    This review is long overdue. My husband and I took my parents out for lunch at the Kickin Crab, in Downtown Fullerton. We ordered the seafood boil with Lobster, clams and shrimp. The portions are huge, the food was delicious. The staff were friendly. We even meet one of the owners, she came over to check on us. The restaurant has a fun little atmosphere. If you're looking for good quality food this is the place to go. Food 5/5-++++ Service 5/5 Atmosphere 4.5/5

    This is my first time coming to this location. Place is very vibey, spacious, and clean. Staffs were friendly and accommodating. Celebrated my brother's birthday today. We ordered each a pound of mild shrimp with sausage and corn. Some chicken tinders with cajun fries and fried calamari. Im impressed their shrimp were big in size and cooked well (most of the time, shrimp were overcooked). Their chicken tenders were moist and tender (a lot of times, it's dry). At the end of our meal, our server gave my brother a slice of cheesecake with lit candle and sang happy birthday. Lol. Our server was awesome and he made sure we meet all our needs. Actually, all the staffs constantly check everyone if they need anything. I had a great experience at this location and I would definitely be coming back. I had a pleasure dining here.

    Tried this Kickin Crab location in the city of Fullerton. Greeted and seated. Ambiance was cozy and comfortable. One of the cleanest Kickin Crab establishment I have visited. Ordered some Oysters, drinks, and Noodles. All were delivered within 10 to 15 minutes. Had the opportunity to meet the owners. I forgot their names, but they were very friendly and accommodating, always asking us if we were good. Ambiance was cozy and warm. Service was prompt and food was delicious. I highly recommend this place. Stop by if you are in the area. They recently just opened a few months ago. Plenty of parking nearby. Can be crowded at times but is manageable.

    It was our first time at kickin' crab and it was so yummy! The environment was such a vibe with a nice playlist. Service was amazing probably the best service I've had in oc. Shout out to our server Edgar and his peers they were very friendly and attentive. This place was one of the best seafood places I've had so far. I would definitely recommend coming to this location. Food was so good I forgot to take a before picture...

    This place is amazing, I never ate food so fast in my life. Attentive waiter and an overall clean environment. The owner came out to personally thank us and the other patrons and wanted to let us know we are family. When I am back in Fullerton, this will be my first stop. Amazing!!!!

    What an experience , oh my gawd! Where do i start? Probably with the extremely welcoming enviroment when you first walk in, the staffs are incredibly nice, informative and quickkkk. The restaurant is brand new, clean and huge. The decor is unique with lots of personal touch makes it feel really homey. The food is incredibleeeeee, highlight of the dinner for me were actually the fried fish and soft shell crab tacos. My wife and her brother enjoyed their cajun seafood combo with the kickin sauce, the flavors were flavoring! During our meal, the two owners came and checked on us and the other tables multiple times, i haven't seen that in any restaurants in awhile Clearing my schedule to come back next week!

    1lb Snow crab legs with corn sausage and potatoes on top. 1lb Shrimp on the bottom.

    Best seafood boil in OC! Ambiance, music, service and seafood quality is all superior!! Every time we come here we leave happy and satisfied. The owner is so nice and welcoming. I could eat here every day if I was able to

    I might be obsessed with this place cause I went twice in the same week recently & both times didn't disappoint. I love how one of the owners walks around and really engages with the customers and she even gave me nieces and nephew a lollipop. The food always makes me come back as well and that the wait times aren't as bad as other locations! Rooting for this place success (: I love how they organized the tables in here with enough room for big or small parties.

    Sorry I didn't get a good photo to hungry and decided to show how happy we were with everything. Loved it

    From San Diego here visiting Disneyland got tired of all the same food all throughout the property. Decided on this place because my husband and I were craving some delicious seafood. This place did not disappoint waited only 4 minutes to be seated and 15 minutes max from ordering to receiving our "bags of fun"seafood. Soon after one of the owners came to our table to introduce herself and proceeded to thank us for coming in. Another woman that looked just like the owner saw an older woman with a walker and ran outside grabbed her a chair for the woman with no hesitation I really admire service like that. My only complaint was the four top table from barrels they go with the theme but I have to say it's kind of hard on the knees. Overall my husband and I will be hitting this place up when we come to Disney in the future.

    If I could give 10 stars, I would! Brought my daughter here for her birthday dinner, and it was a top-notch experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is lovely, but the service is what really sets this place apart. The owner is a delightful person and made us feel valued and appreciated! Staff made my baby feel so special and I will forever be grateful. Thank you for an unforgettable time! Highly recommended. Incredible service, great food and a very attentive staff.

    Crab legs. Shrimp, mussels and sausage with medium spice.

What impressed me this time was how well they handled a busy Friday evening with just three young staff members running the floor. They stayed calm, friendly, and on top of things.

Our go-to is the Combo 1 ($34.95) -- you pick any 2 pounds of seafood from crawfish, mussels, clams, octopus, or shrimp, and it comes loaded with 2 corns, 2 potatoes, and 4 sausage slices. It's an incredible deal. When we're really hungry, we tack on an extra pound of seafood and still walk away feeling like we didn't overpay. Compared to similar spots, the prices here are genuinely hard to beat. The service is great, the restaurant is clean, and the vibe is super fun -- they've got TVs all around so you can catch a game while you dig in. It's the kind of place where you roll up your sleeves, put on your bib, and just enjoy yourself. Highly recommend!

I was expecting the usual garlic noodles I get from Asian restaurants, but this had such a unique flavor. Garlicky and cheesy, with some cajun flavors. Was it spicy? Not at all. Maybe they forgot to add the heat, but I was ok with it. The sausage was juicy and flavorful. Portion is large enough that I took 1/2 home for lunch the next day. Husband had their Hawaiian Shrimp Plate. It was supposed to come with pineapples, he didn't get any, and he was fine without them. His mac salad and rice were good. The shrimp unfortunately still had the shells on, which he wasn't expecting, and he wasn't happy about. He hates having to peel shrimp, so he was pretty turned off by this meal. He said he wished it was on the description on the menu, or that the waiter had told him. I tried the shrimp and thought it was good. He said he would never order this dish again. I would definitely get the noodles again, maybe a pound of their peeled/deveined shrimp, and their po'boys sound good too! There are so many great places near our office to get lunch, so I don't know that we'll be rushing back here, but I wouldn't mind eating here again.

I was excited because the rating was high, but it should have went through the reviews a little better. They are located in a shopping center plaza with plenty of parking and only indoor seating. There was no line and a father/son were eating and I asked them, but they thought of the food and they said it was great. I proceed to order one of their combo meals with the Cajun Daddy house sauce mild. I also ordered a side of hot sauce. We also ordered a pound of crawfish and a pound of clams and an order of fries. The service was basic. They put out a paper on our table and brought out our food. They are very skimpy on the lemon, salt and pepper. You have to keep asking for more and they give you very little each time. Let me start off with the fries - they were soft, not crispy and lacked flavor. The seafood is not fresh. I repeat it is not fresh, it is frozen seafood. However, they prepare it, it is obvious that nothing is seasoned or marinated. Their house sauce, which is the daddy sauce didn't do any justice for the seafood. Highly disappointed, especially that we spent a pretty penny. I stopped eating the crawfish and the clams altogether. I continued eating the combo which came with a lobster, crab, legs, and shrimp with the head on. I just could not find any of the seafood tasty. The lobster was terrible, extremely overcooked and chewy. The shrimp, same thing. The crab, it was acceptable. The best thing in this bag was the sausage. There was also potatoes and corn, but I didn't bother to try it. So if you are looking for something quick with no line, come here. But if you want quality and are willing to wait, go somewhere else. I was quite surprised to see a lot of pick up orders taking place.

I asked my hubby if he would stop by on his way home from work one day when "he had time" ;) Well today worked out beautifully!! He called my from the truck and asked what I wanted! I already knew since two weeks ago, (I had been dreaming of this moment for a while!!) Lol! A pound of shrimp and corn on the cob!! It was the Spicy Garlic Cajun Shrimp!! I don't know what the spice level was but I wasn't disappointed!!! There might be a spicier level for you heat lovers out there! So I get my order and it was so beautiful! Huge shrimp, lots of garlic, so saucy, four pieces of corn on the cob aaaand sausage! They also added a sauce in a small container that I'm not quite sure what it was but it tasted amazing!! The corn with the Cajun sauce was WOW! I just fell in love! The price was less than $18 for everything, so well worth every penny! I will definitely be back when I am able to drive myself over here and get my stamp card filled for some free shrimp!! :) Five stars!!! Thanks for reading!!

But this one is perfectly in the middle. We ordered 2 pounds of spicy Cajun shrimp with 1 lb of sausage, order of corns (4) and potatoes ( 3 large russet potatoes cut up in pieces).
