Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar

My son and I ate here for the first time tonight. Sandra was amazing, explained the menu, had great recommendations. She was a 10/10. Our food was awesome!!- it’s such a fun way to eat seafood boils. We live in MN or we’d be back weekly. ♥️

We had an enjoyable time here on a Friday night. Good environment, not too loud (everyone busy eating yummy seafood). Our server was very nice and attentive. And the staff happily sang happy birthday ( : I’d recommend Hook & Reel. Nice place!

First time having a seafood boil, was recommended this place by a friend and sooo glad i went! Our waitress, Erica, was literally the best, so sweet and fun and made the experience extra special!!! I forget what the seafood boil we got was called on the menu (maybe lobster party?) but it came with 2 lobster tails, 2 crab legs clusters, a ton of shrimp, potatoes, and corn. We chose the seasoned garlic butter to go with it. Also got the Cajun fries and some oysters... all of it was sooo good! Prices were super fair too :) ....and again, another shout out to Erica, such a great waitress😇

Lilly was AMAZING. She checked up on us frequently and made sure we had everything. Give her a raise! :)

Food was good portion, good presentation and was fresh. Overall was great. Our server Sandra was god at what she does. She is fast and very efficient and also friendly. I Highly recommend this place for seafood boil lovers.

The shrimp with head on was good and fresh and clam and mussels were also good . The crawfish I think were frozen and not very good. The overall seasoning were not soaked in the food so when we first started eating everything was bland. The lemon pepper was not very lemony.

Wow!!! We had the best experience!! Our server Sandra was super friendly and explained everything for our first time. We will be back!!

Lilly, she is AMAZING!!! It was my first at restaurant and for jure will have another times !!!! Thank you for your service !! All the best for you !! Clean and good atmosphere !!!

Love the food. Well packaged for delivery. Defiantly order again-oooooooooooooooooooooo

We travel to New England yearly for hiking, parks and food! Once we land ed at the Boston airport, I instantly started looking for seafood. First stop was Hook and Reel, decided to try them out due to reviews on Google. Customer service was great and professional. All appetizers and our main meal came out in a reasonable amt of time. Everything was seasoned well and very tasty. Pricing was priced correctly for the area and portion size we received. My drink from the bar was good also. We arrived approx 4pm, no wait time. @glampedlife

Here today! One of my coworkers suggested Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood, all I saw on their website was high cholesterol and high blood pressure options. She waved on and of their seafood boils but every taste bud in my body said "Anybody can put boxed Cajun Seasoning on sea food". The restaurant didn't open until noon, however they open at 11:30 am for takeout. Would I return NO, here's why. 1. Service sucked. 2. We had 2 tables and our waitress only put commentary shrimp chips on one of the tables and didn't refill it. It was pretty good I might add. 3. I wanted a combination basket of catfish and shrimp, they don't offer that combination on the menu. They were also out of catfish. 4. After we received our lunch, our waitress never came to check out my us. 5. I would have liked to see grilled options on the menu. 6. The worst part of the experience was, my Poboy only came with 5 shrimp!!!!!!! At any rate, the food was ok nothing to brag about. My coworker stated buses was not allowed on the premises, I cannot confirm or deny that statement even tho we did. Here today! There tomorrow!

This was one of the many seafood spot I've heard about a couple times so I decided to give it a try one Friday night with my coworkers. This was my seafood boil and I think it was yummy. I feel like everything was seasoned pretty good but I felt like something about it was missing I can't say it was overtop delicious. I think my overall rating is a 7/10.

The food here is delicious! I usually get seafood boils from here but I decided to try the Shrimp Po Boy and I was not disappointed. Lots of flavor in their food and the staff is always friendly. I would recommend!

We found this place on the way back to our hotel & it was wonderful. The service was great, the place had a relaxed, friendly vibe, and the food was delicious. After taking our orders, our waitress Christine brought us shrimp chips. They were good, and had a little kick to them. I wasn't too hungry, so the clam chowder & Caesar salad were just enough for me. Husband was stuffed after enjoying the bountiful shrimp and fries basket. We had no room for dessert. This was a great find!

Staff and Service: - Came here for lunch on a Monday and was able to sit right away - Our server (wish I could remember her name) was great. She was attentive, kind, efficient, and made sure we had a good experience (she has a Boston accent in case that's helpful) Food: - Crab Sandwich: this was kind of disappointing as the majority of this dish was the bread. There was very little crab meat. The sweet potato fries were good - Shrimp Po Boy: average sandwich (nothing that particularly stood out) - Crawfish: good flavor and not too difficult to crack Miscellaneous: - Plenty of parking via a shared parking lot with other businesses - The review was high from our great waitress and brought down by the crab sandwich

I went for lunch. The food and service were great. The seafood broil was excellent. Messy, but that's part of the experience.

Revere location doesn't offer the all you can eat. Wish I knew where this special is located, I definitely would partake I visited the Revere Mass site. So this would be my 3rd visit. Beginner with boils. Prior visit food great, 3rd visit could not get the meat off of snow crab legs. Later Google why and it stated that legs were over cooked or cold. My 3rd visit was for my birthday, this was a let down

So much fun eating like a sloppy baby. Don't hold back eating the food with your fingers. No utensils needed. Delicious food. Wish I didn't have to do all of the work de shelling the seafood, but it was delicious.

Stopped by here for late dinner on our way to Maine and it was worth it, came in an hour before closing. Service was prompt and friendly. Ordered the reel catch with 2 snow crab legs, mussels, head on shrimp for $53 and added crawfish, eggs and broccoli with their spicy special blend sauce, it was so good and soooo spicy! I thought I built a tolerance for spicy food but this one put it to test. lol.. we enjoyed it and couldn't stop eating. Loved the dozen steamed oyster with their special blend sauce as well. About $99 for 2 and had leftovers left. What a great dinner! Wanted a drink but the bar was closed at 9:15, hence the 4 stars.

Can't speak for the seafood boils but their fried food options are quite disappointing and low quality. I've been here a couple times and the first time, I tried their Crab Po'Boy. It came with the smallest amount of filling in a plain hotdog roll. The other time I tried their flounder basket. It tasted like old fish and the fries also tasted fishy. I also tried their shrimp basket. It tasted and looked very low quality. I think this is an area they could greatly approve upon.

I can say that my family loved the place. Me personally this isn't my thing, but they def said when they come back to town they wanna stop back in. Thank you for making their visit special

Such a great night. Our server, Diana, was so attentive, friendly and helpful with the menu. The food was delicious. New manager, Alyssia, was great, checking in periodically. The meal was wonderful. If I could give 10 stars I would!

Excellent Seafood! Before my flight back home I wanted to get some lobster and shrimp. The lobster here was cooked with garlic butter. Tasted delicious. I also got some fried shrimp which were plump and juicy. Totally enjoyed the food and I recommend.

Excellent service. Amazing food. Definitely a working man's kind of place. Not a high-end, snooty seafood place, but if you are looking for great food and an excellent value, this is your spot

Four of us went to dinner tonight. The food came out fast and hot! All of the sauces were delicious. Sometimes going out as a family is super expensive. Even with two beers, the total was $122 which is very reasonable. The server was a nice young lady who took good care of us. She came a few times to check on us. Overall, it was a great dinner.

I am completely HOOKED. No pun intended and I'll explain why: The Cajun seafood spot offers nothing but great flavor! They first greet you with shrimp chips - I geeked out because they were a major part of my childhood. The extensive menu will satisfy your seafood cravings (and more)! Want a bit of everything? The "Reel Catch" coming around $50 gives you an option to DIY your seafood boil in a bag. The ones pictured (from my multiple visits) had crab legs, lobster tails, corn, potatoes, head-on shrimps, and black mussels. I went with the "Hook & Reel Special Blend" sauce with a "spicy" level. You can also order things as individual boils by 1/2 or 1 lb. I did multiple orders with the head-on shrimps. Although the head-off shrimp were easier to eat at an upcharge, the texture was funky. The black mussels threw me off as well. However, my favorite item on the whole menu had to be the head-on shrimp - hitting with flavor and they're large! For appetizers, I got the plain Jane buffalo wings and sweet potato fries. The fries were crunchy! The steamed oysters also had the "fresh" and ocean taste to them. I felt the sauce balanced it out as I can't stand oysters on their own. If you never had Cajun seafood before, now is your time! If you're dining in, they provide you with gloves, bibs, and hand wipes. Don't expect to look cute when you feast! The staff was friendly and quick. The wait could be long on the weekend, but it's worth the wait. Takeout is also a good option - my experience with it was positive! It was quieter when I did dine-in for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. To clear any confusion, I combined the review of my multiple visits into one post. I went three days in a row - for both dine-in and take-out. Hook & Reel met my expectations on what makes a good seafood boil. I could say they REELED me in for good.

Had a wonderful experience at Hook and reel. The food was very good, but Rouia's service was especially attentive and friendly. Would love to come back again!

The food here is fantastic! Definitely trying more of these . Friendly staff . Clean and good ambience.

Great service, incredible ambiance, and exceptional food. And yes, my server's name was "YoYo." She was a lot of fun, made the experience so memorable. I will definitely be back!

I love this place, I could literally bathe in the Garlic Butter sauce. Grabbed take out on NYE and just got the Crab/Shrimp bags then went home & made Lobster and threw it in the bag myself - everytime I get the lobster from them its too overcooked that I cannot even get it out the shell so I have started just getting the bag takeout and adding the Lobster myself, one bag literally feeds me for 3 meals... The seafood is always super fresh, portions are great, The staff is great. Cant wait to go back, just writing this is making think about that dreamy sauce, OMG I could drink it!!!

Meet as I entered by friendly workers. I sat at the bar and had Barbi as my server. I ordered the raw oysters and the cajun boil. Both were very good. All the of food was delicious. BUT When I got my check the price on the oysters were not right. Menu showed 19 per dozen the bill reflected 24. I asked to have the check adjusted but told sorry that's the price. I stated that the menu showed 19 and she said there was nothing she could do about that. Not acceptable. Do I need to verify all the prices on the menu before I order. No one should have to.

It's been a few years and let's just say a lot has changed! Boil was delish. Garlic noodles were blah but flavorful. Sweet potatoes fries, huge portion and good. Raw oysters were dry and had shells,wish they had some kind of citrus to go with then instead of just Tabasco and horseradish. SERVICE WAS AMAZING. No seriously, one guy running the entire show. Got every order right and was fast! Wish I remembered his name. Would definitely go back for a boil but everything else was just ok.

Hook and reel was a pretty decent place. Good for a low key date night, the atmosphere is more chill here not many people dressed up when we came. The apps were ok for the entrees we got a big bucket of everything and it wasn't bad just maybe was looking for a little more flavor but everything was steamed pretty good. The restaurant is in a little shopping plaza and at first sight I was skeptical but overall for our night out it was good. Drinks were ok nothing too special but nothing bad, it was clean and the service was great so that was the best thing we got here. Overall I would give it another try

ATTENTION TO EVERY POTENTIAL CUSTOMER!!! It is very misleading when you pay your check as seen in the photo that I am attaching. The gratuity is automatically added at a rate of 18 percent regardless how well the service is there but what you all need to pay attention to is the bottom section labeled as "ADD TIPS". This is considered extra tips on top of the automatically added 18 percent. So for us we were going to do 20 percent because the service was better than most places but the numbers weren't adding up to what they had listed on the line for 20 percent. After looking more into it if we were to do the 20 percent that's actually giving them 38 percent of the bill as a tip because no matter what the 18 percent gratuity is already included without your consent. This is basically double tipping them. They should have an option for the section of tips of what total percentage to add or at least label that bottom section to include the words "extra tips" or something so it's not misleading to the customer... I wonder how many customers fell for this scheme and didn't check the math. Just to add, we were only a table of 4 people that sat down to eat without any extra to go orders.

Had such a fun experience here! Got to customize our own seafood boil, and cmon the bibs and the dirty hands.. it's just a fun time! We got the 3rd combo w the crab cluster and lobster tail. we got it with the hook reel blend and medium spice! SOOOOO delicious. we got a small bag of mussels and scallops w cajun and fire spice, but it was just butter and not spicy... i guess the only good one is hook reel blend, now we know. the shrimp stole the show! so fresh!!! however, the next morning i blew up my toilet 5 different times. might have been the butter who knows, i definitely was suffering the next morning, my bf never experienced anything form it though. but although i suffered, it was a great experience.. a little hesistant to go back though:| but if you have a stomach of steel, by all means

Yum food was so good nick was awesome and like seafood boil I loveee yay yummmmmmmmmmmm

Walk in and was greeted admittedly. Waitress was super friendly. Bartender made a good Long Island. We order two boil. And the wait wasn't long. Food was delicious. I do recommend and will come back again.

Yesterday, October 17th 2024, my wife brought me here for the first time, and she's embarrassed by how bad the experience was. The restaurant was empty, so there shouldn't have been any confusion with orders, but there was. Our waitress, who seemed suspiciously not sober, kept getting our order wrong- it was expressed they have a new system so we gave more than enough grace- like said it was empty too; workers/servers should have adequate down time to learn the system. I KNOW AND WORK IN FOOD AND HOSPITALITY. We repeated our order multiple times to the waitress, the manager, and even the cook. Despite being patient, the mistakes continued. We were close to leaving but decided to stay due to the traffic back home (5pm going to Boston) and hunger- this is because we wrongly assumed that we would've been comped without having to ask being that they had apologized for the terrible delayed service throughout our ENTIRE VISIT and we were so accommodating. When we tried to talk to the "manager", Hispanic male, he offered us free white rice ($3) , which felt inadequate for the inconvenience. When we tried to address this, staff members surrounded the manager, chuckling and responding dismissively. I had to ask, "Who's the manager?" since it was unclear who was in charge and everyone was chiming in. So disrespectful and unprofessional. MY WIFES FOOD WAS UNTOUCHED. Valuable time and money down the fucking toilet. Overall, terrible experience. 0/5. Wouldn't recommend. I DOOOOO RECOMMEND BOILING CATCH BROCKTON, CAPTN LOU'S, SHAKING SEAFOOD

It was my first time eating seafood, I got the king crab legs and I did not expect how amazing the food was gonna be, service was nice & fast, the price was definitely worth it

The food was amazing and the person that helped us order was amazing,thank you so much for the help Rouya!

Very dissatisfied with Hook and Reel. I ordered a $125 seafood boil bag. It was 1lb head on and head off shrimp, a lobster, and snow crab legs. Upon our opening and getting ready to eat the bag, I noticed there were no crab legs. I double and tripled checked. I got two separate clastic bags each containing a paper bag. (MJ the manager also confirmed this is what my order consisted of). They both were stapled (like always) and in one bag was two extra sauces, and in the other bag was one seafood boil bag but without my crab legs. Again. Both paper bags were stapled, and my boil bag was double bagged. And each tied like always. So I called the restaurant to say that I didn't receive part of my order and MJ the manager IMMEDIATELY was combative. I started to record the call on my iPhone and it announces to both lines "this call is being recorded" and he hung up on me. I then called back and asked for a different manager, and he said he was the only person I could speak to. (I recorded that whole call on my Mac) He claims he didn't make a mistake, he watched it get packed, once it leaves the premises and gets picked up by uber eats it is no longer their responsibility even if they did make a mistake. He said I have to pick it up with Uber. I said I am not getting this uber driver in trouble for something he did not do. YOU messed up my order. The old man that delivered my food EARLY did not get an appetite and take my snow crab leg out of the bag, tie it up and restaple it. MJ also claimed that I "don't understand how the food industry works", I worked in the food industry for 8 years and even when I did think I was right I never treated someone like that. But in this case, Hook and Reel did not fulfill my order, which I wasn't even mad about, then they claimed there is nothing they can do. Tough luck. Thanks for the free money. I'd steer away from Hook & Reel and MJ for sure. Plenty of other places to go!

First time trying a seafood boil. This has become my favorite dish now and will definitely come more often! I made my own along with my wife, we had a lobster tail, snow crab legs, sausage, extra potatoes and corn. Really good seasoning and really good portion size.

Hook & Reel had was probably one of the best seafood I've had in Boston. I've been to other similar places that serve seafood like this, but my experience at Hook & Reel has been far better than those other establishments.. so take a peek at what we got! Apps: - Paella: this wasn't your typical paella, it was more like just Chinese fried rice - it was still great don't get be wrong, but definitely not paella. However, our server did tell us that it wasn't like the typical paella, which I appreciated - Fried Calamari: a big portion for an appetizer and more importantly - fresh!! - Garlic noodles: a MUST! Food: - Snow crab legs: amazing, so much meat and very easy to crack/eat because most of the job was already done for us - Lobster tail: there were 2 of us, so we ordered 2 tails, this was probably my favorite seafood we tried! - Shrimp head off: fresh; the shrimps were fresh, and not overcooked - Mussels/crabs: were both very good as well, I could tell these were not just frozen seafood that they reheated - Sauces: you can choose any sauce, but we tried the hook reel blend and the lemon pepper. Both were AMAZING. I believe the hook reel blend is a mix of all the sauces, so you really can't go wrong with that one! Drinks: - Mango Mai Tai: pretty strong, and great flavors especially the mango! - Our server also suggested to us some special cocktails for that day based on our drink preferences, which were also amazing Service: - Shout out to Lilly! She was amazing - super accommodating and gave us very good recommendations! She deserve a raise!!

Amazing customer service every time! Tasty drinks and seafood! And the scenery is super comfortable and inviting !

I had such an awesome experience with delicious food and great service at this Hook and Reel Revere!! I came in on a week night around 7pm for dinner. The restaurant was slightly crowded and had good energy from both the other diners and most importantly the service. I was greeted with a friendly smile and shown to a table right away. Within minutes a server came over with menus and asked for our drink order. I love not having to wait right when you get somewhere! It sets the tone for the meal, I think. Ask for Carmina.. what a sweet girl and she knew her stuff. She explained how it all works here. It's a different experience so if you want to roll up your sleeves, put gloves and a big on, and get dirty and toss your shells into a bucket... come here! It's fun! You can also order items that don't require this, which I will tell you more about below. Also important to me is the lighting and cleanliness... nice mood lighting at the tables with high open ceilings and a 'garage/outdoor' feel yet cozy enough for your diners. Good place to come with a group or with kids! The floors and booths were nice and clean, too. Now most importantly... the food! OMG! You must try the "Pick Your Catch" or "Family Catch" depending on how much seafood you want. This is what is served in a pot in a bag where you roll up your sleeves and dig in (bib on, of course). You choose your seafood, seasoning, and spice level (3 levels). I ordered the King Crab, Black Mussels and Shrimp (head off) with Cajun seasoning and Spicy (level 2). OMG.. the King Crab was to die for. So amazing! Don't hold back and order 'safe'... gotta try this! It wasn't too spicy, either. I like it really spicy (siracha on everything) so the cajun seasoning gave it a zing (oh, and lots of chunks of garlic in a really good way) and not too much sauce. Just enough to dip the freshly cracked crab in it. Wow... I'll be back for this, for sure! It's a little messy so take some pics before you get dirty but it is really fun and yes, so delicious. Now more about the other food... I ordered the Oysters, 6 steamed and 6 raw. The steamed melted in my mouth.. so amazing! I chose the Hook and Reel sauce. This is great sauce, also with just the right amount to cover the oysters so each one got a perfect amount of sauce and some garlic in my mouth. The oysters were perfectly steamed... melted in my mouth. I wanted to try out some plated food so I ordered the crab cakes with sweet potato fries. The crab cakes had lovely flakey and moist chunks in them. Wow! On the smaller side, so a good portion size (you get two!) I definitely recommend Hook and Reel.. the food is amazing and it's fun! Great service, great quality, great times!

The Hispanic waitress was rude and had an attitude. I also found hair in my food and I regret not saying anything to staff. I will never come here again!

We only went once last supper. My husband & I didn't care for it . Service was okay.

Came for a late supper. The staff was great. Menu is extensive Cajun and low country seafood. Highly recommend for a fun dinner with a southern style twist.

The carb was so good and I had a muscle and shirmp. The carb was so good the seasoning was great and the was unbelievable it so much. The was so good . The mulch was so chewy and good. And the potato was so buttery. The corn the corn was the best corn I have ever had in MY LIFETIME was the seasoning was great I give it...5 stars

Came here after work on Friday around 6pm, not too busy... for starter, garlic noodle and lemon pepper wings which was huge, crispy, and juicy. Garlic noodle had more cheese than garlic flavor. Since my friend cannot eat spicy, clam and New Zealand mussels with original cajun flavor which was really fresh but the clams kind of small. Crawfish and shrimp head on with their hook flavor but the shrimp not really fresh and crawfish really huge. I ordered to go as well... family combo which I picked the snow crab legs, shrimp, and crawfish. I should get the mussel instead shrimp which is not fresh. Not much sauce compare to the dine in boil. Also fresh blue crab with old bay flavor. Not bad just takes time to eat.

Snow Crab Legs inSeafood Combo Arlind was our server The food was amazing We are from the coast so for us to find seafood we find amazing is AMAZING

We ordered chicken and shrimp po boy, chicken tender plate, boil bag with crab, crawfish, and lobster tail , garlic bread, and 2 molten lava cakes. The food was great. Everything came out hot and fresh. Our waitress Christine was amazing and extremely friendly. We came around 530pm and it was a normal group. Not extremely loud so we were able to talk

Fun atmosphere, good food, nice service. Great location. Definitely going back. While not a 'charming' location, easy to get to and Easy parking in huge shopping center

LOVE. This was my first time here and also trying food that's made inside a bag .. I was a little skeptical but really glad I tried it. Our server was so friendly we loved her. I wish I remembered her name. So we got the sweet potatoes fries (AMAZING) ask for a side of ranch. We each got the snow crabs 1lb each so you get two "hands" so like 8 claws. You'll see my picture for a better idea!! We both got the hook n reel sauce I did mild he did spicy. Both were very good! Came with potatoes and corn. I also got the white wine sangria! Soo good. 10/10 recommend. I also suggest making an appointment especially on the weekends.

Hook & Reel Seafood and Bar is part of a chain with locations in Maryland, New York, and soon to be Rhode Island. The restaurant focuses on Cajun seafood (NOT Cajun/Asian). You have several flavors crawfish boils with varying spice level, seafood Po boys, gumbo, and Cajun fries. Its Revere location is located inside of Wonderland Marketplace, a strip mall with Marshall's, USPS, and other. There is ample parking. I want to give Hook & Reel a 3.5 stars review. Overall, decent but no where close to the competition in the area. There are several reasons this isn't a 4 stars for me. First and foremost, they do not have an option for fresh crawfish. When your competition (Luoi Luoi, Holy Crab, Shaking Crab) all have fresh crawfish and you're opening a seafood restaurant in New England, you need to source some fresh crawfish. Second, when I asked how spicy their spiciest level was, our waiter said that it is not even spicy. So for a lot of those crawfish lovers out there who like a kick in their crawfish, be sure to ask for two level spicier than their spiciest. My experience was overall pleasant. We went here on a Thursday night for a late Father's day dinner. There was plenty of parking and we were seated immediately. I was impressed by the size of the restaurant. It can definitely accommodate large groups of 30 and maybe even 40 patrons. There is a huge bar selection as well. The restaurant was also decorated appropriately. It was aesthetically pleasing. Our waiter who served us was really polite and he gave us plenty of time to look the menu over and answered questions we had. We ordered the catfish Po boy which came with a choice of fries, either plain or sweet potato fries. This is probably the best item that night. The catfish was absolutely delicious. It was lightly battered, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It needed more spicy mayo sauce but that's just my opinion. We also did the pick three 1 lbs seafood combo, and picked all 3 lbs of crawfish in the house blend. The house blend is a combination of all of the flavors. Then we did the pick two seafood with the snow crab. We ordered shrimp heads on (sweeter that way) and clams with the snow crab in the lemon pepper sauce. My favorite had to be the house blend. When our food arrived in plastic bags, we were given plastic gloves, bibs, and plenty of napkins. I have to say, all of the seafood tasted fine, but live fresh crawfish would have made it all the better. There is nothing more disappointing when eating a crawfish boil than finding frozen crawfish. The leftover seafood and sauce were not wasted. We took it home, shelled all the seafood, and then had it over rice. It was amazing but an absolute sodium boost. So good but so bad for you. I will definitely be coming back but this is not my top go-to place for crawfish. I think it has a lot to do with my preference for a spicier flavor profile and the fresh crawfish option that Hook & Reel lacks. It also doesn't have the Asian fusion menu that I like at the competition. Still, I would say it is perfect for lazy nights when I don't want to drive into town. Give it a try. See my pictures.

Gaby was our server and she was the nicest and helped us in every way. Gaby fue nuestra mesera y fue muy amable y nos atendió muy bien.

My family roots are from Louisiana..I have been living in Boston for 35 years. I thought I knew all of the best seafood places in Boston..Boy was I wrong! A friend recommended Hook and Reel Seafood Bar to me the other day..Went there today for dinner.All I can say is WOW! Seafood choices were excellent, quality of food was excellent our server Lily was great and full of information. I had a Cajun boil. The shrimp, Crab, mussels and crayfish were some of the best I ever had including Antoine's and others in NOLA. The price was amazing for both the food and drinks. Parking was plentiful and the ambiance exceptional. If you haven't tried this place you must..You will be very happy! Cajun boil was $21 and included a dozen large shrimp, a dozen large crayfish and 15-20 mussel, corn and potatoes. Grey Goose Martini $13 ($18 everywhere I go). Great place that I will frequent..
