Pier 88 Jonesboro

Overall, not a bad place to get seafood in a landlocked state. It is the typical "boil" style restaurants that seem to be popping up everywhere in the south these days, not that there is anything wrong with that. It's in the same building as the old On the Border restaurant and it doesn't look like they changed the layout much from that eatery. They did apply for a liquor license but as of 9/17/2021, it was still pending approval (hopefully they get it).

The inside was interesting and the wait staff was very friendly. The table I was at ordered calamari and oysters on the half shell for appetizers and they weren't bad at all although I prefer the tentacles when eating calamari and those weren't included. I liked that the menu had lunch options available during certain hours Monday through Friday and that is what I selected, the 3/4 pound headless shrimp lunch with potatoes and corn. I got the 88 seasoning and medium heat which wasn't very hot so I'll go hot next time. The boil was good though and enough for me. Bibs, gloves, and wet wipes were provided to allow you to be tidy and clean up.

Not a bad place to eat at all and since they are new I expect them to even improve. Compared to some of the other places in town that offer similar dining experiences, it is great.

Food was delicious. Our server Aysia was the best. Definitely will be back for more great food and friendly staff..

Overall, very good. Fried items were just OK, hushpuppies were yummy. Steamed shrimp, hot, with Cajun sauce, superb. Cocktail and tartar both good. Only thing I'd say as a negative, loud hip hop music was unappealing. Music needs to be neutral

Absolutely delicious! Our waitress, Paris was helpful and attentive. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
