Reviews for Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar in Glenarden, MD

Nice location. Ordered the seafood paella. This was not "paella." It is just fried rice with a few pieces of seafood and a bunch... of onions. Not really any seafood in it (2 pieces of baby ????). Also ordered the 3oz crab meat. All this is, is shredded crabmeat and it had A LOT of shells in it. I couldn't let my son try it. Thought this was "crab leg meat." - disappointed Overall, I will not order that again. Waste of money. Read more

I paid 60 dollars for this terrible Bag. My daughter did pick up on 8/8/2022. If I had picked up I would have looked at the... size and walked out. The clusters were small, everything was tasteless. I asked for spicy there was no taste at all. Needed ano star, waste of money Read more

I've been here twice...both decent experiences. The last time the food was good and our waitress was great. At the end of the... meal we heard a woman loudly complaining about one of the gentlemen clearing the table. She became increasingly louder as shekept talking. Come to find out she worked here and was referring to her own co worker! At no time did a manager come over toaddress the incident. Uncomfortable end to an other wise good meal. Read more

My boys wanted seafood after being on the road for 8hrs so we dined here. I wanted it to go but we ate in. We was sat by a... window. It was not busy, so I assumed they want people to be sat by a window for advertisement????. I had catfish platter andhush puppies, it was too much food for me and it was served hot and fresh. Wish they had honey butter for the hush puppies. Myboys had the boil w/shrimp crab legs and corn. One add sausage but didn?t like it. I have to say the corn and crab legs was softand mussy, was not expecting that when I sampled my boys food. They didn?t complain and the food was just about gone when Itasted it. The boys was stuffed????. Our server was nice and attentive. Had I read the reviews before we ate there, I probablywould not have ??????????????????????. Overall, my bill was $100 for the 3 of us, I didn?t receive a detailed receipt, itseemed like a nice place and we didn?t get sick. PTL???????? Read more

This was my first time ordering from Hook and Reel. I was notified that my order would be ready around 2:34 pm. I arrived around... 2:30 and the staff (who were all pleasant and helpful) let me know my order was still be prepared. No problem, I knew I was alittle early. I patiently waited. After about 10 minutes, one of the staff ( a young lady) went to go check on my order. Uponreturning, the young lady said they were still working on my order. At this time, I started to wonder if something was wrongbecause a lot of people were coming in including Door Dash drivers and getting there food and leaving. I then double checked tomake sure that she had my name correct and order number. She confirmed and pointed to the ticket with my name on it. Doing thisentire time I am making sure that the young lady can see that I was still waiting for my order. It was now 2:55 and my orderwas still not ready. So it seemed. I got up from where I was sitting in the entry way and a young man who was working at thefront too said to me, ?you are still here.? I responses yes and he asked me my name and walked over to see if my order wasready. Apparently, my order had been sitting there for 10-15 minutes and the young lady didn?t realize that she had brought myorder out from the kitchen. Fortunately, the food was still warm. I appreciate the young man checking on me and realizing that Ihad been there for a while. My wife and I both got a crab boil. Unfortunately, my wife?s muscles and shrimp were over cookedand lacked flavor. She ordered it spicy. She liked the crab. As for my meal, the snow crab legs were good. My shrimp was overcooked. The corn, potatoes, and hard boiled egg were ok. I had the garlic butter sauce. It was weird, there was hardly a tasteof butter or garlic even though it was a lot of sauce. I really wanted this to be a good meal for us, but it wasn?t. I?ve neverhad a crab boil that lacked flavor. I want to repeat that even with the mishap with waiting for my Read more

The food was amazing the waiters were awesome and nice and it wasn?t packed. Food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. My... friend ordered lobster and it was rubbery and tasted funny. He got sick but the prices were very high too. Overall amazing foodand service besides the lobster! Read more

The ValuePak flyer advertised happy hour Mon-Friday until 7pm. We arrived, yesterday Friday evening at 6:20pm, and the bartender... rudely informed us that their happy hour is over at 6pm. She did not honor the flyer at all. In lieu of that setback, we stayedat the bar and ordered drinks and food. **To our dismay, our seafood boil had raw contents!** Hook and reel has bad service andbad food! Read more

Love this place great seafood boils, flavors and prices. Some drinks are a little pricey for the amount you get but still good.... It's a great atmosphere with music a bar and TV's. I can be a little busy at time and may have to wait but I have never waitedover 30 minutes for table each time I go but that is just me. Others may have experience longer wait time. The staff has alwaysbeen great never had a bad server. Read more
