Hook Reel Cajun Seafood - Longview

How are you a seafood spot, but put imitation crab meat on your crab fries. Just pitiful.

I would give this place less than 1 star. I was in Longview visiting my fiance and I called in my order. Ready in 15 was surprised but a little concerned about that. He went to pick up my catfish po boy. I was salty and a little chewy like the fish had been sitting awhile. This was about 7:30. About 3 am I was awakened with a terrible stomach ache and needless to say if you have ever had food poisoning you know the rest. I called the next day asked for a manager and got put on hold. So I was very upset. So when I got back to Dallas I reached out to the main number and still never heard anything back or nothing. So this place I will never patronize again and I have told everyone I know about my experience. I basically paid to get food poisoning.

First time visit to Hook and reel! We got the shrimp boil with Cajun seasoning and spicy. The shrimp was perfect cooked. Added sausage and the flavor was awesome! Highly recommend!

I have been to the Hook and Reel in the past month: for lunch with my mother and dinner to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We have had great dining experiences on both occasions. I personally prefer the Lobster Bisque over the Clam Chowder. The Shrimp Baskets were a favorite with my family. The Sweet Potato Fries and Regular Fries were very good. My favorite was the Seafood Boils. I had mine with shrimp and crab legs so good! I’m glad that they have options for non seafood lovers in my family. The Chicken Tender Basket was perfect for my child; hence, everyone enjoyed eating at Hook Reel! Skyler is an exceptional server. He always had a smile on his face and he was way ahead of us when it came to drink refills. We can’t wait to go there again!

Great atmosphere! Didn't care for the shrimp flavored pig skins but they have fantastic Cajun fries! Ordered the lunch pick two and went with catfish and shrimp. Perfectly seasoned and fried. Definitely love this place. And the waiter was amazing!!!
