Dan's Seafood & Chicken Restaurant #2

I was really craving snow crab legs when a Google search led me to Dan's. Also, is conveniently close by my neighborhood. The biggest draw to the place may have been the prices. I overlooked several other seafood restaurants because they're much higher prices. We can forego the argument of "you get what you pay for." I am landlocked in north Texas. All of the seafood restaurants here are getting their food frozen from a different part of the country. I digress, however. The crabs legs were very delicious, if not, then a little salty. At first glance, I was disappointed in the portions. The pic in their website seemed to offer more. By the time I finished my plate, however, I was content. Not full, but satisfied. The food was seasoned well, aside from the aforementioned slight saltiness, and could be tasted although out the crab. Whatever they boil the food in taste great, as well. It has a heavy garlic taste, which I have come to expect in a crab boil, and even crave. Along with the crab plate, you are given a half cob of corn and a red potatoe. I felt a little cheated here and felt they could have given two of each, at least. The red potatoes are (I bought 2 crab plates and a crab/shrimp combo plate) were all on the small side. I know they typically are "small potatoes," but in both of my plates, they were especially small. Noticeably small. I tasted the shrimp and it's fine. Bare in mind, I am not particularly fond of shrimp, so pardon my "to the point" view of Dan's shrimp. I also bought their chicken fried rice. (my kid is not a fan of seafood...yet.) That was pretty good, too. Better than a lot of other places of similar food. With that said, it is fried rice in the loosest of terms. There was rice, some corn kernels, and chicken in it. So, it's barely fried rice, but it was tasty. My main reason for rating Dan's 4-stars isn't related to their food. It was how long I had to wait for my order. Oh no! An entitled Patron. Their website allows you to order online, which is exactly what I needed. I wanted to order the food as a left work and have it ready for pickup 45 minutes later. After you made you order, the site had you wait for the the restaurant to acknowledge the order. They did not. I had to wait for about 5 minute for it to tell me that no one responded. So, I am it tried again. Again, no one responded. That could have turned me off on the restaurant, but as I stated earlier, I really wanted crab. So, I called I called Dan's and made my order. I was told that it would be ready in 10 minutes. I let them know that to would take me 45 minutes to get there. And 45 later when I got there, I thought my food would be ready. It was not. I ended up waiting 25 after I paid to get my food. They clearly had not prepared it in advance for me. And that, rubbed me the wrong way. I do plan to visit them again and if the service is better, I may increase the rating. That said, I do recommend Dan's Seafood & Chicken.

Went here on a last minute food choice. The food was so good. Better then I expected. The tender meal was my Sons. The chicken was perfect, fries needed salt. But weren’t bad. The shrimp boil was wayyyy better then expected, very flavorful and shrimp was fresh and good. Potatoes were awesome and corn too.
