This was my first time coming to Hank's. I came because I have heard a lot of good things about the food, but today must have been an off day. The Mac n cheese was mushy, and the greens were undercooked for my personal taste. The cornbread muffin was under cooked also it was doughy. The service Tamera was great she was patient with us since this was our first time. They played some really good music and it was not too loud you could still have a conversation with the person across from you. The dirty rice was decent overall it was not a good eating experience. read more

Went about Noon for lunch. Ordered the chicken wings & collars. Hsb ordered the half chicken & collars. Took over 40 min to get both orders so, be prepared to wait. This is mainly the reason for only 4 stars. Both meals were very good, although the wings were way too salty for me. I was able to offset some of that by adding the sauce. Husband's chicken was seasoned just right. The collards were good, but again, a bit too salty. The service was better once the majority of the other guests left. All of that said, I'll probably go back, but only if I have plenty of time. read more

Hank's was good. I got the baked potato. It did not have as much meat as I expect. The flavor was good. Hank actually came to our table so make sure our food was good. Super nice guy. The ambiance is nice. A cozy restaurant with a few places for larger groups. read more

I was so excited when I found this place! I thought finally a good bbq place to eat it at, but I won't be adding it to my favorites sadly. I will start on a good note despite having some hiccups, my food and my friends not showing up, our waitress, bless her heart bc I think she was the only one that day was working her butt off! She was apologetic and got us our food right away. 3 of my friends had brisket, 1 had the turkey leg and I got sides. All 3 agreed that the brisket was dry, so dry the bbq sauce didn't help. Turkey leg was good so maybe that is the meat to get. My collard greens had good flavor but the meat in it was tough, the mac and cheese was ok, and the fried okra sadly was over fried and soaking in oil. i know they were very busy that day but i just expected the quality to be better. read more

Awesome service and Hank's fall off the bone turkey leg smothered in collard greens & Mac'n Cheese is the bomb! Saw a TikTok video and we had to check it out! It lives up to the hype! Plus that plate is huge! Had leftovers for days! Lol read more

I got the rib plate with fries and a side of Mac and cheese. Ribs had a good bark to them. Super flavorful. I wish the different flavors of bbq sauce was pointed out when I ordered because I couldn't get any when I got my food. There was a little bit of a line. There was bbq sauce on the table, but I wanted some spicy bbq sauce. (First world problems). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lobby was comfortable and warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This was our second visit at 8pm Saturday evening on 9.23. Timing for restaurants is always important, especially when you know they will sell out. Our first visit at 4pm was out of stuffed chicken. Naturally, this visit they were out of chicken, brisket, and baked potatoes. We asked for our order to-go since the tables were full. It took 45 minutes to be ready but it was hot and fresh. The ribs were delicious and melted like butter. We did not like the dirty rice side with the sauce but the loaded fries were a decent substitution for a baked potato at 8pm. It's currently $2 per can of soda but the woman at the register mentioned they're working on a full replacement of the fountain machine. The restaurant can run out of tables fairly quick when they're busy. There is a section to wait for to-go orders and about 6 seats available on the front porch. You order at the register on the left. You're given a table number with your receipt and you seat yourself. The parking lot is easy to miss because it's separate from the Hank's sign but there's a decent amount of parking. Original review: I'll add more detail later but holy fire - what a great meal. We dined in and waited about thirty minutes after we ordered. 9.16.23 @4pm read more

We found this gem while looking for a spot close to the zoo for lunch. It was our first time. There were 5 of us and between us all, we tried the smoked winglets, fried winglets, brisket tacos, stuffed chicken, dirty rice, Mac and cheese and okra. It was amazing! Staff was friendly, attentive and very helpful when we ordered. It took 30-40 minutes to get our food but it was worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will say they were slammed with all tables in the front dining room full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely return! read more

"If it ain't Hank's, no thanks!" That's the tagline for Hank's and we can definitely see why. We literally just pulled up on a whim and we're surprised to find a small building packed with cars all around. Stepped inside to a line of people snaking through the restaurant to place their orders. It was a steady flow of people. The place is fairly decent in size with 3 seating areas- one being a bar. The inside is colorful, clean and inviting. Unfortunately the wait for the food was LONG. We waited about an hour BUT they made it up to us. :) The people were really kind. This place is obviously known for their smoked meat but my family prefers non-smoked and we honestly went straight for the fried wings. Here's what we ordered: 3 entrees of fried wings with Hank's sauce, Buffalo Sauce and Yellow Bone. The sauces were just drizzled on the wings, it wasn't fully coated, so definitely different. The Hank's sauce reminded us a bit of a honey mustard. Yellow Bone was actually a bit similar but with a hickory taste. Sides were fried okra, Mac n cheese, and baked beans. We asked for a cornbread muffin but alas, they were out. Fried okra - great! Mac n cheese wasn't saucy but it was good. Real simple. Baked beans were tangy and sweet - delicious! We also ordered Nachos with chopped brisket - this was fun to eat because the Nachos were literally Doritos Nacho Cheese with gooey cheese and brisket. Kids especially enjoyed it. Lastly, we ordered a seafood Mac n cheese with shrimp and crawfish. Similar to the regular but it had seafood and Cajun seasoning sprinkled on it. Oh, and let's not forget our Smoked Ribs! I know we said we don't like smoked but when we saw these come out, we couldn't resist. We liked it but I promise you if you like smoked meat, you'll LOVE this. Our family is just weird like that. Haha. We asked for the loaded baked potato but they were out of potato. The wings entree were listed as $15 for six wings and one side. Ribs were a 3 piece. Looking at the sides, we made the assumption that the price was a bit pricey comparable to the portions. But, when the food came out, we noticed they gave us 8 wings per order instead of 6 and 4 ribs instead of 3. Score! And you know how I said they made the wait time up to us? A nice lady came by and said "I heard you guys had ordered some corn bread but we were out. We have a bit now and I can bring some." She literally brought out two scrumptious slightly sweet slices of their cornbread. For them to even remember we ordered cornbread an hour prior and offer it without taking payment- that's customer service! Overall, we were happy and here's your opportunity for a better day as well. Go check it out! read more

Service and food were amazing, I didn't get a full photo of the catfish before we devoured it. I'm low carb so the wings were amazing, will be back to try the jerk chop and turkey leg. This is a local restaurant and the bartender was amazing. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: ? I tried to go for the first time on a Saturday. The wait was too long and my blood sugar was too low so my husband and I decided to come back during the week. We walked in on a Tuesday and we able to order right away. So pro tip go during the week. I ordered the stuffed Turkey leg with macaroni and cheese and my husband ordered the Alfredo and fried wings with Mac and cheese. When we got our water cups we were told the ice machine was out and we would need to go to the bar for ice. Ok. Plus I can check out the happy hour. They had lots of drinks but none I wanted so I ordered a double shot of vodka and pineapple juice and got two cups of ice. The bar was full and you order your drinks and go back to your table. Right when I was walking back my food was delivered and the Alfredo my husband ordered. His wings had 8 more minutes. He should have been told that when he ordered or shortly after. Overall the Turkey leg was ok. It was a tad dry. I'm not a big fan of them but I wanted to try it because this is what they're known for. My husbands Alfredo was spicy but he enjoyed it. The wings looked great but he asked for all flats and didn't get that. The foiliners are a nightmare to eat on, your fork will poke through and you have to be careful not to eat it. The macaroni and cheese was decent. I'll wait a few months and go back. The art is amazing but the decor is standard BBQ decor. read more

The service was terrible, it took nearly 2 hours to get food. The girls were not friendly at all.

I had brisket sandwich with fries. Wife had catfish with collards. Food was good. Somehow the kitchen forgot to make my order. I had to wait a long time before the waitress recognized there was an issue. Service not what I hoped for. Sat on the bar side. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Music was WAY too loud to have conversations with companions without yelling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was at 1pm. That is always a disappointment. The young man who was the owner was very nice and listened to my wife's feedback. He was even gracious enough to take a picture with us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would return but I would sit on the other side of the restaurant. It appeared to me quieter on that side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If not, we'll do takeout. read more

Was visiting OKC for a funeral decided to stop by before driving back home. It was around 1:30 pm on a Saturday. There was a small line but moved fairly quickly. The wait was a bit but to be expected. My husband wanted the chicken wings but they were out so settled for the wingettes. He said they were ok nothing special. Wanted cake but they were out as well. I ordered the Sunday turkey leg. It was really good the greens were just super salty had to remove those. The staff was super friendly would return just based off them. The ambiance was nice and enjoyable. read more

The restaurant is clean and fresh looking. The menu is varied but not complicated. We ordered a variety of items and shared them around the table. As soon as we started we wanted more and more. If you're not careful, it's easy to overeat! Delicious barbecue. We'll definitely be back. read more

We went to Hank's after the Science Museum because it was listed as a family restaurant. We walked in and were greeted with a smile. I asked the guy at the counter what we should get. He recommended the wings, the loaded fries, and the catfish. We ordered all three and they were PHENOMENAL! The fried wings were perfection--I highly recommend the spicy Hank sauce. My three year old ate the massive fish filet with no complaints. The brisket loaded fries were soooo good! Hank was in the house and came over to check on us. He was very thankful for us trying it out and recommended some of his daughter's famous lemonade. It was delicious!! We are so happy we gave this place a try--it was a wonderful experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean and inviting![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You take a seat, check out the menu, then order at the front. We did have to wait a bit for the food, but the place was packed and they updated us multiple times during the wait. read more

It was my first time on a Tuesday afternoon here I got the Big Easy which was good but majority of it was rice which was cooked too long and it had a sauce on top that wasn't tasty to me. Tried some of the Church on Sunday and that was better. The corn muffin didn't taste done. Loved my baked beans . Tamera took our order brought our food she was super nice and patient. I ended up getting a drink it was too much if the alcohol for me. The noise volume was quite low. read more

I drove 4 hours from Texas to OKC for a quick visit. We stopped here for lunch. The catfish was worth the drive. I'm very particular about catfish. It was cooked perfectly. Crisp breading & seasoned on the outside with flaky catfish inside. It made my trip worth it. I have plans to visit next year on my trip back. read more

I've been on the hunt for a good soul food restaurant in okc, and I'm pleased to say everything aligned with what I was looking for. The prices are fair, portions generous, food, particularly the ribs and mac & cheese, are incredible. My ribs were moist, very well seasoned, and TENDER. The mac had such a good flavor and consistency. I was slightly skeptical at first but after that first bite I finished it all. The catfish was big, moist and crispy and well seasoned. The service was friendly, prompt and straightforward. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As I was wrapping things up, lots of people were coming in and heading to the bar, so it's safe to say that everything about Hank's is flowing smoothly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. And if you're not, drive there-- it's worth it. I will definitely be back. read more

Yesterday was my boyfriend and I's first time trying Hank's. I had been following the IG page for a while and then started to notice the food pop up on my TikTok feed as well. Needless to say the food appeared very appetizing. We arrived around 4. It was slightly busy, but nothing unreasonable. Even with it being busy we still got our food within a matter of 5-10 minutes. We ordered two smoked turkey legs and two sides (Mac and cheese and greens), the price was a bit steep coming out to $64 after tip. I can't speak on the ambiance of the restaurant due to us getting our food to go. However, the music while we were there was great Upon getting home we sat down got everything prepared to eat, I was slightly surprised. The greens were absolutely delicious and didn't have pork which was a win in general for us. Mac and cheese was a little bland for my palate I did end up having to add some Tony's creole seasoning. Our turkey legs were so tender they fell off the bone, it was just missing a little something, so I did take the juices from my greens and poured it all over the turkey meat, that was exactly what it needed. Overall we would definitely eat here again. I'd say if you're looking to splurge and try something new and local this spot is the place. One leg and two sides is enough for two people to split, especially if you're looking to cut on cost but keep a feasible amount of food. Only "negative" (and I use the word lightly), there were no sweet potatoes, peach cobbler, or banana pudding. I would've loved to see those on the menu. read more

It was really great to find a bbq place open on New Year's Eve and the restaurant itself has a cool vibe. I especially liked the women's restroom and the art on the walls. My meal was pretty mediocre- we were there for baked potatoes but they were out so I switched to the nachos and was prepared for a dorito version. They were also extremely sweet which I wasn't anticipating. For the cost I didn't think the value was there but perhaps I just ordered the wrong item. read more

I give this place a 5 star because every thing was great and I don't want to short a star because of one bad apple. I was happy to see they were open on Christmas Eve. This was my son and I first time dining here. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a hello from an employee that was close to the kitchen area Now, here goes the bad apple part. The cashier was so rude, immediately!! No, hello, welcome, how can I help you or anything like that. I mean immediately rude for no apparent reason. I told her this was our first time being here, she looked at me with no expression. So, I said what are those drinks (I pointed at the bottles of juice behind her) she answered extremely quick and low. I asked her what is the Brooklyn Lemonade? She said that those! I said, so they are different lemonade flavors (they were different colors in the bottles not just yellow like the original lemonade). She shrugged and said yeah! After that, I paid and sat down to wait for our food. She didn't say it's self seating. Once our food arrived, she physically slide out from the side of the booth we were sitting. Didn't say enjoy or any nice gesture. My 7 year old son noticed the behavior of her as well and he said, mommy she's talking to the other customers more than she was talking to us and she is smiling to them. I asked another employee who walked passed while checking on us if I could get a Togo box. And she came around and she checked on the other customers except us. And at first I thought I was being a little too aware but when I noticed that I knew I wasn't seeing things. She was so friendly to everyone else who came through the door. They were all older people in their 60s and men she greeted in a happy manner. I made sure to get her name. DeAshia C. one of the rudest cashiers I've ever experienced. I hope the owner sees this because I know I'm not the only one who experienced this customer service. It's so sad that it's always just one. I'm all about supporting the black owned businesses because there is a lack of support and majority of the time it's because of employees like DeAshia C. The Stuff Turkey Leg with Mac & Cheese was delicious and their lemonade fruit punch and green apple was so good. read more

This was a horrible experience! The staff was rude and out of everything in the kitchen at 8 pm. The staff at the bar overlooked our group on purpose, and when we finally got her attention she was short with us and suddenly out of shot glasses. The owner approached us with an attitude and defensive instead of just trying to make the experience right. "I'm not allowed to run out of anything?!" It's so hard to support us and I hate that. I had high hopes. read more

I ate at Hank's today and it was very average to be honest and certainly not worth the premium price. I had the Big Easy which is Turkey leg with dirty rice, shrimp and crawfish. There were only about 4 shrimp on it which were unseasoned and lacked flavor. The mac n cheese was basic too. This a classic example of a place with hype that is extremely disappointing. read more

Heard about this place from one of the owners, Lakecia. So my wife and I went there the next day. When we pulled up, we were amazed at what a great looking place it was. Very eye-catching exterior. The inside is wonderful, very clean and inviting. The daughter of the owners took our order, and offered to take us on a tour. The place is much larger than it appears from the street, and even includes a great little bar in the back. The food was incredible. My wife and I both agreed that Hanks was a "we're gonna come back" restaurant. I had the "Big Easy", stuffed 1/2 chicken with crawfish and shrimp. My wife had the bbq sandwich. Their sauce for her bbq was amazing. The next time we go, we're going to buy a bottle of it. Thanks Hanks for adding such a great restaurant to OKC! read more
