    Bone in wings in garlic butter
    Eloise L.

    We were next door getting car worked on. Both haven't eaten yet n it's a very cold wet day. Walked over to see what they had to offer. They have daily lunch specials such as a bowl of hot n fresh gumbo!! Ordered a bowl for each of us n some wings. This truly hit the spot for this type of day. Gumbo was full of flavor as well as shrimp n crab meat. Wings were great tho small (like Cornish hen size). But still flavorful as well. This was the only reason for the 4 stars. Reasonably priced too! Servers were polite n friendly. Nice seating with tvs in view. When wanting gumbo (besides cooking it ourselves) we will definitely come back again!

    Juicy delicious Wings w/Crispy fries

    First timers. My family loved this lil spot! All the food was so delicious! My picky son said 10/10 wings & fries. Crawfish had great flavor. We got spicy. Definitely goin back to explore more of the menu! For sure a ton on our next visit list!!

    All the juice included in the weight of my 4 pound order.

    Pay attention to what you're paying for. I went here today and purchased 4 pounds of boiled crawfish. I ordered it to dine in. When I got my order I noticed the bag was half filled with boil juice. When I poured the juice out it seemed like I had waaaay less than 3 pounds. I went to the counter and asked the young later if the juice was weighed with the crawfish to equal 4 pounds. She said they add the juice in after the crawfish is wet. I spend a lot of money on crawfish each year. I know what 4 pounds look and feel like. You be the judge.

    Large Fried Rice and the Shirmp Box
    Robert M.

    Best Fried Rice my Wife and I have ever had. When we travel to Houston going to Hanks is a must. Everything from the wait staff to the food is superb. The Eggrolls as an appetizer is also a good choice as they are more like mini eggrolls but great as an appetizer. Definitely has a hole in the wall feel, but everything is top notch so give Hanks a try and I promise you will not be disappointed.

    Really good food!! We got 5 lbs of crawfish and the combo number 5 that came with shrimp and snow crab. The prices are a little high but with the start of crawfish season it is expected. Amazing customer service from all of the employees. Several people were coming by and asking if we needed anything else and refilling our drinks. Great establishment and very clean environment. We got extra spicy and it definitely lived up to its name (nose running still). I definitely recommend trying this place if you want some good seafood! We will be back soon.

    FRESH OYSTERS....DELICIOUS

    Well HERE WE GOOOOO.. ALL THE FOOD WAS GOOD EXCEPT THE over cooked charbroiled oysters..we had a lil bit of everything to test the waters... the crew fish were small but very tasty.the gumbo was great and the fish FABULOUS..

    Normal sized crab legs at Katy location on the same day.
    Cynthia B.

    Ok......sooooo, I can't remember a time where I've been so upset about a meal experience, that I relished and replayed the nightmare over in my head, over, and over again. So yesterday, on 11/12/20 I was up north for a photo shoot. I wanted to take my employee to a congratulatory meal for a successful shoot, and I asked her what she wanted. She said crab legs, and immediately we searched Yelp. Hank's in Katy is one of my favorite for delicious crawfish and crab legs, so I assumed Hank's up north would be the same. Uummmm, yeah...that wasn't the case. So when we come in, it seriously looks like a hole in the wall. They have limited drink offerings and the frozen drinks weren't ready except for one. I can't remember what it was called, but I ordered it, and it tasted like a virgin slushy. 1st strike. My guest specifically asked about the size of their crab legs, and said if they were small she would send them back. The server ensured us that they had crab legs with a lot of meat in them. They were running a special, I believe it was three clusters for like $22.99. We both ordered the special. We also orders a half dozen oysters, and gator bites. Oysters and gator bites took a while to arrive but they were delicious. The crab legs, which normally take minutes to prepare took a pretty long time. I had to get my employee to the airport, so we were a little pressed for time. When we received the crab, we were disgusted. I have never felt so disrespected before in my life. These crab legs were so tiny, they should have been thrown back in the ocean, those poor babies. The couldn't have been a pound. To boot, they were overcooked, so what little meat they did yield, was stuck to the shell, making it a battle to extract. They came with no corn or potatoes as they do in Katy, just the baby legs. We honestly didn't have time to send them back and order something else given our time restraints, but I did mention to the server that she lied to us, lol, and these were the tiniest, overcooked crab legs that I've ever eaten. She said she was sorry, most people love their crab legs. No manager was called, nothing was done to make us whole. So while I don't like leaving bad reviews, this one deserved it. We were so upset, we couldn't stop talking about it, and left Hank's hungry. On my drive back home to Katy, I was telling my husband about my experience and it made him crave Hank's in Katy. We went there and received drinks with alcohol in them, full sized crab legs with corn and potatoes, and left with smiles and full bellies. I'll leave a picture with a comparison of both Hank's, so that you can see I'm not overreacting, and so you can see all Hank's aren't created equally.

    Ok, I'm from New Orleans: one of the food capitals of the world. I don't know why Houston likes to add all these odd seasonings to their food--minced garlic and a sauce in boiled seafood, spices in Shrimp Fried Rice...I don't get it. But that's the style out here, and I've learned to embrace. With that said, my Shrimp Fried Rice was really good, and I'd definitely return if I have a taste for it.

    02/12/2019: Dinner (1 lb of Crawfish)
    Jan P.

    We came here pretty late on a Tuesday evening and the place was almost at its closure time. Nevertheless we received a very good service as the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. The crawfish was served in a wooden bowl rather than the usual plastic buckets. It was very spicy so I struggled especially with the potatoes and the corn. Very reasonable priced and a clean environment.

    Snow crabs
    Victoria S.

    The taste was nasty it tasted like, I can't use profanity but it was horrible. Seem like they boiled them in Galveston beach water i tried to eat it but the taste kept getting worse. If I could give them no stars i would. I only wanted one snow crab cluster but they had a deal 3 for 21.99 so I was like why not. What a waste of money. I don't know about their other food but don't get anything boil.

    Fried shrimp, trio fried rice includes shrimp, crawfish and chicken, an a order of boudain cheese balls
    Eddie O.

    Couldn't make it to mike seafood so stopped at my old stopping grounds and was satisfied as always. Ordered a large trio fried rice, 10 fried shrimp and a order of boudain cheese balls. I'm pleased as always and the staff was on top of everything. Love this place will keep coming anytime I have the chance to. Keep it up

    They're so nice! They gave my crying hungry baby a Twinkie while we waited for our food!

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally.

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.
