    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.

    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.

    The Truck
    Krista R.

    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.

    My meal !

    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.

    Wow. Best $15 spent on food in a long time. The fish was fresh, hot and crispy on outside but juicy and delicious inside. The chips were perfectly crispy, hot and favorable. In short, on the hook is off the hook. Signing up to get notices when the truck will be in Pittsburg next .

My wings had chewy rubbery skin and just barely cooked. Fried pickles were lukewarm and breading was stale. Since they were busy, I opted for the self serve beer, but kept running into multiple empty kegs and getting charged for foam - requiring adjusting my tab. Second time. Not busy at all, but still took 20-minutes for our inattentive server to take our drink order. Took 15-minutes to get a beer and they never brought a menu. By then, I was absolutely not eating and ready to leave. Took another 30-minutes to get my check. My group stayed to drink and flirt with the server. Third time. Not busy, yet very slow (and unprofessional) service. I ordered a salad because I figured it's hard to mess up a salad. It was good. (Incidentally, I sampled one of my friend's wings to test whether my first experience was the norm or a really bad day. The wings were ok. Definitely had better but they weren't disgusting like my first trip.) Also had a beer. It took a very long time to get our order and the server rarely checked on the table (but they had time to shoot the breeze with coworkers). I tipped well-above what I felt they deserved because servers rely on tips; however, I cannot recommend this place. I get the sense that the owners are good people and the servers are friendly when you finally get to talk to them. I'd say they need more training. Not sure how long they've been around, but I'm amazed they're still in business.

    Nice welcoming vibe as you enter. Tastefully decorated. We were greeted as we entered and seated…read moreimmediately. Our server was prompt and reviewed the daily special with us. They have plenty of inside seating and a lovely deck for nicer weather. I did notice that the more the dinning area filled the louder it got. My hubs ordered the special and the $2 margarita. I got the herb chicken bacon pasta. The margarita was terrible! It tasted very watered down and lacking alcohol. He did not even finish it! The daily special sandwich was a beef brisket with slaw, jalapeños and Gouda cheese. He said it was very good however he could not taste the Gouda at all. The sandwich came with salt and pepper fries that are definitely a show stealer! They were a wide thin cut and seasoned perfectly. My pasta had a generous serving of herb chicken on top of Bucatini pasta in a creamy garlic sauce with spinach, bacon and cherry tomatoes. It was flavorful without being over garlicky. I would have liked if it was served with some bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Our server was attentive. Our food came out quickly. Overall it was a good experience though I would avoid the margarita special.

    I finally managed to catch the On The Hook food truck yesterday in South County in the Best Buy…read moreparking lot. I have to say that this is some of the best fried cod I have ever tasted!

On a positive note, the chowder and fries tasted very good. Also, this was the 6th (yes, sixth) time I tried to get the chowder. The prior five times, they said were out of didn't make any. Unreal. They have very few items on their menu, so how can one item be out so often?!?!? Makes no sense. Get organized and communicate! I had their fish once and hated it. Very oily and had thick batter. Could barely taste the fish. Never again.
