I was curious about this place and finally got to drop by yesterday! I wanted to get the oxtail but didn't know it was Weekends only, so my partner and I got dinner combos with a peach cobbler. It took a while for our food to arrive but it was fine sitting inside of the restaurant waiting. I had the BBQ ribs with fried okra and mac n cheese. It was superbly done. The sauce was great with some heat, the ribs were done well and soft with great flavor, and the sides were amazing too! The peach cobbler was really great and I wish I ordered 2 since it was hard to share. Decadent with soft dough and baked peaches. My partner got the catfish dinner which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Our food was hot and tasty, with great breading and frying. Highly recommend this place and looking forward to trying more of the different dishes. Make sure to tip them well!
What a great find! Authentic feeling and authentic tasting southern restaurant. The owners even opened up early for us the day we walked in.
The restaurant itself is very tiny with only 5 booths. It’s a little dated but gives it that dive feeling.
The fried chicken was my absolute favorite. My aunt could hear the “crunch” from across the room. So crispy!
The only disappointment was the ribs. They were well done and not the best. The sauce however was delicious.
Give this place a try and support black operated businesses!
I needed a feel good Friday. Gizzards were me and my grandpa's thing. He passed away, and yesterday was his bday. I didn't get paid until today. Not only are the gizzards home style they taste just like my pops. I didn't realize they sold Kool-Aid. I went to purchase it. And my pops was looking put for me because they gave me a free drink. God is Good! So is this place. I hope you take the review and run to it.
Thank you, young sir, I needed that...
Came here a few days ago with my kid 30 minutes before closing and i was attended with great customer service. Our food was served in a timely manner and had awesome flavor. I ordered the catfish combo with yams and greens. The man attending us was super friendly and made our experience great. He addressed me by my name and came up with a nickname for my kid. I appreciate the service and quality of food seeing as we got there before closing
I ordered the 3 pc red snapper meal with okra & greens. I love how the greens were drained & didn’t make my fish & okra soggy on the way home. The corn muffin was soft & not too sweet. The okra seemed hand breaded & fried perfectly. The greens were not too done like most soul food restaurants around here, they still had a bite(went around noon). I also appreciate how the sides don’t have any meat in them as I’m pescatarian(only eat seafood). I will be back soon!!

OMG. Ima Philly girl and I have been craving that hole in the wall soul food place in Phoenix and I stumbled across this gem. The wait was like a half hour but I didn’t mind because how good the food smelled. I got a catfish dinner with fried okra and Mac n cheese and a whiting meal with collard greens and Mac n cheese. A side of potato salad and banana pudding. This place is fire I wanna try everything on the menu.
A hole in the wall, that's what you want! Food was great! I got the bbq pork ribs with some veggies, my friend got the fried fish, it beats the boring fast food. I would definitely come back.
This little place is a bit hidden. I drive by there all the time and happen to find it by looking on here for barbecue. I'll start with my favorite.
As you can see in the pictures I ordered many things and I didn't have any company so I brought many leftovers home.
The BBQ beef ribs were tender and meaty. It seems like not many BBQ places have beef ribs anymore. Everybody seems to focus on spare ribs. It was a nice BBQ sauce on the ribs not too sweet but yet a bit of sweetness.
I also ordered a half pound of brisket. It was a little juicy and the BBQ sauce was perfect not too sweet.
The fried chicken was good it was on a special with a shrimp.
The gumbo had a medium spice kick to it the sausage had nice flavor. There was also a good amount of shrimp in there.
And something you don't see often, they had three flavors of kool-aid. I had grape. That was an awesome surprise. I could tell when I walked in this place they were serious about soul food. Everything I had you could taste the home cooking love in it.
End of the things I brought home with me when I reheated that brisket it was just as good as when they made it in the restaurant. I suggest ordering a half pound of that and bring it home with you on top of whatever you eat there.
Everything was great. Great food, great Koolaid, great service. I even love the photos on the wall. Some of the best BBQ sauce I've had. The Brisket was amazing, the chicken was seasoned perfectly. The greens and cabbage were both amazing.
First time here. Compliments to the chef! Catfish/mac n cheese on POINT.
Fried chicken, sausage / fried okra. PERFECT.
Took time to cook which is OK. It was all fresh!
Server at front was very friendly. We will definitely be back. So glad we found you!
AMAZING fried chicken. Loved the yams and green beans as well. I'll definitely be back to try more items as it was my first time!! Definitely the best fried chicken I have had since I moved to Arizona. Corn bread was also amazing. Thank you Stacy and crew!!! Will be back!
Off Da Hook is just amazing! The prices are very reasonable, the takeout offers in particular. But the food is pure awesomeness. The fried chicken is lightly battered and simply perfect. We also had and loved the smothered pork chops, rib tips, and catfish. The latter two while very good couldn't keep up with the chicken and pork chops which were a standout!
Sides were fries, yams, and greens. All great choices! And for dessert (despite having no room) peach cobbler and ice cream. Andre takes obvious pride in the food preparation and his wife Tora couldn't possibly provide better service in the front of the house!
WE... WILL... BE... BACK!!!!
My recent visit to Stacy's Off Da Hook BBQ and Soul Food was fantastic. The soulful, homestyle dishes were incredibly flavorful, especially the BBQ. The portions were generous, and the staff provided warm and welcoming service. This restaurant is a must-visit for those seeking delicious soul food in a cozy atmosphere.
We arrived around 7pm on a Sunday night for dinner. They weren’t super busy. The waitress was super sweet. We all had empty plates by the time we finished. My parents are from the south and love this soul food. My catfish was fresh, moist, hot...personally recommend
