The menu consists of many American favourites - think jalapeno cornbread, hush puppies, brisket and mac'n'cheese. However, the pork ribs are definitely the star of the show. Sticky (with a delicious crunch) on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside, at $10.50 per 100g, they shouldn't be missed.
The sides I ordered, however, were not as inspiring. The jalapeno cornbread ($9.00), which I was hoping would be similar to Ike's Rack Shack's (which comes out warm, moist and bursting with flavour) was dry and flavourless.
The fries with Texan chilli beans ($13) were also disappointing. Whilst the fries themselves were cooked well and deliciously seasoned, the chilli beans were luke warm and lacked in spice and flavour (thank goodness Hank's has a chilli sauce station!)
So the moral of the story is that I would only return to Fancy Hanks BBQ to splurge on their ribs. However, if attending Hank's on a hot night, I would highly recommend trying to find a spot on their outdoor balcony, which is also home to Hank's herb garden, and a prime position for a beer in the afternoon sun.
Food: 3/5
Service: 2.5/5
Venue: 2.5/5
Total: 8/15
Verdict: Like - but only because of their ribs!
