Again, this is one of those difficult reviews. I feel like four stars is too low but five stars is a little too much. I would love to have given it a four and a half star. As far as the food is concerned, it was good and full flavor and definitely deserves five star. My only reasoning for four is the quantity of food for the price. When I hear Cajun I think potatoes, corn, sausage, shrimp, crab all in one but every almost every item was an add-on. But on a good note, the employees were very friendly and very quick with the service which was really nice. I'll definitely go back

Theeeee worst seafood boil I have ever purchased. It tastes like fresh seawater. There was not one granule of salt to be found. $75 I paid for what instantly became garbage. It went straight to the trash. The spaghetti tastes like it was boiled in seawater- just like the crab and shrimp. I will never eeever give my money to this business again. Please beware of the seafood boil bag. Bring your own seasoning.

My BFF took me here for my birthday and we had a blast! We were there for happy hour and boy does it get busy fast. Staff is personable and eager to please. Pretty damn good menu with drinks worthy if the money. Yup I'll be back here soon.

I loved the food and waiter and the drinks were right! I will be back.

The seafood was fresh and very tasty. The wait staff was friendly. There was the problem of not having hot water to wash your hands and no seat covers. Other than that, the restaurant was clean and the food was very good. I would recommend.

The food was amazing like the best one of the best seafood boils I ever had. However the service wasn’t bad but could’ve been better had to keep waving our waitress down even tho it wasn’t that busy. So the only reason they aren’t getting a five star is because the waiter had 6 or 7 tables with multiple ppl at each. The food was great and so were the drink. I would come back

1st time visit - fast service - good food. I will teturn

first time there. Food is delicious, great service.

Service was great. Food was good but portions was small. The main problem for me which stopped it from being great is: all the different seasoning options has salt in them which is not necessary because the seafood itself has enough salt. The seafood bisque soup was excellent. The prices are a tab high for the your portion. The environment was quaint and comfortable.

The. Food. Was. So. Good!! Cannot say enough great things about this restaurant! We have never been to a Hook and Reel before and decided to try it for my birthday tonight! We were greeted and waited on by Raja who was simply amazing. So informative and happy to give recommendations about the menu since it was our first time! We landed on the “Reel Catch” boil with the hook and reel sauce that was nothing short of delicious! We also had the “Cajun Candy” and “Hook Punch” cocktails which were a treat! All in all, a wonderful experience. Those chefs and waitresses need a raise!
