Definitely a Go-To spot, good food for good prices, family owned, supports local events of all kinds. We walked in and immediately was greeted by loving staff who were patient and willing to work with us, even offering us a slice of freshly cooked German chocolate cake. Our food took only 5 minutes to get brought to us in a backyard manner, almost like we're at a family barbecue, will be coming back soon read more

Hank's Drive In - a basket of french fries - Burgers Near Me - Radford, Virginia

Great people and awesome service. Food was outstanding. Burgers fries and onion rings are the reason we will go back from Vinton, Va.

The burgers are very good, the fried pickles are the best I've had and the fries are good but not the best. The staff is very friendly, I do wish they had fountain drinks. If I'm not taking it home I usually go there first then swing by a local fast food place for a $1 fountain drink instead of paying $1 for a can. read more

Great burgers, fries and hot dogs (w or wo coleslaw and/or chili). Chili and coleslaw are homemade. That's all we have tried so far. The Big burger combo for $7 is fabulously good (lettuce, tomato, cheese plus condiments included). The burger is HUGE. Hand made on the spot. Freshest bun I have ever had. Crinkle cut hot fries made to order. Pepsi or Coke canned products included in price. Inside seats 12 people. Curb-service also available as well as a few picnic tables. Service is so friendly and fast. Got to chat with the owner who took the restaurant over from her uncle Hank. She was warm and welcoming; made us feel like a long-lost friend. She is very humble person who is honored to keep going the business her uncle Hank started. This is the type of business I want to support with my business. We live in Roanoke but will make it a point to visit....it's that worth it. read more

Went to hanks expecting just a regular ole burger, and my expectations were very off. I was skeptical at first because of the low prices. But I was taken back by how good the burger turned out to be. Good food, friendly staff and great prices. Would recommend for anyone looking for a good burger. read more

I ordered the chicken tender platter and it was really good! It came with fries, coleslaw, and a roll. Great prices and a friendly staff.

Newly remodeled and looking great! The best burgers in town... very true. The meat is lean and more tender than any around. They also have crinkle-cut fries and onion rings. Delicious food, great prices, and hometown hospitality... Who could ask for more? read more

Hank's Drive In - Hank in front of the newly remodeled Hank's Drive-in. - Burgers Near Me - Radford, Virginia

You have to remember a few things about Hank's before you read this review: 1. This is a "hole in the wall" so don't expect the Ritz Carlton (through no fault of his own; the Landlord has not been willing to fix leaks in the roof, etc.). But some of the best food joints are holes in the wall... 2. Hank has been in business since 1972. Read that again: 1972!!! Burger King: gone! KFC: done! 6 restaurants that tried to open up in old Golden Corral space: history! He has lasted this long for a reason... I grew up in Radford, but honestly never started going to Hank's until I was in my 20's. My loss. Hank's does simple Diner/Fast food simply... and GOOD! My favorite is Hank's Hotdog. He makes his own chili and even offers the traditional Southern sweet slaw as a topping. Can't go wrong with tots or fries (I prefer the tots). His hamburgers are also made fresh from fresh ground beef. If you travel the old Lee Highway and are in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and stop by Hank's instead of one of the Chain joints (no complaints on the Chain joints, I just prefer to eat "local" when possible). Hank could use the business, as he is near retirement age, and he is extremely friendly! read more

Great burgers and all the fixings. Don't miss out on their homegrilled taste and quality. Great people and great food at a great price. It comes quickly and fills you up. Skip the fast food across the street and enjoy some real, tasty burgers! read more

Hank's is a staple of Radford. Burgers are fantastic and the fries, although frozen, are cooked very well and were delicious. Mark and Hank make a great team. Really brings me back to my days of going to the Tastee Freeze in my hometown. Their may be better places around, but everybody needs to go to Hank's atleast once while they are in Radford. read more

One of the best burgers i have ever had and i will be back for sure and the survice was also good

Love Hank's. Love the people & service is excellent. Food is great, too. So glad to see you guys keeping it going!!

Hank's Drive-In was remodeled a couple of years ago. It still looks like an unlikely place to find a great burger, but the interior and exterior are bright and freshly painted. The burgers are hand-pattied and cooked to order. The French fries are always fresh and crisp, and the toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles) are delicious. It's a great bargain also. You can get the Big Burger combo with fries and a drink for $7. The double Big Burger is HUGE! The place is spotless, the service is quick, thoughtful, and the folks who work there are obviously happy to be there. Yesterday everyone who worked there was singing with the radio inside! You can also get cheerful curbside service. We love this place and have to have our fix at least once a week! read more

What an incredible little find in Radford! Building had been closed for some time, but recently reopened and looks very inviting. Curbside, drive thru or eat in available. Everything appears made fresh. Had the Big Burger Combo-was perfectly done w/fresh fries and a Coke. I thought it was a great value. Super-friendly staff and everyone eating there appeared to love it as much as I did. Definitely a little spot worth coveting. read more

I love this place. It truely is a hole in the wall. Limited seating, inside and out but the best hamburgers for miles and miles. Not frozen patties, fresh ground beef, a real burger!! If you are lucky enough to eat here, you will definately eat here again(and again). read more

I LOVE their food!! The lady who owns Hank's is very nice. I hope they reopen soon!!!!!!!

Very old drive in. The owner has got to be in his 80's and is very hard of hearing. I've always love unique family owned businesses and this place is it. There was a sign saying the best burger in town and I always wanted to try it. I went to the LJS across the street but the line was out the door. The guy in front of me seemed nice old and chatty so I asked if Hanks did have the best burgers in town. This old timer told me" oh dey good. Real good" So Off I went to try them out. At 20min after noon no one was there. I went inside and the there was hank in his 80's. The roof was leaking in 3 spots but he had some tubs under them. I told him I wanted a big burger with fries and a pepsi. I had to tell him 3x because he is so hard of hearing. I ordered and sat inside and read the paper. He got a phone order for 6 hot dogs then a lady poked her head in and ordered 2 dogs. This guy was slammed. 3 different orders. My burger came up 1st and was a great juicy burger. I give it B. If he would have toasted the bun it would have been the best burger in VA. I watched as he made the other 2 orders and I noticed he made some hamburger patties to order. He put together the other 2 orders but had a piece of raw hamburger stuck to the top of his hand the whole time. I never saw him wash his hands. I prayed I would not get sick. Im writing this the day after and I do have a cold that came down this morning but I do not blame Hank. My kid and mother in law have had a cold for a few days. I give the sanitary a D+ but the burger was actually really good. It truly is the best burger in Fairlawn VA. read more

First off, Hanks is not closed forever. They are doing a complete renovate do will be open again. Secondly, love Hanks food!!! Best cheeseburger in the NRV!!!! read more

This place is the best! Make sure you get the big burger. The fries are fantastic! The apple turnover was homemade and delicious!

Ok, but not great. The burgers were a little dry and the fries were nothing special. The curb service is interesting, but, by itself is not worth any extra effort. It was not bad, just not significantly better than any of the nearby fast food places. read more

There's nothing like a fresh cooked cheeseburger. Searched Yelp for the best recommendation in the area since I'm fairly new here. It was amazing! Cooked perfectly and just like my favorite local place back home, and the tater tots were so crispy! will definitely be back often! read more

Food was great, employees are nice! Great place to stop! No complaints from me! Hot dogs were awesome!

Gotta check out hanks. Great burgers for a great price made by a WWII veteran whose dream it was to open a burger joint. It is rather run down but it's not an art museum, it's a Radford burger joint with killer fries! No cursing! read more

Can't comment about the food. Drove up. Server took order, waited 20 minutes still no food. More people drove up, gave their order, got their food. Still waiting for ours. We finally left. read more

Was really excited to try this hole in the wall in Radford but was overall disappointed. It was dirty, the woman making the food wasn't wearing gloves, dropped things on the floor, picked them up, and continued making our food. One of the burgers was still bloody when I bit into it. I should have just left when I saw the place. You are better off going to Cookout right down the road. read more

Hank's is delicious! It is literally a shack on the side of the road with someone taking orders and someone cooking up good old local, mom and pop, hole in the wall perfection. The burgers are cooked perfectly, not too greasy. Toppings are fresh. Options are simple. Prices are LOW! Great deal, great atmosphere, great food. read more
