Hank's Farm - Ottawa

Good service, Has a nice salad bar. Food took a long time to arrive at the table.

We went to Hank’s for their Harry Potter themed brunch and we had a rather good experience. That staff is friendly, with everyone greeting us and our waitress checking in frequently, even though she was busy. The place has a very charming ambiance, with the farm element really being played up, though they could stand to upgrade to better napkins. They were very flimsy. As for the food, the brunch buffet was a little hit or miss, but the offerings it’s were good far more than the weren’t. The fried chicken was crunchy and tasty, but the roast beef was dry and overcooked. The biscuits and gravy were quite a solid rendition of the dish, but the Brussels were like bricks. Overall, we were very pleased and there were so many options that it was easy to find something good.

Very conflicted. The atmosphere here is wonderful, plus it was a Harry Potter themed day: 10/10 idea. However, when my family made this reservation, this was not mentioned. It was also not mentioned that there is no menu during this event and that only the buffet is available. We had looked online to see GF options and thought I'd be able to order food while others get the buffet, but this wasn't the case. I was charged full price for the buffet when I could only eat the salad. Very disappointing.

Best restaurant for chicken piccata. Nice, fresh salad bar with a huge cheese wheel. End the fabulous meal with 7 layer carrot cake. Wonderful meal!

Discovered this place on a drive out to Ottawa, Illinois from Chicago. Restaurant is an old dairy farm house that reminds you of a Wisconsin supper club. Food and dessert was spot on, I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order. There was a bit of a wait for food however we did get the baked cod and filet mignon. Salad bar was a nice surprise. Did not discover small outdoor patio dinning out back until we were leaving and what a beautiful view it has of beautiful sloped landscape with view of farmland. Worth the stop if out near Ottawa or seeking to dine somewhere that has a supper club feel to it without having to drive north to Wisconsin. Reasonably priced: for 2 people, Baked cod with shrimp vegetables as side, salad bar and a beer, filet mignon with mashed potatoes and gravy, salad bar and a drink. Two desserts big 6 layer carrot cake (delicious) and big piece of chocolate cake. $102.00 with tax cash before tip or $106.00 with credit card.
