Captain Hook Restaurant

Captain Hook Restaurant
1460 University Avenue West
Saint Paul Minnesota 55104
(no website so I don't know the hours of operation)

Out on a hut to eat on a Sunday with the Bf we were originally going to stop and try the Hickory Hut which is across the street from Captain Hook's but decided to go here instead because of a advice my sister told me was somewhat good and near by. They have a parking lot in front of the building though its not very big and fills up quickly. Located right next to a old strip mall and the sun ray oriental mart.

When first approaching the place they have a hand written posted sign naming off the special which is 3 wings and a cat fish. Both my BF and I decided to get because the pricing seemed very out of range for the type of food your getting. They have a fairly large menu from Fried chicken, shrimp, fish, and even philly cheese steaks. Assortment of desserts are offered as well for under $3.00. They also only have three small tables to sit at and a large bench for those doing take out (which it seemed like a majority of the customers did do, we decided to do sit in).

Right away I noticed the service was somewhat slow there was only 3 guys working at the time 2 frying and the other one taking orders or packing up the food. After we received what we ordered the fish was fresh and juicy very tasty. The chicken tasted nothing special like any other fried chicken you can get out there. Though for the price I don't know if I would come back. the special was $6 and when looking at the menu they had everything was in the area of $8-10 for a plate with out the drink.





Another thing to keep in mind is that they don't have plates it seemed like they put everyone's food in a take out container and ask if you want to take out they just put it in a bag for you. The condiments are included inside the box that they hand you the food. I noticed that they had plenty of fans lined up against the walls which would mean the place may get heated up during the hot humid days of Minnesota.

Overall

I would come back if I was craving fish on University but not make a special trip to get the food. Not as greasy as Mac's fish and chips located in Roseville but better fish.
