A hidden gem. Live music, good food, easy parking. We will be back for sure. The decor was fun too.

Our tasty travels continue... We walked in to this well decorated seafood house and could already tell it's a popular local spot. Our waitress Jess had our drinks going in no time and as some of you know dining with kids can be challenging and sometimes getting food in front them asap is important. She had her order in and moving asap and that chicken tender meal out asap. Little yelper said they were the "best ever"... we questioned that and I tried a small piece and yep they were fresh and some of the best we can recall in recent dining experiences. There were several bowls of the clam chowder around the table and everyone was in full agreement that it was fantastic. Rich flavor and a healthy amount of clam and potatoes in the each spoonful. The fish and chips, it was a healthy portion of fish, fries and the coleslaw. Well done fish and the tartar sauce was fantastic. The chicken dinner was a heaping mound of chicken bacon and mashed potatoes with a side of corn. It tasted as great as it looked. A fish Reuben? Yep. Again another treat for the tastebuds just like the shrimp tacos. I don't do 5 often but this place definitely deserves it. Freshness, flavor and service all were spot on. Highly recommend visiting off the hook. read more

As one of the original Louis patrons.. it bothers me that there is no homage to the basset hound that lived in that location. But I digress. So much has changed in the neighborhood I grew up in. Th3 food here is great. I wish they had some of Grumpy Whites entres.. meatloaf gravy, mashed n corn. Check breast with the same.. peeps love comfort food. Nothing like it when you dont have to cook! Love this place. Return again and again with my mother.. I left the Neck years ago but am always happy to return read more

We'll bust my britches! Sat. At 5:30 w a reservation. It was a rainy night. Worth the trip out to Hough's Neck. Tucked away, a secret spot. Enjoyed the calamari appetizer, baked haddock dinner for 16.00 was a nice big piece of haddock baked w crumbs, real red potatoes mashed and fresh not frozen broccoli crowns. The vibe here is family, friends and locals. Salt water down the street. Great big parking lot. Although this is Feb. not sure about beach season if you can park there. Folks I was with enjoyed the sirloin steak, cooked to your liking with same sides, I tried it. Thick and juicy. Lobster ravioli reported as good, three oversized raviolis. Our waitress Jenn did a great job getting our order together and checking in with us. Very professional and nice, we loved her. The bar is half this place a square shape and people were listening to two musicians playing nice background music. I will be back. read more

Updated from 3 to 5 stars thanks to our amazing waiter! We were disappointed on our last visit to Off the Hook, but we're so glad we gave it another try. Our out-of-town guests wanted dinner with live music, and it turned out to be a great choice. We sat on the dining side--close enough to enjoy the music while still able to talk easily. The Angry Onion was the perfect start--crispy, flaky, and lightly spiced with chipotle. The crock of French onion soup had just the right balance of rich broth and gooey cheese. My blackened scallops were slightly undercooked for my taste but still delicious, served with a generous portion of creamy parmesan spinach risotto. The fish and chips were also a hearty serving, and everyone enjoyed their meals and beverages, including the specials. A special shout-out to Cole, our server, who truly made the night. His friendly personality, spot-on recommendations, and attentive service turned a good meal into a great experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

The food is amazing !! Super large portions and served fresh/piping hot. Can't wait to return in the summer such a hidden gem. Service was great, warm and fuzzy. Definitely will return. read more

I thought I had posted this review only to find it still lurking in my "draft folder". This is from a visit this past August. Please note that in the intervening few months, things may have improved. This is a cute place that we had heard good things about so we sought it out for a late lunch. We were promptly greeted and given our choice of booths. To the left of the entrance there is a large bar area surrounded by booths. To the right of entrance are more booths which when we arrived was an empty area. We opted to sit there as there were a number of occupied tables and a fairly full bar on the other side. We were brought menus and ice water right away. Unfortunately within ten minutes of being seated, the air conditioning unit (it was a quite hot August afternoon) which was positioned not far from us kicked on. From where we were sitting the a.c. unit gave off a very loud and unpleasant noise. that sounded like an extremely loud blender. The noise felt especially disruptive to Tom and so we asked to move. We were nicely accommodated and we moved to the far and opposite side of the restaurant which was better in terms of the noise. Apparently this restaurant has an antiquated kind of a.c system which kicks on and off as needed. I ordered the fish and chips and Tom ordered the fried scallop plate. Both came with fries and a tiny ramekin of coleslaw. I always wonder why restaurants generally serve such tiny quantities of coleslaw. It is inexpensive enough to make and when done right, one always wants more. These were skimpy portions. Both our dishes came out plated beautifully on clear white large square plates. They had a cute idea to serve the fries in a miniature facsimile of a fry basket. While this was a fun idea, we were dismayed to see that these mini baskets were delaminating. They are made out of some kind of metal (I am guessing not stainless steel) and the metal had been coated with something but you could readily see that the coating had come off in some areas. Oh no!... not good at all. There were no flakes of whatever this coating was on the fries thank goodness but these need to be replaced asap. They should not be used in my opinion! (When I got home I looked on Amazon and the same fry baskets are available in uncoated stainless steel and are not expensive at all. Note to management: replace those terrible mini fry baskets immediately.) While my fish and chips were tasty enough, the fish was overcooked and hence dry. Pity. The fries themselves were nothing special and even a bit mealy inside without the nice crunch on the outside. Tom enjoyed his scallops well enough; the portion looked fairly generous and he was happy with them. He too was quite dismayed by the fry basket situation. While we both had the ice water (much appreciated as it was a very muggy day outside), I also ordered a white sangria. As sangrias go this was mediocre at best. The fruit it contained was a lone thin orange slice and a maraschino cherry. It tasted watered down. I would not order it again. It was a poor excuse for a sangria. I am not sure I would give this place another try; there are are just too many other places we know that have better lunch options and too many as of yet untried new restaurants. Sometimes a place needs to get more things right on that first all-important visit. Our waiter was very nice btw. I wish I had gotten his name. He was running the whole place by himself when we were there including the bar. Prices are reasonable. read more

My friend and I returned for lunch on Saturday. We arrived about 5 minutes after opening. We both enjoyed Fish & Chips. Melissa enjoyed fries and coleslaw "on the side" + tartar sauce. I substituted a "side salad" for my fries-a plentiful caesar salad. Delicious. We both enjoyed piping hot coffee on their thick-walled mugs. Great service. The only regret was that this wasn't a Sunday when the live Reggae music flows! read more

Went for Father's day brunch. Made reservations. Sat for 25 min with no service had to ask for a waiter. Food was poor . Rubbery bacon chicken and waffles tasted like Tyson tenders and a super spicy chili sauce with coleslaw on top. Not good read more

We are so excited that OFF the HOOK has some of Grumpy White recipes. The garlic cheese burger is fantastic. The added side of parmasean garlic fries were a generous portion. Service was better than expected considering how busy they can be.The neighborhood friendliness was a nice unexpected addition. The bar had music that was a nice touch.Clean & accessibility for everyone We will be back often read more

This charming neighborhood eatery was exactly what we were looking for. Away from the hordes of tourists and the exorbitant prices and traffic, we felt as if we found a new favorite diner. The crowd was friendly and welcoming. The staff was kind and helpful with helping me decide what to order. I started with a sweet whiskey concoction, the Big Ginger. Then, a cup of clam chowder with lots of potatoes and large bites of clam meat. Wonderful! My entree was blackened sea scallops on a large serving of creamy risotto with spinach. Everything was absolutely delicious! While we were there, a rousing trivia night was going on. And while we were just answering questions amongst our table, next time I hope to actually compete. read more

Fantastic food. So fresh and full of flavor. Waitstaff is friendly and knowledgable. Our waitress Jen was the epitome of what a server should be. Helpful, kind, funny, and offered suggestions. We never had an empty glass or plate on our table. She was very attentive. Will absolutely visit again. read more

Had clam chowder and fish and chips. Both were the best I ever had. Russo, our waiter, was knowledgeable friendly and efficient. Don't even think about it, just go! read more

Oh how cute is this place?! I love the really cool whimsical/nautical artwork all over the walls. It draws you in and makes you feel like you're at the beach! My first visit here was decent. My friend and I sat at the ample-sized bar, which had no beers on tap (how odd), only bottles & cans. I ordered the fish & chips for dinner. The shape of the fish was off, which makes me think it was previously frozen, but it was a large portion size and I really liked the thick batter it was fried in. Frozen or not, I really enjoyed it and couldn't stop eating even when I was stuffed! Cole slaw was a bit watery but flavor was still good. They have trivia and live music on certain nights which sounds fun. I look forward to coming back! read more

I would love to use expletives for this miserable experience. I had the Blackened Wahoo. Blackened to a rancid fishy smelling dried out brick firmness. Ate two bites and the foul taste made me gag . I am home now trying to keep this chum cocktail down. My bowels are roiling, my palms are sweating, I am shaking. The calamari was mostly fried peppers that spent too many hours in the frier. Angry onion was OK. Lobster roll was OK. Rice was good. Mini salad good. Kid ordered French dip. A mountain of boiled gray mystery meat on a charred stale bun with cheese and onion glop on top.. Salmon teriyaki was recognizable. I know I am going to blow chunks, and if the lord is merciful, it will be soon. I will let you know if it tastes better on the way back up. I'll be riding the bowl like Slim Pickens at the end of Dr. Strangelove. Yeah, I know, don't order the fish special on thursday. read more

Grumpy Garlic Burger... So good! Will definitely be back, quick service. Friendly atmosphere

If you are looking for a local place with great food and good prices then Off the Hook is a great place. Found them on yelp when looking for a spot for dinner with my wife and son and couldn't be happier. It's a little off the beaten path but that is part of what makes it great. We all went with the seafood, we ordered the Fish and Chips, the Baked Trio and the Hooked up stuffed Flounder and everything was delicious. The service was prompt and our server was attentive and friendly but not overbearing. The atmosphere was exactly what you would expect from a local Seafood place, relaxing and laid back and the live music was just the right volume that you could still have a conversation at your table. We will definitely be heading back there on our next trip to the area. read more

This was our first time at OTH. We started with some yummy Lobster Rangoons with spicy chili sauce. Years ago when in the area we would stop into Grumpy White's (now closed) in Quincy for what we thought were the best Steak Tips around. Recently we stumbled upon a review that said that OTH had the Original Grumpy's recipe. Thinking we'd never have those Tips again we had to go check it out. Let me tell you, these tips took my taste buds back a bit. They were cooked perfectly, so tender and tasted as good as I remember if not better. The broccoli was steamed perfectly and the mashed potatoes tasted homemade. Saw a few dishes go by that looked delicious, definitely going to have to go back again soon. read more

We frequent OTH for last few years. 1 st time getting the clam chowder bread bowl and pizza. The Bread bowl was fresh and chowder rich and creamy with plenty of clams. It was one of the best chowders I've had in a loooong time. The pizza was very good also. Loved the doughy crust. Used to be able to get a seat at bar but seems like word is getting out about the great food and friendly waitstaff. read more

The food was amazing. We had the Ahi Tuna (mouth watering), buttered lobster roll (to die for). The truffle fries were not that spectacular. Oh the coleslaw was also creamy & delicious. The service was good and fine. The ambiance was game day ready. read more

Made an impromptu visit after kid's soccer game nearby and was very impressed! Attentive service, dog friendly outside, and the brunch was yum! Loved the home fries (too often home fries in restaurant are undercooked and/or bland - neither was true in this case). I had the breakfast tacos and they were huge! We'll definitely return. read more

Management even stopped by our table to see how we liked our first experience here. Much appreciated!! read more

Off the Hook is a great hidden gem in Hough's Neck Quincy...great food and atmosphere...McKayla works the bar on Friday lunches and makes everyone feel at home and provides excellent service...worth a trip down the Neck to see Mckayla and the rest of the staff serve you delicious meal and great experience!! read more

Very good atmosphere, local people local neckers my grandpa used to go there every single day it is one of the best eatery's in Quincy!!! Shoutout to the owners for helping my family out and renting the place to us after his loss. 5 stars read more

It a little hidden in Quincy's Houghs Neck Neighborhood but I promise it is worth the Drive if you're not close! I haven't tried dinner there yet but I went there for Brunch this last Sunday & The atmosphere was great with live music and the food was delicious for reasonable prices! The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is because we were sat in the bar area and although the music was great it was a little bit too loud. If they turned the speakers down just a tiny bit it would've been perfect but either way I'd still rather the music as it was than not at all because it just added to the fun atmosphere. Also for brunch they should add eggs & toast to their sides. I asked the waitress if I could get a kids meal of eggs & toast along with my meal (delicious Nutella and fruit waffles) and she said she could just add them as sides so that was good. It would be good to add them to the menu as sides though so people know & can see the price because It wasn't much at all for the side egg and toast. All & all it was a great experience & definitely recommend going there esp for their weekend brunch! read more

Tried Off The Hook for the first time today. Good vibe and I came because my sister-in-law recommended the Southern Hot Chicken Sandwich. The sandwich is described as stacked with fried chicken, hot honey, coleslaw and pickles. What I got was a fried chicken breast with lettuce , tomato and pickles. No hot honey or coleslaw. (There is no other chicken sandwich on the menu) Now I can understand missing a pickle but I don't understand how you miss the two ingredients that make this sandwich a southern hot chicken. I did decide to eat as is since my wife had her burger and I would rather have a hot temp chicken breast than a lukewarm chicken breast because I had to wait for our server to check on us, bring to kitchen and have them remake it I will leave the rest of my comments out but they certainly need some type of kitchen awareness or menu training. Will I go back, maybe....., read more

Just had Sunday brunch here at the bar, great reggae band (Dis n dat) made for a lively and very enjoyable time at this cool spot. We had the fish tacos (haddock) and the salmon eggs benny, both were awesome! The salmon was cooked perfectly, most places overcook it, this was just rare enough. Both meals were very tasty and fresh. Had a really nice and professional bartender, Michaela who made this a great experience. Had just the right amount of TVs for when there's a good game on. Nice sized square bar and a bunch of cozy booths. The band was nestled in the corner and played some great music at just the right volume. This might just become my new place.. read more

mckayla is an amazing bartender... customer service was great.. she was nice and sweet...

I was super excited to try this place for my birthday dinner...let's just say I left hungry. Wait staff was inexperienced ...when I asked for recommendations she stated "I usually have the chicken strips" I asked if the lobster Rangoon were made in house and was told yes...they looked like the just came out of a freezer bag and the jar sauce served with them was less appealing. We never got our appetizer plates she was on her way to get. The clam chowder came out Luke warm and flavorless. I ordered the blackened swordfish on special came out salty and fishy tasting. While the spinach risotto was hot...eh. The haddock was ok...little flavor. read more

I got lucky and there was live music and got the last bar seat the night I went. The bartender was mostly attentive but was helping a huge crowd so I understood some delays were natural. Ordered the twin lobster rolls that were pretty packed and good, but I don't think matched the menu description. Again, it was still good so no complaints there. What I loved about the place was it seemed to be very well frequented by locals. Seemed like a place where everyone knew each other's name. Was nice. read more

Food gone downhill, found live parasites in food. very clicky with neighborhood, unless you are family don't go here.

Slow services, prices not the same as the house delivered flyer. Not much help, only one server and bartender.

I have now been to this wonderful place twice and it was even better the second time. Very nice bar and plenty of parking in the public lot right outside and no charge for parking. The Chowder is excellent and the broiled or baked Haddock dinner is the best that you will find in The Quincy area and beyond. The service was excellent. I also ordered a very good Caesar salad with my Haddock dinner. Nobody does it better than this place. I'm a Dorchester guy and I'm not far away from Houghs neck but I still consider this place a hidden gem. It's always crowded and it's obviously because people know. I met a friend after for a beer at The Fox and Hound. Very few people there on a Thursday night but Off The Hook far down on Sea Street was absolutely crowded. Every table and every chair at the bar were taken. I have not tried the Steak tips yet but they are Doms steak tips and I have been told they are a favorite. My dinner came with a very generous serving of mashed potatoes and a vegetable. I'm 66 years old and this place serves the very best Haddock I have ever had. Much better than the Clam Box or Tony's. I do prefer it baked or broiled. It's just better and healthier than fried fish. Of course I love Fish and chips too but this was fantastic. Do yourself a favor and go to Off The Hook sometime. You will surely thank me later read more
