About the restaurant

In 2001, Hannah's opened its doors in the heart and soul of Denton. Now, over two decades later, our establishment has grown with support of our community. What once started in a simple space on Hickory Street now resides within these historic walls that was formerly a blacksmith, fostering an eclectic cuisine that mirrors the artistic essence of Denton. Locally owned and operated by the same owner, ensuring unwavering commitment to Hannah’s and support to community outreach.

We take pride in collaborating, as much as possible, with local farmers, ranchers, and businesses to bring you the finest offerings. Our dedication extends to the selection of wines, coffee, spices sourced from smaller producers to provide our customers with a distinctive and curated experience.

Chef Anton, with 25 years of global culinary experience, leads our kitchen with creative mastery. Trained in Europe, having worked internationally, he now calls our local community home. Enjoy his inspired creations.

Our menus are all about bold, seasonal flavors, using ingredients from the best local farmers, ranchers, and growers—because fresh just hits different. Behind the bar, we’re mixing up garden-to-glass cocktails with house-made syrups and fresh juices, plus a barrel select whiskey program that’s all about the good stuff. Whiskey Cake is where great food and good company always come together.

We came to see Vic Duncan play, he is always a big hit! We enjoyed listening to him, but we’re kind of sad. There were no tables in the area where he was playing so that we could see him as well as hear him. The food was delicious and the service was great!

The place is very nice. The server was really good. The wine was in excellent. I had the filet and it was cooked perfectly mr. The rest of the food was highly seasoned which is not to my taste but probably is to others. The crab cakes were good, not excellent. We had a nice dinner in a nice atmosphere with great service. What is not to like.
