Stopped here on a Sunday afternoon to try a boil and are so glad we did. I had the shrimp and mussels and hubby had the shrimp and crab legs. We argued about who’s was better. lol. They have a full bar and good wine selection. Gary, our server, was a hustler. He was attentive and kept everything evenly paced despite the restaurant being extremely busy. Would definitely return.

People told me not to eat seafood in a landlocked state. I’m glad I didn’t listen and came to Pier 8. Our experience was over the top and our waiter Nick was the best waiter I have ever had, from his personality to the service, everything was spot on. The wife wanted the All You Can Eat so I had to do it as well because that’s the rules. I wanted the fried alligator but didn’t want the extra cost in addition to the cost of the All You Can Eat Seafood. I’m glad I caved-in because everything was unbelievably good and I tried many different options. I am working in the area for a while and can’t wait to return to Pier 8 for additional items I was not able to try on my last visit due to being too full. This is a must place to visit when in Denver in my opinion. The dungeness crab legs were the best I have ever had. Make sure you check the rules so you don’t get disappointed as you can only have one pound of this per person, but it is worth every penny. The snow crab may have been cooked a little too long but everything else was very very very good

We came in for lunch three of us and this place is clean. It wasn’t packed and the staff was welcoming and very friendly. The service was on point and the food came out quick and it was hot. We all got the lunch special where you pick two from the list of things The sauce was delicious. There was a good amount of shrimp clams and I added sausage. It came with the corn and two potatoes. The prices are reasonable and we had a really good time. The place is clean and the music wasn’t too loud. I recommend this place as they have a really good selection of seafood And other items plenty of parking easy to get to rating this at five stars ⭐️
