Before you finalize a table at Kim’s Seafood, here’s what you’ll actually pay for their signature crab dishes and fried baskets. You need the real numbers before you order, because this menu is bigger than the average neighborhood spot. We pulled together the full Kim’s Seafood Menu with Prices so you can plan your meal without doing mental math at the table.
This guide breaks down every section, from raw bar items to family platters. You will see exactly what a dozen oysters costs and how much that garlic butter crab runs. No surprises when the check arrives.
Kim’s Seafood Menu With Prices
Kim’s Seafood operates as a casual, counter-order style restaurant with a strong focus on Louisiana boils. They also do fried seafood baskets, po’boys, and a few land options for picky eaters. Prices shift slightly by season, especially for crab, but the list below reflects the current standard rates.
We organized the menu by category. Each item includes the portion size and the price you pay before tax. Drink prices are separate and listed at the end.
Raw Bar And Chilled Seafood
Start with something cold if you want to test the freshness. The raw bar is simple, but the quality is consistent.
- Oysters on the Half Shell (6 pcs) – $12.99
- Oysters on the Half Shell (12 pcs) – $24.99
- Shrimp Cocktail (8 pcs) – $11.49
- Peel and Eat Shrimp (1/2 lb) – $10.99
- Peel and Eat Shrimp (1 lb) – $19.99
- Crab Cocktail (1/2 lb lump) – $16.99
- Chilled King Crab Legs (1 lb) – $34.99
Most people skip the chilled crab and go straight for the boil. But if you want something quick, the shrimp cocktail is a solid starter.
Signature Crab Boils
This is the heart of the menu. You pick your crab type, then you pick your seasoning and spice level. The price includes the crab, one potato, one corn cob, and one sausage link.
- Snow Crab Cluster (1 lb) – $27.99
- Snow Crab Cluster (2 lb) – $52.99
- Dungeness Crab (whole, approx 1.5 lb) – $38.99
- Blue Crab (6 pcs) – $18.99
- King Crab Legs (1 lb) – $44.99
- King Crab Legs (2 lb) – $86.99
- Stone Crab Claws (4 pcs) – $22.99
Kim’s uses a garlic butter base that is heavy on the lemon. You can add extra garlic butter for $2.50. They also offer a “Kim’s Special Sauce” that is a mix of their house hot sauce and butter, but it costs an extra $1.00 per serving.
Seasoning Options For Crab
You do not have to stick with the default seasoning. Every crab boil comes with a choice of one of these:
- Kim’s Original (mild, buttery)
- Lemon Pepper
- Garlic Parmesan
- Spicy Cajun (medium heat)
- Insane Heat (signature, very hot)
If you want a mix of two seasonings, they charge $1.50 extra. The Insane Heat option is not for beginners. We watched a guy send his back because he could not handle it.
Shrimp And Crawfish Boils
If crab is too pricey, the shrimp and crawfish boils give you the same experience for less money. These come with the same sides as the crab boils.
- Shrimp Boil (1/2 lb) – $13.99
- Shrimp Boil (1 lb) – $22.99
- Crawfish Boil (1 lb) – $14.99
- Crawfish Boil (2 lb) – $27.99
- Combo Boil (1/2 lb shrimp + 1 lb crawfish) – $24.99
- Combo Boil (1 lb shrimp + 1 lb crawfish) – $32.99
The crawfish are seasonal. If they are out of season, they will substitute with extra shrimp at no additional cost. You should ask before ordering if crawfish is your main goal.
Fried Seafood Baskets
These baskets come with french fries, coleslaw, and a dinner roll. You can swap the fries for onion rings for $1.99 extra. The fried food is cooked to order, so expect a short wait.
- Fried Shrimp Basket (10 pcs) – $14.99
- Fried Oyster Basket (10 pcs) – $15.99
- Fried Catfish Basket (2 fillets) – $13.49
- Fried Clam Strip Basket – $14.49
- Fish and Chips Basket (3 pcs cod) – $15.99
- Combo Basket (shrimp + oysters) – $18.99
- Combo Basket (shrimp + fish) – $17.99
Each basket is a decent portion. The fried shrimp basket has ten medium-sized shrimp, not the tiny popcorn kind. The coleslaw is creamy and a little sweet, which balances the salty fries.
Po’boys And Sandwiches
You can get any fried seafood on a toasted french roll. The po’boys come with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and remoulade sauce on the side. You choose the heat level for the sauce.
- Fried Shrimp Po’boy – $13.99
- Fried Oyster Po’boy – $14.99
- Fried Catfish Po’boy – $12.99
- Soft Shell Crab Po’boy – $16.99
- Grilled Shrimp Po’boy – $14.49
- Lobster Roll (cold, with lemon butter) – $19.99
All sandwiches come with a side of fries or a small salad. The lobster roll is a newer addition and sells out early on weekends. If you want it, go before 6 PM.
Family Platters And Group Orders
For groups of three or more, the family platters are the best value. You get a mix of seafood and a larger portion of sides. These are served on a big tray in the middle of the table.
- Family Platter A (1 lb shrimp, 1 lb crawfish, 1 lb snow crab) – $59.99
- Family Platter B (2 lb shrimp, 2 lb crawfish, 1 lb snow crab, 6 oysters) – $79.99
- Family Platter C (2 lb king crab, 2 lb shrimp, 2 corn, 2 potato) – $109.99
- The “Kim’s Special” (1 lb king crab, 1 lb snow crab, 1 lb shrimp, 1 lb crawfish) – $94.99
These platters do not include drinks or dessert. They also do not include extra dipping sauces. Each additional sauce is $1.00.
Land Options For Non-Seafood Eaters
Not everyone in your group wants seafood. Kim’s has a few basic options that are not listed on the big board. You have to ask for these at the counter.
- Chicken Tenders Basket (5 pcs) – $11.99
- Fried Shrimp and Chicken Combo – $16.99
- Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwich – $10.99
- Side of French Fries (large) – $4.99
These are not the reason you come to Kim’s, but they are fine for kids or picky friends. The chicken tenders are frozen, not house-made.
Sides And Add-Ons
You can order extra sides if the included ones are not enough. The portions are generous, so two people can share one extra side.
- Extra Corn on the Cob – $2.99
- Extra Potato – $2.49
- Extra Sausage Link – $3.49
- Extra Coleslaw – $2.99
- Extra Garlic Butter (4 oz) – $3.99
- Extra Remoulade Sauce – $1.49
- Extra Cocktail Sauce – $1.49
The garlic butter is worth the extra cost. The standard amount is enough for one pound of crab, but if you order two pounds, you will run out halfway through.
Kids Menu
Kids meals come with a small drink and a side of fries or applesauce. The portions are small, meant for children under 10.
- Kids Fried Shrimp (5 pcs) – $7.99
- Kids Chicken Tenders (3 pcs) – $6.99
- Kids Fish Sticks (4 pcs) – $6.49
- Kids Mac and Cheese – $4.99
There is no discount for sharing a kids meal. The staff will not split a regular basket into two plates, so if you have two small kids, order two kids meals.
Drinks And Desserts
The drink selection is standard. They have bottled sodas, canned iced tea, and a few fountain options. No alcohol is served at this location.
- Bottled Soda – $2.49
- Fountain Drink (refillable) – $2.99
- Bottled Water – $1.99
- Sweet Tea (large) – $3.49
- Key Lime Pie (slice) – $5.99
- Cheesecake (slice) – $6.49
The key lime pie is tart and cold, a good way to end a heavy meal. The cheesecake is a standard commercial product, nothing special.
Prices And Timing Tips
Here are a few practical things we noticed during our visit. These will help you avoid sticker shock or long waits.
- Prices do not include tax. You will pay around 8% more at the register.
- Kim’s charges a 3% fee if you pay with a credit card. Cash avoids this fee.
- Peak hours are Friday and Saturday from 6 PM to 8 PM. Wait times can hit 45 minutes.
- The crab prices are market-based. If the wholesale price goes up, the menu price changes without notice.
- Takeout orders are packed well, but the crab cools fast. Eat within 20 minutes.
You should also know that the spice level “Insane Heat” is not an exaggeration. If you order it, have a glass of milk ready. The staff will warn you, but most people do not listen.
How To Order Efficiently
Ordering at Kim’s is straightforward if you follow this process. The counter staff moves fast, so be ready.
- Look at the menu board above the counter first. Do not ask questions while people are waiting behind you.
- Tell the cashier your crab type and weight. Example: “One pound snow crab, garlic parmesan, medium.”
- Choose your spice level. Say “mild” if you are unsure.
- Pay at the counter. Check if you have cash to avoid the credit card fee.
- Take your number and find a seat. The food comes out in 10 to 15 minutes for boils, faster for fried baskets.
If you order a combo boil, specify whether you want the shrimp and crawfish cooked together or separate. Together is faster, but separate keeps the flavors cleaner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions about pricing and menu details. These come from our own visit and from what the staff told us.
Does Kim’s Seafood offer a lunch discount?
No. The prices are the same all day. There is no lunch special or happy hour. The only discount is the 3% cash discount.
Can I get a half order of a family platter?
No. The family platters are fixed portions. You cannot order half of Platter B. Instead, order two separate boils and share them.
Are the crab prices per pound or per cluster?
Per pound. A “cluster” is just the shape of the snow crab. You pay for the weight, not the number of legs. A 2 lb order is roughly two clusters.
Is there a minimum order for the boils?
No minimum. You can order a half pound of shrimp if you want. However, the half pound portion is small, so most people order at least one pound.
Does Kim’s Seafood charge for extra napkins or wet wipes?
No. Napkins and wet wipes are free. You can grab as many as you need from the dispenser near the drink station.
Final Verdict On Pricing
Kim’s Seafood is not the cheapest spot in town, but the quality matches the price. A meal for two with one pound of snow crab, one shrimp basket, and two drinks will run you about $65 before tax. That is reasonable for fresh seafood.
The best value on the menu is the shrimp boil at $22.99 per pound. You get a lot of food for the money. The worst value is the chilled king crab at $34.99 per pound, because you are paying for the name, not the quantity.
If you want the full experience without breaking the bank, go with the Combo Boil or the Family Platter A. Both give you variety and a decent portion size. Avoid the add-ons unless you really need extra sauce.
Now you know the real costs. You can walk in, order with confidence, and enjoy your meal without guessing at the final bill. Bring cash, pick your spice level wisely, and save room for the key lime pie.
