The Hostess was sweet, quickly showed us to our table and gave us menus. Water was brought over quickly and our server (so sorry that I forgot his name) asked if we had an initial questions. I did ask for a few minutes to look over the menu. Our waiter was very attentive, yet he didn't interrupt our meal too much. It's nice having a waiter that has down the perfect balance of helpful, yet lets you enjoy your meal We started our dinner with off with drinks The Pain Killer is so yummy with the perfect balance o dark rum and fruit flavors!! The kind of drink that goes down super easy. The Captain's Mai Tai was tasty with both light and dark rum, fruit juices abs simple syrup. I got the Rainbow Trout meal and let me tell you, it's wonderful, crunchy, and moist!! I couldn't get enough of this large meal!! It came with scalloped potatoes and freshly cooked green beans. This was my first time trying rainbow trout and now my expectations are high!! My boyfriend ordered the blacked swordfish on a bed of rice. So good, so fresh and juicy. The bed of rice was very flavorful. Not pictured was the Java Mud Pie, which we took home and enjoyed. The flavor was very Java with the perfect balance of ice cream, chocolate, and caramel. We couldn't get enough. Highly recommend!! 10/10

My family and I have been coming here for years, today we went to celebrate my sister's graduation,…read morethis is her favorite restaurant. Their house blend is the best sauce I've ever had, that alone is what keeps us coming back, I believe it is a Viet style Cajun sauce. We usually get the build your own combo, with crawfish, snow crab, and a few appetizers like french fries, garlic noodles, and onion rings. I believe they have changed management recently, or in the past few years. Although the sauce remains delicious, the food quality seems to be falling, and I see that they have a few food safety violations listed on their Yelp. The garlic noodles were swimming in the watery sauce, and the Cajun fries were not tossed, just sprinkled on top. The restaurant has never been that busy when we go, and there is usually is only one server doing all the hosting, food running, and waitressing. Ours seemed to be a little stressed today, and did not refill our drinks as much as we would've preferred, and forgot things like our salt and pepper. We will probably still keep coming just for that sauce, but looks like the restaurant has a few things to work out to bring back its former glory.

Went to Pier 88 Boiling Seafood & Bar on Mother's Day, so there was a bit of a wait after check-in,…read morebut we were able to hang at the bar and grab drinks while we waited which made it way more manageable. The waitress was attentive the whole time, bathrooms were clean, and I really appreciated how mindful the staff was with my deaf friend. That always stands out to me. The calamari was okay. I liked it, but my friend said she's definitely had better. I also had to ask for lemon with the calamari. Last time I came with a friend they were completely out of lemons, so I was glad that wasn't an issue this time. I'd probably try something different instead of the calamari next visit though. We got the Pier 88 combo crab boil with the "All of the Above" seasoning in mild. It came out super quick and was very well seasoned. I personally thought it leaned a little salty, but I also saw other tables adding extra salt to their food, so I guess it just depends on your taste. Portions were good and everything tasted delicious. Very kid-friendly spot, pretty loud and lively inside, and honestly a great place for hosting bigger groups, family get-togethers, or even just catching up with a friend over drinks and seafood. I've been here before and would definitely come back again.

We were really excited to try Pier 88 Boiling Crab, especially since I love seafood and the Yelp…read morereviews made it seem promising. Unfortunately, it was a major letdown. We started with the clam chowder, which was extremely watered down and completely lacking in flavor. It tasted more like soup that had been diluted than a proper chowder. We also ordered shrimp with the Pier 88 seasoning, but the spices were barely noticeable--there was almost no seasoning at all, which is pretty disappointing for a place that markets itself around bold flavors. The service was just okay--nothing terrible, but nothing that made up for the food. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype, and we won't be returning.

We honestly didn't have to wait a long time at all for the food to come out. Everything tasted amazing and I like all the different sides you can choose from. We didn't order any appetizers but the tables next to us really seemed to order all the fried options! Our drinks were refreshing as well. I really appreciated that they give you tools to break up the crab especially the scissors that are actually sharp and work! Restaurant is very organized and they even have a communal sink to wash your hands from the mess if you don't wanna go into the bathroom to wash which is very convenient. 10/10 would come again (:

Incredible Food & Outstanding Service!…read more ​We had a fantastic dining experience at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen! The ambiance was incredibly inviting, featuring a large, open dining room and a beautiful full bar that immediately set the perfect tone for the evening. It is absolutely the kind of place I would love to revisit. ​The Service: Our server, Jackie, was phenomenal! Even though her section was packed and very busy, she was highly attentive to our needs and checked on us regularly. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and went above and beyond by suggesting interchangeable options to perfectly match our specific preferences. Outstanding service like hers really elevates the whole meal. ​The Food: Almost everything we ordered was excellent! With the minor exception of the gumbo, which just didn't quite hit the mark for our personal taste. Other than that, every single dish was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. ​We will definitely be back!

Anytime I come to Arizona, I make sure to carve out time for dinner at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen…read more It has easily become one of my favorite spots. Today was especially meaningful for my family as we celebrated my mother's 3-year anniversary of receiving her kidney transplant at the Mayo Clinic. From the moment we sat down, our waiter, Leandrew, welcomed us with such a warm and inviting smile. He immediately began offering recommendations and was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. To say he knew the dishes well would be an understatement -- he could explain every ingredient in detail for anything we asked about. We always start with the Lump Crab & Spinach Dip with crostinis, and as always, it was absolutely to die for. For our entrées, we each ordered the salmon topped with shrimp and lump crab meat, finished with a rich butter sauce and mashed potato purée. Despite how busy the restaurant was, everything came out quickly and tasted absolutely magical. While the food was phenomenal, the service is truly what made this experience unforgettable. Leandrew went above and beyond, and I genuinely hope he receives the recognition he deserves. We'll absolutely be back again. Until next time!

If that is what you're looking for you might find yourself to be a little disappointed. This is not that kind of a joint. (no waiters, no waitresses, no tableside service, but no high prices and ridiculous exorbitant tipping expectations either). At first using the GPS, this place was hard to find until I realize we are not looking for a sit down restaurant...it's a drive up and drive-through restaurant, it's basically made for takeout dining exclusively! Don't let that fool you though because the food at this place slaps! Lol! We had a lobster roll, a Mexican salad (served on a large flour tortilla, as a burrito!) as well as the flatbread and chicken quesadillas. They were all excellent (if you're from the East Coast, you might be disappointed by the lobster roll because it's a local interpretation of what a lobster roll would be like ) and they are among our favorite things to pick up when we want to grab food and take it back home.. The prices are very affordable! In a time when you can't touch a meal for less than somewhere between 15 and $20 this place you can feed your whole family for that even their drinks are inexpensive. They actually have a lot of locations sprinkled throughout the greater phoenix area. my experience is that some locations are a little better than others in terms of customer service and efficiency but generally speaking I like the price and I like the food no matter which location I go to but invariably some are better than others.

The lobster ravioli tasted especially fresh and comforting without feeling too heavy. Our server Joel made the experience even better!
