Hooked was a nice, classy, seafood restaurant one street of the boardwalk. The service was good, Emily was attentive and suggestive to the table the entire time. The other restaurant staff appeared to be standing around; sometimes to many staff for the space in the restaurant. The food was delicious… ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Took a while to be served but the quality definitely matched the service time. One thing that stood out to me was happy hour, good drinks and good deals. Note: only 3 deviled eggs come with the happy hour menu; that’s 1/2 slices of egg for $4 (delicious but not worth it)
Overall I recommend the fish taco, chicken sandwich, wings, and crushes.
Definitely give them a visit!

Stopped here on a whim as the overview and ratings seemed positive. Wow! Everything was amazing! This is my new favorite restaurant, possibly of all time. What a gem! Thank you!! Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the locally sourced ingredients on the menu.

It was our first time here at this restaurant. It was highly recommended to us and I’m glad we came here. The atmosphere, the service and the food were just amazing. The crab cake, the wings, the pesto fries, their burger; even the focaccia bread with old bay olive oil was amazing. We also celebrated our son’s 13th birthday and they were so kind to bring out a key lime cheese cake with candles. I highly recommend Hooked to anyone visiting here. I shall return!
