“This is a great establishment when it comes to downtown Boston eating. The food is well prepared, although not very filling (jambalaya being a delicious exception).The popcorn shrimp was not a traditional one. However, it was still good nonetheless.The shrimp and grits were great, although the grits were quite creamy, more than is typical in grits. The shrimp was quite honestly amazing and a great part of this meal.The jambalaya looked and tasted delicious with a great blend of flavours. The service and atmosphere were great. However, the washroom was in a weird basement in which you had to take an elevator to. The place was overall great eating, and I absolutely would recommend it.5/5“
“Our server, Sun, was fantastic!! He made our experience at Main st location 100% enjoyable. The service was perfect and food was delicious. They even have adult caprisun, and we tried Finding Nemo and Mr.Rich. A must try! Definitely recommend everyone to dine here:) Thank you Sun!“
“The truth is that it is a place of 10 points, obviously you have to understand that the idea is to "eat with your hands."The food tasted excellent, especially the fried crab and lobster. The fries that accompanied the crab were incredible.The service was super good with us always with a smile and friendly.Obviously you have to keep in mind that some dishes are a little spicy (nothing excessive) and that they are eaten with your hands (with gloves that they give you in the place), if you like this you definitely have to go.Highly recommended.“
“This was a brand new spot for our family. Food was good, but honestly didn't give a Cajun seafood boil experience vibe. We got a tilapia fish sandwich with fries and salt and pepper shrimp mild and egg rolls with fried clay bellies a side of rice and beverages. The salt and pepper shrimp 10/10 the other food was okay. Wish I could say more. And it was cold inside since it was winter time so bring a jacket or two when dining in.“
“Overall rating: 5 stars, a hidden gem in Boston and my absolute favorite for seafood boilFood: seafood boil, calamari, noodles, we got the combo bag which could either be purchased in 1/2 pound bags or 1 pound bags. Our combo bag had shrimp, king crab legs, mussels, potatoes, and corn.Texture: the house Cajun sauce is gooey and delicious, it coats the seafood and sides beautifullyPricing: $35 for a half pound bag (you get a half pound of chosen seafood) Ambiance: There isn't much for ambiance, a few nautical inspired decor. The windows face Boston Common and lets a good amount of light inSeating & Parking: lots of seating, it's located above a cafe, no parking spacesService: straight forward!Music: pop and countryBathrooms: men and women bathroomsFinal comments: move favorite seafood boil spot, they empty your seafood boil into trays for easiest access“
“If you like shellfish you'll love this place!! Take out or eat in!! The service is quick down to a system from the host to waitstaff to the kitchen!! This place cater to a mix of young adults and young professionals. It can get pretty busy and there maybe a waiting list expected at peak hour but it's worth the wait. The bathroom is clean and the decor is pretty basic.“
“Great place for an intimate dining experience. The environment was small and comfortable. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly. The food was increadibly fresh. It was also delivered fast, hot, and as ordered.Might I add that the Strawberry Margarita was amazing. Must try the onion rings. The breading is unmatched. We will definitely return. Great gem in Somerville. Check em out!“

“The place is very clean and the service is very attentive and friendly. I ordered a pound of snow crab and shrimp. The snow crab was very big. Their sauce is so juicy and delicious, it was a great experience for me. I will try their other seafood next time.“
“I went to Hook & Reel on Friday (2/9/24) with my boyfriend and we had a waitress by the name of Besty….OMG she was awesome. She was so pleasant and nice and all smile, even when my boyfriend insisted on trying the crab meat fries and then after getting them he was not a fan of them, she took them away with a smile on her face and let us know it was taken off of the bill. She asked us how our food was and just made sure we was taken care of and happy while eating there. Besty is definitely an assist to the restaurant and if she can get a raise she deserves one, she ROCKS!!!! Go head Besty ( I wish I could spell her real name) lol“
