Im Sonni. CEO Of SonniVilleProductions. Independent Filmmaker. I Was Took By A History Course Of What It Looked Like Was An Original Menu From 40Years Back. The Owner A Wonderful Welcoming Young Woman Gave Me The History Lesson. As I Wait For The 12!! U Have To Call Them To Find Out What The 12 Is The Chicken Is Juicy To The Maxx. The Cheese Sticks!!! Fa Getta Bout It. My Kid Said Look Pappi Cheese Just Strung Like He Likes It. The Flavor Them Cheese Sticks Had! Must be There Own Seasoning. My Son Smashed Them And Gave Me One I Guess Its Safe To Say. When Its Time To Feed My Actors & Actresses After A Hard Film Week. Im Ordering The Barrel!! Yup. Oh Yea The Potato Wedges Outta This World . Im Not A Coleslaw Man. But I Definitely Can Say Fabulous. My Wife Tore It Up. Alrighty Then Folks. Until Next Time. Dont Take Any Wooden Nickel. Trust Me They Don't Spend Very Well. They Been There 40Yrs. Same Recipe. 2 Thumbs Up.

Yep! Nothing has changed. This is the best chicken spot. I am just going to bucket down and make the trip when I get the urge for chicken. I'll call ahead to reduce the wait time but, all good if not. I have seen people order ready just in time as they pull up. Hands down.

Small place. Food was great and chefs were fun. It's only a carry out place but worth it.

What a delightful surprise! While visiting relatives in the Detroit area, we needed an afternoon…read moresnack while we waited for our hotel room to be ready. The staff suggested we drive along Gratiot Avenue and choose a spot. Hook and Reel looked promising and really hit the spot. Gerald, gracious and professional, greeted us at the door and led us, as we requested, to seats at the bar. He quickly brought us tall glasses of ice water and a complimentary basket of prawn crackers, sprinkled with Cajun seasoning, crunchy and delicious. We split an order of fried shrimp that came with French fries and cocktail sauce. Eight large, steaming hot shrimp, with a welcome hint of iodine. The fries were also crispy and perfect. A gin and tonic and an IPA were icy cold and refreshing. Run, don't walk, (or drive) to Hook and Reel. You will be glad you did.

She appeared distraught and upset. The owner completely disregarded her concern and walked off. She said that she'd been followed out of the restaurant parking lot by employees who followed her to her home in a threatening manner. Honestly, I'm appalled her statement wasn't taken seriously! We observed her trying to show proof of the incident while the owner just shook her head and shrugged the complaint off. We quickly settled our tab and left. Employee actions are a reflection of how a business is viewed. Due to this public display of callousness from this owner we will not return. I pray the young lady and her daughter are ok.

Mr. Pauls Chophouse is what I consider the quintessential old style steak house. Very busy,…read moresomewhat noisy and an excellent menu. We were quickly seated in a comfortable booth and the fun began. There were so many things I wanted to order but was told "you have to order the prime rib". All four of us took that advice and that is what we ordered. 1 rare, 2 medium rare and 1 medium and that is how they were delivered. Perfect. Meals came with soup or salad. You could also order the table side prepared Caesar Salad which both of our friends did order. Just watching the preparation of the salads was amazing. Our friends have been here many times so they knew how good they were. My wife and I each enjoyed the French Onion soup which was very full flavored unlike watery versions many restaurants serve. All of our prime rib dinners were outstanding. Horseradish added to the enjoyment of this perfectly prepared dish. I had heard that this restaurant had recent new owners. I did not verify this however. Service was as good as the food. Not only was our server (Mary) excellent but anyone walking the floor was quick to take away used plates and refill drinks. I experienced one thing I've never encountered before. When bringing our checks, our server reminded us not once but twice the tip was not included. Strange and I might have reacted if everything wasn't so otherwise.perfect. Maybe she's not been tiped before-I don't know. She did the job and we paid her well for it. You always feel so good (and stuffed) after a wonderful meal

I visited this restaurant on a Tuesday and found it to be fairly busy. There was no piano music…read moreplaying, but plenty of chatter from the nearby tables. Inside is dark, moody, with lots of brick and dark woods as you would expect for the era in which the building was constructed. I sat at the bar since I dined alone, where there were plenty of open barstools. They start you off with complementary bread service which is a mix of dinner rolls as well as small and large crunchy bread sticks. I just stuck to the rolls which are fairly standard dinner rolls. They bring a bowl of butter in packets; however, they did not give me a plate to eat my bread....just a napkin layed across the bartop which was strange. I later saw other bartop patrons being served a small plate for their rolls, so apparently they just forgot mine. For drinks, they do have all the usual drinks, beer, wine and cocktails. I just stuck with an iced tea which was refilled several times during my visit. I didn't want to go crazy with ordering so I just stuck to the prime rib, a side of their special baked potato, a french onion soup and an iced tea. Their actual steaks start at around $45, as of August 2026. French onion soup - pretty standard. This is a small portion/cup. Some restaurants cup sizes are larger than others. I did like it though. Prime rib - this is a healthy 16oz slice. Cooked to perfection. They asked how I wanted it....they gave me a perfect slice. The one interesting thing is they give you 2 different horseradishes here, regular and whipped. I preferred the whipped. I ate most of it, leaving only a couple of ounces at the end. The entire time I felt like this was maybe closer to 22 or 24 ounces. Twice baked potato - really tasty as they typically are. I was only able to eat half of it though. Service was very attentive even though the bartender was training a new employee the entire time.

Second time at this establishment and just as good as first time…read more Located in strip mall with ample parking and conveniently located. Staff was solid explaining the menu and helping to easily order. The inside has an inviting feel with naval theme. They have a large TV and sofa seating for groups looking to watch a movie or sporting event. As appetizer we ordered Hush Puppies which were "meh". For main course, We ordered a seafood boil with lobster , crab legs and shrimp with Cajun spice which was seasoned perfectly. Gotta say this place for a franchise is one of my favorites. Don't waste your time with the competitor Hook & Reel.

Went here to try to get some decent seafood. Wasn't sure about the process or what they served…read more Asked the server if the food is cooked in a plastic bag (which I didn't think would be healthy) he replied no it wasn't. Well the food (small lobster, small crab legs and unshelled shrimp arrived in a hot plastic bag. Either the food is pre-cooked and they just re-heat it in a plastic bag or it's cooked in a plastic bag. Either way not my idea of a healthy meal. Also asked for some butter for dipping (the very small lobster tail and the tiny crab legs) which the server brought out. The "butter" if that's what it was had a horrible rancid taste which the server did nothing about when we mentioned it to him. All in all for two people we spent well over well $110.00 which included a 15% non-negotiable "service charge" that was added to the bill. Definitely not worth the money or the assault on my taste buds! Won't be going there ever again and I suggest you don't either!
