Hooked - Ocean City

We loved Hooked! We came with a party of 10 at 5pm on a Tuesday night and were seated right away, but as our meal went on the restaurant filled up really quickly. Our server (I forgot her name...but she was tall and blonde sorry! was just the best, always checking in on us and helped to surprise someone in our party with a birthday. Apps: crab dip was awesome, so creamy. The pretzel bites were delicious too. Calamari was tasty as well (no marinara sauce this is fancy calamari . Someone in our party said it was the best calamari they'd ever eaten. Bang bang shrimp was good nothing spectacular and what you'd expect. Mussels were delicious! The red sauce with wine was to die for. Entrees: Took a little while to come, but they were delicious! Scallops were soooo good. I died for the cheesy grits on the bottom too. Only thing was it was a tid bit salty for my taste. Blackened mahi mahi was good, I just don't think I love mahi as a fish that much. The potatoes on the side were really tasty. Fish and chips classic, fish was not seasoned much so make sure you dip a lot of tartar sauce for flavor. Cioppino was delicious similar sauce to the mussel appetizer but without the wine taste. So much seafood in one delicious plate! We did not order dessert but it was someone's birthday so our server came with a candle and some vanilla ice cream for $4. Overall highly recommend this place for a delicious, fresh seafood meal in Ocean City!

Some of the best oysters I've ever had. The cippino was very filling and great. The kids menu could be better than Kraft Mac and cheese for $10, but no big deal.

Hooked is a staple in our restaurant travels. Their cocktails are excellent and the food superb. Their 24 Hour Chicken, fish and chips, and burger are among our favorites. Jimmy the outside bartender is the best.

Whenever I’m in Ocean City I visit Hooked. I’ve been there for both lunch and dinner and it’s consistently good. I’d say it’s one of the best restaurants in OC. Food is simple and fresh. Last time I got the fish tacos, which were great. The cocktail menu and beer lists are also both spectacular. There’s a bar tender who’s been there for years and he’s always friendly and does a great job with the drinks.

I had a great dining experience at this restaurant. While driving down the road and feeling hungry, I saw their sign boasting fresh and local ingredients. I decided to try their caesar salad with seared tuna, and I was pleasantly surprised. The tuna steak was one of the best I've ever had, and the Caesar salad was delicious with fantastic dressing. However, I was charged for both the salad and tuna entree separately, making my lunch quite pricey at $44. The ambiance was rated 4, food 5, service 5, and value for experience 3 (due to the expensive price). Despite the cost, I believe that if I had been clearer when ordering, my experience would have been better. I still highly recommend this restaurant.
