Get Hooked Seafood Kitchen
While we are not 100% sure who came up with the
name Get Hooked Seafood Kitchen, however
"getting hooked" is exactly what happens after you
eat at this thriving, Pine Hills restaurant. Located at
5107 Silver Star Rd., this seafood eatery, owned and
operated by husband and wife team Morris Hicks and
Cara Jackson-Hicks is a must-have! The expansive
menu is a seafood lover's
dream featuring including
shrimp, snow crabs,
fried fish, crawfish, and
even conch salad (which
is made fresh, in-house
daily).
The story of how the restaurant came to be is one
of hard work and determination! Starting out from
doing seafood parties from their home, to plates
out of their car, to eventually moving up to a food
trailer, the couple continuously was building their
brand and demand for their delicious seafood. With
the encouragement of their family and followers,
the Hicks took the leap and opened the restaurant
in 2016. When asked what was the decision behind
opening a restaurant in Pine Hills, Mrs. Hicks' answer
was simple. "This is home!" The Pine Hills native is
an Evans High School graduate who also splits her
time as a realtor. Mr. Hicks, on the other hand, is the
man that makes the magic happen. It was his love for
seafood at an early age with his family who would eat
seafood a couple of times per week.
Those early lessons led to the unique cooking
techniques and seasonings that set this restaurant
apart. The couple has been extremely pleased with
the support of the community and is looking forward
to sponsoring events and activities as their way to
give back to the community.
As with any business owner, expansion is always on
the back of your mind, and it is no different for the
Hicks. Opening a second location is something the
couple has discussed. And while it's in the cards,
they are still working towards that goal. When asked
about where they might envision a second location,
several locations came up as possibilities including
Kissimmee or even an East Orlando location.
Whichever location they choose, the surrounding
neighborhood is in for a treat.
The Hicks family wishes to extend a heartfelt,
meaningfully, and sincere thank you to all of their
customers for their business. "The greatest gift you can
bestow is to let us know you’ve enjoyed our seafood
by telling and referring a friend, if you haven’t enjoyed
it, please tell us so we may have the opportunity to
correct the issue."
If you are ready for some really good food, this place is
a must-try. Hint!-Try the steam shrimp bowl,
a New Orleans-style dish with potatoes, corn,
and sausage. It's almost a 100% guarantee
that you will get hooked!
