Open Monday-Sunday @ 11:30am! Last Seating for a table is around 9pm. Check website for changes! The restaurant was opened to the public in November of that year.

In 1949, two brothers, Edward and Bertrand Hoak, purchased what was to become Hoak’s Restaurant. Gus Hoak and Gus Sr., ‘Pop’ Hoak, added their expertise as well as their wit and personality to the everyday operation of the young business in 1955. These four men were psychiatrists, best friends, counselors, advisers and often ‘bankers’ to the many workers and customers who made their place the ‘las

t stop’ on the long way home. Edward and Bertrand continued their co-ownership for 25 years, until Ed passed away in 1974. His wife Mary assumed responsibility of the business until her death in 1977. Ed’s sons, Edward and Michael, purchased the business from Bert in September of 1977. The new partnership led to many structural changes. After suffering severe damage from several lake storms, a break wall was constructed, leading to the building of our patio bar and dining area for your summertime pleasure. Located on the shores of Lake Erie, Hoak’s is operated year-round. The restaurant offers a lovely view of the Buffalo skyline and the Canadian shore, which is only surpassed by the beautiful sunsets. Almost 70 years after the Hoak brothers opened their doors, the fish frys are still flying out of the kitchen seven days a week and 363 days a year and people still crowd the patio to catch the gorgeous summer sunsets. Two of Edward Hoak’s children, Kevin Hoak and Aileen Hoak Lange, have taken over the restaurant they both grew up in. Kevin and Aileen are dedicated to continuing the tradition of excellent seafood with an unrivaled view of Lake Erie and aim to uphold the standards established by their grandfather. They welcome you to pull up a seat, have a drink and some food and hope you feel a part of the large extended Hoak family that has existed here at 4100 Lakeshore Road since 1949. Your Hosts, Kevin & Aileen Hoak
