When Henry Wagner was a child, his grandparents often took him to eat at Spurwink Country Kitchen, a casual restaurant at 150 Spurwink Road (Route 77) in Scarborough that has been around for 70 years. The restaurant, which is near Crescent Beach, Scarborough Beach and Two Lights State Park, was known for its “classic New England comfort food.” Wagner remembers eating corn chowder and pie – especially pie. “Being a kid, you always remember pie,” he said.
Now Wagner will be the one serving the pie. Wagner, who grew up to become a chef, bought the restaurant (Uncle Don’s Spurwink Country Kitchen in its most recent incarnation) and has been renovating the building himself since February. On June 1, it will reopen as Hank’s, with a 21st-century look, menu and overall concept. “I took the building down to the studs,” Wagner said, “and rebuilt the entire kitchen myself.”
