    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.

    Our first visit to Hank’s won’t be our last. From the greeting, seating and welcome experience everything was stellar. Our service was excellent. We had 2 dozen oysters, a crab appetizer, my husband had the grouper and I tried a delicious seafood Al mondo? It was a fabulous Birthday dinner!

    The service was not good. Our server should probably chose a different career since he mentioned he was a veteran. He didn’t listen and seemed to have trouble multi tasking which resulted in long waits or missing things altogether. Just overall needs some specific training that helps with his rhythm. I was charged for things that were a result of his not listening but too much time to ask him to fix so I just reduced his tip. Food was good , although pricey but knew that going in.

    Disappointed. Had high expectations but food was unseasoned, barely lukewarm and nothing special, generally tasteless. Waiter was great but we were rushed through the entire experience including the wait staff. Beautiful restaurant and great location.

    Food was great! However, for those like me, the restaurant is dimly lit. Appreciate the atmosphere, but difficult for patrons with vision issues. Noise level is above average. For a large party they will be speaking loudly to each other.
