Really good chicken and really good Mac & cheese. I prefer hook fish & chicken over any other chicken spot in the area. They season the chicken and my order has never been wrong. They're also always friendly and quick. Highly recommend.

Since the newer ownership took over- This is my go to spot. ITs 2 blocks away. Everything is fresh. Whether it's Fried, steamed, or a gyro everythings on point here. I am addicted to the HOOK. I admit it! The owners are hilarious and kind. Last night I grabbed fried shrooms, fried oysters, a burger, chicken fingers, a gyro and a chicken philly. Cost was dirt cheap in comparison to other joints. You guys keep rocking HOOK!!!!!

Just stopped at Hooks in Avondale, got 6 wings for $10. When I got home to eat the fries were delicious. But the wings were really overcooked, to hard to enjoy. For years I have always enjoyed their food. I called to speak to owner and was told to bring the food back. It was thunderstorms and I don't live in Avondale. I asked for a credit but no luck.

The catfish nuggets were horrible - catfish thin tail pieces maybe what they were - fishy taste - and even at that more press than fish. Not what I expected when chose those for 50 cents more than the catfish filets I wish had gotten. The gizzards were very good though. Service was also very good - I had to do take out and was fast and good people, just missed seated hours.... But would note the location I went to had only one table.
First timer - I might try their catfish filets - will come back for the gizzardsHelpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ben B.Columbus, OH01Jan 18, 2024

The fish tasted odd. Not sure if it's a cleaning agent for the fish before it breaded. The French fries are crispy and warm. The mushroom are good. Service was friendly and quick. The drive thru pavement was bumpy. I didn't receive any napkins. Over all I'm not impressed.

A place in the hood for quick and/or late night eats that always hits the spot and doesn't break the bank . You can walk in but I always use the drive through. Call ahead and you don't have to wait. The staff are always respectful and I don't think I've ever had an order that was inaccurate. The lunch specials are really valuable. I don't eat chicken but my daughter has moved to Dayton and she practically has standing order for wings from Hooks when I drive out. My typical order is fried okra and whiting. They sprinkle done kind of lemon pepper on the okra and it makes them so tasty that they barely make it home. This is great place for fried food.

The food was very hot, temperature wise, which I love. It did take longer to cook than I expected but that was fine since the taste and quality was great. I liked the gyro the best. We did cod and chicken fingers too. The staff was great.
The quantity of food was excellent.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kimaya P.Cincinnati, OH39257152Aug 7, 2022
Quick and friendly service. I always order before I go so I've never waited longer than five mins.
Food is really good. I typically get the fish and chicken combo. The cat fish is great and not overdone which is so important. Chicken and fries are really good as well.
It's a really small place with a few places to sit as you wait for your food. There is also a drive thru, but I've never used it.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 11, 2018
The restaurant was recommended for fast takeout but definitely place your order ahead of time. The online ordering process is SUPER simple. I ordered several individual lunches and everything came out as ordered.
The fried fish was enjoyable while everything else was just okay.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Kellie C.Cincinnati, OH66333Jun 5, 2022
We ordered a thigh chicken dinner with lemon pepper seasoning with fries . A perch dinner with fries, a chicken gizzard dinner with coleslaw and an order of fried okra through Door Dash
They were out of thighs and subbed chicken wings. That would have been acceptable IF they would have been lemon pepper.
The perch dinner was definitely CATFISH! Catfish and anchovies are the only fish I will not eat SOOO that all went out in my back yard for the raccoons and opossums. They must have liked it since it was gone this morning.
The chicken gizzards were as tough as shoe leather and nothing even close to what you get from Lee's Famous Recipe. HOWEVER, they had a very good taste so in a weird way we actually liked them.
The fries were pretty good. I REALLY liked the cole slaw and my husband said the fried okra was good, but would prefer if we didn't order from this restaurant again. IF we do I know I will NOT order fish since I'm not going to take the chance of buying raccoons a $13.00 meal. I feed them all well enough.
IF we do order from there I will order shrimp or something that cannot be confused for something I will not eat.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
