Hook Fish & Chicken 1340 East University Avenue, Gainesville, FL 32641

"Horrific. Health inspector would have a field day here. Hygiene is non existent. Seasoning everyone seems to love so much is literally MSG powder. Food was actually tasty to be honest but if you should probably not eat here."

"Wow! This place has amazing food! I got the 10 piece wings and fries. The seasoning was amazing and the chicken was delicious and cooked perfectly! I also tried the fried okra and omg it was sooooooo good! Highly recommend!"

"I ordered fish and liver. I have no idea what kind of fish it was but it was in need of hot sauce to give it flavor. The proprietor/cook/server/counterman worked in all these capacities and handled them well. I was quite impressed. The area needed cleaning but the restaurant itself was okay but I don't think it was meant as an eat-in facility."

"Generous amount of food for the cost. I got the fried gizzards/shrimp plate and replaced the fries with corn nuggets. My mom ordered fried livers and gizzards with fries. The wait time (drive thru) was about 5-7 minutes but totally worh it for the freshness of the food. It was EXTREMELY hot, crunchy and the container barely closed there was SO. MUCH. FOOD. I had enough to eat over 3 days. Very well seasoned, the staff was so friendly too. I'm not sure why their rating is so low. Maybe I just caught them on a good day. I was there on a visiting trip but will definitely return anytime I am in town. SN: my mom says that depending on the cook, the food is sometimes overly salty so feel free to request that you do not want a lot of salt."

"I enjoyed every bit of this platter 3 days and still didn't finish. My only complaint they didn't season the fish, and only received one hot sauce. There may be a wait,they cook to order so your food is fresh! I don't like having to pay 3.5% for using a debit card,so I'll have cash when I return. Definitely going back! That is my reason for the two four stars!"
