I found the Off The Hook food truck today in the Riverchase office park in Hoover. Their signature dish is called Rocket Shrimp, and I love it. A large portion of fried shrimp are tossed in Rocket sauce. The sauce is creamy and has a sweet and spicy flavor. It is similar to the Bang Bang Shrimp at Bonefish Grill, but still unique. The Rocket Shrimp can be ordered by itself, or in a taco, po-boy, or Reuben. The Reuben option sounds very interesting, and especially if you like rye bread and sauerkraut. I decided to try the Pow Pow shrimp today. The cashier said it was an Asian ginger sauce, and his favorite. The sauce was unique, it was sweet at first and then the soy sauce flavor takes over. The soy was a bit strong and there was a slight vinegar taste on the back end. I liked it, but I prefer the Rocket sauce. I ordered the kettle chips as my side, and that is a good option. Food trucks are cool, and you should definitely give Off The Hook a try. read more

Look, when you see a crowd forming around a food truck in the middle of the day, you stop your car and get some food. Thank god I was hungry. Food trucks in Birmingham are like pizza places in New York, they all have legendary reputations, but some aren't and some really are. This one falls into the latter category. I had a look at a good variety of what they were offering as there was quite a crowd, so I got a sneak peek at the selection as people were coming and going with thier food. The seafood looked and smelled amazing. Basically like a fish fry in a truck. Everyone seemed very pleased. I ordered the beef sliders, fries, sweet tea and banana pudding. All were outstanding. Well seasoned beef patties, perfectly toasted buns, some bleu cheese crumbles, a little special sauce...the whole meal was delicious. Fries weren't soggy or too salty, and the banana pudding was so good that I finished the whole thing. I have a feeling I'm going to end up taking a nap this afternoon. Overall just a well priced, well prepared, delicious, convenient meal. Couldn't ask for more. read more

Off the Hook, they got their name right, their food is truly off the hook! Had their rocket shrimp at the Food Truck rally a few weeks ago and today I had their Lobster and Shrimp roll. The Lobster roll is made with the true authentic roll, which they say they bring in from Atlanta and an "overflowing" of Lobster and Shrimp in a nice Mayo based sauce. Not overly seasoned and with a little kick. I enjoyed the Rocket Shrimp as well and with either dish I would not change a thing. They visit various places around downtown Birmingham and I keep up with their whereabouts on Facebook. Give them a try you will not be sorry!! read more

Yum. Never been disappointed here! I routinely get the Rocket shrimp with homemade chips or Southern slaw. The slaw is perfectly crisp and tangy- with no mayo! The chips are scrumptious- nice and crispy but not greasy. This time I added a new menu item- Pow Pow shrimp - again, not disappointed! The shrimp was succulent and drenched in a delicious spicy Asian sauce. Long story short: if you see this food truck, stop and eat. read more

Who knew food this good could come out of a truck!!! This was my second time visiting this food truck and today it was even better than before. They have a pretty nice menu, for a food truck, but I always get the Rocket Shrimp. If you like the BangBang shrimp from Bonefish grill, you will love this dish. Everything is made to order so it's always hot and fresh. The lemonade and sweet tea are also very good. The offer Banana Pudding as the desert option, and from what I hear it's good. I can't wait until they come back to the Riverchase area to spice up our lunch hour. Maybe I'll try something new next time. More than likely I'll stick with my classic Rocket Shrimp. read more

Off The Hook - Off the Hook. The best food truck I've ever visited. - Food Trucks Near Me

The lobster roll was small and the roll was saturated with butter. The pieces of lobster were tiny with nothing larger then a coin. Overpriced for what you get. The staff were very friendly and I really wanted to love it, but it was barely average. read more

Fried fish. Crispy fries. Friendly folks on a food truck --- all positives. I've had the fish and chips multiple times, and every time, they have been perfectly crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and appropriately flavorful. Fries are some of the best I've had as well ---- crunchy, crispy, and not too salty. Food portion sizes are enough for 1.5 meals. I've heard a lot about their Rocket Shrimp, but haven't had a chance to try them, but I'm literally always on the lookout at work to see if they're going to be around that day. Service was fast and friendly, and our orders have always been right. 5/5 for sure, can't wait for the next time Off the Hook is by again. read more

Caught up with Off The Hook at a Glen Rock street festival, prior to going to JUSA's Paramus festival at Van Saun Park. Got a buttered lobster roll; had chunks of tender but firm buttery lobster in a hot dog sized bun. Sandwich was pretty good, came with chips too. The only downside was the price. $19 for a hot dog sized lobster roll is thievery; can get lobster meat from a fish market for less than that, and buy a 6" sub roll to make my own. Good job otherwise, but I wouldn't buy another one at that price; not all of us Bergen county residents are rich suckas. read more

So, I have to admit it - I love food trucks. The inventiveness of fabulous cooking in such a small space amazes me - and Off the Hook is the epitome of inventive, delicious cooking. I ate with friends today - two had the Fish and Chips, because they had them before and loved it, and I tried the Rocket Shrimp with slaw. The Rocket shrimp are incredible - fresh shrimp perfectly seasoned and friend and tossed in the soon-to-be-famous Rocket Sauce, which is a spicy aioli with just a hint of sweetness. I wanted to never stop eating, it was so good. I was happy, I was amazed ... it was like a magic show on a plate. I had slaw as my side and I just need to know if they'll sell it by the quart ... mildly-vinegar based, it has the perfect sweet/sour flavor and amazing texture. I could have eaten bowls full of it. Best slaw I've had. Ever. In my life. Seriously. My friends who had Fish and Chips loved them once again. The fish was well-seasoned in a not-at-all greasy crisp crust, and the kettle chips were perfection. I was SO SAD they didn't have desserts, but truthfully, I was WAY too full to have entertained another bite of food. Generous servings of delicious food - made with care and thought - I can't wait for Off the Hook to come back to the AutoTec building parking lot!!! read more

I stopped by here this past weekend with my girlfriend after we noticed the truck sitting across from the Avondale brewery. I can't say that we were really hungry (which was a shame) but we still decided to check it out as we love food trucks. as soon as we smelled the food, we knew that we had to get something and ultimately decided on the shrimp taco. While we were waiting the few minutes for our food, we also talked with the chef/owner. he seemed like a nice guy and was enthusiastic about us taking some pictures and adding him to yelp. From that i could tell that he would stand by what he served you. The taco came in a soft tortilla with a a good sauce and was full of shrimp. The taco was excellent with the shrimp being the star as it ought to have been. The breading on the outside was crispy while the shrimp itself was great and cooked perfectly. The sauce on it also gave it the perfect spice, just enough so that you could taste it at the end with it lingering in your mouth. My girlfriend also really enjoyed the taste of it. The bottom line for me is that i would definitely stop by here again if I saw the truck. I only wish that I had been hungrier as I did catch a glimpse of the shrimp po boys and was almost drooling over them! read more

We checked out Off the Hook today at the Hooley Irish fest in Kingston. Extremely friendly people with excellent customer service. My son had the steamed clams, which he loved!! I had the New England Clam Chowder. The soup was pretty close to perfect, with tender clams and well seasoned. Sadly, I got my main course at a different truck. I would have been much happier with Off The Hook Fish and Chips. Very highly recommended!!! read more

Love this truck. Fish Tacos and rocket shrimp tacos are fabulous. Last time I had this I got to try the kobe sliders. Wow! I love the rocket shrimp tacos so much but those kobe sliders are unreal. Good fries also. This is a great truck, don't miss a chance to try it out. read more

Luke is good people. He was very helpful and courteous. Off the hook is a great place to chill out and people watch. We will definitely be back. read more

I've eaten here many times. I normally get rocket shrimp. Today I had fish and fries- it was a bit greasy and the fries so so. But the fish was great. This place is consistently good. Great taste and fresh seafood. You have to get there early or they run out of shrimp, slaw, food. Good for the truck. Not good for the hungry public! read more

Simply awesome. They catered our recent Operators event. Their food was outstanding and their service was impeccable. The owner Rayford went out of his way to make our event one of the best we ever had. Over 90 people were well fed and very happy with not one single complaint only rave reviews. These people were from all over the US and they all loved the food. I want to say Thank you to Rayfod and all his staff for going above and beyond for us. You have to try the rocket shrimp and the fish absolutely amazing! read more

This food truck often parks outside my workplace, and, for someone who is trying to lose weight, it's not a good thing! They are VERY hard to resist. Just about everyone raves about the Rocket Shrimp, and rightfully so. They are crispy, sweet and spicy. Serving size is plenty, though you'll want more and more! As tasty as the Space Crustaceans are, my go-to is the combo tacos-fish and shrimp. Tortillas are always fresh and warm, and the blackened shrimp are big and juicy. Lime sour cream is a delicious topper. read more

As a working girl who NEVER goes out to lunch and also who 2 months ago made the decision to stop eating all meat besides fish and seafood I was excited that Off The Hook would be parked at my place of business. I love the food truck philosophy and culture :) I got the fish taco and kettle chips. The service was fast and friendly. The fish taco, for $4 could have had a little bit more fish (maybe mine was just a fluke). But it was tasty. The flour tortilla was not warm and neither was the fish. The pineapple salsa was good but I detected a hint of cilantro (of which I am not a fan) but it wasn't so much that it made me dislike the salsa. The chips were cold and a bit hard but otherwise tasty. I don't like putting the napkin and fork UNDERNEATH the food. For $6 it was a good lunch and I will try their food again :) ps: I tried to take a photo but my phone was acting up and I was hungry. read more

Just get the shrimp tacos! The coleslaw is great, unique vinegar slaw with light jalepenos

Being close to our office, several of us walked over today in Hoover. This was my first experience with their food and certainly will not be the last. The Shrimp Po Boy was absolutely fantastic. The shrimp were cooked just right and the sauce they use was very flavorful. I had kettle chips for a side. The chips were crisp and flavorful with the salt and pepper seasoning. Definitely worth recommending to someone thinking about trying it. read more

I first tried this place while I was grabbing a beer at Cahaba Brewing company and I was blown away. It is by far my favorite food truck in Birmingham. The food is incredibly fresh and tasty. The owner and chef personally delivered our food to us and talked with us about the food truck and the ingredients. He seemed very passionate about his job and the quality of the food. I had the fish taco which were SO good and since I have had the shrimp po boy which was also very delicious. I tell everyone to try this place. You will not be disappointed. read more

Ridiculous flavor and restaurant quality food at practical prices. Had the crab cake sliders and the shrimp po-boy....simply irresistible!

Be prepared to wait because it's a popular food truck, but it is definitely worth it. I highly recommend the rocket shrimp taco - it has a little kick to it. The fish taco is sweet in comparison and complements the rocket shrimp nicely. I've also tried the blackened shrimp taco, which was also delicious. Tip: ask for extra rocket sauce so you can dip your fries! read more

AWESOME!!!! They were parked outside my workplace and I thought I'd give them a try , and I wasn't disappointed at all! The Shrimp tacos are flavorful and packed with shrimp. Definitely worth the money! read more

Experienced Off The Hook today at the restaurant. It really left a lot to be desired. The food looks really good once they bring it out but was not seasoned at all which eating cajun food you would expect. The Rocket shrimp is basically a knock-off of Bonefish Grill's bang bang shrimp. The crab cakes were salty and not good at all. By the way, my crab cakes came out after my meal. I understand it's just opening but the food was not up to par. My wife ordered the shrimp and grits which the remoulade sauce and shrimp had no seasoning. I guess i was expecting a blackened shrip, not just boiled shrimp. Just really hate they closed down Surin for this place. read more

This is a food truck that I'll seek out. I've had the following from them: shrimp po boy, crab cake sliders, fish n chips, fish taco, and rocket shrimp. All have been fantastic! Having said that, my favorite is definitely the rocket shrimp. read more

Wow! I have one word.... Ahhhmazing!!! I tried the Rocket shrimp . It is the best shrimp I've had. I'll definitely look this truck up again and chase them down if I have to. read more

I've heard great things about them. I would love to try their food. The three times they have been scheduled to be at my work place, they had to put their truck in the shop. I won't even pay attention to when they are supposed to be here in the future. Three strikes and you're out! read more

This food truck is fantastic! From the rocket shrimp to the fish tacos, you won't be disappointed. Every Thursday, most of my floor is amped up to go outside for lunch and enjoy the food. Usually, the meal, without a drink, is around $9-$10. read more
