Such amazing food and service. They are always so sweet and never rush you to make any choices. They seem a bit understaffed but the environment but it's never an issue when you have a good server.

Our first visit & we will definitely be back. Everything was great. It is messy but delicious.

King and Snow Crab King. $60. About 10 bucks per bite. Snow. $35

Super small Snow Crab. End parts were useless. 60 dollar king crab was good but some hollow pieces. Came out to 10 bucks per bite. Some did not pull good. Catfish 7/10 good Hushpuppies 10/10. I should have just gotten those. Real clean restaurant. Bathrooms could use some updating. Waiter was amazing. Service was great. Ambiance was a smidge plain. More like a hamburger joint

Great dining experience! The food was wonderful! The wait staff were very polite and attentive! The adult beverages were amazing (my "Moscow Mule" was on point)! Food was reasonably priced. Enjoyed the ambiance of the inside of the restaurant. However, the restaurant is located in a more "depressed" shopping center (not the best). Meal and service made up for the external environment.

Adilene B.

So so good and affordable. We ordered the king crab, shrimp, mussels, and got a mixed combination in the seasoning. Our waiter was very attentive and made sure we were happy with our food. He made jokes and helped us make our selection! I wish I would've gotten his name but I forgot to ask. We got a mango cheesecake for dessert and it was the best!

I confess....I couldn't wait to go to Dancing Crab again for dinner and thats NOT a JOKE! The first dinner here was so good and memorable I was only concerned that our second visit wouldn't be as good.. that our first time there was unusually good and not the norm Well, tonight's visit , our second, was just as good as our first 2 full boils, mussles tender and juicy..shrimp tender , crab legs - what do I need to say :) Food and service great again. Already planning my next visit!

Oh man! Hands down some of the best crayfish in Oklahoma! You get to choose your seasoning and spice level, we usually get the "juicy" with a level 1(because I'm a wuss)!

Food okay, nothing great and we were force to have a force tip. The Cajun fries barely have flavoring and the molten cake didn't have ice cream on it when it was advertised on their menu. Some of the crawfish were dead before they were cooked so it wasn't safe to eat. So we're getting charge a lot for our food even though some weren't safe to eat. Honestly we're never going back there. read more

Ordered the crab boil. Crab comes in a cook bag like a turkey, with a small potato and corn cob. It was good and probably an adequate portion for a grown adult. The restaurant is much larger than it appears from outside and is located in an obscure location. I personally believe if the bathroom is clean then that is a clue to overall cleanliness, it was clean. Our server was nice and the food came quickly. Other than feeling like this place is used to quick table turnover and tries to herd people in and out quickly. Even though only one other party showed up in the short time we were there. I would go back. read more

I am soooooo happy to have an amazing seafood restaurant just down the street from my house. Not even open a week and the food was perfect. I had the Thursday Special with 1/2 lb snow crab and 1 lb shrimp made hot spicy with garlic butter. Amazing!! I could for sure taste the spice and I love it.. they are not messing around. For an appetizer, I had the calamari, light and tasty without being greasy. My perfect combo. I will for sure make this my weekly cheat meal 100%. ....straight from a chef's mouth read more

I want to start off and say I never write negative reviews. We went here for the first time Sunday afternoon. Once we were greeted and sat down, we had to wait 5-8 mins for our sever to come back. Mind you, there were only 6 other tables in the restaurant, it wasn't very busy. They had alcoholic beverages on their menu, but said they didn't have any alcohol. Then I asked for a dr.pepper also listed on their menu and they said they only had Pepsi products... We finally got our food and it wasn't good at all. My mom got the shrimp basket. Shrimp was undercook and had no favor. I got the fried oyster basket. It didn't have any favor. No sauces were offered with it. Server didn't come back and check on us, we had to ask for the check after being done for 10mins. I only tipped 18% because at the end of the day we all need to feed our families. I wouldn't be back and wouldn't recommend to anyone. read more

I could smell it every day, and I don't drink. I had the American wagyu ribeye steak, a hybrid of wagyu and black angus. This was one of the specials with the other being the Japanese Wagyu for $30 per oz, which I had the last time at the OKC location. The steak was cooked perfectly, medium rare, with a pink red interior. The meat was moist and tender. The only thing I didn't like about this cut was the large piece of fat in the steak, instead of being evenly distributed in the meat. I would recommend to either get the Japanese Wagyu or the regular ribeye because of the "unequal" distribution of fats. I got a free crème brûlée for my birthday. This has always been my favorite dessert on their menu. I also got my go-to appetizer and sides: rock shrimps, asparagus, and sautéed mushrooms.

Maybe some cashier didn't make them feel so special, as the customer took 30 minutes to make up their mind and order. Who knows...but this place is a 5+ star place. The meats and sides here are fantastic. They are cooked right and plenty of moisture in the meats. The smaller extrude fresh cut fries are killer. Okra is great. 5+ stars this place is.

Decided to check it out and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. I picked up a 3 meat platter plate that consisted of ham, brisket, and pulled pork. Got a few sides like coleslaw, potato salad and Mac and cheese. Also order a slice of pecan pie. The pecan pie was the best thing I ate my enter trip to Oklahoma lol. The ham was incredible, smoked and full of flavor. A 10/10. The pulled pork was also incredible, moist and flavorful a 9/10. The brisket was very good, tender and smoked and a 8 out of 10. The sides were good, Mac and cheese was my favorite forsure. Overall this place did not dissapoint. Make sure to check them out if you are in the OKC area as there is multiple locations. Thanks Vans pig stand for the great food and hospitality!

Fusion Cafe: Wing It

One of my go-tos for Korean fried chicken! I stopped in recently and a wave of nostalgia hit me…read more This is a small mom-and-pop restaurant that makes everything to order. With that being said, the service is a bit slow so do plan on a wait if you are stopping by. Our go to order is the soy garlic wings, the tofu soup, and some rice! The soy garlic wings are crispy and soo good, but at our last visit, I did notice that the wings are a lot smaller than they used to be. The tofu soup is still as delicious as I remember, and we also tried the potato soup which I was pleasantly surprised by! We also tried to the bibimbap for the first time, and it was also very flavorful. My only note for the food here, is that they are a bit stingy on the quantity for the price. I found the portion of our bibimbap sauce to be very little, and they charge extra for more banchan versus the usual free refill in a Korean restaurant. I still love coming, and the staff is sweet

From the moment I walked into the Dancing Crab, I knew I was in for a treat. The ambiance struck the perfect balance between elegant and cozy, setting the stage for a remarkable dining experience. Andre's service was the highlight of the evening; attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, he made us feel like VIPs. As for the food, every dish was a hit - bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and presented with care. Can't wait to return! read more

The staff was nice and it wasn't a long wait for the food on a Sunday. Its spacious and clean, tasteful in decor that the outside belies. I absolutely adored the food. The spice wasn't overwhelming and it was all incredibly well cooked. Not only was it delicious but it was FUN. I think this is the type of place kids would love, or just anyone who enjoys tactile meals. Will absolutely come back for a second round. read more

My wife Becky and I ate at Crab & Catfish in Norman and had a great experience…read more I ordered the large boil, and it was loaded -- two large crab legs, lots of shrimp, a large andouille sausage, corn, and potatoes. We had already eaten most of the crab before I took a photo, and I still had enough shrimp and potatoes left to bring some home. At $40, I thought it was an excellent value. The garlic Cajun butter was absolutely delicious, and the hush puppies were a fantastic start to the meal.

Trapper's Fish Camp - A Return Worth the Wait (4)…read more Our group of six chose Trapper's Fish Camp for our monthly dinner outing, and I'll admit--it had been well over 20 years since my last visit. After this experience, I can confidently say that was about 20 years too long. I had forgotten just how well the food is prepared here. I opted for the Crab Cake Sliders since I wasn't overly hungry, and they turned out to be the perfect choice. Great flavor, nicely portioned, and satisfying without being too heavy. I paired them with potato salad and coleslaw--both were solid sides that complemented the meal well. My wife went with the Fried Clams & Fries and was very pleased with her selection. Always a good sign when both meals hit the mark. The only downside was the noise level--it can get a bit loud--but with a full house, that's somewhat expected. Overall, a very enjoyable return visit. It won't take me another 20 years to come back.

We were really disappointed with our experience at Mariscos El General. The food itself was good,…read morebut the service was extremely poor from start to finish. This dinner was for my boyfriend's mom's birthday and we all left with a sour feeling. First, our waitress denied glasses of water. She said we could only get bottles of water. Our waitress then took a very long time to bring out our food, and she brought only half of our table's meals while the rest of us had to wait. She also brought the wrong refill drink, and we had to ask twice before we finally received the tostadas we requested. My meal was supposed to come with beans, but they were completely forgotten (image below of my bean less meal). We told her we didn't want mayonnaise when she asked and she still brought it. At the end of the meal, we asked for the check, but instead of bringing it, our waitress walked by our table multiple times without acknowledging us or bringing the bill. Overall, the service was slow, disorganized, and inattentive. The manager seemed like he couldn't care less about our bad experience and just said they would try to improve their service. Unfortunately, it took away from what could have been a good dining experience.

I've been meaning to come in for the Lunch Buffet and today I finally did so. $14.99 plus whatever…read moreyou buy as a drink is a bargain for the quality of food and flavor here. The service was good also. I was seated right away and it wasn't too busy , but after a few minutes more families and couples showed up. The hours for the buffet is 11am to 2pm. I got here around 12:30. They start you out with a small cup of a noodle soup with corn in it and kind of taste like chicken soup , not bad. Chips and Salsa. The salsa was not spicy at all , kind of bland. I could've asked for a hotter one , but I was here for the buffet , not chips and salsa right. I ordered a Sweet Tea and it was just right , not too sweet , not under sweet or watered down. My first plate I got Chori Pollo which is a Chicken Breast topped with Chorizo and a Cheese Sauce. Very good and I'm usually not a fan of chorizo. Chicken Enchilada with white sauce. The tortilla didn't taste like store bought it tasted freshly homemade , very good. Refried Beans and Rice were average , but went well with lunch. Chicken Wing was hot , fresh , and good. A couple pieces of Chicken Fajita meat to try , was seasoned good. A piece of Beef Fajita in like a red sauce was also good. Second plate I got another small piece of Chori Pollo , Rice and Beans , Chili Verde , a Chicken Taquito , and a small piece of Flan. The Chili Verde was pork and was so tender it just pulled apart with a fork , but it was a little too salty for me. The flavor was very tasty though. I usually don't like Flan , but this one had a Choco like taste to it and I liked it. The chicken taquito was okay. All in all I will be back and will bring my son and his wife to give the lunch buffet a try. I would like to try a drink also , so I will make them drive. Ha ha. They also do a Military Discount. I will definitely recommend this others and I also posted a short video on social media of the buffet.

Sweet and salty Mo' Bettahs does not skimp on flavor…read more I tried the Kaula pig, steak, spam musabi, rice, and a tossed salad. The Kaula pig was by far my favorite. It is tender, flavorful, and pairs well with the Teri sauce. The steak is flavorful but very chewy, which isn't my vibe, and I did subtract a star for this. Especially since the steak has an upcharge. The spam musabi is very flavorful and salty and has a pleasant texture. The rice really helps balance the salty spam. Overall, it's a nice snack item. The tossed salad was fresh with plenty of carrotts and a couple of tomatoes. For a fast food side salad, I'm pleased. Dressing was also good. The rice was good. I enjoyed it with the sauce on top. For the price, you get a lot of protein, and this is a protein heavy place. Meat is the star of the show, and the Teri sauce is the co-star. Additionally, the atmosphere was nice. Music was a little loud, but inside had a good layout that made it easy to order, pick up, eat, grab drinks, dispose of trash, etc, without disrupting other customers. Overall good place.
