Temecula has a new seafood boil spot, and Pier 88 absolutely delivers. From the moment we walked in, the place felt fresh, clean, and inviting—everything you’d hope for in a brand-new restaurant.
My wife and I decided to share the Pier 88 Seafood Boil, and it was a feast. It came piled high with a pound of snow crab, two pounds of shrimp, a lobster tail, corn, potatoes, and eggs. We went with the Pier 88 Special Sauce at the hot spice level, and it was perfect—bold, flavorful, and balanced with just the right heat. The seafood was fresh and cooked beautifully, making every bite a win.
The service deserves its own shout-out. Our server, Elijah, was phenomenal—friendly, accommodating, and genuinely attentive from start to finish. He made the experience even better, and it’s clear the staff here takes pride in making guests feel welcome.
Between the generous portions, fair prices, and top-notch service, Pier 88 has already become a standout in Temecula’s dining scene. We left full, happy, and excited to come back for more seafood soon.

Wanted to check out this new spot in Temecula. The seafood boil was descent. Not the best nor the worst I had. I got a pound of shrimp with the head-on, half pound of sausage, & fried calamari. I did all the above for sauces with mild heat. I felt like the sauce was water down and not enough flavor. The service took a while because it was on a Friday night. The atmosphere was the best thing about this place unfortunately. Our bill was around $40. If you live in Temecula then this place is convenient but if you want to drive out I would recommend Shrimp Factory in Moreno Valley or Kickin Crab in Chino Hills

There is no seafood left. My kids absolutely loved it, Got too excited. My 12yr old got the “snow crab legs” pier 88 sauce mild, my teenager and I both got a pound of shrimp with the head medium pier88 sauce, wifey got 1lb of clams garlic butter. The big screens had Sunday football on, can’t believe I just saw P.Rivers come back from retirement.

Absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The bold seasoning soaked into every bite, making the shrimp, crab, and corn incredibly satisfying. Messy in the best way and perfect for sharing, it was a fun and comforting meal I’d gladly enjoy again.

Best new seafood boil to come to Temecula. I would say stick to the seafood boil as other items like the bbq shrimp (I believe that’s what it was called) was disappointing as it looked like they just squirted sauce over them haphazardly. The wings are good as well as the fried fish. I tend to order a little on the spicy side as I noticed when we order non spicy for the kids the sauce was watery.

Pier 88 was exceptional. The food was fire and the service was excellent. We ordered Oysters, shrimp, lobster, and green mussels. We were very happy with the food presentation and how quickly it was out. They had beer on draft and bottled. They also had pitchers available if desired. Overall 5/5 will come back again.

Pics say more than words could. Absolutely delicious, absolutely devoured it. Great prices and customer service. Was busy on a Sunday night and still got super fast service. 10/10 recommend if you’re in the area!

Seafood boil is one of my favorite genres of food. Shrimp, corn, and all the fixings in a bag of delicious sauce? Yes please! Everything at Pier 88 is tastefully branded; from the bibs, to the napkins and complementary wet wipes. Their confidence in the brand translates well into the food. The flavors of the boil are a solid foundation for anything you choose to add to the bag. Service is fast and attentive. This is a great spot to bring a large group of people as long as you’re willing to get a little messy.

I can not recommend this lace. Our waitress was friendly when she actually came by. Told her it was our first time there. In my opinion she could have taken the lead with recommendations. My fried oysters were gross and soggy and I do love fried oysters. We will not be returning to this place

We had high hopes that this place would be good but, This was the sad little shrimp poboy I was served at Pier88. Tiny little roll with a slice of unripe tomato. Shrimp was ok but unseasoned. My wife’s salad was equally sad. We will not be going back.
