My husband and I hit up Hank's Local for dinner tonight. The Big Sky Beer Cheese Pretzels (not pictured) were delicious. The cheese was smooth and perfectly tangy and paired with nicely toasted pretzels. I had a Hank's Classic Smashburger (minus the onion) with 3 Cheese Macaroni. The burger was juicy and cooked to a wonderful medium well. The bun was a bit flimsy and would have likely held its own a bit better if it were toasted. The mac and cheese was creamy and pasta just past al dente. It could have used a bit of seasoning and maybe some bread crumps for some texture. I also had a lojito and it was a nice bright minty start to warm spring weather. My husband had the Fish and Fries. I thought the 3 fries I stole were near perfect but he said the portion was a bit over-salted. The haddock was cooked nicely with just the right amount of seasoning and crunch. The coleslaw had a little bite to it but was balanced well with the creamy aspect. Overall, I think we would give them an 8/10. We would definitely go back and are curious how their brunch menu holds up. On a side note, my husband said the men's bathroom was very clean. And as someone who has had to clean my fair share of men's bathrooms, I can say that's impressive. ETA: Husband and I went back for brunch. We had the loaded biscuits and breakfast tacos. I thought the loaded biscuits were good after adding a bit of hot sauce. They were a bit bland on their own and could benefit from some diced peppers or more black pepper in the gravy. My husband said the tacos were good but would ask for the syrup on the side the next time.

We ordered via DoorDash tonight. The caper mushroom burger was DELICIOUS and my chicken Caesar salad as well. The dressing was amazing. We look forward to ordering again!

A regrettable visit today. We and several other parties came at 9:45 to find Hanks locked and nobody answered the phone. When they finally opened about half an hour later, they had not listed several items on the menu, but told us after they had put them in the order. Hanks is a good place to eat, but we were very disappointed at our visit today. We hope that staff and care will soon be fixed.
