This is a restaurant that I have been to before. No real complaints other than they couldn't refill my sweet tea fast enough. Chicken gizzards were a special today so I made that part of my pick three special with clams and chicken tenders, baked potato and salad. Moms got the fried flounder green beans and baked potato. The potatoes could have been done a bit more. The hushpuppies were good and fresh and hot. The gizzards were crunchy, seasoned well and delicious. So were the clam strips. The chicken strips could have had a bit more season for my taste. The waitress clearly was captain of that boat. She was super efficient and other than the tea, no real complaints. And they endured my mother's stories. That's a big plus. All friendly people on staff that are willing to help. It's my fault I didn't ask for more tea, but I was sucking it down awful quick. Can't wait to go back again! read more

We had a good time at this restaurant. The waitress who took care of us was friendly and patient with me as I asked questions about the menu. The food didn't take too long to come out. We ordered the scallops dinner, a kid's chicken and french fries, Brunswick strew, clam chowder, and fried shrimp. The best part really was the fried shrimp. The flavor really hit the spot. They give you a big portion of the shrimp too. Overall it was a good dinner. read more

I haven't been here in a while but I wanted some good ole home cooking meal. What I got for $20 was def not worth the $. As you can see from the picture, I ordered the combo with clam strips and deviled crab with steamed cabbage and Brunswick stew. Let me say I ordered, picked up and was home to eat within 30 min. The Brunswick stew was cold. I had to dump it in a bowl and microwave it. Then the cabbage...they gave me two giant pieces of the core. After removing that, there were a few slices of cabbages left. Then...clam strips...omg, a tiny thin layer of clam strips. This meal made me laugh...how can a restaurant serve this to a customer. Absolutely unacceptable. Yes they show it to you at the restaurant before you leave. But I am not one to say..."that's it???" Is that the new normal? A tiny bit of food? The deviled crab had no crab, none, not even a sliver. Would I recommend? Most definitely not. Would I try again? Maybe... read more

Big Disappointment We have been looking for a good seafood restaurant since moving to Franklin County from Little River, SC a few months ago. Discovered Off the Hook online and could not wait to give it a try. WOW! What a letdown! We approached the dinner with a lot of hope, expectation and really wanted it to be good. With every dish we tried hard to convince ourselves that it was at least OK, but it just went from bad to worse. The Hushpuppies are those skinny little doughnut kind. Not so bad, and we could have accepted them if the rest of the meal was good - which it wasn't. Next up was the Clam Chowder and Brunswick Stew. The Chowder did have a good amount of Clam bits, but it was not close to being a chowder. It was thin and weak and tasted odd. The Brunswick Stew was as bad as any I have ever had. I was also thin, but it did have a lot of flavor - unfortunately, the overpowering flavor was just plain weird - no other way to describe it. There was one item that we really liked - the fried Oysters. These were tender and juicy on the inside, tasted great, and had that wonderful Calabash style breading. A definite winner. But then came the Deviled Crab. If it were not served in the crab shell, I would have thought that I was eating turkey stuffing. It was mealy and pasty with little or no crab flavor. The Potato Salad was unremarkable - potatoes with a little mayo and virtually no seasonings or anything else to bring it to life. We finished our meal with a slice of Key Lime Pie - another disappointment. The pie filing was OK, but the topping (not sure exactly what it was) was gooey and sticky. I tried to figure out why the food was so underwhelming. The only thing I can come up with is that it must all come directly out of a can or freezer (with no additions or embellishments by the cooks). It was all so very institutional. The dining area is roomy and comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful; but, the food is not good. We truly wish it were better, but we won't be back. read more

We are kicking ourselves for taking so long to try this adorable restaurant! It's like walking into your favorite hole-in-the-wall Southern beach calabash place. Everything we had was off-the-hook good! Fried Shrimp and Flounder with fries and clam chowder for Husband. Clam chowder is included as a side option and they even brought it to him before our entrees. That's Southern hospitality! They also brought terrific hush puppy rings right away. I prefer my seafood broiled or grilled and they even put some good seasoning on them. For my sides I had a baked potato and cooked cabbage. All terrific and I loved all three sauces that were in squeeze bottles on the table. Service was also great! Those Gals couldn't have been more charming or helpful. And you can't beat the prices for this kind of quality! Note: it's a small restaurant. We went at an off time on a Sunday so it wasn't crowded, but it was sure picking up by the time we left. read more

We were given a GrubHub gift card as a sympathy gift and decided to order takeout from Off The Hook. My family and I have enjoyed their food over the years, despite a few hiccups. This evening's service and food quality negated all of our previous experiences. My order was thirty minutes later than the original promise time, and nearly one hour after I placed the order. I checked in when I arrived, so they knew I was there and waiting. My daughter's shrimp meal was lukewarm and soft. It was inedible. The green beans were all lukewarm and the grease was solidifying. My son's salmon was not cooked evenly. I ordered fried chicken - also lukewarm - and a salmon patty. The salmon patty was undercooked and had been sitting in the styrofoam so long it was a mushy mess (see picture). The restaurant is filthy these days, the floors look dirty. There was a silverware container sitting on the counter where customers were picking up to-go orders. The staff did not offer an apology for the wait, they never updated me on why it was taking so long. We will never, ever return here again. read more

They have great day to day lunch specials. Will definitely go back. Customer service was great.

I ordered Jumbo shrimp, but I received popcorn shrimp instead. Moreover, I requested my catfish to be fried hard, but it turned out soft, undercooked, falling apart, and even pink inside. It was so displeasing that I had to put it in the oven to finish cooking it. Overall, the experience was disgusting and very unsatisfactory. read more

We went here with a fairly large group on Easter Sunday. It was overall an okay experience but definitely not something I'd go out of my way for. The stuffed salmon was stuffed with seafood salad, not the regular crab I was expecting. It was the fake stuff. The salmon itself was good. Everyone enjoyed their meals but catfish wasn't that great. My father in law said it was salty. You get endless hush puppies. Huge plus considering most places charge for this. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. It wasn't a bad experience, but wasn't much better than most seafood places. read more

I really enjoyed my dining experience at this restaurant. At first glance is very simple but is clean and has beautiful outdoor seating. The staff was very nice and the food was good. It is a family owned restaurant and they make their own seafood sauce which is a plus. It was reasonably priced under $20 for a nice portion of food. I have enough for two.. So when you're inside of town please pay them a visit read more

They need to know where their shrimp comes from : Guy on the phone had no idea if it was Argentina , Vietnam, or local from the United States, southern coastline (I do not eat imported shrimp, the coast is entirely too close to serve anything else!) So no go for me! read more

For a local seafood place, it's fine, ambiance is kinda old. Food is decent and prices are ok. Staff is friendly.

This little restaurant, located in a rather new strip mall about 4 miles from I 540, used to be Fitzgerald's but changed ownership and names in late October 2016. The original restaurant had some nice reviews, but the owners sold it several years back, and the wheels kind of came off. When it was available recently, they bought it back, and renamed it to put some distance from the last several years. This place is primarily about fried seafood, though there are some other items worthy of note, some broiled items, crab legs, and even pork BBQ. Can't speak about the non-fried items, a situation I often find myself in, but the fried seafood, the HPs, and the Clam Chowder are excellent. Alice chose the Fried Shrimp with a House Salad, and a cup of Clam Chowder. I ordered a combo of Clam Strips, Oysters, and Trout Filet, all fried, with Slaw & Fried Okra. The shrimp were not the popcorn ones we prefer, but these were excellent, very fresh tasting. The Clam Chowder was very, very nice, with a good mixture of clam, potato, and onion, and a nice amount of black pepper. The clam strip were very plentiful, and reminded me of the one's we loved at Howard Johnson's, a million years ago. The oysters were small but exploding with taste, and nicely fried up, and the trout was equally as good. This is not an inexpensive place if you stray off the specials ($17 for the 3 item combo, $11 for the Fried Shrimp, and the diet sodas at $2.25 - Raleigh prices in a bedroom community!), but the food was good, the service excellent, I'd stop by again when in the area. read more

Great food and service!!! Highly recommended, prices are very reasonable with great portions!!!

She had me at unlimited hush puppy rings. They were warm and delicious. Served with some kind of processed buttery spread in a tub, didn't use, didn't need. Nice touch. This is a calabash style seafood place, meaning most is fried food. I ordered the stuffed salmon which is stuffed with seafood mixture. It was nice portion and good. Not the best salmon I've had but about a 3.5. This came with 2 sides and I chose the slaw and potato salad. Great choices! I'm pretty picky with both and would definitely get those again. Both tasted homemade. Friendly service, though hubby ordered combo and was actually a $3.00 upcharge to get broiled rather than fried. Weird to me that they charge more and would've been ok if server mentioned ahead of time. Friendly service and would come back. read more

Very good seafood and friendly service! Seemed to be clean and wheelchair accessible for my mother in law

I just got my food delivered, service was fast and everything looked great. It was hot and fresh; However, my fish... missing seasoning as well as the green beans. So I was really disappointed after reading such good reviews and being referred to them for Crokers! I gave up half way through the meal. The potato salad was good and my son's popcorn shrimp and fries was good as well. read more

Chicken was old not fresh cooked the bqq had a strong porky taste so to me that seemed old as well but the clam chowder soup was very good and also the potatoes was good read more

First and most important when eating at a restaurant...is the food good? Yes, it is. Is it plentiful? Yes, it is. The setting is more diner like or cafeteria like to me, but it seems really clean, and is well lit. The food is plentiful. I noticed one review that said there wasn't enough food....hey, I'm not Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies, so it is plenty for me. They have several sides, not just the normal fries and slaw. The salads are really crisp and fresh, the seafood breaded just right and fried crisp. I do wish they would have a stuffed mild fish, like flounder on the menu. We've eaten there perhaps four times and find them to be friendly, the food good, and the portions sizes are good IMHO. When my partner in dining gets the broiled scallops there are not 4, not 6, but about 20. I mean a LOT of broiled scallops! Give them a try...you won't be disappointed! Oh, and one day I was a complete and utter pig and got the lemon pie. Not homemade (but they tell you that), but a tasty treat anyway. read more

Small place on a small town. But full of flavor. My lady and I stopped by and really enjoyed the welcoming staff and food.. Being that I am a picky eater when it comes to seafood, the only minor draw backs were the stuffed salmon had processed crab/lobster rather than lump crab. And next time we will ask for the salmon patty to be seared and not deep fried. But the oysters were great! The seasoning on the broil was so delicious. So for the price, the food was awesome! Will be back. read more

Crab cakes....OMG!! The service was amazing and it felt like home. Great smiles and customer service.

We got fish platters from there yesterday choosing the 3-piece combo. The service is tops. You can't beat it. The folks are so nice!!! I really like that. But, I prefer bringing our food home to enjoy it in the comfort of our home, and this doesn't seem to be a good idea. The moisture in the styrofoam containers changes the fish and hush puppies and makes them no longer crispy. I ordered string beans and potato salad. And, athough they tasted great, the potato salad was a little too soupy and the portions were simply too small. I know they've been there for years offering great service, but I wish they could work on those couple of things. read more

Finally tried off the hook and it was a little disappointing and not off the hook. The Mac and cheese was some pasta with a side of cheese. The green beans had no flavor the fish is ok.

As always, food was great! The Triangle doesn't have enough good calabash seafood options. The food is fresh and seasoned well. The staff is always friendly and warm.

The food is really good. Portions are pretty good, also. The draw back is the floors and tables are so sticky! I can't stand that! Walking to your table, your feet stick to the floor. The floor is really dirty or maybe old but either way, it's very unpleasant. Our waitress was attentive, but smelled horribly of cigarette smoke. That was kinda nasty and off-putting when she brought our food and what we smelled was cigarette smoke. read more

I'm new to the area so I've been trying all of the seafood spots around. This is my second time ordering from here and I tried different fish both times. Croaker last time, catfish this time. Fried fish could be a little crispier but very good nonetheless, but to not add even a sprinkle of seasoning was surprising. I get that you want to cater to everyone but come on. Fried oysters and shrimp were ok but average. Brunswick stew way too tomatoey and clam chowder too watery. I typically keep my opinions to myself but more than half of my clam chowder was in a puddle at the bottom of my bag so I'm just a little more unhappy with them today. read more
