This place offers quick and easy meals at an economical cost. Good food, great customer service.

This is a neighborhood spot that's good for when you don't feel like cooking. The chicken wings are small but tasty but the fish is good.

Those double cheeseburgers and fries are tasty. As for fish did they have walleye at one time?

The other day, I was on my way to grab some Chinese and I spotted this place. I'm a big fan of these restaurants where everything is deep fried and it all kinda tastes the same, i.e. delicious. Certain parts of St. Louis are lousy with them. I drive past three to five of them on the way home from my job in a diverse, vibrant community. This one is closest to where I live, so if the food wasn't completely terrible that would be perfect for me, I figured. I'm always on the lookout for places that sell a tripe sandwich. I grew up on tripe sandwiches from Lewis Snack Shop on Delmar, right on the dividing line between the part of the city that eats tripe sandwiches and the part of the city that eats brain sandwiches. It's why I turned out so well. The legendary Miami Grill, maybe a mile down the road, doesn't carry them. A few times now, I've seen people come in there looking for them only to leave disappointed. This place, meanwhile, has a sign on the front window advertising a tripe sandwich special. Oddly enough, the sign seems purposely designed to match the signs on the Korean beauty supply place next door. I didn't see any Koreans up front or in the back. Like Bossip, I'm thinking this place is owned by Arabs. Sidebar: This used to be a hardware store. Back during the crack era, it was patrolled by a dog roughly the size of a grizzly bear. It wouldn't bother you, but if you so much as thought about stealing I'm sure it would quite literally tear you to pieces. You'd never be heard from again, packed in a sealed oil drum in the basement. So i went with the tripe sandwich. For $5.99 it comes with fries and a can of soda. They're very adamant about ordering you to select a kind of soda that comes in a can, from a seemingly endless selection of bizarre, artificial flavors (like at a Chinese restaurant) and also Pepsi and Diet Pepsi. The kind that comes in a bottle must be prohibitively expensive. A tripe sandwich is more or less the same concept as a St. Paul, except instead of egg foo young it's a cow's stomach. (My bad if you're not from the STL and hence have no idea what I'm talking about.) It's deep fried (natch) and served on white bread with mustard, pickles and raw onions, and it comes with hot sauce you can put on it if you want to. I find the latter unnecessary, but I also find that nothing was ever ruined by hot sauce. You can order it soft, medium or hard. Hard means they deep fry it to within an inch of its life, like the wings at the aforementioned Miami Grill. Medium still has a bit of chew to it, which is the whole point of eating a tripe sandwich. I'd even consider ordering it soft, but my fear is that they'd give you something that's still raw on the inside, like at the '80s-era London and Sons. The bread on my sandwich seemed like it may have been sitting out for a minute, or maybe it was lightly toasted. Whatever was going on there, I could have done without it. Sandwiches on white bread, especially when there's mustard on them, tend to turn into goo and stick to the roof of your mouth, but as far as I'm concerned that's part of the experience. The meat, on the other hand, was perfect (nullus), perhaps needless to say, being deep fried and all. It was nice and crispy on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside, like some ungodly and yet delicious meat bubblegum. If there's a problem with it, it's that you wish it was little bit bigger. It's not the most expensive thing in the world, but I'm not about to order two, because I don't need two orders of fries and two cans of soda. I can easily drink two cans of soda, but what if I want to have beer with my dinner? This place is right next to the rare convenience store in the county where you can cop a 40. If only they did some sort of cross-promotion with Hook: tripe sandwich, fries and a 40. I'd be willing to spend as much as $8. read more

Their deep fried mushrooms are very good. I get them here just about every time I stop in. The facility is clean and the staff is friendly. They have an awesome selection on their menu and very good deals if you are needing to buy in bulk. I still need to try some of the desserts behind the glass case but they look very good for the price. read more

I'm a police officer for st.louis county and i eat here all the time.great food ,great people

First visit was today after our parking lot at work was attacked with flyers. Tried calling in order but kept getting voice mail. Finally got thru and it was almost impossible to understand the voice on other end. I asked 3 times if nachos came with jalapenos, and from what I heard was "no, just beef, cheese and lettuce" well they do and my coworker had to sift thru and pick them off. Hated they had to be wasted. Ordered 3 burgers, and only one was correct. Asked for no onions as coworker is allergic, and yup onions. When I arrived I asked for two sides of cheese for fries, paid for them, and didn't receive. I ordered shrimp and catfish nuggets, as this is what you come for. It is alot of food for good price. Food was good, but I prefer cornmeal breading on my catfish. This was more beer battered. But still good. I did receive some side sauce that was red. Upon looking at the sauce I thought it was meat sauce. But when I picked it up it was cold. And then I smelt it OMG! I have never in my life smelled anything like this. I had a few co-workers come over and smell it too see if they knew what it was, and they all said the same thing GROSS! They said it was rotten tomatoes. It looked like meat sauce and salsa combined. I still have no idea what it was. Tasted unlike anything I've ever tasted. It was absolutely disgusting. I did ask my co-workers what they thought of the hamburgers that they received , and they all said it was just OK. Another said cheese sticks were good... But that's hard to mess up. You just toss in fryer. May attempt to go back and try their wings, but will triple check order before I leave. Employees were nice, but need to speak and understand English better. read more

Conveniently located with some of the best catfish in the area. Chicken is pretty good too and the prices are reasonable. Didn't care for the tripe because it was too tough, yet not crispy enough. read more

This was my second time getting chicken from them and I can honestly say I love, love, love this place. I finally have a good chicken place close to my house and the food and service was awesome. It was my girls first time eating the whole chicken wings and they just loved it. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are really big and I like that, I can feed my family off of one meal. read more

The food is very tasteful along with the time it takes to prepare the food very timely. I usually come in the evenings a certain young woman who normally takes my order is very professional and polite she greets with a smile and she is very knowledgeable about the menu. I would recommend to anyone. read more

WARNING. IN 2019 HOOK SOLD ME OLD CHICKEN THAT HAD BEEN SITTING OUT! DON'T BUY FROM HOOK FISH AND CHICKEN AT HANLEY AND PAGE. This happened before and I mentioned it to them. The next time I came in I asked if they would serve me fresh chicken and they acted like they didn't hear me even though they did. TODAY THEY SOLD ME CHICKEN SO BLACK AND OLD IT HAD TO BE SITTING OUT FOR 2 DAYS. Of course, when I brought it back the guy didn't apologize which means this is normal and it shows the lack of respect they have for the community. read more

Great food! The chicken tenders are large and fried to perfection. The gyros are a nice size and seasoned very well. Absolutely delicious. They also give an ample amount of fries with the orders. read more

While sitting in the U City YMCA parking lot in my car, I was approached by a young man passing out flyers for HOOK FISH CHICKEN & GRILL. I looked over the menu, not thinking much about ever visiting the restaurant, imagining what it must be like judging by the artwork on the menu. Months and months later, on a Sunday evening, tired and hungry, I found the menu tucked neatly away in my car. I decided to try the jumbo fried shrimp and French fries. I arrived two minutes till closing. Yes, the floor was freshly mopped, all the restaurant cookware was broken down and cleaned, smelling like bleach. YET the staff was super kind and took my order. I felt terrible arriving so late, so I ordered a large jumbo shrimp. The young lady was nice and the manager was very kind as well and I was the last customer. I drove home and when I settled in I took a bite of the French fries. OMGosh, it was hot, crispy and pretty much the best fries I've had in a long time. Then I took a bite of the fried shrimp. LORD, SAVE MY SOUL!!!! DID I DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN?!!! IT WAS THE BEST DARNED SHRIMP I EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!! Plus, there was so much food, it took me four days to finish the meal because it was PLENTIFUL. This evening I decided to try the gyro sandwich. I was very hungry, not having anything to eat all day. This time I made sure I didn't arrive two minutes till closing. The young lady remembered me. She greeted me with a huge beautiful smile and a sweet "hello". I asked her the size of the sandwich and she described it to me. I figured it was large enough to satisfy my hunger but not last me for four days. I took it home and gobbled down the French fries. YUM-MY! Then, I took a bite into the gyro sandwich! GEEZ LOUISE! CAN THIS RESTAURANT DO NO WRONG? IT WAS TRE' DELICIOUS! There was a strong green taste which was the greenery, not sure what sort it was, but it packed a good strong taste for a tiny leaf. LOVED IT! It made the sandwich FRESH, FRESH, FRESH and not a whole lot of Tiziki (SP) sauce (I think sour cream with cucumbers and spices?), which was great for me, tons of yummy spicy lamb meat (gyro is the only kind of lamb meat I will consume), a little tomato and a little onion. It was MAGNIFICENT!! Certainly, I AM RETURNING! I would like to try the crispy chicken sandwich, the pizza puffs (not sure what those entail, pretzel crusted pizza?) and the salads (I need to encorporate a TON more greenery into my diet, no joking). I really believe this is a restaurant I am going to patronize for a very long time, if not forever as long as the staff is as nice as they are currently. NEVER EVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I EVER GONE TWICE TO A RESTAURANT AND HAVE GOTTEN TWO DIFFERENT MEALS THAT WERE EQUALLY TERRIFIC IN EVERY ASPECT AND VERY DIFFERENT IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE! NEVER! Plus, there is no skimping on the amount of meat (ample amount of protein), tons of food and the price is very very AFFORDABLE. The staff is incredibly wonderful, they treat you kindly every time and always, always, always with respect and with a smile and the restaurant is so clean and they follow the guidelines of what the FDA requires by breaking down equipment every evening, wearing hairnets for long hair and hats for short hair when near the cooking area, plus gloves and cleaning everything so it is SPOTLESS, not a sticky spot in the place or a crumb on the chair or table top. Also, the young lady at the register always packs utensils, napkins and any condiments that are appropriate for the meal and she knows how to wrap the container and bag so perfectly. The customer never has to ask for anything, everything is PERFECT. I can't say enough great things about HOOK FISH CHICKEN & GRILL, except GO THERE AND TRY IT, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! I know I'M "HOOKED" FOR LIFE! LOL! Just save room for me, PLEASE ;-). read more
