Hookin' Ain't Easy... and neither is deciding what to order!…read more This hidden gem is proof that great seafood doesn't need fancy table service. You order at the food truck, grab a picnic table under the trees, and wait while everything is cooked fresh. The sign says, "Be patient. Be kind." Trust me, it's worth both. The smoked wahoo dip disappeared embarrassingly fast. Creamy, smoky, and packed with flavor. The blackened grouper sandwich was the star of the show. Perfectly seasoned, flaky, moist, and piled high on toasted bread with fresh toppings. The soft shell crab sandwich was crispy, sweet, and one of those meals that requires extra napkins and zero shame. Even the roasted broccoli was charred just right. Come for the seafood. Stay for the quirky atmosphere. Leave wondering why you've waited so long to eat here.

Casual! Whole fried snapper! Fried Wahoo! Local fish! Full menu, full bar…read more Hookin' Aint Easy Seafood Company is a cool house converted into a fish market and patio with a food truck and a bar with chairs with backs. There's plenty of umbrellaed tables and picnic tables. They have a full menu of apps, seafood, and burgers. Their whole fried snapper is one of our favorite fish, and Hookin' serves a generous serving, perfectly tender and sweet, in a light crispy layer of coating, on a regular soft bun, with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Their Fried Wahoo is also well-prepared. We got fried, and it was tender and fresh. Both fish came with a heaping serving of hot crispy fries. You could also get either fish blackened, and you could add various veggies as sides. We ordered our food and also picked it up ourselves at the bar. Hookin' can get crowded, especially when they have a live musician, and parking can get pretty tight. It's just off I-275 at 22nd St, in St. Pete Fl east of Gulfport. They keep their social media pretty up-to-date, but we didn't track down a "regular" webpage.

Beautiful murals and quirky decor are located throughout this outdoor restaurant. They have a gorgeous bar inside by the bathrooms if you need to get out of the heat. This is a regular spot of my friends so I was in no way surprised at how good the food was. The shrimp was fresh, crunchy shrimp and the mullets seasons is perfection. Cocktails are above average and reasonably priced. Parking can be a beast though!

We started with the crispy pork belly, which looked a little on the drier side when it arrived but don't let that fool you, the brown sugar bourbon glaze it was dressed in was delicious. Really enjoyed it as a starter. The tavern burger came highly recommended as one of their best dishes, and while it was a good burger, it didn't quite blow us away. Surprisingly mild on flavor despite the toppings, and it's a BIG boy... which I know some people love, but I tend to prefer a smash burger so I'll take partial responsibility for that note! The fries, however, were excellent... textured, crispy, exactly how fries should be. The real standout of the visit was the chilaquiles (the chef's brunch special). It ran a little dry, but the flavors more than made up for it. The combination of crunchy tortilla chips, smoky sauce, pickled onions, egg, avocado, and cilantro all together was just so good... my boyfriend was equally obsessed. Would absolutely order again. Service was great and overall had a really enjoyable visit... Stillwaters continues to deliver a solid experience and I'll keep coming back!

Completely outdoor space with bar, small tables, and high tops for small to medium groups! Casual, beachy vibe, with umbrellas and tastefully modern beach decor. Bartender was incredibly friendly, offered wonderful recommendations, and remembered my name throughout my stay! Counter service food, separate from the bar. Fun seafood apps and an intentional mains menu make this a great spot for a light dinner or apps and drinks! I had the daily catch, which was amberjack, citrus rub, with slaw and taters. It was a lovely meal with flaky fish, tangy slaw, and decadent potatoes! Good value for the cost! Had the Gone Fishing to drink, which came served in a themed bobber glass. Rum-forward without being too boozy, balanced with sweetness and nuance from the tea. Surprisingly elevated for a beach bar vibe! Would absolutely recommend! Top it all off with some chill live music and you have the perfect evening for this guy! :)

Why I am only giv8ng two stars is on their menu they have a Cajun ribeye. It is Cajun because it come with Cajun butter. I ordered it medium and it was cooked medium, but it was dry like it had started out frozen. It also in my humble opinion was not a ribeye, but a thick cut sirloin. My server said that was not the case, but I eat and cook a whole lot of steak and I don't think my pallet is that off. So there is that.

EXPERIENCE: I love…read morethis restaurant downnnnn!!!! The food is always amazing and service is soo sweet and attentive. Took my parents here and they thoroughly enjoyed it -- especially being able to walk the pier afterwards. A little tip -- It's a bustling environment, lively, and very busy. Please be patient with the workers! With that being said, I strongly recommend making a reservation. I was surprised at how busy it was for a Monday night. FOOD: Calamari 10/10 -- I always and will continue to order this appetizer every time I come here. It's delicious, no notes! Shrimp Ceviche 10/10 -- A good tangy sour taste and they give you more than enough chips to dip. Mussels 8/10 -- Hurts my heart to rate anything here below a 10 but the portion size was too small. Maybe it's due to the fact that most of the mussles were empty. The sauce was rich though! I loved dipping it with the bread that was provided. Roasted Half Chicken 8/10 -- I didn't try this, it was my dad's entree. He said it was good but he's never been a huge chicken fan. Just wanted to try something new. It is a huge portion despite being only half. Maine Lobster Roll 10/10 -- This was my mom's entree but I am huge lobster fan so I stole some. I loved it. It's creamy goodness. Original Panko Crusted Sandwich -- I always get this as my entree and it never fails to satisfy me. It's definitely the remoulade that keeps me ordering this every time. It's sooo good. Especially with ketchup (sorry lol!). Penne with Shrimp 9/10 -- My sisters entree. She is a huge pasta fan and she loved how cheesy it was. Even my dad enjoyed a few bites from her dish.
