Food was great. Fried fish had light brown color from obviously fresh out. Service was great. Clean restaurant and nice family atmosphere. Prices were awesome. Quantities were above average. I would definitely visit on our next trip out. read more

Everything was amazing. Food was wonderful! Service was outstanding! Beautiful decorations! I wish I could give them higher than five stars.

My husband and I really love Pier 51. The people are friendly and treat you as if you're family. The food is wonderful. You would never leave hungry. They have the best seafood around. I recommend them all the time. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Pier 51 Seafood Restaurant - Badly overcooked sweet potato - Seafood Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

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. read more

Pier 51 Seafood Restaurant - Salad was great until I bit down on this. Some kind of plastic?? I probably won't order there again - Seafood Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

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. read more

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 read more

Pier 51 Seafood Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

I'm not sure what was going on today, but I waited for so long that I just left. I was really wanting some fish but this place was so piss pore ran, that I'll just drive to Harrisburg next time then waist time here. PS for having so many people walking in and out of the kitchen, you would think some of them would come out and help set people. read more

First time and last time. Waited for what seemed like forever to be seated while there were so many tables open. Appeared as no one was working. One of the ladies said several people quit due to bad management. Food was over cooked and salty. All over very messy experience and won't recommend to others. read more

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 read more

Pier 51 Seafood Restaurant - Hush Puppies - Seafood Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

Ordered shrimp fried light. They came out very overcooked. When I told them they were not light. They said they couldn't do anything about that. Never stated being cooked light as an issue and just brought out whatever. Did not offer to comp meal or make replacement. Very dissatisfied read more

I LOVE their shrimp and hush puppies!!!! I have been here a few times now and have never left unhappy. My brother eats here at minimum 3 times a week. Since I live in New York I can only come here once or twice a year but I ALWAYS want to stop here for good seafood! The service is great and the waitress had a smile on her face. She was super personable. The atmosphere is calming but reminds me of old school seafood places which feel like home. The food was great and the sweet tea was tasty. I highly recommend! read more

I really enjoyed their combination platters that they offer. I loved their calabash shrimp and baby flounder platter. They give you nice portions for your money and they are friendly with great customer service. They also have delicious desserts too. Check them out when you can. You will not be disappointed. read more

Staff is great. Food is very good. Good prices! Repeat customers for many reasons. Caroline's broiled platter is wonderful!

So the food is alright and they charge a admin fee lol I've never heard of that before everyone is struggling but you wanna charge an admin fee on top of everything else just for eating at your restaurant that's crazy read more

Stopped in at Pier 51 for some Friday night seafood. My family loves Pier 51, the food is so fresh and the service is great. There's usually no wait to be seated, unless you come on Saturday during dinner time or Sunday where family's and groups come after church and there's a discount if you bring the church bulletin and they give a daily 10% senior discount. read more

Delicious food & Awesome servers. Try them, you'll love the good. We are usually there every Friday. read more

Food was delicious!!!! But the doors going into and out of the kitchen are ANNOYING!!! Very loud !!! Made my meal miserable!!!

20 minutes wait when half the restaurant was empty poor customer service limited menu don't waste your time

The crab is always amazing!!! It's always seasoned so nice 10/10!!! Service is always nice they're always so sweet!!! I love how the store is decorated it reminds me of the beach! read more

First of all the food was delicious. It was fresh, hot and served at the perfect temp.I ordered OFF menu! Yes, the owner/chef made a special chicken dish for me- smothered chicken tenders! These were no ordinary tenders, not some frozen product sold in bulk. No, these were hand cut, breaded, then fried and SMOTHERED with the best gravy, onion and mushroom combo!! I can't rave enough about how good it was. We were a party of 4 and everyone loved thier food! The staff was EXCEPTIONAL!! It's a very unassuming place, the building is older, but VERY CLEAN!! Iwould DEFINITELY reccomend eating here again and again, because this was my first visit, but it won't be my last!! read more

Once upon a time, this was a Chinese Buffet. Big Improvement. This location has been many things over the years but generally set up for a Buffet. At the same time, Pier 51 was always an excellent Seafood Restaurant on NC Hwy 51 aka Pineville- Matthews Road hence the name. Since this location opened as a Pier 51, I've wanted to try it and today we were in the Concord area doing some last minutes shopping and ended up here. Still in the last stages of remodeling with the outside being given another coat of fresh paint but the place is looking good with an attractive make over. Walked in and were immediately seated. Since I am on crutches due to a hip injury, they seated me at a nice booth with easy access to everything. Loved the menu with something for everyone. Nice salad bar and we both started with that. Limited selection of dressings but they do have all of the basics. I ordered the create your own combo with Salt and Pepper Catfish and Oysters prepared the same way with a baked potato with butter and sour cream. Excellent choice, particularly the oysters Wife had stuffed crabs with friend okra. Must say their portion sizes are generous. Almost a standard NC fish camp atmosphere which made for a great dining experience. Our server was excellent the whole time we were there, read more

I had not visited this restaurant since pre-Covid. It is no longer a buffet which is actually a good thing. The prices are reasonable and the food is good. Unfortunately, the server we had was horrible and the "manager" was apologetic but really no help. It took about 30 minutes to get our meal and the server rolled her eyes when we asked for more hush puppies while we waited. She never brought any back but the "manager" did after we caught her dashing through the restaurant looking for another customers requested condiments. We had to track someone down for drink refills and boxes for our left overs. read more

It's good and I love the food The shrimp and Dr pepper is just great tttt I love pier 51 you should come and try their food read more

Our party of four sat down and placed our order and after waiting an hour listening to many excuses from the waitress we finally gave up and walked out. One person in our party ordered the same AYCE fish that I ordered. He got his original order and even his reorder ate and we still didn't have any food. There were several other tables that had sat down after us and they were done eating and we still never got any food. They weren't that busy and their excuses contradicted the other excuses they were giving. read more

My first impression was disappointment. I saw the prices and had initially thought that it would be a better bang for your buck. BUT when I realized you get the salad bar with every meal, and hush puppies, that changes everything. Especially when the salad bar includes potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw, ham bacon CEASAR dressing and the salad was the freshest I've ever seen on a salad bar. Now I am a huge fan of places with large portions for modest prices, so this place was a huge win for me. Got the seafood trio with shrimp flounder and deviled crab. Got the salt and pepper breading which made it better than normal breading. Baked potato was not an upcharge from fries (thanks for not nickel and dining me!) Could only eat half due to filling up on salad bar and hush puppies. Good service nice atmosphere. What more could you want. Go here now. read more

Best seafood ever.the staff are all so nice.its always clean have never seen an unhappy face there, yet it is not loud or too quiet

Hush puppies were very good. I honestly didn't even know what to order. Noting caught my eye.

Heard about this place from my brother, who like l is a road warrior. I have had two lunch to go meals within the month of October. Flounder, fries, hush puppies and slaw. Nothing disappointed me, very lite breading on the flounder...fresh tasting, like flounder should. Puppies were very good...and l have chosen Many A BBQ places based on their puppies! I did the drive thru, handled well! I am headed to an AM meeting in Charlotte...looking forward to lunch at the Pier! read more

Great service, clean Resturant and food was excellent. We had the broiled grouper off the special board, and the wife had flounder and shrimp combo plate. Both were extremely delicious and tasty with just the right amount of seasonings. Our waitress Briton was great even though she had a very large party at the same time. Will be back for more!! read more

What a perfect homestyle family friendly seafood restaurant. When you first walk in you will be greeted by a friendly hostess. Restaurant have two sides. It's pretty big. The prices are not to pricey. One of the things that I love about this restaurant is that on Saturdays ( I don't know if it's everyday thing) they have a ALL CAN EAT SALAD BAR WITH YOUR MEAL!!!!!!! How Awesome read more

Food is very Good. Staff is well trained. I would like to have a Pier 1 in Kannapolis.

This restaurant offers a great selection of seafood. First, start with the crab dip or the oyster stew. The New England Clam Chowder is so good with plenty of clams and just the right combination of potatoes and cream. Then, move on to catfish, oysters, and crab legs. No worries for the non-seafood eaters. This restaurant also offers fettuccine alfredo, chicken tenders, steaks, and hamburger steaks. This is a good for the whole family place. Don't forget the specials for great food at a cost affordable price. read more

Enjoyed the seafood platter plenty of shrimp green an large included scallops an oysters usually have to pay extra for had stuff crab also very nice. Will be back read more
