Guest sentiment

"A great old fashioned fish and chip shop with all the old style menu options. Fish was well cooked and chips exactly like I had as a boy many years ago. Portions are really big."
"What a pleasure! I really haven't had hake & chips like this in years. The hake was fresh and tasty -I'll even go as far as to say it was juicy. But perfect. Nice (slap) chips, seasoned with salt and vinegar just the way it is supposed to be, and the portion served in butcher's paper. Talking about the portion- we both ordered the large hake and I got mine with chips. I've managed to finish half the portion, rest will have to wait. Very friendly service from the moment we walked in. Waiting time was probably 15 minutes. R190 for 1 large hake & 1 large hake with chips 30Nov2025"
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Fish Hook – Fourways Pulled in for a quick bite, ordered the large grilled hake and chips, and honestly? Game-changer. This is the best fish and chips I’ve had in years — crisp execution, zero shortcuts, pure excellence. If you’re anywhere near Fourways, lock this spot into your workflow. It’s worth every kilometre. Shout-out to the team on the floor, and especially the lady behind the counter — her energy is world-class. Friendly, efficient, and genuinely passionate about the experience. Highly recommended. A must-visit."
"We had the most delicious piece of fish (hake) and chips ever. Recomendation from someone and oh boy was it just amazing. The flavour was sooo tastey it was like you are having it in Cape Town. Fresh and melt in your mouth. I love my seafood and this hake was on point, wrapped in that paper with slap chips, salt and vinager. We ordered a large and the portion was big. We Will be back without a doubt. If you looking for a piece of fish as if you having it at the coast you have to try Fish Hook in Fourways."
"The have the best grilled fish in town. I wish they could have a franchise. So good food, but small place. Best for take away only."
"Omg so delicious. This is what I want when I am ordering fish and chips… do not order from golden fish… this branch has the best fish we were so impatient to eat I didn’t get to take a photo before digging in but you can tell its quality anyway"
"Superb Fish & Chips and I'm English so I know about this stuff. If you're not starving get only one small chips as it's big enough for two really. We got two medium fish, 2 mushy peas and two small chips and barely managed 1 portion of chips. If your just out for lunch. 1 peas, 1 small chips and 1 medium hake is enough for 2. Seriously."
"If you are looking for fish and slap chips the old fashioned way, wrapped in paper. When you unwrap the paper you are hit with that fresh steamy fish and slap chips. then this is the place for you. It reminded me of the fish and chips you will get at a small town corner cafie in the Western Cape. I ordered from Uber Eats, so I cannot comment on service or atmosphere, but I am surely giving them 5 stars for the taste."
