Our Hank’s Columbus experience was good. Food was very good. Service was disappointing. Our server was kind and polite but not warm and missed a lot of ques that in our opinion he should have caught. (We didn’t want to complain about a couple of small issues so when he took away a couple app plates that were barely touched, we were not asked about it) The restaurant also seemed inflexible to any kind of special request. (We heard “no” several times) The she crab soup was excellent. It is a beautiful restaurant and felt very Charlestonian. The female bartender last night was fabulous and incredibly friendly and enthusiastic. Her drinks were delicious and we felt very welcome at the bar. Having been to Charleston Hank’s several times, it’s nice that Columbus has one, but the southern hospitality here is definitely not the same. We would be willing to try again because several things were good or very good.

Service was fantastic! Table service clearing plates and replacing flat ware was outstanding. Our waiters wine recommendation was spot on. Peel n Eat shrimp was so good we got more. Crazy as it sounds at a seafood restaurant, the bone in pork chop was fabulous, fire grilled, tender. Grill station hit it perfect. She Crab and Tuna Tartare were okay, Raw oysters were clean, bright and minerally especially the Spring Creeks. Ambience is casual yet upscale, love to have those finishes in my home! Will check out the Hanks in Charleston because this was so good.

Hank's Low Country Seafood and Raw Bar is a true culinary gem that transports you straight to the heart of Charleston, SC. From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that perfectly complements the delectable dishes on offer. The service is impeccable, with knowledgeable and attentive staff who go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. The menu is a celebration of Lowcountry cuisine, featuring fresh seafood, hearty comfort food, and classic Southern sides. I was particularly impressed with the bone-in pork chop, which was cooked to perfection and paired flawlessly with creamy garlic mashed potatoes. The collard greens were an absolute revelation, showcasing the true essence of Southern cooking with their rich flavor and tender texture. If you're a fan of authentic Lowcountry cuisine, Hank's is an absolute must-visit. It's a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality, taste, and service that they've chosen to expand to Columbus, Ohio. We're incredibly fortunate to have such a remarkable dining experience right here in our own backyard.

Our first visit to Hank’s won’t be our last. From the greeting, seating and welcome experience everything was stellar. Our service was excellent. We had 2 dozen oysters, a crab appetizer, my husband had the grouper and I tried a delicious seafood Al mondo? It was a fabulous Birthday dinner!
