PAYING IT FORWARD

Always one to give back, Jimmy is well known throughout Fort Bend County for his kindness and generosity. He serves on the board of many worthy foundations, like Access Health, a lower income health care provider in Fort Bend country. On top of it all, Jimmy and his Pier 36 team can often be seen donating food to local hospitals, schools, police and fire departments, and even the Fort Bend County Fair.

During the pandemic, a time when restaurants have been hit hard, many of those who were on the receiving end of the restaurant’s kindness chose to pay it forward. “We shut down the dining room and prepared for a flow of to go orders. We had assembly lines at both locations, scrambled to find the supplies we needed to go from in house to take away, and hoped people would come,” says Jimmy. “We got through this past year thanks to the incredible support of our customers who stuck by us through thick and thin.”

With live music every Friday night, a nice outdoor patio to enjoy the weather, happy hour Monday through Friday, and a relaxed and welcoming dining room environment, Pier 36 is the perfect place to catch a sports game or have a nice family meal out. So, whether you dine at the Richmond location or the Fulshear location, customers of Pier 36 are treated like family. If you are lucky, you will run into Jimmy’s mom Olga who still pops in now and then to walk the dining room and mingle with guests.

Family and food are always a magical combination. With family comes love, and with love comes soulful cooking. The Cantu family has been loyal to the people of Fort Bend County through both seafood and service since 1997.
