Clams Cakes are fried dough with 1 or 2 clams bits in each and not much clam flavor. They forgot the onions we asked for on the burger. Taco salad was ok. We decided to skip trying the ice cream after dinner.

To be fair my review is solely based on my sundae. I was overly disappointed with my sundae and I just thought I’d share with other potential customers. When you order a sundae, you expect that it will be a large size with yummy ingredients, it didn’t have either. I paid like $7 for a small ice cream basically, not a true sundae. The atmosphere was cool though, I’ll try the food next time.

It's the perfect New England dairy bar, great portions, delicious clam fritters and ice cream to die for. A CT/Plainfield staple.

Haven't been to Hanks in 20 years or so. Used to hang here on Friday and Saturday nights back in my teens/ 20s. Burgers and ice cream all the time. As I got older, I moved more toward some of the seafood. Brought my kids today since we were visiting the area. Got the whole bellies, Mkt price $27, ooof, clam cakes, a burger, and chicken burger. Everything was good. The clams were excellent! The crab cakes were not good. They had a funny seasoning in them and let a flour after taste. We ended with some dipped cones, yummy. That was the only thing we didn't like. Road side dairy bar. Little game room, some picnic table, and a playground in the back. Friendly staff. It's a New England staple.
