Hi my friend and I had dinner at Pier 51 on yesterday. Athough, I have seen this restaurant sitting here for years. I had never tried it. I'm glad that I decided to try it. We dined in and our server was Harmoni. She was very pleasant, upbeat and friendly and mind you the restaurant closed in one hour when we were seated. Because it was both of our first time visiting here it was hard to decide on what we should order. Harmoni made suggestions and gave honest feedback about the menu. I ordered a grill seafood platter with collard greens and broccoli. The food is prepared fresh to order, and it was very good without being too salty. My friend ordered a fried seafood platter with fish and oysters. I would like to come back here much more often but most likely I will just order on DoorDash. Harmoni and the young girl with braids had great customer service, but "everyone" else was just kind of subpar. The manager never walked around and asked us about our visit which I am used to experiencing with a dine in restaurant.

Badly overcooked sweet potato

First visit not good! Onion Rings were luke warm and very hard - onions fried to a crisp! Baked sweet potato way overcooked (peel was charcoal black). Asked to return, waitress stated " that's how all the sweet potatoes look". However the flounder & shrimp was tasty & cooked well. No plans to ever return!

Salad was great until I bit down on this.  Some kind of plastic?? I probably won't order there again

I have ordered there before without any issues. Today I bit down on something in my shrimp salad. I can't identify it. Looks/feels like some kind of plastic.

The food here is consistently good. The entrees all arrived hot and nicely seasoned. We appreciate that they do not cut through the aluminum foil wrapped around the baked potatoes. The salads are freshly made and the prices are reasonable. However the service was unusually slow and tables had not been bussed from the previous rush, which was not typical for this restaurant. I hope this was a one-off event for the restaurant's usual clean floors and tables and not the new standard. I would hate a business with great food is impacted by uncleanliness. I'll definitely give them another chance to correct it by my next visit.

What you see is a plate of jumbo shrimp, fried catfish and perch with a sweet potato and hush puppies. Overall, the fish was crispy and not soaked in grease. So was the shrimp. I just need a sprinkle of old bay or something. The sweet potato and butter was good. I would probably return to try other areas.....mini old bay in tow.   #GratuityAdded  #CharlotteEats #Pier51 #CabarrusEats #CabarrusGotALot #hwy29 #charlottefood #charlottenc #cltfoodie #charlottefoodie #friendfish  #charlottesgotalot #exploreclt #charlottefoodies  #cltfoodies #ConcordEats #cltfoodbloggers  #charlottefoodguide  #charlottefoodblogger #eatdrinkconcord

Fried Flounder Fillet and Fried Calabash Shrimp Special Dinner, Sweet Potato Casserole, Fried Okra

I recently returned from a business trip and decided to try them out. Always drove past, my husband and I thought they closed. We were greeted and our waitress was so sweet! She made sure we had everything we needed and have suggestions. The food reminded me of the fish camps back at home: the portion size is huge and the food was AMAZING!!! Everything was fresh and she even recommended this red slaw which was delicious!!!! I had the flounder and calabash shrimp plate with okra and sweet potato casserole! I RECOMMEND!!!! I even had leftover! We went right when they opened so people were coming in but the ambience was great! We are definitely coming back!!!! 10/10

Everything was outstanding. The flounder and shrimp were fried to perfection--crispy on the outside, light and flaky on the inside, and not greasy at all. The sides were just as memorable. The collard greens were tender and full of flavor, and the mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and cheesy--exactly what you'd hope to find at a great church potluck. The restaurant has a quaint, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff couldn't have been sweeter. Great food, friendly service, and a cozy setting made for a fantastic meal. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend Annie's Fish & Fixins!

I HIGHLY recommend!!!…read more They did not disappoint. I went in for croaker sandwich and service was prompt and friendly. ow let's get to my meal... I ordered the fried croaker sandwich and instead of french fries I subbed it for coleslaw and lemonade to wash it down with. The croaker was fried perfectly!! I haven't had fish fried for me like that in a while and it was delicious. I ate every bite! The coleslaw was freshly made, and the lemonade was sweet to taste. The inside is extremely spacious and very clean. The ambience was very comfy for me to eat my lunch. I will be back sooner than later and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!!

I was tinch nervous when I saw it juicy, (because of don't eat wet bread) but it was soooo good and buttery-ish, with a creamy Cajun sauce. I also had charbroiled oysters for the first time, not my favorite, but edible and full of flavor! (texture thing) I also had a piece of Fried Flounder and the Shrimp & Grits. Everything was so full of flavor. Had the Tropical Moon, the Pina Colada Mimosa and the Cherry Lemon Sun drop with Jim Beam (no vodka), Margarita Mimosa... sooo good! Izzie was my waitress extraordinaire for the time, along with some of her friendly colleagues! Top notch! I will definitely be back! The atmosphere was light and lively at the same time!

That had me but at 105° it was too hot. So, we got the cute fisherman's isle seats in the back. She's 5' so bar height seats are uncomfortable and akwars for her. I wasn't a fan of the layout. I think they wasted space. We tried their char-grilled Oysters, grilled crab cake, and she had several if the Oysters; Tripple D, Pink Moon and Bay Breeze being her favorite. The house Oysters were not. I tried the char and they're good. Decent profile but they're cooked so it make sense. Not New Orleans style char but good flavor. The crab cake was delicious. For the price it was huge. I was very impressed as I loved the flavor and texture. It has a lot of filler but the seasoning took me out, in a good way. Now, they provide a yummy German potato salad that I thought was really good. Its warmed up seasoned chunky potato with no flair. The coleslaw was trash though. It looks beautifully seasoned but its a vinegar based and lacks the creamy flavor depth you're used too. They do change the menu frequently. I got a chance to see a few others plates and was very impressed. There are a few other items I would love to try, Specifically the pasta! Our waitress wasn't the best but the shucker and bus boy were both great. Very friendly and energetic. Definitely not an upscale establishment as jeans and a tee are perfect. I would definitely come back!

Seaboy - Mushroom toast

I rarely write reviews, and I've already written one for Seaboy, but this place deserves another…read more The night started with a complimentary scallop toast: crisp, sesame-crusted, topped with fried garlic and scallions. It was such a thoughtful touch and a perfect start. Next came the mushroom toast, which is one of our all-time favorites. It's rich, savory and earthy, served on perfectly charred bread, and we order it every single time. Then the whole branzino arrived, beautifully charred and topped with fresh herbs and chili, with blistered shishitos and grilled lemon alongside. It was flaky, flavorful and absolutely delicious. As always, the service was top-notch: warm, attentive and never rushed. Seaboy is one of Cornelius's true gems, so whatever you do, don't skip the mushroom toast!

Outstanding experience. I heard it was amazing and quite possibly the best restaurant in Lake…read moreNorman and I have to agree. Everything was excellent from the moment we walked in. The table was ready and ours for the evening. We were seated on the porch and were very comfortable there. We enjoyed the service from the recommendations to the banter. It really added to the experience. The food was phenomenal. We opted for a few small plates and one entree to share. This allowed room for dessert! Everything on the menu seemed perfectly crafted. Many unexpected dishes that we want to try. We ordered the heirloom tomato dish (a special), the sablefish, the brussel sprouts, and the yellowfin crudo. All of that left room for the deconstructed key lime pie. Delicious. Worth of reservations. Prime times book up and can book up a month out. They have an oyster happy hour, $2 oysters. I am unsure of the details on that. For reference, our meal with drinks was just over $170 for 3 people.
