The vibes and the aesthetic of the restaurant are great. The dim lit lighting gave it a very rustic energy. The tables however, are a little bit too tall to be comfortable to sit on. We ordered the premium BBQ platter amongst 7 of us. The food was overall good. The portions were very filling. There was nothing too significant about the menu except for the pulled pork which was amazing. The brisket was a bit tough and had to be eaten with the side dishes or else was too dry. The buffalo wings were great with the ranch but the buffalo sauce was a tiny bit overpowering. The devilled eggs and nuts didn't make too much sense with the menu and weren't too special. The kransky, pork, chips and cornbread were the best parts. Coleslaw was boring and had no significant flavour. Overall good vibes for the experience.

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.

I don't think I had an ordinary visit when I went on a Sunday night. Not long after we sat down, we placed our order, menu slightly misleading, as what you see is per person serve, but you need to purchase double that, as that's the minium to get the full Fancy Hank's experience. Basically, the wings, deviled eggs nuts arrived 15 minutes after we first ordered, which was fine, thought it would be staggered, we were hungry so went through it in no time, we waited, waited, and asked twice about the rest of the food, which we were just told "there is a hold up in the kitchen", I wouldn't call it peak hour for the restaurant at 4:45pm. About an hour after we first got there, the rest of the food came out, the meats and the carbs, by that time, we didn't really feel hungry, as it was a long wait in-between food, our stomachs seemed satisfied. Due to the price, we forced it down, when it came out, the meats weren't warm, so they must've been sitting there while waiting for something else to be ready. Staff didn't offer a drink or anything apart from "sorry about the wait", overall quite disappointing and a lacklustre experience. The meats with the sauce, pickles and pickled onion was delicious, the cornbread was the standout. Food was fantastic when it came out, the reason for the three stars was the wait in between meals.

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 😅)

Came here for weeknight dinner and overall I’d say it was queue average. The flavours in the food weren’t always there and the brisket in particular was lukewarm. We didn’t feel it was worth the price paid.

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! ❄️

honestly was really looking forward to trying this place but was pretty disappointed by the meat here. not sure if it was just because we went towards the later afternoon that the quality was a bit worse?
ordered a brisket plate and pulled pork (sandwich, since they ran out of pulled pork plates) - the brisket was pretty dry, it had a good smoky flavour though. nothing really stood out about the pork but it wasn't bad, was alright to eat with the fries and slaw. the highlight of the meal was the fries though, so crispy and had nice seasoning
so if anything definitely try the fries :)
the service was great though!

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!
