Hook Reel Cajun Seafood

The food was impeccable and the service matched. For starters we had the calamari and hush puppies. I?ve definitely had better calamari but the hush puppies were so good we ordered 2 to go lol. Now for the main dishes we all had seafood boils from snow crab legs, shrimp, mussels, and clams and the seasoning ranges from garlic butter, seasoned garlic sauce, and spicy seasoned garlic. The food was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. Our server Devon was so knowledgeable and very attentive and extremely courteous and friendly. I highly recommend this place!!!

This was my first time going to this restaurant. You know parking is my thing. I rate parking spaces. I don't drive too much in DC because of cameras and it can take forever to park. Also parking can cost in the city. However this place is in VA. It is in a shopping center so there's plenty of parking. It is in the same shopping center as Babylon futbol cafe. Let's get to the food. This food was a treat. I didn't know what to expect for real. Another seafood spot. However, I've been to several that's why I didn't think too much about it. But let me tell you something here, this food was finger lickin and the drink. The drink I got was called the sidecar. Good drink. Be careful because you can drink that like juice and you can get messed up. Great drink. I got the scallops, with head off shrimp, corn. Appetizers crab fries and hush puppies. My go to seafood is scallops. I enjoyed every bit of it. The food came out so hot and fast. The customer service was great and it was a great atmosphere. Everything was good and ready to go. What I mean was when the food came out the bibs, gloves, claw cracking tool (I don't eat crabs like that) everything was ready. I'm definitely going back to this spot. I have to get another side car drink and indulge on more food there. I have to try the sandwiches like the po boy's.

They have got a different way of serving food than we are normally use to. It?s a good and new experience. The food came hot in a plastic bag. They brought us a basket where we can put any waste, like the crab shells and used napkins. We used out hands to eat. It was a whole new experience and the food tasted very good. The Seevice was excellent too!

Highly recommend getting one of their mixed drinks with your meal. They are really good and have a surprising amount of alcohol in them. The crab bites and calamari were both excellent starters. Cajun fries are a must and they have really good po boy options. It would have been a 5-star experience but the service was pretty slow. Don't go here if you're in a rush, but the food is great if you have time to spare.

Good spot for lunch. Lots of variety on the menu and the price was decent. Service was a bit slow, seemed like the kitchen might have been understaffed at the time.
