The line to order may be long at times, but it is clear and orderly. I love that they have indoor seating, outdoor seating, picnic areas under shelters, a dog park, and playground. 🛝”

“It must be a night "off". I ordered a small lasagna with an extra slice of garlic bread. Upon opening, the lasagna was deconstructed. the sauce was amazing but chunky! The meal was luke warm and tasted microwaved. I'll try again because the sauce is so good. *Sidenote* I was told 5 p.m. so the driver who came back from delivery took my name. The young woman was so friendly when she came out! Unless it had been sitting 15 minutes, it shouldn't have been luke warm with hard cheese. I recommend a second try but not sure when. There are many places with hot, fresh lasagna.”

“Went with my friend, was very lovely in there! A tad smaller of a bar then I thought but it made up for it in lovely customer service and jusg overall atmosphere. What i assume to be the regular customers were also lovely, will come again!”

“I very much enjoy their lotus energy drinks. they have a base lotus energy drink that they add into several different concoctions. some of them are seasonal. some of them they have all the time. every single one that I've tried has been absolutely delicious. so if you're not in the mood for coffee or ice cream, this is a great alternative. as a person who's tried a hundred plus energy drinks from not only the US but other countries as well. I can say with a high amount of confidence that it is a unique energy drink and gives you quite the boost that you need to get through your day. highly recommend! I've never had a bad experience at the wire loon. their staff is always very knowledgeable is quick to recommend things if you don't know what you want and treats us with the kindness and respect that anybody deserves. I cannot say enough good things about this business.”

“Stopped for the first time today to grab lunch. It was ready quickly and everything was delicious! We will be back again soon!”

“My wife and I were in Clouqet for a couple of days and found this gem! We eat at a lot of restaurants and this place hands down has been one of our best experiences, the two waitresses and female bartender were the kindest people you ever want to run into!! The food was outstanding, I had the grilled chicken fajita salad and the wifey had a chicken sandwich with slaw and they could not of done a better job! It was so good. My wife and I came back that evening for dinner and we both got the chicken fajita salad which was equally as good as the salad that I had for lunch. Huge kudos for this place and the wonderful people who work there. Thank you very much for a great experience. We will certainly be back again.”

“Great food, staff and owners. Great atmosphere for indoor and outdoor eating and live music!!!”

“I really wanted oysters and saw Hank’s and decided to try it. Hank’s did not disappoint. We got a dozen raw. They were delicious. We also had their fried pickles….Spears with the best breading ever and the aioli dipping sauce for them was amazing. I had a vanilla hazelnut martini and my husband had the peach Arnold Palmer. Both drinks were fantastic. I order the shrimp platter. The breading was also very good and their fries are seasoned perfectly. My husband order fish and chips and it was very crispy beer batter outside and flaky goodness on the inside. It was a great night out. 💯recommend!”

“I was looking for some prepped meal options that are tasty and healthy…I think I’ve found it. We tried some of the big national brands as a busy couple without a ton of time to make meals. They were all fine for a while, but to be honest they never tasted great. We were between meal prep companies, and we got a recommendation for Individual Nutrition, so we went for it! Their meals were super varied, which was great. We went with all the gluten free options, because we’re that kind of household. They were great. Tasty protein bowls, great porketta and some fun apple protein pancakes! We ate and enjoyed all of them and it looks like their menu continues to expand with more options. I’ve heard rave reviews about their smoothies but haven’t tried them yet. They were easy to work with, the meals came as promised and in great shape, and they have been super fast to respond to any questions I’ve asked along the way. I’d highly recommend them, and we will certainly continue to order to make our lives easier while knowing we’re eating something healthy that actually tastes good!!”
