    Hank's in Delaware is the place to be, spacious bright, clean, bar atmosphere with a full bar. Try the breaded wings, and Braised Brisket Quesadilla both are very good. The meat platters come with two sides. The Brisket is the very best you will find anywhere, and the UBS are very meaty.

    Hanks Crush and my Texas Crush ( my wiiife) She approves of this place already.

    I've seen this place become about 15 different things over the 40 years. I've lived in the area and I've got to say I think this is gonna be the final phase of this building is constant transformations. Hanks is here to stay. The barbecue is amazing. The atmosphere is wonderful. I really think they know what they're doing. We sat at the bar and our bartender. Amber was amazing.

    Remodeled building with lots of space and options

    Great Surprise! Real BBQ nearby and yet fun indoor/outdoor experience. Friend asked if we wanted to try this new BBQ on Rt42. Popped in on Friday night around 7 and the place was jammed. Nice new well lit parking lot, easy building access. Lot was full, gravel lot across road was full, and the ditches were full. It was the place to be!! Hostess greeted us friendly and they have a very nice/big waiting around (even table hockey). Great flow - Entrance-waiting area-bar(accessible while waiting), indoor seating and outdoor patio /yard. We had brief wait and grabbed drinks (Drafts - Hanks Saucy Ale was a hit; Wine, and good stock of hard options). Bar staff were super fun and friendly and running around supporting full bar. (Thanks All!). Table ready and server (Awesome Amber! ) was promptly at our side refreshing drinks and offering suggestions and ideas! Our quad tried it all, Loaded Corn Cakes, Salads, Meat Plates (Turkey, Pork, Brisket), and their Mac&Cheese was amazing. Everything came out quick and hot! No one was dissapointed and we all want to go back. Preparing to go? -- go hungry, be patient as its worth a little wait, grab a drink, socialize, and be casual when you park - as you have many options around the building. Staff is friendly - so just enjoy your night. We did!

    Food is amazing! Staff was so nice and welcoming and seemed genuinely happy to have us there. Super impressed with the fact that they had several N/A options. Thank you thank you thank you!!

    Delicious food! First we started with the queso dip appetizer, a little thin but tasty. Fried pickle chips were good because the pickles actually tasted fresh and chunky. I had the loaded corn cakes which were a zesty combination. My husband and another friend chose the two meat entrees. Favorite sides were the beans and Mac and cheese. Jalapeño sausage,ribs and pulled pork were fantastic. Another friend enjoyed the Steve's way corn cakes. At first our entrees did not look like a lot of food But we were full when we left. It's great to see a new bustling place in this location as I have passed it for years hoping something new would go there. I just can't give it 5 stars yet because of speed of service. Michelle our server was wonderful! She moved all night. It was the missing steps or staffing when it came to busing tables. We were there from 5-7:30 total on Friday evening. In that time multiple tables were left with dirty dishes, including ours. I have worked in the restaurant industry so it is something I noticed. An easy solution would be to have the kitchen delivery people pick up something as they walk by or the staff that we got to watch stand and take a drink at the soda machine. Also please use a phone based table waiting system, your host will definitely have an easier time on those busy evenings.

    All the meat! We added Mac and Cheese,  and Cornbread. No complaints. Sunday mid day good time to go, got right in.

    All the meat! Very good, we added two sides (Mac and cheese , and cornbread). Dessert we got was Buckeye pie in a cup. (Yum) Sunday, midday, good time to go. No wait and quick, friendly service. 15% Military was a nice perk!

    BarBquetery Board (probably misspelled!), Mac and cheese, and cornbread.

    The food is amazing. There are 4 styles of BBQ in Texas. What Hanks serves is closer to the East version (Houston). The owner lived in Texas and sourced his equipment specifically from Texas. Before you go in thinking you KNOW Texas BBQ because you lived there, be sure you actually know there are several styles from the state you came from. Now, the food. This was our first trip to Hanks on 42. The food is just as delicious as it is in Clintonville. In fact, we felt it was somehow better. Our food came out very fast. We also had no wait. Our waitresses (we had 2!), were very thorough and we were well taken care of. All of the meat was extremely tender and melt in your mouth worthy. Seasoned very well, you can eat it with one of their sauces but it's not a miss if you go without! The corn bread was delicious (though we suggest the loaded versions). The BarBquetery board (probably misspelled) gives you a bit of everything meat-wise to taste. We had enough left over for additional meals throughout the week. The Mac and cheese is our favorite side. Very creamy and delicious. The atmosphere at the US 42 site is relaxed. It looks very different than their other spot in Clintonville. It is also far more spacious, which helps with the noise. Honestly, that was the detractor for us at the Clintonville location, smaller and far too noisy. The bar area is beautiful, I wish I would have nabbed a photo. Very Texas themed. The US-42 location also has several TV's, games, and TouchTunes. It also offers an outdoor section that looks like it would be a great place to hang out when the weather warms up! We got there around 12 on a Sunday. We were immediately sat. However, by the time we left, a wait was growing. I'd say if you want to give this place a shot, arrive early on the weekend. Go, you won't regret it!

    We arrived at 3:55pm on Saturday evening and there was already a line stretched out of about 10 couples/families waiting at the door. We were let in promptly at 4:00 and seated quickly. My husband and I opted to sit at the bar. There were 3 bartenders/servers ready and willing to take our orders or just let us have some drinks and watch sports at their many TVs. We ordered the dip appetizer and I loved the guacamole while my husband loved the pimento dip. Dinner arrived and Wow the brisket is a hands down winner!! Melt in your mouth. Also if you like spicy, go for the jalapeño cheddar sausage. I will be going back just for this. As for sides, green beans-yes, potato salad-if you like mustard based, Mac and cheese-creamy and cheesy. The inside is beautiful and from what I saw the patio looked nice. More waiting area seating is much needed however. Arrive early or you will be waiting!! Excellent all around

    I absolutely loved this place. Right outside of downtown Powell. Perfect, chill, relaxed…read morerestaurant. The re-opening KILLED it. My waitress?! BEST EVER!!! She legit was doing everything by herself (bartended, waited on our tables). While the hostess did absolutely nothing & did not make her useful at all. Like a help a sister out lol. Keep up the amazing work!!! I got a spicy cucumber margarita & MY GOSH!!! I was in love. Best cocktail ever. I love me a refreshing, not sweet DRANK. Hit the spot, no doubt. I got the cheese flatbread pizza. It was alright. Not awesome. I would not get again. Perfect for children. A lot of cheese, did not love the flavor of the sauce or the flatbread in general. Perfect for a fast date, watching games, casual fam dinner or quick spot to eat. Go check it out!!!!!!!!! Cya soon!!

    Came in during their grand opening Saturday around 1:00 pm. They were donating 10% of their sales…read morefor the day to Autism Society of Central Ohio. This alone made me want to support this business. They clearly care about their community. Throughout the dining experience I witnessed the staff and owners really demonstrate a desire to be an inclusive environment for all of their guests. The interior/decor has not changed much since it was Gallop's. I think they could work on streamlining and refining their brand/esthetic...from interior to branding, and even their menu. But, regardless the food and service were phenomenal. Their menu has a wide range of options and I was really surprised that everything we ordered was delicious. Portions were very generous and cost was reasonable. Food was quick to come out despite the menu being large. The mock tail was soooo good! A perfect balance of sweetness and tart. While the shrimp Guac bites were a little difficult to eat, the Guac tasted super fresh and the shrimp were plump and cooked perfectly. The wings were cooked perfectly, Ruben done well, and the fish sandwich HUGE. They seem to still be working out some POS organization, etc. as we were accidentally overcharged when adding fries to our sandwich. But the server apologized for the mistake. Overall, I really hope to see this establishment grow and succeed! I look forward to coming back when brunch starts and the patio is open!

The main floor has the bar and also easy spaces to sit. Once you become a member you can bring 2 people with you. Explore the private spaces on the other floors. Interesting displays and art work throughout the areas. The staff is great, top shelf service from the moment you meet the door man to the bartenders. If you order a bourbon flight, be sure to ask for the flight book. Every time you order a flight , you get a stamp in your book. The bar will keep your book on file there for you. The cocktails are signature drinks. Which only can be obtained here and no other place. Great place if you live in the area. Memberships are inexpensive and you get a great place to bring your friends, clients, whoever. You will certainly impress and delight those you bring here.
