Meeks Review
Upon review "Hook and Reel" deserves 🥨🥨🥨🥨 I believe it was pretty tasty. It's not what you expect a restaurant to be... especially because it's located in the middle of a shopping mall. If you're looking for a quick bite and seafood is your thing this is the place to be.
For my appetizer, I tried the "Fried Calamari" which was delicious crispy outside, and tender with each bite. For my entrée I ordered 1lbs. of the "New Zealand Mussels" that was accompanied with corn, potatoes, and the "Hook and Reel Hot butter sauce I think that's what it was called. I think the portions in my entrée were fair and I still had leftovers to take home. I would definitely return.

I'm not a fan of being served seafood in a bag, but maybe some may not find it to be a problem. The lemon pepper wings I got had way too many feathers on them, which was a turn-off. The crab bits were too mushy and may be needed to cook a little longer. Overall the food tasted really good and didn't at all lacked flavor.
The two things I enjoyed most were my crabs and the fried calamari meek ordered. Would I go back to Hook and Reel, yes I would give them another play.

Steffi's Non-Review:
So as you can see in the mini title this is a non-review because I was unable to attend the lunch-dinner with Kiki and Meek. Hey, we are busy people. I did do some more research about the seafood joint that you may find interesting. Below is a roots story from their website and information about their locations in Pennsylvania, mostly in the Philadelphia area. This chain does have several locations within the United States. If you are interested in venturing out to taste the seafood cuisine Hook and Reel has a casual feel where you can dress in jeans & a t-shirt with your friends, family, and coworkers when you visit.
