Hank Sauce Sea Isle City
COVID-19 Update: Delivered dinner
Got to Sea Isle for the Memorial Day weekend and decided on delivery due to the rain. This was a great choice, glad they opened that weekend. Caesar salad was excellent and the pulled pork sandwich was very good. Would definitely go back.
A winter family visit to Sea Isle and take out for dinner. Easy to order and Covid sensitive service plus excellent food. We enjoyed everything. Definitely a place to frequent
My husband and I ordered from Hanks, during the COVID pandemic we were glad to see how busy they were….it took a while to get thru on the phone…once we placed our order it was ready in a short amount of time. We shared the…guacamole and chips which were delicious! My husband had the Hank Burger and said it was amazing..I had the shrimp pinchos which I believe are no longer on the menu…unfortunately having been to Spain I compared them to what I had in Spain. The presentation was a bit under-whelming and the portion size was a bit small, but they were tasty..We would definitely return and try something else…More
Best food for the money on the island. Whatever you order, whether it’s soup, regular menu items or specials guaranteed to be outstanding.

Reviews For Hank Sauce
I LOVE this hot sauce! And I dont normally like hot sauce but this has turned me on to it. I bought a few bottles from a super nice gentleman at a reptile expo and now just discovered my local beer distributor has some flavors. Every one Ive tried has been AMAZING. So full of flavor and deliciousness.
Nothing special, understand it’s the shore so prices are jacked up but $13-$17 burgers and sandwiches that are not much more than lots of brioche bread and some meat with potato chips isn’t really worth the cost. I don’t mind paying higher prices but the food needs to be better than just average. Food is ok, just not worth the costs. Heard the wings are solid but again $19 for 12 wings seemed liked a stretch.
This is my new found favorite sauce company. I was shopping a local farmers market Picking up item and the lady recommended Hanks Hot Sauce and glad she did… Went back and just picked myself up some of the honey harbanero. Can’t wait to get it on some wings, ribs, and more…
Growthcurve Episode 1: Hank Sauce
The Secret Recipe to Branding
An interview with Josh Jaspon and Matt Pittaluga, founders of Hank Sauce, a hot sauce company that is building its brand one customer at a time.
GrowthCurve Episode 18: Hank Sauce
Nearly ten years ago, Matt Pittaluga was assigned a project in his graphic design class at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida to create packaging for a product. Inspired by his roommate Brian Hank Ruxtons homemade hot sauce, he designed what is now the signature fish logo of Hank Sauce. Based on the positive feedback of both the design and sauce, Josh Jaspon entered into the mix and saw an opportunity to capitalize on the sauce for anything that needs something.
This is a story about three college roommates that used their unique skill sets to start a business in the $1.8 billion hot sauce industry. The founding team is compiled of a chef, graphic designer and businessman, in which the three friends play to their strengths to create a brand that truly resonates with consumers. Hank Sauce has a dominant presence in the New Jersey shore towns, but it is these summer vacationers that drive their business nationwide by ordering cases of their hot sauce all year long back in their hometowns. The company has built a brand that is more than a cool name and logo. It is their intimate relationship with their customers that allows Hank Sauce to grow nationally.

Hot Stuff: Talking Hank Sauce
SEA ISLE CITY – Any hot sauce you can find in a surf shop lined up in rows like the next artisan sunscreen or surf wax maybe means its creators have got something figured out.
SEA ISLE CITY – Any hot sauce you can find in a surf shop lined up in rows like the next artisan sunscreen or surf wax maybe means its creators have got something figured out.
For the Jersey Shore guys behind Hank Sauce, which has taken the red-hot red-hot-sauce market by storm in the last few years, having their friends at Heritage Surf sell their sauce was a no-brainer.
So was opening up a restaurant on Landis Avenue in the south end of Sea Isle, at 86th Street. Brian “Hank” Ruxton, after all, was an accomplished and creative chef who started out making the sauce for his friends at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Fla. When Matt Pittaluga, now 28, decided to create a logo and bottle design for a college project, the business model seemed to coalesce like a well-formed set of waves. A third friend, Josh Jaspan, the business major, took hold of the business end.
The sauce is now sold up and down the East Coast, the restaurant is busy, farmers’ market sales are booming, the online business is robust, and their word-of-mouth reputation was such that Di Bruno Bros. in Philadelphia called them to ask to stock the sauce. Basically, they can’t make enough of it.
So you’re not Hank. Does Hank exist?
He’s here. He’s really busy. He couldn’t step away right now.
His name isn’t Hank either?
