    No Chowder on the hook
    Scott L.

    Stood in line just a few minutes at noon for a bowl of chowder. They were sold out! Seriously? You sell Three items: Fried fish, French fries, and, (""DRUMROLL"") CHOWDER! and you run out at noon??? Bull $hit! You guys blew it.

    fish and chips

    I have yet to find my holy grail for fish and chips here in KC, but I will continue to give places a try. I had heard some good things about On the Hook, a food truck that was near me on 119th and Nall, so I gave them a try. I got three pieces and fries with tartar sauce for $17 with tax and a $2 tip. I said fries, because these aren't English style chips, but regular cut fry that were coated in perhaps the batter. It was good and the coating puts it up and above a plain french fry, but at the end of the day, it is not authentic to an English chip I want and if you told me they came out of a McCain's frozen bag, I'd believe it. The letdown was the fish. Mad of cod, they are not cut in fillets but strips and that is their main problem. A strip of fish will dry out quickly, because the meat is cut thin and narrow here the fish had no juiciness and thus made it tasteless. A good sized fillet is preferred because it retains it's juiciness, even when deep fried. The batter was okay and the tartar sauce was on point, but overall, it was a below average food experience. With prices nowadays, you do get a decent value if your judging by the volume of food, but I'd rather pay a few bucks more and get a single fillet that had a great batter that was crisped to perfection.

    We've eaten here several times but this was the first time getting the kids meal with crab cakes/nuggets...they had a butane smell to them and were really dark in color. My daughter didn't eat them and I wasn't a fan with the smell. The fish was smaller strips than we've ever gotten before. It was very tasty just smaller. We really like the fact we can order ahead now.

    I love this food truck. I get a chance to eat it about once a year and I always enjoy it. It's some of the best fish and chips I've ever had. Ordering is simple and the people are really friendly. The price is a tad high but you get plenty of fresh, hot food in trade for your money. After ordering, I sat on my tail gate with my dogs and enjoyed my meal. I find the food truck experience very pleasant and I'm happy to see so many truck food types on the rise. If you're looking for fresh, hot and crispy fish and chips, give this mobile eatery a try.

    I've seen the truck around a few times, but was never able to stop. Finally caught them last night at Westlake Hardware in Lenexa. There were quite a few people waiting in line and a few more who had placed orders ahead online. I waited in line and even with the crowd and online orders, the order came up pretty quickly. I took it home and the food was still nice and hot by the time I got back. The fish was a good portion and breaded nicely. Personally I enjoy a more crispy coating, but it was still very good. The cod was fresh and tasted good on its own, but I also really enjoyed their tartar sauce. The chips/fries were also battered and really, really good. Perfectly crispy and had very good flavor. I would order from them again.

    Decided to try them again as I got off work and was starving. And just like a gift, the truck pulled into the parking lot I was at. If that's not a sign I don't know what is. Ordered a fish and chips meal and waited for it. Wasn't bad as I ordered pretty much when they started cooking. The fish was fried much better this time. Not over fried and the inside tender and fresh. The fries were hot and tasty. Ate the meal in my car and boy was it good to fill the empty tummy. Server was polite which made it even better.

    Approx 20 min wait from line to receiving food.

    02/2024 - ON THE HOOK Fish & Chips food truck Saw long line in Kohl's parking lot, so I had to check it out. I ordered a meal (3pc fish & fries) w/ extra pc of fish = $21 + "required" tip (see below) PRO: freshly made, consistent with English fish & chips CON: Only takes cards, which I thought was odd - until I paid. Cashier hands you a phone & you are required to tip to finish the transaction. I'm all for tipping...but don't like it as a requirement. Cashier said they use Square for card processing. Tips shouldn't be required. Not cool. I would have tipped more, in cash, if it wasn't on the card. Poor taste in my opinion. I literally received 6 fries in my container (see pic). For $21, I would have thought more. Came with too many sauces: tartar, sweet chili, ketchup & malt vinegar. Since I only used malt vin, I will be throwing away the rest. For cost & environment sake, wish the sauces were on request. Anyone need sauce, let me know...I have several. All in all, glad I tried. Was good, but not sure worth the hype. For $24, I'd probably go have a 2 course Thai meal down the street.

    Amazing food and service, a must go for everyone. Love this place. The outside is stunning a secret…read morehideaway to enjoy a fantastic. Meal. Highly recommend

    Unfortunately, my first visit to The Suburban will also be my last…read more On Thursday at 4 p.m., a group of my classmates and I went to The Suburban for what was going to be our final time together as a group. One of our classmates had been there before and recommended the restaurant based on the food, so we were looking forward to spending our last evening together there. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. We arrived around 4 p.m., but most of us did not receive our food until approximately 5 p.m. Even worse, three people in our party did not receive their meals until around 5:30-5:45 p.m. By that point, they simply had their food packaged to go. The service throughout our visit was lacking. Our servers rarely checked on the table, offered beverage refills, or provided any explanation for the significant delays coming from the kitchen. A little communication and attentiveness would have gone a long way. I initially planned to order a main course but couldn't decide what I wanted, so I kept the menu and ordered appetizers while I decided. Unfortunately, our server never returned to ask whether I was ready to order my entrée. Given how long everything else was taking, I eventually took that as a sign that I didn't need to order anything further. What was most disappointing was the apparent lack of management. I don't know what was happening in the kitchen or who was responsible for overseeing the dining room, but neither appeared to be effectively managed during our visit. No one came by to acknowledge the delays, explain what was happening, or check on our group. To make matters worse, the dining room was extremely warm and the air conditioning seemed to be barely working. Even members of the waitstaff serving other tables could be seen fanning themselves across the room. I understand that restaurants can have bad days, staffing issues, or unexpected problems in the kitchen. However, when delays are this significant, communication and attentive service become even more important. This was supposed to be an enjoyable final gathering with my classmates. Unfortunately, the combination of extremely slow food service, lack of communication, inattentive service, and an uncomfortable dining room made the experience memorable for all the wrong reasons. It was my first visit to The Suburban, and unfortunately, it will be my last.
