Under the Pier took me a little by surprise. I was told to come here for great seafood, specifically the oysters. I wasn't sure sure what to expect from the exterior but the recommendation was spot on. First tip, bring cash! CASH ONLY! The oysters are huge. No grit. The homemade cocktail sauce is so good. I really liked the fried clams and fried shrimp, I would ask for everything extra crispy. The clams could have had a few extra minutes in the fryer. My friend said the Bloody Mary wasn't the best but at $6.50 it was quite the deal. This is a very casual spot. If you are looking for fancy this isn't for you. What you will find is paper plates and baskets filled with delicious economically priced seafood. read more

Can't really say anything bad I got there like 20 before they close I be always get the same thing bcuz it's my favorite thing

Been a customer forever, had the crab cakes today and what a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT !!!! They were like all bread, no crab and they used to be creamy inside. It was like cutting into a piece of breaded bread!!! So sad! read more

Maybe at some point there was a pier that they were under but it, along with any nearby water, has long disappeared! Its location is on Route 13 in Levittown and the closest water must be a few miles away, but I digress... If you're looking for an old fashioned down the shore feeling seafood restaurant, this is it! (When was the last time you had Oyster Crackers?) The menu is fairly large and we both were in the mood for some fried platters. Both were very large, inexpensive and very good. The Fried Shrimp Plate had 6 large butterflied shrimp with a tasty fried coating along with "sea chips" (fried round cuts of potatoes) and slaw. The Shore Dinner had an assortment of fried flounder, crab cake, clam cake, fried oyster fried shrimp along with the sea chips and slaw. I don't think they take reservations and there was a short wait on a Friday night for a table. They do have cocktails as well as beer ( some on tap) Cash only. Date night location - no. Fun experience - yes. read more

Food is great mussels even better ambiance reminds me of crab shacks in Maryland and services are great

Ambience and food not to our liking and to old fashion looking Just didn't like the atmosphere read more

Great value and service. The shrimp were the hit of the Shore Dinner. Sea chips were a nice change too.

Not a fancy place :)) Good for an old fashion fish fry with the best tartar sauce around ! read more

Its cash only, the parking is difficult. The soup is big canned condensed soup, reheated. Every thing comes out of the freezer and not fresh. The lobster tank is gross. Not impressed with this small seafood place. Service is good, though. Wish they would do some updates and upgrades on the food and this place would be amazing. read more

5 for the great seafood, 4 for atmosphere, although it did re mind me of the seafood shacks at the shore when I was a kid. My husband had the delicious fried shrimp, and I had the fried seafood combo. It was all delicious, even the clam cake, but the flounder, shrimp and oyster were the best! Great service, and don't be afraid if there's a line, it moves fast! read more

One of the few seafood restaurants left in the area. Lacking in ambience and few options for sides. The seafood itself is good.

Food was pretty good. I usually have enough for 2 meals. My pink squirrel was delicious! Service -- meh. Ambiance- I wouldn't take my date there... it's sort of dumpy. read more

We had take out after the Eagles game. We ordered shrimp platters and flounder. It was so moist and flavorful. The chips are crisp on the outside and soft pillowy inside. The cashier was polite and helpful. The soup ahhh, soothing for the throat. All in all it was an amazing meal.Thanks for filling our tummies. read more

**CASH ONLY** We were looking for a place not to far off the turnpike. There is a sign along the main road, but the restaurant is so tiny that it can be easily missed. Very tiny, seating for about 20, and honestly, I was sure what to expect. This place is definitely a local spot. Don't expect anything fancy, soup and salad was served in plastic dish ware, but don't let that keep you away. Service was prompt, polite and quick. The crab bisque was full of crab, calamari wasn't over fried and the fish & chips tasted fresh. Also nicely fried and light breading. Not overpriced and good food. There is no sign stating that the establishment is cash only. We only found out when we went to pay. There is an ATM, but signage would be nice. read more

Recently ordered for my birthday and was very disappointed. I love the clam cakes, but they are not the same as they used to be not only in size but taste as well. The chips they need to get rid of they always wind up going in the trash because they are soggy. I don't know if they change or what but it was beyond disappointing. I don't think we will be returning anymore. read more

The seasoning in the food is off on everything except the crab cakes I had to ask for refill on my lemonade the store has several different smells when you come in waitress has a great attitude but her breath is terrible read more

A but if a throw back. Very unassuming, but food was really good. Must be since it was busy and big takeout. I'll be going back read more

The food here is awesome!!! I wasn't sure what to expect but the staff was super sweet and food was delicious

I was in the mood for shrimp and potato fries and we go to UNDER THE PIER in Levittown are best. My husband called and whoever picked up the phone to take our order was the most ignorant man, my husband asked for potato fries and he said they haven't had them in 6 months and we asked him another question and his response was, like I said we don't have them. We still ordered $30.00 worth of food. I went to pick up our food and I am assuming the man who takes orders was leaning against the wall, I was just making conversation and said something about the fries and his response back to me was, like I said to the man on the phone, we haven't had them in 6 months. Again, I was just making conversation not complaining. I got my order and was paying the girl who put everything together. FYI, I gave her a tip, she was very sociable and helpful. So I left and said to myself this will be the last time I order from under from UNDER THE PIER they will never get my money again, if he was the owner or manager maybe he should send himself to a customer service seminar, sorry for my rant but just wanted to let you know if you ordering from them beware of the ignorance of the man on the other side of the phone for taking your orders. So my last words or rant is that UNDER PIER will never ever get my money again. read more

This used to be really good and reliable for great seafood. The last 2 times we were there, they were out of everything that I tried to order. The lettuce in my house salad was brown. I will give it one more try but only after I call ahead to make sure they actually have the crab bisque. read more

Cozy humble (tiny) seafood spot with retro decor. Solid seafood, the fried crab cakes are bomb.

Delicious, great value, our server was attentive and friendly, the place was clean. When we are in the mood for sea food this is our place. read more

No pier anywhere near, but no fear, here, dear. Delicious fishes! Popped in on a whim, quickly over the menu my eyes did skim. Then, again, our sweet natured server didn't dilly dally or dither, rather she made sure to point out the lunch specials. Heck yes they're special!! We sipped tasty fresh (not sweet) black ice tea and nibbled (ok more like crunch crunched!) old school stule oyster crackers (round and hard as marbles) while waiting for our broiled cod plates. When they came out, the plates were dangerously, blissfully piping searing hot as can be. The fish was a good size piece, about the size of my size 6 hand. Garnish was a 3 oz cup of dreamy, white n creamy coleslaw. Heavenly side is the house chips. Wow what are these, who dreamed them up, fabricated, created them is a friar saint. They must be cooked apart from the fried fish cause they had no nasty fishy taste. They were perfection, hot, thin, crispy heaven. Our server was a sweetpea. The restroom is tiny and clean, and most of all - lunch for two with a hefty tip was just $20 (Cash Only!) Oh and you can take away, cooked or not yet so (fresh prepped) Come back? Heck yes! A tasty spot not under the sea, but by the roadside for all to see! read more

We were here years ago. It's not stellar, but the place is small, clean, and does what is says it does. It offers shell fish (oysters, lobster tails, clams, no shell crab), fish and seafood platters, either breaded and fried or broiled. Another reviewer complained there are no specialties, like blackened or healthy choices. Well, this ain't the place. It's not gourmet. It's your basic dinner-type, mom and pop Americana seafood place with reasonable prices and really sweet waitpersons. Snobs need not apply. What I did notice is it didn't smell fishy or "funky" like some other low priced places. They also sell cocktails and wine, very reasonable. People seemed to enjoy themselves and we did, too. Hubby had a cup of clam chowder and fried clams as appies. And given he scrapped the bottom of his bowl, I'll say that was two thumbs up. The clams were golden and fresh but could have used more seasoning. We both had fried platters. Both included their crabby fries. Which I thought would be potato chips with Old Bay, but were little mini sliced fried potatoes. Actually, pretty good. Mine included a lobster tail, fried oysters, two fried butterfly shrimp and two cakes - crab and oyster for $19.95. Hubby's was the same sans a lobster tail. We filled up on too much breading. Next time we'll do broiled instead. I had two glasses of Merlot (no Chardonnay!),and one Tom Collins ($6.50) because I've never had one before. It was pretty good. I also ordered oyster soup to go. Cash only. They sell gift coupons, which I actually bought for Hubby's upcoming birthday ($20). They serve cocktails (2 shots they emphasize on the menu), wine (for some reason not listed on the menu), and beer. My recommendation is bring some Old Bay hidden in your purse and stick with broiled as the breading is heavy. This is an okay place, a staple that people seem to enjoy and that we won't write off. read more

As usual Mark and I split an entree. He had the crab bisque and I had the oyster stew to start and then we had the soft shelled crab. My stew was great. Six plump oysters in a buttery broth. What's not to love? I thought the bisque could have used some salt but Mark thought it was great. He did add a dollop of their amazing horseradish. The soft shelled crab was good, but I thought their batter overwhelmed it. (There was a lot of batter.) Well priced and good food. And yes, it's a dive, but a good one. read more

If you're looking for a place for seafood I highly recommend Under the Pier. It's a small place with butcher paper being your table cloth so if you're looking for a fancy place I'd suggest you order takeout and enjoy elsewhere. Food is always done perfect read more

I followed the hype and went with a friend here. Omfg why! I ordered the fried scallops with sea salt chips and coleslaw. Unfortunately the best part was the sea salt chips and the douchbag cook knew the scallops were over done because the waitress/hostess/bartender/IDK where he went asked me if the scallops were overdone..me being nice, lied as I tried not to choke or throw up these damn things. I paid and left the all the damn oily scallops. Now I understand the importance of their giant help wanted for a cook. read more

I came here because the reviews on Google seemed really good. However, I should've checked Yelp first. Didn't like the food and won't be coming back. Ordered fried scallops with chips and slaw. The scallops were overdone, almost burnt. The guy cooking them knew this because it seems that he asked the host to ask us if they were too overdone. My friend lied and said no because we just wanted to get out of there! If I knew the price of the food, I would've told her to tell the truth - $22 for some of the worst seafood I've ever had. The scallops were rubbery and overcooked from the inside out and weren't drained properly... grease soaked up the plate completely. They really just tasted God awful. Like old, dirty oil was used to fry frozen scallops. I actually started looking for a new place to eat as I was sitting in there, and found a place in Burlington, NJ that I went to after this. The best part of the meal was the "sea chips," which were just fries in the circular shape of potato chips. They weren't seasoned at all, but that was an easy fix. They were delicious. We left the scallops behind. So, $22 for some fries? Not worth it. read more

We had been going here for a little while now because when I was young, my parents took us here over 30 years ago. Boy has it changed, the same waitress we had last time is a chronic complainer. Every time we go she cries about being the only one there, and tells everyone constantly how stressed out she is. my husband asked for his lobster tail to be broiled instead of steamed, she had to ask the cook who is also the owner. There were only 6 tables of people and NOT busy and the owner said no he can't. What is that? u broiled the rest of the platter but can't that!!!! Won't be going back there. read more

Food is good here but it is so dirty looking that I won't go anymore even though it is close to home.
