    I will not be patronizing this establishment again. Ordered a pound of lightly breaded shrimp. The shrimps were so small I thought they were popcorn. Shame Shame Shame on Lawrence.

    I bought several items that were split between three people. I should have taken pics of everything. My share of scallops was left in the bag and I had not seen them until I poured them out. For starters, why would you serve mix match scallops?? This was very sketchy. I also had buffalo wing zings, lightly breaded shrimp, perch (I didn't care for it being in little strips) and hush puppies. Everything was slightly over-cooked, except three scallops (one is not pictured). I "might" give them another chance since we all deserve an opportunity to make things right and it wasn't a horribly bad encounter. I was excited to hear this location in Olympia Fields had opened so I wouldn't have to keep going to 22nd & Canal. I pray it's a better experience next time.

    The Wing Zings and Catfish was pretty good and filling to me; definitely a step up in the seafood department in the area.

Love they always have a variety to choose from and fresh. I had the Mixto with shrimp, scallop and salmon blackened. Came with garlic mashed and broccolini which I subbed for green beans. They need to keep this on the menu! It worked for my appetite size as everything was a small portion and the flavor was so good! My other friends also had a special which was Halibut. They raved over that as well. Would like that as a regular menu item! If you go and these are on the menu, you will not be disappointed!

To be clear, the food is still great and the cooks continue to do an amazing job. The issue lately has been the service and overall experience, which unfortunately hasn't been the same over the last couple of months. The only consistency on the service side has been the Hispanic gentleman shucking the oysters ,he's always friendly, hardworking, and deserves recognition. I'm hoping things can get back to the way they used to be because this really was one of our favorite places.

We were greeted nicely and warned of workers calling off. They even provided mixed chips between our appetizers and entrees. We started with the grilled and fried shrimp. Both were amazing. Realizing there was no dipping sauce but not being able to stop eating them while awaiting sauce was commendable. Both were very tasty. The fried green tomatoes were cooked perfectly and seasoned impeccably... again no sauce needed. The catfish and the salmon bites again, seasoned and fried perfectly. The fried mushrooms were different but so good. The star of the night was the Shaniky pasta and I'm not a pasta fan. I had only one complaint. For the same price, you get either 4 pieces of beautifully fried catfish and fries or one piece of beautifully fried catfish sitting in a huge bowl of very tasty but dry dirty rice. I would eat the dirty rice again, but I would choose 4 pieces of beautiful fried catfish with fries any day over a big bowl of rice and one piece of fish. Will definitely return.... Regularly!!!

    I visited Captain Hooks yesterday. I was struggling with whether I should review my order or not…read moreand decided that I should. I placed an order for an order of catfish fillets and an order of chicken strips. I got my food home and everything was prepared fresh and fried as I requested. The flavor of the food was good as well, only one problem. This was not catfish. They are obviously passing a cheaper fish off as catfish. I was really disappointed with that because everything else was good, even the customer service of the young lady that took my order.

Management needs to address this before it drives more customers away. I'm also tired of repeatedly asking for all mild sauces, only to receive a mix of hot and mild, followed by an argument with the cashier when I point it out. Then, after that experience, I'm asked to leave a tip. I order from Captain Hooks regularly and spend a good amount of money there, but this experience has become too frustrating. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. If you order from here, be sure to check your order before you leave. The requested sauces are often not included correctly. Captain Hooks, do better.

I originally came for brunch, but my date arrived late and brunch ended at 3:00 p.m., so we had to wait for dinner service to start at 4:00 p.m. I ordered the shrimp and grits. The presentation was nice, served in a large bowl, and the sauce was delicious. However, the portion felt small for the size of the bowl--only four shrimp and not nearly enough grits. My date ordered the same dish and felt the same way. The biggest disappointment was that the food arrived only room temperature. It seems like more and more restaurants are serving food that isn't hot, and that's frustrating. My date also ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries. The burger came out without the fries, although they were brought out later. Overall, the experience was okay. The atmosphere and building are great, but the food temperature and portion size, left me underwhelmed. I might come back one day to try the brunch menu, but based on this visit, it's probably not a place I'd rush back to.
