I always seek Black businesses to patronize, but this is not acceptable. A waste of $50 on food not fit for animals in the wild. If this is the same Stac from Indian School near 16th St, there was once the food was not up to standards he had sent. He had other people cooking that did not know how to smoke meat and that showed today. I can't see many people outside of their neighborhood. We both feel cheated and that substance they put on the fish I ordered literally has me feeling sick. The moisture was so extreme it seemed as though they poured a liquid substance on it. Fried fish won't get that moist with the container closed. Unhealthy place I feel and the health department will be contacted read more

Finally got around to trying this place. Of course I got the gizzards, 3 wings, fried okra, red beans and rice. Bride got a fried chicken breast. Wife really liked her chicken breast commenting on how crispy it was while the meat was super moist. For my food, the gizzards were okay and the wings very good. The gizzards didn't have the seasoned coating as thick as the wings so, they lacked that nice flavor. Both the fried okra, rice & beans, were okay. I liked the hot sauce as well - nice bite without too much heat. The cornbread was very good, but I would have liked it served with butter. Last thing, the old soul music others enjoyed listening to in their reviews was replaced by way too loud hip rap by the elementary age child taking orders (came out to make some song selections a couple times). Music that drops f-bombs and uses the 'N' word every couple seconds is not appropriate for a public restaurant. If you have small children, or don't like this sort of thing, I highly recommend you avoid going here. read more

Upon walking in this restaurant, the smell of sewage turn me right around and left. And in speaking with the girl at the counter, she had an attitude that matched the smell. Stank. And the place was visibly filthy. Someone was in the dinning area work on some electric. Not comfortable. read more

Absolutely delicious. We're visiting and stopped in for lunch today after googling for "soul food in Phoenix" and we weren't disappointed! The catfish is divine. Not salty, but crispy, flavorful goodness. The smothered pork chop tastes like somebodies Granny made it. The cabbage...mmmm...still dreaming about how savory it was. Really nice guys that run the place. We'll be back! read more

This place was a dump!! Even without eating the food... to walk into someplace that looks like it use to be a "filling station " and the kid behind the desk has a do rag on sitting on a stool. Hygiene is a laugh since he asked me to wear a mask but the dining room doesn't look like it's been dusted or cleaned ever. I felt like I had walked into Fred Stanford's living room. For Black History month; GMs affinity group for Black professionals recommended we go out and patronize black businesses; but this is a shame to our heritage, an embarrass- ment to professional establishments everywhere. When are we going to make good service one of our core values? read more

This place has great food but here's the 3 biggest reasons why it's irritating to go here 1. There always out of half the menu, I want to believe it's because their busy. But I've come here a lot and there was never more than 2 other customers in there. 2. U can't really call ahead to check because their business phone it's a disconnected line. 3. The food takes way too long to make If you can get past these 3 things and have good service you will def enjoy some half decent food at a reasonable price read more

Awesome fried chicken! Banana pudding is very good too. Next time I'm going to try the ribs and brisket.

I love this place amazing staff and service I recommend to all to try. The sides go crazy soul food at its finest

Food was good. Fried fish was definitely what we were looking for. I don't know anywhere else you can get rib tips in the area. They were ok - a little fatty- sauce was good. As for the sides though, pretty sure the green beans were canned. Maybe even Old Glory? The biggest challenge was the wait time. We waited 45 minutes for our meals. Then another 15 for the peach cobbler that was not quite ready... Interesting after the 45 wait for food. We were not disappointed with the food, but would not go out of our way to go back either. read more

I've tried ordering here twice in the past month as I was hoping to support local black business but the first time they cancelled my online order after 30 minutes of saying they were preparing it. The 2nd time I ordered Postmates and they said my order was ready but made me wait 20 minutes outside in the heat just to tell me they didn't make my food and are no longer taking orders (mind you it's 5pm) They refused to cancel my order that they claim they didn't have and I was still charged $42 days later. They also seem to play favorites so if you don't know somebody that works here good luck! We must do better smh read more

The food is great service is fast staff is friendly and very welcoming I eat here very often and will recommend it to anyone who likes good soul food read more

Fresh and hot chicken with great flavor. Never been disappointed. The sides are tasty and homemade.

Pretty good food here.. friendly staff a great hole in the wall place to go for some good soul food. The okra was good the Mac n cheese was great the wings were tasty. The vibe of the old school music was great to listen to while enjoying the food. read more

***Just as an update I was never actually refunded for the food I never received. And I ended up having to dispute the charge with my bank.**** First off, I would like to say that I really do not like to give bad reviews and usually like to give a business more than one chance before doing so. But this place is not worth revisiting. I cannot speak for the food, but the service here is enough to stay far, far away. I'm a pretty understanding person, so I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt when my order was taking a lot longer than I felt it should be. I had placed my order around 1:13 or so and sat down to wait. I see a few customers come and go, that I assume have ordered ahead of time. So do not think much of it at first. The cashier comes out to hand people the food and sees me multiple times, so I know she was aware I was there. Trying not to be a bother, I continue to wait patiently. Fast forward to a little after 2 pm and I've been hanging out for about an hour. At this point, I've seen a few people come in, order, receive their food and go and realize that I've been forgotten about. I also had somewhere to be, and wasn't expecting to sit at a restaurant for an extended period of time for a to go order, and couldn't wait any longer. So I go up to the cashier to see if the food is ready and if not, that I just want my money back so I can go. The cashier says nothing to me and just sends a man up to the cash register. No apologies are made in the slightest, and I'm told I need my receipt to be refunded. Which is fine, but the manner of which he handled it and acting frustrated with me as the customer when it was their mess up, was the last nail in the coffin for this place for me. He then stated that the food was already ready, but at this point, I no longer wanted it. Since, from the sounds of what he was saying, it had been left sitting around for some time by the cashier. And even if he had offered to remake it for me(which he didn't) I couldn't spend anymore time there waiting for it. I've worked in the food industry and still work in customer service currently. I can empathize with how frustrating it can be at times and that patrons can be difficult and entitled. I get it. But treating your customer like they are the jerk when you've forgotten about them for an hour and failing to at least apologize is bad business. At any rate, I was given a reprint of my receipt, so I'm not even sure I was actually given a refund in all honestly. Such a disappointment as I love soul food, and had high hopes for this place. read more

Make sure u order your food in Person because u will never get all the items u ordered and they just keep apologizing. I ordered cabbage and got collard greens. Ordered peach cobbler and pound cake and got neither. When I contacted them they stated to contact uber eats but they never gv driver all of our items. My opinion never order online from them. read more

I drove by this place a few times, so I finally thought to stop by tonight. Small quaint little place. Clean. Def had a good vibe inside. Busy inside. The guy who took my order was nice but distant took my order and that was about it. I got the fried chicken. I got the white meat option. I got green beans and potatoes side. It was pretty good. Candied yams was delicious tho. However... The fried chicken was some of the plainest I've ever had. It was hot but not delicious. I thought maybe it was just my first bite. But it was just not good. Maybe I'll come back to try this place again as they had a lot more options than just fried chicken. read more

I am so excited right now. I finally made it out to Stacy's Off The Hook BBQ. I walked in and got some very exceptional customer service and hospitality. The dinning room is closed but I got my meals to go, I got the gizzards, and a 3 piece chicken dinner with macaroni and potato salad YUMMY! Oh by the way I had to get my favorite flavor of koolaid they had that "Red"on deck. Now I wait,THIS IS NOT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, everything is made to order and FRESH! This food will literally take you to that special place, one bite is a memory, euphoric. Now I'm driving to Mars In a Saturn. The chicken was perfectly crisp and the flavor was hitting my taste buds from every degree working the angles. The sides were authentic I really enjoyed the Mac& cheese and the potato salad was so rich and tasty. Now to the really important stuff....... THE GIZZARDS. So I been waiting to find some authentic gizzards I'm town because I recently seen a YouTube /foodie that did a review on some soul food restaurant out in Atlanta and that's when I seen and heard about gizzards for the first time. I become obsessive when I want something but I also knew the gizzards would come to me based on the paw of attraction and the SECRET. These bad boys look perfectly fried to savory and the texture is exactly what I would want soft on the inside and crispy on the outside (crunchy noises) (BLASTOFF!) read more

Phenomenal food! We had the 2 piece meat combo, pork rib & pulled pork and both were cooked perfectly and delicious! Added a hot link too and it was so flavorful! The mac and cheese and green beans were great too but that corn bread cake! WoooEee so good! Husband also got the 3 piece fried chicken and let me tell you the seasoning on that chicken was so good! Cooked perfectly. We will definitely eat here again! read more

Fun place that I think could be great, however they were a little backed up and possibly rushing to meet demand by the time we took our food home and opened it up we found that our fried chicken was raw inside and inedible read more

Was my first time here. I had the catfish with yams and also Mac and cheese. The yams were the best I've had from any place out here so that's a plus. Catfish was decent but I was not feeling the Mac and cheese at all. read more

I've been coming to "Off Da Hook" for more than a few years now. I was a fan when it was in the swap meet and I'm a fan now. The place is small and everything is made to order, so if you're an impatient douche, this is probably not the place for you. Good food takes time and soul food is the best food! The service is great. Everyone treats you like family, they offer suggestions, and I really enjoy my experience every time we get to eat here. There's so much great stuff on the menu. If you go on the weekends, go early and get the oxtails! My favorite is the BAM BAM! It's got a nice piece of fried chicken, a smothered or fried pork chop and a piece of fried fish. The batter on these pieces of deep-fried meat is amazing. It's crispy and flavorful and just the right amount of spice too. The real start of the show is the sides: collard greens, cabbage, green beans & potatoes, sweet yams, so much good stuff... but the mac n' cheese, man o man! Do yourself a favor. Go with some time to wait, ask about specials and suggestions, and listen to what's being said. There's some gold in here! read more

The Brisket was overcooked and tough, service was slow and wasn't paying attention during the order and the few tables were dirty. Will never return. read more

Ordered the catfish dinner with yams that were not fully cooked or candied to my taste. Fish was ok small pieces. Every soul food place I've ate at has not been great but this place came close but not close enough for me to go back. I love Mac and cheese with yams so I'm very in satisfied with my sides. read more

The food is OK, but the service was horrible and there was this heavy set middle aged guy, for one instance i went there and his butt crack was hanging out, eeewww then he was very rude to me at the counter. Just a nasty attitude. If you gonna treat customers who pay thier hard earned money who comes there to eat, and you be rude, is not ok! ​ read more

I recently ordered off of Grubhub. Naturally I didn't expect an amazing experience but this was beyond disappointing. My order was more than an hour late. I called the restaurant and got hung up on. When it did arrive the driver was distraught. The restaurant didn't "get" my order. So she waited. When she did get here half my order was missing. I contacted GrubHub this time and received a little refund but my fiancé is now hangry since he does not eat meat. The potato salad was runny and the Mac and cheese was pasty and a little bland. The chicken, while crispy, was a little over done but still decent enough. This was a big disappointment as I had high hopes and cravings for a good fried okra. I will not return if this is how people, not just myself are treated. read more

The fried catfish is seasoned perfect, the macaroni and cheese aren't mushy or soggy at all, the red beans and rice are delicious. Definitely found my new spot for real soul food in Phoenix read more

Sometimes you got a taste for soul food and don't wanna spend time cooking it, so you hit up these dudes. But when you do, they customer service is trash can juice..my guy, their food is good but thats only when they get your order right, thats almost NEVER. When customer service gets better I'll come back. If you see a good review from this place it's because they liked the food. read more

Poor customer service. Prices to high to be serving store bought frozen fries, canned salty green beans ,boxed corn bread mix and try to pass off cheap white fish for catfish. read more

This place is pretty good it's not as spicy as what you get in New Orleans and Baton Rouge but it is Chris p.m. the greens are flavorful cornbread's good fried chicken is good, I really like the fried pork chop. The potato salad is a dill potato salad not my favorite but still good. I can't get Baton Rouge Baton Rouge so I'll go there when I have a craving read more

I was craving some good fried chicken and got really dry and old looking chicken. It was cut in half to probably see if it was done in the middle but you would think this is what they do for a living, don't they know how long it takes and if you cut it, all the juices come out! The Mac and cheese and potato salad were decent. Also the take out containers are styrofoam and the chicken melted it! Get new containers because that's a health problem from the chemicals in it! read more

I really wanted to like this place, since it's so close to my house. I was hoping its fried chicken really was that good, and that it could be our new go-to spot for barbecue. Sadly, that was not the case. The very first thing I noticed was that they had Tahitian Treat as a fountain drink, which made me super excited. They don't, however, have anything sugar free, or diet, which sucks for anyone diabetic or on a restrictive diet. That was the first issue. When we got to the restaurant, we were the only folks there. A few minutes after we sat down, a couple other tables were seated. I ordered the 3 piece fried chicken dinner, and mac n cheese and candied yams, the kiddo got chicken fingers and fries, and my partner got a pound of brisket. All pretty easy. An hour later we finally got our food. During that hour, all the other tables were served, and some had even eaten and left. My chicken was dry, and the sides were obviously Stouffers mac n cheese, and canned yams. The kiddo kept saying how hungry she was, but when her food came, she barely touched it. The brisket was tough, and we're pretty sure it was nowhere near an actual pound. We were all thoroughly disappointed. Our server kept our drinks full, but that was about it. Never apologised for the long wait, never said anything about everyone else being served way before us. I was really hoping for good things from here. I'm really sad it didn't come remotely close to meeting our expectations. read more

Crispy fried chicken is mouthwatering. The potato salad and red beans and rice are also good. It will take time to fry the chicken so be patient. You will be pleased. This is a locally owned business and much better than the salty fried chicken from the chains. read more

I wish I could leave a zero for the BS we just received from this place. Never order from here. They totally ripped us off.

Called an order in on a Saturday evening and was told it would be 25 minutes until it was ready. Arrived at the restaurant and our order was ready on, as promised. I had the 3 bone pork rib dinner with mac and cheese and it was outstanding. The meat fell of the bones and the barbecue sauce was smokey and delicious. I will be back! read more

I was very pleased with the first order I had made with them and my second order... I am disappointed. They said the driver only showed up with an order for my gumbo... no, there was more on my order. I can't even finish my meal because it was not what I expected. As much as I don't want it to go to waste, I have lost my appetite. So, I called the restaurant and whoever picked up the phone said they'll get someone and left me (NOT ON HOLD), but just sat the phone down so I could hear everything on the phone. So, I hung up and kept calling.. the line was busy until I could reach someone. read more

Wonderful folks; wonderful sides; wonderful beverages. We sooo want to like these guys, but the meats they served were dry (we came around 7.30pm) and I haven't had worse brisket anywhere in this state. Same went for our cornbread muffins - all were all hard as rocks. I'm glad they're done hitting everything with Johnny's seasoning salt. Unfortunately, after years being a loyal customer, the changes we were hoping for still aren't happening. Please don't serve what you wouldn't serve to your family / friends. read more
