Hook Fish & Chicken - Homewood — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

Depends on if you are in a betting mood. Your chances are 60/40. 40% guaranteed to get high quality fried food blasted with a "special seasoning" which has so much acidity to it that it burns your tongue. In fact, if they gave you ketchup, I would say that this is a fabulous place which would leave you craving it and coming back for more. Even the slenderest packet of ketchup would alleviate the burning sensation and make it excellent.

You are, however, 100 % guaranteed to never see even an empty ketchup packet from this establishment. (Even if they call about your order looking to replace something they've run out off, and you remind them very specifically about the ketchup. ) Yes, expect none of the standard sauces typically served with fried food. You are 100% guaranteed to never see a ketchup package from this establishment which specializes in fish and chips.

I am pretty snobby about food,but when you drive past this place, it looks fairly iffy, and when you go inside, its a little strange. But I need to give it 5 starts

1st off, the two guys inside are cool as hell and very nice. Has a great selection.

I played it safe, I got Chicken Tenders and Fries just to test the waters. I feared frozen stuff, but nope.

The Chicken Tenders were all white meat, clearly very good white meat to. Hand breaded, and clearly fried perfectly, crunchy while still very juicy, the breading had lots of good seasoning to. As did the perfectly crunchy fries. It also had this rewally nice coleslaw with it, and sure it comes with two basic slices of normal bread, but what you do is smear the coleslaw on it, put a half a tender on it, and wrap it like a wrap, and its...
