We're here in Columbus celebrating my wife's birthday so I picked Hank's bar and Grill to get a burger for my wife because that's her favorite food she picked a double patty black and blue burger and it was enormous. She really loved it! If you're a Burger lover, this is a must try. I was pleased to see they had oysters on the half shelf. I had a half dozen and they were extremely large, which is nice and I had their fried shrimp which came out perfectly well done. The pricing was reasonable, and the help was very friendly and attentive. it was a very lively sports bar. read more

My husband and I try to support small, locally owned businesses, and we try to return frequently. Unfortunately, Hank's will not be on that list. We were seated immediately by the hostess, but she seemed annoyed that she was even there. Our server started off so strong, but by the end, she was lackluster. I will say, she was friendly and I want to give her kudos for that. She may have been over-sat quickly because when we arrived, there were plenty of tables. By the time we left, there were none. So I have to give her grace, too. Now to the food. It was ok. $16 for 6 small crab bites was a bit pricey, especially considering they were a little larger than the size of a large gumball. They had good flavor, and the dip was great, but the price still didn't justify the portion size. My husband ordered the grilled chicken with Brussels sprouts and a side salad. The side salad was a decent size, which is a good thing because the grilled chicken was a butterfly filet about the size of my hand. (I'm only 5'4"... I have tiny hands!) The Brussels sprouts were fried and glazed with maple (I think? There was something sweet on them...). My husband is 6'3" & has an appetite. This barely filled the bill. It was $20 for his meal. Again, good flavor, but not worth $20. I ordered fish and chips for my meal. The filet was much larger than my husband's chicken, but it was definitely frozen and not "fresh". It lacked any kind of seasoning or flavor & came with a handful of fries. It was slightly more reasonable at $16, but I've seen much fresh, flavorful, heartier portions served for that price or better. Overall, good location, decent staff, overpriced food. It's a "will not return" for us. read more

I was very disappointed! My friends and I ate there several months ago, we all ordered wings and fries. The manager said they pre-cook the wings three plus days ahead before each order. Once the order is received they recook the wings and add a sauce flavor. My friend complain about her wings smelling like rotten eggs. read more

Omg!!! As soon as you walk into this place a pungent smell hits you. It smelled like old mop water or as if the place had been flooded before. I still can't believe I stayed and dined here but I know it's because my friend's mentioned how great the food was. Despite the smell, our service was top notch and the shrimp & grits were quite tasty. read more

Hank's Bar & Grill - Sports Bars Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

This place is somewhere between a dive bar and a sports bar. Good sports bar style appetizers. I wouldn't recommend getting the oysters raw - not very meaty or briney, lacking flavor for sure. The sweet Thai chili wings were good. The Cajun fries are definitely a must try. Our server was great. They went by Charlie and were super attentive and even made recommendations to help guide us when we had doubts read more

This was our first time at Hanks and we stopped in with our kids on a Friday afternoon for lunch. The burgers were very good, I had the black and blue with the brussel sprouts. We also ordered the wings and my daughter really liked them. read more

If you like frozen pre patted burgers this is your place to go. The pictures and reviews that are months old of these burgers may have been what they used to be. I was highly disappointed in the frozen patties, the pictures and reviews are so misleading. I normally do not do things like this, but wanted to share my experience so no one else thinks they are going in for a home made burger and this crap comes out. read more

This bar has TVs everywhere for sports. Their smash burgers are really, really good. Best burger I've had in a while. Our server was Ari and she was very attentive! read more

Service was ok for a Friday night. Need more help behind the bar where I sat at. I love Oysters on the half shell but will never get them again there. They were tiny oysters and for $12.50 a half dozen I felt like I was ripped off on the size. Wings were ok but definitely don't recommend the oysters. read more

We stopped in on a Tuesday, well past prime lunch hours. The decor is trendy, with a digital jukebox and golf game, to a panoramic wall mural of the Braves. Clean, Plenty of tvs and a welcoming staff. Joshua was our waiter and he was upbeat, informative, and warm. He gave great recommendations, and was polite and seriously great at his job. We had the burgers, fries and Mozzarella bites. Everything was delicious, and we particularly loved the fries! A great place to hang out, with great food, and great ambiance . Be sure to request Joshua. He's the perfect host and waiter! Great job! A+ read more

Came here late one night for random dinner cause we could've decided ordered raw oysters, oyster Rockefeller, occasion, oysters, and garlic Parm oysters raw oysters were hit. They just needed the vinegar mini that's normally served with raw oysters. They really really needed that to set them over the top the garlic palm oysters were good just really salty that was due to the Parmesan cheese. The Cajun oysters were OK Very different topping set up had a different kind of experience the oysters Rockefeller just tasted how they were supposed to for their version, however, not really for us the shrimp and grits. You could tell where the last part of the day the grits really kinda lumpy and held together and not the greatest of texture. The topping mix was good just needed more of like sauce with it to cover the grits. I'm not a fish and chip eater, but this was the best fish and chips. I've had the biggest downside is the restaurant that used to be there serve their fish and chips with two fillets and now the new restaurant only serves one fillet and it was the same price so definitely needs to be two fillets for that price. However, again the flavor was there our bartender that night. She was very nice very energetic very talkative. The old-fashioned was amazing however just very small normally when I get old-fashioned, they filled to the brim. The Long Island iced tea version was also very good. Just had a lot of ice in. It could've done with half the ice and water the drink for the price. read more

Food and service were above par. Wings were above average. Oysters were also good. Very attentive service.

I feel terrible to rate these guys so low. I feel so bad for the owner and the chef who inspired these recipes. THE FOOD IS SOOOO GOOD I MEAN DELICIOUS SOME OF THE MOST DELICIOUS FOOD AROUND. However, I have been three times and each time the service was atrocious. I've had three servers and all were the worst. I've never seen anyone get a single refill. Servers always take waaaay to long to get to the table even for the initial drink. Food takes 45-75 minutes to get to the table and always comes out with the appetizer. Plates are very hot indicating they've been under the lamp for a long time. One person in my party of three, after waiting for over an hour... got the wrong burger. No sorry, nothing. I cannot overstate how good the food is. It is such a shame the service is 10/10 the worst ever. read more

I hate to give them even a 1 star. The bartender said they have big LA oysters so I got a half dozen. Combined all 6 weren't as much as 1 LA oyster. The bartender "don't know what happened, they usually big though. It should be against the law to charge $14 for oysters that small. Needless to I'll go elsewhere for the main meal. MY ADVICE RUN AWAY FROM THIS DUMP!! read more

Food was great. Took a little while to receive food but overall not too bad! Nice atmosphere.

Allow customers to order wings by flats or drums only. We visited today the bartender was very nice but told us her manager wouldn't allow us to order that way. I simply said then we will go elsewhere. She then asked and guess what the manager said no. Who ever owns this better replace the manager. We would have paid extra. Never visit this place. No wonder they have a 2.7 rating. read more

Food was great but took 45 mins for some and over an hour for the others. The server forgot to put it in when her handheld quit working. Worst service I have had anywhere in over a decade read more

The food was excellent an they were fast my server ms Jo was very polite an energetic definitely will be back

"If I could give a 0, I would. I ordered a burger from the menu with just cheese and fried onions, but when it arrived, there was nothing on it. I asked the waitress about it, and her response was to list what was supposed to be on the burger, as if I didn't know. Ma'am, it's your job to know what comes on your burgers. On top of that, she had a rude attitude! I won't be coming back." read more

This is a new spot downtown Columbus, the food is in very large portions so come to eat, and I had the Cajun pasta alfredo it was so saucy and delicious.

This place is trash. I've eaten here three times and each time the food was horrible. The staff is rude and they all act like they hate being there. I've also just found out recently that half the time the managers come into work drunk. Just.......DON'T BOTHER. read more
