Omg (drool). This place is delicious and Kylie was amazing! We got a seafood boil and it was so much food that I couldn't even finish it.

Great seafood boil! The prices are fair and the portions are great. Service was a little slow but he was super friendly! I love the decor. One thing I really enjoyed was Pier 8 dumps your boil bag in a giant bowl and not just on the table. Don't forget, you need to order 2 items for the small boil, but you can always double up on one item, which my husband did. 2 lobster tails. Icing on the cake, it was someone's birthday, and someone came out in an inflatable shark costume, dancing to Baby Shark!

Searching and finding on an "impulse!" Happy I did! GREAT SERVICE! John is most courteous, gracious and funny. Most important John asked if he could address my Service Dog! THANK YOU!! for understanding about Service Dogs!! Dogs were a wonderful segue into a comforting conversation; John delighted in sharing his dog who attended his wedding. Awww, I loved it and took a photo just to show his thoughtfulness. Kind hearted service ensures people will return, we felt appreciated with no rush, breathe and eat (what a concept). John served me some tea with lemon and HONEY, how did he know? John is a conscientious waiter who knows his customers especially on snowy Colorado days! The food is GOOD!!! I was hesitant to have "fried food" it was GOOD, Aspen was the original tester - Gobbled the Fried Shrimp and Onion Ring. The nice size shrimp was succulent - tender with a crunchy crisp outside with a nice homemade sauce. The onion rings were LARGE! The onion perfectly cooked with a wonderful crunchy crust. Aspen eats my food, I can't get through a meal without her help! The ambiance: Very welcoming! Would be great for groups, family night or afternoon out with the kids. Welcoming to those who are mobile challenged, no fuss about messes as I watch John clean up after customers with a genuine smile. This is a Restaurant filled with choices and options of fish, old time concept that never died, THANK YOU! They have the bibs - plenty of napkins, wet napkins to clean up, NO RUSH!! Enjoy yourself and company. Perfectly attentive with humor. Really appreciated the common curtsy of sharing his dog photos, sharing a bit of his wedding moments, for I was in deep thought and required a bit of lighting up the day. The entire restaurant is large yet privacy is offered, very obvious this is a Seafood House by the old rules! Nice Touch! Thank you for your time and good food

I love a good seafood boil and this place has it! We started with their crabmeat fries... yes. They were LOADED with crab meat and the fries were super hot and fresh. Next my boyfriend got the fried seafood combo and I made my own boil with their house blend seasoning and it was delicious. The portions were big so we took home lots of left overs. Johnny took care of us. He was super friendly and helped wish suggestions. We felt very welcomed here and can't wait to come back!

Came here early afternoon on with my sister and there were only a few tables seated. Our waiter was so good and funny. He came over to ask if we wanted bibs and noticed that I had put a napkin there, we all laughed and he brought some over. I think that the amount is good for the price! The spice that they use are their house blend is unique, it has a bbq-y flavor. Not my favorite but still pretty good. The entire restaurant is covered with amazing decor. Giant sea creatures and TV everywhere. The kids will love it. I totally plan on coming back! Overall, 4/5 stars! :)

I have to start out by saying this was a choice made by my son for his Birthday and I gave him a hard time. Well the doubt is gone now great choice and even better service. The food was delicious the family (Wife and Two boys 12 & 10) order the Double Double and it was delicious a ton of food. My oldest ordered build your own two snow crab and Head off shrimp Cajun spicy again delicious and plenty for one. I went basic Shrimp po boy but man it hit the spot. I would say overall the food was a 10/10 but to add to it the Service by John and team was the one upper. They killed it and over delivered. Highly recommend visiting! Great Job Pier 8 team

Stopped by on a whim as we were passing by. The decor featured a fun nautical theme. I was pleasantly surprised to see they offered an all-you-can-eat seafood menu, which I would have loved to partake in, but we were only slightly hungry--not enough for all-you-can-eat. We will definitely be back to try that option. We ordered a variety of different foods off the menu. I had a seafood boil, which consisted of mussels, crab legs, and shrimp. The house sauce I chose was extremely flavorful and delicious. My kids had the chicken tenders, which they seemed to enjoy. I also had the fried oysters, which came with sweet potato fries and shrimp cocktail sauce. They were tasty, but I wished they had given me tartar sauce. My husband had the flounder po' boy, which was very tasty. My friend ordered a margarita, which was both tasty and strong. I had a cute little mocktail served in a fish bowl that included a small shark containing grenadine to pour into the drink. Overall, I had a great experience and will be back.

This is the kind of place where you wish your stomach was bigger. We walked inside and greeted immediately. The restaurant has a fun ocean vibe. Lots of photo opportunities here. We came on a late Thursday afternoon so we were seated quickly. The prices were reasonable for a seafood boil. We chose the Captain's feast with snow crab and shrimp with the house special blend sauce (which is a blend of all the sauces). It came out in a very cool presentation. Our server was 100% right, that sauce was amazing. It's kind of sauce that made you just wanna bust out a spoon and eat it straight. The shrimp was large and plump, the crab came out into good size clusters. The corn and potatoes went perfect with the sauce. Excellent seafood. Excellent service. Fun atmosphere. Next time we are in the area, we'll be back!!
