I was surprised to find this place deserted on a Saturday evening. A mixed experience overall but would be happy to go back to try on another day.
Some of the dishes were fantastic, with the loaded tater tots being a highlight. A great mix of flavours and incredibly moreish. The burger was also satisfying and did a great emulation of a fast food experience. The hot dog was a let down, however, with a stale bun and fairly bland kimchi. The menu had many interesting options to chose from.
The service was not good. The sound system was left blaring static for about 10 minutes while the staff disappeared. When they came back to fix it there was no apology or acknowledgement that it had made an unpleasant end to the meal. As the only customer in the restaurant I would expect better than that.
I am happy to support a vegan restaurant and hope my experience is not representative of the general experience so would still be happy to return.
I had a a Ratatouille moment eating the buffalo burger. The chicken and ribs I have had as a vegan have always aired on caution and tried to be breaded healthy and baked. These were crispy charred coated in sauce and bread crumb it reminded me of the chicken shops after a pub as a teen a thing I haven't even realised I was missing. It was gluten free, wasn't too heavy. Loved it Elora was a lovely very attentive extremely funny server
Hank's is a must visit if you come to Ipswich! I've been numerous times I've lost count, but most recently visited to try the Autumn Taster Menu! And my word, it did not disappoint. I had a lovely three course meal and each dish was beautifully presented and tasted unbelievable!
On the evening we went we were looked after by the amazing Elora. She was fantastic, friendly, welcoming and attentive. Could not fault the service or the amazing food! Can't wait to go back.
