Hook Fish Chicken - Sumter

This restaurant is no longer in operation. A new restaurant has taken its place, but I haven't had the chance to see it open yet.

The person who answered the phone didn’t mention that the card reader was broken until I arrived. They also hadn't started preparing the food until I was there. I was advised to go next door for a cash advance, but I decided to just leave instead.

The location might not be ideal, but the food is fantastic! I can't quite describe the seasonings, but they're amazing.

The food was excellent—perfectly seasoned and not overly greasy. The portions are generous for the price. I will definitely return!

The food was excessively salty, and the fry batter on the fish and shrimp was over-seasoned to the point of being inedible. The banana pudding tasted like it had freezer burn and had ice crystals in it. I had heard positive reviews from coworkers at Shaw AFB, but my DoorDash order today was awful and not worth eating. I won't be ordering from this place again until Chef Ramsey comes in for a 24-hour makeover. I also learned that before the COVID pandemic, someone saw the cook answering the phone while still wearing his gloves from cooking. I wasn't aware of this before placing my order today. I just hope my family doesn't end up with food poisoning from this.
