The restaurant is beautiful. We got the "Ribs for Two" and we thought the ribs were just okay. The sides were very small. However the salads were delicious. We also got a brownie sundae. Again very small and just okay. We would probably not return. More

This was about our only seated dining choice when we arrive after a long day getting the the resort. Food was ok portions small for the price. The waitress was more interested in her others tables who I guess she thought were going to tip better than a couple just looking to eat and go. Popular place but then again... More

Amazing BBQ and we are BBQ snobs. Try the pork or beef sandwiches. They are both excellent. The dry rub wings and Brunswick Stew are also fantastic. Save room for dessert. All homemade ! More

Hank's was easy to find, clean and the employees were friendly and helpful. The BBQ was done well and tasty, I am not a fan of vinegar based sauces. I prefer a sweet/tangy sauce. The food was delivered fast and hot, my tea was always full and server was above average, just not to my taste. More

My wife and two kids went to Hank's Smokehouse for dinner on a Saturday and I must say, after reading all the positive reviews, we were looking forward to some juicy ribs in a laid back atmosphere. That was not the case. Our server was always in a rush and appeared to be serving way more tables than what she... More

A group of nine of us visited during the week of March12. It was our first time visiting, and we were impressed with the variety of BBQ offerings on the menu. Tried the dry rub ribs, coated with a brown sugar mixture - was quite yummy, with the ribs being nicely done and very tender. The wet ribs, whiskey based... More
