★★★★☆ 4.0 Ronnie Garcia · Dec 2025

Waitstaff was very professional and witty. The atmosphere was nice, I thought the restaurant could have had more character. Food was okay, I think the best thing u had was cole slaw -- poboy bread was good. The ceviche and shrimp were okay but nothing I'd crave. Chips were horrible. Honestly, the waitstaff was best part of the restaurant I was a bit disappointed. Someone recommended I eat here, however they did tell me the location at wharf was recommended. My dining buddy got the oysters. He thought they were good, but not best he's had.

I visited Hanks in DuPont for the holiday pop up bar. Everyone we encountered was so so friendly and accommodating. Drinks were great and on theme. Decor was super cute!

Came to DC for the memorial weekend. One stop on my many adventures between DC and MD was this restaurant. And I am glad I did. Me and my guest did not have a reservation so we opted to sit at the bar until a table was available. We came on a Saturday during brunch. The hostess was pleasant but Chad stole the show. His drinks were amazing. Mine was one he made up and it was sooooo good. Food was fresh and served quickly. Flavors were also on point. Our server was friendly and had excellent oyster recommendations. Very good. I definitely recommend and would come back.

Baller oysters. We got a dozen of their proprietary’s Salty Wolfe. Great vibes and lovely staff to talk with.

Foods are good, we ordered all the specials of the days and weren't disappointed. Seafood pasta was loaded with shrimp, calamari and scallops. Grilled oysters are good, but kinda expensive
