I have been here a bunch of times before and always leave happy, but tonight was by far the best. I came with my mom and brother, and our server was Gerard. He was AMAZING. He was ao friendly, polite, quick, and made our experience exceptional. The food is always delicious, and comes out so fast. They had live music going tonight, and they were fantastic. So so talented. Love this place!!! :)
Man- where to even begin. I forgot the waitress's name and i feel so bad for forgetting but she took absolutely amazing care of us.. took my fiancé here for her birthday and got us a nice sized seafood boil, catfish basket, chips, etc.. and the server was even nice enough to add in the free small boil and dessert for her birthday as well! And the food was outstanding! Definitely very expensive but also it is seafood after all.. 10/10!

First time at Hook & Reel and the seafood boil was amazing! Definitely recommend the seasoned garlic butter spicy flavor and the crab meat roll. Our waiter, Damein, was nice, attentive, and gave us great recommendations while walking us through the menu. Will definitely be back!
