    Shrimp Po' Boy

    Service: Service was good. The server kept coming by to check in on my table. Since we were tucked away, we were not able to get the attention of our server very easily. Food: Crab Fries - Pass. The crab on this dish was broken up and slightly fishy smelling. I would just get regular fries to dip in the seafood boil sauce. Seafood Boil - Always a favorite! You cant go wrong with getting a seafood boil. I ended up adding ramen noodles and it was a great addition. I wished they would've provide more utensils to make it easier to eat. As the food got colder, the sauce became saltier. On to my next adventure...

    Decided to go because I haven't gone to this location since they opened. I swore there was one in Wheaton further from the mall, but that was years ago, and I guess they moved locations. Anyways, plenty of parking and seating, same complex as the mall, but not in the mall. There is a bar area. Wash area for just your hands obviously, and TVs too. Very good flavor! Chose our own boil and they just threw everything inside one big bag. I didn't like how they didn't change out our trash pale thing, but we were almost done. Also ran out of water and they should have been attentive to that, but again, we were almost done. Everything was cooked fresh, very good flavor! Spicy is decent spicy but not crazy spicy. If I were to go back again, I'll get the spiciest just to try.

    Hook & Reel is definitely a fun spot if you're in the mood for affordable seafood. I stopped in during happy hour and while the drinks were cheap, they tasted like the didn't have much alcohol. The real highlight here is the crab. Flavor-wise, it was decent, but honestly, getting 6 large crabs for $35 felt like a steal especially paired with their house sauce.The value alone made it worth it. Overall Not quite perfect, but definitely a solid 4 stars for what it offers

    The hush puppies and crabs are enough to make this a must visit. When I tell you they're meaty, they're MEATY. We tried the special with 2 snow crab clusters and added black mussels during HH, along with an order of hush puppies, raw oysters, and mochi. I love affordable and the crabs are worth every bite! The Cajun sauce with a side of Lemon Pepper will not disappoint, and Shayla was generous with the extra butter :) This was my 3rd time here and the last two consisted of seafood boils with crab/shrimp/mussels. It was always delicious but could use a few tweaks. I'm a shrimp girl and the last time they were a bit overcooked. There's nothing like the perfect bite when it comes to shrimp, and unfortunately it didn't have that. Flavor was 10/10. The raw oysters were a bit fishy and the strawberry mochi had a crumbly texture. We didn't mention the oysters to Shayla but she did bring us another vanilla mochi. The calamari is EXCELLENT and I like the mussels. These are minor tweaks, otherwise everything would've been perfect. Now, I will share my BBT (Big Back Tip). Take one of those little hush puppies and dip it into their vanilla ice cream. In fact, you could split both the mochi and hush puppy in 1/2. Eat it together. Tell me it isn't f*cking delicious. The salty/sweet combo is everything. I will say that every time we came the servers were outstanding and the store itself was spacious, clean, and orderly. The Wall of Shame at the entrance definitely provided a giggle or two :D Tip your waitress and enjoy!

    I am writing it 4 stars from my last experience. But it has been times when it was only 3 stars. I always order door dash from here when I'm in the mood for Seafood boil. I ordered the Shrimp with head on (they weren't mushy this time) and ordered Clams for the first time. The clams were tiny but also good. Always get the HR spicy level sauce. Everything was good this go around, and I received it Hot!!!! I also love how they staple the bag tight. Thats a four star on its own!!! lmao

    Seafood is one of my favorites especially crawfish! This place is very spacious which is needed when you eat all kind of seafood because your table will be filled quickly with shells lol we loved everything we ordered. Crawfish was well seasoned. We got mild since we weren't sure of their spicy level and think it wasn't too spicy, we probably could have done more spicy. Service was good. Staff checked on us regularly. Would come back for sure!

    I've been been to Hook & Reel about 3 times, and I'll say that both the service and the food have been absolutely wonderful. I'm not sure how crowded it gets, but the restaurant is pretty empty on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Overall, I really love the nautical and crustacean theme of the restaurant - I guess this would be expected in a seafood spot. Hook & Reel has a wide variety of items that you can order to customize your seafood boil. Although I seafood is the main reason for my visits to Hook & Reel, I wish the restaurant has more veggie options on the menu (for a balanced meal). While I cannot remember all of the things that we have eaten during our visits, we were not disappointed with anything. In addition to the seafood menu, the restaurant has a huge drink menu too. I will admit that I thought some a couple of the margartia cocktials were a bit weak on the tequila. They service always has been great and some of the bartenders are quite funny.

    Seafood The Cajun Boil #1
    Tony J.

    Great seafood restaurant. Located in mall. Plenty of space w great fast service. Had the lemon pepper wings which were flavorful and decent sized. The shrimp poboy was huge and had a lot of good flavor too. Fried catfish was greasy. Cajun fries were good but not over seasoned. The fried shrimp basket was really good. Great l place to watch games or have large group dinners and they're known for their seafood boils in a bag.

    The staff here are the best and did a great job checking in. I'd come back just for the customer service. However, the seafood lacked seasoning--it seemed like they just added sauce to a bag and dumped in the shells.

There was a great artist's display in the waiting area and the short wait allowed our table of four to critique and be amazed by the talent of the local self-taught painter. Our mains included Shrimp & Grits (always a crowd pleaser), and the Steak Frites. Also got the shrimp po'boy and the burger (a bit salty from the regular style, especially the onion rings).

    I would say that I love the new concept for privacy and convenience to have separate hibachi style…read moregrill tables throughout the restaurant than the traditional long table, where the entire restaurant has to share the table for communal dining, so that is a step up. I think that the customer service was excellent and the chef had charisma, personality, and should do stand up, he was a pleasure and a joy such a guy with rizz. My issue was the food itself as the rice was amazing but did not age well being taken back home for take out, and the chicken and salmon were not as flavorful as a homemade version I would had cooked so there was the blandness. I ended up having digestive issues and got sick for a day or two after eating from here which was disappointing, because the vibe is awesome in this spot and the positive energy is contagious. I felt so relaxed and joyous here. I think the food can be cooked better even though they are generous with excellent portion sizes. I think it is a strong contender for one of the best restaurants in the region if they step the food preparation up. I also did not like this sauce they provided, but it does have better customer service than the typical DMV spots which tend to struggle with the customer service, so they get an A with that making you feel welcomed and respected and not strictly transactional experience, very warm, nice, attentive, diligent, and hard working staff, so they have the bones here, so once they step up the actual food prep and quality then they will be 4 to 5 stars easily. That is all I got!
