Absolutely loved it,, We randomly went for the first time and it was such a fantastic find. The food and service was incredibly good. We had a great experience and will definitely be coming back for more.

Had an amazing dining experience here, plus we ordered a huge takeout feast for Easter. They were running a great crawfish promo, so we had to take advantage of it. The crawfish were perfectly in season super meaty and we went with the Kickin’ Sauce (their house sauce), which I highly recommend. The restaurant itself is spacious, very clean, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. There’s also plenty of parking, which is always a plus. Definitely a go-to spot if you’re craving seafood!

They offer very reasonable price for seafood boil and I love their kickin sauce. Food taste is super fresh. I wish they have more locations in GA. Have to travel 1h from Woodstock to try and fosho I will come at least one a week. Their lychee martini is super good.

I finally found the best seafood boil sit-down restaurant in Atlanta! Let me emphasize, this place is exceptional! As a seafood boil enthusiast, I come from the birthplace of this trend - San Jose, California. Therefore, I believe my opinion holds weight. After a disappointing seafood encounter elsewhere, I was eager to find a seafood boil spot locally! Juicy Crab & HooknReel ain’t got nothing on this! This restaurant isn’t like your typical gimmicky seafood boil restaurant with pirate theme signatures all over the wall. It’s very clean and the customer service is attentive, kind, and patient! To start off we ordered the: Gumbo: 8/10 I didn’t expect much from the gumbo since it’s not authentic Louisiana Cajun cuisine. Who puts corn in gumbo? Let’s just consider it a Cajun soup. It was very tasty and piping hot! Blue Hawaiian adult Capri Sun 7/10 Comes cute in a Capri Sun pouch. Very tropical but on the weak side! Kickin combo deal #2 for $79.99 – Kickin Style spicy Kickin style spicy sauce: 9/10 Not overpowering with too much seasoning, striking a nice balance between sweetness and spice. It did pack a punch in terms of spiciness, but I handled it like a champ. I’ll opt for mild next time, just to play it safe. Shrimp: 10/10 Large shrimp. 1 lb came with about 20–25 shrimp. Fresh! Not mushy or overcooked. Live crawfish: 10/10 Same as the shrimp, very flavorful & fresh! Not sure if it’s live crawfish. Best crawfish locally. We are out of crawfish season, so I’m not sure if it’s actual live crawfish. Whole Dungeness crab: 10/10 The whole Dungeness crab was amazing and so juicy and fatty upon opening. Very expensive for 55 bucks. I’d find $45 or even $40 to be far more reasonable. But hey, I didn’t have to kill and clean it so I’m fine with that. I had a blast bussin that thang open! Sausage: 10/10 Not your typical cheap dollar store sausage! It’s real smoked sausage and not overly spicy! A perfect touch. Corn: 10/10 What can I say, corn is corn. Fresh and not frozen. Boiled eggs: 10/10 One thing I hate is overcooked eggs with the grey eye! These eggs were boiled to perfection and yes that makes a huge difference! Can I kiss the chef? In the future I hope for more choices for seafood and drinks! Maybe blue crabs or cluster Dungeness crab options. Also, more cocktails and perhaps bubble tea? Is that too much to ask for? I thought the garlic noodles were overpriced for just noodles, butter and garlic. 11 bucks is pretty high! I felt like giving the entire staff a group hug after my visit! The only downside is having to endure a whole 45-minute drive from Midtown Atlanta just to satisfy my craving for quality seafood. No other place will do for my seafood boil fix! Huge thanks to Kickin Crab for this incredible culinary adventure! I’ll definitely return soon!
