Born in the South where a feast means getting messy with friends, the seafood boil has been bringing people together for ages. At Hook & Reel our signature boil forks over bold flavors with a genuine, down-home feel. Our last seating for All You Can Eat is 8pm Sunday-Thursday and 9pm Friday-Saturday.

Rosa was extremely professional and personable. She explained everything to me as far as the menu and how to order since this was my first time. We didn’t even have to call her for refills on anything because she came back and checked on us periodically. I definitely Think Rosa should win this competition, hands-down!

I had the catfish basket. The fish was fried and little too dark and the fish filets were very thin. The sweet potato waffles were delicious and the rum punch was satisfying. Overall, the food was seasoned well.
The guy next to me had the fried oyster basket that looked really. I’ll visit again for sure

For starters I came to this restaurant with a party of 7 when we walk in we were NOT greeted. We stood at the front for a good 7 minutes waiting to be seated. I was unsure why because the restaurant was NOT busy at all ! Finally we get seat then it took another 5 minutes before the server came over to get our drink order. We all ordered AYCE and I will say the food was good but the server wasn’t she was not very attentive never refilled our drinks I feel like that 18% gratuity being added make the servers feel they don’t have to do any work because they already know they will at least get 18%.
This location service is always way below bare minimum.

I went here with some of my family and we were very happy about our whole experience here. We didn’t have to wait long for a table and we were greeted very quickly. Our server’s name was Dylaney, she was amazing! Very welcoming, attentive and caring for our needs throughout the meal! She answered all our questions well and gave us very good recommendations on the food, which was delicious! We will definitely be coming back here, not only just for the food but mostly because the service we received was excellent! The staff and our server especially made us feel welcome and that we had to come back in the future.

We had the absolute BEST experience at Hook & Reel in Gaithersburg thanks to Johana! From the moment we sat down, she was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely kind. She made sure our table had everything we needed before we even had to ask.
Johana was incredibly accommodating, patient, and professional. She checked on us at all the right times without ever feeling intrusive. On top of that, her conversation was so natural and engaging she made us feel comfortable and truly taken care of.
You can tell she takes pride in what she does. She elevated our entire dining experience, and we will absolutely be back because of her. Thank you, Johana, for such amazing service!
