The serving staff was prompt and efficient.
Food is a little pricy but it's really tasty, and what isn't these days? That may just be my mindset.
Overall we had a great lunch and I was glad we stopped by.

The Cantu family has carried a reputation of great food from Richmond. Everything we ate was top notch. The catfish and seafood platter are our favorites. Hishoups are award winners.

Pre-birthday dinner for myself and hubby on Saturday evening. This place did NOT disappoint! From the friendliness of the staff to the flavor of the food being served, everything was "Spot On"! We arrived and instantly I saw flashbacks of my little home town back in NE Texas! Older building turned into a beautiful dining establishment! Plus, on this Saturday evening they had entertainment (so very sorry, but didn't catch his name) of a very good guitar player/singer who did a variety of different johnras of music from country to classic rock. My hubby started off with a half order of oysters (all him, not me 🤮). He said they were the best he has eaten in a very long time! For our dinner he had the ribeye with a baked potato and added shrimp. Mine was the blackened catfish and shrimp, which came with rice palif (I'm not a big fan of) which they let me substitute for fried okra. LOADED my plate with fried okra!! 😁😁 And if this was frozen/premade okra, it did not taste like it! You could tell from the breading and flavor, it was freshly made! Both dishes were phenomenal!! His steak was melt-in-your-mouth good!! Full of flavor and moist, not dried out like most places serve! My blackened catfish and shrimp was GREAT!! Some of the top 2 I've ever had! Catfish was good and clean and didn't have that "dirty pond water" taste to it! And our food arrived within a timely mannor, even though it seemed rather busy, by the time we ordered! After dinner we made the mistake of ordering dessert. Not that it wasn't good, IF WAS FABULOUS!! We ordered a slice of cheesecake for us both to share. Their cheesecake, by the slice, was enough for 4 people to share (sorry, forgot to take a picture of it 🤪)! And baked New York style cheesecake too! It was like a cheesecake on top of a cheesecake! Needless to say, being so full from our dinner we could not finish it. 😮💨 Overall, this place is worth all 5 stars and then some! The manager's name is Mario and he is superb at running this establishment! He continually moniters the floor service and makes sure you are being taken care of! Oh, and Brittney was our server and she was great!!

July 1: Clean restaurant. Pasta tasted good, sauce was yummy but very greasy. Service was slow, waitress disappeared for over 10 minutes while we were waiting to pay. If I went back, I would order something different.
Update!!! July 27: I went back to Pier 36 and tried a new menu item, 3 fried shrimp and a cup of seafood gumbo. The shrimp were largy and batter was crispy. Gumbo had lots of seafood in it (oysters, crab meat, shrimp). It also came with fries and they were so yummy. I would recommend this meal!!

Always very good. Most times we order one of the specials. Service is always excellent. Gets busy during regular hours, so this past time we took the opportunity to go at 4 PM, mostly as a very late lunch, but it was almost full by 5:30 PM. Never had a bad dish, or one improperly prepared. Consistently very good. Nice little bar if that is your thing. It's Texas, so (of course) individual portion sizes start at huge and range all the way up to "easily feeds two people." Their hush puppies are better than most of the local BBQ joints (i.e., they are not greasy). It's exactly like a great little hole in the wall joint, except it's not little nor is it a hole in the wall. Just very good seafood. If you're in the area, don't miss it.
UPDATE: It's been a while since we last visited, avoiding being in crowded restaurants, but we were in the area, and hungry, so we dropped in. Menu now three times the size it used to be, and the food is just as good or better. Many of the items that used to be favorite specials are now regular menu items. The Oysters on the Half Shell are as good as any other restaurant in the greater Houston area that I have reviewed (or not). They are huge and FRESH. Service here is spectacular. They serve food at the bar as well; while we were visiting, there was a steady stream of drinkers and eaters (mostly single diners). Be sure to pay attention to the specials on the board when you come in, or ask about them; they are consistently "special" (not on the regular menu) and a good value. If you ever see Stuffed Flounder or Rainbow Trout Pontchartrain, be sure not to miss them.

We absolutely love Pier 36! The food and service is always great. We've never had a bad experience there. I always get the same thing - Shrimp Brochette but I substitute veggies for rice. My hubby often orders the catfish or the shrimp and grits. We love having this great neighborhood restaurant close by!

Great restaurant with delicious food and excellent service with a smile! Drinks are always perfectly made at the bar. Always good for lunch, dinner, afternoon cocktails, or watching a game at the bar.

Handled our party of 11 flawlessly. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Happy hour specials before 7pm were a nice surprise!

Stopped out there tonight for the first time. The inside was nothing like we expected. It's fairly plain, no frills decor. Don't let that sway your decision to eat here, the food is absolutely outstanding. Their menu is large and had something for any seafood lover. Me and my wife started out with the Blue Crab Fingers. These little gems were packed with flavor. For our meals we both had the shrimp and catfish plates. They come with fries, cole slaw and jalapeno hush puppies. They give you cocktail and tarter sauce but you won't need them. Not the shrimp and catfish were fantastic. They had outstanding flavor and once I'd eat again in a second though there after so many other dishes I want to try it might be a while until I circle back to this one. The service was great. Our server, a tall young lady by the name of Skylar was support friendly and great with everything. The GM whose name escapes me was walking around talking to all three patrons making sure everything was good and helping out his staff when needed. Some might overlook that but to me seeing the big boss diving in when things get busy shows me a management team that cares about their customers and staff. We can't wait until our next visit, do many dishes we want to try. This place being so close makes us glad we're moving out there.

Our waiter was Candelario and he provided a great service. The Oysters were very fresh and of decent size. The Fried Food Platter was very good! Pricing is reasonable for seafood.

Great service, great ambiance. Oysters were fresh, and the crawfish etouffee was on point - savory and not too salty. Waitress Emmy was knowledgeable and helpful. Came after 8 on Saturday so didn’t have to wait too long. Hope to try the other specials when I come back to the area!

This place is the gem of Fulshear. Don’t drive east for date night, hop on 1093 and go west for once. Everything on the menu is incredible. But those baked oysters tho? Those bakkkeedddd oysterrrrrrs thooooo!!! Who knew you could put snot on a prehistoric rock and make it taste amazing. Pier 36 does this, and I’m here for it. Also the salmon is great.

We had a large birthday dinner there! Food was amazing, and the staff were excellent. They went out of their way to accommodate whatever we needed. Would highly recommend Pier 36 for any occasion!

We had a 90th Birthday party for my Mom in the private room. The food and service was remarkable. I had the salmon pilaf and, for someone from Seattle, it was some of the best salmon that I have had!!! We couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate my Mom’s birthday. I give Pier 36 my highest rating!!!
