“Hook's BBQ is a bit hard to find, but once you find it, you will be glad that you did. There was adequate parking and walking in, I approached the counter and placed my order to the friendly woman behind the cash register. After ordering. I found a seat and waited for my name to be called. The inside has the ambiance that you would expect from a barbecue place. Soon enough my name was called and I received my meal. I had ordered the large pulled pork and for my two sides. I went with French fries and baked beans. It also came with two pieces of bread and pound cake. I opted for the hot barbecue sauce. All in all, I was impressed with my meal. It was good and it was pretty competitively priced. Hook's BBQ is a great place to have a meal if you are in the Hoover, Alabama area. I would definitely recommend here and give it five stars.“
“The wings are served with Alabama white barbecue sauce but they can go without the sauce because they are flavorful to the bone. The baked beans (sweet and spicy just the way I like it), fried corn, collard greens and cornbread were on point. I definitely will be going back.“
“The BBQ and service are outstanding. The chicken has great smoke flavor. The sides are basic, but the chicken makes up for it.It does house a barroom with pool tables. The entire place has a very strong cigarette smell. Take note, if this is a concern for you. The restroom is adequate.“
“Stopped for lunch and a road break on the way elsewhere. It's not "fast food", as a sign in the restaurant plainly informs patrons. Delicious, tho. I ordered chicken and dumplings (daily lunch special) and it was, indeed, special. In the very best possible way. Lots of pulled chicken, both dark and light meat, and the dumplings WERE NOT repurposed canned biscuit dough. IOW, just like Granny used to make it. Yum. Devoured it. Spouse ordered pulled pork barbeque sandwich (which I sampled) and it was also delicious. I chuckled when I read a review comparing the BBQ poorly with Texas. Texas barbeque is called a "cinder" where I come from in Memphis, 'cause we know what to do with a pig in Memphis. ;-) BTW, the place was packed with locals. That's a five-star review right there.“
“Everything was so good, from the smoky velvety and tender chicken quarter to the snappy and slightly sweet coleslaw to the mustard and again a little sweet potato salad, and the typical but perfect banana pudding. Service was good and quick. Only bad thing I would have to say about the place is that the restroom was not as orderly as it could have been, but it was clean. Oh, and the parking lot could be a menace if you drive too fast, so watch out! Definitely would go back again!“
