I don’t know why it took me so long to write this, but maybe I was too busy dreaming about the crab boil of my dreams—because @CrackinKitchen truly delivers. I went twice. Yup, twice. And both times? I dove headfirst into their snow crab seafood boil, spicy enough to make you blush and messy enough to remind you that the best meals are never clean. The flavors? Smoky, buttery, kiss-of-heat perfection. Every bite had me licking my fingers and shamelessly reaching for more. Pair that with service as smooth as the Hawaiian breeze, and you’ve got yourself an experience, not just a meal. Oahu, I’ll see you in December. And you already know Crackin’ Kitchen is on my itinerary.
We got the king crab combo and I was a fan of all the sauces. However, the crab meat tasted frozen which is disappointing considering how expensive the combo is. Regarding service, we arrived right when they opened and the sign said they were closed. This confused my family and our two other groups because we thought they were closed. We entered and they were indeed open. When I mentioned that the sign said they were closed they had a massive attitude and said “we just opened, sorry you’re confused🥴” to which I responded “you didn’t confuse me you also confused two other parties that walked away seeing the closed sign.” They missed out on customers by being careless with the closing and opening sign. Overall the food was okay but they had a nasty attitude for no reason.
Probably best if you stick to ordering seafood. I got the guava soy wings because they sounded tasty but they were really small and the sauce was overly sweet, more like pancake syrup. I also got the cajun nacho fries...pretty sure the "cajun seasoning" was just cayenne powder and salt. And a glass of draft beer was $12, which seems pretty steep, even for Waikiki.
It was terrific! My girlfriend and I were trying to figure out what to order based on what we wanted. The server made a suggestion to save us money and get us most of what we wanted. Everything we tried was very tasty. We'll probably order it a little hotter next time since the normal wasn't spicy at all. But that is not a bad thing. It was all so good! Service was great.
Food was Amazing. Best shrimp I've ever had. Staff was super friendly. They were on top of everything. Visual on point. Flavors bomb. Oysters super fresh and tasted amazing with the sweet onion, lemon, and cocktail sauce.
