    Dried and refried catfish

    I went to Captain Hooks because my neighbor asked me to go get her some fish and she bought me some. I wasn't sure what she wanted so I got an order of filets and an order of catfish steaks. The workers were very nice and courteous. I got my the food and took it to my neighbor, she choose the filets and I got the catfish steaks. When I took out my fish, I noticed three of the pieces had a double coating and it was separated and hard. The fish looked rather old. I tasted the fries and they were hard, it was if they mixed fresh fries with old fries that had been recooked. I ate a few but then, stopped. I put some hot sauce on the fish and began eating it. I tasted the pieces that were double coated and it was hard, you could barely chew them. One piece looked like it had been left out, I pulled off the coating and it was so hard you couldn't even break it apart. There was one fresh piece and I ate that. An hour after eating the fish, I started feeling a little lightheaded. Wasn't sure what it was, then I had a slight headache. I drank me some tea and went to bed. The next morning, I woke up and was about to get out of bed and was feeling very dizzy, the room was spinning, I felt nauseous, my stomach was cramping and my heart was racing. I had been coughing up mucus all night but, diarrhea set in and I was gagging. I had to wind up calling my doctor. I told her everything that was going on and she said, I had food poisoning. She put me on bedrest and told me not to eat anything heavy and drink Gatorade for 24hrs. And, if things didn't get any better go to the emergency room. I'm still feeling sick not as bad as this morning but, I'll see how I feel tomorrow. This will be the second time this has happened to me. I will not be going there ever again.

Lunch time menu doesn't have a lot of options but the choice were definitely good ones! I went with the chicken tips! When I tell you this was the best bbq I've ever tasted!

    My husband and I arrived at this nice warm modern contemporary restaurant for dinner, and we were…read moregreeted and seated right away. We were there the day before Valentine's Day, so the menu was limited. I had one of there margarits's and that started my great evening. Our server was attentive and checked in on us. We enjoyed the crab cakes with shrimp on top and dirty rice stuffed mushrooms for starters and then we had spinach salad which was delicious. About another hour or so we enjoyed our main meal which was Tuscan chicken with creamy risotto and lobster and shrimp etouffee served over wild rice, very delicious. We also had for dessert, banana CHEESE cream pudding and I actually wanted to Lick the bowel it was so good. We also enjoyed the strawberry shortcake. I was hesitant about making a reservation because of all the negative reviews after restaurant week. I must say we were happy with our decision to dine at this restaurant. Yes, the food took a little extra time but it was worth it. I can't wait to go back for their weekend brunch.

    I'll start with the positives - The food for the most part…read morewas really good. I finally had actual catfish, something I haven't had in a while since maybe going to Virtue (keep that name in your pocket for later), we had calamari, which was ok, and my entree came with mashed potatoes which were good once I added a pinch of salt (at home because they didn't have salt or pepper on the table). Now for everything else- We waited a little bit to be seen and then be seated. We made reservations in advance, as it was my mom's 86th birthday so we were all excited that there was a place nearby to dine that didn't involve going to Hyde Park. Anyway, once seated we waited close to 20 minutes for water. There seemed to be one server with someone shadowing him in our section, so my sister asked him if he could get us water. He told us our server would be with us shortly in a pretty dismissive way. My sister then asked the host if someone was going to come and take our order, by this time we had been sitting for over 20 minutes, in bright light with Afro Beats blasting too loudly over the speaker (yall can't make a mix of different genres?). The host ended up taking our order and then our server came over, taking our order again until we told her we had already put in everything. The food came out pretty quickly but that was it. The servers kind of were also runners. Once the food was on the table that was it, nothing else. No one asked us about anything, you were on your own. My mom did ask for a dessert that sold out and after we told the server it was her birthday, she went to the kitchen and they did us a solid. And she said the bread pudding was good. We watched folks nearby sit just as long for food leave after an appetizer. Honestly it's no surprise because after getting the bill I realized this is Virtue pricing without hardly any of what makes that restaurant successful. I would come back, but maybe on a slower evening. Hopefully things will work out and get better, at least dim those lights and turn the music down a bit.

Small place no stools or chairs for sitting. I got the pork tip and link combo... I asked them to cut thin but they didn't. The ribs had a nice smoky flavor and just tender not fall off the bone or melt in your mouth tender but flavor ok and you pay for coleslaw. Not to mention they give you a dinner roll. The hot link was delicious and reminded me of when I grew up with grandma's bbq. Overall worth trying and if you like uncle Remus you will love it!

I ordered online via UberEats. Arrived there, stood in line. Got to window, she was doing miscellaneous, no ,"I'll be right w/you...". Apparently ready to take my order, she just looked @ me, no "may I help you," just stared & gave me sarcastic gesture. Told her my name, she just said, "ok." 10 later, asked about my order, she says, "not yet.! Ask again 10 minutes later, and she looks at me in disgust, like I'm bothering her & ignores me. So around 5:30pm (UberEats says order should be ready around 5:11pm) I ask her, "is my order ready?" She says, "what's your name, what did you order?" TURNS AROUMD ANF MY ORDER IS IN HER WINDOW. THE SAME BAG I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT FOR OVER 25-30 minutes. SHE proceeds to come to door hand me my order, w/no apologies, no anything. RUDE AF. FOOD COLD, something wet. Rib Tips & Hot Link decent, fried chicken thighs hella big, not good.
