Hook Fish & Chicken

Great portions and tasty af. More than enough to share or have leftovers for later. If you're looking for some comfort food, this is it!

Hubbo says that the hush puppies alone were worth all the stars. I wouldn't go that far but we liked everything which included catfish and chicken wings. And sweet potato pie.

I stopped by here last night for dinner. My wife and I had been to the Hook Fish & Chicken in Homewood and the food was great. Due to that and the fact that my father loves fish, I had wanted him to try it for Father's Day. This specific location is located right on Federal Street in the North Side. The inside consists of a couple of benches, a place to order and that's about it. It's a cash only business and due to that, the workers are well protected by glass which I presume is bullet proof.On this day I decided to call in my dinner order and so placed it right around 5 PM. Since I wanted my dad to try a bit of everything, I ordered a perch fish sandwich, a whiting fish sandwich, a perch and chicken meal, a catfish meal, a 6 piece chicken meal and then a side of hushpuppies. I was told that it would be ready in 15 minutes and whenever I asked the cost, was told $77. It ended up taking me about 1/2 hour to get to Hook Fish & Chicken with the cash and whenever I arrived my food was indeed ready. So about 5 minutes after I had arrived I was in my car and headed home. After opening up all of the food I realized that I had probably over ordered as it was a massive amount of food! Out of the fish, I really enjoyed both the perch and the catfish and thought that the whiting was just ok as it was somewhat fishy. My dad ended up enjoying all of it and even went back for more which I don't see too often! Then the chicken was excellent and the size of the tenders here is no joke. The hushpuppies were nicely fried and had a great crispy exterior and soft interior and the fries, while a bit soggy (likely due to the trip home), were also good. Lastly the Cole slaw was also good and my mom, who normally doesn't enjoy Cole slaw even had a second helping of it. Everything that is fried here ends up being dusted with their seasoning, which reminds me a bit of a salt and vinegar flavor, and so everything has a ton of flavor. By the time everyone was finished we still had a ton of food left which was nice as we then had lunch for the next day.The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I thought that both their fish and their chicken was quite good and so we will definitely be back.

The Perch was delightful - flaky crisp-Chicken wings were done right-Quick delivery service-Hot fresh very tasty.The French fries were dusted with a lightly flavored sea salt - my grandson wanted more.There was no ketchup nor hot sauce in my order. I was initially disappointed but the food was so delicious the condiments were not need!DELICIOUS

I ordered the 6 wing meal & it came with a side of coleslaw & fries . I also got a slice of sweet potato pie . I ordered my meal over the phone to avoid a long wait . 10/10, HIGHLY recommend

The delivery person left my food downstairs on a random table in the lobby.... apparently at 10:30. I get my food and its soggy I wish I could enjoy it bc their food is typically B O M B !! If you want this, go pick it up yourself and eat immediately. Lol

I was interested in trying out a new eatery in the area and decided to try out this establishment. First impressions are good for business and the staff here left a bad one. The guy at the register was rude and had an attitude. I will not return to this establishment again. The food was just okay at best

my food came undercooked and still has some pink mushy areas. I hope I don't get a tapeworm

One star is being very generous. Misleading or down right lies on the Door Dash page, undercooked smelly fish and rude staff at the Penn Hills location. Very surprised they have been in business. Save your money, consider yourself warned.

Trying to express this review in more characters than needed is crazy. 20 dollars for six wings, a tiny cold slaw, and some fries is ridiculous. The pandemic has been over for a year or two. Why are your wings still so high?I loved me some wings back before Covid. I stayed in Hooks, but I quickly learned to do without. I can get two 8 pieces of chicken at the supermarket for that price. I give 1 star
