Very kind and attentive service. The food and drinks were impressive, beautifully presented, and clearly high quality, though definitely on the expensive side. We visited on New Year’s Eve and it was pretty busy, so I’d strongly recommend making a reservation. The atmosphere felt lively and upscale, and overall it was a great experience despite the crowd.

We stopped by Hooked during our travels through Ocean City and were so glad we did!
The atmosphere is laid-back and coastal, perfect for a beach-town dining experience. The service was friendly.
We tried the street corn and beet salad for appetizers, and fish tacos for entree—each dish was incredibly fresh and packed with bursting flavors.
The street corn had the perfect mix of smoky, creamy, and tangy flavors. The fish taco was a standout—crispy, well-seasoned fish with spicy mayo. And the beet salad was simply out-of-the-world!! So refreshing, beautifully presented, and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and crunch.
You can tell the ingredients are high quality and the kitchen really knows what they are doing.
If you’re in Ocean City and looking for something a little more creative and refined than the typical boardwalk fare, Hooked is 100% worth a stop! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

It was our first time here at this restaurant. It was highly recommended to us and I’m glad we came here. The atmosphere, the service and the food were just amazing. The crab cake, the wings, the pesto fries, their burger; even the focaccia bread with old bay olive oil was amazing. We also celebrated our son’s 13th birthday and they were so kind to bring out a key lime cheese cake with candles. I highly recommend Hooked to anyone visiting here. I shall return!

Hooked was a nice, classy, seafood restaurant one street of the boardwalk. The service was good, Emily was attentive and suggestive to the table the entire time. The other restaurant staff appeared to be standing around; sometimes to many staff for the space in the restaurant. The food was delicious… ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Took a while to be served but the quality definitely matched the service time. One thing that stood out to me was happy hour, good drinks and good deals. Note: only 3 deviled eggs come with the happy hour menu; that’s 1/2 slices of egg for $4 (delicious but not worth it)
Overall I recommend the fish taco, chicken sandwich, wings, and crushes.
Definitely give them a visit!

Stopped here on a whim as the overview and ratings seemed positive. Wow! Everything was amazing! This is my new favorite restaurant, possibly of all time. What a gem! Thank you!! Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the locally sourced ingredients on the menu.

Ordered takeout. The staff who handled my to go meal were great and pleasant. Timing was great and food was packed well. One star because I ordered the grilled corn appetizer and was given something that looked like it was meant for barn animals as an afterthought. I’ve never even shucked a corn cob in a grocery store this skinny/inedible. My wife even tried a few bites to see if we were somehow mistaken. What a waste of $8 and an insult. Look at it in comparison to the size of my fork and an asparagus….

Excellent fine dining experience at Hooked! Everything we ordered tasted wonderful. They seated us in their upstairs dining room. The service was really well done. Our drinks were filled regularly. The food came out with excellent timing. We had a crab dip appetizer, with great crackers. The wedge salads seemed on the small size, but had great flavor, with bacon, blue cheese and pickled onion. For our entrees we ordered Pan Seared Day Boat Scallops and Blackened Shrimp. Both were fantastic. The dirty rice with the shrimp was delicious with great spice level. The couscous salad with the Scallops was a little too vinegary for me, but my wife liked the flavor. The prices may seem high, but it’s appropriate for high quality seafood with creative flavors paired with it. Definitely an excellent choice for a great seafood dinner!

Such a great spot! The food and atmosphere were both amazing. We got seated really quickly, and the team member who helped us was super kind and welcoming. Honestly, the calamari was the best I’ve ever had, and the drinks — wow, they were just as impressive! Can’t wait to come back.

Let’s start with the Atmosphere… Very nice, very quiet, smooth music, awesome views of Coastal Hgwy. The food. Well we had the fish and chips which weren’t your ordinary fish and chips. The presentation, the design, and the overall taste were elegant. Very flavorful. No seasonings needed. The service was awesome no one bothering you, or rushing you. Laid back and smiling servers. I’d recommend trying this place when in the Ocean City area.

Went to Hooked on the recommendation of a friend for their Valentine’s Day prix fixe four course chef’s menu and the experience was incredible! The servers were so kind and friendly, the food was insanely delicious (hats off to Nino) and we absolutely will be coming back. Those oysters – please please please bring them back as a special. Thanks for an incredible memory!
