Never say never... I went to Pier 41 again since I had to pick up prescriptions at CVS. My server Katie was pleasant, professional and attentive. I ordered the tuna tartare. It was nothing like what it should have been. The tuna was brown all the way through. I've never seen tuna cooked so much. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this place. I often come for lunch. I often come for dinner. I rarely ever leave. They probably hate me but I don't care. The woman that claims to be the owner is a delight. She says hello every time we come in and sits us promptly while busting her booty making drinks for others that look fruity. None of this is why you're reading this. You want to know about the food. Let's get to it. THE FOOD IS AMAZING. I've had everything on the menu. Twice, at least. I've had the kimchi fries at least a hundred times. I recommend it all. Are you going to pay more than you would at Burger King? Sure. That's why you come here. It's Mount Pleasant. It's seafood. Can you impress your date with Burger King? Maybe. Can you impress your date with Pier 41? EFF YEAH YOU CAN. Dining alone? You'll still be impressed. TL;DR - eat here. Owner seems cool. read more

Service is the only reason im giving this place a star. Lady that took our order did great. Go somewhere else if you want real honest to goodness seafood- don't know what the hype is about with this place. No food quality. Steamed frozen crab legs with no butter on the side?? Steamed oysters - not all were steamed. Small fried tacos are good but for $5 each??? Price is too steep for serving and quality. Ambiance is okay. The place is small - very crowded when we got there. Felt a few butt against my back while I was eating ( yes, thats how small this place is) - defintely not how I wanted to eat dinner. There was a water drip from the ceiling vent and husband got lucky so it dripped on his hair instead of his food. Disappointed read more

Spent $51 with an overly generous tip for a bland fried seafood platter that includes hard, dry day old fries, and then this, with is suppose to be 2 fish tacos and "ceviche." I'm so Hangry right now. I am amazed that you are still in business after serving this low grade school lunch to paying customers. The "ceviche" was a tiny chopped salad with 2 cut up shrimp...gray jalapeños?? And no citrus. After having lunch at a "southeast asian" place that served hard noodles bowls with negative flavor I'm just cooking at home while here in Mount Pleasant, because I'm not used to eating bad food like this. I mean...wow! Either the staff don't care about quality or something else is going 9n here. Y'all really have to evaluate what you're doing cause if your heart isn't in it please stop taking people's hard earned money. We drove 12 hours to get here and 3 out of 4 food experiences have been atrocious. I just don't get it. You should truly be ashamed and embarrassed. I would submit you to 'Restaurant Impossible' but I don't think its worth the effort. Signed, Hangry and Home-cookin While In Mount Pleasant Because Y'all Truly Can't Cook To Save Your Life. read more

Was excited to see another new place open up on 'our' side of town, so we popped down tonight, I believe their second night opened. We decided to order a myriad of menu items to get the feel of the place. We started with cocktails (just OK) and had the Tuna Poke and the Shrimp Avocado toast. Both were good, but I was excited to actually see some Asian pear in the dish description - but couldn't tell in the finished product. Same with the 'pickled shrimp' , on the Avocado Toast, kind a bland finish. Next we had the potstickers which were crisply fried on the bed of some very tasty kimchii. We also ordered the fried flounder taco, the mussels in red curry coconut milk and the Lobster fried rice Mac and Cheese. The fried flounder lay on a flour tortilla and they were the same color, it looked like it missed it's turn in the fryer (however my husband said it was good). The mussels sauce was delicious - would make an excellent soup base. We wanted to love the mac and cheese, but it needed something. It was too blah - but on a cold winter night it would most likely hit the spot, once seasoned a bit more. The waitress was very helpful and the place is very nicely decorated. read more

My wife and walked into Pier 41 and sat at the bar for a happy hour drink and appetizer. There was only 1 other couple there so it was not busy at all. Nobody greeted us and eventually a bartender came over and dropped 2 menus in front of us without saying a word and walked away To continue a conversation with the other couple. Instead of coming back to help us or take our order she greeted another couple that walked in, took their order and gave them drinks while we were looking around for someone to serve us. Another bartender, that was just stacking cups and walking around, looked at us and decided not to help us either. In the end we walked out and went somewhere else. We will not be going back nor recommending this place to anyone. read more

Great little restaurant with excellent sea food. I loved the peel and eat shrimp and my husband enjoyed the steam pot. I highly recommend. Happy hour Mon-Sat from 3:00-6:00pm. read more

The owner is extremely unfriendly, in fact nasty. Food is very mediocre. Plenty of places to get good oysters in Charleston. Will not be back read more

First of all hats off to my server..Brandi who was very pleasant. Immediately sitting down at the table and unwrapping the silverware. The napkins (my wife's and mine) has a disgusting rancid smell. (my 39 years in restaurant sanitation tells me they are washing in the back room with a home type of machine and the grease does not get fully removed....or their linen company is in somebody's house) I sent my napkin back (yes the one with the hole ) and received a SLIGHTLY less potent one as replacement....but still not fresh smelling I ordered the catch of the day ,which bought to me 4-scallops and some noodles for a rip off price of $25. I would gladly have paid $30 or more if the plate was worth it but come on ......4 lousy scallops..get real. The miniature $7 cheese cake tasted great but was not price sized either . Most of the reviews for this place talk about the bar, drinks, how busy it gets and basically BAR MUNCHEES. This is not a white table cloth restaurant. (no extra charge for the smelly napkin with the hole ). Would i eat there again ....HELL NO.....i'll go to a more expensive restaurant where the food is better matched to the price and the value and amount of the portion better matches the price. don't get me wrong i don't mind spending for value... i resent getting ripped off Pier 41..never again read more

This was my first time here, it's a cute little place to enjoy a meal with friends and family. My son had the Mac n cheese lobster and that was so good . They also have a great happy hour special $1 champagne and $1 oysters from 4-7. Great place to grab a bite and good service. read more

I love their dinner menu and their fresh seafood options! I also really like their sister restaurant on41 I love the mix of Asian and American cuisine and all that they have to offer! Their cocktails are amazing as well! Great for a date night or family outings! They're also open for lunch as well! Their sweet tea is also the bomb! read more

I was flying into Charleston from DC on Saturday to visit my folks and to pick up a new car. I had found Pier 41 through Yelp as they had an Happy Hour from 4-6 on Oysters and Champagne. My flight landed early and we went Patriots Point to see the USS Yorktown which was awesome. Anyway, onto Pier 41. My parents and I walked in at 530 and the place was already packed. Renee the manager asked if we had a reservation and unfortunately we did not, but she said I have 3 chairs at the bar, so we took them. In the span of 30 minutes my parents and I threw down 6 dozens oysters and a 1/2 lb. of shrimp. We also had the edamame and pot-stickers which were fantastic. Renee and her staff did a fantastic job. It is a small place so reservations are recommended. The next time I am in Charleston I would definitely like to try the rest of the menu. So onto the rest of the review: Ambiance-5 stars Service-5 stars Food-5 stars (even though it was happy hour) Prices-5 stars And for an added mixer: Coziness-5 stars If you love oysters, good food, a cozy atmosphere and like being treated like a customer and not a number, this is the place to go. Absolutely awesome. Pier 41 is on the top of my list for Charleston. Thanks again Renee for everything.... read more

I'm shocked. I relied on the reviews and this was terrible. Not fresh at all. They must have accounts making Fake reviews. The shrimp couldn't be peeled and was nasty. The clams were disgusting and the crab was something you would get at a Chinese buffet. Don't waste your time if you are accustom to quality food. Terrible! read more

My words exactly... "IM ABOUT TO WRITE A REVIEW THAT'S HOW GOOD THIS PLACE WAS." And I never write reviews. The food, atmosphere, staff; everything was incredible! If you're lucky enough to get here for softie season, their "Softshell Sando" was the best thing I've ever had. Love love love this place, stumbled upon it and can't wait to come back! read more

Yum! Stopped in for a drink and appetizers with a group of friends. We tried the Edamame, Crab dip and Pot stickers. If I didn't have friends with me I would have licked each plate clean. The edamame was prepared with a combination of chili vinaigrette, fried garlic, sesame seeds and sea salt. The crab dip is served with crispy fried wontons. The pot stickers were pork based over a bed of kimchi. I'll be back with more friends before the word gets out and there's a waiting line out the door, it's that good. read more

This is a very small restaurant. The bar is very friendly and clean. The service is exceptional. There was only one waitress and she was amazing. The food is exceptional and prepared perfectly. GREAT PLACE. read more

Ordered chicken fried rice. The rice wasnt cooked and crunchy. Not worth the time or money

We came here around lunch time, and it was such a great find! The interior and music selection were on point. We sat at the bar and found the bartender to be very sweet and friendly. We started with an order of the potstickers which were really tasty. My dining partner ordered the lobster roll, which he felt was on par with ones we'd had up in New Hampshire. I opted for the oyster sampler. They were all super fresh and tasty! If I lived around here, this place would definitely be one of my regular stops. read more

Let me start by saying our waitress/bartender was amazing! These days great customer service is hard to find! My husband and I had dinner here last weekend, It was our first visit to Pier 41, but it won't be our last. We had the calamari and the ceviche for starters, both were excellent! My husband had the seafood platter and I had the shrimp fried rice and it didn't disappoint. Food was great and the service was even better! Looking forward to a return visit! read more

They just be paying for the 5 star reviews because the food was awful. The oysters were slimy and had a strong fishy smell and the waitress rudely told me thats just how oysters are. The shrimp was over cooked and bland, I would have felt like I got more moneys worth if I had just lit a $50 bill on fire than I did after eating here. read more

Another great stop in at Pier 41. A quick snack of pot stickers and oysters (see the pic). Seriously, love this place. read more

Pier 41 - Potstickers, oysters, champagne ... - Seafood Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Not to be mean, but I honestly don't know how anyone could give this place 5 stars, especially if they had the strange concoction they call lobster fried rice mac n cheese. I made better mac n cheese when I was 9 when I experimented with boxed Kraft dinner. There were only 2 small bites of lobster, so I'm not sure what I paid for. It was a Friday night and they were out of Pinot Grigio...in Mount Pleasant?? Not everyone thinks Chardonnay is an even trade. I really hoped there would be a new regular place to go for dinner on the north end, but this was not it. My suggestion... change the menu, keep wines in stock that people drink, and do something with the noise level. read more

Hand down best restaurant! Service was amazing just like the food! I wish I would've took some pictures! We are from Charlotte so when we come back!! this will be our go to spot read more

Ok, so raw bar seafood and Asian flair kind of had me confused BUT it's great!! You can get classic raw seafood or steamed/chilled seafood, but cooked dishes have a nice twist of Asian style flair. We had great edamame, fries w aioli, fried oyster appetizer, scallops, dumplings, chilled shrimp and raw oysters-- yes we were pigs but wanted to try an array of items and that we did! Nice quant place w seating inside and out and wrap around bar inside too. Treat yourself to a different kind of raw bar! read more

Food and service were excellent! The bar was well stocked as well. Even enjoyed a pour of old rip and a private barrel EC. All very tasty!

Good bartenders, good drinks, $1.00 oysters for happy hour and good lobster roll. Say no more. Worth the stop

Was looking at this place for a while, and finally had the opportunity to try them. I didn't get a true meal however so not sure the flavor of their food. I had the boiled shrimp (cold-came over ice) and some oysters. What I had was fresh and tasted pretty good. Ordered calamari as an appetizer, it could've been cooked a little longer and it wasn't as good as the meal I ordered. The menu is limited but it has all the seafood options. Wanted to get the fish, shrimp and oyster plate but the only option is to have it fried. A place I will hit up again as it is very close to the house and to get a quick seafood fix. read more

Great local restaurant in N. Mount Pleasant. Plan ahead- becomes standing room only after six. Great food and warm/friendly service. The food choices are fresh & original. We had a soft shell crab dish- perfect. Also tried the ceviche- will reorder both. Very causal and family friendly. read more

Renee and her husband have a fantastic restaurant going here! The service is exceptional (at least at the bar with Renee), the drinks were creative and tasty and the beer was cold. The food is extremely good and Brannon has a touch to take things to the next level; tartar and cocktail sauces are small, but perfect examples of this. This could easily become a regular spot! Highly recommend trying Pier 41. You will not be disappointed. Happy hour, nightly specials and all around great atmosphere. read more

This place was very busy with locals but the food was not that great. I ordered the ceviche and all it was cooked shrimp with cabbage and pickled onions. Good atmosphere but the food is lacking. read more

I'm experiencing a bit of a conundrum on this review. Hubby and I arrived during a Friday happy hour to grab a bite. I know we looked lost, yet no one approached us. The place was packed and it was unclear whether or not we were just supposed to find a place to sit or wait to be seated. Finally, we spotted some friends at the bar who were leaving, so we snagged their seats. We waited a few minutes and finally asked for menus. The servers behind the bar were very perfunctory. Not welcoming. Just looking kind of frazzled. Never cracked a smile the whole time. Same with food servers. Each time our food was delivered, we got a "is this your food?" Just weird. We never got the feeling that anyone cared about our business. Were it not for the tasty food and beverages, I'd give them two stars. read more

The best Happy Hour burger ever!! Loved them. Didn't need to put ketchup, mustard on it. Wow!! It's August 2019...they took the burger off of the menu. It was the only thing I really liked since I'm not much on Asian food. Gotta find a new HH place. read more
