“Me and my partner have been coming here for years cause the food is just unmatched, period. We’re from about 4 hours away and dropped like $200 just for us because we got food and several drinks while we were there AND got plates to go if that tells you anything, Lol. The food isn’t expensive by any means but we was being greedy Lol. Anyway, we came this time to get food to go and end up stopping by the bar. So so so glad we did because Kirsten was a wholeeee vibe. She was so attentive, great energy, great conversation, and the drinks!! Girlfriend can hook a drink up! She made our day with her great service! We always come back here but next time we’re definitely coming to see Kirsten.“

“I don’t normally do reviews but I had to this time, so my cousin came from Mexico last week, she doesn’t understand nor speak any English other than the basics, I was parking my car and told her to go ask the cashier for a large fry until I come in, by the time I came in I saw my cousin typing on someone’s phone, it seems that the cashier had gave her own phone to understand what she was saying, this is the second time I came here, last time the other cashier had turned another customer as they don’t speak Spanish but this cashier went out of her way to help her, it made me a little emotional. ? her hair is big just like her personality! Beautiful soul inside out ? The food was good ? ???? I love the lemon pepp wings here!“

“Had a great Saturday night before a holiday party. Service at the bar was excellent. Four starts because the menu could use a few more vegetable options. Smoked fish dip was too creamy and that drowned the taste of the dish in the dip. Oysters were insanely good.
That said, cocktails and the bartender were excellent. Beautiful decor too.“

“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!“

“Born and raised in southeast Texas and been here about six months. I’ve been missing Cajun food. We got the catfish poboy with fries, side of beans and rice, and New Orleans BBQ shrimp. Everything hit the mark. The bread and New Orleans shrimp tasted exactly how they should, perfect. Beans were soft and flavorful with shredded meat and sausage in there. Wish the catfish was seasoned a little more but that’s probably just my preference.
Hope to try the beignet fries if they bring them back.“

“Intimate setting with spectacular jazz music. Recommend researching acts before buying tickets and be prepared to stand in line before the show. First come first serve for best seating. Food and drinks aren't great but the atmosphere and music more than make up for it.“

“Been coming here for years and the crabs are always fantastic. Not super busy but deserves way more business. Everyone who works there is so nice and attentive. Love it here. Might be pricey but that’s just how crabs are in general. 100% deserves your business“

“I remember coming here many years ago, and returned for the first time today after being away from the immediate area for a while.
The owner provided very friendly service as well as his other staff. He was very patient in informing me of the available meal options, and allowed me to sample the chicken items that I was interested in
The location appeared to be very clean as well, 5 Star service all around.“

“It is a very unassuming location. Parking is challenging in the front, and I strongly encourage you to park in the back. We had dinner at the bar, and our bartender was amazing, very personable, friendly, and made phenomenal drinks. Food came out relatively quickly. The side dishes were great, and the oxtail dish was delicious. The downside with my fried fish was that it was too salty. The fish was well prepared and flakey, but the seasoning had too much salt, and unfortunately, the remaining spices couldn't balance it out. They have fair prices and will certainly return for dinner.“

“Last Friday, my best friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a night out, and after hearing so many great things, we landed on Hot N Juicy Crawfish. Let me just say—this place lives up to the hype and then some!
The moment we walked in, we were hit with the lively, no-frills vibe of the restaurant. Tables were covered in plastic (a sign that things were about to get messy—in the best way possible), and the staff was quick to greet us with big smiles. They handed us bibs and gloves, and we immediately felt like we were in for an authentic seafood boil experience.
We went all out and ordered “The Drool” with the famous Hot N Juicy sauce in medium heat. It came loaded with shrimp (heads on, as the sauce clings to the shells better), crawfish, mussels, and crab legs. The sauce was rich, garlicky, and perfectly spiced—just thick enough to coat every bite without overpowering the delicate seafood flavors.
The shrimp were plump and juicy, the crawfish seasoned to perfection, and the crab legs? Meaty and tender, just the way they should be. We also couldn’t resist an order of Cajun calamari on the side, which was crispy, flavorful, and a great complement to the boil.
What stood out most was the freshness of everything—it felt like the ocean had come to the table. We didn’t leave a single morsel behind!
Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed—extra gloves, napkins, and plenty of wet wipes for the aftermath of our seafood feast. They even offered tips on how to crack open the crab legs efficiently, which made the experience even more fun.
By the end of the meal, we were covered in sauce, grinning ear to ear, and marveling at how satisfying the night had been. But instead of going straight home, we decided to wind down with Pull Up DC’s “Mango Madness” strain. It was the perfect way to cap off the evening—relaxing, uplifting, and just the right vibe to keep the good times rolling.
Hot N Juicy Crawfish isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. From the finger-licking-good seafood to the fun, laid-back atmosphere, it’s a place that brings people together over incredible food. Whether you’re a die-hard seafood fan or just someone looking for a unique dining adventure, this spot is a must-visit.
Pro tip: Get the Hot N Juicy sauce, go big with your order, and don’t be afraid to get messy—it’s all part of the fun. And for an even better ending to your night, make a stop by Pull Up DC to keep the good vibes flowing. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!“

“I have visited this restaurant several times and I would definitely recommend it! The one person who stands out is the restaurant manager, Miss Jenny! She is so friendly and polite, she is just wonderful. It is thanks to her and the wonderful staff that I will now and in future visit their restaurant. This is the best seafood restaurant in Maryland! Thank you Jenny.“

“What a nice meal! We ordered our meal to go and it took about a half hour to prepare. I got the Ocean Catch #A, which came in a big plastic bag! Perfectly cooked crab legs and shrimp and the seafood legend sauce was very tasty - it tasted like a mix of Cajun seasoning, garlic and butter. I got the mild spice level, which was flavorful but not hot. The potato and corn that it came with were also good. The seafood catches and boils seen to be the specialty and mine was worth the money. My husband's salmon was good but unexciting and would have benefited from some of the same seasoning as mine. It was also a small portion for the price. However, his New England clam chowder was thick and flavorful. My five year old had the fried white fish and seemed content with it. Although we did not eat in the restaurant, it was well decorated and looked inviting - hopefully I will be able to eat there in person soon! On a side note, they also have bubble tea, which was delicious!“

“The Cori Midden Kitchen is a quintessential American restaurant that offers an intimate and cozy dining experience akin to a homey dining room. The exceptional customer service, coupled with food cooked from scratch, made our brunch visit with a large party quite memorable. Our waiter, Cathy, provided attentive service, ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal. We indulged in a variety of brunch items, with favorites including the catfish nuggets and cornbread, alongside lamb chops(small lamb chops), deviled eggs, and fried tomatoes. For our entrees, the shrimp omelette, French toast, chicken and waffles, and catfish and grits were all exquisite. Despite a few minor mishaps, the overall experience was delightful, and I highly recommend this establishment for its delicious food. It was a nice touch when the chef personally greeted our table, adding to the warmth of the experience. Advisable to book your reservation in advance, I look forward to returning in the future.“

“worst service ever. My family and I actually had to walk out and we were a group of 10. They did not want to serve us and I was told I should of made reservations. I watched the waitress/server clean other people’s table and completely ignore us. A customer who was a regular had to wipe down my table for us (I should’ve walked out then )but we drove an hour to come here And we were trying to just deal with the poor customer service so we can eat. Customers that were seated after us were able to order before us and receive their food. when we finally had the opportunity to order food we were told that they were out of oxtails pork and fish which made no sense because people were still ordering takeout for the same items we were trying to order.. You would think we were sitting there for free meals. The waitress told me she was going to the back to check to see what they have but when she came back she went to the bar area and started taking someone else’s orders and completely ignored us .We ended up walking out with no apology given. She Just looked at us as if she was happy to see us go because she couldn’t handle a table size of 10 people. All we were trying to do was support our Haitians. Its a shame we were treated so poorly. I suggested this restaurant to my family who drove an hour to be treated so poorly .Do not visit this restaurant“

DJ was definitely popping and the customers/ people were friendly. Strongly recommended🦾🦾🦾“
