  • I was shocked on this one. They haven't even been open 2 years and already closed their doors. I knew they had problems just based on our experience and reviews, but this restaurant group is well known and I figured they would have made some changes. But to see Pier 23 closed and for sale shocked me!
    I really appreciate you watching as always and see you on the next one!

    I wish they just would have fixed Shanty Town up and let it be. But....... I know they're not in the same area but OC has been spending , spending, spending the last 10 years or so, and now the economy that they were counting on, just isn't there any more. A shame when Captain's Galley closed. We never did go to Mad Fish, and just the idea behind Pier 23 with the shipping containers didn't appeal to us. We'll just stick with our "go to" places (if they're still there!). Thanks for the updates Jay.

    • @ReelJayB
      @ReelJayB  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

I'm sure many had the same question about these restaurants and so, Applause to you and Thank You for taking the time to seek the answers, it really is much appreciated. I'm sad about Pier 23, always had a good experience there, boat slips were easy in/out as it was a nice break in the day while visiting Assateague Island by boat. Thanks again.

    If anyone wants to reopen Pier 23 as a good seafood and steak restaurant let me know. I would be more than happy to be your manger and run your business to be a success. The container box structure is a disaster. The layout needs to be like Captains Galley was. Downstairs dining room. Upstairs casual dining and crab busting with outdoor decks top and bottom with seating. Outside deck entertainment. Boat service. Just let me know and I’ll be there! Take care Jay! Great job as always!

    Been to Pier 23 a few times and it was ok, but not ever really crowded. We been to the OC Eatery once and hated it. Trying to make a fancy food court was just a bad idea and the place had horrible execution. We loved the restaurant when it was Applebee's and it always seemed to be crowded -- really disappointed when it closed.
    Looking forward to seeing your video on the redevelopment of the 94th Street Mall area.

    Greek/med. glad we are getting more and more food diversity around OC. No need to go up to Reho 😂😂😂. Never got to 23. Hopefully something cool will open. Did you see that they will be building a new Acme up in the 94th? Street center. The plan is to tear down Roses, build a new store there, then tear down the old one. The whole center will get subdivided into four lots. I guess some will be sold. The Beanery and Asian restaurant will stay. With the new Giant and Acme we will have two nice full service stores. As you may know, Acme and Safeway are the same. The name depends on the are. Phila/NJ/Delmarva it’s Acme, on the western shore Safeway. Thanks for the update👍
