Classic and satisfying. I had the fish sandwich and chips. Tasty and well-cooked (sauce has some flavor to it) and the chowder was good (no bacon in chowder which is a great thing for me). I arrived near to opening and afterwards a large group came in, the server was nice and took my order but I notice that the larger group who ordered after me got their main meal before me. Feels like a popular spot. Good fish n chips place in Galway.

Crab dip
Leah T.

One of my favorite stops in Galway!!!! I went for my NYE dinner on vacation and i am SO happy I did. Probably the highlight of my trip. The waitress was an absolute gem and so sweet. The food was TOOOOO GOOD!!!! I legit was going out after and was BURSTING bc I couldn't let a beautiful crumb go to waste! The inside was very nicely decorated, cozy and chic!

Prawn Greek salad

It was tough to get a reservation, just like anywhere in Galway, but we were seated within 10 minutes of our booked table. Staff was efficient and friendly, but took quite a while to come and take our food order. There aren't many options for non-fried or non-creamy dishes, but we enjoyed the prawn feta salad and the seafood soup with a clear broth. They have a decent wine list, although were out of a couple of our top picks. Not a fast meal, but decent and tasty.

Seafood pasta in red sauce

Great find and a great Italian restaurant in the middle of mostly pubs in Galway. The place is bright and clean. You need to book a reservation in advance because this place is always packed. The foods were excellent especially the sauces and fresh seafood. They were able to accommodate my lactose intolerant with a nice red sauce. Our server was very nice and proud of its elevated Italian offerings in Galway. We are definitely go here again the next time we are in Galway.

Was recommended to try by a local and it was a delight. Seafood is fresh and affordable. Comfortable design with a nautical theme. Easy to walk to but away from the crowds of the Spanish quarters. Service was attentive but not over bearing.

Highly recommend the fish burger!
Jazzy D.

This was some of the best fish I've had to date! The food was very fresh and flavors worked wonderfully together. The service was pretty fast as we were one of the few people in the restaurant. I loved the nautical decor is was very aligned with the area. I can't wait to visit again!

Seafood was delicious. The pan seared octopus starter had great flavor and is great for two. The half dozen oysters were fresh and not too fishy at all - one of the better ones I've had so far. Fish and chips weren't too heavy and flavor was nice. Has a few bites of the Seafood Linguine and that was seriously amazing - the sauce was perfect and lots of seafood to pick from. We went at 6:15pm on a rainy Friday evening and were able to sit immediately. It started filling out later in the evening and their take-out seemed like a popular option too.

Risotto
Phoutt H.

There was already a full restaurant and a few parties on the wait list when my husband and I arrived. It took a while before we weren't able to flag staff down to add our name on the waiting list. Once we added our names, we went down the street to have a couple of beers at a nearby bar. The restaurant is small, so the only place to wait is outside. We were seated after returning, which was about 45 minutes later. After being seated, the service was attentive and quick. We ordered three starters, which were all delicious. The butter kissed octopus tentacle portion is probably more fir one, but 2 people could share a couple of pieces each. The raw oysters were Pacific, which confused me a little sinceIrelandis on the Atlantic side. They were fresh and delicious. Food in Ireland has been on the blander side but not at Hooked. The fisherman Stew was full of seafood and flavor, and so was the risotto. I recommend it if you are looking for fresh, flavorful food.

Gluten free cider, gluten free chowder & toast
Sarah S.

Was on the hunt for the best gluten free fish & chips in Ireland and Hooked is top of the list. Was a bit off the beaten path but gluten free chowder & fish was delicious & staff was great. A bit off the beaten path but worth the walk. My travel partner also said this was their favorite fish & chips of the trip (they are not gluten free).

Tasty ale
Kelli T.

Quaint place with very affordable prices, fresh seafood and excellent service. Our server was very attentive and friendly. A few menu items are listed separately since the fish of the day changes. The fish (halibut) and chips were delicious; so crispy! Galway Bay oysters were a bit fishy tasting but Tabasco sauce and lemon helped. Limited seating so get there early or be ready for a wait.

Risotto + Truffle oil and Parmesan chips
Michael B.

A lovely lunch experience. I wanted seafood and this truly delivered. I went in with high expectations -- got the risotto and truffle oil chips -- and those expectations were met. Friendly staff and moderate prices resulted in a pleasant time. Would absolutely recommend this place and would return. Only thing is nothing on the drink menu really jumped out at me, but that's alright, there's plenty of pubs in Galway for that.

Mushy peas

Just a lovely evening. Small, so get their early. Very fresh, nicely cooked (or raw) seafood. Not fancy, but brings out the flavors nicely.
