⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just tried Pier 18 for the first time and it was amazing! The seafood boil was super fresh, packed with flavor, and perfectly cooked. I also had the teriyaki beef — everything was hot, well-seasoned, and delicious. Great portions, fast service, and clean packaging. Definitely coming back! Highly recommend!

I knew we would be passing this way on our trip to see family. This area has good food, so at my gf request I looked up Cajun. I found this restaurant on TikTok, and they weren’t lying. It’s good! The calamari, perfect. Shrimp and crawfish boil, perfect. Everything in the boil including the corn, cooked to the perfect texture. Nothing over done or under cooked. And I felt like the prices beat inflation. Tip: get the Pier 18 sauce for your seafood boil and dip everything else you ordered in that Pier 18 sauce.

With the freezing weather, my family was craving warm and delicious seafood. Pier 18 was a home run! We all had different combos where I was able to try snowcrab, king crab, clams, crawfish, shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes. Everything was good, that we had to order some wings to go! We will definitely be coming back!

For a new restaurant and being open for only a bit I give 5 stars with still room for improvements. To start, the menu lists beer, which they do not have yet. It is byob for now I was told which I wish was listed on the door before coming in. We would have quickly gone and got our own bottle. We got the fried calamari with Cajun fries. They don’t have a sauce for it which was odd, when asked they gave us a spicy mustard and ketchup. I think some type of tartar sauce should be included. We also got the 10 piece wings with the honey old bay sauce. Which was a chefs kiss! So flavorful and amazing! Next on the list of ordering we got the clam chowder. Which was good, I love me some clam chowder! Last was the combo 1 with the headless shrimp and muscles. We got this with the pier 18 sauce mild. I will say with this the shrimp needed to be washed a bit more, they still tasted a little fishy and gritty. The corn was alright it seemed to have been from frozen and didn’t have a fresh cooked corn crunch. The muscles were huge and delicious!! The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the sausage had a nice smokey flavor! I will say I wish there was more sausage. When I read slices I thought like sliced chunks of the kielbasa style sausage, not a legit slice. Overall this was a good experience! 5 out of 5 with room for improvement! Hope when I come back later, it will be even better!

Nice portions, good food, and good prices. With so many Cajun spots in the area, this one wins my vote for a quick bite when I'm in the mood. We tried the fried calamari basket (it was good), lobster roll (it was ok), and fried rice (it was amazing). My son said the Po boy was pretty good. Their fries are seasoned very well.

Pier 18 Cajun Seafood Grill in Mansfield, Texas was excellent. I had the street shrimp boil, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly—tender, flavorful, and very easy to peel. You can tell they know how to handle seafood. The gumbo was a true Creole-style gumbo with plenty of vegetables. It wasn’t overloaded with meat, but the flavor was deep, well-seasoned, and balanced, letting the spices and roux shine through. Overall, great food, solid execution, and definitely a spot I’d come back to for Cajun seafood done right.

Food was amazing and came quick. Seasoned to perfection customer service was great. We got a seafood bag, which was great the honey old bay wings, which was delicious. We got the baked oysters. They were very good as well too. The only thing that I didn’t like they don’t have a liquor license, but they did have other little beverages that did the trick I will be going back really enjoyed this place

Decided to stop in and try it out! The food was okay. I ordered garlic noodles and calamari. The seafood was a bit overcooked and the garlic noodles are what you would expect. I will go back and try a seafood boil combo. They have the cutest robot server named Lucy! Innovation at its best.
