The Dancing Crab

Y'all really put one crab leg, one tiny potato and a half an ear of corn in front of a grown man. 🤣 Why do pictures on your page show full dinner plates? Never again

After driving by 'The Dancing Crab' for what seems like years, we decided to finally give the place a try. Valentine's Day. Seemed like a great time to try something new. Initially everything seemed fine. The place was busy but the staff seemed relaxed. Gave us the sense this was the normal pace and the server took our order and brought our drinks reasonable amount of time. Then we wait. And wait... AND wait. Almost an hour into the evening she finally is headed our way with a steam bag of our dinner. She departed quickly after depositing it between us on the table. I noticed something which didn't seem right... upon further examination I quickly realize it was not what we ordered. It took us more than a few minutes to flag someone down who proceeded to get our server. She quickly realized it was the right order for a different table and proceeded to deliver it to them. After I went to retrieve a menu so I could explicitly show her which item we order (verbally and visually but pointing to it on the menu, as i did the first time) she departed towards the kitchen. Approximately 40 more minutes go by (without any staff interaction) and I finally ask to speak to a manager. He was apologetic. Although his initial reaction was 'we're busy' he decided to bump our reorder up in the work queue. After waiting another almost 10 minutes, our original order arrived. After a quick visual inspection it seemed like the correct order. I opened the steam bag of the 'Medium (hot) Cajun' flavored dinner my Valentine's Date chose a snow crab cluster while I grabbed a single shrimp to sample. As I'm peeling the shell way, she discovered that the crab cluster was still cold... partially FROZEN still. A fully steamed bag of snow crab legs, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn etc... and somehow not steamed enough to even thaw some of the ingredients. What other hospital-trip-inducing delights awaited us inside this delectable treasure bag of goodness? The world may never know. In the immortal words ofBill Engvall, here's your sign. We tool turns going to wash our hands. As I was explaining to our server why we were leaving I accidentally touched the crab cluster to show her where it was still partially frozen I realized I had some of the 'flavoring' on my finger. Rather than make an additional trip to the bathroom to wash my hands I chose to just lick the small amount off that finger. To my surprise there was not flavor No Cajun. No 'Medium' heat. NO NOTHING. I began to question if I'd somehow contracted covid and quickly lost my sense of taste. (Later confirmed that I had not.) We were hoping for a nice quiet dining experience. Instead, we got 'The Dancing Crab' experience. Consider yourself warned. -0.1 Stars

Oysters=fishy, crackers=stale, seasoning=bland. Not worth the money.

Customer service was very poor today! Stood at the front behind another couple for about 10 minutes without being greeted! Ended up just walking out and the couple in front of me proceeded to do the same thing!! Invited them to Craft Crab with me and my guest because that was ridiculous

Refuse to sit anyone at 9pm

We decided to do takeout from this restaurant on Thanksgiving, and while the food itself was excellent, the overall experience left much to be desired.
Unfortunately, some items were missing from our order, which was frustrating. We tried calling the restaurant to resolve the issue, but no one answered, adding to our disappointment.

It’s a shame because the food quality is top-notch, but the service needs improvement. Make sure to double-check your order before leaving the restaurant.

Just called for a very easy 1 person order for pick up and she said “Uhh we are going to close the kitchen” I asked what time does the kitchen usually close, she said “10:30” it was 10:24… I should have been able to order.

For the amount of money I spent the lobsters was raw had to take them back and when we got them back it was over cook and hard. There was only 6 shrimps in the bag. Just didn’t have a good experience. Don’t think we will go back.
