This is another place that we make it a point to frequent whenever we vacation in Santa Rosa. The staff is awesome and the food has always been consistently good! Biscuits and gravy....yum! This place has been around for many years and it's easy to see why. I look forward to visiting Hank's whenever I'm in the area.

We were probably the only folks not locals. The wait staff and cooks were all welcoming and had good senses of humor. We had burgers (probably should have had breakfast instead ) and they were great. Definitely a good casual place to stop.

OK...I know Hank's Creekside is often considered 'THE' place to go for breakfast in the Santa Rosa area, and that Hank's comes highly recommended. I don't get it. The food is average at best, still-gooey-in-the-center pancakes at worst. The restaurant is overly crowded, both with people and furniture. It's not 'buzz'-y, as another reviewer has said, it's just plain LOUD... More

I've been to Hanks probably 20+ times (which should tell you something) and the thing that I most like about the place is the atmosphere. The food is better than average, the service is very good. It's the buzz inside that to me makes Hanks what it has become to Sonoma County. There always seems to be a positive vibe... More

Been around for ever, always a line, always worth it, and they make their own hashes which they are famous for...but try anything and you will be happy and full when you leave!

Breakfast here was delicious! I highly recommend the walnut bread french toast and chicken apple sausage. The staff was very friendly and made us feel like regulars!

We went to Hanks thanks to TA. That picture that is posted on here of the California Benedict had me sold. We were lucky to nag a table within 10 minutes and breakfast was great. My table of 4 had the Ca Benedict, the corn beef hash, an omelette, and the specialty French toast. We were all very happy. If... More

This is my favorite breakfast place! Great pancakes and egg's benedict are fantastic! It's just a small diner, not a lot to look at, and parking can be a bit rough, but definitely worth it! Service is always friendly.

We went for breakfast and it was super delicious. I ordered an omelet with fresh vegetables. The place is small, service is quick, and it does get crowded because the food is great.

My husband and I stayed at the Flamingo Resort and walked across the street to Hank's for breakfast everyday. Great food in a traditional old school diner atmosphere. Servers are extra friendly. A place locals go ...which is a good sign. Extensive menu. Definitely recommend.
