Thank you for making such good seafood. First time visiting Chattanooga and was feeling for sumn nice. I found this restaurant on DoorDash. So ambiance and service I can't make remarks about. But the foood baby, it did what it needed to do. First time trying and had to order again before I left. The Crawfish (tried it on the second time ordered) was the best I had in awhile, the shrimp and crab legs were very good, cooked to perfection. The flavor and the heat read more

Me and my friends came here for my birthday on Feb 27th and the service was horrible our waitress Anna barley checked up on us, we could barley get out drinks, all around it was terrible and we think she didn't care for us bc gratuity was already added to our party. As a serve myself there is no reason your service was that bad. Me and my friends also got the sea food boils and the shrimp was horrible, it tasted old, and way to mushy. Overall I will not be coming here again just to have to pay for terrible service and food. read more

It's ok I hate going there though.Service is mid do not go here super expensive!! Food is disappointing I hate pier 88

This place was rocking when we were there. King Crab & Shrimp for 4 were all cooked perfectly. The service was above average (especially for how busy they were) and other than wounding myself a dozen times on the crab legs, we had a wonderful experience. We normally try appetizers, but we were travelling with no way to save leftovers......we'll have to review those next time. read more

I have been to many many seafood places seeing how it is my favorite food, i would not recommend this place to my worst enemy for the service alone. while me and my family had already been waiting for 10 minutes to be sat, there was less than 5 tables who were sitting down... we watched the majority of the wait staff at the host stand just chatting it up... a minute later, another party of women walk in and IMMEDIATELY get seated. me and my family respectfully got up and left. will not be returning and will letting others know that they would be better off getting their meal somewhere else! read more

The restaurant is clean, the staff is extremely friendly and gives great service, and the only complaint that I had was the plastic silverware. I started with the crab cake appetizer. It came with 2 cakes that were absolutely delicious. Then, for the main course I ordered the 4 piece fried catfish basket with sweet potato waffle fries. The catfish was exceptionally breaded and delicious. The sweet potato waffle fries are the best sweet potato fries I've ever had. read more

I am so disappointed because this is my favorite restaurant, favorite type of food and the place I choose every year for my birthday. Unfortunately I'll have to choose a new birthday spot. We waited for over 10 minutes for our waitress to ask us what we wanted to drink (while she sat in a booth with her coworkers talking) and my food (low country boil, special 88, medium) was awful. The corn and shrimp were overcooked, the crab legs were very cold and weirdly everything except the sausage was flavorless. Honestly I hate leaving a bad review but this is the second time in a row that we have had poor service and low quality food. read more

Great Food great service! A bit pricey but there's a BUTTLOAD of food for the price. We ate leftovers for a couple of days. read more

This is your typical seafood boil place. Me and a couple of my coworkers came here and it happened to be during happy hour. So we started with a few drinks (they were on point!!) and apps. Then we order boils. The pier 88 mix sauce is on point and the hot heat level.. good. The only reason I didn't give 4 stars is we started with good service then over time our server left us. I think this is because our server was also the bartender, but the communication of hey someone else is going to handle your table would have been great. We were there for a min. Just lack of hand off. Overall good experience. read more

Service was great, and our waitress Makaya was truly top tier! Unfortunately, the food and the back-of-house experience were a huge disappointment. I ordered the Low Country Boil "88 Special," medium spice, but what I received was extremely hot and far spicier than requested. Makaya kindly offered to have it remade, telling me it would only take a few minutes. What I did NOT expect was for the cook to simply rinse off my original food and rebag it. I knew immediately what happened because the flavor was watered down, and the same crab leg I had already cracked open came back in the new bag. Completely unacceptable. I will NOT be returning. If this is their standard practice, I'm genuinely concerned about the integrity of the kitchen. A health inspection needs to take place ASAP. read more

First let me say. I am not a seafood lover at all. I only went because it was valentines weekend and it was husband request. Pretty much this is his review because he loves seafood and we do not have any decent ones back home in Kentucky that fits our taste buds w/o driving over an hour. Now that my update is over lol... The food was fresh but needs a bit more seasoning on the food itself. If that makes sense. It was boiled nicely. All the flavors were in the bottom of the bag....still tasty. We arrived at a busy time and were seated right away. A plus of course. Our waiter was very polite and attentive. Food came out pretty fast. The Restaurant was clean. read more

my experience was terrible. I went there with my husband right after he got out the hospital. I suggested we go to PIER 88 /GUNBARREL when we got there. I ordered. To take out when we got home I realize the boiling was left over from the next day everything in that boil was hard greasy disgusting no taste no nothing. I threw it in the garbage I call the manager to complain about it and she said people never complain before and hung up in my face. read more

This is the worst sea place in Chattanooga! They are so unethical they put the wrong seasoning on my boil, I told my server she took it back, instead of making one fresh they washed it off, and put it in another bag! It was water down bad! I hate to say this, but Asian people have a track record of being unsanitary! Needless to say I won't be back! read more

The seafood boil was good. I got the Pier 88 special seasoning with Hot heat level. Their hot does have a kick to it! Towards the end of dinner they turned up the music and created a nice vibe. Cool place with good food and the service was okay. read more

Let's start with the server/waitress. She came up to the table, did not introduce herself, and immediately said, hello can you tell me what you would like to drink?? I asked her was she our server, and she said she was. I said ok what is your name, and she told me, so I then proceeded to tell her what I wanted to drink. She then gave us a few minutes because we weren't ready to order. She then came back with our beverages, and then took our order. She then brought the food to the table once it was ready. She came to the table ONE TIME to ask us were we ok. A little bit later the last person in my party showed up, and took her order. The person in my party did not like her service as well. She never did come back to the table to see if that party needed anything. I still gave her a tip, but by the minimum that get ticket suggested. That young lady needs more training. She really acted as if she did not want to be there. Or like we were bothering her. Now, my catfish basket was not all of that! As a matter of fact, I visited this establishment one time, but don't have to EVER GO BACK!! The kids in my party ordered crab legs, king crab, and a shrimp plate. The one kid that ordered the shrimp with the heads off in the plastic bag, I am assuming that was grilled shrimp, he enjoyed his food. All of the kids were pleased. The ambiance wasn't bad. It was nice and spacious inside, and their score is a 99, which means a whole lot of goodness and cleanliness in the restaurant industry. Would I recommend this place, based off of the server and my food, no. But, you can do whatever you like of course to grab your own opinion of Pier 88, but I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

First let me say that the food was great as always. What the problems were was that our group of 12 or more were seated in the back of the restaurant where there was absolutely no air flowing at all. We roasted our entire time there. No staff suggested moving us or anything. Secondly, our waitress was TERRIBLE. She left us before finishing taking the complete tables orders. She was rude and a terrible waitress. We complained to the manager who reduced our tip amount but that's it. We probably will not be returning anytime soon. Such a terrible thing, because we really enjoyed the food. Oh yeah, she told us nothing about the menu. Didn't explain a thing about the menu. Red lobster, here we come!. read more

From Atlanta and recently took a trip to Chattanooga. Stopped by Pier 88 for their happy hour. Pier 88 reminds me of Juicy Crab but better. Those Pier 88 wings extra crispy and extra wet are 10/10. The hush puppies are solid as well. The drinks were our least favorite. You have to order a Blue Long Island to taste liquor in your drink. Ordered a Cosmopolitan and I think the bartender added sprite. Yikes. Our waiter provided good service. Would definitely dine again. We told them we are in town to celebrate our anniversary and they were nice enough to bring out free dessert to celebrate.

I just have one thing to say I don't know if they are under new ownership or a new cook but the flavor is bland and not the same I came here about 2 months ago and it tasted like salt water and other tables said the same thing, we came back again today to give it another try and just as expected the flavor had the same bland taste. Our server both times were great but the OG taste is not there anymore.... Sad read more

Walked in the place with already high expectations, due to a close friends recommendation. I have to say, this place blows expectations out of the water. Greeted by the hostess to my right upon entering, we were sat in a booth on the far left. The atmosphere was very relaxing and though the place was full, there was no wait! We ordered calamari for an appetizer, which was a great way to start this night. After we ordered a water, we also ordered an 88 Punch (Alcoholic drink, vodka based). As for the food, I can't even describe with words how good the foods were. We got the "Famous Low Country Boil" ($28.95), Medium Heat, with 88 Pier seasoning (which is a combination of goodness in itself). That meal comes with snow crab, shrimp, and sausage. We just split the one order and that was plenty. Joy was our waiter and took exceptional care of us. We live over an hour away and he made this experience so wonderful for us. We will absolutely be back! All in all: Atmosphere: 10 Food: 10 Staff: 10 *edit Came back and Sharon also took exceptional care of us! read more

My oldest son and I discussed how we wanted something different, so we drove to East Brained to experience a seafood boil. This location is in a strip mall with plenty of parking. We went early, 5pm ish, on a weekday and were seated immediately. After looking at the menu, I was excited to see oysters on the half shell, and since I had just come back from the gulf coast I was hoping for a repeat of delicious oysters. The seafood boil options were comprised of several "set" choices, but you can add items or create your own boil. I went with a crab & shrimp boil, adding more crab (which automatically added a corn & potato) with the combo sauce (recommended by the waitress). Let's get the disappointing item out of the way first - the oysters. Oysters on the half shell should be cold. For some inexplicable reason the oysters were served on plastic wrapped ice. Why? The oysters were room temp and I couldn't finish them - very off putting. Now the great stuff - the boil was delicious! Messy as heck, but man the flavor was 5 star. The only negative was the cut of the sausage. I prefer a chunk vs the thin slices they use. Pass on the oysters but definitely go for the boil. I also wish the waitress had brought refills of water around more frequently - we had to waive her down. read more

I already knew the food was mediocre at best, spent good money despite it pouring down raining, ordered a bag to go, I SPECIFICALLY said no pork in it. Get all the way home and guess what's in it? So I had to give it away, called them and the young lady apologized and said if I bring it back (30 min drive in floodwaters) she would give me another, or if I came in later she would replace it. I came in today (with receipt) to get it and the manager told me she could only give me a 25% discount. Umm no thanks love I'm cool. Service and food never again read more

Cool Atmosphere, Good Food, Good Prices. The ambiance here is relaxing and cool. The service is friendly. Oyster Po Boy: I liked the fried oysters and there was a decent potion in the sandwich. Sweet Potato Fries: delicious! You cannot usually go wrong with sweet potatoes! Sweet Tea: Tasty! Catfish Po Boy: I had this last month and forgot to make a review. I'll have to get it gain another time so I can speak to its goodness... Easy to find across the road from Rooms To Go... read more

My partner and I were in need of good seafood and we found this place that wasn't far away. The restaurant was packed with so many people when we arrived so we hoped that was a sign that the food would be amazing. Our service was so friendly and attentive. I feel like it took a while to receive our food but it was so worth it! The Cajun spicy seasoning was excellent on the shrimp and crab legs that were boiled to perfection! I didn't get any photos because I dove right into the food as soon as it got to the table but it was great! We'll certainly return on our next visit. read more

The food was great and service was, too. We just happened to be in the area and thought we would try it. We loved it.

I have never done a seafood boil before so I don't have an experience to compare this too. But the flavors were great and service was also!!! I did need to add some salt! Restaurant was clean and staff was helpful and kind! read more

We stopped here to meet up with a friends on our way through Tennessee. The food was pretty inexpensive especially for the amount that you get. And it was tasty. The waitress was friendly and attentive. I had a catfish basket and the fish pieces were bigger than I expected. My friend got the shrimp boil with medium heat and really thought they were good with good spice level. Her husband got snow crab, which he enjoyed. Their kids got a chicken tender basket that had enormous tenders on it. Hubbo really liked the hush puppies (he's a fanatic). The fries were the weakest link. The white sangria was also a winner. read more

So my sister flew in from Florida and wanted to have crabs for dinner...first time for both of us here. We walked in and noticed the front door was dirty and then there was like four couples in the whole establishment. We got a booth and I noticed how dirty the napkin holder was. It was in the middle of the table, so it was pretty noticeable and the server was nice, she gave us the menu. I told her it was our first time there and what did she recommend and it was the combination the first combination. so my sister and I both ordered the number one combination which entailed had shrimp de headed snow, crab, claw, legs, sausage corn on the cob one little piece of corn on the cob and one potato, and then it either sits in a bag with garlic butter or the seasonings with garlic butter. And they give you a bucket they give you one glove a lobster and she didn't bring out any cocktail sauce. I had to ask for that and she only brought one little thing of cocktail sauce and a little container and this boil cooked old bay so I started on my shrimp. I took the glove off because it was ridiculous. You can't shell a shrimp without being able to feel what you're pulling off, well shrimp I noticed my shrimp has shit in it(it wasn't deveined). I looked at my sister and I said when have you ever gotten shrimp and a boil shrimp. In a restaurant andthey don't divine? So I told the server look I have about eight shrimp here that have not been deveined. So she takes some back and brings them back out to me at this point. We're just ready to pack up what we have and leave. I had to warn the table booth in front of us. Don't order the order the shrimp because they do not devein the shrimp. First clue was it just looked dirty and rundown second clue the table was. I mean you guys take my word for it don't go here. We couldn't even crack the clause of the crab because they were either over steamed or old crabs. There was nothing to snap. I think the health department needs to go out there don't bother wasting your money. And apparently the supervisor wasn't gonna come over and talk to me and it's funny because the table behind my sister when we first got there were complaining about the crabs. There was no meat there should've been more crab so she wouldn't come over to my table, read more

They require masks when you walk in. This place could do a far better job at socially distancing. We were in a good spot sitting in of the booth. The people who were seated at tables were literally within elbow's room if each other. I ordered the Famous Low Country Boil. Comes with 1/2 lb of crab, 1/2 lb shrimp no head, sausage, corn, potato, and boiled egg. Seasoned with 88 special, hot. The food was seasoned great and the hot definitely had some heat behind it. I was not a fan of the sausage. It definitely wasn't beef; it was either turkey or a very cheap brand. I thought only adding one potato was hella cheap. I mean, it's a potato and it's super cheap. Mind you, that's exactly how they advertise but I thought it'd be at least 3 of them. Lol. The one potato could have been cooked longer as it was undercooked. The beau ordered 1/2 lb shrimp head on, 1/2 lb green mussels and 1/2 snow crab. It came with corn and a potato. He was surprised that the sausage wasn't included since a similar place back home always includes corn, potatoeS and sausage. After tasting my sausage he was ok with them not being included. Overall good place and I would come back if in town. read more

First I want to say that we went here with great anticipation looking for some great boiled seafood and in general the food was good. However it is a brand new location as of this writing and I think the staff is still catching their groove. Sometimes it took a while to get refills and getting the check took forever. They do offer 10% off if you post a check in on social media so that is a welcomed discount. The problems that I have are mostly related to the menu. There is NOTHING green on the whole menu. No slaw, no salad, no green beans or anything else other than starches. The sides are potatoes, other potatoes such as fries, different fries, and corn. All of those are carb heavy and it would be super nice if they added something for those of us that are a little more health conscious. I had crab legs that were good as were my wife shrimp. But having a side salad or some slaw etc would have gone a long way. read more

Tonight we came in for dinner for the second last. The last time we were here was a year ago and I regret not leaving a review then! Where to start?! Well, our waitress, Kym was kind and informative. She helped us make choices that resulted in another fabulous meal here. She was quick with refills and didn't wait until we had our mouths full to ask how our meal was. I love that! We ordered a boil with crab, green mussels, andouille, corn, potato, shrimp and eggs with medium heat. We also ordered a fried food basket. It had fries, chicken, catfish and oysters. Everything was hot and fresh and delicious! read more

This was my first time at Pier 88! Our waiter was great! There was also no wait on this Wednesday evening. I ordered the feast (not sure if that's the accurate name) but it was a boil that came with crab legs, shrimp, sausage and corn. For an appetizer we got the buffalo fried shrimp. The shrimp were so good and so was the boil. The only thing about the boil was that it wasn't as hot (temperature wise) as i would've liked it. I attempted to get our waiters attention but he didn't see me and headed towards the kitchen. I just decided to eat it. It was very good. Just wished it had been a little warmer. I also ordered a margarita. It was also very tasty! Will def go back! read more
