The former Hackney's has completed its reinvention and has reopened as Hax: Hops & Hamburgers. Located at 733 S Dearborn (between Polk St & Harrison St) in Printers Row, the new spot will be in a soft opening phase, with limited menu options, until mid-July.
Expect a menu featuring the signature Hackneyburger, plus turkey burgers, veggie burgers, other sandwiches and more, all served on a variety of homemade buns, including the notable dark rye option. There'll be 10 local beers on tap, and once things are up and running, coffee and breakfast options will be added to the lineup.
Hax: Hops & Hamburgers has gotten good reviews thus far, with a four-star rating out of four reviews on Yelp.
Kate J., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on June 18th, said: "I had actually never been to the old Hackney's despite living in the neighborhood for a couple of years and but I was excited to try out this new version during its soft opening."
Yelper Thomas S. added: “So if you're looking for the old Hackney's, this isn't it. The new Hax is trying to compete against Epic Burger, but Hax serves beer (good beer too)."
And Claire R. said: "GREAT fries and atmosphere. Free pickles while you're waiting and nice plus. Staff was very polite. Burgers pretty good and ice cream next door!"
With a price rating of two dollar signs on Yelp, an outing to Hax: Hops & Hamburgers is estimated to cost $11-$30 per person.
