Great food and wonderful local charm.. (noisy, but worth it) more

If you're looking for generous portions of home-style fare, this is the place. My family and I have been to Hank's many times over the last several decades, and the good food has remained consistent.

One girlfriend was having the manhattan clam chowder and after having a spoonful, in the... more

Their specials are divine - who know macaroni and cheese with stewed tomatoes could be so luscious? Quiche excellent, yummy chicken, fish, sandwiches - I haven't... more

Good Breakfasts - specials are outstanding, particularly the Mushroom omelets as well as the pancakes. The line is obnoxious if you come late. more
