Ever since our great Aunt Bebe starting selling hamburgers and beer on her back porch during Prohibition, Hackney's has been making people happy!

Today we're famous for our big juicy Hackneyburgers on Hackney's Dark Rye® and our one-of-a-kind Hackney';s Original French Fried Onions®. Prohibition may be over, but our beer selling days are not. Hackney's has an ever-changing list of tap beers along with a full-service bar that can whip up any cocktail you can think of.

    Unfortunately service was a bit slow due to what looked like 1 wait person for the area. Noise level got a bit energetic. Food is always good.

We’ll definitely take this into consideration to improve the experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the food, though, and we hope to see you again soon!

    Food was all fried and not tasty. Ambiance fine. Disappointing overall. First server great but transitioned to another person who needed several reminders for additional drink

    Excellent food, abandoned by waitress after receiving our meal. Delightful ambience, seated by very loud table. Cost $15-$25. I will go back.

    We were there on time for our reservations. They sat us down. We waited close to 10 minutes and not one person ever came up to bring us water or acknowledge that we were there and the receptionist had an attitude of a fly. I will never go to that Hackney restaurant again.
    Hackney's on LakeResponded on 8 November 2024
    I’m really sorry to hear about your experience, and I sincerely apologize for the lack of service you received. That’s not the standard we strive for, and I can understand your frustration. We’ll definitely address this with the team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. I hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future. Thank you again for taking the time to share this.

    My husband and I go to Hackney's specifically for the French fried shrimp and the Fried Onions. Both are excellent. We were disappointed today because the red cocktail sauce which is usually quite good tasted like watered down ketchup. But this won't stop us from going back!!
    Hackney's on LakeResponded on 8 November 2024
    Thank you for the feedback! We’re so glad you and your husband enjoy the French fried shrimp and fried onions. We’re sorry to hear about the cocktail sauce this time and will definitely look into it.

    Totally surprising. This is my first visit to Hackney’s… of course the attraction was the 17 piece big band jazz ensemble, which was terrific. Not to mention the two lovely people we sat next to the entire show. They were an inspiration test and we thoroughly enjoyed their company. They made our night.
