Hank's Tavern

Definitely eat here! There's several reasons why its a local favorite and you won't regret it! The food: What a pleasantly unexpected variety of dietary options for a Tavern! The amount of tasty Gluten Free choices available here far exceed anywhere else that I've found in Muskegon thus far! The chef has a solid handle on seasoning and flavors just to say the least. Our steaks were cooked perfectly to order (medium-rare), perfectly seasoned, and were so juicy! The sides were so delicious that they stand up on their own. My Gluten Free son swears their burgers and tacos are the best he's ever had (my heart isn't too broken since he shares sometimes lol). The service and atmosphere: Excellent, friendly, and efficient service is provided for sure each time we've frequented. The atmosphere / service It's one of those places where you feel welcomed as if you're a regular even when you're new in town! (I'm not super new to the area anymore, but even when we were) the atmosphere and service will absolutely keep you coming back. After about a year in town my son also began working at the Tavern as his first job and I was not at all surprised to hear how exceptionally clean the back of house is kept, since everytime I had eaten there the dinning room and tables were so well maintained! It really is a great family owed, neighborhood gathering place with great food and service! So blessed to have such a cool eatery so close by!

They have a dedicated Gluten Free menu and the food is great.

We were on a road trip and decided to give Hank’s Tavern a try after hearing good things about their gluten-free options. The vibe was super relaxed and welcoming. We sat on the patio, which was really charming with its covered area and pretty window planters full of flowers. The whole experience was great, and our server, Alex, was super sweet and attentive. I went with the gluten-free 1/2 pound BLT sandwich and a side salad with balsamic vinaigrette, while the Mr. opted for the gluten-free kickin' chicken sandwich with a side salad too. We both had Pepsi to drink. Honestly, that BLT was hands down the best I’ve had in a restaurant! The gluten-free bun was fluffy, perfectly toasted, and didn’t even taste gluten-free. The bacon was crispy, the mayo was just right, and the tomato slice covered the whole sandwich, so every bite was spot on. The salad was fine, but the vinaigrette could have used a bit more kick. I’m seriously still thinking about that BLT—I should’ve gotten one to-go! I highly recommend Hank’s Tavern. They’re fantastic at handling dietary restrictions, the food is delicious, and it’s a great place to sit back and enjoy your meal.
