The first thing to get at the Kickin' Crab is the shrimp . The high meat-to-effort ratio is the best value for the buck. Read more

I'm Cajun and my family is from Louisiana. This is neither Cajun nor Creole. However, it's a great place for fresh crab !

Add the lemon to the salt and pepper . Then you dip your seafood in that sauce.
