Hank's Downtown Dive

Great location and the food was good. We sat at the bar and it was a decent experience. Recommend the cauliflower appetizer and any of the tacos. Three stars due to the service mostly. The bartender was friendly but seemed overworked. When we arrived, we did not have a reservation and were told we would have to sit at the bar, but there were quite a few open tables. I try to give a little grace due to the current staffing issues out there, but there were at least 2-3 servers standing around at any given moment. Will likely try again but make a reservation to have the best chance at a good experience.

WOW!! The food here is so amazing!! Also, the vibe and the customer service are top notch. The small plates are great size so my bf and I treated them like tapas and split three. We ordered the heirloom tomatoes, the cauliflower, and the ceviche (not pictured). I had the gin mule which was SO refreshing. Will be back for more!! :)

Such a wonderful new dining experience to downtown Cary. The atmosphere is welcoming and unique, the staff while new were helpful and attentive. I look forward to the rotation of fresh local foods. If you are new to the area remember street parking and the parking lot at the restaurant can be difficult. Plan on using one of the nearby city lots and its a pleasurable walk of one or two blocks.
