My summer-long search for Connecticut roadside eateries led me to a beautiful location today and some tasty food! Scottie's Frozen Custard offers a variety of lunch options at a decent price. Sadly, I did not save room for a frozen custard, so I guess I must return soon... ;) Today, I ordered the 6 ounce Angus burger, Fries Frenzy (seasoned, breaded fries), and large soft drink. Honestly, this would be my new nomination for best burger in Connecticut. And possibly best french fries, as well. Delicious! It came to $16 and change, which is comparable, given the larger burger. Eat here once, and you will be a customer for life!!!

I was suprised on the amount of flavors they had for soft serve. Usually soft serve is only vanilla or chocolate or swirl. The list is endless and delicious!

Came in recently with a large group in a Tuesday evening. There was a lot of us, and the service counter got through our orders quickly and food didn't take long either. I had the shrimp burger (very tasty and unique, the Mango salsa was very nice), fries, and a custard. As expected, the custard was super yummy. They were out of chocolate - my go to- so I decided to live on the wild side and get Pina Colada. Would definitely get it again! Service was friendly, plenty of parking, and lots of tables under a covered pavillion. Excellent snack shack.

Food was good. Service efficient. Cute set up. Lemon short bread flavor of the day and a Tommy dog with sautéed onions.

What a fun, casual place to get great food. This place harkens back to the roadside eateries of the past, where they took pride in what they offered and you felt like you were being taken care of by people that loved their jobs and their patrons. The frozen custard is AMAZING but all of their food offerings are really good.... They simply do not cut corners on quality which many places like this will do. They want you to have a good experience and come back again and again. They absolutely accomplish this every time we go there!

I just happened to be driving and stopped in for lunch and had a burger and I'll be damned if it wasn't the best burger I've had in my life.

Scotties is the best roadside eatery in south eastern Connecticut. Food is sumptuous; service is friendly and the price is moderate.

Is your custard safe if we have a nut allergy? Thanks

Are there any vegan options at Scottie's? I'm leaning towards no.

Hi, we do have veggie burgers which are quite good according to those who like them. Thank you!

Epic double burger and fries - a true classic!…read more Had the double burger with fries and it was absolutely epic! The patties were thick, juicy, and packed with flavor - exactly what you'd hope for from a historic Connecticut drive-in like Harry's Place. The fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned, making the whole meal a standout. This place has been around for over 100 years for a reason. Great portions, no-frills deliciousness, and that old-school vibe. If you're craving a solid burger and fries (or their famous clams/hot dogs), this is the spot. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area! Highly recommend - 10/10 on the burger front.

I still think Harry's place is overrated…read more First of all, it's cash only, but don't forget there's atm right there at the counter, $2.50 per transaction The milkshakes were nine dollars a pop, and my friend and I each had a hotdog at 3.99 each The milkshakes were average of best typical of any place you get a chocolate milkshake The hotdog were small, toasted on a New England roll, which was buttery and pretty good They put the mustard and relish under the hotdog. This is kind of weird. I don't think this is a New England thing or a Connecticut thing. Had I known there was mustard and relish at a condiment counter around the corner, I would've just got a plain dog. The place gets busy for lunch and there's only one order taker. So the line can get out of that testy, especially if you're in a hurry. I know many say this is an institution and I shouldn't be speaking negatively about it, but it is what it is it's overrated. Yes it's been around for a long time, but it's super expensive for a hot dog and milkshake. I see no value here. I should've went up and around the corner to that bar that serves those really great lobster rolls. Colchester is a beautiful town, with many wonderful choices for a place to eat. I don't think this is one of them.

Stopped in for a late lunch yesterday and were greeted immediately and told we could sit anywhere…read more Seating is comfortable with a combination of tables and booths. Our server came and took our drink orders and provided us with menus. We chose the pretzel sticks that come with beer cheese. Entrees were the chicken tenders with barbecue sauce and the heifer burger minus the jalapeños. Strawberry margaritas completed the order. The pretzel sticks are served piping hot, you can see the steam coming off them as you dip them in the great tasting cheese. The are soft any nicely salted, just the right amount of salt. The chicken tenders arrived covered in a great tasting barbecue sauce. Baby carrots, a side of extra barbecue sauce, and blue cheese completed the dish. There are plenty of tenders in the order, enough so that we took some home for another meal. The barbecue sauce was nice and tangy and complemented the tenders perfectly. The heifer burger was served on a nice soft bun alone with crispy bacon and gorgonzola cheese. Could have had more cheese for my taste but no complaints on what was done with it. The burger was cooked a perfect medium rare and it was well seasoned and very large. It came with a large portion of French fries and pickles on the side. The fries were very crispy and stayed hot throughout the meal. This was definitely a great meal. Service was very good as our server was very attentive and took good care of us. Been here before and we'll be going back. A great place with a large enough menu that everyone should find something they will like.

We are in this area from time to time and we've stopped by this location in our travels. During the…read morewarmer months, we might take a to-go order and eat it on the 'town green' nearby for a picnic lunch. I love these older New England town greens. It seems like the drive thru line is always veerrrryyy long. I just walk inside. Why idle my engine for twenty minutes (or whatever) to pick up a meal. Inside I'm usually first or second in line and have my food in minutes. The entrance situation on this building is odd. You really can not see it. Located on the side of the building, facing the main road, you have to cross through the drive-thru line of cars (or park on the left side of the building), follow the sidewalk toward the drive-thru, bear left and then look to your left to see the door. We placed a rather large (seven people) on-line order over the summer and they did manage to forget an item, so I get how that process needs to improve at this location. We also got an item that was not 'ours' in that order. Perhaps a case of 'wrong bag' in a busy kitchen? Whatever, the person without a burger was unimpressed as was the person who paid for the sandwich. Figuring out how to stop this madness definitely needs to happen. When we order inside for just a person or two, they do 'get it right'. There are napkins, straws and a couple other items located in an area just past the cashier. Whether you are dining-in, or taking-out, you need to grab your own items from this area. The staff are pleasant even if not the most interactive. Last visit I had their fish value meal. I must say, this fish is good. The outside is surprisingly crispy, you can really taste the cheese on there, nice bun and it was well constructed (as in, everything lined up, my cheese wasn't half off the patty for example). I will definitely get this fish sandwich any day ahead of some other fast food option. Way better texture and taste. I like Wendy's and am glad I have this option. On days I need to 'chew and screw' this is my preferred option.
