Review Hancock - Grand Rapids

Fresh, hot, and crispy! Chicken tenders and fries were amazing! They paired nicely with the sweet Cole slaw! Definitely loved all the dipping sauces as well! Liam took great care of us! Can’t wait to come back!

Always love their food. I appreciate that I can choose my spice level because I can’t tolerate much spice 😁 Fun summer drinks too! Super fun atmosphere in the summer when you can sit outside. They have some fun outdoor games to play for younger kids or even adults while you’re waiting!

I was super excited when I heard about this place the chicken tenders were delicious the heat of them was not the hottest but it made up with spice level nice service 10 min.prep and serve fries were very spicy but good rate this 5star

Sat outside, had fun games to plays in the outdoor area. Good alcohol drink options and vegetarian options. Enjoyed the frozen samplers. Fun atmosphere and good food.

Where do I even begin? Walking into Hancock was a very welcoming experience. I love that as soon as you enter you're faced with a sign that tells you whether to wait to be seated or to seat yourself. I hate going places and being confused and stared at awkwardly not knowing what to do! Throughout my time there, everyone was so quick to the door to make sure guests were greeted and seated super fast. So great! After we were seated we checked out the menu and the waiter was SO great at explaining different options and spice levels on the menu. He really made our experience! The jalapeño cornbread was hands down the best cornbread I've ever had. We each got a fried chicken sandwich which FAR from disappointed! I actually took my bun off because the chicken itself carried so much flavor it didn't need anything accompanying it. My boyfriend got the hotter chicken sandwich and absolutely loved it. The fries here are THE BOMB. Best fries I have ever had! The house lemonade was perfect... great sour taste! I could go on and on about my amazing experience here. Best lunch I've had in a very long time. I highly recommend Hancock to anyone and everyone. If you're thinking of going- do it. You won't regret it.

Great food and atmosphere at Hancock! We both had the hot chicken sandwich, which was very tasty. I appreciated that the spice was actually cooked into the chicken and not just an added sauce. We also had the crush puppies and jalapeño corn bread which were both delicious - highly recommend both. I enjoyed their strawberry cocktail, similar to a spiked strawberry lemonade, and it kept good flavor all the way to bottom. I also have to give kudos to a place that has both adult drinks and a place for kids to play. Lovely for parents, like myself, to have an enjoyable evening out.

Love this place! On of my go-to’s in the neighborhood. This time I had a few of their fantastic (alcohol) slushies and hot chicken tenders with homemade bread & butter pickles. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu - the vegan satay sandwich is also wonderful.

The food here was very good. Great for if you want fried chicken without feeling gross. However, not a great place to go to if you are already hungry. I waited about 40 minutes for the food to come out, so that was a huge downside for me since I was already hungry. Perfect portions and I was very satisfied. In my picture is the Yukon mashed potatoes and gravy, Mac and cheese, and tender plate (traditional).

Giving service 5 stars, food 3 stars. I had a burger at a chicken place…so there’s that to consider. Ordered the Smash Burger, it was just ok. Had cheese on it and was very messy, more liquid than solid. Patty was more like a vegan burger . If I went back, might do to try the chicken, I definitely wouldn’t get a burger. Also had the fries, they were undercooked and cold. I was very impressed at the liquor selection…saw Hendricks Gin on the shelf! Top notch small batch gin. Bottom line, probably won’t go back, lots better burgers elsewhere. Service is very good!

One of the best hidden gems in East grand rapids! My favorite thing are the chicken tenders and most certainly the blushies!!! Love the patio and all the yard games!

The atmosphere was very nice. It’s an old gas station turned into a restaurant. The decor and remodeling was very well done. It has a bar we got a ole boy blue slushee. It was strong for a slushee so it was GREAT! I had the sweet chicken tenders with waffles fries. The tenders were toss in a honey sauce that slapped! It was so tasty and good. Then we had the half chicken hot on the the side. The hot was too hot for me but flavorful. The chicken is fried crispy. The mash potatoes I recommend over waffle fries their flavorful and creamy. We will be back when visiting Grand Rapids.

Great cornbread and crush puppies. Fun slushies. The Blue Boy was our favorite. The hotter chicken is definitely hot!! But tasty. I bit oily but good. Waffle fries are also a good match with the chicken.

Really good chicken. I got the tenders and a slushy flight. The chicken tenders come as 5 pieces with a side. I got 3 of those tenders at the hottest spice level and 2 at sweet with a side of coleslaw. The hottest seemed like a combo of chili oil and dry rub (they warn that it also contains pork products), and the sweet was honey butter. Both flavors of chicken tenders were fantastic. The side of coleslaw worked as a great way to balance the heat. I chose John Daly, you've my boy blue, cold fashioned, and Gin and Julius for the four slushies in my flight. I liked these most in the following order: John Daly, cold fashioned, you've my boy blue, and Gin and Julius. Overall I really enjoyed the food. Previously I've also had their chicken sandwich and that is one of the best in the city. I prefer the hottest for my chicken sandwich. The pickles they use and slaw makes the sandwich come together so well.

Let's start with the best part of Hancock: the fried chicken is absolutely delicious. The half bird is a generous portion even if shared. The building is nicely decorated and clean. Nice selection of cocktails and beers. Service was very fast, bordering just a bit on pushy.

The burgers, fries, and slushy were amazing! When ordering, you'll have to be careful about the spice level. The first time I came to the restaurant I ordered too spicy of a burger and didn't enjoy it. The second time was much better.
