Hank's Texas Grill - McKinney

This venue is a must-visit, especially after their renovations in 2020. Any Texas artist who has made it big has likely performed here. If Hanks hosts a new and emerging artist or band, be sure to remember their name. The entertainment is fantastic, and the service contributes significantly to the overall experience. The stage area offers plenty of space for enjoyment. The tables are well-placed for groups seeking consistent service, but if you're with a few friends or want a better view, the general admission area won't let you down.

If you're coming for the food, you might be missing the point. The bartenders are fast and skilled at mixing drinks. The food is decent, but it's mainly bar fare. I tried the sliders, and the meat was a bit dry. The other dishes we ordered were pretty good, but we were really there for the entertainment. There's plenty of space to enjoy the show, and the stage is high enough for everyone to see well. The drink prices are reasonable, and the band we saw, Shiny Ribs, was fantastic.

We were here to see our favorite band, Texas Flood, and I must admit, we only just discovered Hank's because of this concert! The ticket was just $10 at the door for Texas Flood. I'm not sure if you need a ticket when there isn’t live music. The food was reasonably priced, and we ordered brisket and grilled shrimp, both of which were very delicious. The highlight was definitely the peach cobbler with ice cream—it's so good that I might return just for that! As for drinks, we ordered some beers, but the options were a bit limited. My second drink was a Truly hard seltzer. Overall, we had great food, excellent service, and a fantastic venue. We'll definitely be coming back!

I visited the venue to see the amazing Ray Wylie for the first time. Entry was a breeze, and the bar staff were friendly and attentive. The drink prices were reasonable, and you can't beat how close you are to the performance. I highly recommend this place and would definitely return.
