💫CocoMay 20, 2020Hank’s never skips a beat, my favorite seafood for 10+ years. My go to favorite is the salmon, but tonight Kailee recommended the scallops and they were amazing! Perfectly cooked & seasoned!
Stephanie BurnettNovember 3, 2013Excellent dinner choice! Delicious food. Key lime pie for dessert a must! But the worst sangria I have ever had...tasted like white wine and ginger ale with an orange slice thrown in for color
Cristian VSeptember 4, 2014We started with the Shrimp Bisque and the Charleston She Crab Soup. Creamy & packed with flavor! Then the Seafood ala Wando. The saffron sauce alone could be a soup. Tons of seafood.
Carlos QuijadaFebruary 4, 2016Try the ceviche, it's very fresh and is nice entry to the deep fried happiness to come. Love that place like this are hoping their beer game. Had good selection of local brews.
Hannah SmithJuly 4, 2014Sam knows her menu! Impeccable service and amazing food choices! #5 was my jam... All varieties of seafood and you definitely won't leave hungry!
Derek FromsonAugust 24, 2014Nice selection of fish and seafood on the menu. Food is a little salty. Try the seared tuna. Ambience is nice, though a bit noisy. No written kids menu, but several choices available from the waiter.
Danielle Tasker .March 15, 2016I've never felt the need to rate a place or anything but if you're in Charleston I more than highly recommend trying this place. This is by far the best restaurant I've ever been to :)
EaterJuly 30, 2012Consistency is the name of the game at Hank’s and the food is always fantastic. The grouper is a solid dish, but for the wow factor go for the seafood tower! [Eater 18 Member]
Pete DumontFebruary 11, 2014Shrimp and grits. Mustard greens are awesome! Sweet potato fries are the best I've had - they have a mix of Cajun spices and sugar. Unique and yummy.- Danielle Tasker .March 15, 2016The Seafood A La Wando was absolutely incredible. Not only was the food great the our waitress was sweet as can be and the atmosphere was great!
Joe NebusFebruary 3, 2018Service is Tops! Bulletproof Menu! Great Atmosphere! Low Noise Level! One of my ‘Go To’ Places when friends visit.

Stark SJanuary 6, 2013Seared tuna tar tar was extremely good. Between the crab fingers, oysters casino, and the tuna, everything was very good. Highly recommended.
Jacob AbbottMay 9, 2013Get the #5 best scallops and shrimp I have has in a long time. Secret is to ask for the blackened seasoning.

sherri huntingtonAugust 2, 2010Endive salad and seared tuna.... light and fabulous! Warm pecan pie w/ ice cream. Beautiful presentation and service. PS reservations made life much easier.
Eddie LorenzoMay 25, 2020The BOUILLABAISSE was good but I was hoping for a more tomato flavor broth like it says. I didn’t taste any tomato in it. The ceviche was great.
Freddie ReedDecember 20, 2011Sautéed salmon with herbed vinaigrette, fried mashed potatoes, and spinach with diced tomatoes is incredible
Robert LeeMay 30, 2012She crab soup was amazing. Martinis were served big and cold. Yana was the best server ever!

Massimiliano BertozziJune 22, 2015Food was excellent but I didn't enjoy it because it was really freezing in there. A penguin could have died.
