“Returned to an old fave (with my ?% favorite gal ❣️ after pandemic and other earth-shaking happenings... True comfort food - immediately familiar, and as good as ever - and comfortable, with the oldies I can discern even through the low roar of conversation - All this after more than a year away: Boom!Aaah! Now THAT'S what I call "Back to Normal"!“
“Best dish here was the Bananas Foster Bread pudding. Service was mediocre, sat quickly, but attention was slack. Food was OK. Barely could hear the music. A bit smaller than what it portraits.Wheelchair accessibility: Be prepared to sit in the back almost shoulder to shoulder with another table.“
“Our server, Sun, was fantastic!! He made our experience at Main st location 100% enjoyable. The service was perfect and food was delicious. They even have adult caprisun, and we tried Finding Nemo and Mr.Rich. A must try! Definitely recommend everyone to dine here:) Thank you Sun!“
“The service was great! We were amazed by how sweet the workers were! Food was great of course! I love me a seafood boil! Usually it’s the service that makes or break my experience and it was definitely made by the two workers there tonight! So not come here if you’re going to be mean to the staff they deserve the world!“
“Overall rating: 5 stars, a hidden gem in Boston and my absolute favorite for seafood boilFood: seafood boil, calamari, noodles, we got the combo bag which could either be purchased in 1/2 pound bags or 1 pound bags. Our combo bag had shrimp, king crab legs, mussels, potatoes, and corn.Texture: the house Cajun sauce is gooey and delicious, it coats the seafood and sides beautifullyPricing: $35 for a half pound bag (you get a half pound of chosen seafood) Ambiance: There isn't much for ambiance, a few nautical inspired decor. The windows face Boston Common and lets a good amount of light inSeating & Parking: lots of seating, it's located above a cafe, no parking spacesService: straight forward!Music: pop and countryBathrooms: men and women bathroomsFinal comments: move favorite seafood boil spot, they empty your seafood boil into trays for easiest access“
“If you like shellfish you'll love this place!! Take out or eat in!! The service is quick down to a system from the host to waitstaff to the kitchen!! This place cater to a mix of young adults and young professionals. It can get pretty busy and there maybe a waiting list expected at peak hour but it's worth the wait. The bathroom is clean and the decor is pretty basic.“

“I went to Hook & Reel on Friday (2/9/24) with my boyfriend and we had a waitress by the name of Besty….OMG she was awesome. She was so pleasant and nice and all smile, even when my boyfriend insisted on trying the crab meat fries and then after getting them he was not a fan of them, she took them away with a smile on her face and let us know it was taken off of the bill. She asked us how our food was and just made sure we was taken care of and happy while eating there. Besty is definitely an assist to the restaurant and if she can get a raise she deserves one, she ROCKS!!!! Go head Besty ( I wish I could spell her real name) lol“
“Great place for an intimate dining experience. The environment was small and comfortable. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly. The food was increadibly fresh. It was also delivered fast, hot, and as ordered.Might I add that the Strawberry Margarita was amazing. Must try the onion rings. The breading is unmatched. We will definitely return. Great gem in Somerville. Check em out!“

“Tuesday 1/24/23 on my lunch break at work in beacon hill, ordering here for the first time . I went with the 5pc mix chicken with a honey biscuit, also ordered 3 honey biscuits side order. I got 2 thighs, 1breast, 1wing, 1drumstick. The chicken had a well balance seasoning, very crispy not covered in heavy batter, chicken was cooked fully and moist inside very tasty was very happy with the quality and tasty of chicken! The honey biscuits where delicious it was sweet with a glazed over the top they had blueberry’s inside and like a cake not dry and very good! If you haven’t tried this spot it’s a must TRY! I was very satisfied with my lunch and ready to get back to work from my half hour break. Check out my pictures below!“
“Awesome place. I took my family & we ordered a combination that came with an extraordinary variety of food. Huge portions of delicious snow crab, crayfish, shrimp, sausage, hard boiled eggs & corn on the cob, served together in a cooking bag within a large metal bowl. A pool of amazing juice sat at the bottom for dipping everything in. Be prepared for an awesomely fun messy experience. I've never seen crayfish so large. I'm used to seeing crayfish 3 to 4 inches long. King Crab's crayfish were so large that I initially thought I was looking at small lobsters. The place was very clean & sinks for hand washing are provided right in the dining area. Plastic bibs & gloves are provided. I give high ratings across the board: delicious food, large portions, great presentation, well-kept dining area & a ridiculously fun experience.“
