Don Camaron Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Virginia

We decided to give this place a try this evening, and wish we hadn't. We paid $65 for paradilla for 2, 2 crab cakes, and an order of the stuffed mushrooms. The paradilla was extremely bland. There wasn't even salt on it, much less any other seasoning. There were no tomatoes or peppers in the dish and very few onions. We received 1 tin of rice and beans, and the rice was white steamed rice. In every other restaurant we have been to that offers this dish, there are tomatoes, peppers, and onions and the entire dish is seasoned well. Other restaurants also give a tin of beans, yellow rice, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, and pico de gallo to each person, as it is a dish for 2 people. The four "tortillas" that we were given were the size of street tacos, traditionally they are larger. The crab cakes were a bit small to be $5.50 a piece, but they too, were bland. The only thing that had any flavor were the stuffed mushrooms. I really wish the food was better, as the employees seemed very friendly. We will not be returning as it was a very costly meal that was only...

Ordered a fried pick any 3 platter with 2 slices of cake for a to go order. The chicken, fries, and the hush puppies were the only items with taste. Let me make this clear. This is not a restaurant that makes fresh food, but a bar that serves microwaved frozen food to drunk people obviously based on the glowing reviews. After popping the 1 piece of cod you get, and baby shrimp with the texture of mashed Potatoes into the air fryer to crisp them up I was further disappointed with Don Camaron. Both items tasted very fishy with no depth or wow factor to the flavor at all. Maybe they can at least get dessert right I thought being optimistic, but nope. The oreo cheesecake slice was incredibly much smaller than the Strawberry slice, but none of that mattered because they were both frozen solid. Another testament to how fresh their food is. This seafood place can't even make their own tartar sauce or cocktail sauce. This was a waste of money and fail...

My wife and I were recently out in the Cave Spring area and just did a search for Restaurants… Don Cameron sounded interesting so we gave it a shot…so glad we did! The place is clean, service is excellent but beyond that and most importantly, the food is terrific! I had fried flounder and oysters. The flounder was cooked to perfection…crispy on the outside and nice and flaky inside with no grease or fishy smell…yummy! The oysters were perfect as well…crispy but all you want in fried oysters..salad was fresh and the hush puppies were great. My wife had the Coconut shrimp and loved it as well. Prices were very fair for the portion size. I hear the catfish is great as well but with the flounder being this good I may not get to try it for a while. They have some intriguing south of the border takes on other seafood/fish dishes and I plan to try those as well. If you’re looking for some good food at a family owned restaurant...
