Summary for those who don't want to read the whole review: Everything I ordered was FRESH and…read morecooked to PERFECTION. 100% recommendation, just go already! Review: I went in the "to go" side of Hook Fish and Chicken. I didn't know what I wanted and the employee was nice enough to show me the order screen on the wall. It's their cashless ordering system. I looked through and selected my order. I will say, there isn't any pictures on their ordering system for you to see what the items look like, BUT paired with their online menu... I was able to figure it out. I chose 5 wings (did 5 single wings) and mozzarella sticks with bbq sauce and ranch. All sauces are prepackaged and I thought they would add sauce to the wings after frying. They do not but you can order bbq sauce to dip your order in. I must've entered the wrong door because prior to me going, I looked up this restaurant and thought it had a dine-in option. Not a big deal as there's a little community garden right around the corner and I ate in the shade of the garden surrounded by plants. Now onto the food... the wings were COOKED TO PERFECTION! I have NEVER IN MY LIFE had better wings than this restaurants. And that's saying something because I definitely think myself something of a wing connoisseur. They had the PERFECT level of crunch on the outside to wet on the inside ratio, plus the seasoning that they used was some kind of dry rub that was just HEAVENLY. I almost didn't need the bbq! The mozzarella sticks were perfectly fried and had the right level of crunch and the fries were crunch on the outside but soft and amazing on the inside. 100% will go back to this location!

But oh my god is that chicken bomb. They deep fry the whole check wing so the flat and drum are attached. It's very greasy so if you got a sensitive stomach be careful. They then load it with a homemade dry ranch seasoning that makes this even better Now. It's 3/5 because 1.) I don't like fried chicken much to begin with. Only when I really want to hate myself I want it and this is the spot for it 2.) Service and inside both shit I would really recommend this spot but def a different location, all taste the same

I am really surprised by all these negative reviews. Everything I tired from this place was…read moredelicious and I was genuinely stunned by it. They give excellent portions and the food is actually quite good. I tried their 6 piece chicken tender meal with tender sauce, ranch, hush puppies and a pork egg roll (all of which came with the tender meal for free) as well as their fried cookie dough. The chicken itself was delicious. It was perfectly fried and still juicy on the inside. Not too dry at all. And, it wasn't too spicy while still having a lot of flavor. Not too fatty either. Just all around, great chicken. Both of the sauces were delicious too and I'd recommend them. The tender sauce is creamy and has a hint of tartness but I loved it. Great with the chicken. The sides were both very tasty too. The hush puppies were light and crispy. Still a bit sweet too. Exactly like I wanted them. The egg roll was a tad bit stale but still tasty. Stuffed with pork and vegetables. A bit dry but not bad. They even included a lovely piece of bread which was crispy and went well with the sauces. The cookie dough was one of the best desserts I've had in a while. Rich and chocolatey. Perfectly crispy. Great portion and great sweetness level. Tasted like actual cookie dough. Very good. All around, I'm not sure why this place got some of these reviews, and I really like it. Great chicken, great sides, great desserts. They also have a wide range for a menu. Try it out!

This is definitely a local gem. The location I visited was off Fifth Ave not too far from Carlow University, which is where we were dropping our kid off at college. I heard the chicken and catfish were really good and you get your money worth. There was free parking. No place to eat inside just seats for waiting. Cash only!! There is an ATM inside the restaurant. Staff was friendly. I kept adding on to my large order. Gotta fed the kids. Lol! They cook to order so nice hot, fresh food! Fries were seasoned and delicious. Catfish and oysters were really good. Catfish had just right amount crisp to the nuggets. Oysters good as well. My dad said the shrimp were good. I haven't been able to eat shrimp lately. My son said the chicken wings were really good. Cole slaw was decent and I normally do not eat that out but it was. The staff was nice. The location had ample parking. Nice portion size for money paid. Food was really good. The only downside which I think is universal was fries not good in microwave layer. Wish I had my airfryer to bring them back to life. Anyway, check out Hook in Pittsburgh!!

Each chicken strip is literally 1/2 of a breast. At the end, they shake their magic seasoning dust all over your order. WOW! If you are in the Duquesne area, you must stop here. The mix 'n match platter comes how you like it for about $14.00. It is a deal. You get your choice of two items, fries, and bread for one low price. I always choose whiting fish and perch, but the catfish is good also. A+
