Pier 18 Cajun Seafood & Grill

For a new restaurant and being open for only a bit I give 5 stars with still room for improvements. To start, the menu lists beer, which they do not have yet. It is byob for now I was told which I wish was listed on the door before coming in. We would have quickly gone and got our own bottle. We got the fried calamari with Cajun fries. They don’t have a sauce for it which was odd, when asked they gave us a spicy mustard and ketchup. I think some type of tartar sauce should be included. We also got the 10 piece wings with the honey old bay sauce. Which was a chefs kiss! So flavorful and amazing! Next on the list of ordering we got the clam chowder. Which was good, I love me some clam chowder! Last was the combo 1 with the headless shrimp and muscles. We got this with the pier 18 sauce

Nice portions, good food, and good prices. With so many Cajun spots in the area, this one wins my vote for a quick bite when I'm in the mood. We tried the fried calamari basket (it was good), lobster roll (it was ok), and fried rice (it was amazing). My son said the Po boy was pretty good. Their fries are seasoned very well.

We stopped by tonight to try something new for date night. My husband absolutely loved the cajun fries we picked as an appetizer. For our meals we ordered a philly cheesesteak, a lobster roll and a combo (snow crab, headless shrimp, sausage.) The Pier 18 sauce in medium heat was delicious and everything was perfectly cooked. Our server was super sweet and friendly. We will definitely have to return and try some more things from the menu.

Decided to stop in and try it out! The food was okay. I ordered garlic noodles and calamari. The seafood was a bit overcooked and the garlic noodles are what you would expect. I will go back and try a seafood boil combo. They have the cutest robot server named Lucy! Innovation at its best.

Pier 18 Cajun Seafood Grill in Mansfield, Texas was excellent. I had the street shrimp boil, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly—tender, flavorful, and very easy to peel. You can tell they know how to handle seafood. The gumbo was a true Creole-style gumbo with plenty of vegetables. It wasn’t overloaded with meat, but the flavor was deep, well-seasoned, and balanced, letting the spices and roux shine through. Overall, great food, solid execution, and definitely a spot I’d come back to for Cajun seafood done right.
