Fast and hot. They also put large orders in serving pans which I liked. And they put holes in it so the crispy chicken stays crispy.

I love this place so much. The food is delicious and I like that they stay open late too.

This restaurant is amazing stop for food on way home. This is my go to spot for gizzards and liver. There is not much competition for those options. The other competition does nkt even compete with hook though. They have lots of other options on the menu. Suggest you check it out if in regency. read more

What is with the powder they dust all over their food? Is it salt? Seasoning? Parmesan? It has the taste of thousand year old salt so I'm not sure. The shrimp tastes like the fries and fries like the shrimp so was it fried in the same fryer? read more

Hook Fish & Chicken - Fried Shrimp and fries - Fish & Chips Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The 6-piece wings with fries or okra haven't failed me yet, and the special dusting powder they sprinkle on top adds a little extra razzle-dazzle. The drive-through line always moves quickly and the prices are very affordable. My food is always hot and fresh. read more

The food is delicious is the only thing good. even though I noticed the portions were less than before no soft drinks. not even cans. ice tea was ok not offered any sauce and charges for other sauces and the worst part is hot hot it is inside. no a/c at all. we had to leave because it was so hot. read more

Quick, fresh fish & chicken cooked per order. Breading is light, not at all masking the flavor of the fish or chicken. The portions are plentiful. The French fries are crisp on the outside, soft inside with the taste of a fresh potato. Highly recommend this TO-GO restaurant. No seating, but a wonderful place to order, pick up, take it home, watch TV & enjoy every bite read more

I wish I could give 0 stars! This restaurant has went down tremendously! I was a loyal custOmer until the service went to hit or miss!! Todays issue is I order catfish and fries and catfish and shrimp. By time I get my food the fish is saggy and soft from the poor packaging of fired food! Then they didn't even give me the correct fish! And this hasn't been the first time! Seems like they only give you catfish if it's the nuggets not filet! That's ridiculous! Somebody is spending there money and expecting to get what they asked for! They should close this location also! Then I call ask for manager or owner! Rude workers hangs up in my face!!!! I wish k could upload pictures! read more

Food is okay, service is AWFUL !!!!, the tall guy at the front was sooooo rude that I just wanted to go as soon as possible. I wouldn't recommend it in a million years. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Jacksonville! First of all, they're open late! That's already a distinguishing factor in a place like Jax where everything shuts down early. The food is always hot and fresh, tasty, and the portions + prices are super reasonable. I love the wings, the shrimp, and the catfish nuggets. I was taking my dad to the airport as his visit here was wrapping up and we were in a bind for something good, quick, and easy. I decided Hook's would get the job done and he fell in love! He had enough food that he even brought some home to my mom who also loved it. When they both came for a visit a few months later, they insisted Hook's be on the itinerary. I crave this place all the time! Keep it up, y'all've got a loyal fan in me. read more

Hook Fish & Chicken - Wings and shrimp - Fish & Chips Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I ordered the Gizzards, and they were amazing!! The seasoning they add to their food is just the perfect amount! Nice and breaded and delicious! Fries were nice and crispy. The Cat Fish nuggets were also delicious! Definitely will be back read more

Came here on 8/4/2025 around 13:30. Started out being rude over the intercom. I didn't think nothing about it. I drove to the window got my food and he just walked off. I asked for ketchup and hot sauce. I said thank you multiple times and his long neck ass just looked at me stupid. I will never go back. I can deal with bad food but will never put up with bad service. And my food looked as if it was just thrown in the tray. read more

Hook Fish & Chicken - Fish & Chips Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

First off I will say if you are coming here please don't expect anything but great fried food. This place is not a five star dining experience and it does look a little sketchy but don't be fooled the staff know what they are doing in the kitchen. I always come here when it's too late to go anywhere else and I want fresh hot food! They stay open super late and the food is always made to order. I had the double fish this time and also some mozzarella sticks which aren't pictured because they didn't stand a chance once I got them. Overall love this place ! read more

This place always comes through with good food. And the hours are awesome, I've seen they've also redone the inside as well although I've not been inside since. I will continue to come here forever. read more

Drive thru order. Food tasted very good. Ordered the fried shrimp and fries. No soft drinks. Very limited sit down inside. Reasonably price food. Sauces can cost extra if you want extra from what is provided. I will return to try another dish. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. It's in the area where I work so I frequent them ALOT. They offer multiple seafood options as well as chicken, sides and sweets. The service here is very simple, you drive up or you go and place your order. The staff are all super friendly, it appears to be a small family ran restaurant. I normally get the tender and shrimp plate or I'll get a 3 item platter when I'm feeling like a big back‍ read more

I ordered the liver and gizzard meal and was really disappointed. The food lacked seasoning, and the fries were underwhelming. On top of that, the service was poor -- the man at the counter had us waiting just to hear our total because he was busy talking with other employees. Unfortunately, this experience has convinced me not to return. read more

Food is great and always hot and fresh! The service is always good and they all are nice and friendly!

The 10$ wing deal can't beat it , the lemon pepper wings was great and crispy how I like them not gummy ! you have to get the sweet and tangy sauce fire read more

Worst ever! I live not even 1/3 mile away, food was 15 minutes late her GPS took her wrong way ! family gizzard order was so nasty, old and chewy Had to have been yesterdays gizzards..... French fries limp. Didn't even have the salt seasoning they usually do. Last 2 times been disappointed so guess 3 strikes they are off my list for delivery or take out. read more

I love this place because you get a hot fresh meal extremely quick thru the drive thru and fish is fresh and my only issue is I drive 40 minutes to get there and back home again. Wish they were closer , lol !! read more

Overall good food and the price wasn't bad at all. The service was fast and accurate. It's in a good location.

Hot fried foods. Fresh and delicious with nice msg seasoning. Would recommend drive through and take out. It's like an old fish bait shop inside. Very busy. Filthy inside. Restrooms had no lights. Live Muslim tv playing in Arabic. read more

Absolutely LOVE it here. Excellent and quick service with delicious comfort food. Fried shrimp and fish meal was more than enough for 3 meals and price was very reasonable. Man taking order was nice and personable as we're cooks who were also friendly. Amazing service, excellent food, great prices!!! read more

Not only was the food was JUST okay and the customer service was lackluster, but the place was a mess. Definitely passing on this place in the future. read more

Great food, sketchy place. Service isn't perfect but it's fresh fried food that is open till 3am and is tasty as heck. Fried shrimp and chicken tenders late night is a godsend. I just do drive through. read more

I get that some people don't like chicken gizzards...but for those of us that do...this place does them very well and serve large portions at great prices! read more

Mannnnn fried fish be so good! Hot and fresh. Lemon pepper seasoning that's too legit to quit! I try to remember to take a pic but I be so busy trying to dig in. This isn't the best picture by far. However if you want some crispy and well seasoned fish do NOT pass this place up. Consistency across the board at any location I've been to and I've been to hooks as far south as Miami - Ft. Lauderdale area. ALSO for my super southern folk like me. They have REAL good SWEET TEA like it will steal your heart Service always decent too. Friday and Saturday nights the line is wrapped around the business and in the street for drive - thru. Always worth the wait tho read more

Hook Fish & Chicken - Fried catfish dinner - Fish & Chips Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

After some trail riding at Hanna Park, I decided to swing by Hook and grab some lunch platters To-Go for the family. I used to frequent Hook every now and then when I use to work nearby this place years ago. Not a lot has changed. The building and lot still looks worn down, not overly well kept. But I was not there for the building, I went there for the food, and their food never disappoints. Pretty generous amount of food.   They serve all kinds of seafood and wings. Everything here for the most part is made to order and fried. Depending how big your order is, it takes about an average 15 minutes or less. I received my food quick.   And whatever white stuff or seasoning they're sprinkling on the fries, livers and shrimp, make sure ask more of it. I will proudly name it "White Dust" because it is a nice seasoning that compliments the taste of the food. I ordered the following: Mozzarella Sticks Liver & Shrimp Platter Whiting & Shrimp Platter Shrimp Platter   The hard part after getting my food, was driving on the way home, the smell of the food was too much..gets you HOOK'd read more

Now I get why there's always a line at Hook Fish & Chicken. Don't be fooled by its sketchy vibe, especially at night. The drive thru is a bit tight but the line moves pretty quickly considering your food is cooked to order. The menu is huge and can be overwhelming so I recommend reviewing it online before you go if it's your first visit. I ordered chicken tenders with extra seasoning (at the suggestion of a previous reviewer) and subbed corn nuggets for fries. I'm glad I got the small order because they were huge!! Three came to an order but I could only manage to eat one. They're some of the best made from scratch tenders I've ever had. Perfectly cooked to where they were actually JUICY without being undercooked. The seasoning they sprinkle on them adds the perfect twang; glad I listened and got extra. The corn nuggets were your usual: golden, salty, and sweet. Aside from the mostly chicken and fish menu, Hook also serves falafel, gyro, hummus, kebab, and shawarma. They're open pretty late, giving us night owls a better option than the typical fast food fair. I'm a fan of the portions you get for the value and can't wait to try more of their food. read more

I got the #8 which was whiting and wings. It was nice and hot but I was not sure of the seasoning they sprinkle on top. So this made me forget to ask for ketchup for my fries. I was eating in between appointments so I had to do without. There also was no eating utensils or napkins in my bag either. The food was ok but not sure if I enjoy it enough to go again, I went due to a recommendation from a friend. read more

Disappointed ordered 3 4 pcs wings and My kids chicken were not fully cooked just one read more

Their food is bomb. It's always fresh, they don't skip on seasoning, and it feels me up. Something about their fries too!!

This place is open late and is Fire every time. They don't miss. I love the deals they have and the cheese cake !!

They open late and the food is cooked when ordered. You can see the cooks cooking your food. The servings are huge. My tray wouldn't closed.

Never fails call 10 minutes before and my food is always ready to go sporadically have ordered from these guys maybe once a month and their chicken tenders are always fresh and juicy and handmade and out of this world. Literally I've never had Chicken tenders better than these read more

Hook Fish & Chicken - Juiciest chicken fingers in town - Fish & Chips Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The food was greasy and soggy, we threw it away and went somewhere else. Also way too much salt on top.

This is actually a little hidden gem. Always can count on the food being great and it's priced well actually for the quantity. Always cooked fresh. Service is good just be very clear when ordering about what you want because they can quickly mistake what you ask for. Also the seasoning can be done a little excessively so if you don't like it that way you better ask for none and put it on yourself. read more

Definitely a hole-in-the-wall place, and i'll probably never dine-in, but would i come back constantly? Yes. They have the most affordable, but DEFINITELY TASTY chickens and gizzards in whole Jax if you ask me. We've been seeing these guys quite often, but i'm now taking the time to give them the credit they deserve. Only reason i'm giving 4 is, again, because i'm not so sure about dining in.. haha. Hope they stay around forever! read more

Great experience! Food was cooked to perfection! Great consumer service. Will definitely recommend this food spot!
