I just finished a 12 hour shift and decided to sit outside on their patio to Waite for my ride next thing I know security approached me and asks me to leave! I went inside and asked hey do I need to buy something to sit here I’m waiting on my ride she said yes and that the owner was here it’s not her it’s the owner! I was so embarrassed if it was the owner why didn’t he just approach me himself instead of calling security I will never spend my money here the place was empty as well it’s not like I was taking up space!

I picked up a late lunch today on 6/27 and the girl that was working the cashier was so nice and accommodating - I wish I would of gotten her name! Normally I get the guy that seems to be there all the time during the day and he's not very friendly or welcoming. The food is always fantastic but you definitely need more customer service oriented employees like today.

Walked in and told the person at the cashier that it was my first time there. Found out later that it was one of the owners, Jake. He proceeded to tell me of the offerings.I really love spicy things but avoid the oil. Though he told me how the chicken was cooked I decided to pass on spicy chicken today.I decided on the chicken and waffles and "BOY!!!" I was not disappointed, the chicken was PERFECT!!! Not oily at all. CrUnChY!! "Yes!!!"The service was fast.Will be returning for something hot.

Oh man this is an awesome placeChicken? Bomb.Sides? Mac and cheese and tots - both UH-mazing.Service? Super friendly The best part? They are opening a tap room.Portions are large, so don't worry about spending a bit ($12) on the sandwich-- one will fill you up (unlike a certain fast food chain I could mention)"Happy hour" gets you a combo for the same price (tater tots and a soda? For FREE? Hollaaaaa)

Amazing! Got the Nasty Nash sandwich (Hankys Hot) with Mac and Cheese and coke. Kids got the chicken tenders. It's a cute place located kinda on the corner. Guy at the counter was helpful, place is clean with plenty of tables inside and out. Oh man, the sandwich is HUGE! Good luck eating it. Haha. 3 pieces of toast, juicy chicken with great favor & crunchy outside. If you eat really spicy food, get the Hankys hot, it's slightly spicy. Mac and Cheese was delicious, good flavor & cooked well. Kids loved the chicken tenders. Would go back but it's over an hour away from me.

Yo i don't know how I didn't like this place before. But I've ordered delivery fromThem twice and their food is fire. When it comes to chicken, and spice , you gotta make sure the food isActually spicy but edible. ThesePeople do a great job! The hanky's hot will make you sweat!! So will the regular hot. Salad is legit. The burger was like 7/10 - but it's a competitive area. Don't sleep on this.

The chicken is tasty and nicely prepared. The sandwiches are pretty big too. I ordered a medium heat Nashville style sandwich and I enjoyed it! I liked the coleslaw in the sandwich. The tots are also great! Nicely crunchy on the outside. I would probably get hot next time as medium wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be. I'll try out the other items next time!

I had the hottest chicken possible and it was pretty intense going down . I hope this place makes a cookie or brownie or Blondie available. We need a sweet thing to eat and only milk shakes are available. If your lactose intolerant you might have to drink that shake to cool your mouth off and then it's 2 days of Doom and agony and despair.

If you're looking for a solid contender in the war of the chicken sandwich, look no further than Hanky's Hot Chicken. Located in Torrance in the pinnacle of the parking lot of the AMC 20, Islands, Bed, Bath and Beyond center, Hanky's deserves your attention. The sandwiches are rock solid... with two variations ( Original and Nashville ) and five levels of heat. The ingredients are fresh and crisp and provide the perfect level of contrast to the heat of the chicken. Tenders. The tenders are exactly that. Tender, juicy, and bursting with heat and flavor. Again, five levels of heat and you can combos w three or more in the box w fries or my favorite-tots!You can get the fries and tots "loaded" topped w chicken and cheese and fire roasted corn and black beans...fire. I opted for the salad which was HUGE! Tossed greens w chopped chicken tenders, cojita cheese, tomatoes, cilantro salad dressing and that roasted corn black bean mix and it was banging good. If you are looking for a new/er hot chicken place soon to add beer taps... go to Hanky's-eat hot chicken!

The is my new Rosco's..., I ordered the chicken and Belgium waffle (medium hot) you get 3 Tenders with a waffle... along with The Comback sauce OMG OMG!I also had to try the Tater Tots all the kids would love these along with the ranch sauce... The fried pickle chips are amazing with the ranch dip for all your pickle lovers... The bomb The place is right next to the movie theater nice and quaint.. and I hear this place is Changing its name to be like a brewery and I can't wait to have some beer.. hope they add some music.. The service was fast I was able to order on the phone while in route and you can pay with Cash or credit... you gotta stop by!
If you cant take the heat start low and then next trip back go up. Dont start at hot because i could not feel my lips. LOL I recomend the Nasty Nash.

We were driving around looking for someplace new for dinner and found Hanky's... Simply put it's great!!!It's not just another "hot chicken place". Their menu centers mostly on chicken sure and they do have the "pick your heat level" thing. But they also have Smash Burgers, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Breakfast Burritos & Tacos :) Here's what we ordered: - Single Smash Burger w/ Bacon: 5-Stars This was mine and it was great, cooked perfectly & fresh ingredients. - Grilled cheese w/ Hot Chicken: 5-Stars My sons choice and it looked so good I had to have a bite, tasted even better. - Loaded Tots: 5-Stars Tatter Tots over fries for me every time! We shared this and good thing because it was huge! The Mac n Cheese on them was genius!! - Strawberry Milk Shake: 5-Stars This was all mine and it was sooooo good, rich & creamy and not too thick, just right.The guy working the counter was super friendly and helpful. He and the cook were having a good time which made the experience that much better.I'm not sure how long they have been there but the place was spotless and it is located in the middle of a large shopping center so there is plenty of parking.

I ordered the "Nasty Nash" in medium to check spicy levels tho I wish I picked hot:/ and was absolutely rocked by the sandwich by itself. Mac n' cheese (and I mean oozing) American Cheese stuffed between 2 bottom Texas toasts. Fried chicken topped with slaw, pickles and comeback sauce topped with another 2 toasts. A tall monster of a sando! A little notice would have been cool regarding size(I regretted ordering tots and Mac as sides the sandwich was enough of a meal) but in total I still at the tots too but I legit had to lose the belt in the car. Overall it's a great sandy. Very crunchy and juicy but not "wet" and the toppings completely made it. I would legit come back but I'm getting lettuce wrapped and a level of hot higher next time

Awesome place! Great food, super nice staff. Parking is easy. I went with the "hot" and it had great flavor, excited to try the Hankys Hot next time! Sandwichs are huge and the loaded fries can feed 3 people! I got the mac and cheese on the side of the loaded fries, made it easier to eat and get a variety of flavors in each bite! Support local busiensses!

My husband and I have been coming here since they opened! Happy every time! Definitely better if you eat it fresh, but good either way! Nashville sandwich is great. I do original (no spice) Smash burger is good! Fried pickles are great!
