i first dined in this restaurant back when fancy hank’s still occupied the top level of the mercat pub at vic market. the bourke st venue is wonderful and spacious. price has gone up since then though. do try the side dishes. coleslaw and corn bread are excellent. bbq brisket is tasty but a tad dry. pulled pork is delicious. there is an extensive beer list on offer but i recommend to check the prices before ordering because it can easily drain your wallet. overall the food is still good but it’s no longer as affordable as it used to be.

super delicious ! both the brisket and pulled pork were outstanding, and the corn bread was a quality side. the atmosphere is great and the wait staff are very attentive. highly recommend !

didn't expect too much from the place since the reviews here suggest an average bbq place. the place didn't disappoint but i can't rave about it either. the food items i enjoyed the most was from the snacks and sides list; pork belly and fried cauliflower. the beef brisket, however popular the staff claim it to be was not great. the sausages were, though. don't bother getting the ribs because they were dry.
overall, it was pretty good and the service was top. i also understand why the pictures posted by other reviewers didn't look too appetizing, it was definitely difficult and the lighting in the place didn't help either. but despite my whiney about the dry ribs and beef brisket, i would recommend this place.

best mac and cheese i've had in a long time! the beef brisket was the stand out in terms of smoked meat. ordered coleslaw as a side which was quite watery, still had good flavour. very satisfied when the meal was done.

not so 'fancy' hanks. with the prices of this place we had high hopes, which unfortunately were severely dashed when the food came out. the servings were very small, especially the meat, and our brisket tasted uncomfortably like an old piece of silverside. the service was mediocre, apart from the bartenders, and the hostess seemed reluctant to seat tables for two...we're guessing to make room for larger seatings. definitely won't be returning.

dropped by last night for a late supper and ideally quick snack.
was greeted at the door by a charming hirsute host whom was just perfect in his role.
he briskly seated me at the bar and handed me over to one of the bar staff.
menu, chat & service a gogo.
i ordered a leffe, the carrots and brisket.
beer amazing but steep at $16
brisket good but not memorable
carrot were bloody fantastic! would return for these day after day. the blend of brine with the mussels was perfect acidity which married with the richness of the brisket
i left thinking that $54 was a little more than i wanted to spend on a quick eat but i would pay it happily again for the top notch service i received from the bar staff & the host.
thank you for showing how it's done! awesome job

their pros - great service and ambience. loved the mac and cheese.
cons - ran out of chicken at 615pm for dinner service! also their meat was dry and tough. when we advised of this issue, they advised it was a problem with the suppliers.
good try but better luck next time.

i basically went to fancy hank's because it's on my mac n' cheese hit list. the mac n' cheese was good (though our serving wasn't very warm), but the stand-out for me was their lamb ribs entree special (with some kind of chunky capsicum-cashew sauce not unlike pesto). would also recommend the potato salad and fries. we also had the beef brisket which came with coffee molasses - interesting but not unpleasant!

fairly solid food and service, pork ribs and pork belly starters were highlights, and salads were crisp and well balanced from a savoury and acidity perspective. value/price a little stretched, and limited dessert menu. would still return though.

ideal for a group of friends. we got the banquet $50 per person. the meat was so tender. the cornbread was a hit. the cos salad was so crunchy and delicious. the service was outstanding. all the waitresses were very attentive and entertaining.

needed a quick eat before heading to her majesty's theatre for aladdin the musical. as always i was running late and needed somewhere that could pump out some food. ordered the chicken, sausage links and corn bread and they certainly pumped out some tasty food. can't wait to come back.

came here for lunch with a friend. i ordered the beef brisket. it took abit of time to arrive but the restaurant was packed. the brisket was nice and flavours was there, but was a lil on the dry side. having been in the venue for an hour my clothes smell of smoke which wasn't pleasant when having to go back to work.

mac and cheese is the bomb!! ordered the brisket lunch option which was really delicious. my partner ordered the chicken sandwich, which was mediocre, bland and the roll tasted a bit stale, but the brisket was so good it made up for it! was a bit disappointed to have a 10% surcharge as it was a sunday.. haven't been to many places that do that these day. would return but would try not to good on a sunday

i love a good meat restaurant (meat maiden for example). i have had f.h lined up for a while so with thrilled when i got an invite. brilliant food. everyone loved the mac & cheese and everyone felt pretty happy with the servings. friendly staff that knew their menu. i didn't have to pay so happily can't comment about value for money but i don't think i would have minded regardless.
