Off The Hook Seafood Restaurant

I haven't been here in a while but I wanted some good ole home cooking meal. What I got for $20 was def not worth the $.As you can see from the picture, I ordered the combo with clam strips and deviled crab with steamed cabbage and Brunswick stew. Let me say I ordered, picked up and was home to eat within 30 min. The Brunswick stew was cold. I had to dump it in a bowl and microwave it. Then the cabbage...they gave me two giant pieces of the core. After removing that, there were a few slices of cabbages left. Then...clam strips...omg, a tiny thin layer of clam strips. This meal made me laugh...how can a restaurant serve this to a customer. Absolutely unacceptable. Yes they show it to you at the restaurant before you leave. But I am not one to say..."that's it???" Is that the new normal? A tiny bit of food? The deviled crab had no crab, none, not even a sliver. Would I recommend? Most definitely not. Would I try again? Maybe...

We were given a GrubHub gift card as a sympathy gift and decided to order takeout from Off The Hook. My family and I have enjoyed their food over the years, despite a few hiccups. This evening's service and food quality negated all of our previous experiences.My order was thirty minutes later than the original promise time, and nearly one hour after I placed the order. I checked in when I arrived, so they knew I was there and waiting.My daughter's shrimp meal was lukewarm and soft. It was inedible. The green beans were all lukewarm and the grease was solidifying. My son's salmon was not cooked evenly. I ordered fried chicken - also lukewarm - and a salmon patty. The salmon patty was undercooked and had been sitting in the styrofoam so long it was a mushy mess (see picture).The restaurant is filthy these days, the floors look dirty. There was a silverware container sitting on the counter where customers were picking up to-go orders. The staff did not offer an apology for the wait, they never updated me on why it was taking so long. We will never, ever return here again.

Have gone to this place numerous times over the years, almost always getting take out. The food is always fresh and tasty at a reasonable price.

We are kicking ourselves for taking so long to try this adorable restaurant! It's like walking into your favorite hole-in-the-wall Southern beach calabash place.Everything we had was off-the-hook good! Fried Shrimp and Flounder with fries and clam chowder for Husband. Clam chowder is included as a side option and they even brought it to him before our entrees. That's Southern hospitality! They also brought terrific hush puppy rings right away.I prefer my seafood broiled or grilled and they even put some good seasoning on them. For my sides I had a baked potato and cooked cabbage. All terrific and I loved all three sauces that were in squeeze bottles on the table.Service was also great! Those Gals couldn't have been more charming or helpful. And you can't beat the prices for this kind of quality! Note: it's a small restaurant. We went at an off time on a Sunday so it wasn't crowded, but it was sure picking up by the time we left.

For a local seafood place, it's fine, ambiance is kinda old. Food is decent and prices are ok. Staff is friendly.

Everything was lovely ! It was an impulse stop for lunch after leaving the VA office in Wake Forest . From the moment we stepped in the door until we left it was such a pleasant experience !

Big Disappointment We have been looking for a good seafood restaurant since moving to Franklin County from Little River, SC a few months ago. Discovered Off the Hook online and could not wait to give it a try. WOW! What a letdown! We approached the dinner with a lot of hope, expectation and really wanted it to be good. With every dish we tried hard to convince ourselves that it was at least OK, but it just went from bad to worse. The Hushpuppies are those skinny little doughnut kind. Not so bad, and we could have accepted them if the rest of the meal was good - which it wasn't. Next up was the Clam Chowder and Brunswick Stew. The Chowder did have a good amount of Clam bits, but it was not close to being a chowder. It was thin and weak and tasted odd. The Brunswick Stew was as bad as any I have ever had. I was also thin, but it did have a lot of flavor - unfortunately, the overpowering flavor was just plain weird - no other way to describe it. There was one item that we really liked - the fried Oysters. These were tender and juicy on the inside, tasted great, and had that wonderful Calabash style breading. A definite winner. But then came the Deviled Crab. If it were not served in the crab shell, I would have thought that I was eating turkey stuffing. It was mealy and pasty with little or no crab flavor. The Potato Salad was unremarkable - potatoes with a little mayo and virtually no seasonings or anything else to bring it to life. We finished our meal with a slice of Key Lime Pie - another disappointment. The pie filing was OK, but the topping (not sure exactly what it was) was gooey and sticky. I tried to figure out why the food was so underwhelming. The only thing I can come up with is that it must all come directly out of a can or freezer (with no additions or embellishments by the cooks). It was all so very institutional. The dining area is roomy and comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful; but, the food is not good. We truly wish it were better, but we won't be back.

They need to know where their shrimp comes from : Guy on the phone had no idea if it was Argentina , Vietnam, or local from the United States, southern coastline (I do not eat imported shrimp, the coast is entirely too close to serve anything else!) So no go for me!

I ordered Jumbo shrimp, but I received popcorn shrimp instead. Moreover, I requested my catfish to be fried hard, but it turned out soft, undercooked, falling apart, and even pink inside. It was so displeasing that I had to put it in the oven to finish cooking it. Overall, the experience was disgusting and very unsatisfactory.

Very slow service, only one other table and food took over 40 mins, the lady totally forgot to ring it in. The other table was getting constant apologies for something and I noticed people that were coming in were waiting forever for there to go orders. Will not return
