Description
The Hooker is named after a fishing boat that plies the waters of Galway Bay, not a lady of the night. While the fare falls short of making this place a real gastropub, the food is better than it needs to be. Fried to a deep and agreeable brown, the French fries alone are worth a visit, served with a British curry sauce. The hamburgers--juicy and lean and served on a nice seeded bun--run from the ho-hum to the Hooker Burger, which piles up the patty with fatty Irish bacon, cheddar cheese, and a fried egg, making a gut bomb of major proportions. Other desirable menu items include the usual cottage pie, a nice Caesar salad, and an all-day-and-into-the-night full Irish breakfast.
