Food: corn ribs were amazing. Pulled lamb shoulder extremely tender and full of flavour. Cherry cola sauce 👌🏻
Service: staff were knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. Food came out fairly fast.
Price: bit on the pricier side for the serving size.
Ambience: high ceilings and window out to the street provided nice views of the CBD.
Nice venue for work functions. The food was delicious, and the express menu was not too bad for the price paid (sandwich + side + drink), but the quantity was a bit small. Overall a nice experience, will consider revisit.

Insane pork ribs, great brisket and amazing entrees. It's no surprise that their pork ribs are so popular because they are really good and somehow different to the typical american ribs. It's a little dryer (not in a bad way), has less graze but the white sauce on top really made it unique and brought out the best of the ribs.
We came here last night before going to rhe ‘Good Heavens rooftop bar’ upstairs from here. The staff were very friendly and very attentive. We were able to be served quickly and the food did not take long at all to come even though it was very busy. The bbq fries were very tasty and my partner liked the cornbread with sweet jalapeño sauce but I didn’t like it as much as i prefer my cornbread a bit sweeter and a different flavour. The chicken wings were yummy too! Great view with the wall to wall window as well.
Impressed by the bold flavours!
Mac and cheese!! The number 1 dish on the menu for me, it was sensational. Fancy Hanks does a number of delicious sides which we opted for over some larger mains. The setting is also very cool.
Second time I've been to Fancy Hanks, and again it did not disappoint! We had the brisket, the lamb ribs, BBQ chips, and pickled beans. All were perfect on their own and together. I can't wait to come back and try the lunch menu!
Came here on a Sunday night, we booked in advance online and were greeted by friendly staff.
They were very accommodating and took some time to run through the menu with us.
We shared two small entrees, two mains and a side amongst three hungry people.
Everything was flavourful, not over powering and cooked very well.
Our favourite was probably the pork chops, which was a melt in your mouth experience. The drinks were also good as well. Great place to catch up with friends or have a family dinner.

Very happy with the feast we had here! Started with the pork croquettes, turmeric fried cauliflower and devilled egg - all 3 were close to sensational. For mains we had 500 grams of ribs which was a far bigger portion than expected - lots of meat and not so much bone! The ribs weren’t melt in your mouth, fall off the bone style - but they were full of smokey taste and flavour. I told the waiter they weren’t as expected and he explained that this is due to the smoking process - sounds legit! Along side the ribs we had the biscuit with maple butter, the Mac n cheese and the green bean salad. Honestly, it was a top notch meal. Kudos as well to our waiter (didn’t get his name), but he was knowledgeable and helpful - a credit to the business!
We love a good bbq joint! Fancy Hank’s is great place tp catch up with friends and family!
We loved the venue and also the delicious food they offer.
Particularly amazed by their Sweet & Sour BBQ Wings with yoghurt ranch and also their Cornbread with sweet jalapeno spread and pickled jalapenos - flavours are amazing!!!
Apart from those, we also had their 14-hour smoked Rangers Valley brisket with coffee molasses, red onion pickles, Mac n cheese with provolone, thyme crumbs, BBQ fries with tamarind mayonnaise.
I think the brisket was a bit too strong in flavour for me though, we couldn’t finish the whole serve!
As others have mentioned, service was great. And very accommodating, since I was dining alone they allowed me to order one serving when the minimum was for 2 (Pitmaster platter).
It didn't seem like a lot of food, but I couldn't finished it.
The deviled egg and fries were nice. The Beef brisket was a little too dry for my liking, as I like my brisket fatty which makes to meat more tasty IMO. And pulled pork was ok too.
Had a great time at Fancy Hanks. The smoked meat was nicely cooked and the sauces worked so well with meats. Will be back the next time in Melbourne.
(But will ask for lower seating - bar stools a little uncomfortable for a bloke of my proportions 😅)
We went to Fancy Hanks a few weekends ago for the first time, we ordered the Pitmaster BBQ Platter and got:
🥚 Deviled Eggs
🥜 Mixed Nuts
🥩 Beef Briskets
🍗 Buffalo Wings
🍗 Fried Chicken
🍞 Corn Bread
🍟 Seasoned Chips
🥗 Coleslaw
Everything was great, full of flavor, good portions and cooked perfectly! The beef brisket was incredibly tender and fell apart so easily with just a touch. The wings were our favorite for sure! Also, the corn bread was amazing & we’re still daydreaming about it. We 100% recommend you to try their platter 😋
The only downside was the restaurant space itself. We went there on a somewhat hot day and unfortunately they only have two wind pipes which weren’t really helping nor cool. I was struggling with the heat so we had to get the food to go and went home (luckily we live close-by!). So our recommendation is either get a takeaway or wait to dine in until the weather cools down! ❄️
This place is the bomb! Everything was perfect, down to the chips and coleslaw. Pulled pork and brisket melts in your mouth, the sauces that come with each dish are outstanding and the service was fantastic and quick - such helpful and friendly staff. I'd recommend adding the blooming onion to your order, you won't regret it!
