I went to the storefront in Good Canyon, AZ and got a full tour of the fish options available. Because they process it by hand right after they catch it, it lasts in the freezer quite a while and still tastes like it was JUST pulled from the sea. In this day and age of things seeming so pricey, this food is worth every penny!

Pier 88 Boiling Seafood is our go-to seafood boil restaurant in the Valley. We regularly dine at…read morethe one in Tolleson, but found ourselves in Mesa today and were in the mood for seafood boil. This location is a much nicer facility and in a better area than the one in Tolleson. The menu is consistent too, which made it easy for us to order our favorites. I hope you get Gigi as your server as she is very pleasant, friendly and checks on you regularly. However, the two (2) greeters at the hostess stand are a different story. It is obvious neither of them like their jobs and just come in to punch a clock. It would be nice if they at least made eye contact with the customers before they have you follow them to the table they have picked out for you. Smile? . . . that's out of the question, too. We determined by the expressions on their faces their parents probably told them since they graduated from high school they aren't going to sit around the house doing nothing all day so this must the the place they applied to.

After driving by this place many times on our way to nearby Dink & Dine, my daughter and I decided…read moreto give it a try. We are fans of the local competitor and wanted to see how this one compared. TLDR: the other one is better! We each ordered the Famous Low Country Boil - mine with lemon pepper sauce and my daughter with the 88 Special, a combo of all the sauces. She went with no spice and I went with mild. We also ordered a bowl of rice. We did enjoy what we had but it seemed heavier than what we are used to. We were not big fans of the sausage mixed in and our service was fine, but not amazing. We were also disappointed that there were not scissors offered to help get the meat out of the crab / lobster - we really had to work for it! On a positive note, we did make good use of the wet wipes that were given to us as well as our bibs and gloves. It is quite a messy meal and note that I learned the hard way: don't wear white if you're planning on ordering any kind of seafood boil! Pricing is similar to the competitor. Ambiance is chill but not as fun. I would not rush back, but I also would return with reasonable expectations.

A special shoutout to Jen behind the bar! she is fantastic! She's friendly, personable, attentive, and always makes sure everyone is taken care of, even when the bar is busy. She has a great personality and makes you feel welcome from the minute you sit down. You can tell she genuinely cares about giving her customers a great experience. If you're stopping by Buck & Rider Gilbert, grab a seat at the bar and ask for Jen. She's a huge part of what makes this place a 5-star experience. Highly recommend!

Once again...a meal that was fantastic, fresh, and well cooked. Wife had an Amaretto Sour, which is made with Disaronno and she loves that drink, saying it's well balanced and she likes that they don't use the egg foam on top. She also ordered off the Crabby Hour menu some scallops on the half shell and some roasted brussels sprouts. This place knows how to roast spouts so that they are tender and toasted and not overdone. So yummy! The scallops are served with a light ponzu sauce drizzled over which complimented the tender scallops. Delicious! From the Restaurant Week menu, I chose the crab & Artichoke dip which we love and it isn't typically on their menu. It was so good and I had to ask for some extra toast points because there was so much dip! I also got the stripped bass, which was cooked to perfection although a smaller portion than the one you get from the regular menu. They do bass right! And for dessert, chose the Pumpkin Pot de Creme, which was my first taste of pumpkin for the season. Creamy and so good although I took off most of the whip cream because it was a lot. Overall another wonderful meal at our favorite fish restaurant!

The calamari was different than it used to be and a lot spicier as well as no legs which was a little disappointing. The tuna ponzu was yummy but still super spicy even with the Serranos on the side.

My first time here: I will definitely be back and wish there was one closer to home. I decided to…read morecheck this out after a doctor appointment heading back home due to the massive closure of all Salad & Go. Apparently, the original owners sold to a private equity firm 5-6years ago and those owners started the Angie's. All this girl wants is a practical healthy salad on the go. I can't stand fast-food chains version of salads and this is why I was Salads & Go's hugest fan. The quality got crappy the last several years and prices just went insane. I stopped here and had no idea what to do, lol. There is a QR code to order from your phone so I proceeded with that method while in the drive-thru. I find it funny that they have posted statements about their method of service noting that they don't mean to be rude. Reading other comments posted here complaining about the lack of customer service is entertaining. They strive for an automated service which I appreciate but can also see how this can also repel those who are social chatter bugs and even the senior population.... Possibly first-timers too ‍ I ordered the Chicken Greek Salad. This is my favorite meal of all time. It's the one thing I can eat over and over. Yes, I will miss that creamy feta Greek dressing from Salad & Go but their traditional Greek dressing here is also amazing. What was the best part was the grilled chicken!! It was perfect! The entire salad was fresh and the perfect size! I hate when establishments push huge portions and want you to pay astronomical prices. People don't need to eat that much and it's such a waste of food and money. I got this salad all under $6 with taxes and all. That's the way it should be- a perfectly size healthy fresh meal and on the go!! The part that made me especially happy is the packaging! The salad comes in an environmentally friendly container; just the plastic lid and I'm sure they chose that for aesthetic purposes so that you can see it immediately. They also post about not accepting bag/utensils/etc if not needed. Something I opt out when I'm taking it directly home or it's for work where I had silverware on hand.

The food is good here as expected at Angie's. They got a nice variety to their menu of burritos,…read moresalads, sandwiches and plenty other items. The quality of the food is overall good too as I can tell it's organic and fresh. However, here's where the criticisms come in to why I am giving a 3/5. My family and I ordered our meal at 5:45 and was supposed to be ready by 6:05. We get there at 6:07 and it's not ready yet. Even though we weren't the only one's waiting as there was plenty others waiting outside for their meals too, it took them like 20 mins to get our food ready so we can leave. While it was still warm and flavorful, it was not good with how long it took to get our food. I understand that it is hard when you're low on staff or can only make so much at once. But it's not good to lie to customers like that when their meals should be ready. In the end, good but needs to be improved with the flow and making process.

Oh my! This place is embarrassing. Not a soul in sight when I got there. Employees acting weird…read more I felt I was Interupting whatever they had going on. I stopped in hoping for some seafood, but things didn't really work out. The first thing I wanted (shrimp cocktail) was unavailable. Then the second (steamed mussels) Then the third (ceviche). At that point I just gave up and left. To make it worse, 2 of the 4 draft beers were out too. That is important to me. Beer. I can't really say much about the food since I never got to try any of it. What I can say is that the inventory situation didn't leave a great impression. If seafood is your specialty, it's kind of important to have some available.

So this time we wanted dinner but we didn't wanna actually go out so I came and picked up takeout. The place is still clean. The food is still good and even though it was a completely different staff, they were very nice and very friendly. The only downside to this place is they used to have sushi when it was owned by a previous owner and they no longer have that. But that's OK.

We ordered the spicy shrimp and sausage boil and could barely eat it. When the server asked how everything was, we told her it was not good. Her response? "Sorry, we have a new cook who's training." Seriously?! So you KNOW the cook isn't ready, serve customers bad food anyway, and still charge full price? No replacement, no discount, no attempt whatsoever to make it right. They simply did not care. Cute pond. Terrible food. Even worse customer service. Save your money and go somewhere else.

We went with the Cajun seasoning, and it does have a solid kick to it. The corn and potatoes were a nice balance, helping cut through the spice a bit. The corn in particular was a standout: you get that sweet, salty, and spicy all at once, which was really satisfying. Everything came well-prepped and cleaned, so eating wasn't a hassle, and there's a fun, hands-on element to the whole experience that made it even more enjoyable. Lastly, the restaurant is quite spacious, so we had no issues finding a seat for our large group.
