A classic dock-side, seafood shop. While not actually "under a pier" and not really all that close to the sea, this unassuming, under-the-radar joint has some of the best seafood around. We had Softshell crab 🦀 (fried), lobster tails 🦞 , fried breaded butterflied shrimp 🦐, hush puppies 😋 , and the deep-fried-battered broccoli 🥦 bites (gotta get the veggies 😉 ). All served on paper table cover with paper plates and metal silverware. Classic.
Bottled beer and a selection of house cocktails. Menu includes lots of goodies broiled, fried, steamed - we'll be back to try the flounder, tilapia, crabs, shrimp, scallops, chowder, and crab cakes (as long as we didn't stuff ourselves on the fried softshell crabs!).
Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and pulling double duty in this one room hidden gem 💎.

A hidden seafood gem 💎. It's not really under the pier, but the half lit sign, and the outside make it appear like it is. I probably drove past it a million times, but this time I decided to give it a try. It is not the usual atmosphere of a seafood place, but I didn't let that dissuaded me. First I ordered drinks. The drink menu is a bit confusing, but you can just tell them what you want. The Fried Flounder was delicious, and perfectly stuffed with crab cake. The crab cake platter was also delicious. I have tried oysters one time, and i couldn't eat them. These oysters were more than edible (from someone who could never even look at oysters before) lol! Serving sizes are great, I was starving, and still had leftovers. The pricing is fair also. Definitely a great time, and I will be visiting again.

We have done takeout many times but haven’t eaten in the restaurant in a few years. We finally got back this weekend and it was delicious as always! The place isn’t very fancy, but the waitress is super nice and the food never disappoints. Their shrimp and their scallops are amazing, but today I got there old English fish and chips. The beer batter is what makes it. Delicious! It is one of the best seafood places in the area. We did forget that it was cash only. Luckily they have an ATM on property. However if you want to avoid paying the service charge on the ATM, try to remember to bring cash with you.
I've been to New England many times in my life and every time I'm up there I have to have a good bowl of New England Clam Chowder. So. When I say, short of going to New England, Under the Pier is the best place to have NE Chowder. All the seafood here is unbelievably fantastic. Don't let the ambience of the restaurant deter you. Matter of fact, that's the charm of this wonderful place to dine in. The only time you might have to wait for a table is a Friday night during lent. But if you do have to wait, it is totally worth it. If you are looking for a place for a great seafood dinner, Under the Pier is it. Try the Broiled Stuffed Cod. So yummy.

I’ve been coming here for as long as I can remember. One thing is for sure, the place never changes. Friendly staff, excellent food, no fuss. Just took my dad here tonight for his birthday and they didn’t disappoint, even on a very busy Friday night.
