So on Saturday Aug 15th, I drove all the way to this restaurant from Atlanta, have eaten here many times in the past but this will likely be my last. First off the place needs to be seriously cleaned, the floors were gross and sticky like they haven't been mopped or cleaned in ages. Likewise the tables and chairs needed to be cleaned. Placed my order of catfish and fries and when they came out there were clearly over cooked, dark in color which suggest the oil needed to be changed and the food had an after tastes. The soda machine had 2 out of service sign meaning no Fanta, I tried the sprite and that was just soda water. The refrigerator behind the counter had 4 drinks total. I requested 2 plates, sorry we're out of plates so I was given to go containers. I requested 2 forks and after searching sorry were have no forks. How does a restaurant not have eating utensils? Only spoons, I actually felt bad for the young lady who was at the check out, she was very apologetic and I'm sure it wasn't her fault but at this point just CLOSE THE DOORS PERMANENTLY OR GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER... Oh and the bathroom was filthy as well, it was a horrible experience especially driving 40 miles to get there. Everyone that entered while I was there complained about something and left... So much potential with the right management and staff. DO BETTER OR CLOSE THE DOORS read more

A simple No! Overly salted fries, under salted fish, I don't have any understanding of the rice and beans dish. The restaurant could be cleaner, service could be better. read more

Great food. Friendly service. Good portions. My family orddered some fish dinners and they were very good. The fish was cooked fresh and there were different flavor options. I chose the lemon pepper for my fish and shrimp. I was afraid it would be salty, but it wasn't. We went in person, but ordered to-go. The restaurant looked clean and even though the place is relatively small, there were plenty of tables. We plan to eat here again. read more

I was so looking forward to having lunch at one of my very favorite restaurants in Lawrenceville only to be so disappointed. I know that they've recently opened another place in Winder, so I'm guessing that is where the owners are spending their time. Upon walking in there was a totally different vibe... not the usual warm welcoming one I've been use too. The woman at the counter wasn't really rude just very matter of fact yet the feeling I got wasn't inviting at all. It was 12:30 and not one table was taken except one lady and a child that I think belonged to the woman at the counter. The menu had changed so I asked if they still had the lunch special to which I was told they no longer had a lunch menu but they had a 1pc catfish with one side and drink. That's what I've always gotten as the lunch special and I was pleasantly surprised to see it had only went up like .90. I ordered my catfish blackened with red beans n rice along with tea. Asked what sauce and I chose tarter sauce and looked for the hot sauce that was usually out on another counter but it wasn't there so I asked for it to be included. My drink use to be half sweet tea and half unsweetened but no more unsweetened tea made there and the sweet is very sweet. My friend and I were dining in and said so when asked yet our food was still in to go containers. As you can tell by my picture the catfish piece was very small compared to what I use to receive but with today's prices I understand....BUT what use to be the BEST RED BEANS N RICE were awful! First they were separated and NO SEASONING at all! For the first time ever I had to go on the hunt for salt n pepper and guess what? No salt n pepper packets. No ketchup for my friends fries which also had changed and not for the better. Then the hushpuppies were tiny grease balls. While we were there only 2 other people picked up to go orders and one other person came in to eat. During lunch it use to be packed! I asked if the owners (delightful people) were at this location or the new one the woman replied both but there's no way either were there because of the food quality and over all atmosphere. I'm so sad and disappointed. I guess I'll have to find another place for my seafood or try the Winder location. read more

Since the owner died, it has become horrible. If you order a poor boy, the bread is often soggy they giggling and laughing so much in the back they barely hear you come in. I've been scared to go back since I had to complain about an order. I don't want nobody spitting in my food because I made a complaint. read more

The catfish with cajun seasoning is OFF the HOOK! Seriously the best catfish we have had. The okra and sweet potato fries also scored high.

Ordered food at 12:16 order wasn't ready until 1:24 for one piece of fish and broccoli and carrots. Once my food was finally ready I asked for banana pudding. The response of the young lady was we sold out. I said ma'am it's 1 PM and I said did you throw something in there for me for this inconvenience or anything and the answer was no, and my response was well that's your review. if you don't wanna do Customer Service don't have a Customer Service job. The customer service was awful read more

The service what's okay, but food to me not too much. The french fries were overly salty. But the fish is pretty good. I cannot deny that. But you asked me for a review and I gotta give you my honest opinion. On the atmosphere is where they messed up, the bathrooms were disgusting. So I'm hoping that they read this review and work on some of these qualities. read more

I saw the review and I went there and was disappointed. The fish was over cooked and the fries were also. When you have to really pull fish apart that is not a good thing. It seem that the fish was frozen when it was cooked. The counter person was great but the fish no good!! read more

This restaurant uses quite a bit of salt in their food, but they have good flavor nonetheless. The service is usually friendly as well. My go-to is the red beans and rice to avoid everything being fried on my plate. Wings are a hit and the fish is good for takeout food. Would definitely visit again. read more

I've had mixed experiences here and it really depends on the day you go. I've been a couple of times for takeout only and the food is really good. The fried shrimp is very tasty and there sauce and sides are also really good. The last time I went, the service was very very very slow and it was not busy at all. We waited over 30 minutes for a takeout order. When we got home, we noticed that this extra sauce that we paid for was not included in the bag. We would've hoped that considering how long it took to get our order at least it would be correct especially considering we paid extra for the sauce. Overall, if I'm really craving seafood, I would go back considering it's close to my home but probably would not be my first go to. Not sure if it's an issue with them being shortstaffed or just slow moving in general, but the service could definitely be improved. read more

Let me tell you something here, go. If you aren't in the area, it is a little bit of a drive, but listen here. Come closer. Go. Go now. This food is off the chain on point, does not miss every single time, is my grandma in the back helping y'all because baby let me tell you something, I don't know how you keep your prices the way you do, but never change them, and for the love of all things good in this world do not change your recipe, because it just doesn't miss. On a whim I tried this place. Called in a to go order, drove back which took about 30 minutes, when I tell you the food was still hot after a 30 minute drive, what? Okay, but here is what really sets this place apart, not only can you pick how you want your fish, grilled or fried, you can pick how you want it prepared. That's right, you want Garlic Parm, they got it. You want lemon pepper, they got it. You want sweet chili, I'll stop you there, they got it. I've never had fish so good, with so many options. It would literally take you days just to go through the whiting, and a couple of weeks to get through the tilapia and catfish. And the sauces, don't get me started. I could bathe in the sweet vidalia sauce, it's that good. Their tag is, "Catch the Flavors." Their tag is 100 and 5% accurate. It may be called off the hook, but once you get caught on the hook of their flavors, you'll be back. read more

Second time we have ordered takeout. I have to agree about the over salted fries. They forgot to give us hush puppies for our order. The fish was either overcooked or the grease had not been changed. I ordered whiting and it was a dark brown. Paid almost 50.00 for 2 fish baskets with coleslaw, an order of fries, and an order of waffle fries. They brought the food out, my husband was standing there, they never told him or anyone whose food it was until about 15 minutes later so the food was basically cold. Not ordering from there again. I sure miss Hondo's. read more

Fish is always fresh! Great family and community vibe. Always packed so you know it's great!

Wasted $20 on overcooked fried shrimp and under cooked fries. They seem to be hit or miss, they can miss me all that!!! Never again, lesson learned. read more

I don't like my time being wasted. I placed an online, curbside order here and called. The individual on the phone hung up quickly the first time I called. The second time I called back to inquire about my order, I was told that they don't offer curbside and maybe I had ordered through Grubhub. I told her the order was placed through their website and not an outside vendor. The response was, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience." My order was not brought outside. Thankfully, I had someone with me in the car who could go in to pick it up. Best wishes to them. I won't be back. read more

Customer Service is outstanding the Owner Mr.Ed and his family are nice and friendly the atmosphere is welcoming the food is freshly cooked to order all the meals are yummy Very clean restaurant thankful to have this restaurant in our community read more

Off The Hook Fish Shrimp & Wings - Restaurant background - Seafood Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

Off the Hook is a staple at our house! We love the grilled shrimp and fish and wings. The fries have a nice balance of salty and sweet and the red beans and rice is good too. We probably order from here once a month if not every other month. read more

Food was ok. I got the 3 pc Catfish Plate for my husband and the Salmon Bowl for myself. It was cooked well with good flavor but it seemed like they didn't clean much. The counters and floors were sticky. That didn't make me feel very comfortable. read more

The food is great. The wait was not. I ordered in the store and was waiting on my order. I tried to order something on the menu on the counter (6 wings) and the girl at the register says "we don't have that option". I pointed it out to her and she was going to go to the back and I stopped her, ordered 5 wings (at a higher price) and paid. They called 4 orders ahead of mine before mine finally came out. A guy that got his order at the same time said he always orders online (his was ready when he got there). It sounds like their popularity is hurting their service. I'll give them another shot at my business. read more

Normally I would give them a 5 stars all across the board however I called and was put on hold for over 11 minutes however when I got there no one was in the building. I was still on hold and I showed the employee Makia B. my phone to show that I was still on hold trying to call in an order. She went and picked up the phone and just shrugged her shoulders. She never apologized. . She just said what do you want to order. The phone rang while I was trying to finally order and she picked up the phone said hello and then hung up on someone. This has never happened to me before and although this won't stop me from coming back. This type of rude and lack of customer service should be addressed. Attached are the pictures to show how many times I called and couldn't get through as well as how long I was on hold. Everyone else was friendly and the food was good as usual. read more

Food was good , service was good but music was very loud for me and my mother. The portions were great, I had fish and shrimp basket and was fish was great and shrimp too. Would recommend as a take out and maybe a sit down read more

Will be back for more. Checked into a nearby hotel and was hungry for local bites after a 4 hour flight from the West Coast. Off the Hook....was off the chain!! My team came in with no expectations and left full and satisfied. The fried catfish and shrimp dishes were great southern comfort hits...along with the hush puppies. and the key lime pie and funnel cake fries were perfect way to end the afternoon hunger. Looking forward to coming back and trying the rest of the menu read more

You will miss the gem if you are not looking for it! Nestled in on Duluth Hwy, Off The Hook was truly that. The seafood and other menu items can be flavored and/or seasoned to your tastebuds delight. The food was well-prepared and the portions are reasonable for your money. If you are looking for good quality seasoned or some other savory items like chicken tenders or wings, Off The Hook does it all well. Don't sleep on the dessert offerings either, they will knock your socks off. Above all, go with an appetite because you are going to need it. read more

Good food and front of house staff. Manager or cook going off in the back because I was inquiring about my order after a hour long wait, saying "everyone's been waiting a hour, etc etc. Don't ever order your food through Grubhub. I probably just won't come back. The food is good though (This review was left in my drafts but I never did return and won't) read more

The food is just good! Fish could be fried a little harder but the food is always flavorful and good.

Food was really good my first time going about 3 weeks ago and as I'm typing, I just placed another order for tonight (lol)! I love that it's 5minutes from my house as well. read more

I can't say a lot too bad - other than the 2 times I've been I was disappointed with my food. The service each time was not bad, but also not good. I had to wait until the order being taken by a regular came to end ( we had to listen to how life was going and comments until the interaction ended to move to next guest ). read more

Consistently delicious! In the five years I have been coming here, I have never regretted anything.

Good service, great food, nice people, fair price, location hard to find and get in and out. Have eaten in and ordered to go.

Love this place the fish and shrimp always a hit! I wish they had a fillet of grouper as well as the fingers bc they are so good!

Great food and service! Already want to go back to try some of the sides I didn't order. Had shrimp with garlic and Parmesan, grits, okra, and hush puppies. The Vidalia onion Cole slaw also sounded good. Several different fish options and wings are available too. Will definitely return! read more

Great value for seafood and wings. The salmon bites were perfect. Had the shrimp and wings with Thai chili sauce Lots of choices Food cooked fresh. The cashier was knowledgeable read more

Food was super salty. I couldn't finish my shrimp and fish because they put way too much salt. I like my food salty but this was like a cup of salt poured on my food. I would not return. It was a small shop basically just to order togo. read more

Excellent selection with wonderful flavors! The garlic Parmesan shrimp were phenomenal. I've also had the shrimp poboy and loved it. We've been back several times and will continue to come back! read more

Excellent service! Very friendly! The fish & shrimp were very fresh and cooked perfectly. The hush puppies were good but a lot smaller than I'm used to. I like that they split our combo onto separate plates for us. The funnel cake fries with strawberry syrup were AMAZING & the banana pudding was also a winner! We would definitely come again! Only complaint was the small parking lot and we missed the entrance because it looked like the turn in for the apartment complex and aldi so we had to do a u-turn and come back read more
