Amazing home town diner. You will look a long time before you find a gem like this one. Friday fish day is out of this world. Try the Buffalo fish. Sides are great, and can't stop eating the hushpuppies.
The Hook makes you feel like family, and it’s in a nice small town where everyone knows everyone, but it’s always busy with locals and a few outsiders, but no matter how busy, food is always delivered quickly, and always tastes phenomenal. I always wanna give a shoutout to the wait staff that always remembers I use A1 for my sandwiches and fries, and they always have it on standby!! 11/10, you gotta try The Hook

Stopped for a quick bite. Grabbed a cheese burger and fries. It was a real hamburger not to be found in a fast food restaurant. Fries could have been a little more crisp but they were done. Will be going back to eat their real food.

The juiciest & greasily satisfying cheeseburger. The bun was slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Oh and the BEST homemade onions rings!!!!

Great food, great atmosphere, the local community treat us hunting guides who come in from out of state to guide deer hunts like one of their own. Staff and the cooks treat everyone who walks through the doors like family. I recommend them for your next dinning experience in Pike County Illinois 100%

The Hook burger was very good. We just got take out as we were on our way to Pittsfield Lake campground, but the girl taking our order and running the register was great, she knew everyone by name! We didn't try it but one of the local customers said their fish is great too.

Used to be Fat Boy's the last time I ate there. We went with friends and enjoyed the Friday night fish fry. Nightly specials. Homemade dessert.
