Appetizer came out after entree and soaking in oil. Entree was bland, what should have been crust was mush. Worst service and meal I ever had in Hattiesburg. read more

Long over date night - Pier 98 was recommended by friend - and we can't wait to be back! Even tho I'm still full and have fridge full of leftovers, still looking forward to our next visit!! This will be our only place in H'BURG to eat dinner! Locally owned and operated makes it even more worth supporting! We had crab stuffed ribeye, ahi tuna nachos, boom boom shrimp and lots more ... we're admittedly steak snobs - but this may be the best EVER!!! The nachos and shrimp would make you slap yo mama! The steak would make you hurt the neighborhood! Haha! Great prices ... great food ... amazing staff!!! Kitchen, bar, host, wait staff - all were amazing - as we all know a bad staff can make great food bad ... no fear of that here!!!! Recommend to friends, family, anyone!! Thanks for making our overdue date night amazing ... and then some!!!! We'll see you soon!!! Thanks Heather & staff!! (I can not believe some of the reviews I'm reading - if I could give 10 stars I would! This was one of the best meals maybe ever while eating out ... and staff could not have been more perfect and polite and fun!!! I wish more people with good experiences would take time to review - they deserve sooooo much higher overall review stats!!!! Our new fav!!!) read more

This is a fun local eatery... I like the live music on Friday nights. Try the alligator and jalapeño appetizers. I think it's a must have in Mississippi. We also like to bring our stainless steel Pier 98 flasks For $6 draft refills. Order the catch of the day and the crab Mac and cheese. Grouper with lump crab meat has been one of my favorites. read more

Terrible experience. My wife and I went to Pier 98 tonight because we've been hearing how terrific their steaks are. I was shocked by the prices and I'm not paying $49 for a 16 oz ribeye. My wife ate the steak and said it was good. I had the roast beef po-boy, which was terrible. I didn't finish it. The check arrives and it's $116.68, as we'd had an appetizer and drinks, but then I notice a "$4.48 non cash adjustment". So they charged me $4.48 just to swipe my card, which only costs them about .30¢ in transaction fees...another $4.00+ in profit for them. I'll never return to this restaurant again. read more

Reminds me of back home in Louisiana. Great selection of food. Everything we ordered was perfectly cooked. Live music--LOVED. Crawfish were great for a restaurant. Don't expect spicy but rather seasoned flavor which is great to appeal to a larger crowd. I like mine extra spicy but these had a nice garlic savory flavor. Good assortment of oysters. Very fresh tasting! Filet Mignon to rival Zack Garvin's. My only slight pick was we waited a bit to be seated with open tables and people walking by us. Someone from the back advised someone to seat us. It could have just been an off night though. Luckily we didn't let the awkward waiting get in the way of having some amazing food! read more

Food is usually good but quality, price and business practices are getting out of hand. They nickel and dime you to death for to go orders and don't even provide cutlery.+$1 charge if your meal is "fried" instead of broiled (the menu says either or). "Premium" sides are +$1 - since when is lettuce and potatoes premium sides?! +$1 if your order is to go. Okay...then they add tax which is fine. Then on top of fees and taxes they add 20% gratuity for all to go orders! Plus an additional fee if paying with a debit card. The last time I ordered a shrimp meal, a few of the shrimp were sour ~ and their website menu says $16 but they charged me $21. Final bill was over $30 for one shrimp meal. read more

Overpriced for what you get. Food is just ok. Service is meh. Better seafood, better service, better atmosphere other places.

This place has been open for a few years, but I've not made it over until today. That was my first mistake, I should have been here the day they opened. We had the esplanade egg rolls I believe is what they were called and the things pictured. Y'all don't skip this. Best burger in Hattiesburg by a long shot in my opinion. The atmosphere is fun and casual but still nice enough to come for a special event. The bathrooms are spotless(which is huge). Don't miss what they turned into bar stools! Don't make plans for after because you want me able to move you'll be so stuffed. Will be back to try more and report back! Oh and staff were super friendly and attentive 10 out of 10 read more

This used to be one of my favorite local places but has gone downhill and I won't go back. I recently ordered a $56 filet mignon cooked medium. What they brought me more closely resembled a charcoal briquette than a steak. 70% of it was very well done, and the other 30% was medium rare. Usually I would've sent it back for correction after I cut into it, but the fact they even served it to me charred black told me they found this acceptable. read more

Absolutely love this place. Food is great. The steaks are the best in town and there are many places in town that claim to have the best steaks. The seafood is delicious as well the shrimp tacos are super yummy The Royal Reds are cooked to perfection. Two for one beers on Tuesdays and Thursdays is nice! Definitely worth the visit! read more

OMG!! Tonight's meal was a complete disaster and unfortunately our server was thrown under the bus by the kitchen staff and the owners, as well as the restaurant being understaffed. If you're understaffed, perhaps you should limit the patrons...just a thought! If your menu shows the prices you should take a picture for evidence. Our menu showed the prices of the steaks. Unfortunately when we received the bill, the prices we were charged were about $20 more than what we saw on the menu. I went to retrieve a menu as evidence and that menu and others had a piece of paper over the prices that said "market prices." The menu we ordered from did not have that market price statement. How were we to know any different? So naturally we thought we were going to be paying the prices we saw. That is just one example. Here's another, my sister ordered a very well done steak and I ordered a different type of steak to be prepared medium. She received her steak nearly raw and mine was well done. I finally got my steak just before we left. Mind you as the server brought my steak she commented that we would not be charged for it. The side salad, a Caesar, I ordered came with croutons even though I asked that there be no croutons (my husband's salad had no croutons), then I take a bite. Yowzers! Was I eating a salad at the beach? There was grit all in my mouth from the salad. I asked my husband to take a bite and he agreed. It was a very fine grit all in your teeth...grinding away. YUCK! We alerted the server and were told by a manager (?) that they infused a certain cheese into their homemade Caesar dressing and that it's supposed to be that way. What? What cheese is gritty like sand and doesn't dissolve? My husband ordered another beverage, it never got to him and my niece and her husband ordered a bread pudding dessert. It never made it to them. Now comes time for the bill. This dining experience at Pier 98 in Hattiesburg was very regrettable! We will NOT be returning to this establishment!! If you do go to this restaurant and don't care what you pay for anything, they do have great tasting, tender filet mignons. You just need to get it prepared to your liking and it would be nice to eat it along with those you are dining. Also, if you like/love roasted bacon and Brussels sprouts, there's are super delicious! read more

Excellent food, fabulous cocktails, and lovely southern creole atmosphere! Be sure to visit this local establishment!

The steak was amazing! Ahi tuna nachos and the seafood platter were really good as well. The fried cheesecake is to die for!

The food is great and plentiful. Our waiter Rob was attentive, prompt, and friendly. Highly recommend.

We've been several times in the last year. Food is average to good. Service is sometimes slow. If you ask for water you're brought a bottled water, for a charge. I told the server I just wanted water and not bottled water. She said their fountain was broken. I said water from the tap is fine, she said they couldn't do that. Obviously they can but choose not to do so. The ramekin for the salad dressing was less than half full. I asked for more dressing and was told their is a charge for additional dressing. I told her if she filled up the ramekin with the dressing I wouldn't need more. There are other examples of The nickel and dime thing they do. That's a real turn off. Last night we were seated in the room where the guitarist played. He was incredibly loud, I couldn't hear my dinner companions even when they shouted. We requested to sit in the other side of the restaurant. We were told it would be a while, so we left. read more

Had my birthday dinner last night wife and I had the 16oz Ribeye son had the pizza cooked to perfection delicious loaded baked potatoe was yummy , ceaser salad was awesome and the tuna nachos where fabulous. Bartender Sara was awesome as usual had a Great meal . Recommend highly read more

Always a great meal ! Great bar staff and waitresses! However be careful to ask price if you order raw oysters! I was shocked when I ordered a dozen! They were so small ( nickel to quarter size) and were $42 a dozen! So what if they are from New England ! I would much rather have Gulf oysters anyway and they aren't available. read more

Recently found this little jewl when I was dispatched to a plumbing problem in the kitchen. From working in many commercial kitchens I don't usually eat there afterwards however, the kitchen staff treated this place like it was their own. Super clean. As our job went on the lunch hour was approaching and the delicious smells were driving me nuts so we decided to eat here after our job. Hands down the best place for true flavorful food outside of nola. I'm not always in this area but when I am I'll certainly be stopping by for more gumbo and a friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for that true Cajun flavor! Cheers, the rooter wizard read more

Pier 98 - Crawfish tacos with fried jalapeños were delicious! - Tacos Near Me - Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Never been here before so I decided to try it out. Dylan was our server and he absolutely killed it. We had several questions about the menu and he knew the answers almost immediately. He was working the bar and several tables on the floor and I never missed a refill. We saw a table order a appetizing drink and he gave us a free sample! (Blueberry Pomegranate Lemonade) Needless to say, if you go to Pier 98, ASK FOR DYLAN! read more

Gave them two tries, left unsatisfied both times. The staff is friendly albeit not very professional. A lot of goofing off while we were in the last time. The first time we ate there, an employee who was "off duty" (but still in their shirt) was completely s-faced on the back patio and kept drunk rambling at us. It was awkward. Anyway, I asked for grilled shrimp, got fried. The sad, dry po'boy would drive a Louisianan to tears. Overall, it's a hard pass for me. read more

Pitiful. The bartender seemed to be busy socializing (not behind the bar), Took 40 minutes to receive a shot of tequila to dose my supposed "margarita" = a glass of sour mix. Took an additional 30+ minutes to get a simple beer. My friend's "well done" hamburger was raw. Another lady at my table received over-microwaved shrimp. They lost my dinner order - served it to another customer. My steak finally arrived well after everyone had finished eating. I don't actually think it was "intentional," just a serious lack of organization. I tipped my waitress in spite of the difficulties. (The problem seemed to be at echelons above her!) read more

On call in orders they add 20% gratuity without letting you know. The prices they charge are higher than on the web site. They charge extra for sides that should be included in the meal. If you want any cocktail or tarter sauce you pay extra. They told me in would be 20 minutes on the order and it took an hour read more

This place has good food, but is very poorly run. I've been there three times. During my first visit I sat at the bar with some friends and enjoyed it. The bartender did an excellent job. I ordered crawfish, which were pretty decent. The second time went there was after they changed locations. It was very slow and our waitress was very inattentive and unprofessional. They had advertised 50 cent wings online, which the waitress argued was not the case. After convincing her to check, we came to find out the wings were half off and not 50 cents. While we were the only people eating in there, there was a long wait before getting our food. Despite the terrible service on a very slow night, the food was pretty good. The third time I ate from here we ordered food to-go. When we called, we found out that they only had one steak in the kitchen, which was much more expensive than noted on their online menu, so we couldn't order that. So we decided on some other menu items. They also said that they did not have any of the crawfish mac and cheese listed on their online menu. After picking from what they did happen to have l, our food was very good. However, for the prices they charge, this place should have much better service than it does. read more

Absolutely the worst meal we have ever had for a Saturday night,first everything we ordered they were out of how does that happen a good restaurant makes sure they are stocked up on the weekend. Then the hush puppies were nothing but dough we will never spend our money there again. read more

Fantastic fried shrimp! Huge dinner salads (lime vinaigrette is delicious)! Best Key Lime pie we've ever tasted. Friendly, fun, helpful staff. Extensive bar & beer collection, live music. We were traveling through town & made a point of stopping on our way back home! We wish they were closer to Texas. read more

This is for the new place they are in. Ate here today and something has failed from when they moved from across the street. Limp, wilted lettuce with wrong salad dressing, fried fish with hardly any batter, 2 hush puppies that looked like they came out of a thimble, and ordered boiled shrimp and was served fried. I could have dealt with the food but for $98 for 2 entrees, one kid meal and one beer I will pass. Plenty of excellent eating places in Hattiesburg for higher quality food and better prices. Just not impressed and won't be back. read more

Best poboys in town, and they are the only reason this place doesn't get a one star. Staff is hit or miss. The blonde chick with all the tattoos is the only bartender there that actually knows how to mix drinks correctly. If she's not behind the bar, turn around and leave. read more

Very disappointed in our first experience here. Our appetizer of fried green tomatoes was $10 for 3 tomato slices and one small one. The tomato's were severely undercooked. They were basically raw green tomatoes with a slight breading on them and covered with tamales which in itself is a strange combination. The tamales and tomatoes were covered in a crawfish sauce and to be honest the sauce and tamales were delicious. I ordered gumbo which I never got. Our entrees were pretty good flavors were good and not much to complain about with them other than portion on the catfish plates. The major issue was the price the steaks were majorly outrageous on prices. Everything here was massively over priced. My reason for the horrid review is when you go to a place and pay $65+ for two you want near close to perfection. The restaurant was dark and very drab. The band was shut off in another room where all you could hear from them was the bass guitar and very light voices. We had really looked forward to trying this restaurant and were very disappointed. read more
