Hook Fish & Chicken

I can only speak for the Philly cheese steak, which I loved. It has that perfect ratio of juicy steak and melty swiss that is the essence of this sandwhich. Plus the bread roll might have been the best I have had on a cheese steak. The onions were caramelized just enough and the peppers had a grilled flavor to them. I was wanting the 5.99 lunch special that includes fries and a drink, but the friendly cashier informed me that is for weekdays only. He gave it to me anyways! Everyone else I saw in there was eating or ordering the fried catfish, so I suspect it’s pretty good.

I thought this place was going to be a total DUMP. I thought it seemed super sketchy from the outside.
Edit: they have been cleaning up the outside! Keep up the good work.
I got in and tried it once though at the prompting of a friend, and I didn’t know what I was missing out on.
The food is HOT. The food is DELICIOUS. And the food is CHEAP.
I have probably been there 10 times now in a couple months (I work nearby) and have ordered just about everything off of the «Chicago Style Sandwhich» menu and I have never been disappointed. Whoever reviewed this place as a «ONE STAR»…I just don’t understand! I have been here like twice a week and its consistently delicious and did I mention cheap? I have been bringing my professional coworkers in and its our new favorite!
Thank you hooks!

If you’re hungry then stop by but for the most, the philly chicken was decent but similar to the philly I would get at the Racino In Monroe. I gave it a two because the interior is still decorated with decals from when it was a car dealership but a little bit of dusting wouldn’t hurt a bit.

Ok but the fish isn’t cooked hard enough. It’s also a bit pricey for greasy fast food. Ok but not «The Bomb».

A new location for the old wing joint!
Easily my favorite place for wings with a simple salt-​n-​pepper seasoning. These wings need nothing else. This place was designed for the purpose of ordering copious amounts of wings for your big party. They never get old. You can’t have enough.
Wings can be a bit pricey these days, but for my dollar this is my number one choice. Particularly if you are purchasing in large quantities.
I was sad to see them leave the College Hill area, but glad they aren’t gone for good. The new location in the Woodlawn area is conveniently located across from Glenwood Gardens at the confluence of Glendale-​Milford and the Pike.

Living in Glendale near Hook Fish & Chicken, I was excited to see a new business take over what had formerly been an empty boarded up business at the corner of Springfield Pike and Glendale-​Milford Rd. Unfortunately my family and I were disappointed with the food. Being from the South, I was glad to find a place in Cincinnati that actually had Fried Chicken Gizzards on the menu. Unfortunately their gizzards looked and had the texture of having been fried earlier in the day and they tasted like they had been fried in the same oil as the fish. The fried chicken tasted similar although they over do the «seasoning» and the chicken ended up being overly salty. Some of the chicken pieces were discolored dark and very dry like it had been sitting as well. Fried chicken should always be fried fresh in fresh oil, not recycled or reused oil especially from oil that was used to fry fish!
In future given I have to drive by them every day on the way home; I might give them another chance on something more basic like a burger or philly steak, although that would still be hard to do given their name includes «Fish & Chicken»?!

This is a new place that just opened a few weeks ago just down the street from my house. Thought that we would try it see how it is. It was way better then I was expecting it to be. The food was all made freash and to order. I had the philly steak with fries and an order of fried oakar. It was one of the better sandwiches i have had from most places. The service was good. The place is nothing to look at on the inside. a few things on the wall but thats about it. I could see this becoming a common stop for me.
