The waitresses were very friendly and was doing a great job even though the place was packed.You walk into a little place and it's busy, you know they must be doing something right.“

“We have eaten at Hank’s farm several times since moving here last July.The staff is very accommodating and very friendly. The interior is an authentic old barn with stained glass hanging lamps and beautiful wood decor. It is quite cozy and the noise level is comfortable.The salad bar has a wonderful selection including various home baked breads and a larger than life round of cheddar cheese for carving. One thing I really enjoy is that the lettuce is mixed spring greens plus iceberg lettuce, where as most other restaurants inthe area only serve iceberg.We have tried various dishes such as steak, seafood, pastas. All were consistently delicious, not salty and large portions. Dessert was lovely as well.If you leave Hank’s hungry, you didn’t visit Hank’s!Take your special someone or family for an enjoyable evening.“

“I think this is my only perfect review. This restaurant is amazing, it is a breakfast place and they do close at 1pm. Which is a TAD bit of a bummer. The food is always delicious and comes quickly, service is always 10/10.I love this specific restaurant because of one of the waitresses, she's waited on FOUR generations (possibly 5) of my family, she's seen my mother and ny grandmother grow up, and she's seen me grow up. I don't even know if she realizes who I am, but she's so polite, a treasure, and she always has on the MOST beautiful jewelry sets!If you pick this restaurant, be prepared to make it your favorite, between the food, the atmosphere, and the staff you'll never want to leave. And if you want a good soup recommendation, get the beef and vegetables it's absolutely DIVINE!(Plus the bathrooms are clean and always have TP)Edit: my mom confirmed Miss Nancy has waited on FIVE generations of my family! Myself being the 5th ?It all started many years ago when my great great grandmother Delores Angel, and ONLY miss Nancy could get her poached eggs right.“

“Great for breakfast (served all day) or lunch. Food was tasty, plentiful, and pleasing to the eye. The service was prompt and pleasant. Great place for soup and sandwich, as well as about anything you can think of for breakfast. I had the Firehouse Burger. I asked for medium and it had no pink inside, but was still delicious. Several in our party had either the broccoli soup-of-the-day or the chicken noodle. Both souls were hearty with good flavor. The Fries were double fried with a delicious crunch and the onion rings were also good.“

“We go here quite often in the summer. We live near Chicago but spend many weekends in Ottawa for the river and friends. I actually dream about the Buffalo chicken dip at captains cove during the drive down. It’s often our first stop after we drop the dogs at the boat. It is the best BCD I’ve ever had. Sometimes it’s sold out by the time we get there, it’s THAT good! They have great deals on drinks and the rest of the menu is really yummy. The bartenders are awesome, we have ended up getting to know the family that owns the place and they’re all so kind and love being able to serve delicious food and beverages to their friends and customers. We truly love captains cove and look forward to many more years of great buff chicken dip and giggles!“

“Ordered a blue cheese burger, no bun with garden on the side. Perfect. Food is better than average for a sports bar. Suggestions APPEAR to be taken seriously. Skakers appears to be getting better with the food/service. Only one BIG problem to the families who bring in small children. KEEP THEM ON A LEASH. I'm tired of going to restaurants and sports bars with kids running all over, and there scumbag parents think this is acceptable. The workers won't, I mean can't say anything for fear of a KAREN/DAREN coming unhinged.“
