What a fun looking place outside & in. Looks like it's meant to be visited on your vacation at the shore. Heavy in the Mexican choices on the menu, everything we saw looked yummy but we decided to just have drinks. Great cocktails, friendly vibe, it was absolutely pouring outside but kinda made it more fun. Will definitely recommend read more

Brycen was excellent. Personable and I interested in our lives. We ask for him the last three visits! We will go back next Spring. read more

This place is awesome. Very cool vibes and Island Style feel to the whole lace. Connected to a syrf shop (best in at least New England for sure!). Staff was awesome, but our waitress Amy was SO nice!! She really knew her stuff, was very attentive, and did an excellent job. Highly Recommend this place to everyone! read more

It was my first time in Ogunquit and the bar tender Amy was so kind and welcoming I will definitely be back the next time I am in town!

We each enjoyed a Bowl Special and both were very good. Busy but attentive staff took good care of us.

We had dinner here tonight after many years of visiting Maine. This year our dinner at Hooks was incredible, and the Maine (haha get it) reason was our server Kenny. Kenny was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our party of 10 was very well taken care of. He made our whole night and we will most definitely be coming back to see Kenny next year! Also the food was very delicious and he made sure every order was exactly what we wanted. Thank you Kenny!! read more

Amy makes the best drinks ever. Favorite spot in ogunquit the atmosphere, food, vibes all 10/10

Happy fun place. Even though you're not overlooking the ocean the atmosphere is great. Food is yummy and the drinks are delicious. The pineapple drink is awesome. The wait and bar staff are friendly and seem to really love their job. Especially the one with the twin names Amy. read more

Came here on the last day of the season because everything was 50% off. It was a great experience. All the food was delicious, as were the drinks. We even ordered some drinks to go and cake! The food was also super delicious, but I do wish my tuna bowl had a bit more flavor. I got bored with it after a bit. However, everything else was amazing. Keep in mind that the entire restaurant is basically outside so it can get chilly depending on the night. They do have heaters though! Staff was amazing as well! I'll be back next season :) read more

Hannah is the best server!! We love her and we can't wait to see her again next year Warm service and seemed happy to help us!

We really enjoyed our food, Amy was amazing! Margs were tasty! It was a great spot, looking forward to going back!

Last stop on our tour de Maine. We stayed in Ogunquit our last night and after hitting the beach, we grabbed late night eats on the patio at Hooks. It was a busy Sunday night, the restaurant was pretty full, but we were seated right away. We had a hard time deciding, but didn't want anything too heavy. I opted for tacos. Our server said 2 was the sweet spot, so that's what I ordered. One fish and one shrimp. She gave us a pro-tip, order the guacamole side, as it was a very generous portion (and she convinced hubs to get the side of chips with his meal - well played). My tacos were underwhelming. I ordered them street taco style, and they were minimal at best. My BFF ordered the beef & shrimp, and I missed out on the picked onions & other fillings. Hubs ordered a salad bowl, and the portion was generous, very filling, he only ate half. The side of chips helped us devour our sides of guacamole. The guac was good, but could have used more kick and a bit of salt (which was not on the table, and we didn't bother asking for). We enjoyed our meal and the laid-back casual atmosphere. We'd visit again if ever in the area, and we do hope to come back, as we fell in love with Ogunquit. read more

Good, service, vibe all excellent. Had fish burrito and rice and beans. Also tacos with shrimp. All fresh and delicious. Nice fresh Lost Leaf lager. Also very good margarita. Service outstanding-- Hannah. read more

"We visited on a Sunday evening around 5:45 and were seated immediately. Our drinks were delicious, and the food was outstanding. My fiancé ordered the Tuna Poke Bowl and said it was one of the best he has ever had. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the manager stopped by our table for a lovely conversation, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The live music was an added bonus and created a wonderful atmosphere. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant!" read more

Lovely indoor-outdoor bar and grill, tons of seating in open air, covered patio area. Beautiful set up for lunch in a chill environment. Bar staff was extremely friendly, fun, and knowledgeable about the menu. Ask for Marcie, she's the best! Menu is a lovely selection of local fare and cooked to perfection. I ordered the Ahi tuna, pineapple salsa and guacamole. Tuna was beautifully blackened, lovely medium rare inside and packed with spice! The pineapple salsa was fresh, crispy, with bright flavors. The guac was chunky, delicious and could easily be eaten alone. Talk about a fantastic trio for lunch. Swing by, snag a chair at the bar and get ready for some delicious food. read more

Recently was in the Maine coastal area and ate at Hook's Chill & Grille which is very much up my alley... FRESH food and ingredients, very outdoors laid back Caribbean vibe. I was happy with the menu selections and grabbed myself a salmon bowl, while the person I was with grabbed a shrimp bowl! Very delicious and super fresh quality!! This is another place you might not stop if you didn't know it was there. It blends into the attached surf shop to its front so it's a hidden gem for sure!! They close this weekend for the season, so try them out if you're around until the 14th!! The coast and lakes region is closing... it's October!!! Our server was such a nice guy, very laid back but attentive!!! Definitely like this spot with a healthy approach to great tastes!! read more

Went again for our annual trip. Loved it as usual! Menu was a little different but we loved the changes. Vibe was great as always. Seated a table of us 6 people, in no time. We shopped next door until they texted me. Service was super as always. read more

Biggest heads up, servings are massive! I went with a buddy. We got a nacho appetizer. That would have filled both of us. Then we each got a meal, which both would have filled both of us. Drinks were great, rum bucket was awesome. Prices were a little expensive, but considering portion size and location, probably actually a steal. Workers were awesome. Food was awesome. Other customers were awesome. HIGHLY recommend. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Hooks! I've been here quite a few times with family. This is predominately an outdoor venue with the bar giving it a ceiling and half indoor. Hmm did I explain that correctly... I guess you just have to check it out. Some of the tables will accommodate larger group maybe 6 and then some smaller too. Certain days of week they have music too. DH and I ordered Build your own Trio $16 appetizer which is nacho chips and a choice of 3 cups of dips. We got roasted corn, salsa and guacamole. It was so good. Then I had Quesadilla with chicken, peppers, onions & cheese and it was grilled which made it very Yummy. $15 DH had Mojo Pork Sandwich pulled pork topped with slaw and pickled onion. Served on bun $12 2 Happy Hour Margarita's $5 each and Harpoon rec league beer $6 Next door to this restaurant (I think it's part of it) is a great clothing store has summer shirts, sandals summer clothing so before you leave check it out! read more

Great ambiance and service! The chips and queso are the best. This is a new favorite for us.

Great crowd at night. Sat outside and enjoyed drinks and conversations with locals and people on vacation as well! Great watering hole.

Have driven by this place so many times. Finally stopped in for a drink prior to a lobster pound dinner. Loved the vibe and the servers. Saw some food being served and everything looked great. Will definitely be back before the season ends for the full experience. A little slice of the tropics in coastal Maine where you don't have to break the bank to enjoy. read more

I ate at this restaurant on 14SEP2024 at approximately 12:00 noon. The restaurant looked interesting. It's more of outside dining on a rustic porch which can be enclosed during inclement weather. I ordered 2 soft shell ground beef tacos with ginger slaw and my friend ordered a ground beef burrito with rice and other fixings. The food was presentable, HOWEVER the ground beef lacked basic spice. I mean one of those packets of Ortega dry taco seasoning for ground beef from a supermarket would have made an immense improvement. If they did add any sort of seasoning to the ground beef it was negligible to my palate. The ginger slaw, where's the ginger! I couldn't taste a hint of ginger in the slaw. That was a major disappointment as I was anticipating a version of slaw I've never tasted. Would I frequent this restaurant again? Only if I could bring my own Ortega taco seasoning packet. This establishment is more of a boozer crowd sitting at the bar. Very few patrons sitting at the tables enjoying a lackluster meal. Major Disappointment! read more

We had a really good meal - excellent service, fun atmosphere, and great food. My wife had the tuna poke bowl, which she loved. The tuna was sliced extremely thin, and all the elements really worked together - a sample confirmed! My daughter had the salmon Cesar salad. I don't like cooked salmon (I WISH I did) but it looked delicious. I had the shrimp burrito bowl with pineapple salsa and ginger slaw. Really outstanding - well seasoned, and the sweetness of the pineapple played nicely with the slight bite of the slaw. Overall, well done - we would go again! read more

Stopped by Hooks to snag dinner and drinks last night - we were expecting a wait for a Saturday night and summertime. No problem at all, grabbed a beer at the bar (super friendly bartenders!) and waited no more then 20 minutes for a table. (The hostess told us closer to an hour, so pleasant surprise) Our waiter was pretty busy running in circles - but he was kind, patient when we asked questions and checked on us frequently! I snagged a taco salad with added chicken and it was delicious! Flavorful and loved the homemade Pico!! Do yourself a favor and stop by Hooks! It's a little tucked away, but the outdoor atmosphere is read more

Our waitress "Lucy" was a blessing. Helping recommend items to us. The drinks didn't disappoint. Food was outstanding. Street corn dip is a must have. The outside dining area is a fun place to chill and enjoy. Definitely a spot we will return to. Thank you all. read more

Our server was prompt and attentive through our entire dining experience. the bar was accommodating when asked about certain types of alcohol. The nachos were packed with flavor, not soggy, and there was plenty to go around. And while the seafood taco was a little runny, that didn't mean the flavor wasn't delicious! The street corn dip? Take my money. The blackened haddock sandwich? Melts in your mouth. Everything was so good we splurged for a round of desserts and I'm so glad we did. I'd go back for the bread pudding alone and would like to experience the live music. Until next time for sure!! read more

Great place and outdoor dining! Very Caribbean feeling! My fav was sitting on the outdoor deck! So pretty! Drinks are great! I had the pineapple giant? Can't remember haha but it was good!! I shared a veggie taco which was VERY good! Lots of flavor, well done, and omg I want that corn salsa everyday!!! Very tasty! Service was also very good! Someone had warned us before we went to watch out for service, but I had no problems!! :)) read more

One of our favorite restaurants in the area! The food is always so incredibly fresh, and the service is friendly. price is really decent, and you can get small plates if you only want a bite. In the open air makes this even more special. Highly recommend! read more

The food here was terrible, the waiter was new and it was obvious. The only saving grace was the manager was understanding and very nice. She asked us to try again but not sure we will be back. Update: received message from the business manager Thomas O whom said he remembered me. I never met this manager nor did I ever discuss anything with him that he notes in his response to me. read more

Eight of us came in for drinks and dinner, not one person was happy with the food quality, luke warm bowls, tasteless BBQ pork sandwiches. This was the second time we have tried the food, both times were awful. Stick to the drinks, served with a smile. read more

Food was great- we had street tacos (the special), lemon pepper haddock, and a taco salad and took leftover home. They were super busy so it was a little slow but the live music and ambiance made up for it. Bottomless chips aren't worth they money except as pico-transport deceive but the pico was great. read more

Not bad, but nothing special. Pretty basic food and not so great selection of drinks. Friendly crowd. Specials are ok.

Cute little tiki bar vibe with great drinks! Excellent service with a smile. I recommend the painkiller! If you are looking for some surf wear, they have a cute surf shop attached. read more

The food was delicious, the waiter was attentive and checked in on us frequently. The ambiance was wonderful and there was no crazy wait like we had encountered at places surrounding this one. The drinks were wonderful and not too pricey in comparison to other places! Definitely our favorite food place from our vacation and definitely will come back next time we're in Maine! read more

Great food and great vibe after a day on the beach, or any day! Fish tacos and awesome Pina colada. And happy hour live music!

Food here is incredible! We have been coming to Hooks for years and it never disappoints! The servers and staff are so kind and amazing at their jobs. The vibe is Cali/Baja which is a unique and fun theme in the quaint seaside town of Ogunquit. It is well worth the visit if you are staying in the area or just passing through. read more

Great food and music some nights. Checkout happy hour! Casual outdoor seating and some inside. Fun spot attached to a surf shop. read more

I had planned my sons bachelor party in Ogunquit with 11 guys. Food, Drinks, Yoga, Surfing and SUP was all on the agenda. Hooks was where we all met and made it our place for the weekend. The food, staff and vibe were all great. We also took advantage of the lessons and rentals at Liquid Dreams. The team at Hooks and Liquid dreams made if a perfect weekend for us. They went way beyond to make it a memorable event for all. I highly suggest you stop in. Tom D read more

Bottomless chips are a scam, Tostitos are better, and you have to pay for salsa and its the smallest amount possible. This is 100% NOT mexican food, just look at the menu everything is overpriced and no flavor. Taco meat made with 99 cent seasoning is better. DO NOT GET FISH TACOS! read more
