If I could give 0 stars I would. I went here for my birthday which is today. Elsa was a horrible waitress, very impatient, loud & obnoxious. You say something to her and she’s basically yelling at you so the whole restaurant is looking and hearing what you’re complaining about. My crabs came out with so many barnacles on it, I was biting into barnacles while trying to eat my potatoes so I returned it and asked for wings. She did not once apologize and tried being funny when we went to pay. I ate two spoons of rice and she charged me for it. This was my usual spot but I will not be back.

The food is positively outstanding. I have had seafood boils in the past, this was far superior! My sister and I had the crab and shrimp boil with garlic butter and finished the whole bag. The only thing missing was sausages which is fine because I'm not crazy for pork. They could have thrown another potato in there, but otherwise it was perfect. I am nearly fifty years on this earth and have never had corn so delicious before.
The theme is obviously under the sea with a splash of American staples like licensed plates decor and life-sized Blues brothers in front of a stage. They've also thrown in a claw machine for fun.
The biggest issue I had is that there was a smelly mop bucket in the corner on the way to the bathroom. But I cannot stress enough that the food was amazing and I will return even with the mop bucket!

The food was great - drinks were great - staff is great!!! This is not the first time that Elsa was our server. She always does an amazing job and we’re always parties of 8 or more and have not experienced any issues!!

Cool atmosphere with a car and garage theme. Shrimp and crayfish boil with corn and potatoes was okay, but missed the garlic in the garlic butter seasoning. Service was friendly and quick. Price was about average for the a seafood boil.

Food is great but the 4 times I have been here my order is always wrong. My bill always needs to be corrected. I ordered a seafood boil to go and requested medium heat. When I got home the seafood boil was so spicy no one could enjoy it. Waste of money. I give up on this place.

Take the empty parking lot as a sign!The food was sketchy and portions small, the sauce was gritty…the bathroom was gross and falling apart. The only positive was the host/server/bartender (he was doing it all) was very nice and attentive but that’s about it . We regret not going to our usual Crafty Crab across the street

used to love The Dancing Crab. About two years ago, it was a fantastic spot with delicious food and vibrant energy that made every visit a treat. Unfortunately, it’s been a steady decline since then. Each time we’ve returned, the experience has gotten worse. The service is painfully slow, the food has lost its flair and just isn’t as tasty as it once was. To top it off, the staff and manager have repeatedly mixed up bills, and instead of owning the mistake, they make you feel like you’re in the wrong. It’s frustrating and disappointing. I can’t recommend The Dancing Crab anymore—save your time and money for somewhere else.

I ordered a seafood boil, and they have mess up my order not just the first time, but the third time. I have order 2 pounds of shrimps, 2 pounds of crabs, and 2 pounds of mussels, and 1 pound of corn, and spent over 90 dollars, but only got the shrimp, and the mussels!! I am very upset!
