C. G. Hooks Eatery - White Bear Lake

Terrible service, over priced terrible food, I had to send my tacos back and was going to order something else after looking at the menu for other options. When I went back up to order, I waited for quite a while for someone to come out and take my order, after waiting so long I just decided not to order any food. They obviously didn't have their **** Mary garnishes, the lady next to me ordered one and she got a meat stick, some cheese curds and olives, I ordered one for my wife and I, we got a slice of lemon, a slice of lime and two puny cheese curds. Then another guy had one at the bar and for his garnish he got a bread stick, it's like they just throw together whatever they can find, and they didn't have the cucumber vodka as advertised on their menu. I would not recommend this place nor will I ever come back, staff are very lackadaisical, unobservant, they don't smile at all and quite honestly they look like they hate their job. I gave one star only because you have in order to write a review. I give this place ZERO Stars.

Owner gets food from Sam’s club, not even trying bro.

First time getting any food there BBQ meat was good. Pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket. All three were tasty. Memphis sauce is on the vinegar side if you like that. Unsure why they have online ordering system linked in to their site, but always turned off? It Took a few phone calls on a Friday night to reach someone. Skip the cukes side. Need to try the slaw again to review. Overall, good location for boat up or waterfront takeout. I'm not sure dine in would be good. It was busy and took a little time, but it was also a very nice weekend toward the end of summer.

Owner used beach towel to “clean” table between customers. Even without a pandemic, this is not correct protocol for restaurant table sanitation.

Great ice cream, but you guys should require your patrons to wear masks before entering the small enclosure that is this restaurant. You are creating an unnecessary risk for your employees and other patrons by not requiring the wearing of masks.
