#18, Harry’s Place, Colchester

A classic, old-time drive-in…

Harry’s has been around for generations. I may have stopped here once or twice over the years but doubt I had any ice cream. It is as much a classic American drive-in as it gets…hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries and ice cream!

They serve Giffords’s hard ice cream and offer about 20 flavors in cups, wafer or sugar cones and milkshakes. I had a small coffee milkshake. The ice cream is very tasty but the shake was a bit thin. Maureen always gets something novel. She had toasted coconut on a sugar cone, which was not exactly what you would think. Vanilla ice cream with toasted coconut and mini-chocolate chips, which combined was fantastic and refreshing.

All in all a good choice for Sunday afternoon.
