Proudly serving over five million customers since 1971, Hanc's Fries is a true Bowmanville chip truck tradition. Our famous fresh-cut fries are made from locally sourced potatoes, peeled and cut daily, delivering the kind of classic flavour that has kept generations coming back.
It all began with a simple idea after spotting a chip truck for sale in Lindsay in 1971. What started as a small weekend operation—taking turns running the truck and peeling potatoes—quickly became something special. In those early days, just two 50-pound bags of potatoes were enough to get through a day.
Today, Hanc's serves thousands of customers and goes through nearly 3,000 pounds of potatoes every weekend. From fresh-cut fries and poutine to burgers, fish and chips, and more, we continue to serve Bowmanville with the same commitment to quality, tradition, and great food that started it all.
Everything we serve is made right here, in-house, with care and attention to quality you can taste in every bite. Our smoked beef is slow-cooked on site to bring out rich, bold flavour, our pulled pork is prepared fresh and tender from start to finish, and our burgers are handcrafted using our own recipes—not pulled from a freezer. From prep to plate, we take pride in doing things the traditional way, ensuring every item is fresh, flavourful, and made just for you.
