If you are driving by Lumberton on Rt 95 and are hungry then stop at Pier 41. It is very good for the area. I had the broiled platter with oysters, shrimp, fish, scallops, and a crab cake plus a salad & hush puppies. Hard to believe it cost only $14!! It was plain, tasted fresh and healthy. The staff...

Thanks for the great review. I'm glad you enjoyed your broiled deluxe platter. We try to keep focused on the quality and value of our seafood and not so much on the "fluff". I hope you stop again on your next trip through Lumberton. Take care. More

This was our second visit to Pier 41 (see below for our first review...posted elsewhere and copied here). Our experience this year was exactly as before. The place was full of locals and the staff was friendly as ever. Sweet tea was just right and we needed a refill on our Hushpuppies they were so good. I couldn't resist the... More

We were stopping in Lumberton on our way to FL so I read Trip Adviser reviews and went to Pier 41. Very popular place, really a local, family place. Had very good food and somehow(!) people around us could tell we were from NY. A group stopped by the table to welcome us and people talked to us from other... More

After seeing reviews here we expected more than average food. My broiled plate was ok but my wife's fried plate was served cold. Prices are low. Place seems to be local favorite with big takeout business. There is no wine or beer served.

My wife and I stopped for dinner on our way home from Florida, after seeing the reviews on TripAdvisor. It was Friday evening, the restaurant was full, and we waited about 20 minutes for a table. It was worth the wait. The fried shrimp and catfish dinner and hush puppies were fresh, lightly battered, and delicious. The restaurant staff was... More

We stopped here while traveling 95. This place is a large room with florescent lights. Most of the patrons are local and have probable been coming here for years. The fried fish was well prepared. The hush pupies are made with white flour. This is basically your best choice. Fried Fish, colesslaw, fries and hush pupies. The meal was incredible... More
