Love the idea--great colors and from our POV, the truck was clean and bright. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Menu options were clearly advertised.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was friendly. An older gentleman asked a few questions about their sourcing and if this was actually Alaska cod--the employee laughed nervously and said, yes to everything. Not very convincing..lol. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For the price point, I would expect a larger serving of fries and another piece of fish (=4).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Competitors in area serve larger sections of cod for $5-7 less per meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Oh well, not a bad experience, but not one I would pull off a road for either. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The food was good, I'm glad I doubled the frys.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Two orders $45. No drink no sides just frys.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You would be better off spending your money elsewhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]First time trying there Fish and Chips and I was totally blown away by the Amazing Taste[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and especially how quickly I got my order because they're normally pretty crowded because of the Fantastic Fish and Chips read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The fish is awesome and the service is fast and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pay no attention to reviews that subtract stars simply because they ran out of tartar sauce. A food truck can only carry so much and they already state product does run out and to get there as soon as you can to make sure you get what you want.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Still the best fish and chips on this side of the pond.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just remember that every business has a bad day. If you happen to be there on that day, please don't just jump into a review that might impact this business in a negative way without giving them a chance to change your mind. Also consider that some customers have more bad luck than others or shouldn't have tried On The Hook in the first place. I will still give them SIX STARS ****** because they deserve the best review they may have ever had. read more

I stood in the cold today for 45 minutes and all I ordered was a clam chowder and fries. Bizarrely poor service, so I'm never doing that again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On a positive note, the chowder and fries tasted very good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, this was the 6th (yes, sixth) time I tried to get the chowder. The prior five times, they said were out of didn't make any.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unreal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have very few items on their menu, so how can one item be out so often?!?!? Makes no sense. Get organized and communicate![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had their fish once and hated it. Very oily and had thick batter. Could barely taste the fish. Never again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

On the Hook is a traveling food truck that frequents Columbia! They set up in the parking lot of Buchheit and [[HIGHLIGHT]]their food is always amazing! Everything is made fresh to order[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and it is always busy depending on what time you go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their fish pieces are huge, crispy, and light.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would totally recommend checking them out when they're in town! read more

Fish are the size of hot dogs before breading. For what they're charging it's a crime for the petite sized fish. I've had better fish at area restaurants twice the size for 19.99 with fish, chips, and tarter sauce. On the surface the price isn't bad considering it's a food truck but where they get ya is the portion size. Beware, the portion for the price is a rip off. Look at the pictures. You've been warned. read more

This food truck serves up some of the absolute best, Fish & Chips. It comes about once a month to the same location in Glen Carbon. It sets up on the far edge of the parking lot for Lowe's, so it is easy to find. Their cod is line caught, not net, which means it is super fresh. Once it is on board the boat, it is cleaned and frozen. Processing it so quickly locks in the flavor. The fish is prepared to order and has a light crisp coating. The flakey cod is hot and steam rolls off of it as you break it with a fork, or bite into the big pieces. The fries are equally as crisp and fresh. I am not a tauter sauce man, but I do like theirs. The lines can be long depending on the time of day you go, but they move quickly and the staff inside the truck is friendly and professional. I like it so much, I go every time they are in town. If you become a fan too, I recommend signing up for alerts so you know when they are in town. read more

This food truck rolls in frequently throughout the year. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cod is always fresh out of the fryer and enough for lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Grab their clam chowder or new cod cakes to fill up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cod cakes are 5 mini fish fried fish balls. They would be a good kid (1-4 year old) lunch as they are similar to fish sticks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The fries are a go to and I could eat them alone just for a snack![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The crew is always so friendly and love to tell you about their travels and which sauces to mix and try to enhance your meal experience. The wait is usually 8-10 minutes but on good days the lines can get long at noon and 5pm so be prepared to stand or wait in your car. read more

I went to On The Hook when they came to Olathe recently. Customer service was great. Fish and fries were hot, fresh and made to order. Only complaint I had was that they ran out of tartar sauce. Tartar sauce is a STAPLE. If anything, that is the last thing to run out of. However, I still enjoyed my good. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The fish at this truck has always been hot and fresh![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has good flavor and is truly one of my favorite places for fried fish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do not have lemon that is my biggest complaint lol they can be a bit stingy with ketchup but that is when they are at their busiest so I always make sure to pack up what I like with fish and bring it along.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We also usually stop at McDonald's and get a fountain drink as their drinks are not fountain drinks. The service is yes fast, but that is acceptable on their busiest of times because they don't precook your food, it is cooked when you order it so the food is always piping hot. If you like fried fish and having a car picnic suits you then it is well worth adding them on Facebook to be notified of when they are in the area. read more

I am a fan of food trucks, and this truck shows up in different places around the metro. I visited today in Lee's Summit. Menu is limited, as to be expected with a food truck. Fish &Chips $16 + local taxes. You can order extra fish, and you just get fries $6. They were out of root beer for $3 and coleslaw. If you want to eat here, find an alternate place to get your beverage. So now for the food. The fries are great, coated fries, crispy, and hot. Comes with malt vinegar and ketchup. There is also a sweet dipping sauce that I did not use. You get 3 large pieces of fish. Crispy coating but does not overpower the fish. White fish that is fresh and does not taste 'fishy'. As a food truck experience, this was great. As for food, it was good. I would definitely buy fish from On the Hook again. read more

I've tried On the Hook twice now, hoping the first visit was just a fluke, but both times were disappointing. The fish tasted fine, but the portions were way too small for the price they charge. For what I paid, I expected to leave full - instead, I left hungry. If you want good fish and better value, Captain D's is the way to go. Bigger portions, better prices, and you actually feel like you got your money's worth. Sadly, I can't recommend On the Hook based on my experiences. read more

I love it when Fish on the hook comes to town, but today was the worst meal I have ever had. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very little fish in all the breading, and the fish that was there was extremely dry and tough.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So disappointed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This was my first time at a food truck, so if there's something going on with them, I'm probably not the one to ask. We went to the food truck this week, got there at 10:57, three minutes before they were supposed to open. They were having some kind of trouble and didn't open the window until 11:14. We got three very modest size fish pieces that cost $14. I've paid that much for good cod before, so that didn't bother me any. It was good, but I've had just as good at Grand Slam in High Ridge, Missouri, and better at Schottie's on Lindbergh-- both were cheaper with much bigger portions. The french fries were delicious, but I would consider it a small order and they were an outrageous $7. The coleslaw, with an Asian dressing, was also delicious. The serving size was so embarrassingly small--four bites--that its $3 price tag was just short of highway robbery. We also got a bottled root beer, which I think cost around seven dollars. Our entire bill was just shy of $30. Again, my knowledge of food trucks is very limited, so maybe this is a normal experience price-wise at one. Nonetheless, I won't be going back and I can't recommend On the Hook. read more

Traveling food truck. caught them in Excelsior Springs. was a chilly afternoon and they had a full line from opening at 11am until closing at 7pm. Fish and chips were not super greasy and were very hot hot hot right outta the fryer. all cooked beautifully and crisp not soggy. Appreciate they put everything in grease absorbing thick recycled cardboard containers and not styrofoam. this helps it not get soggy if you drive your food home. they sell Chowder as a special. (look on papers posted in windows for special items off menu!) and also sell drinks like bottled sodas. $15 for the fish and chips. option to buy just fish or chips or add more of either. tatar sauce, vinegar and ketchup provided in each meal. Coleslaw also. Nice staff. Cards and online payments (like apple pay) only. NO CASH except tips accepted. read more

Had people tell me about this food truck and even saw pics, where people would stand in the rain (for this place). Well, tonight I tried it - and I wish (I liked) this place - as I like supporting food truck operations. This isn't anything to write home about - and there is hardly a reasonable value to the end product. Fish: Some sort of bland farm raised fish filets, which aren't hardly too big at all. The batter starts to go more tempura style, which is fairly bland and lacks any punch of seasoned flavor. Fries: These are like a double fry exterior fry, that are some ok, even decent, pre-fab fry product (from Sysco or some other food supplier). Are they the likes of a great fresh-cut fry? Not at all. Cost: See the pic of (3) smaller fish fillets and fries. That is $15. Served out of a food truck in a styrofoam container. Conclusion: The food is marginally ok at best. It isn't anything worth seeking out as "Oh, this is really good". And you certainly won't think: "Oh, this is some special food fish". So, (the fish and chips) is hardly a value at all...for what you get in food. read more

I guess inflation has hit this food truck too.... [[HIGHLIGHT]]The fish was smaller by far that it use to be...and more expensive[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], [[HIGHLIGHT]]also no fries some with any longer you have to buy them separate...rediculas....also soggy after asking for extra crispy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wont get it again. read more

I wish I could give this place a better review but the truth is I am just not loving it. My in-laws in Dallas told me about this place, as On The Hook moves around and the Dallas metro are is one of their stops, so I decided to give it a try while they were in Springfield, MO. Unfortunately I found the fish to be much too overwhelming for me. It sort of reminded me of the Van de Kamps fish sticks I used to eat as a kid. Remember those? The fries were off the hook however, so that's the good news. I prefer a good catfish above all else, so maybe my tastes are just less refined than others. My wife loved it much like her parents. So maybe give it a shot for yourself before you pass them off based on this review alone. Then do the Yelpers a favor and write your own review of On The Hook. With so few reviews I think this business deserves a broader sampling before any review is taken as gospel. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Of course their cod is excellent![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] BUT as a result, that creates the only bad thing about the experience....the long line. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Well, the only other negative aspect is that they're a bit expensive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But we always look forward to "Fish Day" at our house! YUM!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The main reason for the low rating was the slowness of the truck. We arrived at 6:15 expecting to leave by 7, but instead we got met with a 2 hour line/wait time for our food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we got the food it was not only dry, but also unseasoned. It had no flavor, and was definitely not worth our time or money[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (we spent $25 each and tipped). The service was good, but that's the only positive aspect about the experience. read more

I've been meaning to find On The Hook Fish Truck since I saw them on Facebook. I chose the windiest night to locate them. They were in the parking lot at Lee's Summit At Home store. There were quite a few people waiting. One the Hook has Fish and Chips and that's it. A plate has 3 large pieces of breaded fish and battered fries. It's $14. It's worth the cost. The fish are large pieces, in smooth batter. They come with sirachi mayonnaise and tater sauce. There's a few menu options as well. If you have the chance, find this truck. It's worth it! read more

A perfect takeout meal had a busy line with a 15-20 min wait for food pick-up on a lenten Friday. A dedicated client following for their food truck, even in the rain! Simple menu of wild Alaskan Cod, lightly battered and fried to perfection! Order Fish (3 pcs), Chips ala carte or Fish-n-Chips combo, served with traditional Tartar Sauce, a Sriracha mayo and ketchup for fries. No dine-in or eating tables, so ambience is wherever you want to go to eat your meal. Overall, a solid 4.0 experience for a tasty, fresh, delicious meal! Combo meal cost is $14. Suggest to come earlier in the day as the order line tends to get longer as the work day ends. What a fun change of pace from eating out at a restaurant! Check out OnTheHookFishAndChips.com site for locations and available dates in different states. ENJOY! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We love the food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We can't understand what they don't have a restaurant yet because they were so great.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We've always love the fish and fries - and we came any time you are nearby but it seems like the portions are getting much smaller & skinnier, there's more batter to fish ratio, and the batter wasn't crispy this time![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We hope this isn't a sign of cutting back, because what we got today wouldn't have us coming back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plus, please, if you open at 11, why would you not have any water or slaw at 11 am? Last time it was no chowder at 11. That smacks of poor planning. Please up your game and we'll be diehard fans again! read more

On The Hook - Fish sticks more like it! - Food Trucks Near Me

If this was a review only about the fish, it would be a 5. The fish is incredibly good, but the wait times can be extremely long. Shortest wait I have had was 25 minutes. Longest was 45 minutes. In one case it was almost 20 minutes until I was able to order because the two workers can only do so much. Bottom line is that the customer experience would be miles better off if they had an app to order with and it showed your spot in the wait line. Mind boggling that they don't have an app to order and pre-pay with. I'll be back once they do. read more

They came to Roger's today. Dont believe the hype. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The fish was medio cre and some of the fries weren't even cooked all the way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Cole slaw was just chopped cabbage with a tiny bit of sauce.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Long John Silvers beats this any day of the week and is cheaper as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]$36 for 2 and not worth half of that![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very disappointed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Every time we get a notification that they are in our area, we skip lunch so we can eat a giant fish dinner, lol. Fresh, generous portions of fish, tarter sauce is delicious and the home fries always have a little bit of crunch spots from the fish batter. Yummmy!Yummy!! They make it fresh when you put in your order so be prepared to wait for your order. It's still hot when you get home. Nice! We love the food truck concept because restaurant prices + tipping is getting super expensive for us. We ordered 2 fish dinners (3 pieces of fish each + fries) plus 2 extra pieces of fish = $31.00 including tax. This is reasonable. read more

Oh definitely a 5star from me for this food truck. If your craving fish n chips this is where you wanna be at. They have a fleet of these trucks from coast to coast so if you see it be prepared to stand in line for great fish. The food from here is really good. I like how it's cooked fresh to order and the beer batter is perfect. The fries are as good as they get as well. They only accept credit cards so heads up!!! read more

Just had it in O'Fallon, IL: Not worth the price. No coleslaw or napkins. Unseasoned fish. Small pieces. Sides cost extra. Hot and crispy though. Better eat it right away. It gets rubbery if left too long. Go to Captain D's, Long John's Silver's, the Catholic fish fry, or Red Lobster. read more

Always look forward to truck coming to our area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mostly positive experiences, but lately disappointed as short-staffed, long lines, and overcooked cod.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Prices are too high to gamble each time to see if fish is going to be of the quality promised.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also, frustrating to ask customers for minimum of 15% tip upfront. If the quality cannot be fixed, ask for a tip afterwards or reimburse for not living up to promise. Appreciate a response from company as don't see Customer Review on your site. read more

The fish is excellent, if a bit pricy for a food truck in a parking lot. But they seriously need to revisit their order filling process. They have over a dozen people waiting in an asphalt parking lot in the sun waiting for food. The stated time is "about 30 minutes" from the time you order to when your order is finally ready. I find it REALLY hard to believe that that's the fastest they can fry fish. It's like they don't even start frying your food until you've placed the order, even though there are ALWAYS dozens of people that show up whenever they're here in Rogers (Arkansas). read more
