I've been to Hank's on multiple occasions, for brunch, lunch, happy hour, and dinner. It's a bit hit or miss depending on what time you go and what you order to eat. Service is always solid. I went for brunch this weekend and had a very pleasant experience. It helps it was an extremely gorgeous day and we waited for a table out on the massive patio. Got a delicious round of cocktails and then sampled most of the brunch menu - the picnic fried chicken, burger, avocado toast, and the breakfast sampler. The fried chicken was juicy and tasty, the burger was just ok. Good fries. Hard to mess up avocado toast or a breakfast sampler. It's a bit expensive for what it is, but I think you're also paying for the decor and aesthetic. I always leave being like "that was fine" but then end up returning anyway because the menu is pretty easy for picky eaters, the drinks are good, and the place is cute. read more

Hank's serves some major Instagram ~aesthetics~. Upon entering, I was pleased by how modern yet inviting the decor looked. "Great spot for a Sunday brunch or a date night," I thought. Ample parking space ensures a smooth experience, along with the energetic and eager-to-please staff. The wait on a Saturday afternoon was reasonable-- a short 15 mins while I caught up with some good friends. Is the food as good as how the restaurant presents itself? Mainly yes! The fried chicken (yes, you need to order this) was perfectly crispy and flavorful. The blueberries pancakes are fluffier than you can imagine. Least impressive were the Eggs Benedict... pretty standard fare-- good but not memorable. I can't wait to try out more! read more

What was once a grocery store is now a trendy spot with awesome food and craft cocktails. The food is creative and homey. It is also family friendly. My toddler loves the little rocking horses. Those horses buy us an extra 15 min of time out. Kids menu is also well loved. We go back all the time. Brunch, Happy Hour, Dates, lunch... can't find wrong! read more

SUCH good breakfast food! I have been coming here for a while for breakfast/brunch and love all the options. I got the avocado toast with poached eggs and it was delicious (used very good sourdough!). It also came with a yummy arugula salad. My mom got the breakfast sandwich and she said it was amazing! read more

Hank's is so beautiful inside and out. The interior is great and the service was wonderful. The servers were so polite. We switched servers about twice but they were both fantastic. It also isn't too expensive for what seems to be a slightly higher end restaurant. I ordered the turkey and gruyere for lunch with a side of Brussels sprouts. It was amazing and delicious! The turkey and gruyere had the right amount of a kick while maintaining the crispy yet soft bread that didn't get too mushy. The flavors were all around solid and the Brussels sprouts is a must! The sandwich was huge, and there was enough for me to take home for a second meal! You definitely won't be disappointed. read more

Really nice breakfast! The kind I will want to come back to. (Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit)

Hanks has an all day Café menu, as well as a sit-down restaurant lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch menu. We sat in the cafe, where we ordered our usual drink orders and lunch. The baristas were friendly and charming as we placed our order. We ordered an iced latte with almond milk and an iced chai with oat milk. Both drinks were pure perfection, delivering exactly the refreshment we were hoping for. For lunch, we ordered the garden & goat salad with pan seared shrimp and the turkey gruyere sandwich with sweet potato fries. On top the salad were the three most juicy shrimps I've ever consumed. They were plump, well seasoned, and perfectly cooked. The goat cheese in the salad paired wonderfully with the golden beets, which were smooth, soft, and flavorful. The candied pecans added a nice crunch and sweet note to the salad, pairing well with the herb vinaigrette. The turkey gruyere sandwich was an absolute hunk, arriving on a humongous and fresh piece of sourdough toast. The aioli and grain mustard on the sandwich was the perfect combination paired with the turkey and gruyere cheese. The only thing deducting this sandwich from perfect was the toughness of the bread, I wish it was just a bit softer and a little less toasted. The sweet potato fries were immaculate. The burst of orange on the plate led its way to an even greater burst of flavors in my mouth with the fresh parsley. read more

My wife and I went to Hanks to celebrate her birthday. We chose Hanks because we saw Shrimp and Grits on the menu. We found the drinks to be as expected. GREAT. The shrimp and grits were also great. My mind had pictured the dish like so many other places serve it. A bowl of creamy consistency grits. What we got was 3 cubes of (I'll say) fried grits. Each cube had one jumbo shrimp. It was all covered with delicious sauce. Turned out to be some of the best grits I have had since my trip to Savanah. We had the Chantilly Cake for desert. It was beyond delicious. Hanks has come a long way since they opened. It is now a must go to eatery in Austin. The only way you can go wrong is to not go. read more

The food was delicious but I feel like the prices could be a little better. The service was average! The place itself had a nice feel to it.

I'm happy at Hank's and that's a big accomplishment for a restaurant to achieve. Their light, airy atmosphere brings out a cheerful Luci while she dines, so even if I wasn't a fan of everything, I can at least eat it with a smile on my face. I've been here twice and I sat inside once and outside the second time. I would recommend the interior, because you're not lacking in light - just flies. Seriously there were so many flies on the patio, we couldn't catch a break. Inside it is from now on. I have had the avocado toast here twice now and once it was spectacular and the other time it was a bit too heavy on the beansprouts. (they overpower the avo). I'll probably venture outside that dish the next time, but the best thing I've had here was the tomato soup. It's creamy and delicious. I spied a grilled cheese on the menu last time I was there that is dying to be dipped into that tomato soup. The staff is also great. Our last waitress was nice and chatty and my first bartender was polite and attentive, so keep it up Hank's! read more

The place is beautiful and the food is always good. It isn't the most budget friendly but the portions are large and the happy hour is pretty great. The wait staff has always been stellar every time we go. Try the spicy chicken sandwich it's where it's at! read more

I've only came here twice for brunch. If you can make a reservation because they are always busy. We had a big table reserved in their patio area. Nice day and they were pretty busy inside and out. My friend even brought her dog since we were outside. They were so great and even brought the big guy a water bowl. Again, I emphasize I know they were busy but I feel like we didn't have the best service. It took forever to get us our orange juice. We ended up getting it like right before our meal came out. I had ordered the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes because they sounded delicious. I also ordered a side of eggs, potatoes and sausage. This was similar to a plate they have on the menu. The server ended up ringing it up as the plate and it came with sourdough bread which I didn't want since I was getting pancakes. I'm glad I ordered the sides because I ended up finishing the plate before the pancakes arrived. I told him to cancel it if it was still coming because all my friends were already done eating. The waiter did remove it. My friend had asked for check before our food even came out because she just got a Bloody Mary. It took 30 minutes to get her check. She did say it was the best Bloody Mary she's had. My other friend had asked for her check right when the food came out because she couldn't believe it took 30 minutes for our other friend to get hers. She didn't get her check for 40 minutes. My suggestion would be more wait staff? It took forever to get our checks when the rest of us wanted to close out too. read more

Hank's is a really cute brunch/lunch spot as well as a cafe in austin (north east ish of ut campus)! they have half off burgers on Mondays with the option of either a cheeseburger or veggie burger. i ordered the veggie burger with a side of sweet potato fries (also included). the veggie burger was pretty good, but the patty is mainly carbs which made it a bit heavy especially with the bun. the sweet potato fries were really good and well seasoned, and matched perfectly with the sauce it came with. overall, a pretty delicious meal, but i would try the cheeseburger next time read more

I came in on a Monday night without reservations. The place was not busy and I was seated immediately. I ordered zucchini chips and Brussel sprouts for my appetizers - they were OUT of this world. For my entrees, I ordered an avocado toast and a crunchy rice bowl. The avocado toast was probably the worst I have had. The toppings were overwhelmingly bland and boring. The crunchy rice bowl had a unique texture that came with a hint of mint to top it off. Our waiter took care of us. The food was pretty cheap. All around, a 4 star trip. read more

Recently had a large function on the patio and it was an outstanding experience. The staff was exceptionally hospitable and our group felt well taken care of, especially by Niles and Trenton. The food is simple yet thoughtful and many remarked how much they enjoyed everything they tried. I saw someone mention flies on the patio- not really sure what can be done about that? It's already hot and well, flies like heat and food? Seriously, if there's a real solution to this, please get in my DM's. Thank you Hank's for taking care of our large group and making our evening extra special. Will be back real soon. read more

My fiancé and I really enjoyed our food. It was so delicious and we basically ate it all...no leftovers I love the atmosphere of the space and they have outdoor and indoor seating. They are able to accommodate a lot of people because of their abundance of seating. Hank's also have private rooms for private events. Service was great, received our drinks and food in a reasonable time. Would stop by again when we are in Austin! read more

A new neighborhood favorite and go to for an evenings meal. A porch that is to die for as long as you have either the sun screen or the heat lamps pending weather and time of year. Servers have always been great, food prep can be hit or miss for its presentation but everything is always yum. Favorites: Wood grilled artichoke Brussel Sprouts Kale Chips Chopped Black Kale Salad Pesto Rice Bowl with Salmon added Wood grilled salmon Burger! Hints: Burger Monday's are half off - go early as they sometimes run out although you can wait for the next batch to be prepped. Happy Hour everyday from 3-6:30!!! read more

Lovely designed restaurant! Food was very tasty and we had a nice lunch. Good company overrides deficiencies. Since pricing is same at the "cafe" and seated area, management could provide a beverage refill station in the cafe. Also, que pasa with the waitstaff hanging out at the cafe ordering spot? Had to wait for them to finish their conversation and acknowledge me and scoot over, so I could order. I'm a big girl...can't miss me. No acknowledgment, but they did move (attitude was implied). Expired bugs are collecting at the windowsills. read more

In true Texas form this restaurant is such a surprise. Maybe because it is the only business in what was once a strip mall but they've done an amazing job. I'm absolutely obsessed with this place. It's the middle of summer in Texas which is why I didn't have the opportunity to sit on the beautiful and large patio. We sat at the bar which is my MO these days but the bartender was amazing. She didn't give me the why are your sitting at the bar if you do not drink look. She was attentive, knowledgeable and one of the best parts of the experience. I was a little sad when I found out they didn't have smoked salmon but I loved the menu. They have something for you it you want to eat on the lighter side and something if you want a hearty Texas meal. The decor is what really drew me in but the service and the food will keep me coming back. read more

Hank's is a great spot for those looking for quality food and an aesthetically-pleasing environment. Ordered the Turkey & Gruyère sandwich with the arugula salad. The sandwich was good - the bread crust had a nice crunch to it and the ingredients complimented each other. The salad was crisp and there was enough dressing without being overwhelming. Hank's may seem higher priced, but in terms of the portion size and taste, I felt the meal matched the price. I was able to take half of the sandwich as leftovers. Service was great and friendly. We came during lunch on a Monday and was able to eat within a hour. There's plenty of parking spots since there's a good-sized lot. Hank's decor is very contemporary and more minimal, almost reminded me of a futuristic-modern place where everyone wears the same beige outfit (and I'm not meaning this in a negative way for the record). Definitely would come back to Hank's in the future! read more

We rarely come to Austin but had to and it was a nightmare so we decided to grab lunch. By the luck of the internet we ended up at Hanks on a busy Sunday afternoon. Even as busy as they were the service was impeccable, the food was amazing but the stand out thing was our server, Trenton! He made a awful day into an amazing day!!! He was on top of everything and was an absolute doll! I tried to adopt him before we left! If you want a great lunch (or mimosa) and the best service definitely come to Hanks! We will be back!!! read more

Sunday brunchin at Hank's was good but I wouldn't run to go back. The atmosphere and drinks were fab but the food fell short. The eggs on the eggs Benedict and Shakshuka were overdone, and my sourdough toast was borderline stale. Don't skip out on the dessert though! Or drinks If you're going non-alcoholic, I loved the iced matcha with almond milk. If you're feeling boozy, I took a sip of the old fashioned and it was one of the best I've ever had! read more

My friends have been telling me about Hanks for the longest so after attending a wine tutorial at my adult beverage shoppe of choice, we headed on over to Hank's for a nightcap(s) and also to catch up. Wow, I didn't know what I was missing, this venue had a vibrant and lively atmosphere! As it was National Bourbon Day, I found it quite fitting and refreshing to have the Bourbon Basil Lemonade. The ol' belly was sending signals that it was feeling neglected and blotting paper was being beckoned so I ordered the Jalapeño Cheese Sausage and grilled sourdough toast which paired well with the lemonade with authority. This was only a tease so I will definitely be back as I eyeballed some Happy Hour delectable delights that I'm dying to try. read more

Neighborhood gem! Love Brinch on the dog friendly patio. Great drinks. great service, & great ambiance.

Loved my experience at Hank's today! This place definitely sets a great atmosphere - trendy and cozy. We came during happy hour and it was half off apps and frozen drinks! The ricotta w baguette was really good! Fries were cheap and it was good! Main entrees - the portions were standard, not too small, it'll fill you up. My fried chicken sandwich was good! Get the Brussels sprouts instead of fries. Service - my server was super nice! Gave us free chantilly cake dessert for the "slow" service, but we were busy talking we didn't feel like it was slow at all. Would love to come back and take friends here for happy hour. read more

Nice ambiance. Outdoor seating available. Service was decent. The majority of the food was not good. The brussel sprouts were ok, not seasoned. It doesn't have a very extensive menu. May go back for happy hour because the drinks were good. read more

Perhaps I helped to manifest Hank's, because I'm sure that I've spent hours daydreaming about a beautiful neighborhood restaurant with a full bar, daily breakfast, daily happy hour with discounted cocktails and small plates, with a team of really awesome employees. So far I feel I've said enough to entice you to "bookmark" this "Hot and New" restaurant, but there's more! The details at Hank's will make your experience highly enjoyable, from the Oldies playing at a comfortable volume, to the classy Hank's post card you will receive with your check. Although I was excited by the beauty of restaurant itself immediately, Hank really had me when I saw those perfect little matchbooks at the host stand. So far I've tried and enjoyed every single appetizer on the menu, the salmon, the avocado toast, the coffee, the spicy margarita, the frozen paloma, and the frosé. I haven't tried a single menu item that I haven't liked a lot, and many of them I LOVE, like the charred vegetables, and the baked ricotta on the small plates menu. I can't quit it with Hank's, and I can't keep quiet about it any longer. It checks off all of the boxes. read more

Second time in for HH/Dinner and overall both trips didn't disappoint. Service: Everyone there is great! From the host/hostess making us feel welcome even when busy to the wait staff who do a great job of backing each other up, service is top notch. Drinks: HH prices are the way to go for their on tap cocktails and frozen drinks. Food: Cauliflower hummus, ricotta cheese, smoked artichoke appetizers are delish! Power bowl with poached egg is one of my favorite and friends fans of the burgers (Monday HH deal is the way to go). Prices: I get Austin is expensive but feel like they are a bit pricey. Can't complain about quality so we keep going back. Inside or nice covered outside patio as well as inside and outside bar make covid concerns very manageable. Also have a drive thru window for coffee and food. read more

So my wife and I made a return trip Sunday, May 20th at 3PM. We were in the door shortly after the main restaurant opened. Unfortunately, on this visit, we experienced several of the issues we saw on our first visit. Service was quite slow at the bar-top. Again, there were two bartenders and with a restaurant of this size, one was stuck in the drink well our entire visit. It seemed like they were both immediately in the weeds with the large influx of drink orders and patrons. The beer selection is still really well rounded and priced right. We decided to try the baked ricotta again and it was much improved (hence the addition of a star). The portion of bread was proportional to the ricotta, which was well seasoned this time. Unfortunately, those were the highlights. We still had a tough time putting in an order at the bar (on a previous visit they had 3-4 folks working the bar, this time there were only 2). The burger which I have ordered before in the cafe came out well done despite being ordered medium. This burger, when executed well was one of the best I've had in town. The fries were better, but were not as good as the ones I had with my burger in the cafe section. The biggest disappointment was my wife's brie baguette. It was very haphazardly constructed. The bread was delicious and the prosciutto was high quality, though it was all in a bundle in the back of the sandwich. However, the brie was cold and in huge chunks. Each bite was either all cheese or all meat. We were underwhelmed by the quality and treatment of the brie. Having been to the cafe on three occasions between my two visits to the main restaurant, it seems as though the kitchen, when serving the smaller number of people when just the cafe is open, executes their menu much more cleanly. Their coffee and pastries are really top notch. Service is always friendly. I really hope the main restaurant hits its stride. We will keep trying them because we really want them to succeed. read more

Real time review. Prevention drips from the walls here. Drinks are not well poured. I got the Crispy Rice bowl that had almost no rice, which may not be a bad thing since the rice had no flavor. I'd say it was 60% field greens and cost $10. The dressing was so over powering that I still taste it after two glasses of water. Thankfully this place won't be open for more than three months, as it seems most of the hipster spots in this town will be. If you want a native experience, avoid. If you want good food, avoid. Only thing I'd recommend this place for is closing. Go to Whataburger down the road if you want a good meal cause lord knows I will. read more
