Food: Salmon, Grouper and Oysters were good. Fried Grouper sandwich was nasty and way-over breaded. Service: 1 out of 5 stars on the service. Very bad. I wanted to walk out after 15 minutes without the first drink. Many workers screwing around not even trying to look busy. Blame this on poor management. New manager in order for sure. The consensus from the 4 of us is we would never go back. Based on that alone, the 3 stars is a generous score. read more

We had a disappointing experience overall. When we arrived for dinner, we were told there was a 30-minute wait for indoor seating but no wait outside. That was confusing, especially since we could see at least six empty tables inside. We chose to sit outside, where the same server appeared to be handling both indoor and outdoor tables. After being seated, we waited about 10 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order. The server apologized and said he had not been told we were seated. Drinks and appetizers arrived quickly once ordered. The Pow Pow Shrimp was excellent and easily one of the highlights of the meal. About 15 minutes later, our dinner order was taken. The entrées came out promptly. I ordered a bowl of chowder that never arrived with the meal and only showed up after we had finished eating and were waiting to pay. I had the lobster rolls, which were very good. The fries were outstanding and probably the best part of the entire meal. My son enjoyed his smashed burger and also loved the fries. Unfortunately, my wife's Ahi Tuna had a strong fuel-like taste. She would not eat it, and after trying it myself, I understood why. No one checked back with us during the meal, so we had no opportunity to address the issue before the check arrived. Service was a 2 out of 5. Food was a 3 out of 5 in some areas and very poor in others. Would I recommend it? No. Will I return? No. This restaurant would benefit from having a floor manager actively checking on tables. The staff seemed stretched too thin, and basic quality control and guest follow-up were missing. read more

On a cloudy afternoon, we were looking for a place to eat and came across hooked Island grill in downtown Cape Coral. It's a very causal place and you can definitely come as you are! There is indoor and outdoor seating which you can bring your dog! We had crabs, scallops, fried shrimp and i had the pineapple. Everything was very tasty. Abbi was an attentive service and we had a great experience. If you are in the area this is a great stop. read more

If you're looking for the perfect spot to enjoy a laid-back yet lively brunch, Hooked Island grill checks all the boxes. They have a large outdoor seating area that has relaxed vibe with plenty of sunshine, perfect for those weekend mornings when you want to soak up the fresh air while indulging in great food. They have bottomless mimosas(which the staff did a great job making sure we never ran out) that pairs well with their rotating brunch menu, which changes monthly to keep things fresh and exciting.They also have specials that change weekly. If you follow them on social media, they do post the specials and changing brunch menu with pictures. They're regular menu offers a wide variety of items but we gravitated towards their large selection of fresh seafood dishes. We tried the stone crabs and the shrimp. The shrimp came in a delicious slightly spicy sauce. It was so good that we wished we had some bread just to soak it all up. Also we got a good giggle out of the creative names from some of the menu items such as: Wiscaaaansin Curds, Do You Believe In Unicorn Fish?, It's Not Pink, It's Salmon! And Grown Ass Man's Chicken Tenders. Just to name a few. Another standout feature is the Music Bingo every other weekend. Not only is it fun and interactive, but it also supports local charities, making it a great way to have fun while giving back. All in all, this restaurant offers a perfect blend of great food, great drinks, and great vibes--definitely a must-visit for any brunch lover! read more

!!WE WENT TO DINNER HERE WITH FRIENDS!!...sorry, still yelling from the loud atmosphere. The food was pretty good, the crab legs were delicious. Server was nice but so busy that we had to wait a bit for refills. Packed on a Weds night. The biggest thing was the noise level. We sat on the patio and it was incredibly loud, I can't imagine what the inside noise level was. I've been to Lynrd Skynrd and Billy Idol concerts that weren't as loud. I love live music but the noise level really took away from our enjoyment. read more

The grouper and ahi tuna was excellent in a pineapple bowl with rice, and mango salsa. I had a side salad that was that was fresh and very good. My server, Kiki, was attentive, personable, and made me feel special! I will be back. Dave read more

I have always enjoyed this restaurant location, back to when it was a brewery (Big Storm? RIP the fried cauliflower from there!). Hopefully Hooked can make the location work as its been a couple things already. We came specifically for the AYCE crab legs. They weren't the biggest or best, but AYCE is hard to find these days so they seemed reasonable. The first serving wasn't great (too soggy) but the following refills were hot and good. Service was fine and refills didn't take too long. We sat out on the patio and it was a bit chilly and the music was too loud (always a complaint with me, however). I'd probably have to visit a few more times and try the regular menu before making a solid call on it. read more

Heard there is a new owner.Service was fantastic. Frank the bartender is awesome !, Had the large seafood tower, I would rate that as terrible. Shrimp were mush, Tuna encrusted in old bay ?? (disgusting) snow crab just ok, oysters were good. mussels sucked. New owner needs to get there shit together. the summers are long read more

Overall good food. My complaint is that I wanted to order a side of crab legs which is listed on the menu for $10 1/2 lb or 15 for a lb. After I ordered it, the server told me the price on the menu is not correct and if would be either $15 for a 1/2 or $30 for a lb. She said the excuse is they are under new mgmt and they haven't redone the menus. To mgmt: buy a sharpie or a label maker or print new menus. OR honor the price you list! read more

The place was awesome. We went for the all you can eat crab leg. We had a party of 8 and were seated very fast. It was 2-3pm. They brought the crab very consistently and had a short wait. We have been here and be back and can't wait read more

Food was ok. The shrimp and grits was like a soup. Pineapple bowl was good, shrimp and sushi jalapeños apps were good. The Bingo lady was very annoying and loud. Chip our waiter was awesome! read more

I had read about this place in it's original location on Matlatcha. When looking for a bar to watch a football game we came upon Hooked, which was the old Big Storm Brewing building. The space was nice and big, I had never been in before and they had football playing on all screens! We love seafood and so we were excited when we saw the menu. The small tower looked to be a great deal and so we ordered it. It was delicious and a great value for all that food. The staff was so great, I think we heard that the business owner was working the bar too and assisting the staff, which is great to hear. We came back the following week and the consistency of the small tower was not the same, there was way less. Maybe when we first came they were feeling generous but the space is great and I think it's becoming one of our go-tos. read more

Hooked Island Grill - Seafood Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

Showed up for Happy Hour outside to listen to the singer and have some beers and apps. 4:45. Found out HH only goes to 5pm (which is weird). Most go to 6. Then the waiter informed us we can't have HH pricing anywhere in the restaurant other than physically at the bar. There were NO SEATS at the bar. Sorry, he says. Company policy. BS, Brandon. Dumb policy. 1 star for stupidity of management read more

This was a wonderful experience in both laughter and dining. An amazing staff that made sure the time we spent there was perfect. The food was great, the drinks were perfect! read more

Staff was very nice but disappointingly long wait for food to arrive after ordering, close to 50 minutes. Fried shrimp was overly salty but other dishes okay. Very noisy making it hard to talk and hear even to order. Not great value for the price. Staff seemed overwhelmed. Not a do again. read more

Hooked Island Grill was destroyed by Ian in Matlacha & they opened here just recently. We sat outside which was very nice. They were very crowded at 530pm & service was great. Drink selection & beer selection is great, a plus for having My Boy Blue beer! Lacking one star for my dish, the rice was very dry & the ahi was not the best I've had, the grouper bites were delicious. Husband had the grouper Rueben he said it was very good. Their fries are a little weird, the size of a steak fry but extremely thin, they were just ok. We both had a cup of clam chowder which was very good. We will be back for sure to try other things. I should have took a pic of the menu since they're new & it's hard to find one online. read more

We came for lunch/brunch. And we were more than satisfied. Blackened AHI plate was nutritious, and beautifully presented. 1/2 pound of peel and eat shrimp was generous and tasty. Excellent cole slaw. Frank, our server, was charming and hospitable. The ambiance is stark but modern, and as friendly as the wait staff. We will be back, with friends and family! read more

The server could not have done a better job and the food was very good. The Walley was delicious as well as the fries. We were pleasantly surprised at how good it was all the way around and we will definitely go back. The entertainment was also very good. Just a great night out! read more

What a great place. We were on the hunt to find a place to watch the football game and gave some things to eat. As soon as we walked in we were in awe. The ambiance is inviting.The hostess greeted us with a smile. We headed to the bar. The bartender was out of this world. She was welcoming and very attentive. She was in the middle of making someone else a drink no but still welcomed us. We started with the grouper bites. They were cooked perfectly. They come with thin cute fries. We also had the smoked fish dip. Wow! Perfect. Very fresh. Not too much mayo. Not to mention everything was priced well! We really like this place. We definitely be back! read more

Hooked Island Grill - Restaurant Inside - Seafood Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

We Went for dinner before sunset. We were told they could not seat four outside, even though there were multiple tables for six that were available. The deck was hot without any shade or umbrellas. After ordering the food arrived very quickly. The French fries were cold. Green beans were cold. Au gratin was cold. Forgot the coleslaw forgot the tartar sauce and server never returned to the table after the food was served to inquire if everything was OK. On the positive side the oysters were great! The music was loud, but fun and the bar was busy! read more

We love eating at Hooked Island Grill. They have an outstanding variety of food options and beer. Service is always top notch and courteous. They have love music all the time and it's not too loud where you can have a conversation with others at your table without yelling. I highly recommend Hooked Island Grill. read more

I've never left a review before but I'm feeling a little upset right now. Excited to get the magnum Mary. Which was supposed to have 1 lb of crab legs but since they have all you can eat on Sunday and Monday they can not honor the crab legs. Plus the price on the menu says $34.00. No. The actual price when you get the bill is $40. Sorry bout my luck. But can't complain. I got a free piece of key lime pie. I think. I haven't checked the box yet. Might not be any in there. I just think these things should have been discussed when I ordered it and not when given the bill read more

Place was not busy. We were told the seafood boil was unavailable. Waiter seemed very distracted by everything and disappeared often. We ordered a variety of food and appetizers and overall food was mediocre. A large party arrived 30 min before closing and the staff was upset with one of them exclaiming "holy shit" out loud. Followed by a meeting of a few employees being annoyed by their presence and debating where to seat them. read more
