Best seafood anywhere! Fried, broiled. Seafood Platters are huge! Great service, friendly staff plentiful plates. You'll be back again and again! read more

Delicious catfish and the hush puppies are the best I have had in years. Fast service and with these prices got me wanting to move back to NC! read more

Mmmm, just what I was in the mood for; a tasty plate of seafood. The hushpuppies were cooked just right. I ordered the broiled shrimp in their house seasoning, which was quite mild. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. I spied other folks' calabash fried shrimp and they looked reaaaal good too! Ill definitely be back for them and some fish and scallops! The restaurant has a lot of seating, with the ambiance being casual, bright, and lifely. We were seated quickly and the wait staff were prompt and friendly. Food came out in a timely manner. Prices are fair for the type of food and portions. A quick note tho- if you say yes to the loaded option for baked potato, you are charged more. I didn't see that on the menu if it's there. No real complaints here though. Delicious read more

Driving from Charleston SC to DC, up the I 95, happened to be directed to Lumberton NC by the nice lady in the NC welcome centre. HER choice, formerly a favourite lunch stop has reinvented itself as a bakery, NOT serving HOT meals....... we find ourselves hOngry, enjoying a rest stop....wot do do ? A NON chain option.... yelp reviews look encouraging. these small town food stops are like a 'lucky dip' innit ? maybe a better metaphor down south is Forrest Gump's " life's a box a chocolates"..... Narrowed down to choice of 2. Decision between Asian and American.... goes to the LOCAL...seafood by pier 41 easy parking. promptly seated, given menus a cuppa decaf coffee, washrooms tidy, spacious comfortable dining room. It's 3/4 full of locals, a very good sign BETTER than Gilligan's in Charleston yesterday. Their seafood is famous and pricy by comparison, our experience here is a good one.... albeit A few flaws : Soup served lukewarm not HOT. Clam chowder improved markedly when heated properly. Ditto coffee, but couldn't get refills on a timely basis, gave up eventually = loss of star. Boney bits in the seafood platter where they shouldn't be. Served in a big clump overcrowded on a too small plate, paid extra for JUMBO shrimp, they weren't, sweet potato fries cold unappetizing. no FRESH lemon? a little plastic bottle? lose a star instantly Positives too. Friendly staff. Tasty green salad. FRESH cold much appreciated. Slaw nicely mixed & good flavour. Generous portions and lagniappe hush puppies, not that we could eat em all. They're a tad HEAVY for this diner, wife ate two and said YUM! Solid 3 star lunchtime dining experience. Pier 41 COULD be so much better...with a little attention paid to service and details. Qualified recommendation. read more

One of the best local restaurants that serve calabash style seafood. No buffet available. Multiple options available other than seafood. Lunch items available with smaller portions that seniors will enjoy. We've always enjoyed the seafood options but don't forget they also have delicious ribs and several sandwich options. Be careful relying on internet menu prices. The clam chowder is delicious with my personal favorite being the scallops with the stuffed crab a close second. read more

Okay, we went there because they got a good rating on Yelp !! My wife had the "small" shrimp dinner, the waitress brought out the two plates for comparison. The smaller looked like the right size. . There was no way she, even with my help eating a few, could finish her meal I had the hamburger steak with sweet potato fries and the burger was great. Once more we win with Yelp while traveling !! read more

I was visiting a friend who lives in Lumberton. We wanted a bite to eat and I saw this place. I am so glad that we stopped in. First of all, we were greeted with smiles and southern eastern nc charm. I joked with the hostess because she sat us over in the corner, I laughed saying that I was in "time out". Just fun banter that she laughed along with, thank goodness ;) The service was great, the food was fantastic - very tasty! The atmosphere was nice and royally crowded. This speaks to me that I am eating at a local favorite. It also tells me that the locals usually go where there is good food and service. No doubt I was in the right place. Everything that I tried while here was exceptionally good. Even when checking out the cashiers make you feel at home. This hospitality speaks great volumes when it seems to be lacking in so many restaurants. Thank you to all the staff for making this "first timer" over the top satisfied and right at home! Whenever I go to Lumberton, I must return to eat at this establishment for certain. read more

Was in town for the evening and found Pier 41 Seafood. Their prices are reasonable and they have plenty of options. I ordered the deluxe broiled platter with oysters (shrimp, fish, scallops, and crab), French fries, hush puppies, and a pink lemonade. All of that for $20.01. The food was ok, a touch lackluster but hits the spot if you want seafood. I wasn't expecting to get a crab cake when I ordered this, so that was an unpleasant surprise to receive instead of crab legs but I should have known with the inexpensive cost. It didn't have real crab meat, and the oysters are taken out of the shell already. I normally do not like hush puppies but they have really good ones! The employees were friendly and accommodating and the restaurant looks like a nice place to dine in. read more

We loved this place!! Just passing through after a week vacation in SC... heading to VA!! It was recommended by Yelp with a super rating of 4.5... we would definitely give it a 5+!! Steve, the owner, took the time to sit and chat with us awhile... we really enjoyed our conversation with him and it gave us time to tell him how wonderful the food was and also our waitress, Cheyenne, was excellent, too!! I had the small fried seafood platter with shrimp, scallops, and oysters... great amount and perfectly cooked with an awesome baked potato, also perfectly cooked!! My husband had the large grilled platter and marveled at how great it all tasted!! We hope to return!! read more

Abundant & Great fried jumbo shrimp- hot and delicious hush puppies, pleasant and quick service. Couldn't ask for more!

I feel like I bought salt of the sea than seafood. I got the small seafood platter with shrimp, scallops, and deviled crab. I paid a $1 for jumbo shrimp. I got a good amount but they were salty. The scallops were small and not nearly as salty. The baked potato was small and I was given honey butter instead of regular butter. The fries were soggy on my short ride home. I rather had something else than fries and hush puppies. I enjoyed the devil crab than anything else. I won't be coming back. The dining space is doesn't have any pizazz and just plain. What did they renovate? Yawn! read more

The New England clam chowder, was a styrofoam cup of warm milk with a little bit of clam and potato pieces. They did give a bunch of crackers to soak up the milk. This isn't New England Clam Chowder! Save your money! read more

All the food has been really good. Normally I order pickup. Always check your bag or you may be missing requested condiments or to few.

Food is great just wish my scallops were a little crispier as well as the shrimp. But the taste is sooooo good!

I love this place. The food is always on point. I'm allergic to shellfish but, the fish and hamburger steak is amazing

Food tends to be a little greasy for my taste. Service is usually good and prices are reasonable

I've been driving by this place for a couple years now and it usually is crowded. We decided to stop by today. The service was really good. My wife said the salad was good and it did look fresh. I had the gumbo and while it was ok, I wouldn't get it again. I had the deluxe broiled seafood and it really looked like they put all the raw seafood on a plate, stuck it in the broiler and then sprinkled some seafood seasoning over it. All the seafood was laying in a puddle of liquid and it all tasted the same, watery with some seasoning sprinkled over it. Maybe this was the time I should have went with fried seafood assuming it's not frozen to fryer. My wife had the crab stuffed flounder and it was floating in liquid and surprisingly it was flounder laying on top two soggy deviled crab cakes that didn't taste like crab and was mostly breading. We though there would be some sort of crab imperial inside and would have paid more for that option if it was available. She would have liked the baked potato but the fake butter ruined it and they said they didn't have real butter. It wasn't $43 ($53 with tip) worth to us at all sorry to say. We ate at Bonefish Grill for $47 recently and it was much, much better. read more

This is a great informal restaurant. Very good service, great food, and NO TVs! Strongly recommend it!

The food is always delicious and cooked to perfection. The owner of Pier 41 is always checking in with guests to make sure that all is well with their food and service. read more

Everything is deep fried. If you like your seafood soaked in grease this is the place

Quick and delicious! Hush puppies are amazing as was the fried flounder and broiled shrimp.

I absolutely loved it here! The staff were all so kind and I will definitely be going back every time I'm in the area. From the outside it doesn't look like much but it really was a great all around experience on our drive home. read more

This was our first visit and we stopped because of the Yelp reviews. The gumbo my table mate had was delicious as described. I had the cold boiled shrimp, they were a tad overcooked and about one third of them were not cleaned. We were not offered refills on our iced tea and had to ask another server to get ours for the check. read more

On vacation and never been here before. Figured it must be popular because parking lot was full. Family atmosphere. Very busy and crowded, but food was great. Our party of 3 left feeling full and happy. Wait staff was on the ball! Prices were surprisingly lower than expected. Worth the 20 minute wait for a table! Will come back if in town again. read more

My husband & I were passing through & stopped in for lunch. Pier 41 is very basic. No greeters, mood setting lights or date night atmosphere. But do expect free basket of yummy hushpuppies, the most delicious gumbo & friendly waitstaff who will call you "baby" and "honey." It's a great stop for a quick bite. read more

Soooooo good! Excellent find! Perfect seasoning and NOT full of batter! we actually drove 30 minutes out of the way to eat there a second time driving on I-95!! read more

Sweet service, awesome food! Hush puppies: best we've ever had--perfectly fried, balanced sweet & onion flavor Catfish: well seasoned, tender--perfect Flounder: could have been crispier Oysters: 7 in the choose 5! Fresh, crunchy, briny Clam strips: chewy & tender Fries: perfect, but should have been under the seafood Scallops: a bit overdone/chewy Ribs: fall off the bone, not too sweet Tea: a little weak Salad: standard $34 before tip read more

What a wonderful experience we have had at Pier 41! The food is really excellent! The fried shrimp is a favorite for me. My husband and I shared a large plate of shrimp and also shared a big salad decked out the way salads are supposed to be. We both love the hush puppies that are served as soon as you sit. They are sooooo good. We'll be going back more than once!! read more

Fantastic family-run local restaurant. Great food. Beats the food chains. What it may lack in decor is more than made up by the good food in a family atmosphere. Owner even strolls around to greet guests and check on the quality of service. Be prepared for generous portions. read more

Living in Florida, I've had much better but it wasn't bad. Tried the clam chowder - that was good. Hush puppies were hot and tasty. Fried seafood was ok. Wasn't bad, but definitely isn't 4+ stars. Service is very good. You can be in and out in record time. Food comes out hot. Presentation could be significantly improved. read more

Overpriced. The flounder platter I ordered was greasy. I spoke to the manager and his response was the next time I came he comp my order. Why would I go back? read more

5 stars isn't enough for this place! It deserves 100 gold stars!! The service and food are outstanding. And the prices are unreal for the amount of food you get. The key lime pie is wonderful and half the price of any place in Florida. We will definitely be making more trips to this wonderful find read more

Excellent stop en route to Virginia. We wanted a non chain option and the reviews looked great. The location was easy to get to, massive, clean and staffed by some really friendly folk. Seafodd seemed to be the plan and it was all tasty. This is not a fancy place but if you want a good down home fish fry and all the other delights from the sea, this is a great spot. Oh yeah, they drop off these hush puppy fries up front and lawd...with the honey butter they are almost a weapon. The entire family enjoyed everything from catfish to scallops. Fast service, friendly team and tasty food in a spotless environment. We will be back read more

Food has always been good since I was a little girl we've ate here. I miss the salad bar. It was the best. This place is great for a family to get together. Very optional menu. read more

The food never disappoints!. I love the carry out plan that allows you to order ahead and then the food is brought to you curbside.

Good food and at most times fast service! Which I understand it can be crazy busy in there at times.

Our first time visiting this establishment and it was wonderful. Staff were very friendly and the food was great!!!

2 star on global terms but 4 star relative to what you can get in the middle of nowhere. Good hush puppies & the broiled deluxe seafood platter was good. Happy to have sweet potato fries too. The chopped BBQ was just beef chopped no BBQ sauce & was ok but needed BBQ sauce. The buffalo tenders were ok too. Super inexpensive. If you are passing through & want to eat somewhat healthy then this is probably the best choice. read more

This was a fantastic find for us. Pier 41 is a short drive from I-95 and near the hotels. If you like seafood this is the place for you. Generous portions, fast friendly service. Staff very courteous and you could tell really liked working there and loved the owner. BTW, the owner visited every table to make sure everything was perfect. This is a spot that is in our list to revisit. read more
