The Kickin’ Crab Johns Creek — Restaurant in Johns Creek

This was our first time here, wanting to find a seafood boil place near Alpharetta (Avalon) area. 20 mins (or less) is this gem.

Rating: If I could give 100 stars, I would. Let me start by saying my husband and I are ULTIMATE foodies. We look for the quality of food, the freshness, the quantity, and wait time. If you are looking for a seafood boil place like Juicy Crab … this is 1000 times BETTER!

Ambiance & Service: We arrived around 7PM on a Friday night (before spring break) and were immediately seated. This restaurant is a laid back, easy breezy type of vibe. Dai (pronounced Dye) was our server and man oh man am I glad we got him. Not only was he friendly but honest! And you know that goes a LOOOONG way especially if you’ve never been to a restaurant before. He made recommendations and that truly made our experience even better.

Food: Now the part you’ve been waiting for. THE FOOD! We were allowed to sample the medium “Kickin Style” seasoning . Dai did mention it was spicy and it was the perfect amount. We both decided to use this seasoning on our combos.

My food. To drink I had the frozen lime margarita & the Kickin’ Combo Deal #2 with snow crab legs (3 clusters), shrimp (head off which we were told was an up charge ahead of time), & crawfish with 2 corns, 2 potatoes, & 4 sausages (already sliced).

My husband’s food. To drink he had the Sweetwater 420 & the Kickin’ Combo Deal #2 with the whole lobster (suggested by Dai), shrimp, and crawfish with 2 corns, 2 potatoes, & 4 sausages. He also included 2 eggs (up charge)

These combos did NOT disappoint nor the service as Andy the manager came over as well and checked in.

I can go on & on about how great this place is but if you’ve made it this far … it’s time to experience for yourself, you...

Took my mom, my wife, and our two little kids (both under 6) to The Kickin’ Crab in Duluth, and we had an awesome time. The place was busy the whole time we were there, with lots of people coming and going, but it still felt relaxed and easy to enjoy. The staff was super kind and helpful from the start, which made a big difference since we had kids with us.

My wife and mom ordered some drinks that came in fun little bags, and they really liked them. I got the small double crab with medium spice, which was about $40. It came out nice and hot, and the flavor was great. I usually like a decent amount of heat, and this hit the spot without being too much.

The rest of the family shared the B Combo, which was around $85. It had a ton of food, and they loved every bit of it. We got the Kickin’ sauce on both orders, and it was incredible. Even the no-spice tray had plenty of flavor, and it worked well for the kids and my mom.

We all left full and happy. Great food, great people, and a fun vibe. We’ll...

We have heard raving reviews about the Kickin' Crab and finally had a chance to try them out! Wow! This place is excellent and the hype is true! We came at an off hour so it wasn't busy and the service was friendly and helpful. We ordered a dozen oysters, garlic noodles with the combo sauce at the mild spicy level (was great! Maybe next time we might order medium spicy level), and combo #3 with a Dungeness crab, with clams, shrimp, and craw fish, and a margarita, sprite and coke to drink. What a great place to have a seafood boil. The food was excellent, the vibe was kick back and hip and relaxed, and the entire experience was a 5 star feast! The garlic noodles come with the sauce you order, again I recommend the sauce that comes with 4 sauces combined, and you mix it with the garlic noodles. It's delicious!

Parking is easy and the prices are reasonable to a bit high. Thank you to the staff and owners for bringing such a fabulous restaurant to...
