Reviews for Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar in Bailey's Crossroads, VA

BUGS ON CRAB LEGS!! We dined in here on a Tuesday night, chose all you can eat. We ordered snow crab legs, along with other... shrimps and mussels. There are so many BUGs on snow crab leg!! The manager didn?t know what those black dots are. He saidbecause we are doing all you can eat, he could not offer any discount, but could give us a new basket of snow crab legs. Comeon? Also, no apologies received. Thumbs down to this place. Read more

Sauce is good and Shrimp is good. Just the black mussels is not good. Texture of black mussels is not good. Manager took off... $4.05 the bill for the black mussels instead of $7.50. The service associate and manager never say word ?sorry? but she leave a?thank you? note on our receipt. I don?t know if this is good place to eat again here. ?? Read more

I have been so many places, I have never seen service this low and bad. I wonder how the restaurant is empty as it is every day.... I feel sorry for whom own this restaurant. Don?t understand how he makes a living! feels like they are paying you to dine here!Ghetto place. I took my wife on Wednesday night around 8:30 pm, the rude guy at the entrance turned his back on us, the theother rude waitress told us she can?t serve us unless we sit with another group of people we don?t even know, because shedoesn?t want to be here and there. I can?t comment on the food that I don?t like the service already. I DO NOT Recommend thisrestaurant. Read more

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. Read more

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 boyoptions. 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 foodis great if you have time to spare. Read more

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 toeat. It was a whole new experience and the food tasted very good. The Seevice was excellent too! Read more

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 ina shopping center so there's plenty of parking. It is in the same shopping center as Babylon futbol cafe. Let's get to thefood. This food was a treat. I didn't know what to expect for real. Another seafood spot. However, I've been to several that'swhy I didn't think too much about it. But let me tell you something here, this food was finger lickin and the drink. The drinkI got was called the sidecar. Good drink. Be careful because you can drink that like juice and you can get messed up. Greatdrink. I got the scallops, with head off shrimp, corn. Appetizers crab fries and hush puppies. My go to seafood is scallops. Ienjoyed 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 eatcrabs like that) everything was ready. I'm definitely going back to this spot. I have to get another side car drink and indulgeon more food there. I have to try the sandwiches like the po boy's. Read more

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 snowcrab legs, shrimp, mussels, and clams and the seasoning ranges from garlic butter, seasoned garlic sauce, and spicy seasonedgarlic. The food was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. Our server Devon was so knowledgeable and very attentive andextremely courteous and friendly. I highly recommend this place!!! Read more
