Our first thought anytime we go to Hank’s is always, “Our dads would love this place.” This classic spot in Ansonborough has the dark wood paneling, worn leather booths, and veteran servers that he’ll eventually email all of his golf buddies about. Also, the food is great, with the seafood towers and platters being two of our favorite dishes to share. Entree-wise, go for the sautéed flounder, seafood a la Wando, or lobster, and if you want something not from the ocean instead, their fried chicken is also some of the best in town.
