Wow! A great new find. I love shrimp and it did not disappoint. I had the shrimp basket, my husband a had a shrimp po boy. The hush puppies are so good! Out waitress Tatiana (I think) was so kind.

Attached to the back of Outback, Hook and Reel is a decent stop if you want a Cajun boil of seafood. There are a lot of options to fill your boil bag, with a variety of sauces and spice. A bit on the pricey side, but good food. Plenty of parking on the side of the building so no worries there. Give this place a try if you are in the area and want some Cajun.

I recently visited Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar at 2564 Miamisburg Centerville Rd in Dayton, OH, for the second time, and I felt it was time to share my experience. I went there one night just before closing with a friend to grab a quick dinner before heading to a movie. Despite placing our order just minutes before the kitchen closed, the staff was incredibly accommodating and made us feel welcome. The seafood we ordered was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. It’s clear that they take pride in their dishes, as everything was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. I did have a bit of a hiccup with my first drink; I ordered a regular lemonade, but it didn’t quite suit my taste. However, when I switched to the strawberry lemonade, it was a game changer! It was refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness. Our server was another highlight of the evening—she was friendly, attentive, and ensured that we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself was very clean, including the restrooms, which is always a plus in my book. The open bar adds a nice touch, and there’s plenty of seating available, making it a comfortable place to dine. The menu offers a fantastic selection of seafood options, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Overall, my experience at Hook & Reel was enjoyable, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Cajun seafood in a welcoming atmosphere!
