First time trying this crawfish joint. We arrived on opening weekend around 430pm and it was a…read morepacked house! We chose to sit outside, it was a nice evening despite it being a bit chilly. Our waitress approached us in a timely manner and remained attentive throughout our time there. Our food also arrived in a timely manner despite the place being packed to capacity. We had 11 people in our party so we ordered the Family Meal Plan, Crawfish Hookup, Seafood Basket, Gator Bites, And Boudin Eggrolls....Gator bites were uncooked so we had to send them back. The boudin eggrolls were just okay, nothing impressive. I think they should stick to boil food only...the crawfish were kind of small but that can be expected at this time of year. The crawfish were flavorful however the spicy was more like mild. I wish I would have gotten the extra spicy...all of the boiled seafood was pretty good, the seasoning and remoulade sauce were also a great addition. Overall it was a good experience. The main complaint was for the fried gator bites and the boudin egg rolls.

I do not like leaving bad reviews, but this place has earned one. This is the only seafood place…read morein Mont Belvieu close to me, so I really wanted to like it. The fried shrimp & cajun rice is pretty good, never had issues with servers, but the wait time is absolutely ridiculous! I have gone 3 times and each time the wait for the food is longer, which is very disappointing. There have usually been 2 waiters and at most 3-4 other families dining in. Which is why I do not understand why food takes so long. The last time I went I had to cancel my order and leave because it had been well over an hour. I'd seen several reviews with the same "long wait time" complaints & should've listened. I really wanted to love this seafood place but unfortunately, I will not be going back.

On top of that, our waitress broke the law & got my name off of of my receipt... She tried telling lies about me on Facebook(!). I broke my wine glass by setting it down on the table (while angry about the entire episode). Granted, I did have a Vulcan grip on the dang thing. I was pissed(!), but yeah... It surprised even me! That gives them NO RIGHT to try to turn this around on me. They've STILL not made things right with me. The post is still up, and the restaurant has made no attempt to contact me.

My family and I were in Galveston and decided we want to grab lunch before heading back to town. I…read moreremembered the name Pier 6 from two different group of friends so thought I should look it up and see where it was on the map. Luckily, it was somewhat on the way back so we decided to give it a try. Rolling through San Leon made us question if we were going to the right place. It didn't feel lively and definitely was not giving 'Coastal Chic', like how Pier 6 has been described. Upon arrival, it was a totally different vibe and 'Coastal Chic' is a fitting description for the place. We were seated right away and they offered a high chair for our little one. We started out with fresh oysters and a flight of margaritas. If you're an oyster fan, it's worth getting the oysters. Super fresh. The flight presentation was so beautiful. My husband and I had fun trying the different margaritas. The blue one was coconut flavored. It reminded me of a piña colada but with tequila. We were surprised that we liked this one. The pink one was watermelon flavored. We could taste the smokiness of the mezcal in it. This was a nice, not sweet drink. The white one was their classic take on margarita. We thought this one was too sweet for our taste buds. The orange one was mango and I think chamoy. This reminded me of the Mexican candy Lucas - sweet and tangy. All drinks were finished. LOL Now to the main dishes. My husband had the Mahi Mahi and said the fish was fresh and had a good amount of seasoning on it. The risotto and mushroom was a solid pairing with it. He cleared the dish. I had the tomato salad and clam chowder. Their tomato salad was so good. It was light and refreshing. I love that there were dill and capers too. Their clam chowder is definitely different compared to others I've had. The soup was more like a light creamy broth. The clam is served whole. Oyster crackers were also in it vs served on the side. Even though it was different, I didn't mind it and killed everything. Service was as expected for the time of day. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would make the trip to the San Leon area again. A few notes: Pier 6 does have a kids menu and there's changing table in the restroom, along with some diapers. This place is in between Kemah and Galveston. It's about 15 minutes drive from Kemah and 25-30 minutes drive from Galveston.

Well I realize I completely forgot to write a review for Pier 6 when we came to visit in November…read more2025. Pier 6 menu changes from time to time. We had ordered: * Thai salad : 1/5 nothing Thai about this salad and it was terrible. * 2 dozen raw oysters: 4/5 decent good for Nov. * seafood gumbo: 1/5 we had the gumbo here before and it was decent but this time it was not the same and tasted like burnt roux which should never be served. * burger with a gravy sauce: 1/5 The brown sauce was pour around the burger and the burger was placed in the center. The burger bun was soggy and the worst burger we ever had. It was the strangest burger because we couldn't pick it up to eat it since it was soggy from the pour of the brown sauce. This burger was $25+ which was uneatable. The beef patty was unseasoned and dry. Fast forward March 2026, after the last dining experience we almost didn't want to come back. Only reason was for the oysters. We were happy to see the items that we really enjoyed was back on the menu! *Only fried shrimp $24.99: 5/5 comes with coleslaw, stellar jalapeño hush puppies which is the best I've had!, and fries. The shrimp is fresh and good size! Nothing beats a texas gulf shrimp! *Tide to fried $28.99- 4/5 comes with fried tx gulf shrimp, fried oysters, and fried red snapper, Cole slaw, hush puppies, and fries. The fired oysters were so good!!!! Like wow and well seasoned! So fresh! The shrimp is perfect! Red snapper super disappointed because it was super fishy. I do not recommend the fried red snapper. Next time definitely get the only shrimp or only oysters combo and pass on the tide to fried which included the fried snapper. *3 dozen oysters - $14.99 per dozen: 5/5 the oysters in March a plump and juicy! So much better than Nov (early season) oysters. The oysters Unfortunately had shells from shucking the oysters so when eating them I bite into shell and thought I almost cracked a tooth. Quality of the oysters great 5/5. The shucking and handle of the oysters 1/5. No guest should eat shuck raw oysters bite on shell. That's a law suit waiting to happen and I hope this establishment does better because we love their freshness of their oysters. *Ocean water $6 happy hour : 5/5 reminds me of sonic ocean water except spiked lol *Watermelon slush $6 happy hour: 1/5 it was so strong and I felt the smokiness was too much. Love the ocean water more because it hides the alcohol and easy to drink. Service was meh. The place was packed at 5pm on a Friday. Not sure why our entrees and drinks came out before our appetizers which I felt was inappropriate. We had to flag down our waiter a few times for items. He did check in with us once after we got our food and took our first bites. Do I recommend Pier 6? Based on this recent visit I am glad I didn't write them off and yes. The food was great minus the oyster cleanliness. Definitely a favorite place for oysters and the best fried shrimp/oyster plate the area and Galveston even. Only negative is the blasting of the music. It's so loud we can not hear our conversation and will induce you a guarantee headache. It does not matter if you sit inside or outside.. it's the same noise level which is concert loud. The videos killer outside and so beautiful but I feel the blaring of music takes away from the charm of this place. If you are into rowdy loud places this is for you. Other than that, maybe distract one self by ordering happy hour drinks so it helps with the intense loud music.

Our order got lost somehow, so they came back 25 mins later to retake orders. Then they came back again 15 mins after that to tell us they didn't have ribs that day, so one person had to reorder again. When the entrees finally arrived over an hour after we first ordered, they forgot 2 of the side salads. The person who got the ribs had to wait another 25 mins since he changed to a burger. When it came out, it was rare when he ordered medium well. They took it back to remake it, which took another half hour. Two of the steaks were also overcooked from what we requested. The sides were also cold, I'm assuming because they messed up the order and had them sitting there waiting. They apologized and offered us free dessert and were nice about it at least, so that's the only thing stopping me from giving 1 star.
