Hank's Austin

"i loved our server very much she made me feel comfortable and warm, i do not know her name. brunch was good. the bloody mary was too tomato and too thick but still consumable. the salad was very good and more filling than expected. i will not return but will suggest this place when acquaintances ask for southern style brunch in an elevated space."

"Hank's is a top restaurant in Mueller, with consistently great Southern food and a classy, casual atmosphere that's usually filled with fun people. The baked goods and homemade sauces are exceptional, so don't skip on the bread that comes with your entree. My favorite item is the bacon-egg-cheese biscuit served with berry jam. The biscuit is huge and crunchy on the outside, better than you can get get from anywhere with "biscuit " in their name. These days, it seems only served on the cafe side, so ask at the counter. They run out by 10am or earlier. The drip coffee is very heavy on the acid profile, similar to what I've had from Dazbog -- some people must love it, but I'll opt with espresso drinks here. After breakfast and brunch hours, the food selection is pricey compared to many restaurants in the area, although the quality is reliably high. Happy hour discounts encouraged us try most of the menu items over numerous visits. Our favorites are the crispy rice, fried chicken, zucchini fries, cheeseburger, grilled cheese with tomato soup, shakshuka, and the seasonal Weinerschneitzel. Parking is abundant, as is seating both inside and on the porch. We love bringing our dogs when it's sunny, and so do many customers, but many patio tables don't have a good hitching post for strong/reactive dogs, so the cafe is best with its metal railing. Finally, the music -- it's typically soul and classic rock from the 60s and 70s. The selections fit my tastes perfectly, but the vibes are friendly to all and invite you to sway or hop in your seat. The volume is tasteful and moderate, not disruptive to conversation but probably too loud for telework meetings on your laptop. Overall, we love Hank's and will always take friends and family there."

"My friend and I met up here to catch up and hang out, and also grab a bite to eat. We grabbed some coffee/tea on the Cafe side and found a seat to plug in our computers and do some work. It was a relaxed environment, the place looks cool, and overall just a good spot to get some work done, studying, or just hang out with a friend. There was pleasant music playing in the background which wasn't too distracting but also not too quiet to where we couldn't tell what was playing. We shared a turkey sandwich and the hummus and pita appetizer, and they were both pretty good. I'd definitely consider coming back and checking out the restaurant side."

"Very good happy hour spot. Hanks is low key with lots of parking and seating in the restaurant. The drinks are strong and the food is delicious. The happy hour drinks are around $8. We ordered Brussel sprouts, fried zucchini, hummus, and cheese board to eat while we drank. I will be coming back here!"

"Great restaurant and coffee spot. During the day, it is fun to come for a great cup of coffee. At night, the establishment turns into a restaurant. We have come here multiple times and have enjoyed many different entrees and sides. This time we got a burger and chicken sandwich and throughly enjoyed them. The atmosphere is cozy and great for a date or time with friends. Would highly recommend coming here."
