This is probably my first time I've ever left a review about a dealership cafe. You take your car into Ford, they'll typically give you a coupon for a free entree, some items there's a cost, and others like the breakfast burrito, it's complimentary. In all honesty, this is one of my favorite breakfast burritos of all time. The staff is well aware you're probably in a hurry so they get your meal out quick. Theres not much to say about ambiance, it's in a dealership. The rest of the menu is decent at best, unfortunately, so that's my only reason I dock it a star. But I'll keep coming for that "free" breakfast burrito! read more

While I was having my car serviced here at South Bay Ford, I grabbed a sandwich and coffee from Hank's Cafe, conveniently stationed inside the Ford dealership. Every time I eat here, it is always neat and clean. Karla served me a BLT with eggs and it was scrumptious. The coffee was just right. All I could do was smile because Karla did her part. If you have to start off your week getting your car fixed, go to Hanks and see Karla. She'll make your Monday a fun day. read more

Had the pleasure of stopping by on Friday. This café inside the Ford dealership is such a gem! Super convenient whether you're shopping for a car or just stopping by for a quick bite. The staff is always welcoming--Karla is especially friendly and makes you feel right at home. Management is great too, consistently kind and attentive. The chicken burrito is a must-try--flavorful, filling, and surprisingly delicious. A perfect spot to grab coffee or lunch while you wait or browse! read more

Only reason I do 4 stars instead of 5 is because I personally prefer a restaurant setting, but as far as convenience goes if you are in the area, this spot is pretty cool. read more

I recently discovered Hanks Cafe, located right inside Southbay Ford , and it's a hidden gem! The food is absolutely fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty meal or just a quick snack, their menu offers something for everyone. The service is equally impressive; the staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. What makes this cafe even more special is its location. It's incredibly convenient to enjoy a delicious meal while waiting for your car to be serviced or even as you browse for a new vehicle. Instead of wasting time in a waiting area, you can relax with great food and a comfortable atmosphere. Hanks Cafe has turned what could be a mundane trip to the dealership into a genuinely enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Southbay Ford, or even close by --whether you're there for car shopping, service, or just passing by. It's a must-try! read more

The food is absolutely delicious, and the service is consistently top-notch. Every detail is clearly taken into account--from the quality of the food to the cleanliness and comfort of the space. A special shoutout to John, who is always kind, welcoming, and goes above and beyond to make sure every customer feels cared for. What truly stood out to me was the way he interacts with his staff--with genuine respect and warmth. It didn't feel like a typical employer-employee dynamic, but rather like a team working together with mutual appreciation. That kind of positive environment shows in the overall experience. Highly recommend stopping by, whether you're waiting on your vehicle or just in the area. It's a refreshing and unique addition to the dealership! read more

What an amazing concept! The manager John was so friendly and engaging, my 3 hour wait period for an auto repair felt like 30 min. The food served at this cafe Bistro, located inside Southbay Ford was just as amazing as the service. The breakfast burrito was so good I could have finished 2. Since my wait had gone into lunchtime I had the opportunity to also try and enjoy the lunch offerings. I was blown away by the chicken club sandwich topped with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and bacon with a touch of mayo on a toasted club roll, WOW! Delish... Thank you John and the rest of the staff at this wonderful eatery for making my visit worth the wait! read more

Hanks Cafe is definitely a great place to grab food on the go or sit in! The service that Ivan provide is exceptional, and is made to order that taste great all the time! All the food is great, but my preference is the cheeseburger with homemade fries! Ivan works hard at not only proving great food but keeping the cafe organized and clean as well! I eat there every time I'm in the area... was just there Friday the 15th of June before going out of town. Way to go Ivan My name is Dernise Andrews; I give Hanks Cafe and Ivan's customer service a 10 out of 10! read more

Inside of South-bay Ford/Lincoln dealership. This place saves lives. If your bringing your car in for service or looking for parts this is the place to eat!! The Chicken Club sandwich is amazingly good!! Let's not forget the crispy bacon that comes on it. If your looking for something else tasty, the bacon cheeseburger with fries is sooooooo yummy!! 5 Stars for Hanks Bistro!! read more

The food is ok and free if you get your car serviced. However, I am watching the cook cook food without gloves and their Letter Grade of and A is expired. When I asked him about it he was like I don't know anything about it. It just seems dirty and the next time I come there to get my car service I will be sure to only get something to drink read more

To find this quality of food inside a Ford dealership is astonishing! I have been bringing my car here for service ever since I got it and I have never had anything I would not order again. They have the best French fries I have ever had anywhere and everything is served quickly and with a smile. read more

My guest and I played it safe and went with bacon and eggs ordered with different levels of variation. We both agreed that the food was solid, and pretty much on point especially if you like your bacon and eggs and the added sides traditional. Our server was an obvious OG who has worked here for a long time and probably seen it all over the years. In other words, he's been there and done that. I have a special place in my heart for establishments and their long-time servers, so I'm not going to be too critical here-but the old lad did rush things initially. His service and overall demeanor picked up with time and over the course of the meal, so again nothing too bad. And whilel he certainly didn't provide CSA level service, he wasn't rude or either. In short, will be back.

MEAT LOVER'S DREAM. This is the place if you're a fan of garlicky, salty, Italian preserved meats…read more That's the first thing you smell when you walk in. My usual is the "I Ask for It" which has spicy turkey, pepperoni, and spicy andouille--everything to satisfy my inner spice demon. The store also has several non-spicy options, if that's also your speed. I like how they use Kaiser rolls for their bread--it's a fluffy, pillowy bread without a strong taste. So it stays out of the way, and allows the meats to shine!

If you like junk food, this may be your place. I ordered a small sandwich for $9, and I was very…read moredisappointed. It came on basic white bread with a little lettuce, tomato, and a small amount of meat. The portion wasn't really my issue , the bread was. It was awful. For a sandwich shop, I expected a much better-quality bread option, especially something whole grain or healthier. If you're trying to eat healthy, this is definitely not the place I would recommend. I ended up opening the sandwich, eating what was inside, and throwing the bread away. Not worth $9 in my opinion.
