Hank's Downtown Dive

“I wasn't sure what to think when I first saw the menu, but I was pleasantly surprised. First, the service was great. I sat down and Cal immediately appeared and got my drink order. We had nine in our party and he did an awesome job taking orders, clearing the table and bringing out each round of food. The food was actually tasty and portions were good. The fried chicken is HUGE. The quesadilla was not what we expected, but not bad. I would give this place a chance, just pay attention to the ingredients.”

“Dropped in for drinks and desserts and we were not disappointed. The drinks were delightful and our dishes were quite tasty, especially the deviled eggs and berry crepe. Tasty! Service and the atmosphere were so warm and welcoming.”

“Spectacular is not good enough, four of us ordered the beets, elotedia, fried chicken and hanger steak. Nothing disappointed, the fried green beans were the eclectic surprise, but everything was awesome. Brittany did a fabulous job, perfectly attentive but not over bearing. Will dine here again!”

“It is so cute (not at all a dive) inside! They are very knowledgeable about gluten and have many options. The fried chicken was delicious and I really liked the fries. They also have fun cocktails, and my friends enjoyed their meals as well.”

“I love Hanks. I had been a few times before for cocktails and snacks but not for dinner. I've previously only sat at the bar and their patio so was nice to sit inside recently for dinner. It's cozy and adorably decorated. Their cocktails are really good. Their crispy eggplant was a winner for us both. My husband enjoyed his steak but absolutely the highlight of the night was the fried chicken. We didn't realize how large of a portion it was and we absolutely could've shared. The server referencing it as their "bucket of chicken" should've clued me in. 4 crispy pieces in a spicy honey sauce. Served with fries and fried green beans. It somehow all works. Great spot in downtown Cary to have drinks with friends or a date night. My husband and I left dinner and walked around Downtown Cary Park.”
