Came here a few nights ago for dinner with my family and we had a nice time. I will say, they had a bunch of shrimp with lots of poop in their veins.. a lot of shrimps weren't eaten because of how black they were. This part was a huge turn off. All the other food items and sides that we ordered were perfect though. The employees are pretty attentive and super nice. We do enjoy going to Kickin Crab back in the Bay Area (Northern California) which is home. This location is a bit different but still worth coming to I'd say. This place can get packed quick so try to avoid the busier times. Everything was good here except for a batch of some terrible shrimp otherwise, we had a great time. read more

My friends and I are on a cross country road trip and were really craving a seafood boil--We found this spot on Yelp, about 15 minutes from our hotel, so we decided to check it out. -- Combo #1, which lets you pick 3 out of 4 seafood options for $47, plus corn, sausage, and potatoes. We chose crawfish, mussels, and shrimp head-on with Cajun&Garlic butter--it tasted super tangy for some reason, I think they may have accidentally added lemon pepper but it was good still. --My other friend got 1 lb of crawfish and 1 lb of shrimp with mild Louisiana sauce, which was sweet and buttery. The Louisiana sauce is definitely the go to choice, if you dont know which to get. --We also got rice (a bit dry but perfect for soaking up the sauce) and steamed broccoli, which was cooked deliciously. -- And the only other thing I would mention, is the shrimp and mussels were of good size but the crawfish was on the skinnier/small size.. a little disappointed but still great, nonetheless. The service was great, and everyone was really friendly. Ambiance wise, the store is small and decorated with a beach shack vibe. read more

I saw a post that said KC was the number 1 seafood spot in DFW so I had to try. Service was good but there was 0 seasoning on the crab. I would go back but not sure it's #1 spot. Not pictured is the garlic noodles. Nothing to write home about but good when shrimp were added read more

This is the best seafood boil I have ever had. I loved the flavor from the Kick'n style flavor. The crawfish was also very big and had lots of meat. I liked the shrimp and potato and corn a lot, definitely worth the additional cost. The sausage was alright, I personally did not think its necessary. The servers were really nice and brought us whatever we needed. Lovely restaurant! read more

This is probably the third time I've been to Kicking Crab within the last two months and I can't complain. My usual order is the crawfish with Kickin' Style, with the spicy spice level. I've been pleasantly surprised by the decent size of their crawfish this season, especially considering how hard they've been to find elsewhere. The oysters have also been consistently good-sized during my recent visits. I've experienced varying crowd levels here; weekdays tend to be less busy, but last Saturday had a line out the door, so i would recommend to come prepared for a wait. Despite the crowds, the ample seating helps accommodate everyone, although the noise level can escalate with the lively atmosphere of people enjoying each other's company. read more

The aesthetics were nothing special. It was clean and seating was adequate. Upon entering there is a sign that says what to be seated. No one comes to seat you. They stand behind the counter and wave to you then tell you to find a seat. Ok that's fine. The servers are friendly enough but don't really explain how things work so you have to figure it out yourself. Again that's fine. The food is really good. I had crab legs and mussels and they were perfect. You are supposed to dump the bag onto the table which is covered with a disposable covering. I chose not to do that because I knew I wouldn't eat it all and I didn't want the mess. I ended up using my husband's empty plate for my shells. My husband had the shrimp basket and he really enjoyed it as well. I would go back for the crab legs. We spent about $118 for the two meals and two drinks and tip. read more

Good quality food and everything served nice and hot. The food is very flavorful and worth every dollar spent. My only recommendation is to enhances English fluency for some of the waiters / waitresses because of the language barrier it was difficult to communicate.

Crawfish is so expensive now due to limited supplies in the market. Apparently the drought is killing the breeding. A pound of crawfish was $15.99 when I came in. Also had a pound of clams and they were filling enough. I've frequent their Carrollton location before and it's consistent in recipe. Taste great read more

Kickin Crab is actually my go to spot and one of the best seafood spots in terms of seasoning but I went there yesterday and I felt cheated. I ordered a pound of shrimp and it didn't feel like a pound of shrimp at all and this is my go to order normally. I also ordered a taco and it kind of looked like it was thrown together and not made with love which was very disappointing because it wasn't for me. The seasoning was great per usual but the service and portion was not it this time, I hope they make it up. read more

I went here today because I Googled "best catfish near me", and this popped up. I go in, check out the menu, and don't see catfish. I ask the girl at the counter if they had any, and she says, "Yes, we do. It's just not on the menu. It's listed under Fish n Fries." I should've left then - do you, or don't you have catfish, sis? So I look at the menu and see that the fish in the Fish n Fries basket is listed as "white fish". I ask her again, if she's sure this is catfish, and she says "Yes. I'm sure". She tells me that they are filets, but they are about the size of chicken tenders. That didn't make sense, but I just figured that they were taking a filet and cutting it in half. Fine. I ordered the fish basket and corn to-go. I get home and open up my food. No ma'am, absolutely not - that was NOT catfish. It was maybe swai or the white fish that was listed on the menu, and it was ONE piece of fish, chopped in four pieces. Never seen chicken tenders that looked like squares. For $10, please do better. And sis, please learn the menu if you're going to be advising customers on the menu. I'm giving two stars because the corn in the Louisiana seasoning was DELISH. read more

Skip the gumbo - lacks flavor. Cajun fries - super skinny, crispy with a little spice. They were good. Kickin Wings - average wings, nothing exciting. Garlic noodles - they were garlic noodles. Heavy on the butter. We shared a combo #3: Crawfish were tasty. Shrimp were okay, a little difficult to peel but flavor was good. Snow crab legs were better than I expected, they were cooked okay. The difficulty is the kickin spice we opted for didn't really compliment the crawfish, but more favored the shrimp. And trying to crack crabs legs proved difficult because there's butter and spice coating them. Corn was surprisingly okay. Sausage was just okay. It ain't no Goldie's. But, it's Cajun not BBQ. It's a pretty small place - maybe 20 tables. And it was packed on a Sunday night about 7:30. read more

We expected this place to be good, but we were completely wowed by the flavor of everything we had! Oysters bigger than we've ever seen, an interesting but tasty take on Cajun edamame, and then some of the tastiest mussels we've ever eaten in a sauce so rich in flavor! Definitely recommend the Kickin' Style sauce for any bag item! read more

We choose to make our boil instead of going for the combo. It reached about $20 per each one but it was only because the crawfish and shrimp were a $11 a lb. special. Meaning they are at market price so it may vary. Our choice of sauces: Cajun & spicy for the crawfish boil Cajun & spicy spicy for the shrimp boil It was so delicious!!! I can't wait to go back and try the kickin sauce on some crab legs with a side of their gumbo! The service went up and beyond. The environment was clean and Covid19 safe for dining in. read more

Service was horrible. Shrimp was hard and rubbery. The sauces were served cold for my friend and yet warm for me. The taste of them was sweet and not savory or spicy as we ordered. The gumbo tasted like canned soup. And they serve kid sized cups with like 4 ice cubes. UPDATE: I felt sick for the next several hours after eating this food. Finally tonight it "released". It's been over 24 hours and I've eaten 3 meals prior to "releasing it" and the only thing that came up was the shrimp and garlic pieces I ate! read more

Not impressed with this place at all. First time here with some frequent customers . My thing is always about the sauce . We ordered the hottest sauce for the crawfish and it tasted like normal . We asked for the spiciest sauce they have on side and it still taste like mild sauce . We were very disappointed they couldn't provide anything spicy. Food was mediocre and nothing unique . Never a big fan of the gulf coast oysters . Seems like all these crawfish place have only one selection of oysters which is the nasty gulf coast. Snow crab and fries was also mediocre . Services was decent. read more

We went for my birthday as I have had the place in my bookmarks for a while. Really nicely done in the inside, and nice white (butcher paper) table cloths. :) If you plan on getting anything with sauce, like stuff in a bag, don't wear nice clothes. If you are like me you'll get it all over you. Sauce was great and we didn't have any issue with it being enough for the feed we ordered like others have indicated. I enjoyed it quite a bit and recommend it for those who like spicy seafood boils! read more

I took my husband and son there for the first time and we ordered crab boils, shrimp Alfredo and fried shrimp with fries. Our food came out warm and they crab was tough to crack. The crab was so small mind you we had snow crab and king crab. I'm use to crab boils coming with 2 pieces corn and 4 to 6 sausages and they told us the combo had it with one each. The fried shrimp had a good flavor and the fries were shoestring cut. I will not be going back to KC. I should have stayed with Super Shack. They are the best. Their food comes out piping hot and the crabs are nice size and easy to crack. I just felt that $200 wasn't worth what we got. Super Shack in McKinney is the best hands down for crab boils. I know everyone has their preference but this place didn't do it for me. My family said the same thing. read more

Coming back from my sudden departure (I forgot the password to my account) I have stumbled upon this dingy little restaurant just in the corner of Walnut St. I go in assuming it's a seafood restaurant, until the waiter says it's mostly a bagged seafood location? If you want to do boils then maybe have better presentation; why would I want to eat out of a bag? My family and I wound up getting popcorn shrimp and fish tacos, though the shrimp was incredibly small and the fish unbearably dry. It's ludicrous that the bill was almost 80 dollars. I'm not sure if I'd like to come again. read more

Me and my family loved this place in Garland. I had the special deals - snow crab special (comes with 1 potato, 1corn and 3 sausages) and add crawfish and egg (medium spice and Kickin style seasoning). My family also did the snow crab special and added 1/2 shrimp. Ordered fries and onion rings. We truly loved the service, they were very attentive and asked how was the food and if we needed a refill. The ambiance gave chill vibes and it was really packed. Me and my family will be back again. This actually is the best seafood boil restaurant that I have been to and they did not disappoint. read more

So let's start by saying I totally forgot to get a snap of my food I was extremely hungry! Lol So I found this place looking for another place. However this place was sooo clean on the inside & the staff was fairly nice & ready go answer questions. They have a number of specials. I got the crab special that came w/ two big clusters, 1 potato, 1 corn & sausages but because I don't eat pork & all that they allowed me to get an extra potato or corn. She suggest I get the kickin' style which is all flavors in one, and I got hot.. and I could've went for extra hot because it was hot like expected. The kickin' style flavor is a bit sweet.. but it was good. I also got the edamame spicy on the side & steamed broccoli added inside the bag. I really enjoyed the edamame! Soo good. That was actually spicy. My food was fresh & hot! I enjoyed it! And thanks for not being stingy with the sauce! read more

I had a very nice waitress. She was kind, friendly and was able to provide me with recommendations on what to eat. She also went the extra mile to offer me condiments to support what i ordered- melted butter, sauce, extra sauce, specific types of seasoning. The food didn't take that long to prepare or bring out. While I was eating, she came to ask me if i needed anything about 2 or 3 times which was perfect! Didn't do too much nor too little. The crab, potatoes and shrimp was really good! Hot, seasoned correctly, right texture and most importantly good amount of serving.I was very pleased with that dish that I ordered. However, the shrimp pasta (2nd dish i ordered)left a little to be desired on taste aspect. It tasted bland and needed some more seasoning. That dish had a good portion as well.

Our waitstaff was very attentive and friendly as well as prompt anytime we needed help. Overall, a great experience! Try it, you'll like it! I think they absolutely deserve my 5 rating. Check it out!

Swamp thing. Best drink ever!

Now let me clarify- i am no wimp when it comes to spicy food. I added a side of cabbage and macaroni and cheese. This was the worst slop I have ever seen. The cabbage was overcooked beyond recognition. It was brown and mushy!!! I specifically asked if the macaroni and cheese was made with real cheese and was told yes. Clearly it was NOT. I'm struggling to find the words to describe how horrible this food was. I don't know what the rave is about this place, maybe it's the daiquiris, but the food is garbage. Let my photos speak for themselves. This was a complete waste of $20, tip included. And please know, nowhere in New Orleans will you find turkey necks as small as these. Any bar room, downtown or uptown will have bigger necks than this. And

The…read morequality of their seafood is consistently excellent--always fresh, perfectly prepared, and consistently hitting the mark every single time I visit. It's rare to find a place that maintains such a high standard so reliably. Beyond the food, their bar program deserves high praise. The margaritas here are genuinely potent; they don't skimp on the tequila or water them down with cheap mixers. You get a strong, well-crafted drink that pairs perfectly with the meal. I highly recommend this spot for anyone craving great seafood and a serious margarita.

I am glad I tried this place. I chose to order and take home. The service was good, fast, and…read morepleasant. I like all of the variety. There are many things to choose from. I enjoyed what I tried and I do plan to come back for other visits. This is what I tried: 88 sauce: 8/10 medium spice, garlicky, could have more lemon and a hint of sweetness to balance. I do like this sauce and would try again. Lemon pepper sauce: 10/10 I gelt this one was more of the balance I was looking for. It could still use a bit more sweet but to me it is the best one. Garlic sauce: 7/10 if you enjoy a heavy garlic flavor this is the one. Not too bad but not my favorite due to the lack in balance. Garlic noodles: 8/10 the noodles were cooked perfectly. The garlic is present through and through. I did try it with the 88 special sauce. I also added a hint of sweet with chili sauce. The added sauce brought it up to a 10. Eggs: 8/10 basic boiled eggs. Could have been boiled a few less minutes. Got them in the 88 sauce. White clams: 10/10 I enjoy the tender chew of this over the manila clams. I tried these with the lemon pepper sauce. I like the lemon pepper sauce the best with these. Manila clams: 7/10 these are ok, they are more chewy than the white clams. I am glad I tried them to establish the difference. Crab legs: 10/10 well cooked not over cooked. Juicy and fresh. Sausage, corn, potatoes: 10/10 sausage plumb and juicy with a snap. Corn sweet, plump, and perfectly cooked. Potatoes most of them were cooked perfectly and just a few could have cooked a bit longer.

Located where the former Boiling Crab location used to be on Walnut Street, but with an entirely…read morenew look. I love the decor they use inside. Makes you feel like you're on a ship going deep sea fishing for fresh seafood. Teresa was the server I had. She was so sweet and broke everything down. They have happy hour on select food and beverage items from 12-6pm Monday through Friday, but go ALL DAY Sunday so this is the place to be. You're entertained the moment you walk in as they have an upbeat playlist for guests to sing/dance along to & also have some TV's throughout for those who want to stay in the know. Food was also really well prepared & served HOT. No complaints at all. As of now they also provide guests with a 10% off coupon if you share your experience with them on Facebook, IG, Google or Yelp so don't be afraid to take advantage. I'll definitely be back!

Flying Fish Garland, TX at Firewheel Town Center

We have been coming here for years. We have never been disappointed. They have a huge menu and if…read moreyou join their grub club, you get a coupon every month in your email and you get a free entrée. Buy one get one free. My husband usually gets the 6 pc jumbo fried shrimp and it comes with fries and hush puppies and they have excellent hush puppies. I love their fried catfish and their fried oysters. Sometimes I'll just get a dozen oysters on the half shell and they're usually always good. The staff are friendly. It's a campy place with lots of Billy Bass all over the walls & pictures of fisherman with their big catch but you should try this place. I think you would like it and they don't just have fried fish. They have all sorts of different kinds of seafood and they do have a few things for people who don't like seafood.

I ordered the Coddle Plate ($18.95), which is described as tilapia and jumbo shrimp sautéed with…read morehouse seasonings, topped with a creamy cheese sauce mixed with pico de gallo, served with basil white rice. What I received was completely inedible. The tilapia was burnt and tasted almost rotten, not just overcooked but scorched to the point where the flavor was overpowering and unpleasant. The shrimp were also burnt to a crisp. The tails were visibly blackened, not charred for flavor, but burned. I managed maybe three bites before having to stop. No amount of cheese could cover how bad the fish tasted, and it honestly felt like the cheese was being used to mask a serious cooking issue. This was a complete waste of nearly $20. I also ordered the Grits & Gumbo, described as deep-fried grits with a crunchy exterior topped with house seafood gumbo. The grits were hard and bland, not flavorful. The gumbo itself was disappointing: the roux was thin and bitter, lacking depth or seasoning. The only decent part of the dish was the shrimp, but that alone couldn't save it. I finished the gumbo, so I'm not expecting a refund there, but the coddle plate absolutely should be refunded. It was genuinely inedible. Unfortunately, based on this experience, Flying Fish will not be getting any more of my business. Whoever is running the kitchen does not understand execution, seasoning, or basic seafood preparation. Strongly do not recommend.

I've been here twice now, and both visits have been great. If I had to compare it to other seafood boil spots like Kickin Crab, I'd definitely put this one right up there. The seafood boils are flavorful, the portions are generous, and you definitely get your money's worth. Both times I visited, it wasn't too busy, which made for a relaxed dining experience with little to no wait. The ambiance is nice and casual, the servers were friendly and attentive, and the overall service was great. If you're looking for a solid seafood boil without dealing with long lines, this is definitely worth checking out. read more

My first time coming here was back in 2021 during the ice freeze. From that day forward I have never been able to go to another crab broil without wishing I was here. The flavors and the way they cook their seafood is unlike any other. Specifically, the ability to get sauces to dip on the side makes the meal 10x better then anywhere you could go. read more
