The Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar offers a mixed dining experience. While some customers praise the food, service, and atmosphere as "awesome" and "above and beyond," others find the dishes to be overly oily and lacking in authentic Cajun flavors. The calamari is also reported to be subpar. However, the bartender/waitress is consistently described as friendly, efficient, and a highlight of the dining experience.
The restaurant's signature dishes, such as the large oyster and shrimp combo boil in their Hook & Reel Special sauce, have been praised for their buttery and garlicky flavors with just enough spice. The corn and potatoes soak up the flavorful sauce perfectly, making it a great shared meal. The catfish po'boy, served on a soft roll with crispy Cajun fries, is also a customer favorite, with the fish being flaky and not greasy at all, and the fries dusted with flavorful seasoning.
The Combo B, featuring shrimp, mussels, and snow crab legs in the Hook & Reel Special sauce, is another popular choice, with customers noting that the seafood comes out hot and seasoned perfectly. The corn and potato also soak up the flavor well, and the service is reported to be quick.
