Located off Highway 158 in Eden, Hank’s Bistro & Brew has quickly become a popular gathering place for the Ogden Valley dining scene. Opened by the Vasquez family the day after Thanksgiving in 2024, this fast-casual restaurant was recently voted “Best American Style Restaurant” in The Standard Examiner’s Best of Northern Utah Awards.
Hank’s varied menu offers something for everyone. Whether it’s mouth-watering meat dishes like cheesesteak sandwiches or burgers made with their proprietary beef blend, hand-crafted pizzas, or fresh vegetarian options, Hank’s has a dish to satisfy every appetite. As a former employee and regular diner at Hank’s, my personal favorite is any of the cilantro lime rice bowls topped with sautéed vegetables and paired with a protein – large grilled shrimp, lean juicy steak, or southwest-seasoned chicken. Inspired by a family trip to Italy, the Vasquez family’s homemade hand-tossed pizza crust is just the right texture, falling somewhere between crispy and chewy.
Hot Honey Pepperoni and Hank’s Marghie pizzas are perennial customer favorites, and their monthly specialty pizza is always delicious. For those who are vegetarian, have food allergies, or wish to complement an entrée, there is a well-stocked self-service salad bar.
Hank’s recently added a Sunday brunch menu and offers a combination of traditional breakfast items such as eggs Benedict with homemade hollandaise sauce, Market Street potatoes, French toast, pancakes, and homemade scones with honey butter, as well as selected items from their lunch and dinner menu. Brunch hours are from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Draft, domestic, craft beer, and wine by the glass or bottle are available. Self-serve iced tea and soda, energy drinks, coffee, and cocoa round out the beverage offerings. The dessert menu hits all the right notes of sweet with a rotating selection of Farr’s ice cream flavors and cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. For chocolate lovers, house-baked Lava Cake and Pazookie are deeply satisfying, especially when topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate and caramel sauces.
In addition to high-quality ingredients and hearty food portions, Hank’s serves heartfelt hospitality coupled with excellent customer service. The positive energy of owners Howard and Angie, sons Jake and Josh, daughter Brittany, and son-in-law Sopie spills into the dining room. Greeting everyone with a smile, visitors and regular customers alike soon become family friends.
With less than a year in operation, Hank’s has become the “go to” restaurant ― a perfect place for the community to gather for great food and friendly conversation in Ogden Valley. And, if you are lucky, you might meet Hank, the family’s yellow Labrador.
