    Hank burger, fries and side of slaw.
    Renee B.

    This is my third time at Hank's in three months. Every time I arrive the staff has a great attitude upbeat happy go lucky and loves their job. Staff is great at recommending suggestions. Food is fantastic as I haven't had anything bad. Thus far, I've had the pork tenderloin sandwich, El Reno, tempura, fried vegetables, and Hank burger. Love the indoor outdoor space which flows nicely into an area that has outside TVs in additional outside bar. Lovely space - I will definitely go back!

    This place is a cool sports bar with a fun vibe and solid food. I'm glad I finally made it out here. We went a little before noon on a Saturday in winter. It filled up pretty quick after we arrived. The service was solid. We got a quick rundown since it was our first visit. I settled on a beer and a burger with tots. The beer can was vented at the top for airflow and drinkability. I hadn't ever seen that at a bar before. I went with the El Reno burger. It was solid. This place is good for kids. They have high top high chairs. I haven't ever seen that before either. One thing I saw after I left, something to note if Hanks is too busy, Hanks food can be ordered and enjoyed at Friction Beer Co around the corner in some capacity. That'd be worth looking into if it's too busy to get a seat.

    Awesome location, cool building, service was decent. The chicken wrap was pretty good, broccolini had a spicy touch to it was tasty. The smash burgers were both great, French Fries were good, loaded tots were not for "me" there is a lot going on and just not worth the additional $4. It's about $18-20$ per entry which seemed a little step for a burger, but I still would recommend it for sure, patio is awesome when the weather is nice.

    At first glance, Hank's appears to have everything required for me to truly love a place...so why did I not love it? It's got an old-school feel of a neighborhood dive of the past with great music, fantastic decor, and an amazing staff. I mean, I should totally love it here! But I only came close for one reason...the food. Now I want to be very clear, the food wasn't bad. It just didn't live up to the expectations created by everything else going on with this establishment. I got the Hank's Original because I'm a sucker for a good smash burger, but the patties here are paper-thin even by smash burger standards, and the sauce they use overpowers any flavor that you could get from the burger patties. The burger was fine. It just wasn't anything that made me yearn to rush back and have it again, you know? I also took a walk on the wild side to try the strangest thing on the menu, their spam fries. And I was mildly taken aback at how well they were done. But I really didn't care for the 'banana ketchup' that came with them. They were better plain. But I'd suggest to share these with others as I soon got tired of them; although I will admit that big fans of spam may not have that problem.

    Joined some friends for dinner and a few drinks. The waiter was helpful. They have a very large drink menu to choose from. I went with the double hank's burger with tots. They burger was good and had a good amount of toppings. I was told the hot dogs are good as well. Next time I will give one of the options a chance. For those that want to catch the game there are a lot of tv's to watch on. With its location there are also a lot of options to go bar hopping and never leave the block.

    It was about time the Shawnee area got a cool spot like this!! The patio area was exactly what the weather ordered. It is fenced in, so there are plenty of kids running around and parents enjoying beverages. I got the Aperol Spritz, and the ratio was spot on. For food, my husband and I got the Hanks and the El Reno burgers to split. The El Reno was the show stopper for sure. I'm a sucker for a good smash burger, and Hanks has clearly cracked the code. The crispy edges (aka the holy grail "meat lace") were doing all of the talking. Overall, great patio, great drinks, and phenomenal burgers. Shawnee has officially leveled up!!

    Came for lunch on a Sunday early afternoon. Parking is limited right next to the restaurant, but they have a sign out front directing to nearby lots that are available. We had a party of 6 and wee seated within 10 minutes. The menu is small, but somehow still has a great variety. Everyone at our table ordered something completely different. For myself I got the shrimp po boy with tots. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and seasoned well - blackened. The lettuce wa crisp and the tomatoes were ripe. The remoulade sauce was a great accompaniment, adding a touch of creaminess and balance to the blackening spice. The tots were crispy and perfectly salted, they even got approval from my 1-year old. I would definitely order this again.

    I stopped back and my second visit was as good as the first! I sat at the bar and the service was quick. I had my Hanks Original burger within a couple of minute. The burger was smashed beautifully! It was juicy and flavorful! The whole meal was just the right size to fill me up but not sit too heavy! Good vibe, good service, good food!

    Every once in a while you stumble upon a restaurant that actually lives up to the insane hype built around it and my friends, Hanks is just that. A few months ago I had a lunch date with my husband and after going back and forth on local spots we both had been wanting to try we landed on Hank's. The worst thing about Hank's is the parking, which is what you'll encounter first. It's not their fault though, it's a popular part of downtown Shawnee and you should honestly expect to hunt a bit for a spot during peak hours. Once we found our spot we made our way in and found a short wait for a table. They could have seated us outside but it was just too hot for our taste so we didn't mind waiting. It's worth noting though, that Hank's boasts a large and well designed patio that I'm sure would make for excellent outdoor dining once the heat lifts. Once seated we had only what I can describe as a really great lunch. Everything from the server, to the local beers on tap, to the elevated pub fare, was honestly great. There is usually something I don't love but Hank's hit all the marks for me, and what really impressed us as parents was that the menu was really kid friendly too, which made us add this to our list of places we could bring the girls on a weekend and find a little something for everyone.

    Hank's original burger and loaded tots
    Susan F.

    Tucked into a renovated old automotive repair shop in the heart of Old Downtown Shawnee, this trendy new burger and beer spot is already making a name for itself. The industrial-chic space blends retro charm with a hip, laid-back vibe--complete with neon glow and retro-style seating that channels pure Americana nostalgia. We stopped in and were immediately impressed by the friendly, welcoming staff and the spacious layout. There's plenty of seating both inside and out, making it a perfect hangout spot no matter the weather. The menu is refreshingly simple, which lets the flavors shine. We tried Hank's Original Burger--juicy, flavorful, and cooked to order--alongside loaded tots that were the ultimate indulgence. The shrimp po' boy and spicy slaw added a nice Southern kick, balancing rich textures with tangy heat. To wash it all down, we paired our meals with a Torn Label Monk & Honey and an Old Spice beer--both brews that complemented the food perfectly. From the nostalgic touches to the made-to-order food and craft beer selection, this spot hits all the right notes. It's the kind of place you stumble upon once and know you'll be back. Highly recommend venturing over to give it a try!

    A group of us walked in to Hanks Garage on a Friday night when the weather was super pleasant in KC. The wait for a table for 4 was about 30 minutes. Nothing a good convo and people watching can't take care of. I tried the Hanks Original Burger with fries, but I added grilled onions. The sauce on the burger was stellar! It was so tart and acidic, right up my alley. The fries were just OK in my opinion. They're basically steak fries in shape, but half the thickness. I would prefer them thicker. My partner also enjoyed his Pork Tenderloin sandwich as well. The menu is a little eclectic with Pasta dishes and Hot Dogs as well. I'd go back for the burger or explore something else on the menu.

    Tempura Tenderloin and loaded tater tots

    Hanks has their aesthetic down to a T. Everything is well designed and comfortable. It's a laid back atmosphere and the food hits all the marks. I opted for the tempera tenderloin and loaded tots. The tenderloin had a sauce that gave it a little kick and with the iceberg lettuce gave hints of a Big Mac. Overall it was well prepared and tasty, I would probably opt for the burger though next time. The loaded tots were great, but you also really can't go wrong with tots imo! Excited to come back and try this place again. Overall great experience and the service was quick and polite.

    Awesome spot to hang out on a nice day! Hank's has great indoor/outdoor space available from high tops, low tops, and bars. Service was incredibly fast, and we had our entire meal and drinks within about 40 minutes. I had to try the "Hank" lager which is a partner beer with Alma Mader and a beer that fits Hank's vibes. The burgers were awesome and the kids enjoyed the fried hotdog meals. Definitely recommend! PS - they also have NFL Sunday Ticket which is a great perk on a beautiful Sunday afternoon

Thankfully most items have a reference picture so it was easier to gauge what you're getting, which I appreciated. I'd recommend getting the Honky Tonky (with bbq sauce on the side) bc it was a perfect balance of salty and sweet. Other burgers were good too (not all were shown n some I forgot the names), so high chance they'll turn out good. Appetizers id recommend (not shown) is the Spare Parts Appetizer that lets you sample a lot. Several were good like the jalapeños n cheese curds. As for the price and portion though, I don't think it was that worth it.... The burgers aren't that big compared to other places and the fries portion was kinda small too. So for the price of $20 after tax, just not worth it. Yummy but I could always get burgers somewhere else too. Atmosphere: if you're into cars, bikes, all the edgy garage and western decor, you'll like this place. It was fun to look around and see how this place was decorated. It can be a lot though. In terms of space wise, lots of rooms and tables around. We had a party of 11 and were thankfully able to make it work on a busy day. Service: our server was chill and patient with us. Felt like our burgers came out at a reasonable timeframe.
