One of my top 5 for ice cream. Easy to get to, outdoor seating, decent parking, good portions and fair prices. Dog friendly. My only warning is to beware of bees and mosquitoes, but you're in the woods so expect it. Will visit again, will highly recommend!

The onion rings, fries, & clam cakes were crispy and delicious! Service with a smile and so many different flavors of both soft serve & regular ice cream!!
Too many wasps flying around to eat outside... We had to move into our vehicle.

Absolutely love handy hill I've been going my entire life at least once each summer. I've already been once this year and can't wait to go again. They give really good size portions at great prices. 5 of us went and all got something it came to like 26 dollars something like that.

Had the clam cakes and chowder. EXCELLENT. The stuffed quahogs were spicy just the way I like it. The chicken salad on a grilled hot dog bun was tasty. Dessert was a blueberry ice cream cone. Well worth the money.

We always get ice cream here after we visit Horseneck beach for the best wave height/ proximity to Boston ratio. The line for ice cream is always long but it is worth it - they have hard and soft ice cream, frozen yogurt, sundays and lots of toppings. They also have food, but I never had anything.

Wow what a great summertime ice cream spot! Incredible variety of flavors and top notch quality. Seriously delicious. Friendly and patient staff who let you try whatever you want. For those with certain allergies, they even took the time to find the ingredient list of each flavor to find out whether certain flavors had peanuts.

I’m absolutely thrilled to say that my childhood favorite ice cream shop offers various vegan options now! And they are so good specially the cookie dough. Absolutely recommend to vegans or people reducing dairy consumption due to intolerance or wanting to be eco friendly;)

Great for kids, I’d imagine. Too many flavor choices. All of which were underwhelming. My banana split was served in a styrofoam container… our server was awesome, however! Better spots in town, IMO.

⭐⭐⭐ 3 out of 5 stars
The ice cream at Hanley’s was actually really good — nice flavor and texture. But I was disappointed by a couple small things that made the experience feel a bit cheap. They gave me a flimsy plastic spoon that felt like it could snap any second, and the jimmies were just tossed into the cup instead of sprinkled on top. Little details, but they matter. I'd probably go back, but I hope they step it up a bit.

Handy Hill Creamery has soft serve ice cream, vegan (coconut milk based) Ice cream, Bliss ice cream, as well as, Gifford's ice cream. They also make their own homemade waffle cones. They also have sugar cones and regular cones.
This Creamery also sells regular meals as well, but the kitchen closes at 7 p.m.
The Creamery stays open until 9:30 p.m.

I sometimes head for ice cream after my cemetery visit (Beech Grove) is nearby. Lots of ice cream flavors and selections. I've never had food but it certainly smells good...what isn't good fried or grilled?
Dog friendly since it's just window service and picnic tables. Plentiful parking. Dirt parking lot so wheelchair access with a bit of effort.

Alright so this place is a reminder of what the world used to be like. It was affordable and well made. My hot dog didn’t cost me $12. It was grilled just right! There is plenty of nice outdoor seating.
My only issue was the bathroom. It was a portable potty that was disgusting. It would have been better to offer not bathroom at all.
