Crispy fried seafood options in the heart of Uptown. Even better, they are served in a low-brow setting with a walk-up order counter! Stand in line to order great food from the simple menu over the counter, and don't forget to try one of the homemade desserts! Serve yourself soft-drinks and tea, or beer on tap (not a full bar). AFTER ordering, find an open tabletop to sit and eat - and expect to share a table with strangers during busy hours. But hey; that's part of the fun! Seafood Gumbo is spicy but robust. My wife & I split the 4 Jumbo Fried Shrimp and 2 Catfish Filet platter, and it was excellent! Served with fries, we barely had room for dessert. Luckily, we saved just enough room for the Key Lime Pie (fantastic)! Other diners praised the Skewers and Clams, and the Clam Chowder looked good enough to try on my next visit! Highly recommended for blue-collar diners (like me)! read more

It was a bit crowded when I came in, but the line was fast enough to order. I ordered a Shrimp Po Boy and it came out surprisingly quick for the dinner rush with extra hushpuppies. The tartar sauce and ketchup pumps were clean and organized for the lemons. The ketchup tasted amazing making a great taste with the fries. The bathroom could've been better since there was no soap or paper towels in the bathroom. read more

Overall, ok. Shrimp and oysters well prepared. Not a fan of their hush puppies. Actually didn't like them at all. French fries too fat, undercooked and mealy. read more

Had fried shrimp basket. Just ok. Two stars because cocktail sauce, first you can't make your own with horseradish and secondly their cocktail sauce little to none horseradish in it. Go AwhShucks! Great make your own cocktail sauce! read more

This is a oldie but a goodie. Been coming here for years long b4 yelp. I think it just keeps gettin better & better. Hubby & I stopped by recently & everything we ordered was outstanding. Even better than I remember. Hubby & I ate everything! We were so stuffed we even skipped dinner later LOL I have always been a YUGE fan of Cajun seafood, as I was born in Louisiana & this place has a really good fish/shrimp/oyster po'boy. The catfish/shrimp combo & the oyster are my faves. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the Cole slaw they make here. It's the only place I have ever found that makes it the way I do with pineapple in it. That's my favorite way YUM! Get it! :)... If you like grilled fish they have really good grilled fish here, you can see them making the food on a open grill & it's one of their most popular dishes. You can't even get in this place on Friday's it's so packed. You might want to avoid Fish Fridays, there is limited parking & it's a pretty small place, if you can even get a table inside or out. Also, their side of Red beans & rice is always great if you kick them up with some hot sauce (on the tables) & the French fries are YUM! Make sure you ask them to fry them up crispy, they are fantastic. This last visit, our fries came out colder than I like & they had no problem frying up a whole new batch for us. GREAT SERVICE. Highly recommend. read more

This place is okay. I ordered the 3 shrimp with 1 filet combo and substituted a salad for the fries. The salad was not that fresh or appealing. The fish and shrimp were not greasy, which is nice, however they could have used more flavor. I ordered takeout online, so when I arrived I just walked up to the window. Parking is a little tight if you enter from McKinney, but there is another lot off of Lemmon too. It looks like a cute fish shack. read more

Stopped by this place because velvet tacos was having a gas leak.. So I ordered the pound of boiled shrimp.... it was very dry to say the least. I had to add the Cajun season that comes on it for more flavor and still didn't help. The butter I asked for helped a little after adding the seasoning there but still not much help. My friend got the catfish fillet and he said they were horrible. Everything is poorly seasoned. The young lady who takes the order is so sweet which is why it got 2 stars but based off food alone, a 1. The boil is not a boil at all. The one potato and corn you get aren't seasoned at all. read more

Hook Line & Sinker - 1 lb Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Hook line and sinker what can I say about it. What I can say is the food was not that great. The atmosphere is nice but the food was not, the only thing that tastes good were the french fries. The fish was very thin, I expected you know, thick cut pieces of fish it was very very thin you can get better fish at Captain D's or that other fish place long John silver's. I really wanted fish line and sinker to be an awesome restaurant to have fish at. I have been looking at this place for literally years. I was very disappointed in the food which is sad. read more

The fried pickles and tartar sauce is amazing. The catfish wasn't seasoned but the customer service is a 10/10!

An uptown Dallas staple. Just straight up good fried seafood. Can't ever go wrong with an order here.

The crawfish had no flavor we had to add our own seasoning,the catfish was good, the shrimp was good the lemonade was a 10/10.

I have passed this place 100 times and always have wondered how it was. Well unfortunately it was not what I expected. I was so excited to eat crawfish for the first time this year and didn't know what to expect but it was extremely overcooked to where it was gross. It was so mushy and soggy and the tails literally fell apart as you tried to crack them open. Maybe the rest of their food is good but do not come for the crawfish. read more

One of my favorite spots in Dallas. Not sure how much of it is nostalgia from younger days when I frequented, but the shrimp cocktail, gumbo, and fried seafood is always solid and well-executed. The decor is a little cheesy in the best way. The prices are good. Never had a bad meal here. read more

I visited twice and ordered the burger with grilled jalapeños, oysters, and salmon with white rice and vegetables. Overall, the burger was decent. The vegetables were well-seasoned, but the rice was bland, and the salmon lacked significant flavor. The gumbo was underwhelming, and the stuffed jalapeños were not worth ordering. However, the service was good. I'd consider returning to try the catfish since many people ordered it, but the oysters were terrible--they tasted like dirty lake water. read more

Hook Line & Sinker - 12 Fried Oyster Basket - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We have been here numerous times however on this visit my nephew was visiting and wanted some seafood so I brought him here. I usually order kids meals for him as he's not a big eater however when he saw that only 2 shrimp comes in a kids meal, he told me that wouldn't be enough so I ordered him a basket & I ordered a pound of crab. When the food came out, we dug in however my nephew kept eyeballing my crab so I kindly offered him a leg, which was a mistake because he then wanted more & more!!! Everything tasted great, however as I said, this isn't my first time here, I've brought many friends here and they have yet to disappoint. read more

Do you want to grab a quick taste of the Gulf Shores while in Dallas? This is the place. The fryers are going and the oysters are shucked. The sign outside says it all oysters, catfish, shrimp and chowder. Fresh squeezed lemonade, beer and wine. Enjoyable, and quick. A true gem in a busy city. . read more

Hook Line & Sinker - 4 Jumbo Shrimp/ 2 Fillets Combo - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Every thing was perfect for a holiday treat, the fish is always crispy and hot French fries plenty full and tartare sauce delicious

Pros: Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and prompt service (only reason for the second star). Hush puppies above average. Cons: Terrible portion sizes. All batter, no meat. Thin cuts of both shrimp and catfish, nothing to bite into or taste other than the batter or dip. Tiny hush puppies. Overpriced by about 50% for the amount of actual food you get. NO SEASONING AT ALL. I can't honesty speak to the quality of the fish and shrimp because the simply wasn't enough to taste compared to the amount of batter. I will not be coming back. I will not be recommending to friends. In fact, I will make sure they know there are better options. Well, I can't believe this, but I am actually off to Aw Shucks to get more catfish because I am still hungry and still want catfish. read more

Got the salmon plate for lunch on a Tuesday. Not bad at all. Small seating capacity indoors. There is outdoor seating but for February, I shall sit inside. Menu selection is plentiful. Been to some similar places with only half of what this place offers. Food was good and price was not a shocker, with a drink and tip, $21. I have been here before but it was 12 yrs ago. I will be back more often, now that I office so close. FYI, don't go at lunch hour, 12-1...will be very busy. Love the place. read more

This is the last time I will support this business. I did another online order and requested lightly blackened. When my other half brought it home it was completely red. I had to drive back up to the restaurant and explained to the lady that that was not lightly blackened. She said regardless, the blackened would be spicy. Okay then make it with just salt and pepper. My issues it that as I am waiting for them to remake it I can clearly see the employees are talking about me and my order. Regardless how you feel, anyone one that is customer facing should not talk about the customer. If you want to do that, do it behind closed doors. If you did not have customer, you would not have employment. Owners/manager need to explain to the employees it is not respectful to mock or talk about a customer. So disheartening. read more

Here i am. So appalled and disappointed that I'm actually writing a review, if you check out my reviews, bad reviews are rare from me but anyhoo.. I saw the sign, pulled into the lot and ordered togo.. I'm offended, as a chef, with my degree I feel bamboozled; the food looked good, smelled good and tasted as air. Tasted like ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Like money was wasted on AIR!!!! Crispy, air! I should've known by observing the consumers but.. I'm just so mad and I want my money back so I'm hoping this review saves someone else's money. OH!! AND THERE WERE GIANT ANTS ALL OVER THE PLACE. Tables, condiment bar, walls.. read more

Great place to meet up with friends. Had some oysters, fired fish fillets, spring cocktail and a few beers with family out on the porch. Fast service and friendly people! Great location too, easy in and out! Just watch out if you're walking in the porch. We watched a few people trip who didn't see the sign. read more

Some of the best seafood in Dallas. It's one of the longest running places and they always have good specials. The service is fast and they give you a good experience. Cafeteria style environment, but a great place to go with friends or even by yourself. read more

I was recently in town for work and went here for dinner. The atmosphere is so neat with a bunch of fishing decor. There is a cool patio area that had heaters too since it was cold outside. I had the side salad with the house dressing. The dressing was some kind of creamy lemon vinegar which was good. For my entree I had the shrimp skewers. There were peppers, onions, and tomatoes on the skewers as well. The grilled flavor was FANTASTIC and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. Definitely would go back to this awesome, quaint restaurant. read more

The fried catfish is NOT catfish. Its talapia. If I wanted fried talania, I would have ordered it.

Great restaurant, great location. But I can only give the food 3.5 stars. I got the shrimp boil, my usual. Some of the shrimp fell apart as I tried to peel it. The corn and potato were dry enough to say something to my friends. But the spicy level was right on! Plenty of food for the price, and easily filled me up. My friends enjoyed their usual, fish combo and the Mexican cocktail. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely give them another chance. read more

Employees were nice and ambiance was nice. Each persons food came out at vastly different times. The fried fish and hush puppies were inedible. Not a speck of seasoning. Fries were okay. read more

Service was good and the beer glasses are chilled. I had the jumbo shrimp and some fried oysters. I haven't had fried oysters before so can't comment on them, but the shrimp were smaller than I was expecting for "jumbo" and tasted like bad breading and nothing else. The fries were average and the hushpuppies were bland and dense. Unfortunately, I can'r recommend stopping by here for food when so many other great places are in the area and cost less. read more

This place was okay. The fish needed a lot more seasoning. I ate all of my meal but only because I was hungry. They need to adjust their breading to make it have a lot more flavor. Simply put, this meal was bland. read more

My girlfriend and I were craving some simple Oysters and fried catfish. We're from Chicago and oysters are great but you can't really find good fried seafood. I don't think I've EVER had worse seafood in my entire life, and that includes airports. They make Long John Silvers look like a Michelin star restaurant. We got a mix of things: Gumbo: ZERO taste, full of broccoli and tiny baby shrimp that were hard as rocks Mexican Cocktail: overcooked tiny shrimp in a tomato juice with cilantro. Garbage. Oysters: she ate one and I had to stop after two, I ended up getting sharp stomach pains and I'm positive it was from these oysters. Fried shrimp and Catfish filet: the shrimp was the only thing with flavor. The catfish wasn't bad but I don't think it was seasoned whatsoever before being breaded. Staff is clueless, when I asked about the Mexican cocktail they just said "it's like....a glass w shrimp and sauce" oh ok thanks, fantastic explanation. I really hope nobody eats here until someone overhauls 80% of the menu. I would give this place zero stars if I could read more

I got the fried catfish filet it was fried well but it wasnt well seasoned. The good: price, French fries, red beans, key lime pie (probably the best ive ever had) The bad: i love cole slaw but the cole slaw here was not good at all and I would absolutely not recommend it. Its very sweet and my tongue was shocked by the overall flavor. The hush puppies are like fish sticks(in shape) so i think it kinda takes away from the overall flavor but werent bad. I would try it again cus I did like a few things but it could be better. read more
