Reviews for Hook Fish & Chicken in Gainesville, FL
Stopped at a neighborhood spot today on the way back to Tampa Bay. We got a variety of items here & I'll be honest. Chicken,... shrimp and catfish are good, scallops are iffy. They do a dry fried chicken, everything is fried and no option for wet or tossedchicken wings in sauce or something. The shrimp was good, old bay might work with you brought some with you. My scallops wereover salted and my catfish wasn't seasoned enough. Scallops were actually rubbery as heck, out of all the items I got this was amistake. Just because it's all fired don't mean it's all good. The hot sauce was good with everything but it was still just ahot sauce. Don't forget to ask for all your sauces and tartar sauce or don't expect it in your bag. Also if you wanted to know,the fries are actually under being basic and I feel like they are just sort of there as filler, so do your own fries. I'm notsure if there's no tables because they don't want us inside or they don't want us eating there, but we took a quick pic. Stickto the wings & shrimp here and I think you'll be good. Catfish and other fish will do if you don't got another option and/or ifyou adjust the seasoning yourself and sauce accordingly. Read more
Food was good...but just a little heavy on salt. And no ketchup. Or drinks. But it was after 10pm so maybe they were in... late-night mode. Shrimp, crabcakes were great. Okra great. Scallops, ehhh Read more
The food was cooked to order. Very busy place, The chicken was supposed to be the highlight of the show.... But it was nothing... special. Wasn't good enough to make me return. Prices are very reasonable if you're on a budget. Read more
I have ordered from here 4 times in the past 3 months, food isn't too bad , but EVERY time I ordered, I get 30 shrimp and fries,... I ALWAYS add extra tartar sauce and cocktail sauce with some ketchup for fries, I also asked for plastic ware and napkins,BECAUSE I'M EATING ON THE RUN, and need utensils to eat with and napkins to wipe my mouth with , but instead, for the 4th timein 3 months, I get NO tartar, cocktail sauce, NO ketchup and NO utensils or napkins.. I called the restaurant and let themknow and the man tells me to drive up to the restaurant and he would give the missing items. If I had transportation I would NOThave paid 18.00 for GrubHub to deliver it..... I DEFINITELY will NOT be ordering anything from here again. Now I have to eatcold shrimp and fries, with no utensils, napkins, tartar sauce or cocktail sauce, ketchup, salt, or napkins. I would have beenbetter off going to Circle K and getting a hotdog, at least I could have gotten a napkin, ketchup..... Read more
The food quality wasn't anything special, certainly not worth the racism you'll encounter at the drive through window. The... worker felt it was necessary to laugh at husband because he looks "Just like Jackie Chan" (HIS WORDS) and asked to "See his KungFu moves" yesterday. I wish we never spent any money there.

I enjoyed every bit of this platter 3 days and still didn't finish. My only complaint they didn't season the fish, and only... received one hot sauce. There may be a wait,they cook to order so your food is fresh! I don't like having to pay 3.5% for usinga debit card,so I'll have cash when I return. Definitely going back! That is my reason for the two four stars! Read more
My favorite place to eat seafood ???? ???? They give a huge plate of food!!
My wife wanted to eat from here. I don't like them cause their store is nasty and dirty in the back. My order was 14.39. I used... my card and was charged 17.27. So I called to let them know they over charged my card the guy on the phone said I can come andget my money no big deal but when I got their he calls some other guy. He was telling me that they can't over charge my card butI showed him proof and he proceeded to tell me don't come back after they took my money. Bad business and they are taking peoplemoney by over charging them. So if you decide to eat her I suggest you use cash no your card. This the second time this havehappen. I won't go back. Read more
