SURF RIDER RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Such a great restaurant! We had prompt and courteous service. The menu and specials looked quite good. We both ordered specials ( honey glazed tuna and a blackened mahi) that were very good, and with the generous sides were plenty of food. Great looking restaurant, clean and well kept with lots of windows so you can see the Marina and the boats from almost everywhere. If It had been just a little warmer we would have chosen outdoor seating. Oh and they easily accommodated some allergies in our group. I would highly recommend Surf Rider on Hampton Creek.

Most excellent place to dine!! The food was incredibly delicious!! The crab dip is to die for Our server was very nice and right on the ball! The atmosphere was just perfect!! Loved having an Amazing view of the water!! We'll definitely return! I highly recommend The Surf Rider.

We enjoyed our meal and the view, service was top notch and the food was so good we didn't eat until the next day. The calamari, crabcake and key lime pie were extraordinary. We will return to experience new favorites.

THE DEADRISE REVIEWS

I had an exceptional experience at The Dead Rise! My waitress, Meredith, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I never had to ask for a drink refill—she was always one step ahead, providing attentive and friendly service throughout my visit. Even during the busiest hours, the staff maintained an impressive level of efficiency and professionalism. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the food was absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for a place that delivers both outstanding service and incredible food, I highly recommend visiting The Dead Rise. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Always love the food here. Definitely recommend the Seafood Trio. The outside seating for beautiful sunsets makes the evening most memorable. Everyone in the service of the evening was top-notch! Great staff. It's my repeat place to visit every time I'm in town.

Nice view and delicious food! I had the seafood trio and was really impressed with the amount of crab meat. The deadrise lemonade with whiskey was my favorite cocktail. My wife enjoyed the catfish nuggets and fries. The crab dip appetizers were fantastic.

This was first time to Deadrise and it was great! I live 250 miles away and wish I lived closer. In my home town, Hanover, PA, there is a restaurant that has my favorite fish platter but my hometown fish platter does not come close to Deadrise. I loved it. When we are here again, Deadrise will be on the top of places to go - Paul W Reply

PIER 88 REVIEWS

This was really good food. We ate everything on our plate. Already planning our next time going. The pier 88 sauce was delicious. This is a really nice place to go for seafood. We had the seafood boil. Dungeness crabs and snow crab legs were really good.

I really enjoyed Valentine's Day with Mr. Grumpy right here. Everyone was so nice, the food was amazing and I really liked the atmosphere. I just really wish I had brought a marker with me so that way I could add our names to the wall.

I visit this location often. Usually for the atmosphere and the views from the table. My go to meal is chicken wings in 88 sauce, but this time I added the noodles with it. If you’re wondering, yes, it comes in a boil bag. Delicious and feeling.
