5 Stars – A Local Favorite That Never Disappoints Hank’s Dairy Bar has been my go-to spot for years, and it never fails to deliver a great experience from start to finish. Whether you’re stopping in for a full meal or just craving a sweet treat on a summer day, Hank’s is the place to be. During my most recent visit, I ordered the clam cakes, clam chowder, fish and chips, and a cheeseburger — and as always, everything was delicious. The clam cakes were crispy and flavorful, the chowder was hearty and rich, and the cheeseburger was cooked perfectly with that classic, no-frills taste that hits the spot every time. The fish and chips dinner came with a fresh roll, coleslaw, and tartar sauce. My only small complaint is the portion size of the tartar sauce — if you enjoy a generous amount of s

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.

As I have stated previously, this is my favorite type of restaurant, harkening back to my childhood in rural Vermont. Today is sunny and warm... a perfect day for a country drive and a perfect chance for me to try Hank's. I came for lunch this trip and was not disappointed. The food is excellent, the portions generous, the service fast and friendly, and the prices reasonable. Hank's is a place I will want to return to again and again!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Lisa Odelius · Jul 2024

First time here. Ordered chowder and fish & chips Dble bacon cheeseburger Med fries and 2 med drinks. Came to $32 and change (if you pay cash you get a discount) Food came in a reasonable amount of time, they were pretty busy but they seem to have a pretty good working rhythm. We sat in our truck and ate our supper. The chowder was absolutely delicious 😋 The burger and fries were OK according to my grandson (he said Ruby Tuesday smash burgers were better) my fish and chips was OK, the fish batter could have a tad more seasoning. It came with a delicious and super soft roll, a lemon wedge, tarter sauce, fries (good but I like mine a little crispier) and coleslaw. The coleslaw was super interesting, very peppery and zero vinegar. At first I was a little taken aback but, as I ate it, it wa

I always get excited for Hanks. Consistently great food, the outdoor space is well kept, and it is family friendly. I recommend the clam dinner and the chili dogs.
