Hackney's has locations at 1241 Harms Road and 1514 E Lake Ave. Here are a few words about the establishment from its website:

"Ever since our great Aunt Bebe starting selling hamburgers and beer on her back porch during Prohibition, Hackney’s has been making people very, very happy. Today we’re famous for our big juicy Hackneyburgers on Hackney’s Dark Rye and our one-of-a-kind Hackney’s Original French Fried Onions. But we serve lots of other tasty items as well, like fresh salads, homemade soups, big fat sandwiches, comfy daily specials and more. And while Prohibition may be over, our beer selling days are not. Hackney’s has an ever-changing list of tap beers along with a full-service bar that can whip up any cocktail you can think of."
