"Delicious custard!! We only get to stop in a few times a year, as the drive is over an hour, but it's always worth it!! Hank's always has the sweetest girls working the windows and orders are always correct. We love Hank's! Cons: they only accept cash (although they have an ATM on site) and they don't have a restroom available."

"I’ve been coming here for the past 20 years. I love Hank’s soft serve and also they’re shakes and sundaes. I just recently had their turtle sundae which was so good. Ask their sundaes come with a lot of fudge (which I prefer). You can’t go wrong with the classic soft serve in a cone though. Be sure to stop by this staple of an establishment."

"I was in town for business and asked the account I was visiting if there was any local places I should check out while in town. They recommended Hank's. They even knew the flavor of the day which was Cappuccino. It's a roadside Custard place and all I can say is WOW. I ordered the Cappuccino as did my travel companion. Review= ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it was stellar! super tasty and refreshing. Probably the best Custard I've ever had! I'm from Pittsburgh and will totally put this on my great reason to take a road trip list. After my first visit, I would totally recommend this place."

"Gotta be good if the have been doing it since 1952. The old machines make some great frozen custard. Only bad thing was I couldn’t keep up with the melt. The ground and my shirt looked like a chocolate accident victim."

"Iconic, landmark place in Meadville! A must-visit place if you're in the area. We visited in early April after lunch, and it was still cold too, not exactly ice cream weather for most, but we wouldn't miss it. It came highly recommended by my mother-in-law, who grew up in Meadville and did not disappoint. Even with the cooler weather and time of day, there was still a small line when we arrived, and more people showed up afterward as well. All good signs of good food. The line went quickly, and our order was taken quickly as well. Our order came out pretty quickly, in about 10 minutes or just less. Everything was amazing! Loved it so much I forgot to take pictures of the ice cream order for the review. I got the hot fudge brownie sundae, and it was aaaaammmmmaaazzzziiiinnnnggg! The frozen custard it is renowned for is every bit as good as we were told. Absolutely wonderful taste and quality. Made the old-fashioned way. There is no dining in. Either you eat in your vehicle or on outdoor, unsheltered picnic tables, but that doesn't matter. I could imagine this pace being packed every day and night during the summer! Highly recommended to visit if you're in the area. We will definitely return when we visit Meadville again."

"Road side walk up only custard shack. They have a couple benches to sit but you'll probably sit in your car or grab n go. They have various sundaes, floats and cones with their soft custard. Very tasty. Worth the stop. Don't let a long line fool you, it moves fairly quick."
