Great quick Friday night meal... Friendly and crispy fried fish... Fried shrimp we not very good... overcooked.... But good place overall.. I will go back to try a few other dishes..

The place has really good fish amd chips. It was so hot that I had burned my mouth because I was trying to eat it fast. Would recommend to eat at this place.

Are you hungry for a seafood sandwich? Today I did and of course we do the normal searching online. Well, where can I go on this beautiful 88 deg weather in Riverside to find a restaurant I haven't been to and hopefully cross my fingers to see if the food is good. I am a bit spoiled knowing what good food taste like in Hawaii so I searched away and looked up "Lobster sandwiches." Bingo, Pier 76 in Riverside popped up, its about 40 min away from my house but I planned to drive the side streets because I want to take my time and breath cleaner air than the exhaust from gridlock traffic through Moreno Valley and the 215. Finally arrived and found the road to the restaurant was blocked because of a children's festival celebration of earth day. Great music though. Walked into the restaurant and ordered from the cordial girl at the counter that had a beautiful smile. I really wanted to flirt but it would have been un-funny to the other patrons. I had already looked at the menu online and without hesitation I ordered the Lobster Roll Sandwich, f.r.i.e.s. and the broccoli salad which I had never had before but recommended by the counter girl. Sat and waited .... about 10 min and the salad arrived. Boy was that delicious.Tasty Tasty Tasty. 5 min later the fries and the lobster roll arrived on my table. I thought the sandwich couldn't taste better than the salad. I was loving munching on the leafy enjoyment when I finally took a good look at the V-shaped serving device. The thick bread folded in the V-shape like a taco with a very handsome portion of lobster topping the buttered bread. Grabbed it with both hands and flavor just oozing out. Yummy. I sat in silence. Something I do when my vision narrows and I ignore anything or anyone around me and concentrate on the bliss. Wow, so delicious. I was talking out loud in my head. wow this is really good. Now I wanted to not lose the chance to take photos before the evidence disappears so out comes my phone and snap snap video video. Now I can engulf and feel guilty later. After a while, I had to take some of it home. I can't show myself with such multiple face expressions with each bite. So walked over, grabbed the to-go boxes off the counter and neatly put the rest of my fries, sandwich and left over salad and left. All I thought about was when I would be back again. This place is so highly recommended I am afraid the next time I come back there would be a long line of people discovering this place. Again, highly recommended. I hope you have a wonderful time as I did enjoying the lobster sandwich, broccoli salad and the fries. This is my top recommendation today.

The best fish & chips! Fish stays crunchy and is ginormous. Everything was absolutely delicious!

Pretty good selection of seafood cooked fresh on the grill. Fish and chips were okay but not a cod or haddock taste, and the fries were over salted. Louisiana white fish with gumbo on rice was cooked very well, moist and tender, but also a touch salty. Similar but not quite a California Fish Grill.

Came off a whim. Wasn’t disappointed. Charred Brussel sprout and broccoli are my jam. So good. So crispy. Salmon cooked text book. Juicy and the sauce was “pow”. Sampler platter was a delectable plate of fried fun. Nom it up.

So I came here today (4/10/23)because I chose to eat healthy. I was in a rush before work & decided I would stop here for my dinner (I work 3pm to 11pm). I had to skip my lunch/dinner break. So I brought it home only to discover that my broccoli was so burnt that it's literally black & and there weren't any Brussel sprouts. Not A 1! The clam chowder was decent (9$), but for 20$ (wild salmon) for this subpar dish... I should've gone to California Fish Grill. I definitely sent an IM via FB, and my next step is contacting corporate. With the cost of food. This is unacceptable ?.

So far every visit has been delicious. Friendly staff great selection of craft beer great with the fish tacos. today gave the bowl soup of clam chow a try.

My boyfriend randomly picked this place for lunch and I’m so glad he did. He had the grilled yellow tail with fries which was great. The fries were crispy and the fish was perfectly cooked.I had this shrimp dish with salad and zucchini and days later I’m still thinking about how flavorful and delicious that shrimp was! I wish we had this a Pier 76 close to home so I could go often. Since we don’t, I’ll make sure we stop in anytime we’re near one! Thank you for a wonderful lunch!

Fish and chips was really good- 2 large fish fillets. My wife did not like the clam chowder soup because it was too watery. The drink cooler doesn't maintain drinks cold, my IPA was not cold enough. Will definitely come back to try other dishes.
We got the lobster roll with mayonnaise and it was a huge serving, which is great because most places like to skimp on the lobster. The clam chowder had a good taste but was mostly potato soup. Brussel sprouts were roasted and tasty. All in all, if your looking for a great lobster roll this is the spot.

Pier 76 is a great place to grab lunch. The line was out the door, but it moved very quickly. The food also arrived very quickly after ordering and paying at the front counter. My office is in the area and I was able to conveniently walk over with a colleague. I had the Poke Bowl. It was a very simple meal, but quite delicious. It didn't have all the different items a typical poke restaurant would have, but it was good. Service was very fast. My colleague had the Fish & Chips and that arrived shortly after mine did. Impressive, as mine was served cold and his was freshly fried.

We found this place after morning at the aquarium. They have a parking structure next door and few outdoor seating. It's one of those places where you find a seat yourself and order at the front. We went on a Friday afternoon and there were plenty of tables. The seabass was really good and the kid ate that up like it was ice cream. I had the salmon and no complaints there. The location is on a busy intersection with the metro right in front. There were a few instances where people yelling at each other or to themselves.

My wife and I have come to Pier 76 two times since moving to LB in November. The first time we were blown away and looked forward to coming back. They mixed our orders up the first visit, but the Salmon was so fresh and delicious, it didn't bother us. The second visit we ordered the same thing. Wild pacific salmon + sided and broccoli/brussles (extra side to share). My wife had blacked salmon + sides. Once again they mixed up our fish and our sides. The differences in our orders were small. I had broccoli slaw and kale salad and she had broccoli/brussels and kale salad. We swapped fish and moved on, but thought it was strange that this happened on both visits. The first visit we sat outside, but kind of regretted that choice since it's right next to the metro. There was a constant stream and busses and training coming and going. This visit we sat inside the restaurant. The table was sticky and the cleaning standard was a little lower than I noticed before. I think the stickiness was more of a table lacquer issue than a dirty table, but the facility preservation is also important. I don't want to assume it's not being handled though, so not a deterrent from going back for a third visit. To end on a positive not, the fish is very fresh and everything we've tried has been delicious!

They had a very small menu. My husband and I shared the fish and chips and the fish tacos. The fish and chips were great! Fish tacos were just ok.
