Whenever we go out of town, and look for places to eat, I always hit the YELP reviews first. We…read moredon't get paid. We don't get kickbacks. We give honest to the bone reviews. Secondly, when I read the reviews, I always start with the not stellar ones and work my way up. Of 6 reviews, only one had a "1-star". Seems that the poster wasn't satisfied with the greens nor Mac-n-cheese. Interestingly enough, they said the service was great. Anyone who's read my posts knows that I'll eat a batter dipped flip-flop if it was served right! LOL Soooo .... The directions to the place were excellent. But if you weren't paying attention, you'd not notice that it was right on the corner of the liquor store. The place was cozy, very clean, with indoor and outside seating. That was nice because it was hot as a fire ant's tuchus in Cincinnati today. We sat inside and it was pretty cool (even without a/c). As the one-star reviewer posted, the customer service was GREAT. I asked about the fish and chips (I'm weirdly particular about my fish), and was very pleased with the response. They said I didn't have to get chips but can choose any two sides. I had greens and yams. Pimp had the grilled chicken salad. We waited a good bit (about 15 minutes). But as we waited, we got to watch them prepare our orders as well as the many others that were constantly coming in. This is a neighborhood hot spot, indeed. Everything coming out of that kitchen was looking like fire!!! (We made notes of things to try next time, like the Salmon Croquettes). The food came out and the first thing she did was show Pimp the fish to see if it looked to our satisfaction. (Again, GREAT service). The food was hot. Pimp says the salad greens were crisp and fresh and his grilled chicken was flavorful (they even asked him if he wanted bacon; of course he did). Now I gotta talk about these greens. No disrespect nor disparagement to the reviewer who said the greens tasted like they were from a can. I am a connoisseur of greens. I grew up in a house where canned greens were better than no greens at all. I know canned greens. The greens I got today were cooked from fresh (the texture is the tell-tale). The seasoning was spot on. No stems. Tender, yet with enough bite to let you know they were fresh (no matter how you doctor them, canned greens have a slickness to them that can't be masked.) That's not to say they don't or haven't served canned greens before (I know that in a pinch, I will get a can of "Glory" myself when I run short on a holiday). So my opinion is that the greens were fresh or someone has one helluva gift for hooking up canned greens! We're here for three days for a bowling tournament. Having seen that they do DoorDash, definitely gonna hit them again before we head back to D-town. BTW .... them yams. OMG. I could eat the greens, yams, and cornbread as a whole meal. I think that's what I'll have when we hit the road.

I have driven by Hook Fish and Chicken for years, always wondering what their food was like. The…read moredine in area is fairly small, maybe three or four tables that can seat four. They are enforcing covid related rules - but, I had to clean my own table. Not that big a deal - I just happened to have some time in between errands and thought to try them out - after ten years or so of passing right by them - I'm glad I finally got the chance to stop in. A steady stream of customers came in - apparently they called ahead since their wait was less than five minutes or so. The menu is limited - but, my two piece cod plate was a fairly good portion for the price. I chose the cole slaw for my side. It was the perfect combination of sweet, sour and crunchy. It was a nice palate cleanser for the fried fish! In my opinion there is nothing better than freshly made cole slaw! They do have a nice selection of desserts - banana pudding, frosted cakes - I got the yellow cake with chocolate frosting. It was a great finish to a well made, fresh fish fried to perfection. This is a good place for take out or delivery. Perfect for sitting around the family room watching football!

Besides Cincinnati style chili they offer a wide variety of traditional diner specialties- double deckers, burgers shakes, fries, salads among other options. We stopped by for dinner and had the tuna melt. We split an order of French fries - which was a good decision because there was a lot! The tuna melt was fabulous- served on toasted and buttered white bread, topped with melted cheese and a tomato slice. The tuna salad itself was yummy. Our waitress said it was made in house. Though we didn't leave room for dessert- they had a tantalizing array of them up front in a glass case. Maybe next time!

I usually get one of their wonderful soups, and recommend all of them. There are usually about five to choose from. They have a good selection of specials, too, so there's absolutely something for everyone.
