    Blue cheese olives!
    Tom B.

    In short A thriving neighborhood watering hole with a great kitchen. Runs like a top. Kind of a dad-bar/sports-bar vibe away from the dining room. Full bar. In long This place has great word of mouth and I'm glad I finally got to check it out. I tried 2 things, and, so far, the menu seems to be executed very well. The whole menu looks crazy promising, so this is an excellent sign. I came in for a late lunch on a summer Friday during World Cup. A few folks were watching the game--there were a handful of gasps for great shots and saves. But most of the scattered crowd was there for a leisurely lunch (or beer). They have a solid tap lineup with lots of dependable local favorites, and the tender knew quite a few people by name *and* by beer preference as soon as they sat down. Said she had been there over 5 years. Great vibe, lots of happy customers. It probably gets kinda loud in here when it's packed--you can tell from the photos that everything is concrete and wood and whatnot. No acoustic baffling that I could see. Easy to clean, though, and it was definitely just pleasant and sociable the whole time I was there. I got the Blue Burger with a cup of clam chowder. You can tell the soup is scratch, nice little dicing on the potatoes and veg, decent amount of clams. Comes with the oyster crackers that some of us have loved for decades. The burger is hearty--thick patty, thick stack of veg, squishy thickish bun. Easy enough to eat but without a doubt it's the opposite of a smashburger. I know, I know. This is a seafood joint. You can tell from the fake seagulls right by the front door. But it's been ages since I had a burger, and at least I tried the chowder. Everything was easily good enough to come back and see how the water side of the menu is. I was in and out for a fair price, and never doubted that everything would be very good. And that's exactly how it turned out. I'll happily be back.

    I genuinely enjoyed this place! Overall good food and clean. A good place to catch a game and grab some seafood! Food wise: There are so many options on the menu including variety of seafood, steak, salads, pasta etc. And everything we ordered was good! We went in as a group of six and each got an item. We got the hook platter and crab dip. And the rest of the gang got a pasta, and a couple flat breads. Portion size was pretty decent too. Service wise: Was fantastic, I believe our server name was Myra? She was attentive and sharp! Checked in on us a few times making sure we were doing good. Ambiance wise: It was spacious and clean. Located in a nice area too with parking! It has tvs for sports game. The bar was stock with variety of alcohol to choose from! It was a good first time for us at this restaurant! Definitely plan to be back!

    Crab artichoke dip
    Yuehching T.

    Decided to try this place after I'm back to the hood. It was calming walk down the street to this restaurant. We were served quickly. I will be very honest the menu is huge! Took me awhile to decide on what to order lol. Settled with steak bites, steamed clams, crab and artichoke dip, fried cod and salad with salmon. We loved the steak bites! The extra veggies of onion, peppers and mushrooms were delicious. Steak was tender and flavorful. Clams were meaty and tasted good with crispy cheesy bread to dip in that sauce. Crab dip was also good. My fried cod and fries was really good. Crispy outside and juicy cod inside. Slaw and tartar sauce were all on point. My friends salmon salad was really delicious too. Overall was a great meal. And we also had a slice of lemon cheese cake and salted caramel cake and that was all amazing. So happy to know the restaurant is still in business and good still tasted great. Will return soon

    Beef Gyro with a side chowder
    Carol C.

    What drew me in was their vast menu and location. There is something for everyone here from pasta, burgers, salads, seafood and gyros. Hubby and I ordered the 3 piece cod & chips and subbed tots, and the beef gyro sandwich with clam chowder as my side. The things we took notice were the clam chowder was loaded with clams and was tasty, which we enjoyed. Also, the tots were extra crispy just the way I like them! The entrees were good. This is a great neighborhood restaurant located in Perrinville with decent food for every palate. There was a mix-up with our check, which our server corrected immediately.

    Interior has nice aesthetics and fair lighting. Service was pretty good. Food was alright. Their name implies seafood would be fresh while our shrimp and salmon were not. Both were 'fishy' and texture was seemed over cooked/previously frozen. Crab and shrimp dip was ok, not very much seafood and a lot of cream. Would've been better with crunchy pita chips or bagel crisps than soft pita. Favorite was the salt & pepper calamari which had a light breading and calamari was tender.

    Kids popcorn shrimp basket & fries - amazing!

    Hands down amazing!! would eat here again & again! Everyone's food & experience was great! Family-friendly & very personable and offered a great recommendation on pasta!

    The hook platter
    Jeremy A.

    Walking into this place it has more of a bar feel than restaurant though there are separate areas. The outside looks kinda neat, but upon walking in it doesn't fit the outside in my opinion. We went there for dinner with the parents just to try a new place. The server we had was quick to the table but that tapered off. I ordered the seafood Diablo which came with quite a bit of seafood. I was pleasantly surprised. Though the Diablo was certainly missing, it was more of seafood in tomato soup. My wife ordered artichoke chicken with a Greek salad. She said it was alright, except for the fact that the salad was served on the same plate as the warm chicken. Usually salads are separated from hot food. My parents both got a deep fried offering from the menu. My mom got the prawns(6 large ones) and my dad got the deep fried platter. Both were satisfied with their choices as they both got quite a bit of food. We finished it off with beignets, which everyone enjoyed. Like I said the server was very distant and we had to ask for water, napkins etc. There is quite a large menu, and as the food was not too bad but just lacking in a couple areas we will be back to give this place another shot. Hopefully it was just an off day...

    My wife enjoyed her wine and salmon. I had the swordfish. Both were good. The potatoes and veggies were well prepared. Service was great. Casual and comfortable environment.

    Dry, tough and sad

    The last few times I had dined at the hook, the food was good. However this last time it was not. This is a cautionary tale not to order the halibut and chips. For the price they charge. I expected the fish to be fresh, which it was clearly not. I have never seen halibut that thin in my entire life. I believe I paid twenty eight dollars and change for the meal and had better halibut and chips at a drive through burger joint, where I paid sixteen dollars. Not just a little bitter, but far superior which is quite a shame. I took 2 bites and chucked the whole meal.

    Restaurant wasn't crowded when I arrived and I was seated quickly. Server was nice but it did take a while for me to get the check at the end of dinner. Salmon corn chowder - this was okay. I've had better for this area. There was a good amount of salmon in there. The Hook Platter - sampler of 2 fried oysters, 2 fried shrimp, and one piece each of fried halibut, cod, salmon. The oysters were the best (should have just ordered that by itself). Then the jumbo prawns and cod were good. The halibut and salmon were too dry. I don't think they are good deep fried (especially fry salmon). I ordered their fruity punch. Too tangy and not enough bubbles.

    Strawberry Italian soda
    Kelly H.

    This place was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint! It was a busy Saturday night, but we got seated right away so that was a plus. The interior was a mix between a restaurant and sports bar with lots of seating. We shared the honey sriracha brussel sprouts, small greek salad, gyro, alfredo linguine, and strawberry italian soda. The portions were huge, especially my alfredo linguine... so I ended up taking leftovers home. I loved how cheesy the pasta was. Our server was very friendly throughout the night and always checked up on us. He also comped our dessert because our food took a while to come out so we really appreciated that! I would definitely come back again :)

We ordered an abundant spread, and every dish impressed. The clear crowd favorite was the Singapore black pepper prawns - fragrant, perfectly spiced, and completely addictive. That black pepper sauce was hands down the star of the meal: rich, peppery, and deeply flavorful. It was my favorite and could easily be eaten on everything. The Mala curry crab and XO crab were both outstanding; layered with complex, indulgent flavors. The Thai green chili clams and saus mentega clams were vibrant and comforting, while the crab fried rice had generous morsels of crab folded throughout the dish. We also really enjoyed the Indonesian chicken wings, which were crispy and flavorful, and the stir-fried vegetables, which added a fresh, well-balanced contrast to the seafood-heavy menu. Everything traveled well, was thoughtfully prepared, and made for an unforgettable catered meal. If you're considering catering from Marimakan Crabhouse, I can't recommend it highly enough. Get the black pepper sauce! Amazing from start to finish, and Chef V or Rachel is lovely to work with.

The waitress we had was very friendly and attentive throughout our time here. Both the bathroom & main eating area were very clean & organized. I ordered the shellfish platter and my husband ordered the steak pho. Both were delicious! I'm very picky with pho and I usually have my expectations very low so I don't get disappointed. The broth was absolutely delicious and doesn't need any additional hoisin sauce/other sauces/seasonings. My seafood platter was deliciously seasoned and tasted like very authentic Louisiana seafood boils. I did under estimate the spice level when I chose "hot" as my seasoning level but definitely was still very tasty & enjoyable! After we paid our bill, we met the owner of the restaurant. I told her it was my birthday and she gave us a free order of beignets with ice cream! When she brought it out, they played Happy Birthday on their tv. So cute & thoughtful! This was my first time having beignets and was very pleased! This will not be our last time visiting.

I ordered a side of the extra hot and it was good, while not too spicy the build up definitely would be. We will be back to try more than just the seafood boil next time.

    In short We haven't had this kind of shopping around here,…read morelet alone focused in one store. This is where you get the super-nice meat and fish that supermarkets and big-box stores don't have. And their house-made fish dips are amazing. In long It's a little strip mall by the Speedway that would be kinda sleepy except for the drive-through coffee line constantly forming around the whole building. E&O have the end unit. You walk in to a shelf full of solid-value wines, mostly local, aimed to pair with whatever you might take home with you to cook. The ceilings are high, and the walls and floors are all spotless white. No decorations, very little merchandising, if any. There's a long butcher case on the left full of all kinds of crazy treats. Prawns the size of bratwursts. Steaks, roasts, different fish. They skip most of the stuff that supermarkets carry and focus only on more-specialty stuff. Their stock is either a nicer version or it's something that's unavailable elsewhere. You do pay for quality like this on some of the stuff, but if you're cooking a meal you're really looking forward to, the value makes it reasonable. Not everything is expensive, either. They had fresh lemons on the case for 40% less than the supermarket up the street. They had reds, whites, bubblies, and pinks in the wine section with every bottle under $20. And those fish dips, man. I'm surprised they don't sell out by afternoon every day. We had wild salmon and black cod dips before dinner last night, and both were fantastic. They're very well balanced, so maybe you could add hot sauce or fresh herbs to taste, but we've had them several times and never felt compelled to tune them up. The dudes behind the butcher case have decades of industry experience, and they couldn't be nicer, more patient, or more helpful. I love shopping here.
