We were disappointed in some of the food. They changed their French fries which were great before and now they are soggy and tasted terrible. The server was very good though. However due to the fries we will consider other restaurants before dining at Hackney's again.

The reuben egg rolls are a great appetizer. Wide variety of food choices. Love the atmosphere and the staff is very friendly.

Service was terrible. Five different people came to deliver our onion loaf to our table last night. We only ordered one order there must've been some confusion. Also, our waitress did not know how to split the bill and ended up charging us for our table and the table next-door. Manager came out to fix it and never reappeared. We had to leave because we had theater tickets. We were there for almost 2 hours due to their mistakes.Very disappointed.

Badly cooked burger in a stale bun and one of us did not get Cole slaw and both didn't get a pickle. Fries were good as well as the onion loaf.

40 years of eating hackneys - the burger and the onion straws are worth every penny . The cocktails and fries were worth every penny too

We ate at Hackney's on the Lake for the first time in 50 years! It hasn't changed. This was always a big treat if we ate here when I was a kid. The hamburgers are amazing and the onion ring stack did not disappoint. Our waitress was so nice, and very attentive. I would definitely go back the next time I am in town!

It's very nice ? there. Seeded right away, and treated right away no waiting at all I love that, asked if you wanted any drinks ??, appetizers before your meal.

Parking: You can call ? to make reservations ahead ? or when you get there you may have to wait but usually you get a place right away. They also have some games in a nother room when you are wanting to get seated

Their burgers are very special.
Their onion loaf alone is worth the visit.
Very friendly and accommodating wait staff.
Another must visit.

When we arrived we were offered the option to sit inside or outside, and the hostess told us that we'd get better service outside. She was right on the money: our server was friendly, funny, and attentive. My wife said in the history of going to all the Hackney's locations, this was the first time her burger was cooked perfectly. They've always been close, but on this night she expressly said “perfectly”. The ambiance was wonderful, and everything met (possibly surpassed) my expectations.

Haven’t been in a few years. What a disappointment! Ordered the inside out burger-was just a normal patty with cheese and bacon on top and COLD as was my broccoli. The ranch was never served with our onion loaf. My mother never received her soup-and it was on the bill and had to be taken off. My fiance received the wrong cheese on his patty melt and had little onions when it came out ( we all were half way or more through our meals). My mom’s patty melt also had very little cheese or onion. Brownie came out like soup for my daughter. We spent $125 on sandwiches for 4 people and were MOST disappointed. Doubt we will be back. Sad as used to live the food here.

Always love our visits to Hackney's! The food is consistently excellent, the staff are friendly and outgoing and always ready to make a recommendation or work with a customer to customize their order.

Terrific. Great food. Great service. We were there with out of town friends and were seated at the perfect table. The server took wonderful care of us. And the onion loaves and burgers were as good as ever.
