Hook Line & Schooner

Decided to check out this place after a coworker's recommendation. Made a reservation and was seated quickly upon arrival. We tried the calamari, seafood wontons, hushpuppies for appetizers and lobster ravioli, and grouper with rice for the main meal. The fried food could have used a little more seasoning, but the lobster ravioli was great. And I could have eaten hushpuppies all night with that honey butter. We would definitely try this place again.

My family and I have been coming to Schooner's for years and I tell ya we have NEVER HAD ONE BAD EXPERIENCE!!! From the wait staff to the cooks in the back are always are point. The food always comes out hot and fresh and the wait staff are always very attentive!!! We love this place!!!

Absolutely excellent service and food! I highly recommend for lunch, it was easy to park and service was prompt. It’s always a good sign when all the patrons are smiling while enjoying their meals.

Recently visited friends who live in Smyrna and we came here nearly everyday to eat because the food is fantastic and so was the service! Jill the bartender went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience every time. I tried a variety of dishes which were all amazing but the seafood boil was definitely my favorite! I’ll be back for sure!

Have been wanting to try HL&S for quite some time. Finally had the chance to do so. Normally I'm concerned when the wait staff looks exceptionally young. But Brett was phenomenal!! Bright spot of the evening!!Cocktails were great and the half-priced wine bottle night was an added bonus. The food was just OK. Not sure I'd say it's "the best seafood in Atlanta" but I'd still like to return and try the lobster roll.

One of my favorite seafood restaurants near the city. Food is excellent! Every time I come here, they immediately sit us down. The customer service is great. Not much of a long wait for food either depending on what you order, everything comes out hot and fresh. I recommend the Crab Stuffed Shrimp, Shrimp Scampi, HLS Oysters, and the Salmon.

My husband, daughter and I came to this wonderful place for a family dinner and now I can say that I fell in love with this restaurant we were served by the waitress Nicole, she was extremely kind and friendly, a very professional and pleasant girl! The food was very tasty, my cocktail surprised me with an incredible fresh taste! I can confidently say that this place is now one of our favorites, we recommend everyone to visit!!!!!

This place is the epitome of mid. I hate to leave such a poor review, but there was nothing good about our meal. Food quality, food preparation, flavor, atmosphere, service, all mid. Fish served with the glaze on the side. Appetizer takes 15 minutes to come out. Mash potatoes drier than the Sahara. No seasoning. I digress and will say the prices here are reasonable, but for 5%-10% more I'll have to take my wide load to another restaurant.

Great seafood, generous portions....friendly staff, very efficient service...easy access to The Battery!

Love love love this place and I cannot wait to go back ! The staff is so lovely and the food is delicious I order oysters, she crab soup, seafood dip and a salmon BLT

Nice spot in the Vinings known for their charred oysters and other good seafood items. Drinks are good and the atmosphere is pleasant

I love this restaurant. The team here is so nice. Ask for my girl Jill the bartender who knows everyone by name. Great place for a good seafood meal.

Was not for me. The quality of the food was a huge miss for me. I didn't particularly enjoy any part of my meal even the drink.. we were gifted a chocolate cheesecake to share which was kind of the staff. We didn't make a fuss about our food or complain. The cheesecake thing was just something nice our waiter offered. My friend did order the mussels which she said she enjoyed although she said the sauce was very cream based. Heavy on the cream, thickness wise. More for a pasta sauce than musses BUT she did say it was flavorful. The staff a very nice and I believe it's a family owned establishment.

Service was good after the initial 15 minute wait for to take our drink order. Food was very subpar. I would not recommend the Rangoons or the Seafood cannelloni. The Raw oysters were awful. The only good item was the house wine and the crab legs. Ambiance was nice for a Thursday night. Lots of young wait staff. I wish I had saved my $70 and got something else.

Lovely Afternoon to stroll into Hook Line and Schooner. I always sit at the bar. Julie is so nice and personable serving up a great cocktail and superb Service. The drink is one for the books.. Julie hooked it up . Asking me what I felt like drinking.. I told her Strawberry.. and she crafted They call it Puppy Love. A rum based drink with Strawberry puree and topped with Soarkling wine. So good. To eat I got Salmon Blt sandwich with a loaded baked potato. Very good. As always!!! Love coming here.. Never a bad experience!!!

I was looking for oysters after work one evening and came across Hook Line & Schooner. They were open later than other restaurants, so I decided to stop by. The hostess was really nice and seated us right away and got us set up with menus and a quick overview. Our server came not to long after, he was also pleasant. We ordered the Blackberry smash for drinks. They were a little watered down to me. For food we ordered the bang bang shrimp, crispy Parmesan Brussels, Cajun oysters, and the west coast oysters. The food was just ok.

I stopped by one night for a quick bite to eat. We ordered the bang bang shrimp, crispy brussel sprouts, chargrilled otsters (Cajun & Wedt Coast Oysters), and the Blackberry Smash. I was immediately greeted by a host and then our server Tyler. He was really nice and attentive. The staff was great. The brussels were flavorful, but a tad too crispy. I really enjoyed the bang bang shrimp. The oysters had potential as well. They were ok, but I have definitely had better. The Blackberry smash was also ok, but it was a tad watered down. The vibes were amazing and the staff were super friendly. They informed me of happy hour specials and urged me to come back on my birthday for a free slice of cake. Parking: Limited parking in front and a small parking deck near

Real good service . We came here on a Saturday and the seating and service was good , parking was easy as well. I liked the crab cake sandwich because they used more meat than bread filling like most places. The prices were pretty good as well and they have a lunch menu too. I'd return when I get a chance and try a different dish.

Excellent food and service. This is such a good restaurant that we have now been there 3 times. Tonight we had salmon stuffed with crab meat and fried oysters, scallops, hush puppies, and many more sides. Owner is always friendly checking in with all his customers. You will love it!

I really enjoyed this place. I travel for work and let trip advisor & yelp make suggestions regularly. This was definitely a great pick. The prices are good, the service was good & the food was fantastic! I got the fish and chips. The hush puppies are worth a visit by themselves. The volume in the restaurant is medium and the eclectic dessert choices were awesome! Parking is super easy and the restaurant is close to the highway. Give it a try!

We had the peel and eat shrimp and shrimp tacos. Very tasty and HUGE shrimps! The picture does not do it justice... will definitely order that again! Yum!

Sat at the bar with Desiree and she was a wonderful hostess! I'm a first timer so I allowed her to recommend my meal. I had the surf N turf medium rare and fried lobster tail, oysters, clam.

All the appetizers were great, as well as the she crab soup. Wish I saved room for desert they had a great selection.

Excellent food. The Salmon BLT and Whole Fried Flounder was excellent. The salmon was juicey and not dry. Thw flounder was the best.

So. The wait staff were excellent. Never had to ask for refills or condiments. The food was just ok. We ordered the 1/2 lb grilled crab legs with corn and potatoes, caesar salad, side mac and cheese, garlic green beans, salmon dip, crab dip, rangoon, and grilled shrimp tacos. For the life of me, I'll never understand why restaurants serve crab legs topped with seasoning. The only thing that is seasoned is the shell, not the crab meat so your hands get really messy for nothing. I think the grilled flavor of the crab was good because it tasted like it was smoked but, over all, my niece and I did not enjoy the crab. It was just too messy. I would say, offer gloves to customers just in case. The rest of the food was ok. Overall, out of everything we ate, the mac and cheese was the best. The restaurant was cute and the vibe was nice. But probably won't return.

Very good dinner for our recent visit - always enjoy the tap beer menu the have because of the variety and great prices. We split a blackened po boy and fried plate of oysters and shrimp. Everything tasted great, service was somewhat slow but on a Friday we had an easy going timeline, so this didn't matter as much to us.

I had the stuffed salmon and it wasn't what i thought. Salmon wasn't terrible but didn't hit the mark. The spinach wasn't good. The potatoes were overcooked and bland. Mussels were ok but not a lot of flavor there either.

Awesome food and Service! Thanks..we will return Schthan Later! 2 Shrimp TacosFried Fish Tacos Oysters on the Half Shell

Me and the wifey went in here looking for some good seafood and I was highly disappointed. Not what you want if you looking for some down home southern fish fry place. I had the fish and chips which I regretted. Too crusty and too bland, you can get better grub at your local red lobster or captain Ds. Nice people but food not to my liking.

We dined here for Mother's Day and they did not disappoint. The food and cocktails were great!

The food here is great! We went on a Sunday evening around 7:30 and there were hardly any people in the restaurant. We were promptly seated and the waitress was super friendly. We got the Rangoons to start that was creamy on the inside and served with some sweet/spicy sauce. I ordered the shrimp po boy with fries. I wish I could have gotten just a basket of that fried shrimp! The seasoning was excellent and the shrimp were huge! The sandwich had a little too much bread for me, but overall it was good. PS: They have HUGE slices of cake and cheesecake for dessert, so make sure to save room or get one to go.

This place has a nice menu. Choices look nice Started with hush puppies. They came recommended. They put a little sugar in them. And we're a big greasy. I would not recommend I got the lobster ravioli in vodka sauce. The raviolis were a little too firm. The lobster inside not great. And nothing special in the sauce The side salad was lettuce and dressing. Bland The help was super polite and friendly, especially the host I wanted to like the place but honestly none of the food was good enough to get me back

Mediocre food, really poor service. I dined in this past Saturday night, the restaurant was not too busy. We ended up waiting 20 minutes for a server to ask us for our drink orders. Drinks were not replenished on a frequent basis. Then it took another 20 minutes to order food. The food was okay, but very overpriced for what you get. I am good with paying more for quality food, but the quality was not there. It was clear that we were dissatisfied with the service, but nothing was done to improve. Overall, I will not return which is disappointing as I live close by.

The food here is awful. There is nothing on the menu worth recommending. Service is hit or miss and relatively slow for a place that is rarely busy. Every other restaurant in the Village is better

Best fried flounder I have eaten since I was in South Carolina. A little pricey but worth it for the size of the fish. The hush puppies melt in your mouth and the color slaw was on point! Donnica was a pleasant server and very energetic without going overboard. Will definitely return as soon as possible!!

Used to eat here a lot more. I was trying to order today for the first time in months, but they would never acknowledge my food delivery app order, so it was canceled after 15 minutes. I was looking forward to it, but oh well! They also previously messed up a few of my orders by leaving things out, missing instructions, or taking much longer than the promised time.

I miss trivia night but it's still a great location for food and drinks. The dishes are prepared well and always served with some great drinks!

The service is fantastic!! Our waitress was super nice and personable and attentive. The food was just ok. I got the special fried fish sandwich completely came apart which was a bummer and the fried scallops were just ok. Would go back and try something different

Me & the boo thang visited Hook Line & Schooner as a quick little lunch date on a Saturday! We started with the lobster & shrimp ragoon, which were freshly fried & came with a sweet chili sauce! Delicious! We then shared a fried platter with Catfish, Shrimp & Scallops which also came with hush puppies, fries & slaw. The only 2 hang ups I have about the platter is the fish lacked flavor & their was a lot of oil excess oil. However, everything was FRESH!! Staff was fantastic & they have specials for just about every day of the week! I'd definitely revisit to try other items on the menu!

Staff was warm and welcoming. Loved the 'wall.' I will update with the usual (interior / exterior, customer service, food, vaule overall). Just wanted to start my review entry - and load my photos before I delete the photos.

I live in the neighborhood and I'm a pescatarian so I was excited to have seafood options but after 2 tries, I'm forced to be done. Food was not good twice! Sorry...

A large group of us came here to celebrate Father's day for several dads in our group. It was surprisingly not to busy. It had a nice ambiance. Our waitress was very nice a friendly and she answered any and all questions. She was extremely accommodating. For an appetizers I ordered the Bang Bang shrimp, which was very hot fresh and delicious. I also sampled someone else's sweet potato fries which were simply the best I've ever had. (I don't typically like sweet potato fries). I ended up ordering the three taco meal with Coleslaw. The tacos were a little dry, but our waitress suggested Chipotle sauce which did kick them up a notch. Overall the experience was good. It took a bit long for the waitress to bring our check but I suppose it was because we had a huge party.

Omg!!! This is the best place everrrrrr. We have pescatarians in our family and chose this spot specifically. Everything from the drinks (cucumber rose) .. to the appetizer (mussels and bang bang shrimp) to the entree (stuffed salmon) was AMAZING!!!! And to top it off our server Luke made everything a breeze. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend!!

I felt like I was in Biloxi! Sooo gooooood!! I had the fried flounder. Did have to add some salt and pepper but that could just be my preference. I am not a hushpuppie eater so that wasn't touched. Remember to flip the fish!!! My daughter had the crab legs. She devoured it. I couldn't finish my fish...too much. Great service. I suggest going early before the crowds come in the evenings and on the weekends. Definitely will be back.

Guess what...I went again and ordered the same thing except I ordered three brought one home and ate it myself before it disappeared. My soror ordered shrimp scallops French fries and Cole slaw. We enjoyed it. BTW, I got another free brownie for my review. Oh yeah, I had a glass of wine.

The food was great. The server Olivia was dishonest about adding additional food on to our check and was not apologetic about the huge increase in price when it was brought to her attention. She actually became rude because we had caught what she did. For that reason I will not be returning or recommending this establishment.

The food here was absolutely amazing. We got the crispy Parmesan brussel sprouts, down south oysters, Mahi Mahi Sandwich, and the Blackened Ahi Tuna and Scallops. Everything was really good and the customer service was great.

My friends and I ate Lunch here today and this was my first time trying out the restaurant. We all ordered something different and tried each others dish's. Everything I tasted was spot on delicious. My experience was good from the hostess to the waiter. As a matter of fact the waiter was the General Manager, Phillip. Thank you Phillip for an amazing experience at your restaurant You even went above and beyond with the extra complimentary appetizer, salad and carrot cake dessert you gave us to share. I wish all restaurants could give that type of care and service. I will definitely be back and bring my friends and family to enjoy this amazing food and service. Thank you so much!

I have to say, every single thing I ordered was a knockout. I wanted a light meal but still wanted to taste around the menu. The star is the oysters...I told the bartender I should've just ordered a dozen of each! Utterly amazing flavor, and served hot (something that you would think is common sense, but a lot of restaurants miss). I couldn't choose a favorite. The salad was spot on, Rangoon's were good as well. Bartenders made great in convo, and the manager came to thank us. Knock out guys, this type of experience is what brings customers back.

Lemme start wit The Green Goddess salad+ , Total standout. Do not skimp on the salmon, u will remember as an original, vibrant , & v v tasty healthy option on the expansive menu. U hangry? The Stuffed Salmon has your name on it. Won't b able to finish it. The She-Crab soup w chives is v tasty; Must admit though, do wish they cooked it WOut the swine. I order takeout from here lots; HLS does have a cool dining room. If u wants the juicy raw oysters, you'll need to dine in. The cooked charbroiled ones are also v v nice. Dine-in also gets u access to the expansive & lofty bar area which all the kids are talking bout. Look at the pics, v v nice (Borat)

HL&S is located right off of South Atlanta Rd in the West Village complex, it's an awesome live/work/play community with several great restaurants and businesses. There is ample parking, although it can be tricky to find a spot during peak dining hours. Although the food is ok, I'm just not overly impressed with Hook Line and Schooner. We went for dinner and sat at the bar, and the bartender was super nice but acted SO disheveled and scatterbrained the entire time....may have just been an "off day"? Lobster and Shrimp Rangoons were a good little starter, I think what made these good was the sweet Thai chili sauce...honestly though what isn't good with this stuff?! The meals come with a salad to start plus 2 sides, so there is quite a bit of food! I was a little disappointed in my order...the Mahi was under seasoned and the citrus butter that came with it lacked any addition flavor that the fish needed. The broccoli was HUGE...honestly they need to cut those down into better bite sized pieces. I didn't even want to eat it because it was too much work to make them edible!! However the Brussel Sprouts are killer, then again...kind of like the chili sauce, nothing sucks when it's deep fried with parmesan right? One plus is that they're currently in the Atlanta Dining Passbook, which is good for a BOGO meal. In the end, I wasn't super impressed with the food here. Very "middle of the road" for me.

This place has been an absolute gem for years! The new family that acquired the place maybe 6 years ago has been so nice and accommodating; they make sure all your needs are met fast. Your water won't be empty, you won't need to look far for more tartar sauce, and the food is just amazing. The hostess and Luke in particular and super attentive, nice, and real. Stop by when you're in the area!

This photo go with the review from D S. I would not recommend this restaurant. The food was cooked in old grease and it was burnt. My friend Threw up after eating some of the food.

Woah. This place is fantastic! Delicious food, reasonable pricing, great service, lots of parking. Can't ask for anything more. Recently visited Hook Line & Schooner for an early evening dinner and I'll definitely be back for more. I called and made a reservation out of precaution for 5pm as I wanted a patio seat. The gentleman who answered the phone said it'd be fine as they're usually dead around 5/6 but are swamped at 7 so be aware of peak time because this place can get PACKED. Once we arrived, we were immediately seating under the covered outdoor patio. Tables were distant and staff had gloves and masks. Great service by the way. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, quick, and kept safe distance. *just a side note, there was a customer who was visibly loud and rude to our server but she managed to keep her cool, but PLEASE be respectful to your servers. They work hard and try their best especially during a pandemic!* On to the food....just so good! I wasn't expecting this type of place to have an extensive drink menu or a good one but I actually ordered a mule and it was delicious. We also ordered fried calamari as an appetizer and again so flavorful and delicious. The sweet and sour sauce and spicy mayo sauce were great additions to the plate. Finally, I ordered the grilled snow crab legs and oh my god....I didn't want this meal to end. The crab legs were flavorful and grilled to perfection. The corn and potatoes on the side were seasoned and grilled so well. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better dinner plate. Can't wait to come back. There's like 4 more things I want to try and now that I know they also do take out and have lovely outdoor seating if I'm feeling social, I'll definitely be on my way back soon!

I enjoyed my dinner here, I really just wished they didn't grill the oysters as long. The grilled oysters were good but they tasted more smoked than anything. The fried seafood platter was good with great flavor. This dish came with fried shrimp, scallops, hush puppies and fish. The Brussels sprouts were fresh and crispy, the sprinkled Parmesan was a good edition. I can't wait to try more dishes from the menu.

To be honest: my review is based on takeout. I ordered brussel sprouts, hush puppies and the calamari. A little too much for one person. I loved the brussel sprouts although I wish they had more crisp to them. Really seasoned well though. Hush puppies were hush puppies - it's hard to mess them up. Calamari was good - really enjoyed the two sauces it came with. Everything tasted fresh - just wish I had thought to pick up my order a little earlier as I guess it wasn't busy on a Sunday night. Next time I'll dine in and see what else they can do. Only 4 stars because it wasn't mind blowing but it was good. Seems like it's better to dine in.

Great food, great service, and wonderful ambience. The menu is very inclusive so those who Might not be real sea good fans can still enjoy this establishment.

Who serves imitation crab at a seafood restaurant! The Cajun Seafood dip was beyond disappointing with the imitation crab. The food was flavorless and very unappealing. I was so excited because I always heard great things. I don't know if something changed but I won't give it a second chance which is something I normally do. I had the she crab which was like a chowder. Didn't expect that and the seafood scampi I took couple bites and that was it. There was no take home for me. Not worth the trouble of packing it up. Oh the drink was good blueberry smash and our server John was very friendly.
