The service was outstanding. We came in as a larger family (party of 8), and the staff was so great at making sure everyone was fed and happy. The hash puppies were a crowd favorite, and the kids were crazy for the pretzel bites. I loved the catfish bites. Shrimp and grits were fantastic! The clam chowder is broth based (not cream or tomato based), light and flavorful. One of us got a Ribeye steak and it was great, too. We were too full to try their desserts, though they too sounded delicious.

Went in for lunch about 1 pm on a Tuesday. Several tables were open and we sat at the high top by the front window. Server came and took our water order, we had 4 waters and a sweet tea. Waited about 5 minutes for waters- server dropped them off then told us of the daily specials and then disappeared. No kids menu was offered so I went to the hostess stand to ask for one from our server who was also the hostess. She couldn’t find a menu so just recited the menu- hard to remember- but oh well.
Service was slow- very slow. Locals that came in after us (server knew their names) but got their food way, way before us. Server seemed a bit flustered and came out to tell us that the kids shrimp that we ordered grilled could only be served fried. This seemed odd since we ordered grilled shrimp for the adult lunches. We changed the order to an adult lunch (at twice the price of the kids plate) so we could have the grilled shrimp.
Food came out staggered, first the fried clam strips and fries, then the 2 Hot Dogs- them the 3 orders of shrimp (1 blackened- 2 grilled) and finally the salad that was ordered as a starter for the table. People that brought the food were not our server and we did not see her for a good bit.
The food- with as high of a rating that Fish Hook Grill had- we had high hopes that the food would be good. The chili dogs were good, nothing special, the clam strips were cooked nicely- not too well done. The shrimp were all way, way overcooked. Like almost to the point of being in little balls- and were so tough- I thought at first I was eating gator tail. The one order of blackened were basically flavorless due to being so over cooked, and the grilled shrimp was very tough and flavorless. No cocktail sauce was brought to the table- and since the server did not drop by and we didn’t see her, I went to hunt some down. Went to the kitchen entrance and found a different person and asked for cocktail sauce and lemons. She brought it quickly to the table and it was literally the best part of my meal. A good bit of horseradish gave the bland, tough shrimp some actual taste. Should note that the digestive tract vein that goes down the back of the shrimp was not removed in any of the shrimp- we removed it while eating. Gross.
We finished what we could, and went back to the hostess stand to get the checks. Paid our bill and left. Won’t be back- do not recommend.

DO NOT miss out on the lobster sauce! I had to stop myself from asking for a cup and a straw. Hush puppies to start were the epitome of perfection and delivered to the table as soon as we arrived. Orange Crush drinks were fantastic. Margarita mix was a bit too sweet. Mary Ann who took care of us was awesome. Food was hot, quick, and absolutely delicious. This is a hidden gem of Down East. Even the salad was fresh rinsed romaine lettuce. Can’t wait to be back from Virginia to enjoy this place! Perfect location to visit from any area community by car and a quick trip from anywhere on Harkers Island via golf cart.

Drove from the Emerald Isle / Morehead City / Beaufort areas down to Hawker’s Island for birding on a Saturday afternoon. We stumbled onto this spot and it instantly looked like my kind of place – a casual seafood restaurant in a classic fishing village.
Walked into The Fish Hook Grill and that’s exactly what we saw. Nautical décor, a lot of friendly folks (likely locals) chatting over lunch, and a cheerful welcoming staff.
Since it was mid-January, they mentioned they might be out of some items (for example, the Hatteras Clam Chowder) since they were closing for a few weeks at the end of the month and into February. But having seen rows of shrimp boats docked just a few blocks away, I figured that was the right move to make.
So, we ordered a Buffalo Shrimp appetizer (in honor of the football game taking place the same weekend), and two Shrimp Burgers (in honor of what seems to be a classic dish on the Crystal Coast).
The food and service were excellent! One bite of one shrimp and I knew right away these were super-fresh. I eat a LOT of shrimp, and these really stood out as superb!
I highly recommend The Fish Hook Grill. My wife and I will definitely be doing a 1.5-hour trip from the Triangle again – just so we can eat here while on a birding adventure.
I absolutely loved this place. You feel like family. Oh, and they had a great Pandora channel on the tv for nice background music.
Check out my photos for more details…
Our waitress should also be mentioned as she did an excellent job all around. She was polite and friendly, helped us with menu selections, and our drinks were quickly refilled.
We’ll definitely be back at The Fish Hook Grill on our next trip to Harkers Island.

I have been down east for many years lived on Harkers Island before moving to Marshallberg. Heather and her staff are great. Stop by eat, and enjoy a great down east meal. Fired or grilled you will not disappoint.

We randomly stopped here after our ferry day! Let me tell you. The food and service were great!! We got the special Softshell crab. I highly recommend it. My mother and I will definitely be doing a day trip again just so we can eat here. Also we’re an hour and half away and we would happily drive down here on a Saturday to have a nice lunch!
