Local tip
Booking ahead can help groups secure a shared table, particularly during busy shopping-centre dining periods.

kickin'Inn Southport brings a hands-on Cajun seafood boil experience to Australia Fair Metro on Scarborough Street. The Southport venue suits diners looking for a casual meal built around bold seasoning, shared seafood and a more interactive format than a conventional plated dinner. Its Gold Coast setting makes it a practical option for a shopping-centre meal, a family gathering or a catch-up with friends.

The menu style centres on seafood served in shareable bags, with the meal designed around cracking, peeling and digging in. The broader Kickin’Inn offering includes seafood such as prawns, crab, lobster, mussels, pipis and bay bugs, with the exact selection depending on the menu available at the time. This format gives the table a communal focus, allowing diners to share a spread rather than ordering a series of separate individual dishes.

Flavour is central to the experience. Cajun influence and noticeable spice give the food a bold character, while the bag-style presentation keeps the meal informal and hands-on. The approach is well suited to diners who enjoy seafood with a social element, as well as groups that want a meal with a little more participation than standard restaurant service. It also provides a setting for family dining, with the venue’s wider offering including family-focused initiatives.

kickin'Inn Southport is located at Shop M029/58 Scarborough Street, within Australia Fair Metro. The shopping-centre location offers an easy landmark for visitors planning a meal in Southport, although seating and access arrangements are best confirmed before arrival when a booking has particular requirements. The venue also accepts function enquiries, making it relevant for larger gatherings as well as ordinary meals.

A reservation is worth considering for busy periods, particularly when a group wants to sit together. Diners with allergies, dietary requirements or preferences around spice can raise those details with the venue before ordering so suitable choices can be discussed. The seafood-boil format may be especially appealing to groups who enjoy sharing food, trying several types of seafood and embracing a relaxed, hands-on dining style. With its bold Cajun character and communal presentation, the Southport location offers a straightforward choice for seafood-focused meals at Australia Fair Metro.
