As a restaurant manager, I can’t say enough great things about Hook’s. Absolutely great customer service. When I mentioned I was new to the area and NOLa cuisine, the gentleman behind the counter recommended a half catfish/half shrimp po’ boy. It was spot on the best po’ boy I’ve had in New Orleans so far. Not to mention, some of the best fries you will ever eat. Their secret? Lemon pepper salt seasoning that absolutely kicks these crispy spuds up a notch. Great price for what you get, as well. You also get a soda with your order which makes it a great deal. Clean on the inside and even the bathroom was in tip top shape. So far, I’ve eaten at Hook’s more than any other place in town since I moved here.

I first came to Hooks after an Über driver suggested I go there when I first moved in to the neighborhood. He said I could get the best Philly Cheese Steak of my life there. He was right. They are absolutely mouth watering delicious. The bread is crispy on the out side, soft in the middle. You get that crunch in your first bite followed by an ooey gooey drip of cheese, peppers, onions, and chopped beef. You will make a mess when eating this thing. It’s massive, on 12 inch poboy bread. I make two meals out of this thing every time I get it. I save the other have for later and throw it in the oven when I’m ready for more. Two satisfying meals for 9 bucks? You can’t beat it. The owner takes great pride in this one particular sandwhich. Hes been perfecting it for nearly a decade. He and his staff are always welcoming and friendly. Simply put, the people and Philly Cheese Steak at Hooks are the Bomb.

Didn’t want to wait in line an hour for Willie Mae’s so we stopped here… glad we did! The portions are huge; we were starving and didn’t come close to finishing. I suggest buying 1 entrée and splitting it(cause you are going need a piece of cake). We got catfish, shrimp, wings, fries and OkrA. It was all great! The batter is perfectly seasoned and extra crispy. The shrimp tasted super fresh and those wings! The only complaint was that the hush puppies were under cooked. Everything comes sprinkled w a delicious white powdery seasoning which I’m sure they could bottle and make a fortune. The red velvet cake was the perfect finish!

They have the best wings in the city. The seafood and burgers are amazing. You can tell the staff care about what kind of food they are serving the customer. The seasoning they used should be bottled and sold. The gentleman who work there are extremely friendly. I always feel like I am with family every time I walk in. The prices are great.

Just give these guys your money already. My favorite place for fried fish and chicken in the city. If you’re looking for a place to start, order one of the Hooks it up Platters, but you really can’t go wrong with anything here. 10 stars!

Fried conch as someone else said! Also, good fresh seafood that doesn’t cost a fortune. My food was really good, but my friend said his fish wasn’t cooked well. My husband loved his food as well. I really like the staff. They are friendly and let us try things before we bought them. We ended up spending about $ 80 for the veritable mountain of food we bought, so the try it first policy worked well :) I’ll definitely be back to get more of this not healthy at all but super tasty fried seafood :)

Fried Conch!!! Enough said… It is really good and nicely seasoned. I get it weekly. The shrimp are huge and the snapper is just as tasty.

Total sweet peas working there, the price is nice and the frozen lemonade is so goood and homemade it has seeds in it. Also those jalapeño poppers are delish. You can check out their promotional video on YouTube with pictures of their food and a cool Dub step soundtrack! Thanks for the yummy food Hook’s

We were visiting New Orleans & wanted some good fish & chips, so of course we looked to Unilocal for expertise. Hooks received the highest stars & reviews so we started walking from the French Market. Wow… NOT A GOODIDEA! I highly recommend a cab! Upon arriving we were told the Unilocal menu was out of date, they didn’t have fish & chips, cod, Cole slaw or many others. We ordered catfish & fries, which was cooked to perfection! Although it should’ve been after 15 min. Everyone was very nice. Not in the best part of town tho or what it seemed on the site. But good food.

Great Good for an amazing price… I had the fish on bun and it was so good. The portion size is amazing for the price. I would take my family here and friends. Only Con, I feel the restaurant could be cleaner but other than that. Great !!!

Best fried seafood in New Orleans! I called ahead, my order was ready when I got there! The fries were seasoned and the fish was crispy and perfect! The portions were nice, and I expect to return, soon!

Stopped in for a quick meal while I was in the area and it was just ok. My dad, sister and I got a fish plate and chicken tender plate. The pieces were huge but not that flavorful. It was obvious the fish was frozen since it was lacking flavor big time. Served with unsalted fries the chicken tenders were three real tenderloin strips that looked very good. Another draw back is that they do not have a drink fountain so if you eat in you have to buy a can drink. Overall if you need something to ease that fried food craving this is your spot if your in the 7th ward area but don’t expect anything amazing.

Just left Hooks and had to write about this place! I was born and raised in Philadelphia and this place had the most amazing philly cheesesteak I’ve ever had! Customer service was amazing! Coleslaw was one of a kind!

I went back one night just because it was the only open restaurant nearby near 11 pm. I ordered red fish and chicken wings without breadding and substituted fries and breads with salad. Meanwhile, I asked them about the coleslaw. I was told that they ran out of coleslaw the other day so they gave double fries(without telling me about this substitution). They could have asked me before they did that… I’d have gotten a salad instead. They ran out of coleslaw this day, too. Maybe they need to make it enough to last their declared closing time. When the order came out, the fries were substituted with some salad veggies. They still gave me breads and did not give me any substitution for the coleslaw. The fried fish was good and chicken wings were also good, still… I don’t know if I’ll go back if I can’t get what I want correctly.
