We had a nice lunch on Sunday while visiting the area...We enjoyed a raw aparagus salad, some white wine and a few different lunch entrees. The salad was pretty delicous with bacon and parmasean accents. All of our lunches were well prepared. The mahi sandwich was good but it did not get glowing reviews. My friend was loving the flatbread... More

Visited Off the Hook for a lunch with my wife while on a weekend vacation. I would say this restaurant is above average but not spectacular, at least judging from my initial visit. Their Corn Jalapeno Bisque was very well made, and balanced well with sherry, heavy creme, and lump crab meat. The cooked flat bread with beefsteak tomatoes was... More

Great menu, a small place always packed, but go at the off times for a superb experience. Fresh seafood, done perfectly, and all their dishes are good quality. The service is terrific too -- especially Marina. They will do anything for you, and the locals here know where to go -- to Off the Hook. More

Needing a nice place to treat our hosts to dinner, we turned to TripAdvisor. Off the Hook does not take reservations, so we were advised to arrive early. It was full by 6:30 on Friday, and there is no room to wait inside. The excellent local server brought us warm bread, drizzled with oil, and helped us choose a wine.... More

The food was indeed fresh, the portions generous, even for appetizers. The dining room was small in that you would be very close to your fellow patrons, the bar not comfortable enough for friends to hang out, but the staff was friendly, the place was clean and had a nice enough ambiance for casual dining.

Off the Hook cooks it's food.... from 'farm to table'. Homemade, delicious food! It was wonderful! We were seated close to the back where we could watch them cooking...they are clean and professional. The food was not only healthy and good for us, but so much flavor. Yum!! If you have a sweet tooth...you must try the Key Lime Pie.... More

Healthy food, excellently prepared, reasonably priced. Probably not for kids at dinner time, located in a small shopping center, open all year, it's consistently excellent. More

I "discovered" Off the Hook through an ad they'd placed in "Coastal Point," one of the area's free weeklies. I was in town for a mid-week stay to explore the area. The restaurant offered a number of winter specials; I had the $2 fish tacos and the $3 craft beers on a Monday. The exterior of the place in a... More
