Love their food. It's really good. Just make sure to check your bags bc it doesn't seem like they weigh it. Me and my friend both got 1 lbs of headless shrimp yet his bag is noticeably bigger. They also forgot my potatoes (his didn't have potatoes) and added more corn than I asked. I went back to let them know and they were kinda helpful.. but just check your food and compare it with others to ensure it's the right size. read more

Stopped by Kicking Crab on a whim and I'm so glad we did. The Cajun-style seafood boil hit the spot -- crab legs were packed with meat and the sauce had this smoky, buttery kick that we ended up dipping our fries in too. Not overly salty like some boil spots can be. Service was quick even though it was pretty busy, and they were upfront about wait times instead of just leaving us guessing. Prices felt fair for the amount of food we got, especially split between two people. Already planning our next visit -- this is going on my regular rotation. read more

Amazing Experience! Had such a great experience at The Kickin' Crab! The seafood was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor! A special shoutout to our waiter Ernesto! He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. His excellent service made our experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Ernesto, for taking such great care of us! We'll definitely be coming back! read more

First time visiting this place and we arrived close to closing time, but everything was still amazing! The crawfish were fresh, huge, and packed with flavor. The seasoning was delicious and perfectly coated every piece. The restaurant was clean, spacious, and comfortable. What impressed me the most was the staff. Even though it was almost closing time, everyone was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service without making us feel rushed. Overall, a wonderful experience. Great food, great atmosphere, and great customer service. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

The Kickin' Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Long Beach, California

Food was very yummy! Sauce was delish. My qualm is with the service. I wasn't allowed to get the sauce in the side (I don't think she knew how to tap it into her iPad thingie). Our noodles were delicious, but late (halfway through the meal, we thought she forgot, when I was about to say something, a gentleman brought it). After the initial food drop off, she never came back to offer beverage refills, or to inquire if we needed anything else (we actually wanted another 2 lbs. of shrimp, but nvm). She asked if we wanted our check, and that was it. Had to go up to the counter to pay. Two lbs of shrimp, hard boiled eggs, potatoes, corn and garlic noods with Shrimp, broccoli came out to $92 with tax. Yeah, she was either new to the service industry, poorly trained, or this location needs training from the Orange County locations. Been going to KC for years. Went to this location because we were famished from the Halloween convention down the street. Facility was clean. read more

Came here on a Wednesday around 7pm. Parking lot. Big tables. They were out of some items already like lobster tail and mussles. Ordered fries were seasoned well. Ordered kickin sauce not too spicy for mild. Inside corn and potatoes well cooked. The lower was ok. The shrimp was big and good. The snowcrab legs were good. 2 lbs pf shrimp filled up around 3 people. Rice couldve been cooked better. Service was kind. All in all good time and good taste. read more

The Kickin' Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Long Beach, California

First time here! My partner is a big seafood person and as we passed it, we finally decided to stop by. Im not into seafood, hence the chicken strip order lol! He really enjoyed his bag but was a bit disappointed they were out of a VERY long list of things like corn and eggs and even king crab (they mentioned their order was late...) Nevertheless we stayed for a few beers and some food. Pretty pricey for a bag that didn't include too many food items. The girl who helped us was AMAZING!! And the guy who checked on us while she was on lunch was also a superstar!! You guys are the reason we stuck around!!! The restaurant is nice and i loved the ceiling but the tables seemed a bit close. They have their own parking lot and it's pretty big. We also waited absolutely no time before being seated. Definitely gonna think twice about coming back but who knows... read more

If you're craving a messy, flavorful seafood feast, The Kickin' Crab definitely delivers. Their crab boil is the star of the show--perfectly cooked, juicy crab coated in a rich, buttery sauce that hits that ideal balance of garlic, spice, and a little tang. You can customize the heat level, which is great whether you like just a mild kick or something that really brings the fire. Be prepared to get your hands dirty--in the best way possible. They give you gloves and everything comes out in a bag, soaked in sauce, which just adds to the fun, casual vibe. The portions are generous, and it's the kind of meal that's even better when shared. Service can get a little busy during peak hours, but the staff is friendly and keeps things moving. Overall, it's a go-to spot when you're in the mood for bold flavors, good portions, and a laid-back seafood experience. read more

I'm not a huge seafood fan but my family is. I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Very clean on the inside. Of course it smells somewhat like seafood but it's not unbearable like some of the other seafood broil places. The food was yummy and portions were good. The service was very good. Our server was very good and attentive. Definitely one of the better seafood broil bag places we have visited. read more

The Kickin' Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Long Beach, California

Definitely recommend this place . This is where we started when we first tried this place over a year ago , we've been to 2 other locations but this one has always been very good to us . Our server today was awesome. Very kind and a great attitude Food always hits . Head on shrimp is my go to . I don't recommend going over medium spicy level due to stomachaches . Or maybe thats just me but if you really want to enjoy it with out any distress do mild or medium for just enough of a kick. Ambiance is very chill . It can get cold at times in there so definitely bring a jacket . . No complains . 10/10 finger licking tasty . Definitely prefer this over The boiling crab . read more

I ordered online and called before hand to verify i was able to buy 4 extra sauces. The person who answered the phone said yes, that should be fine. In person , I picked up my order and was told I could only order 1 sauce. Bait and switch. I asked why I was told differently t over the phone. They said "I don't know" Sucks cause I live down the street, last time coming here read more

My husband and I just ate here tonight and it was excellent! We had the best service ever with a Server/Supervisor named Juan! He has a very vibrant and very positive outlook. His parents should be very proud of him! This man is going to go far in life! And the food was also very delicious! My husband had the fish and fries. I had 1 pound of shrimp with Kickin' sauce, medium style with a side of rice and corn. We left feeling great! I wish the very best to Juan and his endeavors. Thank you. read more
