This is by far my favorite restaurant in Ogunquit. We went there lots of times and enjoyed it ever time. Our waitresses was spectacular. She was no caring and nice. I ordered the taco bowl (burrito bowl) and I loved it. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Love the atmosphere, super cute outdoor patio with plenty of sun and shade spots. The bar was busy on a Sunday afternoon but we didn't have to wait for a table. The service was friendly and efficient and our waitress seemed knowledgable on their limited menu. We ordered the taco salad with steak (12$) and the endless chips and salsa (4$). The taco said was more than a little disappointing, but the salsa (which is really mild pico de gallo) had a great flavor and we wished we had just stuck with that! We also ordered a bumbleberry (combo berry) and pineapple mojito and both were very delicious. I would highly recommend hooks for a snack and a drink, and maybe happy hour! read more

Went to Hooks restaurant yesterday. Very limited menu........not even French fries or a hamburger. The chicken and steak burrito's were very tasty. We order a roasted corn salsa for an appetizer and it was tasteless. Came in a small plastic container with no serving spoon or serving dishes. Most of it ended up on the table. They should have a better selection of seafood, "HOOKS" is the name of the restaurant! They only had a "catch of the day" sandwich which was Mahi Mahi and Talapia taco's. We are in New England in Maine..... where was the haddock or cod? $18.00 for a fish dinner was absurd. Hope someone from the management reads this and makes some changes. It could be a great place as it has plenty of outdoor seating and on a beautiful day it is quite nice to eat outside. Expand the menu......not everyone wants rice and beans, roasted corn or asian slaw for a side. Offer some kind of potato, New England fish & chips and a hamburger or hot dog for kids. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Great relaxing beach friendly place with great food and drinks! The homemade salsas and guacamole are to die for! My favorite is the fish taco, my boyfriend loved the fish of the day sandwich! Staff was excellent and service was great! Perfect place to go to relax to have a great dinner or enjoy happy hour! read more

We just saw this and we are so happy we did. Nice relaxed atmosphere sitting on the deck. It feels like you're in the Caribbean. The food was excellent. The service was fast and friendly. We had an app with 3 different salsas plus guacamole and chips. The chips were warm and crispy. For lunch we had a shrimp salad and a chicken burrito. Perfect. I highly recommend. read more

Great atmosphere...great music and they had longboard on draft. That about ends it though. Came with a party of 9 and 7 of us were quite underwhelmed with our meals...starting with the bland pico de Gallo and chips. Also, the service was sub par...had to ask for drink refills more than once despite the place not being busy. Too many great places to eat in Wells and Ogunquit to consider returning to this pricey failure. read more

Hooks is one of the best additions to Ogunquit in ages. The vibe and decor encapsulate summer completely and the outdoor bar is so fun. They have a watermelon cocktail and a cucumber cocktail that are both delicious. The ahi tuna and tacos are great. I will definitely be back. read more

Crowded with kids, including kids sitting at the bar. Had the coconut encrusted haddock, which was delicious but the beans and rice were stone cold. My friend ordered the broiled scallops, which were way too salty. The waitress never stopped by to ask how our food was. The atmosphere was like a kids playground. An awful experience all around. read more

Ugh - fancy looking Applebee's. Gross food. To keep people coming in they have live music AND a magician... Stop here for drinks only!

Horrible service. It took almost an hour to receive our drinks after being seated. The food was okay, but none of that really matters when you are dealing with incompetent servers. read more

Had a great meal here last night. Great service (thanks, Jill!). The place was busy at 5:30pm, but, isn't that a good sign? It's an outdoor patio with an outdoor grill, so if you don't mind a fly or mosquito or the sun shining on you, you'll be ok. Lots of very fair priced menu options. Clean and kid friendly. Within 5 mins of each other, a party of 8 and a party of 15 walked up and actually expected to be immediately seated, so if you're a big group you may want to call and give a head's up instead of throwing a tantrum. read more

Great pub atmosphere, in & outside. Drinks great guacamole great and good fish sandwich. We will be going back.

Very busy rainy night. Wait was an hour and we waited that hour. The food and service was great not really any complaints except for the creepy Croatian guy doing magic tricks at every table. Not into it and felt forced into breaking good conversation with friends we hadn't seen in a long time. read more

Rip off! I Ordered the chicken skewer and got less than an ounce of chicken on one little skewer for eight dollars. If your hungry don't go!

This place is the spot!!! We came in around 8:00 on a Thursday night very hungry, and joked to the bartenders we were starving. After ordering our food and getting our drinks, the bartenders kept us happy by giving us a small portion of a smoothie that was left over from the blender. Then they even brought over chips and salsa on the house! The drinks were amazing and food was right up there too!!! Such a chill spot, and a great atmosphere with live music on some nights; an all around good vibe! #springfieldcollegealum read more

Fun atmosphere fun but service way too slow. Always waiting to order a drink and after 50min from ordering food, our fish tacos finally arrived but cold. Didn't send back cause we were too hungry to wait so we ate them cold. More reasonable service would have made a difference. read more

I don't know why there are so many average and/or negative reviews about this place. I'm a foodie & I'm usually disappointed with restaurants in a tourist area more often than not, however, Hooks won me over with their outstanding wait staff, fresh seafood (coconut haddock) and excellent drinks. Yes there is a wait time for receiving your food, and yes the food could be a bit hotter, however, considering how busy they they are, they do a great job! To folks who haven't been there, bypass the so-so reviews and give it a try, I can guarantee you will enjoy it, just make sure you have time to hang out and relax. And definitely order their rum punch, the best drink around. read more

I checked it out at happy hour. I loved the atmosphere not busy but it looked great. I was told there was music most nights and thought I would come back for some same night. I had a maine beer and two others. The price was more than twice what I would have paid at one of the local name places in the area. I said something to the bartender who seemed to be an owner of some kind$2.00 domestics. I was so disappointed. I can't go back to this place now. I would love to but prices for beer was like Fenway Park. no thanks, I wont go back. read more

Food took forever to come out and when it came to the table, it was cold. Cold fish burritos are not very tasty. The restaurant itself has a nice vibe. Wish the food had been better. read more

Great place try happy hour 4 drafts 1/2 price tacos the bartenders are great wonderful atmosphere

Had the most enjoyable meal there... great atmosphere. Order the nachos for the table if you're hungry, it's truly huge!! And if you're a sushi fan, try the ahi tuna skewers....and as an added bonus- there was a pop up magician to entertain both adults and children when busy-will be back for sure! read more

It's so simple it hurts. I won't have a margarita anywhere else because it does not give me heartburn, super fresh. Happy hour is the best hours (4-6). Vibe is extremely chill. Perfect pina colada is just as advertised. Take a walk next store to the surf shop. Even if you are not a surfer...very high quality merchandise. You won't be disappointed if you stop here. An island vibe on the ocean in Wells Maine..can't go wrong. read more

My wife and 14 year old daughter had dinner at Hooks last night. I had the lobster tacos. They were fresh and really tasty and I felt an excellent value. My wife had the Fish (Mahi Mahi) Pinchos skewers. Again cooked perfectly and tasty. The corn salsa could use a little more flavor but was very fresh and healthy tasting. I don't agree with the previous poster that a burger and fries needs to be on the menu. It would be out of place with the theme of the restaurant. The atmosphere is awesome and the staff and owner are friendly. If you want a have a healthy, clean, fun meal in a great setting.. Try Hooks. We can't wait to go back. read more

We chose this eating establishment based on the recommendation of a local inhabitant and we weren't disappointed. The coconut haddock was cooked to perfection and the accompaning grilled vegetables were cooked just right. The rice and beans were perfectly flavored with cilantro (I'm going to try that at home). Our waitress, Cassie, was professional and attentive and immediately made us feel welcome. It's a fine art to be attentive to customers yet not intrusive and she has mastered her craft perfectly. The wine offerings were also very good. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We really liked coming here, & usually come & pay full price. Its always super ridiculously crowded & hot. Last night we came early for happy hour. We ordered tacos & margaritas which were $4.00 between 4-6. We asked waitress " can you make those skinny?" & she said sure. When bill came it was $77.00 for 4 of us "happy hour" meals & drinks! Turns out "skinny" margaritas were $10 each (tiny too), but we weren't informed that. Waitress seemed not care the least so we asked to see-manager. A girl that looked like a teenager, maybe early 20's came out & said basically "well, thats the price." Well, ok, but inform people that when ordering! Manager also said "well, tacos were good & good price, right?" Lol!!! Well....i guess... i got veggie tacos were basically lettuce & a wrap, so...thanks "manager" for being of zero help. I also hate magicians, just me personally, but no thanks, turn off for me. Not good experience. read more

We had an excellent lunch. Deliciously different than the usual. Cool atmosphere, friendly staff and great prices.

The server was amateur though she meant well. The food quality was very poor. For example the rice was way dried up and the vegetables were soggy.The overpriced fish was dry. Save your dollars for a better place read more

They charged us $40 for margaritas for happy hour just because we got skinny margaritas. Nobody told us ahead of time that they would be more just because they have less sugar. Manager came over & didn't adjust the bill at all. read more

We stumbled on this restaurant while shopping at the surf shop next door and I'm so glad we did!!! The food was so tasty, the drinks were delicious and our waitress was the sweetest! Did I mention the live music?? The musician was so talented! He played a lot of music that I absolutely loved. We can't wait to go back! read more

Great place to grab a drink, some super fresh food and just chill. Menu is limited but has something for everyone. Ingredients are all fresh and on the lighter side which was perfect for a hot day. Good beer selection, good mojitos. Very cool, relaxed, island vibe. You would think you were hanging beach side in the carribean. read more

The best Mojito I've ever had! Shrimp and avocado salad was great! A little crowded during happy hour but that's to be expected. Pretty warm inside thankfully they added a fan. You must have the Mojito! read more

Good for beers and drinks , cool atmosphere for the games, nice new big screen, don't get the fish tacos , pulled pork quesadillas were good. The price for beers were good but for the fish tacos you would expect way more fish for the price. read more

Good food. Good Drinks. Limited Menu, but great outdoor atmosphere. Plus right next to the surf shop.

Fish Tacos were good; Ahi tuna waaaayyyy overcooked. BBQ sandwich reheated so many times it was mush. Server didn't care, just picked up the uneaten food "looks like this is done" with 2 bites out of it. Had to break up the chat between the help to pay my bill. Paid less in Downtown Boston for better food & much better service. Skip it. read more

Great atmosphere on the decks with live music and warm sea breeze. Very laid back and relaxed. A nice change from the many fried seafood restaurants in the area. Great fish tacos. Kids meals were reasonable priced and portioned. Fish burrito was delicious and not enormous. Grilled pineapple and coconut ice cream dessert was outstanding! read more

Hooks is great! Reasonable prices get you fresh, great food and the fish burrito is pretty epic. They have an excellent selection of "beach beers" and make a mean drink as well. If there is one thing you can hold against the restaurant it is the servers but its usually because the place is slammed. You can alway check out the surf shop while you are waiting for your table if it is one of those nights. Recommend highly for lunch or casual dinner. read more

Amazing drinks- Fast service -Extremely nice staff - Will happily return on our next trip to Maine. read more

Love the atmosphere and food was incredible. 3rd time already this year. Had the chicken and fish taco this time the best in the area. The lobster was perfection! The entire experience is worth a visit. read more

I think this spot is refreshing- it's a laid back patio bar and doesn't try to be anything more. The staff were so fun- quick, super nice and responsive to customers. The place was slammed while we were there- 3 deep at the bar at one point and the bartenders handled it with an easy smile. Our drinks were delicious and my fish tacos/rice and beans were simple, made with fresh ingredients, and delicious. My husband had chicken skewers and slaw- again just simple straight forward fresh food. Bill was lower than expected, we had a seriously enjoyable time and will definitely go back. read more

Hooks offers a nice alternative to the sometimes stuffy atmosphere of OGT. Simple menu but good food and cheap prices on drinks and food alike! Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is fun! Definitely one of my favorite places to go for a casual night out! read more
