They always have a fresh catch, which is one of the reasons I keep coming back. We ate here for lunch this morning, and the fresh catch options were tripletail and snapper. I couldn't decide between the two, so I ordered both. I had the snapper grilled and the tripletail blackened, and they were both fantastic, served over a bed of fresh spinach. We also started with the Sweet Chili Thai Shrimp appetizer, which was outstanding. Overall, the food was amazing, the fish was fresh and perfectly prepared, and the entire meal exceeded expectations. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for excellent fresh seafood. read more

Holy smokes! I LOVE this place! Have been here twice now and both times, this restaurant knocked it out of the park in every way possible. First of all, the ambiance: it's beachy, light and fun. Plenty of indoor AND outdoor seating with lots of close parking spots even though it's in the downtown area of the town. The way the tables are set up provide for an intimate setting and it's just q great place for dining. Now let me tell you about the food/drinks: happy hour is from 5-7 everyday and you can get house wines for $2.75 a glass! They have a decent selection, too! They have a fresh catch of the day every day and the first time I came it was the triple tail and I ordered it and I LOVED it!! So delicious! On my second visit I ordered the tacos! On Tuesdays they're two for $6.50 and they are SO good! Blackened mahi with delicious seasonings - I feel like I'm in Heaven! And saving the best for last: the service. The employees are friendly, accommodating, and on point with recommendations, expediency, and making you feel right at home. I love this restaurant and I would recommend it to anyone who is ever in the area. Also, my seafood hating man got a chicken Caesar salad and loved it. Check the photo! read more

Quaint no frills cafe near the beach. Excellent caesar salad, fried seafood, and gumbo. Their gumbo is one of the best on the coast and Im born and raised in New Orleans. The rice is a little al dente or possibly basmati which is random but the overall flavor is on point. Service is just ok, dishes will sit on your table for the whole dining experience and refills arent happening too quickly. Flies can be an issue but I blame that on the location not necessarily cleanliness. Prices are reasonable. read more

The ONLY reason this wasn't a 5 (and great still doesn't mean perfect) is because the Caesar Salad dressing had almost zero flavor. I mean a hint of garlic maybe - no anchovies (nor flavor profile of them), no worcestershire (nor flavor of it), no Parm or flavor profile. It was well coated, thick and creamy..croutons - good. But what was it. I was shocked. No flavor. I had my friend taste to make sure I wasn't loosing my mind. She said there was a slightest hint of garlic, but nope no flavor. Boggles the mind. Ordered Saltwater Margarita - hold salt on rim. Came with salt on rim. No bread to table which my friend loves - I'd rather it not be brought haha. Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake - made in house - light fluffy not too sweet uplifting flavor - fantastic! I usually eat one bite and that's enough. We shared the whole piece of which I ate my portion. The server assured us multiple times that it was the cake not cheesecake as they do serve both...it was cheesecake. BBQ shrimp app - 5 cooked to perfection, sauce seasoned so well. Grilled Salmon with beurre blanc / pasta -5 (medium and cooked correctly) Saltwater Margarita - 5 (Margarita prude...and it was delicious and made well- really great!) Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake - 6 made in house - light fluffy not too sweet uplifing flavor - fantastic! I u Caesar - 1 Keep in mind all these things depend on the chef, bartender, waitress taking order correctly AND crowd level. It was very slow for Hook at 6:ish. read more

I was with a military reunion group for lunch. Our organizers recommended this restaurant. We sat in a separate dining area, it was raining and we were all soaked. The restaurant owner welcomed us but was not expecting this group of 30+. Everyone ordered from a menu. I was excited to see oyster poor boy with fruit on the side. We had just toured the maritime seafood industry so I was amped up for oysters. I ordered the fried green Tomato to share with my table. All enjoyed, made from pinkish , no longer green, crispy fried tomato. Then the entree was delivered. It was a rush as we were a crowd, all hungry. My poor boy looked different. Maybe the wait staff did not understand what' I had ordered. I took one bite and knew for sure. This was shrimp.....not oyster. I don't like to whine or complain so I decided not to eat the poor boy.As I munched on the delicious fresh fruit...a wait person arrived, she asked for my plate and offered me a beautiful oyster poor boy. Somehow without making a fuss, they' exchanged the sandwiches. And gave our group an unexpected military discount. read more

Food was tasty. Prices were reasonable. Service and atmosphere were solid. Location was very convenient.

Very busy when we went for dinner so we opted to sit outside. It was a hot 90+ day but not too bad in the covered outdoor seating area. The food was...good not great. I got the Parmesan crusted chicken. It just needed something more. More pepper or more sauce or a pop of lemon. Something. Good not great. Wait staff seemed very busy and a little distracted. They were friendly enough. But not as attentive as I would have liked to see. We had to ask about a missing order of fries. The same member of our party who was missing his fries also never got a drink refill. It was promised but never delivered. read more

Wednesday is apparently a busy night with $5 burger night. You won't find them on the menu but they were a popular item. Even with a busy night the service was good. The appetizer was timely coming out and the food was excellent. We also got the Parmesan breaded chicken and it was very tender. I never got my side salad but was ok because that left room for the main and a slice of dessert. read more

Had been by here a few times and finally decided to try it out. I had the goat cheese summer salad, which was very fresh and delicious! I loved all the unique components which made it such a interesting salad to eat! My favorites were of course the goat cheese croquette, the pickled onions, the nuts and the dressing. Great location, I will definitely be back once it warms up to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and food! read more

Hook is located right in the center of quant downtown Pass. I came in for lunch around 11:30 and it was practically empty but most people don't know that lunch is the best time to go! They have most all of their same menu but much cheaper. There are great happy hour specials each day of the week as well so either way you get a great meal at a reasonable price. The cuisine is American Seafood with Cajun flair. The menu isn't particularly unique but what they do, they do so well! The Tuna Sandwich is phenomenal! Fresh, high quality ingredients, great atmosphere, and excellent service. Highly recommend! read more

I stopped here for lunch and boy so glad I did. Definitely a local favorite as there was a big party on back numerous deuces. They even have limited outdoor seating. I ordered the Fish of the Day which was Triple Tail. First time trying it and let me tell you, it is an awsome soft mild fish. If you've never tried it you have to! The server Victoria was very nice and attentive. Even though she was slammed, she stayed on top of everyone in the dining room. read more

It was very (completely?) full inside when we showed up for dinner so we opted to sit outside. It was very hot out but with the shade and the fans it was tolerable and it was our choice to sit outside. Three of us had chicken and one had the catch of the day. The one who ordered catch of Thebes had several questions about the fish and suggestions on how to get it prepared and the waitress answered his questions knowledgeably. The food was good but just kinda lacking seasoning and *pop*. Need some of that Chef Emeril BAM BAM BAM action. As another member of my party described it thusly, and aptly, it's fair to say the staff seemed.... Distracted. One person didn't get a refill on their beverage (remember we sat outside and it was 90+ degrees out). We were supposed to get salads with our entrees (at least I remember the menu saying so....) but nobody got a salad. And we ordered a side of fries for a picky eater but they didn't come either. We had to remind the staff and they did eventually bring them. I'd give Hook another shot if I'm down that way again but I'm gonna be watching the staff to make sure things get taken care of correctly. read more

I'm not sure if the seafood pasta is good or not, but the girl at my table sucked it down before I finished one of my tacos (and I'm a pretty fast eater) so I'm guessing it was freaking delicious. I had buyer's remorse watching her eat lol. The goat cheese salad is my jam and I'm always hard pressed not to order it when I come here. The fried goat cheese croquettes paired with the pickled onions, mandarin oranges and grilled chicken deliver a complex layer of flavors that have me coming back for more. I mean it's fried cheese people. Need I say more? Fish tacos are bomb. I prefer mine fried but if you're trying to save on the kcals, stick to the blackened version. They're just as good. Come on Tuesday's though where you get two tacos for $5. HELLO MOMMMA NO NEED TO COOK TONIGHT. I ordered the champarita last night and it was everything. Light and refreshing with a little tang that makes you want to pucker your lips enough to give the bartender a kiss. I took a bite of the grilled salmon and y'all. That ish was delicious. There is just enough char on there to give the outside a delicate crisp but the meat is still juicy and moist. Yummmmm. Check em out baby. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

Slowwwww. And lots of flies covering the tables and swarming food - avoid if cleanliness matters to you.

I'm a fan of Hook. The MS Gulf Coast is a special place. Each little town on the coast has their own unique downtown that's slightly different from its neighbors. Downtown Pass Christian is smaller than LB or BSL and much of it is contained in the same area as Hook. Hook shares a parking lot with a hardware store, two other restaurants, a froyo shop and other businesses. The spots are fairly wide, but if you are a lunatic about your car, there is also a lot across the street with less cars. Hook has both an indoor seating area and an outside patio. The patio is covered so it remains comfortable unless it is surface of the sun hot. This trip we sat inside and found it to be well appointed, comfortable, and there was plenty of room between tables. Service was friendly, but at times very slow. The food ranged from very good, to great and was a good value when compared to other places in the area. The meal started with fries tossed with truffle oil and Parmesan cheese. This seemed like a pretty straightforward non-fancy dish, but boy was I wrong. Those fries were awesome. I ordered the buffalo shrimp as my main course. I might of liked a tad more buffalo sauce, but the shrimp were large, fried perfectly, and delicious. The bread had a slight crunch like real po-boy bread should and I thoroughly enjoyed it. More sauce and it would've been even better. If you're in the Pass for lunch, I think you should add Hook to your list. read more

We have eaten here on a pre-COVID trip, and had a decent experience, so tonight it seemed to be a good choice for takeout. Food was available quickly- within 15 minutes of calling the order in. This is a definite plus. I agree with the previous reviewer who mentioned how limited the menu is. There are only a handful of dinner choices, and we were informed that they do not offer poboys for dinner. This seems to be a big loss of opportunity. My husband had the gumbo, which was definitely flavorful and worth it. The kid's chicken was also fine in the critical eye of my three year old. I had the seafood pasta, which was underwhelming. The "sauce" lacked dimension; it had a heavy lemon flavor and not much else taste. The "seafood" name really should just be "shrimp". Other than three very small clumps of crab meat, there was only shrimp in the dish. The crab that was present all contained pieces of shell. All in all, it was fine to grab for a quick meal, but probably not anything we'd rush back to. read more

We finished our family vacation here and we cannot recommend it enough. First off, our waitress was extremely sweet and helpful. We asked her how to get our meal prepared and her recommendations did not disappoint. Thank you, Crystal! We had been looking for a place that had fresh seafood, and this was that exact place. We got the fresh catch, which was triple tail, oyster Rockefeller for an appetizer, and we each got a different dessert. The entire meal we could not stop saying how delicious each and every bite was. If we are ever back in the area, we know where we are eating dinner. read more

Wanted to try this place out because their menu online looked so good. We got in and the menu had changed, and it was so limited and didn't have oysters or some of the other items we were hoping for. The menu was unreal. The food that they did offer was different than anything in the area and not in a good way. We will not be back there. Make sure you check the updated menu before you go. read more

The posted menu was revealed as the LUNCH ONLY menu when we arrived after carefully selecting the dishes we wanted and this restaurant for those reasons. The Oysters Rockefeller's closest match was the dinner pasta by the same name for $26. The sweet, sweet bartender who took our order could not possibly have prepared us for what train wreck was to come. Fish tacos ordered for appetizer were mediocre at best but that oysters pasta was the rave in a horrendous way. There were about eight merely adequately fried oysters that served as my $26 dinner. The minimal salad was rotted, both greens and tomatoes, and the lemon vinaigrette was a bitter but otherwise tasteless gel. A huge bacon-topped BLOB of pinkish "sauce" topped the Oysters Rockefeller Pasta with spinach nowhere in sight. I was totally confused and as this was a take-out order, it was this or nothing for dinner. After the oysters were eaten, the remainder went INTO THE GARBAGE. This included the "ciabatta" bread that was the accompaniment to the order. It was a cute, round load of regular bread sent without a single bit of butter. It would have been nice hot and as a pre-dinner snack but not. As a ciabatta to accompany my meal. Someone made a killing $$$ on this order. The two items were over $45. Two small tacos and about eight oysters served as the provisions for our dinner. How disappointing. Run! In fact, our next night's dinner of two ENTRES AND DRINKS was only $10 more. It was superb and less than half a mile away (Bacchus). Wow! This meal was high on my worst meals ever list. Go to Radish or Bacchus or MCDONALD's for a better meal. read more

This was one of the worst restaurants I have been too. The food was mid at best. I ordered Brussels sprouts... my fav food as a side. Now I never want to eat one again. Our waitress completely forgot about us several times and we had to go up to ask for her to take our order, and for our check. Extremely disappointed with how much this place is hyped up. Would not go again. read more

This is our second visit here. Again for lunch . Very quiet ambience. The staff is very nice and attentive. We had the pullet and pork sandwich , cup of gumbo and bbq shrimp and the sauce was very flavorful. The price is so reasonable for 2 people for lunch .
