Hank's Dairy Bar Reviews
Took over 1 hr just to get food. Need speed em up all it was hot dog. Fried clam strips milk shake. Coke not same place anymore
Overall a very popular place, lines moved quickly and service was good. I just wanted some clam cakes. Small order was ample and fresh. However, they were way over salted and not a lot of clams. Probably wouldn’t get them again, but would try something else.
went to hanks for the first time in about 4 years, my order was completely wrong...its pretty hard to mess up ice cream but it wasn't even busy
