I feel like they treat me special. It's probably my smile... Or maybe that I spend a lot in there. IDC either way
Vegetarian options: Onion rings are like uh award winning. Just make sure you get the lemon pepper. Hook fish can brighten the darkest of days.
Parking: It's just a good ole fresh cooked food restaurant that ain't expensive.
Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right on in. If u did have trouble the owner would come out and help you in any way needed.

There’s something comforting about Hook Fish & Chicken, something honest. It’s one of those places where nothing’s new, nothing’s polished, and somehow, that’s what makes it feel real. Like every old mark and faded corner holds the stories of people who’ve come and gone. It feels like street food from another country, the kind of shop you’d go to because it just does things right.
I come at noon, like always, catching their Lunch Special. A few cars out front, a couple of familiar faces at the counter, and a man, Middle Eastern, I think, greets me with the most expressionless gesture. I go with combo number 1 like I always do.
The waiting area’s nearly empty, save for a handful of chairs meant for people passing through. Everyone here is quiet, purposeful. They’re here to grab their food and go, without any need for small talk. I find that I like this unspoken understanding; it gives the place a feeling of calm, almost like being surrounded by people who, like me, come here for the simplicity.
It only takes about 10 minutes for my order to arrive, hot and fragrant, and as soon as I open it, I know I’ll find exactly what I came for. The tilapia is golden-crisp on the outside and tender within, with just enough salt, lime, and pepper. No strange taste, just that fresh flavor that tells me they care about what they serve. The shrimp, too, has this touch of sweetness, tasting as if it came from the ocean straight to my plate. And the fries, perfectly seasoned and fried to a crisp, rivaling even McDonald’s.
I savor each bite, and only after I finish do I notice the free Coke on the side. A few sips cleanse my palate, refreshing me of the lingering fishy aftertaste of seafood.
Places like this remind me of what matters in a restaurant: food that’s fresh, cooked with care. I can never understand people who write off a place like this because of a clerk’s facial expression or attitude. To me, Hook Fish & Chicken has its own quiet charm, and every time I leave, I feel grateful that some things, at least, stay the same.
Ordered twice in a week and both were good.
Love their chicken tenders 😋
