    Jalapeo Cheddar Corn Bread
    Rayce P.

    We had a good time checking out Hancock! This looks like a really fun hangout space during the warmer months--lots of outdoor seating, garage doors that open to the restaurant's interior, and lots of table games and yard games. Our favorite item we tried was the jalapeño cheddar cornbread, which was just the right balance of flavors. We'll have to come by and try some of the drinks sometime!

    I love Hancock for a quick bite for lunch, I can order at the counter and the staff will bring it out quickly! Their tenders and filets have a great crisp without too much breading. Careful on the spice level- things get hot quick! They have lots of space with lots of seating both inside, and on the patio. We opted for outside since it was such a nice day. Try this spot for your next work lunch break!

    love Hancock! The service is always really quick and the food is yummy. Also am a big fan of the alcoholic slushie's and the outdoor seating/games in the summer. Great place for all ages

    This place is incredibly aesthetic! Looks so good on the inside and out! The boozy slushies are so perfect in the summer along with their patio games and abundant seating outside. Love the chicken sandwiches here and the crinkly fries! The jalapeno cornbread is my favorite appetizer! Definitely check this place out! I frequently order takeout from here as well! Just soooo good! Yummy!

    I started with a Bloody Mary, which came with a CHICKEN TENDER on top!!!! Honestly, you could serve me an empty glass with a chicken tender on top and I'd be thrilled (please don't though ). This bloody had lots of delicious seasoning, which led to great flavor, but also led to a last few gulps that were THICK with salt and seasoning. If you order this, stir CONSTANTLY (but it's worth it to do so!) Derek and I both ordered the fried chicken wraps. He got his the spiciest possible, and said it wasn't unbearable, but it was pretty much the hottest heat level you can get at a restaurant. (I got traditional because I'm a baby, and it was delicious ). The real star of the show, though, is the pimento mac and cheese. You may have seen it in my story, but this might have been the best mac and cheese I've ever had. I've since been told to try it without bread crumbs, and I'm definitely going to do this, but even with the crumbs, it was pretty bomb.

    Hancock has such a fun setup -- the interior is super cool, and the outdoor space with games gives it a great hangout vibe. Definitely a fun place to meet friends or grab a drink outside. As for the food, it was pretty good but not amazing. I had the chicken tenders, which were juicy but not very flavorful on their own. The ranch and special sauce helped a lot and were both solid. The mashed potatoes and gravy were easily the best thing I had -- creamy, flavorful, and comforting. The biscuit was a little dry, but the honey butter was good. Overall, it's a nice place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere, but the food didn't totally wow me. Definitely better to dine in than order delivery!

    Take out review! As some others noted, the take out bag was a little bit greasy. Nothing that would create a mess. Starting with the appetizer, the jalapeño cornbread-it was good, but honestly, I would prefer without the jalapeño- the bites without tasted better. I do wish I had more corn as well. The entrées of the chicken tender with fries combo were both really good. My husband said the chicken was the most well cooked chicken he has ever had. He said it would fall off the bone (if it had one). The fries were also very well cooked and still crispy after it's journey to our house. You could definitely tell that they change their fryer oil consistently. The pimento mac & cheese was OK. I love pimento and I love cheese and I did not feel that it was cheesy enough. It was a little bit cold so maybe that impacted it. I'd be willing to try it again. The sauces were all pretty good. The ranch just tasted like hidden valley. The hot oil was good, but I didn't feel like oil was the best sauce for the tenders. The Hancock hot was really good. It tasted like a better version of buffalo sauce. The comeback sauce tasted like ranch with extra spices

    Planned to order online and pick up but the wait time online said 45min. Decided to just drive in and order. Took exactely 5 min which was great. They have a pretty large outdoor seating area and enough indoor space for eating in but we took our food to go. Kept well and didn't get soggy. Got the jalapeno corn bread and a cocktail to go as well as our chicken meals. I gotta say, the chicken tenders slappppped. Loved the sweet style chicken.

    Our server at Winchester recommended Hancock to us on one of our visits, so we finally gave it a try! We were not expecting a fast casual environment, but it was quick nonetheless. The comeback sauce was very good. The chicken sandwiches and salad were good, but did not stand out to us overall.

    Yum yum yum!!! You just can't go wrong with good fried chicken. Also, Hancock's jalapeño cheddar corn bread is incredible - I need to know how they got it so golden and perfectly crisp! The service was chill and friendly. Great lunch environment!

    The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the food come out quickly. They have the option to order inside at the counter or a take out window. They give you a number and bring the food to your table. They have a good variety of alcoholic drinks is available. Seating is first come first serve. The outside seating area is really cute, open and spacious. There are games available as an activity for adults and kids alike. Some card games are available inside. All in all a really laid back atmosphere and a great place to bring your kiddos along.

    We enjoyed a lovely Sunday drive and decided to stop at Hancock for a late brunch. Upon entering, we found the bright and cozy atmosphere inviting. We chose a table by the street. The servers were friendly, competent, and accommodating, guiding us through the ordering process. I ordered the Hatch burger with a side of Pimento Mac and Cheese, while my wife opted for a Brussels Sprout salad, adding fried chicken tenders to her dish. Street parking is available and free on Sundays. It's worth checking out.

    Hancock is one of my favorite fried chicken places - I went at least once a month when I lived in Grand Rapids and still go every time I visit the city. We recently visited Grand Rapids for two days and ate at Hancock not once, but two times. Half Chicken ($20.00) - Hancock allows you to choose two different spice levels for the chicken. We went with hot and hotter. I believe the level is controlled by a mixture of dry spice (shaker available at the condiment station) and the hot oil. The spice level here is legit - a lot of other hot chicken places in Michigan tend to tone down their spices levels - this hot, on the other hand, is actually mouth burning hot. The hotter is even worse, first starting with a pleasant heat, then building up after around 10 seconds until my mouth was on fire for the next couple of minutes. My first thought after eating the breading, on the bottom soaking with the hot oil: "I think I made a mistake." My partner noted how my face immediately turned red, sweat started pouring down my face, and I started violently hiccuping. And yet, the spice does not overwhelm the flavor. There's a complex aromatic and fragrant chili flavor from the very start. Both the breading and chicken itself are appropriated salted (brined in the case of the chicken). The chicken is tender and flavorful and deliciously juicy. It is so tender that it falls off the bone, even on the wing tips. Everything is in harmony and basically seasoned perfectly. Dare I say the chicken served at Hancock is as good as any place in Nashville? This meal comes with two sides - we chose the Baked Beans and Pimento Mac & Cheese. The beans are mostly tender with a tiny bit of a firm bite. The sauce is a bit sweet, aromatic with a bit of a crunch from onions. There's a bit of bacon added in for additional savory saltiness. The mac & cheese is creamy and rich. The macaroni is cooked just a tad over al dente, so still retaining a bit of bite. The sauce isn't too salty and is a great reprieve to help dampen out some of the heat from the chicken. Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Bread ($6) - Love this cornbread. It's coated and fried, so it creates a very nice crisp skin while still allowing the interior to remain fluffy and moist. There's a strong fresh jalapeno flavor but only a very mild spice, especially compared to the chicken. The corn flour is studded with whole corn kernels for surprising pops full of flavor. The corn bread is served with honey butter on the side - sweet, buttery, rich, delicious. We went back the next night to eat the chicken freshly fried, this time going with hot for half and sweet for the other half. The hot this time was just a pleasant tingle. My best guess is that on the previous day, all the oil from the hotter ended up in a giant pool and also soaked the hot. The sweet is basically the fried chicken basted in the delicious honey butter glaze. Delicious. And as before, all the chicken is tender, fall of the bone, and exceptionally moist and juicy. Usually the tender portion of the breast can tend to be dry and bland, but this one is brined well and you can dip it in the excess oil on the plate for another hit of flavor. The exterior breading also adds a nice crisp. This is a top tier fried chicken. For the sides, I chose the Pimento Mac & Cheese (again, delicious) and the Mashed Yukons & Gravy - creamy, but with larger chunks of potato mixed in and a very herbal and aromatic gravy ladled on top. I do not recommend getting the hot chicken to-go for three reasons. Firstly, the box they use to house the chicken is not waterproof on the bottom. When I lifted it up, the hot oil burst out from the box and splashed all over my hands and the carpet of my car. Secondly, the breading in this case does not do well at all if you don't dig in immediately. And lastly - the hot oil contaminates the other food in the box, rendering the milder pieces of chicken spicier than expected. Yet, I would still give the takeout fried chicken a 5! I definitely recommend eating at Hancock while in Grand Rapids. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms Overall rating of the food for both visits: 5/5

    I've had Raising Cane's before in East Lansing and it was okay. I don't really get the hype around…read morethis place, but of course I had to try it for myself as it's the first in the area. The lines have been super long but Nate stopped by one evening to grab us a three tender meal. I can't speak to the drive through experience as I wasn't there, but it seems pretty efficient and they have a couple lanes. The three tender combo is about $10 and the tenders were quite small. They were pretty crispy, especially for coming from a drive through 20 minutes away, so I was happy about that (previous tenders I've had from Raising Cane's were soggy). The fries were still warm and seasoned well, and I personally enjoy crinkle fries. The Sprite was crisp and they use that good pebble ice. I personally don't care for Texas toast, so I wish they had an option for more fries instead of toast. Overall it's a decent chain but not something I really need to go out of my way for.

    Went in on Sunday,it was busy but they moved the line quickly. Couple things that made it a 3…read morestar. The breading on my chicken tenders wasn't cooked all the way. The sauce was amazing. Fries were dececent. Bread not toasted all the way. Largest concern is the bathrooms. It must not have an employee break room or separate bathrooms because they use the customer bathrooms for their break and catching up on social media. Waited 15 minutes for two employees [only 2 bathrooms) to finish in the restroom.

    I had high hopes for this place reading all of the things about me to order chicken and it be…read morenatural. It seemed pretty popular as a couple of people had placed orders before me and were waiting for their food and then they were a few people after me as well. It does take a while for you to get your food, though. I was willing to wait. They did mess up my order and gave me a barbecue chicken wrap instead of a buffalo chicken wrap that I ordered. I feel like this may have thrown them off maybe not but my chicken was way over sauced it really took away from the flavor of the chicken itself and I'm pretty sure I don't even know if there was any blue cheese because all I could taste with sauce. The jalapeño poppers were meh and they didn't really have a special sauce that comes with them. I am surprised they didn't do anything to make up for messing my order and making me wait longer. I may give them another shot but will have to request that they only put a little sauce or on the side.

    Stopped by during my break today…read more Lots of options for chicken lovers! I chose traditional wings with the sweet chili sauce. Got fries and a drink for 19.00. Flavor was great! Wings were kind of small. Waffle fries were fresh and crispy. Clean restaurant! 2 small issues. They don't have wet wipes to clean your hands. Not a big deal They also only have packets of ketchup and I love ketchup so I was hopping for a bottle. I will return and try again.
