A pair of women were seen swaying to the music as they enjoyed a massive seafood feast at a family-owned restaurant in Texas before they darted for the door without paying their bill.
The unidentified dine-and-dashers were captured on surveillance footage sitting at the bar inside Tasty Tails, a Louisiana-style seafood restaurant in Dallas, on Sunday around 7.30pm.
The women, one dressed in a cropped black top and jeans, and the other wearing a light brown outfit and a headscarf tied over her hair, were seen singing along to a song and dancing as they sipped on what appeared to be frozen drinks.
A giant seafood boil then arrived as the two of them dug into the meal and sipped on new drinks, still bopping around to the music.
After finishing their shellfish dinner, the woman in the black top appeared to look around the business before taking her belongings and a to-go bag and walking out the front door.
As she did so, she appeared to wave her friend on to do the same, and also tapped another woman at the bar, saying bye as she strolled out.
Just moments later, the lady in brown grabbed her drink, said farewell to the same woman sitting at the bar, and fled, the video showed.
The clip of the customers was then shared by the restaurant on their social media, asking for the public’s help to identify them.

On Tuesday morning, Tasty Tails posted to its Instagram story that the women turned themselves in.
‘They have stepped forward and apologized and paid their tab,’ the mom-and-pop business said. ‘We have taken down the video. Thank you!’
It is unclear exactly how much their bill was and what exactly they ordered.
The Daily Mail contacted Tasty Tails for comment.
The restaurant offers an array of seafood options, including fried fish baskets, gumbos, soup, boiled shrimp, snow crab legs, crawfish, clams, mussels, and lobster tail.
The business is also known for its frozen alcoholic daiquiri cocktails, which appeared to be the drinks the women were enjoying.
According to the eatery’s website, the owners focus on bringing their New Orleans roots to the Dallas-Fort Worth area through ‘delicious family recipes and artfully crafted Cajun dishes.’
In June, a trio of dine-and-dashers were caught smiling smugly as they darted out of a Chicago restaurant without paying for their $200 lunch.

The group was caught on surveillance cameras running off from their outdoor table at Phlavz Bar and Grille in the Windy City on June 16.
The suspects, a man and two women, were seen sitting at the table before the man quickly got up and shuffled away from the restaurant. The women quickly followed him.
A table of two seated near them watched the whole thing unfold, the video showed, as a server came out and approached the now-empty table.
According to co-owner Andrew Bonsu, the thieving diner made off without paying their $200 tab for a shrimp and lobster dinner.
‘It’s actually disappointing, very disappointing to see that from the community we actually serve,’ Bonsu told ABC7. ‘We pour into the community.’
Phlavz co-owner Phil Simpson added: ‘The young lady that was serving that table, she’s got kids at home.
‘She gets a percentage of that tip. She worked hard to serve that table. They had a lot of food.’
