The ambiance inside is nice. The dining room to the left of the entrance contains many booths and looks to be updated in the recent past. Very nice. To the right of the entrance is a bar with high-top seating and an older dining room w/tables, Windsor style chairs and carpeted floors beyond the bar. A selection of country music played softly in the background. This is most definitely a 'local' spot. There were plenty of customers who know each other. They are very comfortable with the staff and each other. Pro top: If you are easily offended by 'salty' language, I recommend you sit in the dining room to the left of the entrance - furthest away from the bar. A hostess seated us with menu's, took our drink order, delivered it, then let us know our server would be with us soon. I watched the bartender making my drink and I'm not sure she actually knew what she was doing and the drink tasted that way so maybe it was something they don't normally prepare. Pro tip #2: The on-tap beer price is good. When our server arrived they were very no-nonsense (curt? brief? concise?). We both ordered entrees and chose mashed potatoes as a side. We were asked if we wanted gravy which was confusing because one of the entrees was fish and I couldn't imagine gravy on fish. It was for the mashed potatoes of course. Duh. So pro tip number 3: no matter what the protein, gravy is available for your mash. Although our soup and salad were immediately delivered to the table, we waited quite a while for our entrée to appear. After about twenty minutes or so (? could be less, could be more, not watching the clock, but we had an idea of when we arrived) I noticed our server walking by the table noticed no food. They went back into the kitchen and returned immediately with our meals. They were luke-warm and the fish had a 'hard' top. Not sure if it was under a heat lamp, but definitely had been sitting somewhere for a bit before arriving at our table. Knowing I'm not in the kitchen or do the ordering, here's a few things we noticed about our meal. The side salad was fresh and cold with a couple of green pepper strips, onion, cucumber and dressing served in a plastic container on the side. Nice option. The soup of the day was very much like a condensed version you can buy at the market. The pot roast does not appear to be the type of roast you purchase at the meat counter and throw in the over (or crock pot). It was more like a loaf of meat-pressed together bits. The texture was wrong. The spice on the Cajun salmon had a good level of spice. Mashed potatoes had large chunks of potato and little seasoning. The gravy looks like it comes from a jar. Based on taste and texture, I wouldn't be surprised if the pie came from a box. The drink prices are good, and most of the regulars were sitting at the bar, not eating. There was one large party that was eating so much food! Fish and chips, pasta, soup and way more. So clearly they have their fans. This is a case of know thyself.

Easily the worst meal our party of 5 has had in recent memory. 2 of us had the fish and chips and the fish had a very odd unpleasant flavor while the tarter sauce was definitely spoiled . The green beans that came with the lamb dinner were grey and looked and tasted as if they had been on the steam table since yesterday. The mashed potatoes although made from real potatoes were room temperature and cold when the meals arrived at the table. The worst dish we had was the Penne Saute... very overcooked flavorless pasta mixed with what appeared to be a green salad that has been warmed to wilting. It included chunks of broccoli that were vivid yellow because they were clearly already spoiled and well past their serve by day when they were included in the dish. When broccoli is no longer green and has turned yellow it should be thrown out not salvaged to serve to customers. We have been coming to this restaurant for several years and noticed that the parking lot was unusually empty when we arrived today. Now we know why. I attached pictures to their google page of the food we were served to show the sort of quality they are comfortable providing and help others not waste their time or money at this place. I did eat a few bites of the fish before I decided that yes, it was definitely slightly off and that I should not continue eating it . Those few bites may have been enough to make me sick because I am really not feeling well now. If I get food poisoning I will not be surprised. No one at our table was able to actually able to eat the meal they ordered. Across the board they get a D- for no quality control and for salvaging produce and fish that should have been thrown out and not served.. absolutely DISGUSTING meal .. (but is it a meal if you don't actually eat it?) Update; it's 2 am and after a few hours of stomach cramps I have started vomiting. I will be contacting my Dr in the morning to verify food poisoning and pursuing this with the health department.

Stopped just to try something new. Well, that was a mistake. Seated promptly and received drinks, as ordered. Which was as it should have been as there were only about 3 other tables with guests at them. After we got our drinks, things went downhill. For starters, we only received 2 sets of silverware for 5 people (one of which included a dirty fork). Given what we ordered, that worked out fine, but that wasn't the point. And we'd have asked the server for more, but she was rarely seen. Ordered 5 meals and an appetizer. 20 minutes later, the 7 chicken wings showed up. They were well cooked and very crispy...however the buffalo flavor was very mild. But that's a preference thing so I understand that. Also, one of little plates for the appetizer was dirty when we received it. Another 15 minutes until our meals showed up. The Reuben sandwich had very little other than corned beef and cheese to flavor it. The 2 kids meals were fine. A grilled chicken sandwich didn't come with the avocado listed on the menu. And the fisherman's platter, while well cooked, was very bland and lacking in portion size for almost $30. The highlight of all 5 meals were the french fries. Very well cooked and very crispy. The second best thing that we had were the ice cream cups that came with the kids meals. Not rushing back or recommending.

We were out of town and needed a late lunch. Found Hank's only 4 miles from our location on route home, conveniently located on Route 6. This is popular for the locals, and we were not disappointed. Service from start to finish was amazing with loving hospitality! The food was hot and full of flavor ! Strongly recommended and moments from Route 395 if you're passing by! You can't miss out stopping in here!

We were really hungry and stopped here after another bike ride on the Airline Trail. I was a bit put off by the tables that hadn't been cleared when we walked in which I find unappetizing however, they were finally cleared after about 10 minutes. My baked stuffed shrimp was good although it's not a dish that's difficult to make and pretty much unscrewupable. DH had the artery clogging dish of steak with bacon and gorgonzola that he said was good. Hank's satisfied the hunger but doubt we'd return.

We had dinner at Hanks last evening and it was absolutely phenomenal. I ordered the king cut extra rare prime rib and it is by far the best piece of prime rib I've ever had in my life. The staff is amazing and friendly everyone in the building is committed to customer service and producing a wonderful experience in fine dining. From the fresh and crisp salad with oil and balsamic vinegar to the main course and dessert of butterscotch pudding with whip cream, every bite was absolutely wonderful! Even the bartender came out to make sure that I was happy with my cocktail choice. I ordered the most expensive thing on the menu and the bill was still under $70. If you don't try Hanks, you will miss out. And if you become a regular dinner at Hanks will be something you look forward to. Tell them Bill sent you!

First time here. Decent food. Chowder was decent. I ordered the Chix Parm Dinner (huge plate of food) Chicken was crispy. My lovely lady friend ordered the fish and chip special that came with chowder and clam fritters. The food was decent.
