Strong drinks, friendly staff, and some of the best fried chicken I've ever had in my life. Potato salad & yellow rice were excellent sides as well. seems like a classic neighborhood spot

Found out about this spot while walking with the 2nd line, on my first visit to New Orleans. This time I made it a point to try some food. Had their seafood and potatoes plate. Straight fire! . I guess it's a thrusday only special,and it was definitely a neighborhood favorite. This is a small spot on the corner in the heart of Treme, but I felt very welcome and safe. They even had security, so don't be scary, but at the same time don't be dumb, making yourself a target. You never know who is watching you, and that's just a rule you should apply whenever outside in places you don't know.. Love this place, gonna try and catch the grilled rib eyes next time..P. S : Couldn't find the pictures I took of my dish of seafood and potatoes plate, but if you are a fan of shrimp and grits, then trust me ;you will love the dish

Looks like my first visit to Hanks was a lucky one or they have new Employees who are just plain rude. Hank doesn't have to worry about me coming back. The lady in the pink Bonnet made eye contact with me at least 3 times as I'm standing there. I can see you are busy and I'm not upset at all that you are. I just want to place my order and wait. Not even so much as a ," I'll be right with you". I have and will continue to expect at the very least average service but in all honesty I'm going to say something. As a Customer I am not always right. But I am always the Customer. Why in the hell would I give you my money to be treated like a second class citizen? I kept my money and took it to Lil Dizzy's just 1 Block away. I ain't having it. It's 95 degrees outside too? Hell to the no. We're done. Y'allhollaatchaboy!

Incredible gem!!! Fortunate to have stayed very close and heard about all the amazing food from here. Sadly, my trip didn't last till Thursday when their specialty stuffed seafood potato is available. Even then, went here a couple of times. Had fried shrimp with divine mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese, as well as a plate of baked fish pasta with crab cakes on top. Luscious sauce and excellent seafood. Service was very intimate and warm and welcoming. The menu changes daily so I was coming again and again and it never disappointed. Also everything was extremely affordable! Cannot recommend enough!!

I chose the first Thursday night of the new year to try the seafood stuffed potato that I've heard so much about. Don't bother calling to order, because they won't answer the phone (personal experience and the guy who took my order confirmed). Don't let the lack of phone service keep you from the best seafood stuffed baked potato in town. Hop in your car and pull up to the side door. The super friendly order taker will walk up to your car window, take your order and payment, while you relax in the comfort of your vehicle. (This is surely a Covid precautionary measure, but it works!). After a few minutes my food was delivered to my car, by another very friendly gentleman (perhaps Hank, himself?) who thanked me for my business, asked how I found about them, etc. I left with a bag of food that smelled amazing and a strong feeling that I'd just done business with someone who very much earned and deserved my support. What a treat it was to open that bag and the boxes inside. Both stuffed potatoes, seafood and chicken, were wonderful! Perfectly seasoned and beyond filling.Can't wait for the opportunity to dine in and try a strong drink, or two, but until then I'll be perfectly happy to drive by for another awesome stuffed potato on an upcoming Thursday evening. #blackowned

So this is a neighborhood bar. That's been around forever. Strong cheap drinks. Friendly people. A chill vibe. And the best spot to get a seafood potato in the city!!So obviously everyone knows that their Thursday special is the seafood potato! I mean this thing is monstrous. I couldn't even see the potato underneath all of the seafood sauce, crawfish, shrimp and a huge lump of crabmeat. $10 for The potato with out the crabmeat. An extra $2 to add the crab meat. I added some fried fish on the side ($3). But I don't like that it's cooked in cornmeal though...to me it gives the fish a gritty feel when eating it. But it was flavored well and hot n fresh!! I come in every few months or so. Only for the potato though. My friend swears the BBQ shrimp on mondays are the best. Who knows....i may return to give em a try! Until next time though....if it's a Thursday and your trying to figure out what you want for lunch. Go get you a seafood potato!! You won't be disappointed.

First off. On Thursdays Tradition at my job is Hanks Seafood Potatoe. When i tell you the best potatoes full of seafood goodness. Its I believe 14$ but it is well worth the price.I was so full and content. It is inside the bar so you will see people partying sometimes in the daylight. There's always music while you wait. Time will be spent because everyone cones to crap these potatoes. So again you will be waiting for your food I mean but its still worth the wait. It cones with crawfish tails,shrimp,Lumps of crabmeat and topped off with green onion!! I can not write the goodness of this potatoe! Just try for yourself!

This place is a hidden gem, it's not in a busy street, it's literally a neighborhood bar, down a neighborhood street and voila! It's there. I was glad to see it was no-smoking. The bathroom was clean (which of which I went there). The bartenders, both of which were female, were nice and friendly. I asked if they had Abita beer (specifically Purple Haze) and the answer was no. I was able to score a Heineken (however not a dark one). The price was decent.
