Good selection is wonderful, also the waitress was fabulous.

Close walking distance to Ohio Theater with nice view overlooking Christmas lights in Columbus Commons. Met up with a friend for dinner before seeing Jon Stewart. Service was fast, food was hot and tasted great, atmosphere was friendly and lively without being too loud to hold a conversation. Great place to grab food if you're downtown for an event.

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.

We had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely be back soon!

Lunch in downtown Columbus is back and special! We started with the Dirty Tots - crispy, spicy on the outside, creamy on the inside with a pop of caviar with dill garnish. Fantastic. The Lobster Roll is warm, filled with plump claw meat in a buttery roll with clarified butter for dipping and crispy shoestring fries. The Roasted Chicken was beyond any roast chicken with stuffing in the chicken breast, savory glaze on perfectly crisped skin. Even the iced tea was special - the current house made creation is a Blood Orange Iced Tea. A second glass arrived just as I was finishing the first. Service is friendly and gracious, there is valet at the lunch hour, and the interior of the restaurant is a lovely mix of formal and floral. A great business or celebratory lunch spot - much needed downtown.
