Our Story
Best Seafood Dining Since 2016
Seven (07) intrepid souls gathered in search of a business venture to hopefully help supplement their respective livelihoods and grow their aspirations for financial stability and freedom, in a land they now fondly consider their second home – the UAE.
A homegrown brand from Abu Dhabi, Off-the-Hook was created with a noble purpose and fairly realistic objective in mind. The intention is to start a distinctly unique concept for an F&B enterprise, aimed at providing fun-dining experiences for guests. Beyond this, we aspire to utilize the business venture as both a springboard and showcase for our advocacy of creating a genuinely socially mindful organization.
Prepare to eat
with your hands!
We believe that eating should be a fun experience where people gather and share happy thoughts, emotions and mutually indulge in carefree laughter. This we try to achieve by highlighting our very own authentically unique Filipino hospitality in fusion with the not-so- common “Creole” flavors of good, high quality seafood gastronomies that is, at the same time, well-priced and reasonably affordable.
Simultaneously, we seek to help create a better world by providing meaningful, highly engaged and upwardly mobile livelihood/s for all and in doing so, make a difference by improving lives; one person at a time.
This is our commitment; the very reason we keep the Fun Dining going and our kitchen pots Always Boiling and our catches Always Fresh… every single day.
Competitive Edge.
Off the Hook is a unique FUN dining experience where the words “healthy and delicious” blend perfectly together. Delectably tempting seafood is one of the healthiest things you can put on your plate as it is a food known to be a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Louisiana style, Off the Hook, takes pride in preparing sumptuous meals in their most natural form possible. Rest assured you will be eating “real” food — those that are un- or minimally processed, refined, and handled, – something your palate will enjoy and your body happy to absorb
Our competitive edge is the menu, environment, and service – put together to create a memorable FUN- dining experience! We specialize in seafood boils made from the freshest ingredients and produce available, complemented by our chef’s distinctive blend of sauces. The excellent taste of our food is perfected by our warm environment and great customer service. Our management and servers are trained to handle every detail to make sure you, our customers are treated in a delightful manner. All menu items are reasonably priced for the area. While we are not striving to be the lowest-priced restaurant, we are aiming to be the value leader.
