Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar

I ordered the "Combo Platter" with fried catfish and shrimp ($16.50). I upgraded my side to crabmeat fries ($4.00). It was an okay meal served hot and fresh with ample portions. It is not something I'd order again.

The fish has a fried chicken type batter. It does have flavor. It is not the cornmeal coated flaky fried catfish I prefer. (If you prefer the same, I suggest Da Weekend’Z, Sam's Southern Eatery, or FatCat aka Freddie's Fish and Grill.)

The fries were bland, but I liked the crab meat and its sauce. The fried shrimp was not flavorful. I also liked the cocktail and tartar sauces.

I sat at the bar. I like the vibe of the restaurant. The bartenders were nice and attentive. I will give Hook & Reel another try for the seafood boil.

As soon as you enter the doors you can smell how good the food is. I ordered a Creole Creamsicle and some fried calamari to start. I really liked the Cajun seasoned salt rim. The calamari was cooked perfectly, nice and crunchy batter on the outside. The shrimp without heads, crawfish boil with spicy garlic seasoned butter was delicious! Only came with 1 piece of corn and 2 hard boiled eggs,lots of sausage pieces, crawfish, shrimp, & seasoning. Definitely a good price! My waiter Zayy was incredible, friendly, and kind. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in Amarillo.

The food and service here is exemplary! I sat at the bar and had Blair as my bartender/server. She is an absolute gem and probably isn't paid enough. The gumbo had carrots in it which I've never had in gumbo before, but it was still delicious just like everything else!

Some of the best Cajun food I have had in a long time, and this coming from someone who always celebrates crawfish season a little too much!
Sit at the bar and ask for Dillen. I never went 30 seconds without a refill when I needed one!
Also a really great value- especially for the size of the boils!

This place has one of the best seafood boils I have had. We tried several items on the menu being that it was our first try. Everything was excellent, and great service. We went with "spicy" on the boil, and it was a little much for us, we would get mild in the future. Other than that it was a great experience. We will definitely be back.
