You think "what makes it different than other burgers" I cannot answer that. Our waitress couldn't answer that but we all agreed that these burgers are something else in the best way possible. You HAVE to try the burgers. It's cooked perfectly, so incredibly juice, toppings are flavored so so well. Sauces are fire. I cannot think of one bad thing about this except that I didn't order a second one.

NIU is my Alma-Matter so my husband and 2 kids find it a fun and nostalgic weekend. Tony [husband] looked up and found Hink's for the first time on google reviews. He said not one bad review, he's kind of a rainman-savant when it comes to finding good places out of nowhere to eat at. It's a rather small place but I'm glad I played along b/c this place blows away the other larger Sycamore eating places we used-to go to. Now we have put this place on our regular-rotation of places to eat, its our new favorite place to eat and have come by just about every friday or saturday night since Corn Fest. Pizza is fab and Bloody Mary's are about the best you can find [from scratch NO mix!] The two guys on shift work like crazy and handle the whole place, really just two guys! WOW.

I really enjoyed the pizza and wings. My wife loves the catfish which is the best I've ever had. My daughter loved the pretzel sticks.

I don't believe my order was complex but, I like my pizza the way I like it. I'm particular about it... I like extra sauce, easy cheese & well done. We ordered a 12" pick 5 While it had the toppings requested, I ALWAYS ask for extra sauce & it barely had any at all. Like literally NONE. Almost as if I said easy or no sauce- which my receipt shows I did not. It was extremely dry & flavorless as I also always request slightly well done. One piece for us both (in fact it was 2 bites for me) removed the toppings to see a couple specs of red & in the trash it went. Not sure what's going on in the unit at the end of the strip, but it was a madhouse & made parking a bit of a challenge... I probably would've opted for delivery had I known that. However!!! I WILL say the checkout/pick up process once made it in, was smooth, fast & the staff was friendly. You'll see by my reviews, I'm NOT a repeat constant bad reviewer. I personally always check out reviews before trying somewhere & when I see negative ones... I'll click on that person & when I see NOTHING but bad reviews- I take those reviews with a grain of salt because the person obviously is never happy & has nothing good to say about anything... I give praise when it's deserved but I also have to give a thumbs down also once in a while when it's deserved as well. Better luck next time I hope....‍
