It was our first visit to hook's. We thought the food was great. The waitresses were wonderful, very pleasant. It was a nice and enjoyable visit. We enjoyed the food as much as our waitress. (a.w.) we surely would go again.

Food quality is below average, dry, mostly deep fryed, and poorly prepared. The fish is dry and lacked any taste, the clam chowder was absolutely terrible, and the chicken wings were the worst I have ever tasted. I could not recommend this place to anyone. There are many better places with better food quality and value for your money.

An excellant restaurant for good food and seafood experience, crablegs great , good fish, and great sides. On the average a good nite out. Only one thing stood out, you could use a more mature host staff, friendlier and more interested in customers than some of the wait staff, overall though nice experience.

I had high hopes for Hook's. Really, I did. I wanted good Calabash seafood, but I didn't want to go to one of the over-hyped chains with all the flashing "tourist attraction" neon lights. Unfortunately, I probably would've been better off with one of the glitzy tourist traps.

The food at Hook's was ALL overcooked. The crab cakes looked (and tasted, alas) like hockey pucks. NOT appetizing. The grouper and flounder were cooked dry and lifeless. The stuffed grouper was almost as bad. Most of the rest of the seafood was just... bone dry and blah, if not outright awful.

What saves them from a 1-star rating: the hush puppies were FANTASTIC. The first batch of Calabash shrimp was very good (unfortunately, the next batch I tried was over-cooked, too crunchy, and rubbery). The fried oysters were good too, as well as the scallops. My wife enjoyed the macaroni and cheese.

Overall, it was generic seafood, marred by too many over-cooked options. Worse, market price was $20/plate. I'm more than willing to pay that or more for GOOD seafood. I'm not a picky eater, but I picked at my food. So our $50+ dinner was actually worth about $25, IMO.

Two major caveats: we visited Hook's at the end of the season, and it was about an hour before closing time. Still, it didn't live up to my expectations in any way. Not for the price, certainly.

Next time, I'll try the obvious tourist-trap seafood, and hope for something better. It couldn't get much worse.

We had heard about Hooks when we were leaving Myrlte Beach in January. Knowing that we were coming back in April. We knew that Hooks was on our agenda. It was truly off the hook. Everything was great. This restaurant was the only restaurant I have had crabs that were just perfect. They didn't taste like water. They were seasoned just right. My husband love the dungeness crabs. All the food was good, but the crabs were great. I have told everyone about hooks. The service was good, and I guess because it had not got to the busy season, there was no wait. We walked right in and was seated. We are going back in late July and hooks is definately on our agenda.

We found this restaurant in the guidebook. Didn't know what to expect, but did not expect much from a seafood buffet palce. Were we ever wrong! The food was very good, the service was unobtrusive and timely. All in all, an excellent meal for the price and circumstances. We will return in the future.

It is the best seafood buffet I have been to. My family had a great time eating crab legs. This will definitely be on our list of restaurants that we have to go to every time we visit Myrtle Beach.

Hooks is great! One of the few restaurants in Myrtle Beach where you can get broiled scallops and steamed clams. Totally awesome. Really good value for the money.

Finally! A restaurant where we got outstanding food at a reasonable price in Myrtle Beach! This is the place to go especially if you take advantage of the buy one-get one free coupon they place in the Sun newspaper.
