    To say Pete's is a nostalgic fav of mine would be an understatement. My grandparents loved it, my parents love it, I love it, and my kids now love it! My friends and I used to frequent Pete's for lunch in high school as it was just down the road a bit from Mesa High. It was also our favorite spot after a weekend of shenanigans and sand volleyball. Lots of memories here!! Ok, now that I've walked down memory lane, a few important things to note: They ONLY accept cash. There's an ATM right outside which is nice. There isn't any inside seating, it's all outside under the covered patio and is well equipped with heater lamps during the winter and I'm pretty sure a misting system in the summer. Food wise, I have ALWAYS ordered the same thing: Monster Burger with Cheese, fries and extra Pete's Sauce. Anytime I go with friends or my family, they order various other items and I have never heard a complaint about what they ordered. On a scale of 1 - 10, I can't wait to take my grandkids here one day when I have them :)

    Pete's has always been a staple in my family! It's consistently consistent it's always been the best fried shrimp ever! Shout out PETE

    #1 combo, 4 piece shrimp, 1 piece fish, and fries. Side of onion rings,  and last but not least,  the rice crispy treat (half eaten)

    I've loved Pete's my whole life! My whole family has been coming here for years and years. In my opinion, the one in South Phoenix is the best tasting. Don't ask me why, because I just can't explain it! I've been to almost every location in Arizona. I love that this Mesa location has a drive thru. I typically get the #1 combo, which is a 4 piece shrimp, 1 piece fish, with fries and a 32 ounce drink. The Dr Pepper here hits different, in the best way possible ! The food is just crunchy deliciousness! There is alot of patio room if you want to eat outside. The employees are typically friendly whenever I come. All the food is very reasonably priced. Other great menu items: super burger, burrito, onion rings. I tried the rice crispy treat for the 1st time today, and it was fantastic as well! Pete's forever!

    First time at Pete's, and from what other people have said, it used to be much better a decade ago. What wasn't better a decade ago?! I thought the food was pretty good. Not bad, not great. It's basically a step up from fast food. The red sauce they give you taste like a thick tomato juice, and is rather bland. They have some other sauce that is kind of a tartar sauce and cost extra. It would be better if they just had regular ketchup and tartar sauce. The people working there were very nice. The neighborhood it's in is a little sketchy. Overall decent little place.

    What an incredible gem! This is true ethically, sustainably sourced seafood from a family business…read more You can taste the effort and care in the food, and you can feel the passion when you talk to the employees. I went to the storefront in Good Canyon, AZ and got a full tour of the fish options available. Because they process it by hand right after they catch it, it lasts in the freezer quite a while and still tastes like it was JUST pulled from the sea. In this day and age of things seeming so pricey, this food is worth every penny!

    Purchased July 2025…read more Confession: I would follow Jim and his Northstar Halibut truck pretty much anywhere. (And yes, that includes this morning when I drove all the way across town like a woman on a seafood mission.) This is the kind of business I love to support...small, family-owned, and absolutely passionate about what they do. Jim and his crew catch the fish themselves in Alaska, get it packaged and flown to Arizona, and then somehow manage to bring coastal-level freshness right into the middle of the desert. You'll usually spot him at Uptown Farmer's Market (bring a cooler...you'll want to stock up), but he also shows up roadside now and then like a seafood fairy godfather. And he's delivered larger orders right to my door in the past. Who does that anymore?! Jim does. Favorites? Halibut, cod, red snapper, and the smoked salmon which is basically a religious experience. Oh...and halibut cheeks. Trust me. A total delicacy. Never to be forgotten! The fish is always firm, clean, fresh, and so flavorful it barely needs seasoning. Jim's even been known to share a killer recipe if you're not sure what to make. Tonight? Halibut's on the menu and I might be eating early...because I've been craving it for weeks.

    Could Pier 88 be my new favorite local spot for seafood boil???…read more Yes... yes it is! We ordered three pounds of head-on shrimp. Spice level was medium and went with the 88 Special seasoning (a combination of cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper) - AMAZING flavor!! Perhaps my favorite aspect was that their seasonings were not overly salty - I feel that most other seafood boil restaurants just include way too much salt in their seasonings... but at Pier 88, you can really indulge without feeling like you're going to end up with high blood pressure! Extras included corn, sausage, and potatoes... and those were all delicious as well! I couldn't have been happier with this meal... so I will definitely return again soon!

This place looked like it did a good seafood boil and was located near where our hotel was. Upon entering we were greeted and sat right away. He ordered a shrimp basket while I ordered my usual snow crab. Heads up, all the supplies will be brought in the bottom of the discard bucket like gloves, lemons, and crab crackers. I wasn't aware of this, and placed all the discarded items on top of it while eating bareheaded as I didn't see supplies, and no one was around to ask. Usually places will bring on the side, and I wish I was told that in advance when it was brought to the table. It made for quite the mess, but if we return I'll know for next time. Once our server returned to check in after 10+ minutes that's when we were advised, and I adjusted though I had put my boil bag in there so most had been soiled. As for the food, he liked his shrimp while I thought the crab was okay in flavor/spice. It didn't really standout out like other places I've been to recently, but overall I would return if I was in the area.

Often…read moretimes, I avoid coming due to this parking lot if it's a known busy time like a Friday night. We had our heart set, so we braved the parking lot and the quoted 1-1.5hr wait (actual wait time: 53 minutes). Greatly appreciate the staff member who took drink orders while we waited as a martini eases the time waiting! Plus, they had a hydration station with water that is much needed in our Arizona heat - thank you! Our server Alex was phenomenal and provided great insights with recommendations. We greatly appreciate it as it was both of ours first time visiting this establishment to try the Arizona Restaurant Week specials. For my 1800th review on Yelp, I couldn't think of a more fitting review - Arizona Restaurant Week helping me venture out to try somewhere new (the Yelp way)! Lastly regarding the experience, it was quite loud due to it being busy, so appreciate Alex repeating somethings over. Thanks for the great service to make this a great night out! What We Ordered: ~ Onward and Upward (Non-alcoholic): my boyfriend enjoyed the flavor, but wild to think a NA drink is $15! He said likely not a do over. ~ Dirty Vodka Martini + Blue Cheese-stuffed Olives: the first outside was not as good as the one at the table. I'd definitely buy another when returning, especially dining in as the olives were delicious. ~ Fresh Pull-Apart Dinner Rolls: very delicious, and we enjoyed! Definitely a splurge as the price point was $12 for 5 rolls. I did find myself wishing they were served with a nice French butter or even a honey cinnamon butter, which would elevate these and help me justify the price point. ~ Arizona Restaurant Week which included a starter, entree, and the selected dessert (boyfriend: Oysters + Sushi selection and me: Caesar Salad + blackened Texas Redfish): Both my boyfriend and I throughly enjoyed and thought it was well worth the $55 per guest price point. Standouts for him were the oysters and sushi, stating they were very fresh. My standout was the delicious redfish, and the sushi as I tried some of his. Everything was fresh and flavorful! We left talking about when we can return for their actual menu versus restaurant week. Love finding great local places via Arizona Restaurant Week. If in the area, stop by this location!
