Best seafood boil in the area. I used to go to Captn Loui on Main Street, which is still a solid establishment, until I found this place. This seafood boil in my opinion is slightly better than the competition in the area generally.There is often no wait at all here so it’s easy to get a table. The staff is attentive and helpful in answering questions. Overall it’s a go to spot for me and I recommend it!Dietary restrictions: Most things are gluten free by nature of the food

It was a little hard to find the entrance and we had to go through the gopchang restaurant. The staff was attentive in giving recommendations except that he mistook combo H had the lobster. The boil came out hot enough and especially loved the clams as a lover. I liked the service from the beginning to end overall.

I have not had a seafood broil in years, this place was an incredible return. The flavors were delicious and the portion was perfect for a person who eats with his or her eyes. I am looking forward to returning. The only thing is that the directions to the location are confusing since MapQuest took me to the parking look which doesn't have the name of the business facing it.Kid-friendliness: My 3 year old niece had a blast. She can be a little picky with food but she tried and enjoyed everything. The owner even gave her a little yogurt that she enjoyed.

Pretty nice looking place but the crabs were of poor quality. Many of our crabs were coming up empty. I know they can't control that, but perhaps they should address with their distributors. The other issue we had was that when we ordered the mild dressing, it came in super spicy. It wasn't done in error. That's just how spicy mild is. I never in my life experienced the pain I encountered on my tongue, and I take cayenne pepper everyday. My mouth hurt to the point that I wanted to see a doctor. Not sure if I'll go there again. Customer service was courteous and friendly.

Came here today with my family….man, it was delicious. The garlic butter they have is something I would bathe in and buy buckets of to pour on all my food. The seafood we had was of incredible value and quality—moist, tender, and way more than we expected. Rice was cooked to perfection; the service was great; the slushes are to die for! This has been our 5th time coming here and we love it so, so much. A great place with great vibes. Best of all: we’ve never had to wait for a table! You come right in and get to eating.

I've been to a lot of seafood boil places, but Dancing Camaron is by far the best! The seafood is fresh and the portions are generous. I have no idea why this place is not more famous, because the quality and service are really good!The last time I went, We ordered the seafood for two. It came with shrimp, clams, mussels, crawfish, corn, potatoes, and sausage. They also have sweet potato fries and pasta on the side that will surely fill you up! The shrimp were sweet and juicy, and the rest of the seafood was very fresh. We ordered the the seafood in cajun garlic butter sauce (spicy), and it was the perfect spice for us. We couldn't even finish the entire thing, it was so much food!The only downside is that the restaurant is a bit hard to find. It's located in the back of Meat Bros, and there aren't a lot of signs. But if you can find it, I highly recommend it.

I was too hungry to wait and take pictures lol but the food was sooo good. TL;DR-food is fresh and tasty, just go. I ordered Combo D which is snow crab legs with shrimp & sausage. I got my shrimp with heads off for an extra $3. Each bag cubes with a potato and corn. I also got a pound of mussels. & to drink, their homemade lychee peach ade (wow!)The ambiance is very cute. They've got a huge neon sign in the Nike style font that says "Just Do Eat" and the check is actually a shrimp!At first sight, it seems like it's a small amount of food, but boy was I wrong.At first taste, the shrimp tasted fresh which is exactly what you'd want. Their mussels are live there, they were big and fresh too. A little gritty, but that's expected. The crabs were easy to eat and they provide with you tools. They claim to use real butter in their bags. But what really made me choose this place over Capt Loui was their dairy free option as I'm lactose intolerant. Now the only downside to that is you can only get the Cajun sauce dairy free but I really wanted lemon pepper. The service was great. The waiter helped me put on my bib as I has started eating before it came out (again too hungry to wait!). & when I ordered a bottle of water, he also opened that for us too. I would absolutely go here again.I went with my sister and she also got Combo D. Everything plus 2 drinks, 2 waters, & the mussels was 130$. Which is great in my book.

We came for the lobster rolls, and it was amazing! I don't usually seek out lobster rolls, but we were curious about the live whole lobster roll. They use incredibly tender and fresh lobster with the best pieces sauteed in the dreamiest garlic, butter sauce and put on a toasted bun (reminds me of hokkaido milk toast)! I never craved lobster rolls before, but after coming here, I would like lobster rolls at least once a month, haha!

The best customer service. I'm not sure if the owner was serving us but they even offered to put the food bibs on my girlfriend and I. Their customer service is better than most 5 star restaurants I've been to. I highly recommend!The food is very good. The environment is tepid, so the food can get chilly after about 20 minutes while you eat. But it's very tasty and the prices reasonable given the sea food boils I've been to. The portions are also generous.Features: They're robust. Masks are optional for guests. All staff wear them.

Great spot for some seafood boil and quenching your seafood craving. First off, they had the most delicious oysters I have ever had. The owner said they are. It on the menu because they are difficult to get but when they are available...run don't walk! My table had various things on the menu including the fried shrimp, crab legs, oyster and Cajun pasta. I ended up adding sausage to my Cajun shrimp pasta to give it a little more depth. Although the sausage was a great addition I did feel the flavor lacked a bit in seasoning , especially for a Cajun dish. Once I added some of the spicy garlic from my cousin's seafood boil bag, it made it more flavorful.The owner provides very attentive and hospitable services, greeting all those in the dining room and interacting with everyone so pleasantly and genuinely. I also love the decor. Modern, hip, eclectic and rustic in one.

I am in LOVE with this place. I've been to other seafood boils around this area but this place definitely takes the crown. The food is great but so is the customer service. They're super attentive. Their menu is broad and have a good variety and their drinks are definitely worth trying. Their alcohol choices are unique and make a good pair to the meal. 100% recommend.
