Poor service.Poor quality food tonight.Wife's sweet potato fries were waffled, dry, and luke warm. Had to have been sitting in the kitchen awhile.My hamburger looked like a perfectly shaped frozen one.My onion rings were also dry, not fresh, and luke warm. Very disappointed.Only positive was Jerry Burton, the entertainment.

At this small, unassuming restaurant you'll be amazed by the fantastic food and dining experience. Great service, excellent menu offerings, great value, large proportions (be prepared to take a box or two home with you) and above all, fabulously delicious food. Their take on recipes is unique using only the freshest and best foods. Unfortunately for us we don't live in the area, but thank goodness we have friends there so we can visit next time. Make sure you try this gem.

We went to Hooked for lunch on a lazy Monday afternoon. The service was good, but on island time. The restaurant is fun, decorated well, and has an island vibe to it. We sat at the outside bar and enjoyed the swings while sipping on a Gator Bite and waiting on our lunches. We ordered the Soft-shell Crab Sandwich because of the waitresses suggestion and the Watermelon Buffalo Fried Chicken Sandwich. The soft-shell was out of this world. Battered and flavored, moist and crunchy, fresh and cooked to perfection. The chicken sandwich was sweet from the watermelon and spicy too. The batter was crispy and chicken cooked just right. The Gator Bite was fruity and sweet and cold on that hot day.

We stopped just because we had stopped at the store and were curious. We were able to sit dockside. Hear good music and the food was better than expected. The boom boom shrimp tacos shouldnât be missed. And the key lime pie was very good.

been going to Miceli's since they took over for Matlacha Oyster Bar...usually awesome, but today my wife's prime rib was awful...yes the server offered to replace it after we had eaten, but trying to be nice she said ' no, that's okay '...I figured they'd adjust the bill, but they did not...I just hope this isn't an indication that they're usually high standards are going downhill...

Ate lunch after a couple hours out paddle boarding. Food was soooooo good! Had fish dip appetizer, which was smoked mahi made into a dip with fresh tortilla chips. Also had grouper tacos, mango salsa was great. Coleslaw was interesting, had coconut in it, yum! Last we had some Cajun sweet potato fries, amazing! Definitely would come back. Donât get your food super fast, but that is ok because you can tell it is freshly made.

We wouldâve given this place a â4,â if it were not for the AC. Itâs a simple place with good food, but there was no AC! The servers never even apologized for the heat or even mentioned it at all in fact. It makes me wonder if itâs like this all the time. Patrons were sweating and it was just uncomfortable. This is a shame because the food was very good. I had the crab Benedict and it was clearly local crab. We wonât be returning. Itâs Florida, and a restaurant MUST have AC. We were also not a huge fan of the fact that coffee is self serve.

I ordered fried shrimps and were tasting as if they were kept in highly chlorinated ice or water prior to frying. Never tasted shrimps like this ever. Service was ok, I only enjoyed my ice cold beer. I donât believe that these cooks know what theyâre doing. I wouldnât even give it a one star rating. If I donât feel good tonight, I would definitely complain to the health department.
