New Lunch Service Extends Summer Appeal Hank's Seafood Restaurant is expanding its summer offerings with a new lunch service, available Thursday through Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The move capitalizes on Charleston's peak summer tourism season while providing a cooler respite from rising temperatures.
The lunch menu highlights the restaurant's raw bar selections, featuring half-priced half-shell oysters and $5 martinis. The restaurant's signature offerings—Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Hank's Signature Tuna Tartare, and the multi-tiered Seafood Tower—remain available.
A Restored Historic Setting Located inside a restored turn-of-the-century warehouse overlooking Charleston's City Market, Hank's positions itself as a destination for both casual and upscale dining. The restaurant emphasizes sustainably sourced seafood across its menu.
Why It Matters
For Charleston operators, Hank's expansion reflects broader industry trends: daytime dayparts are increasingly crucial for revenue during peak travel seasons, and raw bar promotions remain effective traffic drivers. The lunch service directly targets both locals seeking mid-week dining deals and summer visitors—a strategic move that mirrors pricing strategies used by competing seafood establishments in the region.
