For a seafood buffet in Utah, this was fantastic. They have warm, cold and Cajun options along with made to order sushi. There was some chicken and other foods, but seafood is the focus. Staff was super friendly and it was well priced. We will be going back! Watch out for the king crab though it has some sharp spines! It sure was tasty though.

I wasn't really quite sure what to expect out of pier 8 but had been intrigued and wanted to try. Came away decently impressed and I will go back and try some other things. I'm a big fan of po boys and gave the shrimp po boy a try. I was impressed with the fried shrimp - a nice light batter and a good fry. The sandwich could have used a little more sauce and lettuce for the amount of bread, but I did enjoy it. My friend tried the Wednesday special - head off shrimp and snow crab legs. You get to choose the sauce and the spice level. It's a good amount of food and it all tasted really good. And we thoroughly enjoyed mopping up some leftover sauce with some fries :) I was hesitant on how good the boil would be here in Utah, but my friend's was good enough that I would go back and try it.

Came here with a friend for dinner and it was both our first time trying it out. The restaurant is inviting, clean, and spacious. The hostess was kind and welcomed us when we arrived. Our waitress, Lindsey, was nice but didn't seem to know the answers to many of our questions about the menu, virgin drinks, etc. there was a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't think so." Blake, the manager, checked on us throughout and was very accommodating. He made me a tasty virgin mojito. For my boil, I did head off shrimp, clams, and sausage. They added crab legs for $1 since we spent more than $50. I did the House special sauce and spicy. Wow, the spicy was very hot! I think next time I would do mild because the spicy (which was the medium) wasn't a medium heat. However, it did have good flavor and all the seafood was really tasty. I didn't care for the sausage, I wouldn't get that next time. It was too thin and it was dry. I only had two potatoes in my boil as well. Wish there was at least three. We also asked for extra sauce and was charged for that (without a notice). I appreciated the complimentary cheesecake for my birthday! That was very nice. Overall, good experience with tasty food. I will definitely be back!
