We never had an empty platter (at least until we said when). I will continue coming with my family throughout the year.“

“My daughter and I had an incredible dining experience at Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar, all thanks to our amazing waitress, Joanne! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and an infectious energy that set the tone for the whole meal. Her patience was remarkable, especially when we had a few questions about the menu, and she offered insightful, accurate recommendations that truly made our meal memorable. Not only was she knowledgeable about the dishes, but her sense of humor made the experience so much fun! She was so personable, treating us like old friends rather than just customers. On top of that, her level of customer service was top-notch—attentive without being overbearing, and always checking in at the right moments. We truly appreciated the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism she brought to the table, and it really elevated our time at Hook & Reel. My daughter and I will definitely be returning, and we’ll be hoping to see her again!“

“Great seafood and great service provided by Josh Z!“

“My first time at this restaurant for a fabulous shared birthday party. It was amazing. Not only the party and the staff, but the cuisine! ❤️ The appetizers (some of the freshest, delecate, perfectly prepared calamari), desserts (all amazing), main dishes (I had the salmon...yum!), but that salad dressing!!! It is the most delicious, freshest of flavors! Many of us purchased a bottle to bring home (I live in another state) and enjoy it immensely. i wished I lived nearby. I highly recommend this amazing place!“

“Wonderful food and service. We all had different dinners off the menu. The French onion soup was some of the best I had. We walked in and were met with smiles and seated fast with no reservations.“

“I came here after hiking Great Falls, I’m from NC and I’m not used to such a great dining experience!“

“The best part of it was the bang bang shrimp. The rest of the food was OK. I have been there before, but I think they change the chef.“

“Great service. Best crabs I’ve had all year- big & full!“

“Great servers! This was a great surprise to find this place so far south from Maine.“

“Got the classic roll. It was on the smaller side but I really liked the simplicity of it. I found other places to overpower their roll with too much butter and/or mayo. I felt like this place didn't do that so it really highlighted the flavor of the lobster.“

“Fish and chips are awesome. Shrimp skewer is delicious. Good value for the price.“

“La comida muy deliciosa, a nuestro gusto con buenos precios muy económicos.!! Mi platillo especial la carne al espetón … hecho al carbón 😋.. se la Recomiendo.!!“

“Miguel was a phenomenal waiter. Always suggesting a great option for the next course. Food was amazing 🤩 great flavor! Crab cake was a good amount of lump crab. Short ribs were top notch. The drinks were made with a generous pour as well. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.“

“The BEST VALUE all-you-can-eat place! Excellent, fresh food and clean!!! (even their women's bathroom is clean!) And great services, especially Amy! By the way, it is hard for me to believe this restaurant does not get 5 stars! We travel all the way from VA to this place at least two times a month. We just love it!!! P.S. I read the reviews that did not give them 5 stars and feel those reviews may not be fair to them. As an example, one review gave them a 4-star commenting food is great, quality is great, but expensive. Yes, if you compare this place with most cheap Chinese all you can ear places, $33 does seem expensive. However, fresh and high-quality food cost me. I am willing to pay extra for good, fresh food. As another example, I was shocked to see a review giving them only 3 stars commenting she got sick (even though she said she loved the food there). I was wondering if she did not cook her food well in the hot pot, or she couldn't handle the spices.“

“Ordered Uber Eats Restaurant at Seafood in the Buff They are my new Go-To for Quarantine Seafood! I am a very very picky eater when eating out and I don’t eat everybodies’ Food! Seafood In The Buff Wheaton Location had Superb Food that is very Fresh, Moist & cooked to perfection. We had THE BEST, I repeat The Best Fried Crocker & Shrimp Platter w/Cole Slaw & Broiled Salmon. Their Potatoe Salad mmm Great! Delivery Price was expensive though. They have Cameron’s beat hands down!“

“I stopped in for a late lunch. The food was fresh and delicious. Considering how nice the restaurant is, the prices are fair. I ordered a beet salad and added shrimp to it. My only complaint is that i wish it had more greens. The dressing was delightful. I loved the selection of mini desserts. The wait staff were all very kind and checked in to see if we were satisfied or needed anything. The atmosphere was also really nice.“

“I never write reviews. This is actually my first one ever. But I just had too for this restaurant. Came in today with a friend for lunch. We were new to the restaurant and the server took time to answer all our questions with great detail about the menu. Food came out fresh and piping hot. I had the build my own bowl option which was delicious and the portion fed me for two meals. Also sampled the empanadas which were also delicious. Made sure to write down the restaurant name and location as I will be back. Delicious food!!!!! Highly recommend!!!“

“Can't say enough good things about Wings on Deck! Everything on the menu is fabulous and the food is clearly made with love. What's more - all the staff, from Sid the chef onwards, are super warm and welcoming to everyone. They also recently did a special catering order for us for a private event and knocked it out of the park. They were super easy to work with and you know how sometimes large quantity catering isn't as good as regular small orders? Not at Wings on Deck. Their catering, from wings to whiting to mac and cheese, was all superb. Our guests all said they were the best wings in DC. Such a great neighborhood establishment, great people, and great food!“

“Really good food and great service. They let my wife and I bring our own cake to celebrate our anniversary. They even asked if we needed it refrigerated

Update Jan 2026. I ordered for takeout. By the time I put my parking spot number in the app, there's was already somebody out there waiting for me. It was sooooo fast!“

“I think what stood out even more than the food was the attentive and caring service. I visited with my two kids, and it was clear that the staff genuinely took the time to recommend dishes and check what we wanted.
The pho here is reasonably priced and tastes great. The drinks were delicious, and the crepes were freshly made and very good as well. I’ll definitely be back to try more items on the menu next time.“
