    Hush Puppies
    Jason F.

    I stopped by here last night for dinner. My wife and I had been to the Hook Fish & Chicken in Homewood and the food was great. Due to that and the fact that my father loves fish, I had wanted him to try it for Father's Day. This specific location is located right on Federal Street in the North Side. The inside consists of a couple of benches, a place to order and that's about it. It's a cash only business and due to that, the workers are well protected by glass which I presume is bullet proof. On this day I decided to call in my dinner order and so placed it right around 5 PM. Since I wanted my dad to try a bit of everything, I ordered a perch fish sandwich, a whiting fish sandwich, a perch and chicken meal, a catfish meal, a 6 piece chicken meal and then a side of hushpuppies. I was told that it would be ready in 15 minutes and whenever I asked the cost, was told $77. It ended up taking me about 1/2 hour to get to Hook Fish & Chicken with the cash and whenever I arrived my food was indeed ready. So about 5 minutes after I had arrived I was in my car and headed home. After opening up all of the food I realized that I had probably over ordered as it was a massive amount of food! Out of the fish, I really enjoyed both the perch and the catfish and thought that the whiting was just ok as it was somewhat fishy. My dad ended up enjoying all of it and even went back for more which I don't see too often! Then the chicken was excellent and the size of the tenders here is no joke. The hushpuppies were nicely fried and had a great crispy exterior and soft interior and the fries, while a bit soggy (likely due to the trip home), were also good. Lastly the Cole slaw was also good and my mom, who normally doesn't enjoy Cole slaw even had a second helping of it. Everything that is fried here ends up being dusted with their seasoning, which reminds me a bit of a salt and vinegar flavor, and so everything has a ton of flavor. By the time everyone was finished we still had a ton of food left which was nice as we then had lunch for the next day. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I thought that both their fish and their chicken was quite good and so we will definitely be back.

    The delivery person left my food downstairs on a random table in the lobby.... apparently at 10:30. I get my food and its soggy I wish I could enjoy it bc their food is typically B O M B !! If you want this, go pick it up yourself and eat immediately. Lol

    As long as you don't expect service with a smile, then this will be a good spot for you! I sampled the fried chicken wings, fried scallops, fried whiting filet, fried jumbo shrimps, and French fries. As I review this, I realize how calorically wrong this plate sounds but if you are going to indulge in seafood, this is where you want to be. And everything for me was a sample because the portions were so large that I wasn't able to finish any one thing. It made for great leftovers the next day, though. They sprinkle some dust on the fried seafood after it comes out the fryer but I wouldn't be able to tell you what it is. It looks like sawdust but has no taste and the "friendly" cashier ignored me when I asked him what he was sprinkling on my food. Even with his attitude, I still give this a 4 star experience. That says a lot... There is a take out only restaurant so unless you live in the area, be prepared to eat in your car...like I did.

    6 wings, fries, slaw and bread
    Stacie C.

    I don't know what kind of magic unicorn pixie dust they sprinkle on their food, but whatever it is, I can't get enough! After years of hearing a friend ask me if I've tried Hook Fish and Chicken yet, I could finally answer yes. And then I finally understood why she kept asking. I tried the combo featuring 6 whole wings, fries, slaw and bread. It was all just. So. Good. The bread (your basic white sliced) is placed on the bottom, like a cloud that any grease from the wings can soak in to. The wings and fries are packed into a styrofoam container and sprinkled with their infamous seasoning and then closed tightly with a rubber band placed around to keep all that goodness from spilling out. The menu is basic, just pick your fried food of choice (wings, tenders, fish, shrimp) and sides (even fried okra). My meal was $8. It is cash only and take out only with an ATM on site. You can call ahead but most orders are ready in ten minutes. Be warned, you will become an addict. "Why did I only get 6 wings?" I kept asking myself as I have been dreaming of those wings ever since.

    The quantity of the cod meal wasnt great. We didn't really get what we paid for. Wouldn't buy from here again.

    Our first time here and our expectations were exceeded. We knew it was a top tier restaurant but it…read moretruly excelled in every way. Service, food, drinks, atmosphere were all top notch. Our server was excellent and the auxiliary staff were courteous and efficient. We started with a calamari appetizer which was a little spicy but delicious. Beware of the two Thai chilies in the mix! Next my husband had the lobster bisque. It was quite rich with a large chunk of lobster as a garnish. Our main courses were a 10 ounce filet, wild caught shrimp stuffed with crabmeat and Chilean sea bass. Everyone loved their entrees. Our son especially loved the filet, it was so tender. We ordered two side dishes for the table and they were plenty for the three of us. Decadent lobster mashed potatoes and crabmeat fried rice. We shared a dessert, creme brûlée which was topped with fresh berries and served with chewy cocoa snowflake cookies. Overall the food was excellent. Service started out a little rocky. I had made a reservation online and it would only let me choose a high top. We don't like high tops so I called the restaurant a few days before and they assured me they could accommodate us with a regular table, not to worry. Upon entering and giving my name for the reservation, the Maitre D'être said it's for a high top. I explained that I'd called and we didn't want a high top. He said he could only offer us a booth in the lounge, so we took it. The lounge had a jazz trio playing and the music was a bit too loud for comfortable conversation. The server had to talk above the music to be heard by us. Luckily they took a break and when they came back the volume was lower. As we were leaving I noticed there was a whole dining room with empty tables which were NOT high tops. So why did they seat us in the lounge? Our drink orders were pretty simple, however because they serve the cocktails from the shaker, the server mixed up the dinks and poured my husband's margarita into my 'dirty' martini glass. So I had a three blue cheese olive margarita! A margarita-tini! He realized what he did, apologized and ran off to get another margarita for my husband. I had eaten the olives and tasted the margarita, which was very good. When he returned, he asked if I still wanted the martini and I laughed and said, yes, that what I ordered. So my husband got the benefit of two Margaritas for the price of one and I got three extra blue cheese olives! That was the only goof up. The rest of the meal was flawlessly served. I felt that even though the prices are high, the portion size and the quality of the food provide a good value. You expect to pay more in a place like this. It was well worth it in my opinion. And if you are there during Happy Hour you can choose cocktails and appetizers from the Happy Hour menu which is quite reasonable.

We came in for an early dinner on Saturday 8/29/26 around 5pm before a show at Heinz Field (yes, I KNOW it's Acrisure Stadium - it will always be Heinz Field). This place is packed. As expected. Nowhere to sit, every single table was full. When a party finally left we snagged the dirty table that was never cleaned while we were there. We tried to get food from Mijo but were told before we ordered it would be a ln hour wait for food. We had the time but wasn't sure we wanted to wait that long. We grabbed a couple beers from the bar and the wait wasn't long. The bartender was not terribly pleasant, but he was buried and there were some other patrons that were not being patient or kind. It is REALLY loud - as expected, concrete floors, wood tables and metal chairs, high ceilings and nothing to dampen the sound. All of that said - it's a great space. All the food we saw looked great and we Will definitely be back at some point.
