Prices are amazing. Flavors match the price. The crawfish are huge! Really happy with my pound of crawfish. Lacks flavor, over salted sauce but the price is truly fair. Waited an hour to get sat. We will defs order take out next time. Happy hour looks great too! read more

Went to Pier 88 Boiling Seafood & Bar on Mother's Day, so there was a bit of a wait after check-in, but 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. read more

Pier 88 used to be a 10/10 the sauce is like water now there not much seasoning or flavor. I only gave it 3 stars because everything fried was good. But as far as boils go I'll have to pass in the future. It sucks because when they opened it was so good. Also I went twice just to see if maybe it was a bad day & it was the same both times. read more

Umm no! That is all I got! It could be I am use to seafood from Texas and Louisiana so this was a total mess for me. I didn't like it at all. I will say however, the service was good so I will give it a 3. Try it for yourself because like I said I have a Southern palette and I just like a little more flavor in my food. Louisiana-style Cajun seafood boils, I am still waiting for Louisiana to show up. I would try it again I could have went on the non-Louisiana day. read more

8/10 I've been twice now and the first time was definitely very rocky for me. The prices didn't seem to match their flavor and service at all. The food was mid and definitely not up to par with places like Kickin Krab. However, the second time I went the waiters were definitely more efficient and kinder. The food was better and overall a better experience. read more

Please save your gas. Don't go here. They have a pest control problem. We were having dinner and two roaches appeared in our food. We were sat in a booth. The hostesses aren't very friendly and barely pay attention to you. The bartenders are very friendly. The drinks were great! read more

I would give this place a five star on food except when you order to go online they just ignore you when you try and pick up. They stare you in the face and do something else like answer the phone for just look down And take notes. So weird! Anyways I did sit down one and the server was nice way better experience. The pickup situation sucks each time but the food is always good. read more

SUPERRRRRRR slow service! Not a very nice hostess that sat us down. Food was meh and overpriced. Was so excited for this place and now I'm kinda bummed. read more

Food is amazing here. It is pricey but service is great and the ambiance as well. However, whenever I order online they don't even send lemons and I think they weight the potatoes and corn with the shrimp so I have to order everything separately and pay for each thing separately which is inconvenient and more pricey. read more

Went for my first time on a Monday afternoon and we had no problem getting sat right away. The service was great, we got our food very quick. I ordered a pound of no head shrimp with lemon pepper seasoning. Although the flavor was good, I feel like the lemon pepper flavor wasn't all there for me. It had the same taste as my friend's order of the one with all the seasonings. We also ordered jalapeño poppers since they were on the happy hour menu and they were pretty good! read more

Call me a fat ass but I've been going here for 2 years. I go damn near every month it's that bomb. Sometimes it's busy I've waited an hour to get seated before and I don't mind. I was reading other reviews and mfs be tripping over anything. Food is bomb, waiters are always nice. Best seafood spot! read more

We were really excited to try Pier 88 Boiling Crab, especially since I love seafood and the Yelp reviews 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. read more

The food is so good. I love their flavors for the boil bags. The fish baskets are good as well. Service is usually good and the servers are usually attentive. It does get busy on the weekends so you have to bring ur patience. I love the design inside and it is usually clean. As it relates to correctness and fulfilling togo orders, 8/10 times they will get the order right. The times that they get it wrong, they only offer you to go back up there to pick it up rather than refund a portion of the order. read more

We did takeout and ordered through door dash and someone had picked up my order? They didn't even ask or check for confirmation, they just handed it out. The servers looked like a bunch of high schoolers (which is fine) but they were huddled together in a group of 6 behind the check in stand and were gossiping very loudly the whole time even though the restaurant is busy on a Sunday night. Extremely unprofessional between door dash and the noise from the waiters. When asked about someone else picking up our food they seemed lost and brushed it off and said you'd have to contact door dash (which I did and got a refund on their end). Nonetheless we came home and tried the food and it sucked. The shrimp was overcooked. We got Cajun sauce and there's no Cajun in it, only thyme. We got mild spice and there was no spice at all, previously we got mild and it kicked my butt - so inconsistent. The potatoes were also so starchy, it did not taste like it was soaked or anything, just boiled in plain water and thrown in. We also got sweet potato fries and that's the only thing that tastes good but it's a ridiculously small size for $6. This is my 3rd time eating here and I'm disappointed yet again. I will not be coming back. read more

This review is courtesy of my 11 year old son who is a mini yelper. This was his pick to celebrate his birthday. He says he gives it 5 stars. We came on a Tuesday evening around 6p. Quickly greeted and offered a table or booth. It was busy but it was a steady crowd. Our server was friendly and attentive. He ordered the low country seafood boil with an extra lb of head off shrimp. It came with 1/2 pound shrimp, 1/2 pound snow crab, sausage, boiled egg, 2 ears of corns and 4 potatoes. He was able to pick his own spice level and he picked the mild Cajun seasoning which in his opinion had no spice but it was flavorful. The restaurant was clean and the music was great. He said he would give this 5 stars and he wants to come back. read more

The food and service were really good! First time trying the fried shrimp and it did NOT disappoint so delicious, the only thing I didn't like was the red sauce that comes with the fried shrimp it's not ketchup has a weird taste! the ranch was good. We had to wait a while for our table but that's because we ask for a booth no big deal once they seated us we order our food and it came out quick. Ambiance was good too read more

$660 bill the seafood was mid at best, service it was my daughters bday and they wouldn't even sing happy birthday to her. Did I mention the bill was $660 for 6 people. They also put an 18% gratuity on our check for our server don't waste your money read more

If you're craving a flavorful, finger-licking seafood boil, Pier 88 definitely delivers! I recently visited and ordered a seafood combo with shrimp (head-off), snow crab legs, corn, potatoes, and sausage, all drenched in their house "Boom" sauce -- and it was absolutely delicious. The seasoning was bold, buttery, and had just the right amount of heat (I got medium spice, and it was perfect). Everything tasted fresh and well-cooked, especially the crab legs which were easy to crack and full of sweet meat. The service was friendly and pretty quick considering how busy it was. They give you gloves and bibs, which makes it more fun and less messy. The vibe is casual and energetic -- great for groups or a chill date night if you both love seafood. read more

5/5 - A Delicious Experience! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with just the right blend of cozy and stylish. But the real star of the show? The food. Every bite was bursting with flavor -- fresh, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with care. I ordered shrimp/mussels and it was absolutely phenomenal. The portion size was generous, the presentation was beautiful, and the taste? Unforgettable. read more

We order Pier 88 combo for 2 and it was ok. For our first time I would say nice place very clean and friendly waitress. I'm for us the food was ok wasn't great like everyone says. We felt like it needed more seasoning. We did mention to the waitress that it was our first time there and she was friendly but when our food arrived we wished they would explain to us how to use some of the utensils for the crabs legs. We ended using the claws or the crab to open the legs and get the meat out . But we just wished it had a bit more flavor. And what I just didn't like was that one of the potatoes was rotting and all they did was made a hole in the potato just to take that part out and they still served it like that. That was nasty I gave it to the waitress, and she said it was nasty and she apologized, and she actually brought back one potato, which I thought it was nice of her. I just wished that the cooks would look more into what they're serving and I just make a hole or take off that part that's being rotten. I wish I can give it more stars, but for my first time being there, it would take me a while for me to go back. read more

Pier 88 Boiling Seafood & Bar - MMM! - Seafood Near Me - Avondale, Arizona

My expectations were high for our first time trying a seafood boil. We got the Country Low Boil and The starter appetizer. Disappointing is the least we can say considering both meals were half eaten. We were so disappointed, we talked about it all day about how disappointing it was. The food took too much work for how fast it got cold, it was so oily it felt like I was putting tanning oil on my face. The only thing that was okayish were the mozzarella sticks but that's pretty hard to mess up. The wings were so crispy dawg, my teeth almost fell out, not even the sauce helped. For the prize payed, the quality of food was underwhelming. 0/10 would not go again and would accept a refund if possible. For being our first time trying seafood boil, it ruined it for us. Decorations were cool tho 10/10. Sincerely, Disappointed x2 read more

Food is always great! Missy the bartender makes the experience that much better!! I will definitely be back.

My fiancé and I stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon around 4pm. We were greeted by the hostess that sat us down immediately. The decor of restaurant was similar to other cajun seafood places in the valley. There was a odd sewer smell when you first enter the restaurant which isn't good for a restaurant to have since they are serving food. We ordered the half dozen oysters, fried calamari, cajun fries, and the 88 punch. The oysters were fresh, and they had all the condiments you needed for the order. Happy that I didn't have to ask for hot sauce and horseradish because it was already provided when the waiter delivered the oysters. The canjun fries came out piping hot and were crunchy. We ordered a pound of head on shrimp, green mussels, and dungness crab in the 88 special sauce. There was some parts of the seafood that was salty and some where they lack flavor. Some of my shrimp were mushy and the dungness crab tasted a little on the fishy side. I was not a fan of their boil as the flavors were not evenly distributed and the seafood was not fresh. The appetizers was the best part of the meal. Sadden that the canjun boil didn't make the cut. The odd sewer smell made it a little difficult to enjoy the food. The sewer smell was very strong in the restroom. The owner should really look into getting that fix especially running a restaurant. No one wants to eat in a restaurant when it's smells like sewer which made it difficult for me to finish my food. read more
