Reviews for Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar in Dayton, OH

Where to start! This place is an ABSOLUTELY A MUST GO!!!!! the service is amazing and the atmosphere is so cool! it makes you... feel like you're down south on the bayou. The food is fresh and the cajun butter is killer. They have an option where you don'thave to get the full broil, which is nice if you're just eating by yourself. They also give you a table cloth that you can coloron and play puzzle games with a friend or with the kids while you wait. It's a great place for any occasion. Read more

This was our first time visiting and it was early afternoon on a Friday so there weren't many people there yet. It was happy... hour so drinks were discounted along with some other items. For us the service was food was good. When the main course wasserved it was in a big plastic bag (seafood boil). You get to choose your own spice level. I wanted an additional piece ofcorn and potato with my order which was no problem. We did carry some food home and they knotted that bag and put it in anotherbag - no mess and spilling in the car. If you're thinking about trying it - I wanted to invite some friends over for a seafoodboil - but the weather turned cool pretty quick so this worked. I suggest you give it try. Read more

Lunch prices are really affordable. Service was pleasant and quick. All of the staff we encountered were nice. The food, though,... could have been better. They didn't open until 12, but the soups weren't ready. The fried shrimp in the basket was overcookedand so were the hush puppies. But, comes with lots of fries that weren't overcooked. The crab po' boy was good. Messy, but notchintzy. Cocktails we've had there have been good. Read more

Service was great. All the food was really good. Came out quick. Not really a kid friendly menu. They did have chicken tenders,... but that was really it. Would definitely go again. Read more

Excellent seafood, the flavor of their original sauce is out of this world delicious. There was a slight snafu when we arrived,... we waited quite some time for someone to wait on us, but it was an honest mistake and they more than made up for it with theirapology. Definitely worth a trip, it was delicious Read more
