Took over an hour one way to get here, and it was way worth it. The food was great, so many desserts I couldn't try them all. The service was awesome they always kept our table clear of plates, and my soda was always full.Inside the restaurant is only one part of the atmosphere. I'm sure later in the year when the pond and water fountains are going, the outside will be amazing. I think I counted about 6 peacocks walking around.I think the store outside is permanently closed but they have a few things you can buy in the restaurant. Would have been nice to come here when the store was open.I'll definitely be going back in a few months to see everything in full bloom around the restaurant and having another great meal.

I ordered the chopped steak, overall it was not up to what I have experienced in past visits at Hanks. Our service was excellent.

It was a very pleasant surprise to visit this place. The atmosphere is warm, traditional and very pleasant to share a meal in peace and tranquility. The attention was good. The salad bar is very well stocked. The dishes were very well served (I loved the fish-shaped plate). The only observation is that they served me the order in parts and in the end I didn't finish eating the last one.

Wish I could rank higher. Went for brunch. Food was tasteless and some very salty. Buffet should only be one side instead of people reaching for over the buffet to the other side. No half and half for coffee.. just some CofeeMate non-dairy creamer. Overall, restaurant looks really neat (old barn, very rustic) but food was so bland and seemed like it was just add water and salt. Not good quality.

A wonderful Sunday brunch. There is a wide assortment of breakfast meats, all prepared to be juicy and fresh. Salads, potatoes, eggs are also represented. A huge table of desserts awaits you at the end of your meal. Coffee and tea come with the meal, cocktails and mimosa flights are extra and highly recommended. The price for a regular Sunday is very reasonable and the service is great.

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.

Food was very dry and in small portions. Chicken had waa no tender but had lots of flavor. Salmon was a small portion and had little sauce on it. Our server messed up our drinks,and brought the wrong appetizer to us. Lightly is nice , the space is comfortable and give you farm house feel.
