Pier 88 Boiling Seafood & Bar Independence

We looked at several places to try. Pier 88 had the steamed bags of seafood, sausage and vegetables that we were looking for. We looked at reviews and was a little hesitant to go, but we decided to try it. 100% glad we did! The location is in a weird spot for a seafood restaurant, but it was comfortable inside. The decor was neet, and you could even write your name on the wall throughout the restaurant. Ok now to get the the good stuff. We were seated right away. We were given our menus to review and our waitress was right out to get our drink order! The prices were average for a place like this. I decided to order the Famous Low Boil Country boil as well as my fiance. It came with 1/2lb crab legs, 1/2lb shrimp, 1/2 slices of sausage, 1 corn on the cob , 1 boiled egg and 1 small potatoe..i also ordered 3 extra potatoes. Then you get to choose your seasoning and your level of spice! I chose the "all the above Spice" which is all the spices put together, and my spice level at medium. Our waitress was very kind and I couldn't believe how fast we got our food. They brought us a bugget that was full of all kinds of stuff, it had crab crackers, bibs, gloves, napkins, plastic wear and hand wipes. We put the bibs and gloves on, BELIEVE me you will need them! We opened our bags served on a metal tray also for your use. The food at a glance looked amazing, at first it don't look like allot until you start eating. The 1 cluster is crab you get was cooked just right, it was easy to Crack, they were not soggy, the meat came right out, it was juicy and tender, so yummy dipped in the extra garlic butter they give you, the crab meat was so sweet. Great crab. The shrimp were no heads and easy peal, already cut for you on top, the shrimp were plump and juicy, very good dipped in the sauce in the bag. The sausage had the best flavor ever! Everything was so good with the sauce in the bag, (btw, I loved the all the above spice at medium heat ") it was amazing. The potatoes were bigger then I expected, they were not tiny, good size. The potatoes were cooked perfect. The boiled egg was great touch, it was amazing cut up in the sauce. And then the sausage, there was quite a bit of sausage, it had an amazing flavor, everything I ate I dipped in the seasoning sauce in the bag. So to wrap this up, our waitress was so sweet and nice, on top of everything, thane service, I can not wait to go back! e food was AMAZING ! Great food great service, we will definitely be going back!!!
