About The Pier Restaurant

The Pier Restaurant is a waterfront seafood and American restaurant located on Solomons Island in Solomons, Maryland. Situated at 14575 Solomons Island Road South, it occupies a historic pier structure extending over the Patuxent River, with indoor and outdoor seating that emphasizes the views. The menu focuses on classic Maryland and Chesapeake Bay fare—crab cakes, steamed and fried seafood, oysters, shrimp dishes, fish and chips—along with burgers, sandwiches, tacos, salads, and a full bar program with cocktails and beer.([thepiersolomons.com](https://thepiersolomons.com/?utm_source=openai))

A charge on your card reading something like “SQ *BKC Solomons Pier Solomons MD” is very likely from a visit to The Pier Restaurant that was processed through Square, with “BKC Solomons Pier” reflecting the internal or legal business name tied to the Solomons Pier location rather than the guest‑facing brand. Such a charge could come from a dine‑in meal, bar tab, brunch buffet, or takeout order, and may include tip and taxes on top of the menu prices. The restaurant also offers online ordering and takeout through platforms like Toast and its own website, so you might see charges after placing a phone or online order rather than dining on-site.([thepiersolomons.com](https://thepiersolomons.com/?utm_source=openai))

If you’re unsure about a charge, start by checking your email and text messages for Square or Toast receipts from the date of the transaction, as well as any confirmation emails from thepiersolomons.com. Compare the transaction amount with what you’d expect for a seafood meal with tax and tip in Solomons, MD. To resolve questions, you can call the restaurant directly at its published phone number or use the contact details on its official website; staff can look up checks by date, time, and last four digits of your card. If you still do not recognize the transaction, contact your card issuer to dispute the charge and to see if there were any other unexpected transactions around the same time.([thepiersolomons.com](https://thepiersolomons.com/?utm_source=openai))

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement say “SQ *BKC Solomons Pier” instead of The Pier Restaurant?

The restaurant uses Square for payment processing, and the legal/business name associated with the account appears as “BKC Solomons Pier” on some card statements. This refers to The Pier Restaurant at 14575 Solomons Island Rd S in Solomons, MD, even though the guest-facing name you see on signs and menus is “The Pier Restaurant.”

What types of purchases typically result in a charge from The Pier Restaurant?

Charges usually come from dine‑in meals, brunches, bar tabs, or takeout orders placed in person, by phone, or online through their ordering system. The final amount often includes food, beverages, applicable state and local taxes, and any tip you added at the table or on a handheld payment device.

Does The Pier Restaurant offer online or takeout ordering that could explain a card charge?

Yes. The Pier offers takeout and online ordering, including through platforms like Toast linked from its website. If you placed an order for pickup or takeout and paid in advance, that transaction may show up on your card as a charge from The Pier Restaurant or as “SQ *BKC Solomons Pier Solomons MD.”([thepiersolomons.com](https://thepiersolomons.com/?utm_source=openai))

How can I get a copy of my receipt from The Pier Restaurant to verify a charge?

If you entered an email or mobile number when paying via Square or Toast, check for a digital receipt from the date of the charge. If you don’t find one, call the restaurant directly using the phone number on thepiersolomons.com and provide the date, approximate time, amount, and last four digits of your card so staff can look up and reissue the receipt.([thepiersolomons.com](https://thepiersolomons.com/?utm_source=openai))

Does The Pier Restaurant place temporary authorization holds on cards?

Like many restaurants that use modern POS systems, The Pier may place a temporary authorization for an estimated amount when your card is first run, which can differ slightly from the final total after you add tip or adjust the check. The authorization hold should fall off automatically, leaving only the final settled amount; this is why you may briefly see two similar charges or a higher pending amount.

Can I dispute or get a refund for a charge from The Pier Restaurant?

If you believe you were charged incorrectly—for example, a duplicate charge or wrong amount—contact the restaurant first with details of the transaction so they can review the check and issue a refund if warranted. If you cannot resolve it directly or suspect fraud, you should then contact your bank or card issuer to initiate a dispute and to request a new card if necessary.

Does The Pier Restaurant have recurring charges or subscriptions?

No. The Pier Restaurant operates as a traditional restaurant and bar; charges are tied to individual visits or orders only. If you see multiple similar charges over different days, it likely reflects separate visits or orders, not a subscription. Unrecognized repeat charges should be investigated by checking receipts and then contacting the restaurant or your bank.

How can I confirm that a charge from Solomons, MD is really from The Pier Restaurant?

Match the transaction date and time with when you were on Solomons Island, and check whether you dined or ordered food at a pier‑side seafood restaurant. Look for digital or paper receipts labeled The Pier Restaurant or showing the address 14575 Solomons Island Rd S. If still unsure, call the restaurant with your transaction details so they can confirm whether the charge matches one of their checks.
