The hubs had the slick willies burger and said it was fantastic, had bark on it like he likes. The fish was okay, you could taste the grease in the batter. In saying this, I am a bit picky with a fish fry, I don't want it to taste greasy or fishy. When I put the fork into the fish, the batter broke away from the fish, bummer but not a deal breaker. The prices are great!

The wings are grilled to perfection, seasoned well and they have a list of flavors to choose from. Flavors like PBnJ , Honey Mustard, Dragon's Breathe, etc. The service is very friendly. Our bartender was super nice and funny. The other waitress made sure we were good and polite. The drinks were good too. The bartender made me a crow blackberry mule and then I asked if he could mix a white claws wild cherry, with peach schnapps and grenadine. It literally tastes like a peace of candy. The vibe of the bar is nice. Good music and they had the sports games on so I will definitely comeback. Especially since the specials everyday.

So the staff is challenged in many ways. I ordered a personal pepperoni/sausage pizza and it was missing the sausage. The bartender who could not leave her phone alone did not seem to care so I asked did the cook make a mistake and she replied she did not hear me say sausage. She offered to remake it and I said no. The crust is crap and it was over cooked. Others have said the same. I was watching drag racing (auto drag racing) on the main TV in front of me and another server changed the channel. I said what are doing?! She smiled and said Bingo Tuesday, 7pm. It was 6:40pm. So for 40 minutes it was a static photo. I moved to watch it on a smaller crappy TV. She walked over and kissed her, I assume, physically, gravitationaly challenged lover. Asked to cash out. Prior to walking there I checked the online menu, typical bar food but I had a taste for pizza. Online a personal two topping was $10 and I was charged $12. She looked online and adjusted the price for me. This is not the first time I came across the buy-1-get-1 beer coupon and if another comes along I will pass.

I started cutting into the brisket and was immediately turned off. This was like cutting into a piece of beef jerky. It was try and tough and I shouldn't have even put it in my mouth, but I reluctantly did! Oh wait, this isn't that forum in that adult magazine.... But Yuck Yuck Yuck to that dry meat. Luckily, there was a LOT of brisket so I fished around and cut a piece from the other end and wow... BUTTER! This was some of the juiciest brisket I've had. The fat rendered nicely and it was still meaty. SOOOO good. Yes, this good part was connected to the bad part. The $6 add on for the sausage was pretty good as well, as was the side of Mac n Cheese. With the add on, it's probably a shareable plate for most people, including me these days. Parking is limited as it's kind of in a neighborhood, and the Redbar itself has a locals, dive-bar vibe, which isn't a bad thing. Just something you should know! Cheap beers though!

I ordered over the phone like any normal person would, but jesus fuck did i feel like i was not welcome to ordering food. Whoever the hell was on the phone, which im pretty sure was the guy that owns the place was a real jerk. All i asked for was the specials of the day and i got nothing but a snarky reply. That should have been my indication to say fuck you golden chicken and hang up, but i kept ordering anyways because I know customer service can be difficult (not that difficult though). So i ordered some deep fried stuff (thats all that they have, unless you like eating shitty pizza) and got lackluster "help" through that time as well. As my order concluded, the fellow just about hung up on me... um ... hello, uh, id like to pay with my credit card you asshole... Should have cancelled there, still didnt... The food was good, but again... how hard is it to fuck up deep fried food. These people suck and i will not be ordering from there again...

We turned around and turned into the scarce parking lot. There are no more than ten spaces available on the otherwise corner lot. The drive-thru is a single lane that also serves as the restaurant's exit. There is a second exit on 26th Street, which would be the "side" entrance and exit. Problematic I'm sure when business picks up on nights and weekend evenings. We went inside and found an employee cleaning the space below the counter where they kept the individual soda cans available for sale with "combo" meals. We decided to order when my "much better half" was satisfied she could eat from the kitchen where cleanliness passed with flying colors. She ordered the three piece fried jack salmon, I ordered the three piece catfish filet... about $21 for both meals. They were boxed in a styrofoam container, both meals had a rubber band securing the container and placed in a plastic bag. It was 15 to 20 minutes drive to home..... Here we go! We arrived home and got ready for dinner. We sat down for the "moment of truth". Most of these places' main entrées are reasonably warm but the fries are like warm or cooling.... Not Hook's.....fries were HOT... Catfish was POW!!! Excellent!!! Hot. The fish was still hot to the touch, you bit into the filet and had to stop because the steam from it almost burned you! Eventually, we got to eat. It was excellent. The food is right on. This is what all people ask for, you get it here at Hook's. Well done! The store would get five stars if it weren't for the mediocre location which could put place patron's security in doubt. There is no seating inside except to wait for your food. People generally are very respectful and nice. The place is well lighted. The solid reputation for the quality of food served is true and exact. Food is excellent.

So everthing was rolling on smoothly... Until we ate the food. It... just wasn't the same... I'm trying to limit our "chicken" day to once a month, and I wouldn't come back here for that. I'm a little sad. Other J&J locations are better. I also noted some discrepancies in price between here and the website. So maybe they're not a legit J&J? Anyway, the food was just bland... not crispy enough... Wings - too dry. Like old wings. They weren't even hot. Felt like they had been fried some hours ago. Catfish nuggets - fishy. "Fishy" smelling fried fish means NOT fresh fish. But these were newly made - piping hot. So comparing their warmth to the chicken, you could tell the chicken was definitely made earlier, before we had called. Fries - soggy. Period.

This last time, we got the 50 piece whole wings ($58.99) and 34 piece legs and thighs ($47.99). Enough to feed 20 people. With this order, we got 7 little packets of coleslaw. Hubby keeps picking up and forgetting to check, but we really needed more coleslaw. They also forgot bread. But a lot of hot sauce. One time, we got the 15 piece whole wings and 8 piece legs and thighs. It was plenty to feed two men and one gal with big appetites. Should be plenty for 4 people with big appetites, with leftovers. I generally get a lot so we can have leftovers. **On many occasions, they forget to pack coleslaw and bread. Check! 7/2024- Fried gizzard on this last pick up order. A+! Notes: - fried whole wings - deliciously golden, not too salty. They are whole wings, in 3 sections, which is nice if you like the wing tip area like I do. - potato wedges - these are more expensive than regular fries, but there's no Merrit in paying the extra. Regular fries are pretty good, and the wedges are subpar. - don't get lost. They are located right on the corner of Teutonia and Good Hope, inside the gas station.

It's got a lot of crunch to it and it's not very greasy at all, which is pretty surprising for fried chicken. The breading and chicken have good flavor, and they usually give you big pieces. Their potatoes are nothing special, but the gravy is very good. There are little chunks of breading and chicken in it, and it adds a lot of flavor. Their coleslaw is about average. The BBQ ribs are about what you'd expect. One unexpected place where they do shine, though, is their churros. They add just the right amount of cinnamon sugar to them and they make a great treat right after a heavy chicken dinner. Overall, they're a very good and apparently family run local restaurant.
