I had the shrimp and tilapia platter at Pier 8 in Seabrook, and it was absolutely delicious! The seafood was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right — crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The portions were generous, and the flavors really stood out. The laid-back atmosphere and friendly service made the whole experience even better. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Pier 8 is a must-try for great seafood in a casual, coastal setting!

So, the fish is made the same taste. All tasteless deep fry. What a pity. Shrimp was ordered as boiling, but came as fried and same taste as fish. 250$, not cheap. Table sticky. I dont think I would come back again.

Pick Your Fresh Seafood & then they cook it Phenomenally!!!

From the start, the prices felt completely unjustified for what was offered. The food was average at best, lacking any real flavor or appeal. What truly shocked me, though, was the service. I was given the wrong dish, and instead of addressing the mistake appropriately, the server used her hands to remove the fish from my plate and swap it with another dish. To make matters worse, the plate I had already touched was then served to someone else. This was not only unprofessional but also a serious health concern. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

I can't tell you how good the food was because I never got a chance to even try the food. I was in line ordering my meal and the lady at the cashier was rude. When my order came through I was kicked out from the inside of the restaurant and was asked to eat outside and I told the cashier that it was hot. However, she said that I am to eat outside. I told her can I eat inside in the one table that is there? She said no so due to the heat I asked the lady. Can I just get my money back? I don't want to eat outside. She was very rude when I asked for the money back and said rules are rules and I am not a special person to break the rules for. First, I was not aware that you are not supposed to eat inside despite the fact that they have chairs and tables inside the restaurant. They didn't have everything on the menu. When I asked for rice they only had one specific rice. I understand that shrimp and seafood is a pricey item but not enough for me to stay there. Pay over $25 to be treated wrong. When the cashier gave me the money back she said she didn't have enough to pay me for my money back and asked for me to wait I said could you just put it in the card and even that was a difficult item for her. I normally don't post negative items. I let little things lie down but this lady went out of her way to be rude to me despite the fact that I am a paying customer and at a pricey price at that. Bad atmosphere Horrible customer service I don't recommend
I’ve visited with family since a was a child and recently I’m completely disappointed, food has literally no flavor but the seasoning a lemons that give you with food. Bought 2 lbs, a pámpano and Freys, $70 no longer worth it.

We went on a Sunday and were unable to find parking. We parked across the street on the grass. The food is fresh, but the fish didn't have any flavor/seasoning. The rice was not what we were expecting. It's all outdoor seating, and some fans were not working.

Our favorite seafood restaurant, fresh and cooked immediately after you select your items. It is a little expensive I'll say but definitely worth the cost. We love th Red Snapper and fried shrimp plus fries!
Parking: They open up at 11am so the later you get there the harder to find a parking spot.

Nice location with good view. Fish was very tasty with crunchy crust. The fried shrimp tasted iodine which we didn’t like .
