What an awesome place to visit, large parking and huge dining area. Service was quick and constant, hushpuppies and drinks from the start. Very large menu but we couldn't resist the seafood! Shrimp was perfect calabash style, oysters and fish cooked just right. Servings were very big and the prices were very fair! Had much more to list but the truth is it was all 5 star comments from everyone. Our server was incredible, always pleasant and kept our glasses full. Saturday afternoon, busy but not too bad. Visit Pier 41 with confidence, it doesn't disappoint! read more

Pier 41 Seafood is a popular place in Lumberton, NC. It is family-owned and opened back in 2007. They have calabash-style seafood. They have a large parking lot with numbered spots, so you don't forget where you parked. The decor is casual and unassuming. It is a large place, though. It can seat 220 guests and has both booths and tables. I dined here for brunch, but you order from the all-day menu. I read to go early to avoid a wait. Service was friendly, but the goal seemed to be to turn the tables quickly, so many customers left with to-go boxes. Well, I was on the road, so I couldn't go, so they had to wait for me to finish. I ordered the flounder with a baked potato, and it came with hush puppies. The food was really good, and I would have ordered dessert too, but I wasn't asked or even finished with my meal when the bill was dropped off. I liked my food, and the prices were reasonable. I don't like feeling rushed, though and like to enjoy my meal. Payment is taken at the front register. I paid cash because I wasn't sure whether they took credit cards, since that register was closed. By the time I got through the line and got change for the tip, people were already seated at my table. So I had to find my waitress to leave my tip. I might return again when it is less busy. read more

Dined here this past weekend with some family and everyone loved their food! Our server was super accommodating and so attentive. We all ordered various seafood dishes including fried oysters, scallops, flounder, shrimp, and deviled crab. All of the seafood was fresh and served piping hot. The baked potato was cooked perfectly as well as the fries. The hush puppies here are some of the best I've had in NC, crispy and delicious! We arrived shortly after opening on Sunday and it didn't take long for the restaurant to fill up yet our service never suffered. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town. read more

The service here was amazing. Our server is one of the sweetest southern women you'll meet. The food, however, left much to be desired. My family & I travel through here just to get to Hilton Head Island, SC from VA. I like that it's a nice family friendly diner open late and good for traveling through to your next destination... But here's what we had and whether or not you'll like it. Grilled salmon... decent, not super memorable. The flavor was fine and it was cooked well. The hush puppies weren't my fave - they're the kind that look like scraps rather than golf balls. The deviled crab is interesting. I want fond of the flavor or texture - it's closer to deviled crab fritter than anything. The garden salad is mostly iceberg, but it did the trick to get some greens in me for the travels ahead. The fried dishes seem to be the specialty, so I'd recommend a fried platter if you're interested in something quick & tasty. read more

We chose to eat at Pier 41 Seafood because of the excellent reviews. My first impression was good. The restaurant was clean: tables, booths, and floors! We were seated as soon as we arrived. We were brought a basket of delicious hush puppies as soon as we sat down. They were some of the best I've ever had. I ordered: flounder, baked potato, and slaw. My husband ordered: bbq ribs, baked potato and a toss salad. We were well pleased. Our waitress was top notched. She checked on us often, and offered us refills on our unsweetened tea, several times. When I'm in the area, I'll visit Pier 41 Restaurant again. read more

Pier 41 Seafood - Delicious hush puppies - Seafood Near Me - Lumberton, North Carolina

Ordered on phone and told it would be ready 15 min in the back. I waited 50 minutes and counted 12 cars came in got order and left. Finally stopped girl and told her it had been that long and wanted refund. She came back and said they told her it was ready. I said I want my money back. If it was ready it should have been brought out. Food is generally good but something always wrong with the order. I'm just tired of this mess. read more

My family not happy and to Pier 41 seafood in Lumberton North Carolina many many times. We have never had any problem one year we went from my mom's birthday we had 20 head of people one waitress plus she had her normal tables, she was a champ she was a great waitress. My parents go tonight other customers that come in after them got their hush puppies first and food first. My mom got me a to go order I wanted baked potato and cocktail sauce with my order, my mom let the waitress read the text that I sent her what I wanted I didn't get a baked potato I got fries we live almost an hour from Lumberton who in their right mind is going to get fries that are going to be cold when you live in our way. I am not happy and I do not know if I'll be going back read more

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! Ms Vickie was a wonderful server, kind and friendly. Restaurant was clean. Loved the christian music playing. Pleasure meeting Darryl, one of locals...thank you for your years of service to our country! read more

Joined the family to celebrate my Father for his birthday. This location is a place I've visited since childhood and can say the space is still familiar with some updates to the interior. We were accommodated for a party of 60+ and the servers were efficient with drink orders and assuring our needs were met. The reserved space was booked for about 3 hours and provided ample space. They even made sure each table had fresh hush puppies as starters! The menu is made up of your typical fried, boiled/broiled seafood platters. They also offer selections such as chicken tenders, bbq, and sandwiches for those who prefer other options. I appreciate that the orders were out in a timely manner. My order had a delay but was resolved quickly. I ordered the house special (trout/shrimp/oyster) that came with fries, slaw and hushpuppies. Unfortunately, the food lacked in flavor and portion sizes. I couldn't decipher from any of the fried foods on my plate. This wouldn't be a top choice for me but this restaurant does cater to many locals who love the place and have for the years it's been around. Thanks again to the wonderful staff for accommodating my family. read more

Our first visit was on Sunday. We were not expecting the crowd that we encountered. The food was well worth the wait. The servings were large and tasty. The hush puppy appetizer was absolutely delicious. The service was fast and friendly and everything was extremely clean. As senior citizens we watch our pennies. The value was excellent and we plan on going back for more! read more

Local joint that meets or exceeds the beach restaurants. I have never had a bad experience here and my new gig is the seafood gumbo. The only possible change I would recommend would be a soup (gumbo) and sandwich combo. No fries or slaw just a nice Sammie and gumbo read more

We got the deluxe seafood broil. It was decent. The dish came with fish, scallop, shrimp, crab cake, and oysters on a sizzling plate. It was the saving grace of this dinner. I do not recommend the clam chowder though. It was the saddest clam chowder I ever had. Watery and holds no flavor at all. The alfredo pasta was also not good. I guess thats what pasta at a seafood restaurant gets you. read more

Ambiance was nice; homey and comfortable. The service was great southern hospitality and I have no complaints as far as that. My main disappointment was the food. I ordered a fried flounder fish sandwich and it came super fast. I was so excited to try it because it looked delicious; however, it tasted like straight oil and was very greasy. When I picked the sandwich up oil was dripping from the fish and there was no flavor in the breading at all. Everything else I ordered: fries and a house salad, were good! The grilled items, like the salmon or chicken, look good, so if I go again, I might just get that. read more

Stopped in on our way to Charleston. It was twenty minutes before closing. The staff was friendly and welcoming. But the food is the reason to go. The seafood was fresh and well prepared. I had the broiled seafood platter. The portion was enormous. The fried shrimp platter came with about twenty shrimp. Definitely worth a stopover. Great family friendly seafood restaurant Website read more

Always get great service and never had a bad meal. Staff is always family friendly. Definitely a social atmosphere

My sister and I had lunch here for her birthday. Like always the food was on point and my waitress Mikayla was the sweetest. The employees are always so welcoming and working hard. I never see anyone standing around with nothing to do. They keep it spotless and clean. Always happy to visit Pier 41!! read more

Nice spot. First time as an adult in North Carolina. Wanted some bbq or seafood. It was slim pickins for bbq so seafood it was. Babe got fried clams strips with fries. He said they were ok. I got small seafood platter with flounder, shrimp and tilapia with fries. Needed some old bay or lemon pepper but that's just my taste. Both platters came with cole slaw and hush puppies. Didn't care for the hush puppies. Nice strip. You drive around back, park in a numbered space and someone comes to take your order or your name if you called it in. To be fair we didn't eat right away so that could have mattered. I didn't get a picture of his food. Would visit again. read more

This used to be a great place to eat while visiting our family. We waited approx 30 min after signing in & were NOT seated as others bypassed us. Fam who frequent the place were told we could not sit at a 6 chair table as there were 5 of us & they sat 1 man at the other 6 chair table ' because he comes here all the time'' .shameful! Better service & food at local Italian place! read more

I highly suggest this restaurant. The employees are amazing and very helpful. And went out of their way to help me. This is the ONLY restaurant I would go to. read more

As soon as we were seated a basket of hush puppies was brought to our table. I ordered shrimp with one catfish ($11.95) with sweet potato fries and cole slaw. My husband had one piece of fried flounder ($10.95). Although our seafood was fried it was not greasy. The restaurant was very busy on Sunday at 12;30. The line for seating moved quickly. The restaurant was very clean. read more

Great food, we were in the Lumberton area on a business trip and decided that we wanted to stop in here for a bite, not knowing anything about the place except the name we took a chance. So glad we did, we were surprised by the cafeteria style dining and the fact that we were probably a the youngest patrons there told us that we were on a good spot. The wait staff were super friendly, my colleague and I both ordered the broiled dinners, they were absolutely amazing, food was hot, super flavorful and the portions were perfect! I had the seafood platter and as I mentioned, from portions to flavor, the platter was on point! Definitely recommend this spot when you are in the Lumberton area. read more

Really good family seafood restaurant with a family atmosphere. Megan L our Waitress was very friendly and attentive. Clam chowder was very good. Shrimp and Scallops were delicious and very generous portions. Hush puppies were great. Would definately come back here again read more

The cocktail sauce doesnt seem to have hotsauce in it anymore. Thank you for fixing this.

I had the salmon and honestly it was very bad. Hush puppies were good but honestly I'm not going to be returning any time soon. Service was good. And the environment was good. read more

The fried seafood platter was a little greasy for my liking and the clam chowder could have been hotter. Overall service was good.

Fresh and hot seafood! My favorite is the shrimp fries and hush puppies and don't forget the tartar sauce! The service is amazing they are all so friendly and the service is fast. You never have to sit and wait for long periods of time. From the time you order your food and sit and mingle for a few minutes your food is coming out. They also make sure your cup is never empty. Very good service and food! read more

I placed an online order on February 14, 2023 around 1:15pm.I picked up my order which was hot and tempting on the ride back home.I had ordered a small shrimp with fries, but I wasn't too hungry then.My intentions were to pick up my plate for a late dinner that night.Boy was I in for a surprise later on.I prepared said plate in it's original take-home plate in my microwave that night.Then I sat down to eat.After the first few bites I began to notice how gritty the shrimp were tasting.I thought at first I was just overthinking,so I took a few more bites.Not only was my entire plate gritty I suddenly realized that the shrimp I had began to devour HAD NOT BEEN WASHED BEFORE COOKING!!!!...I was so angry I threw the entire plate in the trash!Over $13.00 of my money wasted on a full plate of dirty fried shrimp! Pier 41???...I am really disappointed in YOU! read more

My favorite place to eat when I visit home. The fish and hush puppies are the best I've tasted through my travels.

All the above food and atmosphere the food service the waitresses were very helpful;We did not have to wait very long for our food.

Very good seafood and great service, prices were excellent only complaint is that no adult beverages are available.

I visited this place while I was visiting my new home in Chadbourn NC. We were told that this is the place to eat and that the food is great and that we would not be disappointed if we were to go and eat there. We found it to be a very nice place and everything that was said about it was true and more. The food, the hospitality, the waiter, the price and everything was great from start to finish. I can't wait to go back again and will recommend everyone that I meet in this area to go check it out. Please don't change but keep on doing what you are doing because you'll are the greatest. I will never forget my experience at Pier 41 Seafood read more

The food could have been fried harder needed salt. I had popcorn shrimp, scallops and trout, hubby had spots. I don't understand why everything was crowded on such a small plate. The temperature was ok. Cole slaw was a no for both of us. Hush puppies good prices very reasonable. Staff not overly friendly. Scallops were a good size. read more

Loved the seafood platter and the hush puppies were outstanding!! I will definitely return next time I'm in the area! read more
