Aimed at families and individuals alike, the new Hook, Line & Southern menu gives consumers a way to enjoy classic seafood dishes with a Southern-inspired twist. For instance, one of the new dishes is the Blackened Rainbow Trout, which boasts a blend of Cajun spices. There's also that new Lobster Quesadilla, which combines lobster meat with alfredo sauce, cheddar cheese, bacon, and diced tomatoes, all folded into a flour tortilla. Alongside the new dishes, O’Charley’s is also bringing back six O’Charley’s seafood favorites. The new Hook, Line & Southern menu is available now through March 31, 2024.
