    Omg havent had sit down seafood in while , sauce was on point , customer service was on point even though they were super busy, food was super on point! Def one of my fav seafood joints to go to. I know everyone is on the boiling crab / tasty tails hype but i still think kickin crab trumps all ! 🦀

    Absolutely delicious and great customer service. Very clean environment and the aroma is as satisfying as the food. There are TVs available but too many to distracting to take away from company you may have with you. Great for dates or families just looking for a nice environment to eat and create memories. Worth the trip from Fort Worth

    The food is Absolutely hands down one of the best. Very simple easy to order menu and they almost always have specials. The dining area is moderate but comfortably seats a considerate amount of people. It can be a little pricey but each boil bag will feed at least three hungry people. It’s always hot and fresh rather you dine in or decide to pick up. The staff are very courteous and attentive. I’ve been here an insane amount of times taken all of my friends and will continue to go back.

    Enjoyed everything, spicy kickin sauce mixed perfect with the sweet crab meat! Adding the garlicky noodles with the extra sauce in the bag is a must! Impressed with the service! Tien, Jasmine, and Dustin were very kind and a true pleasure to be around! Can’t wait to come back!

    I love it so much, especially the garlic noodles, I can’t never find the same great tasting flavor at different places. I didn’t the get the live crawfish cause the season was done but the frozen was really, not tasting frozen, mushy, rubbery at all

    Yet the food was absolutely delicious the next morning me and my family woke up feeling extremely sick. We had went around 8pm on January 9th and ordered crab legs. All of our stomachs were in knots and this has never happened as well as I got a fever and uncontrollable diarrhea. We haven’t re heated our food it was from the restaurant themselves

    Currently the cheapest crawfish I could find at 7.99lb. Medium to large in size and flavorful. There's option with sauce or none at all whatever floats your boat. Also love the owner of the establishment as well he's been the happiest man I've seen running a restaurant. If you want good food this is the place to be!!!!

    My go to place for Cajun food craving. Kept clean and friendly staff. Food is amazing. Sometimes, they get the flavor mixed up so make sure to double check when ordering. (When we order clams in mild and shrimp in spicy, they gave hs spicy clam and mild shrimp.)

    Best crawfish we've had this season. Full of flavors, fresh, and meaty. Great service too.

    The Food was Awesome I have went bin several occasions to see if my experience would be different! I have to say they are the Best Seafood boil in the bag! The best Prices! Good Quality! Not over cooked The flavor is impeccably impressive! Totally better than all of the other competitors that OVERCHARGE AND GIVE YOU SMALL SEAFOOD PORTIONS!

    We love this place! Food is always delicious we used to go to boiling crab but The Kicking Crab beats them at everything, food, service, environment! We come here almost every weekend! Tina she always takes our order even memorized it she knows how we like our food and she has the greatest customer service super nice and very kind! 100% recommend this place! You won’t regret it!

    The food was phenomenal.i had a boiled bag of cream and shrimp And that was so juicy and so flavourful. I also ordered me some cajun fries, They're pretty good, but I like the sweet potato fries better. I also had one of their mitualada drinks, it was good but not worth 9 dollars that I paid for it. A full size beer is about 4.50 to $5. You get 3 fourths of a beer with a little bit of Chalada liquid in it and you pay 9 for it.. I feel that we're getting ripped off with the drinks but the food was amazing.

    This place was deliscious! We normally go to Carrollton but wanted somewhere closer to home. This place fit the bill perfectly! Their garlic pasta was an amazing appetizer. Then we got the seafood bundle with red potatoes, corn, sausage, snow crab legs, SHRIMP and clams. We did he mix of the spices and it came out wonderfully. Highly recommend.

    I had a craving for crab recently. I went to Kings Crab Shack over in Rockwall, I went to Red Lobster crab fest…. Neither come close to the flavor and quality of Kickin Crab!!! I love the Kickin sauce mild and a side of rice, put some of the sauce on the rice as you eat. Best quality crab in the area, but also this was the most expensive place of the three I tried.

  • 5/5 Jiselle M. 1 year ago on Google
    Got the 29.99 special and it was sooo good, the crab had a lot of meat, and the shrimp is plump. The employees were very nice! Overall 10/10 experience. If you have a low spice tolerance stick with mild : )

    As you savor each bite, you can't help but appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into creating a meal that is not just nourishment but a celebration of culinary excellence.

    I had a great time coming here. The food was delicious! The wait was not too bad. The one downside to the visit was that 2 different times I noticed people come in and steal a table for themselves without waiting like everyone else. Rather than being told to wait or that someone else was in front of them, the workers just started helping/serving them. Everything was amazing but I do believe people should wait their turn like everyone else and should be held accountable when cutting others.

    Love the seafood here! I bring my friends here and suggest it to my friends. Great prices too. One time I came an hour before closing, they took care of me like I been there like they just opened. DO NOT COME 5 mins before they close. They got to go home too.

    Love this place and it’s warm staff. I’ve been coming here for about 3 yrs now and the quality of the food and staff ARE ALWAYS ON POINT! That’s hard to come by in any restaurant. Always clean, always friendly and inviting.. the food is perfection.. On my way! Now 😂😂

    Five stars 🤩 take great seafood everything fresh, the spicy is exactly that spicy. My family and I all went this past Sunday and they all loved it to. No complaints at all. I've been to this place more than 4 times this month. And each time no change everything was still great and fresh

    Never again. I'm trying to figure out how this place stays in business. The Margarita tasted like a snowcone and was $9 which should have been $1. I had the trout plate and I literally ate 2 bites of the trout and was done with it. My chicken wings were bland but were supposed to be garlic butter. They weren't. They had 0 flavor at all and were cooked too crispy. I ate 1 wing and was done with that mess. My friend's meal was messed up as well and she actually sent it back and it still wasn't right. They manage to mess up crab legs, royally. The best part about this visit was leaving and we still felt screwed over because we still paid.
