Pier 88

Better than I expected it to be. We went during lunch time on a weekday so it was pretty much empty. Great service from our waiter. We got the whiting, tilapia, and calamari. Calamari was a little chewy but the cajun fries were fried perfectly.

Feast your eyes on happy hour with beer, mixed drinks, and select items for cheap prices. Be sure to inquire if you have food allergies. From what I saw the food came out quickly. Great music mix and you can still hold a conversation. I had to eat elsewhere, but those in my party enjoyed their food.

They have a happy hour that includes drinks and appetizers. Food was good, but I still think I like my other boil place better, which is why I gave 3 stars. It was not crowded, but busy, and the food was hot. I said I would return to try a larger boil as all I wanted was shrimp and fried fish on this day. The drinks on happy hour were good. The waitress was helpful, but not friendly. I’m willing to give it another try.

I’m tired of seeing businesses make a lot of money from Black customers and Black neighborhoods while giving very little respect, care, or investment back. This place stays busy with Black people spending their hard-earned money, but the service, atmosphere, and energy don’t always reflect appreciation for the community that keeps it alive. If you’re going to profit from Black people, there should be real respect, fair treatment, and visible care for that community not just taking money and moving on.

We found a great new seafood place! Very casual. Prices were reasonable. I got 1/2 dozen oysters on the half shell for $12.88 and they were so sweet! Happy hour margaritas are NOT on the rocks with salt. Not sure what ones were but we were clearly there for the happy hour specials yet nothing was communicated to us. We even asked for a second one before happy hour ended so I thought it was obvious. Paper on the tables. Bibs. Steamed in bags. I had lobster tail and 1/2 pounds of steamed shrimp. Both were sweet and delicious. My friend had snow crab and steamed shrimp. Hush puppies happy hour price was $2.50. Drinks were good. Shout out to our server Noah! He was very nice. Oh, and we each got two corn on the cob and two potatoes. My total was $61.25 before tip. Reasonable for two drinks an
