About Kickin'Inn Crows Nest

Kickin'Inn Crows Nest serves generous, hands-on Cajun seafood boils dumped straight onto the table for a lively, shell-cracking feast. Bibs and plastic gloves are standard issue here—cutlery is left behind while groups tear through communal bags of prawns, mud crab, and bay bugs coated in spiced garlic Kajun seasoning. Crowds fill the room for casual group dinners and birthday toasts, where celebratory tables frequently score surprise treats from the floor crew. Squeeze in an order of baguettes or steamed rice to soak up every drop of the peppery boil broth pooling across the butcher paper.

  • Hands-on table boil: Seafood boils arrive bagged and tipped directly onto covered tables to tackle with gloves and bibs.
  • Tailored seafood bags: Customise your catch with prawns, mud crab, or crawfish tossed in rich garlic Kajun seasoning.
  • Perks for young kids: Families get a break with free meals offered for children under five years old.

  • Lively Communal Atmosphere

    The energetic, hands-on boil style brings groups together over generous, shareable portions served with fresh seafood and rich signature sauces.

  • Custom Catch & Spice Combinations

    Guests can customize their seafood feast from scratch, tailoring their mix of shell species, heat intensity, and signature sauce varieties.

    Delicious sauce and spice combos (choose your own adventure). Fresh seafood with plenty of variety (we loved the build your own option).

  • Sauce-Soaking Side Pairings

    Starchy sides such as white rice, baguettes, and potatoes pair naturally with generous boils to capture every drop of seasoned Cajun sauce.

    I also recommend ordering something starchy like rice, potato or bread on the side, it pairs quite well with the sauce and soft seafood meet.

Before you head over

Insider dining advice for your hands-on Cajun seafood feast at Crows Nest

  • Order Starchy Sides for the Sauce

    Pair your seafood boil with white rice, baguettes, or potatoes so you can soak up the rich, bold Cajun sauces without leaving extra sauce behind.

  • Dress in Casual, Breathable Layers

    The hands-on feast can get messy, and the dining room can get quite warm from both the spices and room temperature, so choose casual, easy-to-wash clothing.

  • Note Birthdays When Reserving

    If you are celebrating a birthday, mention it when booking or visiting to enjoy celebratory touches like a complimentary treat or birthday song from the team.
