Met some long time friends we haven't seen years at Pier 18 for lunch , flew in from California here for few days WOW what a dining experience. Extensive Cajun menu. Friendly helpful staff, roomy sea worthy dining I ordered the recommended scrimp combo in mild sauce potatoes sausage it all comes together in a plastic bag. Your provided a 12" metal pan, gloves a bib and lot of napkins that you'll need. You dump everything from your bag into your pan and go to work. The sauce is special, full of flavors spices and some heat it's really outstanding. I had sweet tea for the first time it was addicting. Pier 18 staff was very accommodating we were there 4 hours lots of laughs The girls ordered scrimp, chicken and vegetable bowls that were very generous they couldn't finish. The menu covers everything crab, lobster, oysters, calamari, shrimp, fish, chicken wings &, beef. Pier 18 is a destination check them out. read more

Came here again because I had such a great first experience, but tonight was rather lacking and disappointing. I know it's busier and Friday night but geez, the table we sat at or the chairs we sat on were dirty like covered in some kind of sauce. It got on my jacket and my girlfriend's clothes, no sincere apology they just switched a chair but didn't look like they cleaned it. Had to wait until the end of dinner for part of our order even if we politely asked 3 different workers if we're going to get the rest of our food. This is after 3 other tables got all of their food before we did and were seated after us. Guess if we ever come back here we need to be early or just lunch time. Also, don't get the hibachi beef, it's mostly stir fried vegetables on top of rice with some tossed salad on half the plate. Doesn't taste that good either, but the fried calamari was delicious and served with fries. The gumbo soup was ok but I think I'll just stick with the seafood boil or fried appetizers. They do open up the back dining area when it's busy. read more

Liz was a outstanding server! We had crawfish and all the sides and fried shrimp and ff. Drinks were also great! We will definitely be back! read more

I love coming to Pier 18. I always get the combo 2, Cajun, little bit of spice. I have a high spice tolerance and this is spicy for me. I love you get crab and shrimp! The roux might be my favorite part. I either get a side or fries or garlic bread to dip in the extra roux. I always get it Togo so I can go home and get messy. read more

Came here since it used to be called Bag O Crab, and have been a regular customer since! I love the service, the food and the restaurant atmosphere. We will continue to come back! We always order the combos and share them. The signature sauces are veryyy buttery and lots of garlic, if you like that! (My favorite) read more

Don't know what these high reviews were based on. Maybe we ordered wrong. Gave it 2 stars mostly for location. Ordered clam chowder as appetizer, it came with meal. Absolutely no flavor. Don't know how they could have intentionally got it like that. Can of Progresso would be huge upgrade. The fish-forget thinking flaky..1/8" filet of something, heavily breaded, soaked in oil. $1 upgrade of salad over fries was huge chunks of yellow of iceberg. Fried shrimp was just unfrozen with a full slice of breading on each. The combo bags looked better, but mediocre, however, full priced, maybe more. Save your money. Truly LJS is an upgrade. The gimmicky robot is conversation starter, but was dirty and didn't contribute to efficiency in any manner. read more

I met a friend here for a weekday lunch and was pleasantly surprised. They have a weekday lunch menu with decent prices. There is also a full bar. I opted for an oyster poboy with a side of fries and a martini (don't recall if was a lycee or lemon martini). Both were good! The oysters were a good size and fried perfectly. It was a good poboy. The fries were also prepared well. My martini was strong and well balanced. My friend got the shrimp and broccoli special and an espresso martini. Service was good and the restaurant was clean. It was pretty quiet for lunch time, but that may be because folks don't know they have a specially priced lunch menu. To me, their dinner prices are a bit high -- but everything is high these days. There is plenty of parking and lots of seating inside. I haven't tried anything else here, but I'd be willing to do so. One point was lost due to the high regular prices. See you there! read more

Been here three times and very satisfied every tine. The first time, i got the king crab with the atomic sauce medium spicy. It was good but i prefer the garlic sauce still medium spicy. The second and third time I got snow crab which is still good and better priced than the king crab. The garlic pasta is good. I've also had the garlic fries and Cajun fries, I like the Cajun fries which is more tasty. The service is good, the third time we went there was a little bit of a delay but the server made sure to inform us when the food would be ready. Ambiance is pretty good too, not loud and you can hold a conversation without any problems. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday. Very nice relaxed atmosphere. The waitress was very nice and friendly. We ordered a combo with dungeness, shrimp, potatoes, corn and sausage. Added garlic bread and garlic noodles. They have a robot waiter deliver the food which my son loved. The food was good. It did lack a bit of salt but we enjoyed it very much. read more

One of THE best crab boils I've had! I normally get Combo #2 with Louisiana Flavor mild, sometimes medium. OMG, delicious. I can eat twice off this one bag. I've eaten here 3 times. Each time it was a call in order. Upon picking up my order, service was great, the music is great, and the restaurant looked clean. Will definitely be going back! read more

Really cool spot. They have robots rolling around to help deliver the food but most of the time they just get in the way. It ran into one of the servers with a drink in her hand and spilled the drink then it ran into our server as well. The food tasted good. A lot of flavor. It was not lacking flavor. We ordered the garlic flavor seasoning. It was Friday night and it was a good amount of people there. The server was a bit flustered but she was able to hold it together. She was nice. The food doesn't take very long. Our wait was about 20-25 minutes. We had like the combo #2 snow crab legs. The experience wasn't bad. I would recommend it. read more

Been here many many times and never disappoints! Food is 10/10. The crab legs are amazing! I told my coworker about this place and he thought I was hyping it up.. said no place in Texas is as good as his Maryland crabs... well, he finally tried it and said it was amazing! The staff is always friendly. We are always in and out in less than hour! Met a friendly couple that said they drive 40 minutes weekly because of how obsessed they are! That says a lot! read more

Great prices in comparison to other places we've been. 3 liters of Dos Equis for $28 We enjoyed the crab legs, oysters, garlic noodles, sausage and corn. We are obsessed!

After a refreshing hike along Eagle Lake Trail, I headed to a new spot I'd heard about for some boiled goodness. I wasn't let down--the food was just as tasty as my favorite joint in Plano, The Boiling Crab. And the best part? I don't have to make the trek to Plano anymore for top-notch grub, drinks, and a cool vibe at fair prices. I'd recommend bringing your crew along to try a bunch of different seafood dishes--they won't be disappointed! Overall, it was a satisfying experience that exceeded my expectations. From the flavorful shrimp to the delicious sauces, every bite was a delight. Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking for a great meal after a hike, this place is worth checking out. Great service with autonomous robot that brings the food out. read more

Food: I loved the seafood here. It was live and fresh, and cooked correctly. I had the clams, crawfish, and crab legs! All good! Depending on what kind of seasoning u get some are better than others, I really enjoyed the original Cajun in medium. The oysters were super fresh! Service: the service could have been better, but just like any place that newly opened they're still learning and trying to adjust. They were very attentive! What I loved most was that they had individual disposal gloves in little packages! What a neat idea, and they had a really cute insulated to go bag! Ambience: it's a cute place! I love the decorations and the seating is cool, and they have the little robot kitties that serve your food . I will be back for sure! read more

I know they recently opened so this is why they're getting 4 stars and not 3. Hope they iron some things out. First, the wait times for the staff were longer than you would think is appropriate but I will chalk that up to it being new. I think the robot is obnoxious and does not add value at all. Most of the time it appears to waste the wait staff's time than actually being useful. Having someone walk slowly behind the robot to deliver one side of rice seems...ridiculous. Especially when paired with the fact that we already were waiting longer than normal for stuff. Second, the flavor was lacking on even the fries. A little salt would go a long way for the fries. The seafood combos were appropriately priced for the market and I felt like they actually weighed their seafood (getting just one cluster of crab per pound vs a cluster and some extra legs). However, their flavors fell really off the mark for me. Not enough garlic and umami flavor and just spicy. I will likely give them another shot in some time since they are super close to me but I won't be rushing back anytime soon. read more

The food was good but the bathroom was not working at the time and had a foul smell coming from it into the restaurant. My child had to go to another store near by to use the restroom. If they wanted to stay open with a broken restroom they should tell people before they get the food since we might want to use it. read more

We get all the seasonings and scrape them from the bowl, FULL FLAVOR. The heat level isn't a joke either, so I have to stick with the medium at most. Can't beat the price of combo #4 read more

I'm Cajun. This establishment claims to be Cajun. You can't fool me. There is nothing Cajun about this restaurant. Ordered the shrimp poboy. The shrimp were fried in a batter so thick and hard I had to remove the batter to eat them. I bet they were frozen. Have novelty robot that delivers food. And a fiery mist for ambience. read more

This brand new place is still under its soft opening, but no way you could tell. Being that this establishment previously was a Mexican restaurant, the outside wasn't remodeled but the inside looks fantastic! You step inside and it feels as if you stepped on a cruise boat! It was a little intimidating seeing so many people waiting outside to be seated, but we waited about thirty minutes. Once seated, Beyonca was our server. She was enthusiastic with a big smile on her face. She was on point, had her notes and definitely double checked to make sure everything was going well at our table. The hubs and I LOVE a great crab boil and that is exactly what we received. We ordered combo 2 which consists of 1lb of snow crab, 1lb of head on shrimp, with potatoes, corn and sausage in the atomic sauce (Cajun, garlic, and lemon pepper) medium and my father in law got the same but in mild. Now, we asked the server how spicy medium was since every place is different and medium was actually a little too spicy for us. Next time, we will just stick with mild. If you are like us and prefer a little more liquid within your boil the owner recommended the Louisiana style next time. We liked what we ordered, but we like more sauce than chunks. We also tried out some other items on the menu such as their wings and fried rice. The wings were on point with great seasoning of lemon pepper and the fried rice was okay. Lots of chunks of onion which for my taste was a little too much. The coolest things I liked about this restaurant was the cat robot that brought out the food, the fire looking walls in between the seating, and the bar area with lively decor. I will certainly return to this location and I know it will be a successful restaurant. read more

If you're a seafood lover living in North Fort Worth, we now have another reason to rejoice! When an establishment gets the Cajun/ Louisiana style boil right they get a five star review from this Creole girl Add whatever protein you'd like: Crawfish, Crab, Shrimp, Mussels, etc! Pro Tip: Always add an extra side corn and potatoes, instead of complaining that there wasn't enough- that's not what the boil is focused on. Also tons of cute perks: Food-service Robot, "Fire" wall accents, Beer Towers, Fun Decor! Crab O' Bag is definitely added into the restaurant rotation, now. read more

The good was so good! My friend and I shared the combo#2 Cajun medium and the flavor was on point! Our server was super helpful in suggesting that combo to us. We also ordered Cajun fries which were very crispy and fresh. The inside is decorated really nice and such a cool vibe. If you like seafood this is a definite must try! read more

We visited last night and it's really nice in the inside. When we arrived (maybe 7pm?), we were told it was a 40-minute wait and provided a buzzer. However, it was only about 10 minutes that we waited. I will give them a ton of credit, they turn tables immediately! As soon as someone is finished, they quickly clean and seat the next guest, which was great because they were busy. Our server was Trenton. He was really nice and attentive even though he had a lot of tables that he waited on. My only critique of the food is 1) our appetizers came out at the same time as our entrée 2) we ordered the combos and the sauce was super greasy. I like my sauce to be extra and thick, but this one was greasy. Other than that, it was a good experience. My husband ordered wings and they came out hot and fresh. read more

The crawfish special was 3lbs for $33.xx. Most of the crawfish were dead before cooking. The seasoning was a paste covering the crawfish but did not provide flavor. The service is slow after food arrives. The price was expensive for what it was. The sausage was nonexistent. They don't have mustard or regular ketchup to make a proper dip. The mayo was fine. My Cajun craving is unsatisfied. Crawfish on the bayou is better!! read more

We went during their soft opening, but they didn't have a Yelp so I couldn't post my review at that time. There was a 30 minute wait on a Saturday which isn't unusual for a decent restaurant, but new for Saginaw We started with garlic noodles that were very highly recommended on reviews I read. Hubby got a Combo 1 which was 1 lb of crawfish, 1 lb of shrimp plus corn, sausage and potatoes. He got mild so we could all try but said he would go spicier next time. The looks on the kids' faces were priceless My son got the fried calamari basket which he loved! My daughter got shrimp fried rice and she liked it a lot. I thought it lacked flavor so I wouldn't recommend. I got the Shrimp Po Boy which was very good! Overall, great restaurant, fun atmosphere (robot waiters!!) and good food! 4/5 read more

It really does come in a bag. You are getting a literal bag of crab. The actual bag is reusable and nice. The shrimp was tender, the crawfish meat was also tender. The garlic sauce was flavorful without being too salty. The corn stole the show. read more

Service was great. Still in a soft open and they did really well. I had the shrimp po boy (shrimp were large) wasn't in the mood for a bag so this is my go to. I was sad they didn't have fried oysters cause they had run out. Again it's a soft open so no biggie I'll get it next time. So happy this is now an option for us locals. Garlic fries could use a little more garlic all over, but over all I was happy. read more
