Hook fish and chicken has been around for years. It's a great place to grab a meal on the go. The service and food is consistent and saves you time in cooking a home made meal. Only once we I had a problem with the food not being cooked. It was different staff. I went back the next day( they were closed when I got to the hotel and noticed the food was not cooked throughly ) the staff gave.minor push back but confirmed we had called the night before to share our experience. After going g there for years this was the first time I had a issue. I was disappointed b e cause I knew I was missing a mouth watering meal. read more

Great food. Prices high for a take out spot. Would recommend if you have the money to spend.

Whenever we are in the area, we always stop in for fried okra, chicken wings and fries. The food is very tasty! There are tables to dine-in, but I wouldn't want to eat there. There's more of an order and go vibe. There are handy benches to wait for the deliciousness to be ready! read more

Hook Fish & Chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I have been going to hooks once a week faithfully for years and was surprised to see a whole different staff working. I paid no attention to that just waiting for the best chicken with extra lemon powder I have ever had to be done. I noticed the lights had water pooling in them as it was raining outside and there were small food buckets scattered on the floor. I sat on the purple bench and within seconds was dropped on consistently for the few moments I sat there. I moved to the booths and the same thing, the only dry place was inside of the door. Once I got my food and we left making it home we had the worst meal ever. The chicken was over fried, the fries were not good and there was barely any lemon seasons even though we had asked for extra seasoning before we left. We have vowed too not go back unless the previous owners and staff return. read more

See all

My arteries started clogging while I waited in line. Don't let appearances, or location fool you. If you can stomach ultra greasy chicken and fried fish...this is your kind of place! Warning: the "Let Me See You Move Something" man from Blue Cross will pay you a visit shortly after devouring one of their meals. I've tried the Fried Chicken, the Perch, and the Fries. All were very tasty, and I had a very long nap after my meal. The price was reasonable too, and for about 25 bucks, 4 people were fed, and filled successfully. If you aren't one to buy into how the "North" is so "dangerous"....take a stroll off the beaten path to Hook Fish and Chicken...make sure to bring wet naps, Tums, and an empty belly to fill. read more

Hook Fish & Chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Well I ate there several times and didn't have a problem. But this time I ordered to go and when I got home the chicken was really old so when u order to go and order chicken make sure u tell them to fry it fresh cause u don't want to get home and get a surprise . read more

went to the coletrain location. the fries and hush puppies were great. the tenders were soft and not crunchy. the perch was horrible. first one was bland and a little over cooked threw the tail end of fillet away. took one bite of second one and spit it right back out!! yuck. I've wanted to eat there for the longes time and now that I did i not never to return. perch should be some damn good eating!! read more

Hook Fish & Chicken - the inside of a plastic bag - Sandwiches Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I've only had the fried chicken from here but why would I have anything else from here? Very curious to try their fried fish offerings, as well as their sandwiches. But if I did that, I'd rob myself of the fried chicken I love so much. You can also buy 300 chicken wings for $184 if you're abnormally hungry. I've only been to the North MPLS location. Service was good. Dude hooked us up with free extra hot sauce ($0.50 value). Parking lot had sufficient space for my car. Place definitely feels greasy and grimey, but it's a fried chicken joint in North and I'm wearing cut-off jean shorts so who am I to judge. read more

Admittedly, this place has "character" It's grimy, homegrown, and utterly charming. Hook Fish & Chicken is such an excellent take out restaurant, it's a shame people are afraid to voyage into North Minneapolis to try it. Believe me, it's well worth the wait. Now, this is not a healthy eating option, but you knew that before you clicked on the link. What you do get is some of the beast fried chicken and fish in the cities Lots of great options too, like perch, jack salmon, catfish, and shrimp.... Ahh, the shrimp here makes the trip totally worth it. Please support this local joint and the wonderful owner. read more

For starters let's describe the setting. There were 8 police cruisers parked across the street making and arrest. There was an individual standing directly outside the entrance peddling dvds. On the other side there were two individuals catcalling all the female patrons as they approached. Inside, their were two individuals that I can only speculate on what the items they were exchanging were. Now let's talk food. I ordered the large catfish dinner. It came with 4 fillets, fries, coleslaw, and bread. Cost was $11. The fish was unevenly cooked as some of the breeding in the creases of the fillet was mushy. Meanwhile,some of the other pieces were crisp and others were soggy. Hey sprinkle some type of seasons over the fish after it's been cooked. I'm definitely not a fan of whatever it was. I do think that this place has the potential to be better. I just went when they were a little off their game hopefully. Two star rating was a result of the food and the setting. It's an environment that you need to be prepared to enter. If you're sheepish stay away. If you like the nice areas of town. Stay away. If you're fine with wherever the beaten path takes you, give it a shot. Like a said I think on any given day you could get great food from this place. read more

Broooo, that shit SLAPPDT! Them chicken tenders went nuts. I got more than I expected with the chicken tenders. Those 6 tenders I got could have fed my whole family! The place was colder than a yeti's nut tho. Other than that my dining experience was satisfactory. read more

I was driving up Broadway and looking for something a little different from the corporate fast food chains. I saw the Hook and whipped a u-turn to give it a shot. Admittedly, I wasn't expecting much considering the place could use some basic maintenance, upkeep, and cleaning. Oh, and that the place was empty at 12:15pm on a Wednesday. The menu is pretty basic, you've got a few variations of fried fish, and a few options for fried chicken. All of which, come with enough food for at least 2 people. I decided to give the catfish a try. The guy fried up 3 fresh filets of catfish that were amazing! Way beyond my expectation of a greasy, stinky, fishy tasting filet. The fries were good too, they obviously fry them in a different fryer since they didn't have the fish flavor I was expecting either. I would definitely go back again, next time I'll go with either a bigger appetite or a couple more people to help me finish my lunch! read more

My previous job brought me here as my client wanted a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. The menu mainly was everything with fries. I ordered fried okra, hushpuppies, and 4 fried jumbo shrimp ala carte. The shrimp were surprisingly huge like prawns not butterfly shrimp and very good. The hushpuppies and okra was good and I brought most if it home. The place is located right on Broadway in North Minneapolis. The counter person also did the cooking. 4/5 due to bathroom needing to be totally gutted as floor was crumbling and floor uneven and unclean. Doubt if I'll return as I won't be working in Minneapolis again. The food was good. read more

Stopped for the first time today, at the Lake street location. Food was awesome! I ordered the shrimp and wings basket, which also came with fries, toast, cole slaw, and a soft drink for under $10. The portions were huge, I had leftovers to take home! There was a little bit of a wait, food is cooked after ordered. No burgers and fries sitting under the warming lamp like most places. So when your food arrives it is HOT!! Nice menu with good selection of fish, chicken, sides, and desserts. read more

This place is a good cheap fast food fish joint and they actually are halal and have a prayer room so I'm very impressed.

Ooooh boy this place is great. Great chicken wings and the fried catfish is tasty without tasting fishy. The hot sauce and the strange lemon salt they put on the food is unique and yumbo. Not necessarily the best but if you match up the price to food quality... it's tops. I'm docking the place a point because there's always a loud mouth customer yammering on the phone. I know it's not there fault but that's the fact jack. read more

Be-careful if your eating at Hooks on Broadway... Last night I went in an purchased the large gizzards and mushrooms. I stepped out to my car and came back in to watch for my food. Well Im looking and see the rather large set older guy frying the food (with gloves on) and it was cool until my gizzards came up and I saw some drop to the floor, THIS MOTHER F#$KER looked around and got ready to pick up about two gizzards until he looked and caught my eye.....and I read him thinking "like damn!!"..and he raised back up ..still not letting him know that it was my food he got nervous and continued to watch my every move. I have been eating there since I moved over North in 2012 and that will be my last time messing around with them....and yep I alerted everyone outside in their cars to go watch over their food.Shame on the older male Cook with the gray hair that was at the fryers at 915pm on 07/24/2018. read more

Pretty good chicken. I'm 95% sure it's same chain as J&J Fish and Chicken that I've reviewed, which was my only dissapointment when I tried it, as menu is same and it tastes same. But I like J&J so, hey. Everything is made fresh, so I recommend calling ahead. read more

Yum!!! It's just sooo good I don't know how else to say it. The chicken is the best ever. I recommend requesting a little extra seasoning. The fries are pretty good too. I'm not a huge fan of coleslaw but ppl say its average. Honestly this place specializes in chicken and fish, and they def get 5 stars for that!! North Mpls gets a bad wrap. We live there & it's not as bad as ppl say. Yeah the parking lot looks sketchy at night & it is off broadway but I've been there late & never had a problem. Check it out! read more

hankering for some fried chicken had me driving down Broadway...driven by Hook's numerous times and last night I made in. Now, I've lived in North for almost 8 years...so it takes a bit to frazzle me, but Hook's parking lot at dusk is a bit scary. But it was so worth the few seconds of apprehension during the walk back to the car. I got the 3 wings with fries....oh my....finger lickin good all for 4.25, nice. Came with a small container of hot sauce and packets of BBQ sauce... Highly recommend this place, I would even go as far to say that it gives Tooties a run for their money on the wings. Just bring cash and day light hours recommended for those who get a little jumpy. read more

I was expecting to just run in and get some greasy deep fried foods that's been sitting under a heat lamp or something.. but instead I received some amazingly fresh and flaky deep fried fish and delicious and moist deep fried chicken. Absolutely delicious and not overpowered with flavors. Give them a try :) read more

Great chicken. They also had an awesome selection of pies and other desserts that looked amazing. If your ok with going into the hood. Go get some of this fried chicken. read more

Have eaten at Central Avenue location. Somewhat disorganized, but good Tilapia. Good value, good location. Certainly have their regulars. Reminds me a bit of old school Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips. read more

I have been there a couple times. Everything is deep fried...that is a good thing, but theirs ends up mostly batter. I like sauces, most of theirs is in those little pain in the ass packets. Bad drink choice. Seems to take forever to get food. Other customers can be loud and obnoxious. I won't go back for awhile, but won't rule it out either. read more

Fried everything :) Quality fried to order catfish, good hushpuppies, tasty fries, and coleslaw. Chicken wings a bit dry and overly salted. Definitely a great post-bar pit-stop. Service was friendly a read more

Use to love coming here for the chicken tender dinner but then they changed the type of meat they use. The fries are still great and the gyros and sandwiches are all pretty good. read more

I'm from Plymouth and love coming here. People get to scared to travel to the Northside when in reality there is really no danger. Best place for chicken in the cities by far read more

Things that make you go hmmmm...This is that time. Normally when I go to Hooks I order the sambusa...(very yum). But this time I wanted some good fish and shrimp. I ordered the tilapia and shrimp. Okay sounds awesome, I LOVE LOVE tilapia. They was boxing up my meal and asked me "Do you want seasoning?" Okay As I seen them darn near cover people's food with that mysterious white dust cloud. What is it?? Season?? What kind of "season" are you trying to suffocate my poor meal in? So I chose no "season" then left. When I got home and started to eat the meal...the shrimp was good. The fries...ehhh I will pass on those next time..had a odd texture to them. Are they battered too?? Jeez. So I got to the tilapia, there were two fillets and boy they are large!! But when i ate some WHY OH WHY did it taste like the bottom of a fish tank?? Ugh...i mean it just tasted like murky lake water..did they get these poor fish from lake Calhoun??? I'm just saying, so i tried it with the hot sauce that came with it. MUCH better! Now I see why they want you to let them put a blanket of the white dust on the food. To cover the finding nemo dirty goldfish bowl taste. (Shrug) but hey I can always count on the Sambusa!! read more

so i came to this place becaue i love fish and chips. The place was in a sketchy parto of the neighborhood. one guy was wearing a super huge winter Jacket in April infront of this store. when i entere the restaurant. it was dirty, and one guy was working in there. The guy was nice but he looked like he didn't want to be there. after he rang me up. I handed him the money, he didn't take the money right away because he was too busy looking at the road, How freaking rude is that when you don't acknowledge a customer infront of you. I ordered the tilapia with shrimp combo. fish was dry, shrimps were ok but still greasy, fries were decent. the tartar sauce they gave me was in little plastic pacakage and was the worst, my 5 year old can make better tartar sauce. I used run a fish and chips restaurant in CT so i know a little bit about fish and chips. I wouldn't go there again. very dissapointed. read more
