    Amazing for our Wedding!

    Hank’s catered my wedding on May 2nd, and we couldn’t have been happier! The planning process was seamless thanks to Sabrina, the catering crew was punctual and professional, and best of all, the food was absolutely delicious! They were very flexible when we wanted to edit the cocktail hour appetizers, and it worked out perfectly. We did the buffet, and everything was a hit (the pulled pork and mac n cheese was my favorite). I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to have the yummiest (and reasonably priced) food at their wedding!

    Phenomenal Food, Options, and Service!

    Hank's was absolutely phenomenal in every way, and we were ecstatic to get to choose a great local option! Their food is delicious, and the tasting experience was amazing. There are so many different options and tiers, so you're really able to choose a selection and pallet that suits your needs, preferences, and dietary needs. They have great cocktail hour options, whether you want a cheese & fruit platter or something more extensive and fancy. They also have bartenders you can use to either serve drinks you buy or ones they provide, depending on your need. There are options for limited-quantity vegetarian/vegan meals if only a sub-portion of your guests require that. And you can also rent plates/cutlery directly through them. And finally, they're so easy to work with and very clear about exactly what you're getting and will suggest changes based on your needs, your budget, or other factors. We knew we wanted our catering to be a highlight of the wedding, and it was!

    Absolutely delicious and professional service

    Hank's BBQ catered our wedding for 80 people in a barn venue and they were incredible. The food was amazing and we and our guests were stuffed. We had whiskey BBQ chicken, pulled pork, loaded baked potato salad (a must), mac and cheese, rolls, and salad and there are BBQ portobello mushrooms by the pan for vegetarians. We were very impressed with the professionalism of the catering staff the day of the wedding (servers to clear, manage, the buffet, and a for-hire bartender). Sabrina, the catering manager, was very easy to work with.

    It was very affordable for 80 people. BUDGET HACK: they include place settings, cups, and dessert settings FOR FREE and an option is bamboo was very sturdy for the mountain of BBQ your guests are about to eat and looked great in photos. This is a steal of a deal!

    Hank's is amazing!

    Going into wedding planning, the only food I knew I didn't want was BBQ, so I overlooked Hank's initially. I was getting so frustrated with the pricing options that I was REALLY close to just getting sandwich platters from a local deli. Then our baker, Buttercream Dreams, actually recommended Hank's - their pricing is super reasonable, especially with the crazy wedding markups, and they have more than just BBQ. We did a tasting, and it was lovely - the food was all amazing, and they sat down with us and listened to our needs. Very accommodating for allergies and diet restrictions. They have options for plated dinners, buffet, and food truck - we did the buffet! It also included a cheese and veggie platter and drink station. We used their bartender as well, though we provided the alcohol, and they were great at following the instructions for the specialty drinks my husband came up with. On the day of, they were timely, set up and broke down quickly (they were very familiar with the venue, a huge plus). The catering staff were SO nice to us - I didn't realize how important that would be but they went out of their way to be just kind human beings and that made the night even more perfect. They even made sure we got the cherry preserves on our cake slices that we wanted, and that they were on the right cake flavors! Which is a truly random request. We will definitely be stopping by their restaurant again in the future! We got so much for the price and cannot recommend them more.

    A great experience in every aspect!

    Hank's catered our wedding in June 2022, and we could not have been happier with that decision! Sabrina was extremely helpful the whole way through, and working with her made everything food related go so smoothly. We purchased their bar package as well and couldn't have been more happy with how seems everything worked with the food and drink. We received so many complements from guests about how good the food was, and the amazing service staff was so kind and professional. Definitely a top-tier catering company!

    Great BBQ and vegetarian options

    Hank's catered our Stanley, VA wedding and was great from start to finish. They answered our many questions on building the menu that fit our event. They put together a delicious tasting and were honest with us when we had gotten a bit over ambitious with the amount of food. And they accommodated a late night snack and having staff stay to clean up. The food was absolutely delicious and got rave reviews from the attendees. In particular, we were very happy with the vegetarian jambalaya, one of a number of great vegetarian options from this BBQ joint. The pork was also delicious, the sides were great, and the bar package was affordable and fun to put together. Would highly recommend them for your wedding!

    Delicious food. Great to work with

    Hanks was so delicious and so easy to work with. We had to change our date a few times due to COVID, and Sabrina was so accommodating and kind. The food was delicious and even our professional chef friends were impressed. The staff was professional, timely, and helpful. We would highly recommend Hanks for your big day!

    Best BBQ Hand's Down!

    Hank's is not only wonderful to work with, but the food is absolutely to die for. We still get comments about how amazing the food was, especially the brisket. You want to keep your guests well fed and Hank's is the best to do it. Sabrina was super easy to communicate with and we never had to worry about her getting back to us. Everything was quick and seamless. They offered us a wide range of food for anyone with an allergy and they even let us come do the tasting before we signed the contract which clearly sealed the deal. We also needed to find a bartender and Hank's was happy let us use a bartender for our venue as well. So overall, food is tasty, easy to work with, and very affordable for a wedding. They do it all!

    Outstanding Wedding Caterer!

    Hank’s catered our daughter’s wedding in Harrisonburg, VA in late September, 2021. They were a pleasure to work with, provided delicious food and worked well with other vendors to make everything run smoothly. Both the appetizers and the dinner buffet were displayed attractively and many guests commented that they thought the food was excellent! Hank’s also provided bartending and the bartender was great! We highly recommend Hank’s!

    Delicious!!!

    Hank's provided catering services for our wedding reception and everything was wonderful. The process working with Sabrina was extremely easy -- from the quote, tasting, to day of. We also had to postpone our wedding due to COVID 2x and Hank's was very understanding and accommodating. It was great to feel no stress about the caterer/food throughout the very long planning process. Finally the day came, and everything went smoothly! The service was great (shout out to April our bartender who was the best!) and the food was delicious. Our guests were going back for seconds and thirds and we still had a ton of leftover food to take home the next day. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu but do not miss out on their baked beans! so good. Oh and the key lime pie tarts..... Also, even though Hank's does BBQ; they do offer vegetarian and gluten-free options to ensure all guests are covered. Highly recommend.

    Delicious Food

    Both the food and service were wonderful on our wedding day. They were a pleasure to communicate and work with. We had BBQ style food and everyone thought it was absolutely delicious. There were also special accommodations made for those with food intolerances. Guests still can’t get over how delicious the food was. Definitely recommend Hank’s catering!

    Excellent Food and Service for our Wedding Reception

    We hired Hank's for our the food and bartender services for our wedding reception. From the moment I contacted Hank's their professionalism and quick response time could not be beat. We choose their Southwest Bar buffet for our dinner with a salsa bar appetizer table. The food was outstanding! And the layout of the table was beautiful! We choose to use plastic tableware for the tables and it looked beautiful! We received so much comments from our guests on how good the food was. The staff constantly checked on our guests and cleared the tables. The bartender was efficient and there was never a line. The staff packed up the food and bar for us, which was a huge plus for us. I highly recommend Hank's to cater your next event or wedding!

    Delicious Food and Five Star Service

    We used Hank's Catering for our May 15 wedding. Booking their catering services was an easy process and so was selecting our menu. We are so grateful for them working with us through our postponement due to COVID-19, and scheduling our new date with no extra fees. Sabrina and Team were a delight to work with leading up to and on the day of, we didn't have to worry about a thing! After dinner was served, they packaged all of the leftovers for us to take and continue to enjoy after the reception. We will recommend Hank's over and over again!

    You can't go wrong with any of their food options. Definitely choose their Juniper Chicken, it's absolutely delicious.

    We're looking forward to visiting Hank's Grille soon for more tasty cuisine!

    Hanks was a hit!

    I cannot possible say enough good things about Hanks in this little blurb. First of all, their service, responsiveness, communication, and value for what you get is unmatched. I had an unsettling experience with a different catering vendor prior, and the Hanks team was just absolutely amazing. Secondly, their food was just outstanding. As the Bride, I throughly enjoyed my meal and I know our guests did as well. They have a variety of options and everything tasted great. When it comes to a wedding, food is important. You are spending a lot of money to serve your nearest and dearest and at the end of the day you want it to taste good and have plenty of options for all to enjoy. We ordered BBQ, but they also had many sides to choose from for vegetarian options, in addition to gluten free. Food was hot, flavorful, and at the end of the day exactly what we were looking for. We also had them do cocktail hour and desserts (not the cake but other desserts) and those were equally delicious! And the Bar package, let me just say the bar tender was unmatched in customer service and the signature drinks we had are still being talked about and I am sure will be talked about for years to come. Our guests had a great time, and she was quick and efficient with serving.

    I cannot say enough about their customer service. They were a JOY to work with, and Sabrina was just outstanding. Planning a COVID wedding is stressful to say the least, and their understanding made everything that much easier.

    Furthermore, somewhere in the planning, I needed to add a Sunday Brunch. I asked Hank's if they had the ability to do so and they did! Brunch was ALSO amazing! I'm not sure how they do it all, from BBQ to drinks to breakfast, but let me tell you they are the ones to hire if you want something that tastes good and want to have you guests happy. And at the end of the day they were more than cost effective. We were the happiest couple that they were apart of our day. Thanks!

    Best Bang for your Buck!!

    We actually didn't have the opportunity to work with Hank's on our wedding day. Due to the pandemic, we opted to cancel our October 2020 wedding date at our venue and do a small backyard wedding instead. However, our experience with Hank's was awesome!

    We made an appointment to try their food and plan our menu. Sabrina, the brand manager, was very professional and guided us through our options. I am pretty picky about barbecue. However, the food was delicious and because they had worked with our venue before, she could walk us through how the day would go. She was also able to give money saving suggestions to help us along the way!

    We looked at A LOT of caterers. No one could match Hank's pricing. They also had the smallest deposit out of all of our vendors, and they were the only vendor to give us any of our deposit back when we canceled our wedding date. I hope to find a way to work with them in the future!!

    We love Hank's!

    Hank’s does a wonderful job with their catering! Sabrina was organized and readily available to answer any questions from our initial tasting right up until the week of the wedding. The catering crew on our wedding day worked efficiently and provided a great meal to our guests. The food was delicious! We would highly recommend working with Hank’s - they are a staple in the Shenandoah Valley and we were able to easily see why so many people choose them to provide the food for their events.

    An amazing meal & experience despite our Covid changes

    We hired Hank's as our caterer for our destination wedding from PA to VA. We had such a great time at our tasting & everything was delicious! My fiance could not stop talking about their two different briskets! We worked with Sabrina throughout. She was always so friendly & responsive! Mid-pandemic, we decided to change our wedding to a small ceremony with a nice dinner for the 2 of us. Sabrina was very happy to accommodate us. She created an awesome menu. After our ceremony our dinner was delivered & plated for us by the chef! Our food was amazing! What a fantastic experience!

    Wedding Caterer

    Hank's did an amazing job catering my wedding - everyone absolutely loved the food. Sabrina was so helpful throughout the entire process, from taste testing to answering all of my ridiculous questions. I definitely recommend Hank's for any event or even if you just wanted to stop in for some good food!

    Outstanding!

    There are so many great things we want to share about Hank’s. The food offerings are all fantastic and the only challenge we had with them was narrowing down what we wanted to include in our catering selection. All members of the staff that we worked with were professional and courteous. The planning team was excellent and always answered our questions in a timeline manner. More importantly, the staff of servers and bartenders Hank’s provided were all fantastic. They were very accommodating to all of our guests and worked to help us bring all of our wedding day plans to fruition. We will be telling all of our friends in the area to seriously consider using Hank’s for any catering event going forward. For delicious food and all-star service at a fair price, look no further than Hank’s Catering.

    The BEST wedding BBQ !!!

    Hank’s did an awesome job with our September wedding! We had happy hour appetizers, a dinner buffet with pulled pork and brisket and cake cutting through them! The plate-wear they provided was beautiful and it went so beautifully with our decorations! The brisket was to die for!! And they boxed up the left overs that we got to enjoy later that night and the next day!
    The staff were friendly and leading up to the event Matt and Sabrina were so great at answering every question!
    Thank you all for helping us have the most magical day!

    Don't sleep on Hank's!!

    Hank's did an absolutely FABULOUS job catering our wedding. They did cocktail hour, bartending and our buffet. The food was outstanding and plentiful, the service was excellent, the bartenders were so on top of everything, and the value of it all was unbeatable. Special shoutout out to bar manager/mixologist Krystina for taking the time to meet with us beforehand to come up with the PERFECT signature drink (Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade, highly recommend her variation!!).. our guests could not get enough. Thank you to Matt, Sabrina, Kryssy & all of the other Hank's staff who made our day perfect (and delicious)!!

    Amazing food

    Hank’s was a huge hit at the wedding. The food was divine. My husband and I are now eating leftovers and loving it.
    Matt at Hank’s was always extremely responsive and a great resource. If you’re unsure, I definitely recommend just going to Hank’s and trying their food. you won’t be disappointed

    Professional and delicious

    We planned our Wedding from out of town and made the decision to go with Hanks after having a tasting and meeting with their Catering manager. Matt was quick to answer all of my many questions. We decided to change our style of reception to something outside of their normal catering packages and they were open to the idea and made it happen without question.

    Being out of town I had lots of emails with questions and Matt & Sabrina always answered quickly. While I didn’t eat or see much of what was actually happening at the wedding, all of our guests commented on how good the food was. I don’t remember ever seeing a dirty glass or plate on a table.

    I would highly recommend Hanks to anyone needing offsite catering. They have a great menu selection and are true professionals.

    This was an excellent choice for our wedding meal! They were right on time, our food was hot and delicious. All of our guests really enjoyed their meal and we all had good size servings as well. The mashed potatoes and collard greens are to die for!

    Best BBQ in the Shenandoah!

    Hank's did a wonderful job catering our wedding at Hermitage Hill. They were so helpful in the build-up to our wedding. We made multiple changes in the months leading up to the wedding, but they never complained. They were patient and understanding! Their food was spectacular and their staff was friendly and attentive. We still get compliments on their BBQ! We cannot thank them enough for all of their help and making sure that the food on our wedding day was delicious.

    Hank's catered our wedding two weekends ago and did a FANTASTIC job!! The food was amazing (we got tons of compliments), and the staff was beyond wonderful - friendly, professional, and enthusiastic. We had never met them before, but were so happy to have them there as part of our special day! Can't recommend these guys enough!!

    Hanks provided the food for our wedding 9-29-18. Our guest loved it. We got so many complements on the BBQ and chicken breast. The new potatoes were just loved. The portion provided assured our guests got plenty. And the price was under our budgeted cost. All in all, for my bride and I Hanks did hit a home run!!!

    Hanks was great to work with. The manager, Matt, was very responsive and pleasant, even when we made changes. We ordered place settings through them and they set them up with the napkins we supplied and everything looked beautiful. They also provided bartending services (but allowed us to purchase our own alcohol, saving us some money). They accommodated our speciality (kind of complicated) cocktails and were very friendly. They have many different options but we did the BBQ buffet. Even though it was BBQ, their most affordable option, the presentation was beautiful. The guests loved the food. Even the grilled chicken served buffet-style was moist and delicious.

    Hank's did a wonderful job catering our wedding at Cross Keys Barn! We used them for our reception food, as well as cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres and bartending services! The food was delicious and overall presentation was spot on! The staff was so wonderful and kind and very attentive and helpful. Our bartender went out of his way to make our guests happy. He even cut up fruit for our signature drink garnish that I had planned on not including since I didn't have time to cut it myself! Talk about going above and beyond! Matt was super helpful from start to finish in the planning process and communication with Hank's was always prompt and professional. Thank you all so much for doing such a great job! We highly recommend Hank's for your wedding catering needs!

    Hank's catered our wedding on March 24th, 2018 at Stover Hall. They came highly recommended by the venue owners and I was relieved to use a vendor so familiar with our venue. The food was fantastic - I highly recommend the beef brisket! Hank's was very accommodating to us in making our menu personalize and outside of the typical wedding package. Our guests loved the food selection. The staff was very attentive at the bar, buffet and in the dining area. I was so incredibly impressed by the service and how great the food was. I would highly recommend them to cater as well as a great restaurant to eat at!

The whole process from inquiry to taste testing to our wedding day services was absolutely tremendous! So affordable and the quality of food was out of this world! My guest are still talking about how amazing the food was from our Sept. 10th wedding. I highly recommend them! Thank you Matt and our servers for making our wedding day absolutely wonderful! Blessings!

    Hank's is top-notch barbecue & service at amazingly reasonable prices! Our wedding included appetizers (both passed and a tray), a buffet of marinated chicken, brisket, salad, and sides, and a tea & lemonade station. Everything was wonderful and the catering manager, Matt, helped us select the perfect options for our guests. He also didn't try to have us buy more than we needed - suggesting we actually lessen our appetizer number from what we were assuming we'd need because it would be too much! He was right, the apps were perfect and while we did end up having some leftover buffet items (we had a few last minute guests unable to attend) our wedding party couldn't have been happier to have some late-night mac n cheese! The set up looked great and the servers were all very friendly and attentive. We wouldn't hesitate to use Hank's again!

    Our venue coordinator recommended Hank's Smokehouse because of their quality, affordability and familiarity with the venue. They did not disappoint. They were also located less than a mile from The Columns at Six Penny Farm so they made catering easy and their BBQ was very fresh. The catering team was awesome and we hired two bartenders through them to work both the cocktail hour and reception which was a perfect number for 150 guests. You will be hard pressed to find a caterer that is more affordable than Hank's that can deliver the same quality. So many of the guests (many northern traveling from New York) were talking about how awesome the BBQ was. We ordered the pulled pork and marinated chicken which they cut on site straight off the bone. The sides were phenomenal as well, people loved the Mac & Cheese, potatoes and green beans and the tea/lemonade bar were a huge hit. Their catering team was timely, professional and made clean-up easy. If you are looking for awesome BBQ in a buffet style format for your wedding reception, look no further than Hank's!

    Hanks catered our wedding at On Sunny Slope Farm in October. Hanks was very easy to work with from the very beginning. Since we live out of town, the majority of our communication was done via email. Matt was very responsive and worked with us to make sure everything needed was in place. The food was delicious and our guests loved it.

    Hank's provided the food for our wedding. Matt was extremely easy to work with while planning the menu and tasting the food. On the day of the wedding the caterers were flexible, when torrential downpours forced our wedding inside, where they were supposed to be setting up. They patiently waited until the ceremony was over and were gracious throughout the process. Everyone loved the food, and I don't think you can beat the value!

    My husband and I contracted with Hank's to provide our catering for our wedding at the Golden Horseshoe Inn. The staff was very flexible, particularly when an impending Blizzard caused our wedding to be moved up two days to a Thursday night! The food was excellent and arrived fresh and hot to the venue. I would definitely recommend Hank's to any couple looking for a great price on a high quality meal!

They were very professional throughout the whole process by answering all of my questions throughout the planning as well as exciting all of my wishes on the day of the event. I would highly recommend Hanks to everyone thinking of catering a meal.

    We decided to use Hank's after having their food at a friend's wedding. The food was so good that we knew we had found our vendor. Not only was the food just as delicious for our big day, but you cannot beat the price. Matt (the catering manager) is professional and very easy to work with. His crew set up and broke down our event in addition to serving all of the food. You won't be disappointed with this company.

    Hanks did a fantastic job catering our wedding a few weeks ago at Shenandoah Woods. We loved them at the initial meeting/ tasting -- not only was the food fantastic, but they were extremely helpful and honest. They told us things like "we could sell you fancy plates, but it'd be cheaper to just pick up some nice plastic ones at the grocery store" (that's what we did) -- we never felt taken advantage of or misled. And on the day of the wedding, they were total pros -- polite, clean, helpful, and willing to help out in any way. Plus the food was amazing! Just as good as it was when we tasted it in the restaurant, every dish was fantastic (pulled pork, sliced brisket, grilled chicken, mac 'n cheese, mashed potatoes, black eyed pea salad, rolls/bread, iced tea/lemonade) and our guests loved it. They also provided us with veggie lasagnas for the vegetarians. And the price was fantastic. Couldn't recommend Hank's strongly enough!

    I used Hank's for both the food and for a bartender for my wedding. Matt who takes care of the catering services was very responsive and was willing to spend time with me to make my menu exactly how I wanted it to suit my guests for my wedding. The guests all remarked on how good the food was, and for the price (about $10 a head) you can't beat the value!

    I have had Hank's on multiple occasions, both as a guest and as a peer vendor. As a wedding director, I have access to and relationships with a lot of vendors, but they are always one of the top caterers that I recommend! The food is delicious, the service is excellent and the value can't be beat. They are the best, and you will be 100% happy with them... every time! They are so good at what they do and they are consistent, which is important. They were my first and only choice for my own wedding, and my guests really enjoyed the food and service!

    Hank's not only provided the catering for our wedding, they serviced our bar, served our pies, and cleaned up the decorations. They did an amazing job at an amazing price! The food was delicious and they are very professional and were highly responsive to my questions and contract changes before the wedding.

    We used Hank's Smokehouse to cater our wedding at Shenandoah Woods in June 2014. We had eaten at the restaurant before and loved it so we were confident that our guests would love it. We chose the Pork BBQ package and the silver service upgrade, plus a bartender and two extra staff members. The price was fantastic, the service was fantastic, and all of our guests loved the food. Matt was very easy to work with and was always professional, even when we had to redo the headcounts and tweak a few items that we forgot about at the last minute.

    Hank's provided full meals for both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was prompt, the staff was friendly and helpful, constantly helping guests. They were fun and personable!! A "to go" box was prepared for the bride and groom to enjoy after all 260 guests left!! Now that is attention to detail!! Thank you for making a special day absolutely perfect!

    We LOVED our catering from Hank's! Matt, the catering manager, was very helpful and responsive to our many questions. E-mail is the fastest way to communicate which made working with Matt easy for us. Hank's Smokehouse provided the food for our rehearsal dinner and our reception. They were very flexible and met all of our needs. Also, the food is GREAT!!!! We highly recommend Hank's and would definitely use them in the future!

    Hank's Smokehouse really did an amazing job catering our wedding! We were super excited about the menu selection - especially the appetizers. Being from Colorado, we were unable to try the food in advance, but our leap of faith was rewarded with food that our guests could not stop commenting on. I worked with Matt over the phone and through email several times and thought he provided excellent customer service every time. On the day of our wedding, everything was cooked to perfection and presented beautifully and was ready when it was supposed to be. Even the leftovers the next day tasted great. The staff members they provided for service and to tend the bar were friendly and looked very professional. I couldn't say enough to praise them for the absolutely fantastic job that they did for us. I would recommend Hank's Smokehouse to anyone looking for a place with fabulous service and incredibly delicious food that will be remembered!

    This company makes great food. They also provided 2 bartenders, and staff to serve appetizers during the cocktail hour. They did a fantastic job!

    We drove out to Hank's and were provided with a $50 gift card (which was more than enough) to sample whatever we wanted. The food was absolutely delicious. My now husband, who isn't even a fan of barbeque, loved it. Rachel was so wonderful to work with and made everything very easy for us. The service they provided at the wedding was great too. We had a buffet and everything ran very seamlessly.

    We drove to the restaurant and tried their food and loved it! Rachel is the lady who we worked with and she gave us free foods to try! That was so sweet of her! I wanted a fancy but good ol' southern bbq and this was the place. It was so good, and everyone loved it! I had appetizers from different types of salsa stations to lemon cookie bars. I chose grilled chicken, and instead got this decliious, flavorful, fancy with fancier sauces and a chef to explain it to you as you went up to him type of chicken! Much more than I thought...and paid for! We had a tight budget but I got TONS OF GOOD FOOD for a very resonable price! The people who served it were effient, well mannered, and friendly! It was truly a great experience ! Try them out for yourself! :)

    You'll be fighting over who keeps the leftovers!

    My wife and I are wanderlusts from Michigan who yearned for an intimate destination wedding. Our venue was a quaint and historic bed and breakfast located outside Harrisonburg, Virginia – about 10 hours from our home. We sought a non-fussy and tasty caterer for our wedding rehearsal dinner. Our wedding planner suggested Hank's Grille & Catering.

    Sabrina, Hank's Catering Director, was very accommodating and took the time to answer our questions. The remote booking process was a breeze. Thank you for keeping it easy for us, Sabrina!

    Our final menu included Texas brisket, pulled pork, green beans with ham, macaroni and cheese, and assorted dessert bars. Hank's also delivered buns, three types of their signature barbeque sauces, paper plates, plastic utensils for serving and eating, and napkins. Our order arrived on time and hot and was set up for us to enjoy buffet-style at our wedding venue.

    Our group thoroughly enjoyed the fare from Hank's. The mac and cheese might've been the least exciting dish - it was good but could have been better. The crowd favorites were the pulled pork and green beans with ham. They were both wonderfully smokey!

    After dinner, in-depth negotiations ensued about who could take the leftovers home. "Fine, you can have some pulled pork... but I get the rest of this bottle of barbeque sauce!" It's a good sign when your friends and family are fighting to take the leftovers home!

    Hank's Grille & Catering provides tremendous value. Their prices were extremely reasonable for tasty food, generous portions, and courteous staff. Thank you, Hank's!

    terrific food and service

    Hanks was wonderful to work with. The food was absolutely delicious. All of our guests loved it! The staff is awesome and clean up everything afterwards, boxing it up for you. Sadly for us there was no left over Mac and cheese for the next day!
    Our only small complaint was they don't do individual plates. We had two guests there were GF/vegetarian and we had to find an outside restaurant to provide food for them. Otherwise, it was seamless and would recommend to anyone. You truly can't beat the price!

    We booked the Perfect Duo and it was fantastic. The set up looked great, Ben (the carver) was super friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. I highly recommend the mac & cheese! There were a few delays in response from Matt at the beginning of the process, (it was prime wedding season), but after we got the contract signed, it was no problem.

    Matt and his staff did a wonderful job at our wedding in Crozet a few weeks ago!! They were friendly, professional, and arrived in plenty of time to set everything up. The food was awesome, and everyone loved the two bartenders! Also their prices are much more reasonable than other barbeque caterers in the area. They have a nice variety on their catering menu, including plenty of cocktail hour appetizer options. Would definitely recommend them. I think because they are so good, they are also very busy, and it took a few emails for me to get a response at one point- but that is really my only recommendation for improvement. Thank you for everything, you did a fantastic job!

    Hank's was great! The servers and bartender were on top of everything. I had nothing to worry about. The price was so affordable and they pack up the leftovers for you to take home at the end of the night. Everyone loved the food so much that there was barely anything for us to bring home!

    Hank's offers an amazing array of foods, all of which taste phenomenal. My mother and I first went there for lunch, knowing they offer catering services, and one taste of the food, I was sold. They had the best prices I could find too. My mistake was ordering too many plates! Our wedding was a buffet style, and we had to order plates--25 plates of food at over a POUND of food per plate…needless to say, we were eating leftovers for quite some time. But I didn't mind because it was some amazing, home-cooked, southern style food.
    At times, I did have to wait a little longer than I wanted to hear back from the caterer, but we had some phone issues. I got married quickly and had three weeks of planning, so it was at times necessary to get responses. Nonetheless, I relied on them and they came through, and it was a great dining experience thanks to them!
    Would definitely do catering with them again.

    We used Hank's for both our rehearsal dinner (BBQ) and our wedding (Black Tie). People are still talking about how amazing the food was.

    I was initially opposed to the idea of a buffet for our wedding, but Hank's did a great job making sure it was laid out in a way that was appealing and that moved people through efficiently. Everything went perfectly and the food was so delicious at both events.

    The value also cannot be beat. We did tastings with other caterers who were asking twice as much for food half as good.

    Hank's catered our wedding and did a great job. The food was great, portions were generous, and all of our guests complimented it, saying how much better it was than food at other weddings they'd attended. The service was prompt and professional, everything went smoothly. A member of the catering staff also served my husband and I at the reception so we did not need to go through the line. They also packed up leftovers to be sent home with family. The only comments I would have were that the catering coordinator was a bit hard to get in touch with at times, but all went fine in the end and there were no issues, and they charge an extra fee for cleanup, but considering how great of a value the food is compared to many other catering services, it was still way under our estimated budget! If you're looking for a professional yet also lower-budget or more home-style caterer for your wedding, Hank's is the perfect choice!

    We were very happy with Hanks! They definitely know what they are doing. The food was fantastic! We got compliments all night and there was almost nothing left over. We opted to do dessert as part of our catering package because we didn't want to do cake and we loved the brownies/blondies/cookies. It was the perfect option for our wedding. It was hit or miss on how quickly the responded to emails, but they helped us our and provided everything we needed. Definitely recommend them.

    Hank's is a great value, and the food is delicious! There are several options to choose from as far as pricing. However, even the most inexpensive options didn't seem cheap. Plus, there are even gluten-free and vegetarian entrees that aren't just a salad with the croutons and bacon bits removed. The only issue was that there were a few times it took a while for the coordinator to get back to us. Overall, a great experience.

    P.S. The brisket is amazing.

    While Hank's provided satisfying food the customer service is a bit lacking. We had a hard time getting in touch with their Catering Coordinator, with the weeks ticking down to the wedding. We also found out that the plasticware provided weren't one color they were a mix of black and white, which our Coordinator said was something they had not done before. Thankfully we had brought extra plasticware with us.

    Hanks did a great job with the food. Everyone had nothing but good things to say. Communicating with them beforehand was a bit harder than it was with other vendors, but things went pretty smoothly anyways. I think that this lack of communication may have led to an issue with a bartender thinking she was leaving earlier than we had planned (and before then wedding was over), but from what I understand everything went smoothly anyways: she stayed a bit later, and no one went without libations ;)

    Hank's Smokehouse catered our wedding reception. Overall, I was pleased with their service and the food was excellent. I would liked to have had better communication from them as I was attempting to book our wedding date and make arrangements for a tasting, but once the catering manager returned my calls things went smoothly. Our guests enjoyed the food and service. Thank you, Hank's!
