We ordered the shrimp bowl to go with garlic noodles that was served with potatoes and sausage and a day later. marinated in the boil daddy sauce was phenomenal. The price for everything was reasonable and the quality didn't say mall food court but restaurant. If the mall closed, I hope they will find a spot to continue serving the community and great food.

The hostess who answered was friendly and took my order without issue over the phone. Prices on the online menu were outdated - my total was about $10 higher than what was listed online. No problem. The food was ready in about 15 mins. For $110, we got 2 lobster tails, 2 clusters of snow crab, and 2 lbs of headless shrimp, plus corn and potatoes. Potatoes were kinda large, would have preferred smaller ones, but they were cooked through. Only got 2 pieces of corn, but was well cooked. Shrimp and crab were good - lobster was overcooked and stringy. The sauce was lacking in flavor - and we got the hook and reel blend - we did get it mild, but I still expected the sauce to have flavor. Overall, it wasn't bad, but there are better places to get seafood boils from!

This was my second time at Hook & Reel, and while my first visit was at the Bowie location, the one…read morein Owings Mills completely blew it out of the water. The seasoning at this spot is elite. Honestly, it holds its own against Hot and Juicy Crawfish, which has always been my top seafood spot. Everything about this experience was a 10 out of 10, especially the service. Our bartender Kenny also happened to be our server, and he did a phenomenal job. Even while bartending, he still made sure we were taken care of. On top of that, three or four other servers checked in on us throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed. I really appreciated the teamwork and how focused everyone was on making sure we had a great experience. We started with the Passionfruit Sunrise, which Kenny recommended, and it was so good we ended up ordering three. My boyfriend had the Voodoo Lemonade and really enjoyed that too. For appetizers, we got the breadsticks, mozzarella sticks, and oysters. The oysters were a definite highlight . It was flavorful, steamed just right, and covered in all the sauces. If you're an oyster fan, you won't be disappointed. The chicken sandwich was also really good. The lobster bisque was just OK. I ordered a crab boil and added noodles, sausage, and eggs with the Hook & Reel seasoning blend. Everything was incredibly flavorful and cooked perfectly. I honestly can't wait to come back, but I'd only return to this location. They hit every mark: food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend.

Before heading back up the road last Sunday, we wanted to get brunch. I had a few options to choose…read morefrom but, with us being on a seafood kick and intrigued by the Bottomless Seafood Brunch option, we decide to check this place out - so happy we did. I made a reservation to be on the safe side, so we were able to be checked in and seated within a few minutes of us getting there. It was a vibe in there and made me feel like I was back at some of the brunch parties I went to in Jersey with my friends with the dj playing a great mix of songs (r&b, hip hop, house music). Our waitress came over pretty quickly to check in with us and give us the rundown on the bottomless food process. She was just great overall, being pretty attentive but giving us time to enjoy the food vibe, making sure our food was brought to us and we had everything we need; very good service from her. Now the most important part... The food was delicious! And the perfect portion sizes so that we actually were able to sample a bunch of items since it was unlimited orders of the food during our dining time (2 hours max). For $55 per person, it was well worth it! We both enjoyed pretty much everything lol, but some perosnal favorites were the Fried Devil Eggs, Catfish and Grits, Oysters Rockefeller and the lemon pepper flavored Creole Wings. Everything was good though. Definitely a place to check out if you are living and passing through the area. Loved it and would go back if I lived there.

I liked the cornbread breading on them. Creole Wings Wings were a bit overcooked, making the chicken a tad dry. The sauce was good, and they were also nice and saucy. Blueberry Cornbread Light and golden cornbread with blueberry compote on top. Perfect sweetness, I had this as the dessert and this fed my soul! Honey Butter Chicken & Waffle A golden brown waffle, with the crisp outside and soft inside, absolutely perfect. Excellent seasoning on the chicken breast. Great ratio with the thinner waffle, allowing a good chicken to waffle bite. It also left room to try other items. The syrup was a bit basic. A honey brown butter syrup would've set this off. All in all, a good rendition. Snow Crab Legs Creole Old Bay Garlic butter sauce was fire. Too bad you don't get any for dipping. Crab was steam perfectly. These were excellent!! Glad it's bottomless, cause 1 cluster was not enough! I asked for the sauce, alas they forgot it. These feed my soul! Fried Deviled Eggs Fried and topped with crab, yes, please! Freshly fried, so they are warm!! Winning! Excellent crunch on the egg base with the panko breadcrumbs. The sweet relish hit the salty and sweet taste, excellent flavor blend in each bite. These fed my soul! Banana Pudding It's the fluffy instant pudding version. Heavy on the instant banana flavored pudding. Making everything else on the menu and then serving an instant dessert,is basic and mediocre at best. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to banana pudding, so have the original homemade base and spin off from there is the way to feed my soul, so this was not worth the calories. Service First place I've been to that the service matched the automatic gratuity. Server was attentive Ana circulated around the tables enough. Food runners brought the food out hot. They also had separate table clearers. Well done. Bottomless Brunch was a vibe, good food and great music by Konan & Rodd Madd Flava!! Price is comparable to the amount your get. Head on over to check them out!

It's been open since 1994, and it's easy to see why. Ethel's is really homey and cozy and comfortable. It feels like you've taken a little day trip to New Orleans. We each ordered a couple of drinks (something tropical with rum for me, a martini for my friend, and sangria for my other friend). We shared a few items from their menu: Creole Shrimp Boat (sauteed shrimp, mussels, jumbo lump crab meat, and the fish of the day simmered in a fire roasted red bell pepper sauce, with Creole rice and the vegetable of the day); Hot Cat Stack (fried catfish stacked with sweet and savory Andouille sausage cornbread, spicy crawfish red pepper meunière, honey chive compound butter, hot honey, and the vegetable of the day); a half rack of ribs (slow roasted ribs, Louisiana dry rub seasoning, mopped in BBQ sauce, mashed potato, and the vegetable of the day); and a strawberry bread pudding. Everything was delicious. I liked every course we had, but the Hot Cat Stack was wow. I've had a lot of bad to blah bread puddings in my life, but Ethel's wasn't bad or blah. It was delicious - and not dry at all. At all. The service was friendly but not the fastest (we waited a while for dessert) and maybe just a little scattered! But we eventually got everything we ordered, and the meal overall was wonderful: delicious, fun, casual. I'd love to return!

I ordered the blackened catfish over rice, and when I began eating, I noticed the fish was undercooked and partially raw in the center. This is extremely concerning from both a quality and food safety standpoint. I understand mistakes can happen in a busy kitchen, but serving raw fish when it is supposed to be fully cooked is unacceptable and could potentially make someone seriously ill. I hope management takes food preparation and temperature checks more seriously moving forward because no customer should have to worry about food safety while dining out. The atmosphere was nice, but the food experience definitely needs improvement.
