I have been to Hancock a few times now. I would typically grab something to-go after a sunday yoga session across the street. The staff have been friendly and accomodating. I enjoyed the chicken sandwich and the sweet sauce is pretty good as well. I would recommend checking out Hancock if you are looking for good friend chicken on the east side of GR.

Not even served real food. We got takeout, a burger and traditional chicken sandwich. First we noticed the burger was already cold after less than 5 minutes in the car, then the chicken sandwich was not even chicken. Cut it open to see that it was just breaded breading?? Also the top layer of breading was raw in between. I have no idea what is going on there but this is ridiculous.

I will definently be returning to this place. They have outside seating and a area for kids to play. The food was delicious. I ordered Brussel sprouts, fish fillet with mashed potatoes and had their Chai Somthing New cocktail and everything was good. The French fries are crinkle nut seasoned and crispy 😋. You can choose the hotness level of your meat which I think is dope. They have a selection of cocktails, beers, a few wines and if course pops and I believe lemonade. The environment is very chill. Be cute for a date, meeting up with the girls/guys or taking the family for lunch/dinner.

Laid back vibes and good food. I found it interesting that the sandwiches had tenders in them rather than a filet but still very good. Also get the banana pudding, it’s worth it!

Perfect spot for a mommy/son lunch date. My 8 year old said this was the best chicken tenders he’s ever had. No sauce needed. We played jumbo connect 4 in the sunshine while we waited for our food. Love this restaurant.

Most delicious cornbread ever! We sat outside on a beautiful night. We had the cornbread-so good - and the Brussels sprouts salad with sweet chicken. Loved the lime salad dressing and chicken was yummy. Friendly hostess. Only downside was we had to pay for pricey parking because we couldn’t find street parking.

Love the Hot Fried Chicken! The pickles and BBQ Baked Beans are awesome too! I always have good, friendly service. I have been coming here since the day they opened and have not had one negative experience. Every menu I've tried has been delicious. If you love fried chicken done right, with or without the spicy heat, I highly recommend giving Hancock a try!

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. Update 2024: visited for their brunch offering. The chicken and waffle was delicious but the chicken portion was quite small. The breakfast burrito was also very good, portion size for that was great. They have also switched to a counter based ordering system. We did prefer the traditional table service, but speed wise everything was fine.

Hancock has some of these best fried chicken in Grand Rapids (and dare we say Nashville.) it's also crispy and juicy. Their jalapeño cheddar cornbread is also amazing. Crispy and flavorful. I typically do the tender basket since it comes with a side, but chose to try the chicken Parmesan sandwich and it was delicious. Ken did do the basket with mac and cheese. He thought the hot sauce was almost a little too hot. Service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is simple but cute. Touches of greenery really add a lot. They also have a huge outdoor seating area in the summer. If only it was dog friendly. Parking isn't great. Mostly street and usually have to walk a bit.

I am never disappointed by a visit to Hancock. Our last visit was no different. We typically sit at the bar where we are quickly attended to. we always start with an order of their famous jalapeño cornbread. Although we decided from now on, we should really start ordering it for dessert because it is so sweet and buttery and delicious. I For my main course I love their chicken tenders and get them hot. (I've tried the hotter once and that was too much.) I got the mac & cheese cheese as my side and it was good. I've had the Yukon mashed potatoes in the past, and those are also great! This last visit, my husband opted for one of their Lenten specials, the shrimp Poboy. It was good, although he wished there was more than three shrimp, he opted for the fries but we both agreed that they are probably worth skipping next time. Crinkle cut is just not my favorite cut of fry and they have much better side options. In my opinion Hancock has a full bar, but you simply must try (one of their slushies. My favorite is the cold fashion their take on an old-fashioned.) they also have Strohs in the can (you gotta love an old-school option!) meals here are definitely a treat as they are pretty pricey. delicious but definitely bougie chicken.

Literally the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Ate here right before a concert and it literally tasted like heaven on earth

Food is excellent. In-store dining experience poor. When I go to a restaurant I want to waiter or waitress. We came last year and really enjoyed it when we had a waiter or waitress. Especially at these kind of prices.

I feel like this place went down hill right around the time you could no longer order and pay for it through Toast, which makes me think there was a management or ownership change. The fries used to be thin and crispy and now they are dense and oily. The fish used to be light, fresh and generously portioned. My last order was tiny overcooked pieces that tasted odd, and the order before that they were fatty. The service seems way slower at the take out window too. So disappointed this place had dropped in quality so much. I've learned my lesson and won't be back.

The service is horrible and i'm being slightly generous, they said 5-10 mins and proceeded to have me wait 30+ mins... PLACE NEEDS HELP

Nice pit stop into Hancock... good vibes as always. They play great music so it helps. Went with some fries, pimento dip, and Crab fritter? All great.

We love Hancock... they have great food, fantastic atmosphere, solid service and the prices are very reasonable for the massive amount of food you receive! We last dined here with the kids on a Friday night around 6:30p and had no problem getting in. We sat at one of the outdoor picnic tables and while the road noise there on the corner is quite loud... with kids, that's sort of preferred. And we weren't the only ones with that idea... the place was hoping with families who were out for dinner and leveraging the many yard games they have set up for patrons. We had a chicken dinner (again huge!) with two sides, a burger for one of the kids and some tenders and fries for the other. I also ordered a shaved Brussels salad and was a touch dissapointed... it seems the portion size of the salad shrank by half. That said, I didn't go home hungry because I was able to bat clean up for the rest of the family's meals. We also recommend biking there if you can. It's not far from our house and we enjoyed the getting there as much as we enjoyed dining there.

REALLY good chicken. I ordered the Chicken Tenders and the meat was juicy and the batter was crispy and flaky! They were well seasoned and the spice was really nice, I ordered the hottest and it packs some good heat! I'd come back and try the rest of the stuff on the menu.

This place is awesome!! I love the overall vibe. The menu is small and simple. The food is fan-frickin-tastic!! The corn bread and the pimento cheese dip are incredible. The chicken is delicious.

Great food. The chicken tenders are really good, as is the Cole slaw and biscuits. The traditional sauce for the tenders is hot enough for me.

Andrea M.

We went on a weekday when it was not very busy. Our service was impeccable! She gave us the run down on their food and offered suggestions. We tried the tenders and a sandwich with fries along with the slushy flight and a beer. At 1st I thought the slushy flight wasn't going to be great since they came in small shot glasses HOWEVER they all were so delicious and you could truly taste the alcohol! I would 100% return just for a slushy but the food was also very good and filling! And it was so well priced which is rare these days. We will make this a stable for us when we want good chicken!

I cannot believe I haven't written a review for Hancock yet! I love this place!! I've been multiple times now and cannot rave about it enough as I have never had a bad meal from here. I typically go for the chicken sandwich and switch between traditional and hot. SO delicious! Their waffle fries are awesome too and they have the good ranch if you know what I'm talking about haha Their outdoor seating area is awesome and I've never dined on the inside but they do have seating options available inside as well! Everything is fairly priced with the chicken sandwich being $8 and all their sides are $4. Honestly such a steal. I also was at a workshop about a month ago where they had Hancock catered and it was to die for. Their mac and cheese + mashed potatoes and gravy were so yummy and I'm not typically big on actual bone in friend chicken but it has my mouth watering just thinking about it again! Definitely recommend.

Tried it yesterday... want it again today... Hancock has been on my list to try but moved to the number one spot after I read fellow elite Ashley M's review of their vegan chicken sandwich. the vegan chicken sandwich was out of this world. I cannot stop thinking about it. I loved the waffle fries too. they were very crispy and well seasoned. I got my vegan chicken sandwich hot and it did have an intense kick too it. next time i would try the gochujang one. my mom got a regular chicken sandwich and said it was the best she's had in while. the only complaint i have is they only have bread and butter pickles (i despise sweet pickles) but i just went home and added my own no problem. i loved the ambiance of the place and the breeze from the open garage type doors felt so amazing. The alcohol list looked extensive and they even had alcohol slushees. I told my friend how good my sandwich was and she doordashed herself one that same day and agreed. it was GREAT.

Great little spot - the doubles down on fried chicken - fun for the kids too - outdoor courtyard with games! Cute take out window and they have a variety of fun alcohol slushes they even sell in to-go pouches

Best chicken sandwiches in western Michigan! When you go, order one of each (Sweet, Traditional, Hot, Hotter, Hottest).

Deana H.

Yelp
So impressed with their customer service. We had food door dashed to us and an order of fries was missing. Hancock's refunded our money with an emailed gift card, and gave a heart felt apology for the issue. In addition, the chicken sandwiches, fries, chicken strips and pimento Mac n cheese were VERY good! I'll definitely be back, thank you!

Lacrisha L.

My cousin has told me about Hancock's last year and because we didn't have time to visit we wanted to try next time I was in town which was over Christmas. The day we wanted to go the weather wasn't great so great so we ordered delivery I believe through Grub Hub. It was supposed to be about an hour but got our order 15 minutes earlier which was a plus. I went with the 4-piece hot with pimento mac n cheese and waffle fries. To receive our order 45 minutes after the order was placed, the chicken was still crispy and juicy and flavorful and the waffle fries were crispy. As for the mac n cheese, I admit I overlooked the pimento part and not a fan of pimento cheese but I have to say it was pretty good. Next time when I'm in town which will be in about 2 months, I would like to go there to eat and try one of their boozy drinks.

Yelp
I'm in disbelief how horrible this food and experience was. I had to wait 17 minutes for fresh chicken wich was fine because I like fresh food. I suggested that they cook my fish a few minutes before the chicken was done so everything would be hot. I got my meal (38 dollars) and tried my fries and they had to be made over an hour before ( its a slow Monday the place is EMPTY) and for 38 dollars they could've atleast had everything fresh along with the chicken. Ofcourse I was heated and returned the fries to a sarcastic rude supervisor only to find out later the fish was old too but at this point I didn't even trust to send more food back in fear of tampering. I get home and opened the box to this disgusting looking chicken

Great food. Walk up to pick up to take out and gave my order to another customer. Waited another 20 minutes to get my order. Nothing to apologize for the mistake or apologize for the wait at least.

Super fun in the summer to have a beer and some fried chicken. I've had better fried chicken (sometimes it can be dry), but not in GR. Their crack sauce (my nickname) is so good you will find yourself putting it on fries, bread, chicken, fingers whatever it's mental. Gotta try the cornbread it's super yummy, one tip too don't order online. My wife waited for 40 mins and if you just go order in person its like 10 mins max (not sure why).

Katy C.

Yelp
Some things have definitely changed at Hancock since my last review - the menu being one of them. They have chicken tenders now, which is a nice addition for those who prefer boneless chicken. You can still get a half or whole bird with sides, as well as several different sandwiches (they started with only one sandwich option) including pulled chicken, Korean chicken sandwich, a fried chicken wrap, fish sandwich, shrimp po'boy, even a vegan chicken sandwich. At first glance, the menu seems cheap ($8-$9 for a sandwich) but once you start ordering sides, it can add up quickly. So if you want a chicken sandwich and fries, it will be at least $13, but that's in line with most places in town these days. Nate and I got a chicken sandwich, fries, shaved Brussels sprout salad with added tenders, and a couple boozy slushies while there recently. I was really impressed with the chicken - the tenders on my salad were amazing. Lightly crispy on the outside with perfectly juicy chicken inside. The hot level was dialed in - not burn your face off hot, with just a bit of lingering heat. This is basically their mild level so it was nice for a hot day. The sandwich was a classic with the same delicious tenders. I wasn't thrilled with the salad - it was a huge portion, definitely shareable for two people, but the dressing seemed super bland, and there were just a few tiny (like 1/4" dice) pieces of sweet potato and a couple pecans. I'd stick with the romaine salad next time. I'm glad we stopped in and got to experience how Hancock has evolved over the years, and I'm looking forward to spending some more time on their shaded patio this summer. If you like fried chicken, this is a great spot to try!

Yelp
This is a pick up order review. Their patio is so cute I want to come back and eat here to get the amazing outdoor experience! I got the chicken sandwich and half chicken then a couple of biscuits.. The sandwich is one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had comparable to the fat shallot in downtown Chicago. The half chicken was dripping in great friend goodness I had to blink and it was gone I liked it so much The honey butter jelly and biscuits were a perfect side to counter act the amount of spice! Perfect meal to get you ready to nap! Can't wait to come back

This is the best fried chicken in Grand Rapids. The service is friendly, pricing is reasonable, menu items are well executed and imaginative, and the interior vibe is clean/modern/hip. Their deep fried biscuits are ridiculously good. Extra star for cooking the fries crispy upon request.

Nick C.

Yelp
Hancock was one of the greats, but has since fallen off the track a bit it seems. Hard to put a pin in it; however, at first glance they've never evolved the restaurant. It was built pre-Covid and was then a good lunch and summer spot. After going again last night for dinner, we are not sure when we will return. It seems there is no life in there, it's quiet, dark--no ambiance whatsoever. A super boring experience for dinner. The food was alright, but the portions have dwindled. I respect their pricing, super competitive, but maybe it's time to raise the prices and give the people a big hunking chicken sandwich once again. The restaurant needs to liven it up. Reevaluate the lighting, consider a TV near the bar to drive activity and a reason to stay, their needs stools with backrests, and they need 1-2 tables that seat over five people. It's not down and out but needs an improvement and I am surprised I have not seen many reviews that say this, I think people are being too nice!

Claire B.

Not to be dramatic or anything but I think I will love Hancock'a hotter chicken sandwich and fries until the day I die

Michelle S.

Yelp
Such a great place! Love the vibe and the area. Outdoor seating and music make your meal feel like a party, an occasion, a place where it is always carefree summer and the chicken is fresh from the kitchen! I ordered a hot chicken sandwich and it was flavorful with a bite (my lips were burning and I needed Hancock's delicious Ranch dressing to temper the heat). I am a person who likes heat, so if you don't, definitely order the traditional coating. If you like heat, they offer hot, hotter, and hottest. Our table was happy with hot. And everyone wanted to borrow my Carmex to soothe their ignited lips! My daughter had eaten here before and told me, "Their Ranch is good. You know what I mean." We are Ranch snobs, and she was spot on. People around us had the alcoholic slushes and seemed very happy with them. The iced tea was just as good! We also had the waffle fries and mashed potatoes and gravy--all delicious and perfectly shareable. My husband and daughter had the chicken tenders (hot) and both raved about their meals. You honestly can't lose here. We can't wait to come again.

First time today, got the chicken sandwich, hot, and will be back again for sure to try the rest of the menu. Nice friendly staff. They explained all the options and recommendations Parking is a bit tricky but great vibe on the inside and good music

Visited here after seeing reviews for great chicken, and it was excellent! Service was great even though they stayed busy. We sat outside but it's well laid out and there is a section to keep kids occupied. If you are looking for chicken made well with several degrees of hot, check this place out!

Ashley M.

Yelp
Hancock's takeout is excellent! Their online ordering through toast tab is easy. We picked up dinner the night before Thanksgiving and enjoyed it as always! They brought back their seitan vegan chicken sandwich, too-- which is SO delicious. Best waffle fries in town.

Renee J.

Yelp
We found ourselves in the neighborhood around lunch time, so we tried the traditional flavored chicken tenders with waffle fries as the side, and ordered the biscuit. The last time, we found the first level hot just a tad too spicy. The traditional would be perfect if just a little bit more of spices or black pepper was used in dipping flour/batter. I called and asked if you could order 1/2 the level of hot, and they explained that the heat/spiciness comes from the oil it is cooked in, so it wasn't possible. They recommended ordering a hotter/spicier dipping sauce next time. The actual chicken was just as great, as before, not dry and very tasty. But the real reason for another 5 star review is all about the biscuit. First, it is the most expensive biscuit I've ever had, $4 for one. It is also the largest biscuit I've ever had, can definitely be cut in half and shared. But it was the most lightest/fluffiest biscuit....aka the BEST biscuit I've ever had. You must try one.

Andrea Z.

Yelp
Friendly, casual environment. Fried chicken wrap hotter is my fave. In the summer try a slushy out on the newly renovated patio. If you haven't stopped by, make a trip.

Mike W.

Yelp
WOW. There is some serious cooking going on at Hancock! I'm one who likes some heat so I decided to choose the "Hotter" option. This was perfect for me and I thought the balance of heat and taste was excellent. And while the chicken was fantastic, my favorite part of my meal was the sides. I had the Mac and cheese, baked beans, and corn bread. All 3 were exemplary but the beans and corn bread were head and shoulders above the Mac and cheese. The corn bread is paired with a house butter... Oh my was that good. The bread also had cheddar and jalapeno but it was not spicy. The baked beans were amazing. I thought this was actually the most impressive part of the whole dish. I'm not quite sure what it is, but there is something in the beans that just take it over the top. I highly recommend the baked beans. Because of covid all of the seating was outside, but the weather was great so there was no issue. As a tip: 1/2 bird is enough for two people. Next time I'm here I'm just going to split a half bird with my wife instead of getting one for myself.

Melonie V.

Stopped here on a whim when we were downtown to visit our new grandson at the hospital and was so glad we did! Our food was very good, server was friendly and we loved the outdoor seating & games. The only complaint would be that it took 25min for our server to cash us out which put us in a time crunch.

I finally made my way to Hancock to enjoy an outdoor lunch on their patio. The staff was very friendly but we had to ask if we take any table or wait to be seated. It seems that all the signs are for third party delivery companies. We noticed a lot of guests awkwardly standing at the entrance wondering what to do. Similar to other places, they ask you to use your phone for their menu. The menu isn't large but my wife and I each ordered a chicken sandwich and we shared side orders of mac/cheese, mashed potatoes, waffle fries and coleslaw. The sandwiches were tasty but some of the sides were just average. We didn't love the coleslaw but the fries were great. The mac/cheese and potatoes weren't bad. I think it compares to authentic Nashville Hot Chicken pretty well. The chicken could have had a hotter temperature but the spice level was fine. The slice of cheese wasn't even melted when it came out, which is why I think it could be warmer. Overall, great design and outdoor patio and friendly staff. The food is what you expect and it hits the spot if you're craving fried chicken.

On Doordash's website for this restaurant it says "Most loved restaurants. This is one of our top-rated, most reliable restaurants." I would not agree with that statement at all. The Good: The Jalapeño Cheddar Corn Bread and sorghum butter was excellent or I'd have rated them 2 stars. The Bad: $14 for six small chicken tenders that weighed in at 5.4 ounces, and I've had much better tenders, even from national chains like Chick-fil-A. I paid $1.25 for some what turned out to lackluster ranch dressing. The tiny container wasn't even half full. This establishment is one of the places on Doordash where there's a note stating that any review you make is private and shared only with the restaurant. Evidently they have no confidence in their ability to consistently put out good food at a good price.

Literally one of our favorite quick places to go. Only downfall: You can't call to place your order over the phone- you have to do it online.. which I could see being difficult for someone not great with technology. Overall such great food for its price point.

Riley M.

Yelp
I stopped here for their pulled chicken sandwich, but wasn't super impressed. I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich but with vegan cheese and mayo (because I'm currently not eating dairy). It also comes with butter pickles on it. The first thing that REALLY was bothersome is that their chicken was not pulled. It was "chunks" of chicken. And they were dark and white pieces. Call me picky, but I really enjoy my pulled chicken to be not tough and easy to eat, not in huge chunk bites that fall off the bun. This was the opposite. Also DO NOT get the cornbread if you don't like super greasy. I was not expecting their jalapeño cornbread to be SOAKED in deep fryer grease but they for sure were. It made them hard to eat and when we each tried a bite of one there was a puddle of grease left sitting on the plate. Ewww. The only thing that was SUPER nice and blew me away was the atmosphere. It was super pretty, clean and nice to have such a large outdoor area! You can choose between sitting indoors or outdoors and they both are very spacious and nice locations!

I am a huge ROYALS (Louisville) fan and this is the closest thing to the OG here in West Michigan. The location for this establishment is absolutely perfect. The decor is spot on. The vibe is positive. The ambiance is rad. The food is delicious. If you are craving some Nashville hot chicken and you have stumbled into Grand Rapids...this is the joint for you! Sip on some bourbon while you wait for your spiced chicken tenders to make their way to your table. Sit outside and enjoy the sunshine (while you can) on the patio. Say "hello" to a stranger and make a new friend. Caution: be careful with those spice levels. Hottest is the threshold for me. Enjoy!

Hancock is such a good, easy spot for dinner. Love the chicken sandwiches, straightforward menu, and fun outdoor seating area.

I've been here a few times and am always impressed. The staff is always super warm and welcoming and ready to help. They are attentive, but also don't mind giving you time to chat, enjoy the restaurant, and peruse the menu. Level 10 perfect attentiveness. The food is always very good as well. This has become my favorite place for Nashville Hot Chicken in Grand Rapids. I've tried the "hot" and "hotter" but haven't ventured all the way to the "hottest" yet. While I think that fried chicken is best served on the bone, I wish Hancock had an option for chicken tenders. Bone-in can be a bit messy, especially if you're dining with co-workers or someone you'd prefer not see you with sauce on your face. Oh well, small issue. The last time I was here, I had the hot chicken poutine and it was super tasty! I am no poutine expert, but I've had it enough to start to form a solid opinion. This poutine could have had more gravy added, but what it lacked in gravy, it made up for in the tangy zestiness of the perfectly seasoned chicken. If you're craving some great chicken, give this place a try. Also, in the warmer months, the outdoor seating area is incredible.

Terry E.

Yelp
I just love what Hancock has done with this little building on the corner. The string lights and grass covered area where the umbrella covered tables are outside is just adorable. They've totally transformed that whole corner. The whole vibe is fun. There are corn hole boards and all. Dress is casual. We finally had a chance to try out the food today and it was delicious... tons of flavor! If you're not up for some hot food make sure you don't order the spicy chicken (or even the MILDLY spicy). It's all super hot and wonderful! I got the medium spicy and I can still feel it on my lips 4 hours later lol. The Mac and Cheese is like Heaven! My favorite part was the Carrot Cake. It's so fresh it melted in my mouth.

unfortunately, i waited for almost 1/2 hour for food to arrive. i was seated at a high table and told the lower tables could not accommodate a single patron. ridiculous. the jalapeno cornbread was not great and very greasy, hard on the outside. for $4, the container of baked beans was tiny and only filled 1/3 of the way.

Rhonda S.

Yelp
The patio was great! The cocktails were delicious, especially on a hot summer night. We ordered the crab cakes which were awesome. Could've had more of these! However, when it came to our meal selections, they were huge letdowns. The shaved Brussels sprout salad wasn't dressed enough so had to ask for more dressing. The pulled chicken pretzel sandwich was served alone (a la carte). I had to pull out the pickles because they were awful. It didn't have nearly enough BBQ sauce and should have come with fries for the price. I would recommend the place just for drinks and appetizers only.

Gary J.

Yelp
This is on my short list for lunch. I have done both dine in and pickup. The food is great and servers are very good. Just don't go here if you are in a hurry. And, don't count on the take out being ready when they say. In fact, feed the meter even if you arrive after your order is due.

Linnea F.

Yelp
Went to eat here last week. I was a bit alarmed to see that the staff was not cleaning (let alone sanitizing) the tables in between customers. I had to ask for the table to be wiped off, but even then it looked like just a damp rag (no sanitizer). So many other restaurants in the area are doing better, so I probably won't be back for awhile. Other than that, the tables were spaced out (all outdoor seating), they did provide hand sanitizer, and required masks to be inside to order.

SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: 4 DRINK QUALITY: 5 ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 3 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.57 Went in for a late night dinner because I was craving a chicken sandwich. After reading the revue I decided I wanted to try one of Grand Rapids best chicken sandwiches. The chicken was fabulous. The cheese was cold, and not melted l, which I don't, personally, like. The lettuce was chopped which I also don't like. The sandwich is still delicious and very spicy. I recommend starting with the lowest heat and working your way up to avoid burning yourself. The restaurant doesn't contain a lot of decor and isn't much to look at on in the inside. It reminded me of an old 50s diner with no 50s decor. They are known for their largest list of sparkling wines which you would never know by walking in. They should consider putting in a display rack behind the bar to show it off. Just my opinion though. I'm very intrigued by their Sunday menu, and I'm really looking forward to going back on Sunday for their Korean style sandwich. The kimchi sounds delicious. My overall experience was great and i look forward to eating their delicious chicken again. I think I also want to eat those gravy fries. I hear good things.

Consistency has dropped, $4 for a side...absurd. The biscuit is more like a crouton, old dry and hard. Very disappointing and I would order from Hancock weekly, not anymore.

I stopped by Hancock in the summer with a few friends after lounging around at the beach. We ordered a few sandwiches, fries, and slushies as well. I ordered the vegan chicken sandwich and it was delicious, and definitely spicy! It was one of the best vegan chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The fries were crispy cooked to perfection. I'll definitely have to come back!
