We start with free range, all-natural Amish chicken. It’s brined, dredged, then dropped into custom-built fryers. It's got a little kick and is served with our house-made hot honey. But we don't stop there - Southern-style sides grace our menu, craft beer flows through our taps, and Blues music pumps through our speakers. At The Eagle, it's all about flying right, eating bird, and curing the Blues.

    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.

    Very positive experience - my blackened salmon salad was excellent. My daughter had chicken Parmesan, which is her favorite. My mom ordered the special on Monday, which is fried shrimp - she loved it. Service was great and happy hour helped a little with our beverages.
