MY REVIEW: I have been going to Hank's since I was about seven years old. My parents took us every Sunday evening for years. My absolute favorites are the black walnut, butter pecan, and texas oreo. Now that I have my own family, we visit at least once a week. My daughter absolutely loves ice cream!!!!!!

MY REVIEW: Mr. and Mrs. Hanks are very warm and welcoming. They have a large variety of delicious flavors to choose from, you may have a little trouble deciding between the buttered pecan, banana pudding, and apple pie(seasonal). These are three of my favorite flavors. There are actual chuncks of toppings, not bits and pieces... To be honest you can keep it simple and choose chocolate or vanilla, and still be more than satisfied!

MY REVIEW: Great little place. Very reasonable prices. We tried the butter pecan and strawberry this evening. Both were wonderful. Will go back next weekend to try the choc malt shake someone recommended below! It's important to support the local places -- so go try Hank's. I wish they didn't use styrofoam cups but that won't stop me from going back.

MY REVIEW: This ice cream is marvelous. Mr. Hank is a great gift to humankind. Thank you for choosing him Mrs. Hank. Every flavor is better than the last. The lemon custard, the cinnamon ice cream, the butter cream....they are all ecstacy. The ice cream and the maker are the strong points. The weak point is that they are not open 24 hours a day and 365 days of the year. I want a Hank's Ice Cream location in my living room! I give Hank's a million stars!

MY REVIEW: I love everything about Hank's. Hank and his wife have created a special place here. You can always look for a big greeting from them both. They know I come in once a month and they know what I want. It is the Orange Chocolate Chip!

When Hank's is not open I almost go into a crisis trying to figure out what to substitute.

MY REVIEW: Hank and his wife make you feel like you are part of the family. The ice cream is fantastic, especially the Banana Pudding, but Hank also makes the best chocolate malt in town!

MY REVIEW: Hank's is AWESOME!

While it may not be the "trendiest" ice cream store you visit--the service and quality far exceed any other.

The specialized flavors melt in your mouth and leave you wanting more.

Strong Points at Hank's: FAST friendly service, wonderful fresh homemade ice cream, comfortable atmosphere

Weak Point: Very Little Seating Space (But for ice cream this good-I will stand!)

Specialties: Banana Pudding Ice Cream

My favorite ice cream at Hank's is most definitely the Banana Pudding Ice Cream! It is to die for...:-)

Entrees: No entrees...but sundaes, and other ice cream concoctions.

DESSERTS: The entire menu..You are also able to get a pint or gallon of Hank's to take home with you.

AMBIENCE: VERY comfortable Sunday dinner feel. The employees make you feel welcome and appreciated.

My first visit made me return even though it is way out of my way. I had a great time at Hank's.

I will definitely recommend Hank's..Two thumbs up! (Especially on a Sunday after church :-) )

MY REVIEW: Oh My! Hanks is absolutely wonderful. My aunt brought 4 pints of Hank's Ice Cream to a family gathering. I tried the lemon flavor and the butter pecan and I have never had anything to come close.

MY REVIEW: I have been going to Hank's for a couple of years, ever since I found out about it. I bring my relatives there when they are in town. Hank and his wife are very pleasant and friendly. I always went for the Butter Pecan each time, until I tried the Grape Nuts ice cream. All I can say is OHMYGOD!!! The Grape Nuts ice cream is to die for. I will be back again and again and again!!!!

MY REVIEW: I would like to say that Mr. Wiggins which I have been calling him since I was a little girl(Hank) to you all has the best ice cream in the world. The Banana Pudding is my favorite in a hot waffle cone. The sweetest people I ever known, always smiling. Mr. Wiggins thanks for kind heart and keep up the best ice cream in the world. May God continue to bless you and your family and the business. Diane

MY REVIEW: Although our family only just discovered Hank's this summer, we now visit this wonderful shop at least twice a week. The ice cream is superb, and is a welcome alternative to the larger and smaller chains in our city. Hank and his wife love their business and their customers, and it shows!! This is a terrific family-run business with an outstanding product that makes someone feel like they are in a small town rather than in the 4th largest city in the U.S. We will never buy ice cream from anyone else besides Hank's!!!

MY REVIEW: My wife and I have been going to Hank's for several years. Truly the best ice cream around. We always get the buttered pecan. All I need to do is mention Hank's, my wife will immediately say, "When"? In addition, Hank and his employees are as genuine as his ice cream. Real people, Real Ice Cream. Try it.

MY REVIEW: I have to agree with these other reviewers. Hank's does make fantastic ice cream! We stopped by just to take a look after a very large meal at a nearby restaurant but could not resist trying Hank's ice cream. They have been around for 18 years and I can not believe I had not searched it out before. I had had the buttered pecan and it was great ... not too sweet and had lots of pecans. My friend had the apple pie and said it was very good too.

The person working there (Hank's wife or daughter I assume) was a real joy to talk to.

I will be going back!

MY REVIEW: This is the BEST place to go for ice cream, HANDS DOWN!!! Hank is always extremely accomadating. He even made a flavor they were out of from scratch just for me. I love it!!! The only draw back is that there aren't more all around the world!!!
