After marching a million miles in a parade I was craving a shrimp poboy and in that moment I missed Genes (RIP). My husband googled and saw Hooks was opened until early morning. Pass this place all the time and never gave it a second thought. Decided to take a chance and glad I did. I got the shrimp poboy dressed with an order of fries and it hit the spot. The poboy wasnt overstuffed but they didnt skimp on the shrimp. My husband also got an order of fried okra which arrived hot and crispy which is no small feat given the travel time in Styrofoam container. There are lots of poboy/seafood places to try and I won't say this place is at the top of my list but service was quick, food was good and they're open late so it's a win for me. read more

This place is conveniently open late, so when you have that craving at midnight, you can call in an order, and it'll be ready within 10-15 mins. I ordered the mozzarella cheese sticks, and I was a bit disappointed by the size of the cheese sticks. And it came with bbq sauce! I don't know who uses bbq sauce with cheese sticks, but I would have appreciated marinara sauce. These cheese sticks were just "OK" so I don't think I'd order it again. Some people. read more

My LG OYSTER plate was horrible. The oil used to fry my oysters was OLD, the batter used was OLD. My Uber driver, 5 's but this place is 0 's. read more

This has to be the worst restaurant in New Orleans! They sent some weird breaded patty labeled as a crab cake! That wasn't a crab cake, as you can see from the picture it's some sort of just weird textured science experiment! The fish tasted eggy and the shrimps were unforgettable. The mozzarella sticks were blah! Carrot cake was hard and stale! The food is old ,extremely low quality , and overpriced! They need to shut this place down because it's a dump like the food they're selling ! I absolutely have no regrets about this review like they have no regrets about selling people trash food! That's how bad it is, I'm not exaggerating! read more

They are on yelp but not actively taking orders. I did not realize this until I went to pick up my order. The place also smelled of urine. I won't be eating from here. read more

This place is really good everything is cooked to order fresh so far I had the chicken plate regular hot and sweet heat all was really good 5 stars read more

I'm give them 4 stars and they open late night and I mean till 3am. Which is a good look. I ordered the whole snapper being an island man I def know how to buss it down eyeballs an all. The fish omg it was crispy seasoned and fried perfectly. It tasted as if it was fried in chicken grease honestly. It was large took up the length of the half pan. My only flag was the lemon pepper seasoning they sprinkle on after it's prepared. For me personally it wasn't needed the fish was perfect without it and with it added made it a bite to salty. Loved the fries also. But I'm a fat frie dude. Def loved this spot will def def be back read more

I get the fried catfish sandwich with fries and a drink. They are open late so its awesome. The wings are also good. It is great for a quick meal that is good but not a drive through. read more

Hooks is a spot I've passed by for years. Well on this day I was w a couple of transplants from Michigan and they raved over hooks and said it reminded them if home. This would sound good to an out of Towner but was a red flag for me lol. We decided to go with the VIP platter ($25). It included shrimp, fish, oysters and fries and some hush puppies. Served in the big tin pan and topped off w/ lemon pepper seasoning and came w 2 Cajun sauces. We asked for 2 more due to the size and was charged an additional .50cent per sauce. The portion was ok the seafood was fried hard. The oysters had that pre battered frozen taste but the lemon pepper seasoning was a good touch but overall it was just ok. The best thing was it was hot. I would say it's a notch above long john silver & more expensive. Good spot for Michigan but not New Orleans to many other options but someone is keeping them in business so it might just be me. read more

Honestly, a 10/10 late night spot. I got a hot sausage on bun with cheese and it definitely hit the spot!

This was sadly disappointing. We spent 45 dollars on food that we can get back home(and better) for half the price. The pictures on doordash are so misleading. My brother and I doordashed the combination plater(shrimp and osyters) and jalapeño poppers and both came unseasoned, bland, and with no type of sauce. The picture of the jalapeños poppers definitely had some kind of sauce with it. It sucks because the reviews and pictures made this seem like a hit. I do NOT recommend !! read more

The food there is amazing. I highly recommend anyone to try their food. Only weekly bases I eat there for lunch.

Good pricing and good food, will go again! We got shrimp, oyster, and chicken platter. read more

Good stuff! Had late night delivery. I ordered liver and wings and I wish there was more balance in the liver and wings. To me there seemed way more liver than wings Wings were seasoned well with thin crispy breading and a citrus/lemon flavor. Pretty meaty but also a bit dry, had to dip in the ranch and marinara provided. I got about 4 wings. There was a ton of liver and I definitely couldn't finish it. Similar breading except the lemon. However I feel like the liver has more nooks and crannies it made it taste like there was way more breading than necessary. I also took full advantage of the dips with those. Food came with good temp. $25 including tips/fees/tax read more

Delicious. We are in New Orleans, so good seafood should always be nearby! I was happy to find this place not very far from my home. Had a craving for some delicious chicken wings and that's what they gave me. I ordered online, my order was ready when I got there, and I took it back home to enjoy the rest of my evening. It hit the spot. read more

Always good service, the guy at the counter is friendly and always nice! I recommend this place, it's a 10/10 In my opinion! Si when you visit this place make sure to tell them that "Ro" sent you! read more

Horrible at its finish. If they prepare as needed then this review would be better but I order a hot sausage po-boy and the darn sandwich was Luke warm and the meat looked dry. read more

Came here Saturday, Oct 20, to pick up a to go order for a group of people and I'm glad we choose this place because it was sooooo good! I only had to wait a few minutes whenever I arrived for my order and the food was fresh/hot when I made it back to our house. I ordered the catfish and shrimp platter that came with fries and a side of okra. The portion were great and the fish was fried hard just like I like it! I even had leftovers to come back to. I would recommend for anyone to try this place out. It's kind of small in there with only a few tables but I'm sure you'll be able to make it work. read more

Late night snack, the seasoning was perfect, I will definitely go back when in NOLA. I love adding new places that know how to cook.

The food is always hot and fresh. I like the different varieties of fish they offer with the rice. The seasoning reminds me of the seasoning at Hip Hop Chicken & Fish in Baltimore and it is so good. I would order ahead unless you don't mind waiting. read more

Hooks is fantastic!!!! A little hole in the wall spot that is serving it up big time! The fried catfish is perfection! The portions are great! The flavor is fantastic. There's nothing more to say except get everything and get it now!!!! read more

This place was OK. The fish was mediocre. It was slightly fried hard. Which is cool. But it was also slightly salty. It was still edible but I couldn't eat too many pieces at one time. I ordered the fish basket with shrimp fried rice. The rice was absolutely terrible. By far the worst Shrimp fried rice I ever had. I had one spoonful and immediately disliked it. It was greasy and it look like they just threw a bag of frozen veggies in there. I never had Shrimp fried rice with corn in it. Overall it wasn't amazing and I probably won't be back. The fish was OK. If I do decide to go back I'll just order fish. read more

This is my go to spot for hot & fresh seafood. I was first introduced through the UberEATS app and have been back, on a weekly basis, since! Their menu includes: PoBoys, fried seafood, and wings. The parking is on the street, around the restaurant, and there's usually spots to squeeze into. The restaurant itself is always clean inside and out. The lobby has a flat screen and they change to any channel you would like. There is ample seating because most customers take their order to go. The staff is always very friendly and willing to assist. The food is made to order, so you don't have to worry about any cold or stale food. The wait time is usually 10 minutes, so order over the phone and save time. They do take phone orders. (Yay!) I usually order the 'Fish, Shrimp, & Wing Meal' & that includes a side item, for $15.99. They also sell candy bars and bottled soda, for your sweet tooth. My food is always seasoned to perfection and satisfies my hungry. Their portions are so large I usually have to eat the rest later. Their to go plates are microwave friendly as well! This place offers awesome customer service, tasty food, and reasonable pricing. If that isn't a triple threat than I don't know what is! read more

So this place gets serious points when it comes to quantity of food for the price you pay. No joke, one po'boy meal is DEFINITELY enough for 2 people to share. Most meals come with a side of fries and a drink. My husband insisted on getting a "VIP" platter and it actually was served to him in a small metal baking tray that looked like it was large enough to feed a small family. The flavor of everything fried was good- we especially liked the fried catfish (super tender, flaky, and crispy) and the wings (some of the best fried wings I've ever had!). The fries and bread were pretty meh though. My poboy was well dressed and I asked for some tartar sauce which was a good complement. read more

Damn sho gonna be a staple for me when I return! We were here on 7/21, kind of late, but you'd never know by the amazing service of the young man workin the counter, that we were late night eaters. We arrived about an hour before they closed, checked the menu and wondered how good it was going to be.. its a super no frills dive. MAN. That food came and I was HAPPILY shoving my shrimp po-boy down my throat. It was HUGE!! Loaded with deliciously fried shrimps, and dressed. I could only eat one half of my sammy-- but she made for some bomb leftovers the next day. We ordered corn nuggets and fried okra.. DELICIOUS!! And I didn't think I liked fried okra. Perhaps it was the "special seasoning", iontkno.. but everything was fabulous! They didn't have any homemade sauces, but they had cocktail, tarter, hot sauce, ketchup and ranch. Our friends got the hot sausage on a bun, and wings plates, and they both said they were delicious!! Literally.. service was stellar, and the food was amazing!! The few guests that came in after us chatted us up, and the energy was definitely love. We'll see yall again! read more

We ordered the shrimp poboy and it's the worse poboy we've ever had in New Orleans. It was dry and the sauce was bland.

The trout is amazing. Quick service and the seasoning is everything but I get it on the side. Get extra hot sauce and the shrimp fried rice is pleasantly surprising. Add your duck and soy sauce and you're in the game! read more

This is one of my favorite spots in the city to grab and go with a shrimp on bun. Yes, I love my shrimp spicy like at Cajuns, but this place is pretty cool. The staff is always fast and friendly with everyone that visit. I almost always order over the phone. I've never had one problem here. Customer friendly! They're willing to fix the problem, if there is one. Nice and hot! Keep up the good job. read more

Always great, ask them to fry your chicken harder because it's a bit juicy. The Red Snapper is so freaking good I would marry the chef if that were a thing! read more

I decided I wanted a fresh Shrimp Po-Boy sandwich. I looked on the Yelp app and came across Hooks. I'm originally from New Orleans but I have never ate at Hooks. I called them over the phone and placed my order which was very convenient. You can also place your order online and pick it up. The guy on the other end of the line asked what did I want on my sandwich. I ordered a Shrimp PoBoy dressed with Mayo, lettuce,and tomatoes. I added cheese to it as well. I asked what size did the Po-Boy come in? He said it was a 12 inch Po-Boy that come with fries and a drink. I thought wow it was a combo for a great price. He said it would be ready in 20 minutes. It was perfect timing. When I arrived he asked did I want seasoning on my fries? I never had anyone to ask that question. I told him he didn't have to season them. I didn't want the season to take away the taste of my shrimp PoBoy. I paid for my food and the guy at the window said; and "grab a can drink from the cooler". I was given my food and I rushed back to my family's home so I can eat in peace. OMG..... It was so delicious. The shrimp was tasty, big and juicy, flavored just right. There were more than 12 shrimp on this Po-Boy. The fries were hot and just enough. The sandwich was dressed perfectly, not too much or too little. I really enjoyed my meal and it was my first visit at Hooks and I will definitely be back, especially when It's late and I want a quick bite. Hooks is open to 4:00 AM on the weekend. I didn't take a picture because I ate into it so fast I forgot to get a picture. read more

First off, my Uber eats driver was great. I paid for cocktail that was an up charge and received none. My shrimp was fine, but my chicken was obviously fried in fish grease. It was so hard, I could not chew. I paid for a tip for my driver only to receive chicken I did not want, a hot drink, shrimp with no sauce, and cold ass fries. I want to give a negative review but will not let me process it with giving any stars. I paid $30 for 6 shrimp and I am highly pissed. read more

Great fish plates. The weight can be a little bit long but you can always go next-door and buy other seafood to take home and cook.

The FOOD here IS FRESH! It's Made to order. Honestly, the time you spend waiting is worth the wait! It looks regular on the outside but boyyy the food is really good! You also get your money's worth with quantity and quality! This spot has many different fried stuff. Fried chicken,fried shrimp,fried oysters,fried mozzarella sticks,and etc. It is really really good! read more

Good food for late night eats. We had the chicken wings and hot sausage sandwiches. It was great!

I had the catfish and the meatpie and both were absolutely delicious. The portion sizes for the catfish were astronomical. Each piece was literally half a catfish in size. The flavor, portion sizes, and price were all amazing. Great hidden find in the city. read more
