Fore!
After driving around looking a mini-golf place with my buddy Jim and striking out, we headed to the border town of Plainfield and an ice cream establishment that has been around since 1957. To say Hank’s Dairy Bar is a legend would be an understatement. We arrived around 1:00 pm on a Friday and the place was hopping with multiple people enjoying lunch and ice cream.
Hank’s is far more than just an ice cream place. They have a full compliment of hamburgers, hotdogs, sandwiches, fries, and more. They have a wide variety of ice cream choices with shakes, cones, cups and sundaes with all the toppings and offer a wide variety of hard ice cream flavors and soft serve. And they are very moderately priced.
Their staff is friendly and helpful. As the place was hopping we had to wait about 10 minutes for our ice cream but their staff was entertaining. I had a coffee milkshake with a scoop of chocolate and Jim (AKA Molesley) had a strawberry shake that was rich in color and fruit. Both were delicious!
Regardless of whether you missed your tee time or are just looking for a pleasant place to stop when exploring eastern Connecticut, Hank’s is your place. Fore!!!
