    Soupy Mac and cheese w/ fried chicken.

    I'm so mad at myself bc I was gonna get wings at my normal spot... PARADISE PIZZA, but I said let me check out Cheeks. BIG MISTAKE. Mac and cheese bowl? Soupy. Became more soupy as it sat. Garlic Parm wings? Yuck. The sauce was good...chicken wasn't cooked enough. Soft and raw looking. And to think I waited 20 min AND asked to have the wings WELL DONE‼ And they had the nerve to throw in an extra wing. PARADISE PIZZA. I APOLOGIZE BC I KNEW TO CHECK Y'ALL. Worst munchie experience...EVER‼

    We stopped by there for dinner and ordered a chicken wrap and chicken and waffles. I thought the wrap was ok, it was a traditional wrap with pieces of chicken and the different sauces to dip in. The chicke and waffles were decent, the chicken was good a little overcooked, but had good flavor. I would definitely give it another try if I'm in the mood for fried chicken. The lady at the desk was friendly and always checking on us that the food was good.

    Terrible

    Honestly I dont know about the food but the SERVICE WAS TRASH!!!!!! I mean woah!!! We walked in as soon as they opened and NOONE GREETED US!! After about six minutes of calling for assistance this lady pictured below walks in and and just continued to ignore us!! Too many places in CT to eat to put up with terrible service!!

    Yummmmmmm....... the flavor King is here ! The sauce choices alone are great . They have regular honey BBQ & mustard to Korean BBQ, Carolina reaper, Jamaican jerk and more in between for your dipping pleasure or sauce on your wings. They have waffles with toppings and loads of side items you just need to try like battered mushrooms, fried ravioli,creamy mac n cheese , corn Fritters to name a few . Wings or tenders you can't go wrong picking a meal out here . Flavor packed and worth the 15 min waiting time . The mac n cheese was pretty good nice and creamy with plenty of cheeses just needed pepper . I ordered a 12 piece wings plain with a few sauces to try. My favorite was the Korean BBQ & honey mustard.

    6 Pieces Huge Crispy Wings

    Huge crispy and juicy Buffalo wings cooked perfectly with mango habanero sauce which lacked the heat I expected. Picked up a 6 piece with a small corn fritters. The fritters were awesome, I was surprised by these pure sweet and crispy gobs of goodness and a bargain for just $12.75. You know I will be going back but will try to find a little more heat.

    Ordered chicken and waffles - specifically 4 wings and a waffle.

    Ordered chicken and waffles - specifically 4 wings and a waffle. I revived 4 wing pieces - 2 flats and 2 drums. The waffle is underwhelming. I just paid full price for a kids meal!! Never again.. The wingettes aren't too bad but the waffle was undercooked. *sigh*

    I've wanted to try Hard Hat's Doob wings since I heard about them. They're seasoned, Buffalo-sauced…read moreand fried, and then finished on a grill. One of the more unique and famous wings in CT. I was driving in Wallingford and noticed the Hard Hat sign. I immediately changed my plans and decided to order a small Doob Wings. There are two other Hard Hats btw. Hard Hat has a neighborhood bar and restaurant vibe. Not fancy. But fine. The name is Hard Hat after all. LOL Hard Hat seemed to be running on a small crew around Saturday lunch. One person was working the bar and all the tables. She was hustling and service was reasonable considering. From the time I ordered 6 Doob wings, though, it took me about 25 minutes to get them even though there were only three other small groups there. Whether or not you like the Doob wings, largely will depend on whether you like char-grilled chicken. I didn't love the char flavor or outer texture. The inner texture was very good and tender. Also I could have used more sauce. The sauce more or less became a grilled coating. I was happy to try the Doob wings. I respect that they went for something different. I didn't connect with them like some people do. Four Stars

    Really enjoyed trying out the hard hat cafe a few weeks ago! This place definitely has a lot of…read moreregulars and I can tell for how chill and nice the ambiance was! We actually found out while we were there that they were doing music bingo which gave winners free drinks, food, and discounts as well, which was nice a touch! We went for happy hour and scored these impeccable Cosmo's for $7 each and they were delicious! We went for their loaded nachos, fried mozzarella sticks and some of their famous wings! We got the doob style (fried then grilled) along with their garlic parm ones and they were quite amazing! I've never had a Doob style but I absolutely loved it, between the char, the hints of buffalo flavor, I'm dying to see how I can make these wings myself! Would absolutely return here in a heartbeat.

    Back after 8 months…read more ​Rating: (3/5) ​I stopped by the Hamden location in the plaza right around 10:50 AM. I was the only person in the store, but it still took about 16-17 minutes for a 10-piece to come out. While that's not a deal-breaker, it felt like a long stretch for being the first customer of the day with an empty shop. ​The Wings: I went with the Mango Habanero but got the sauce on the side so I could control the heat. This is definitely a winner if you're a fan of spicy food--it's got a great kick and just the right amount of sweetness. If you're sensitive to heat, this might be a bit much for you, but for me, it hit the spot. ​The Quality: The wings were cooked thoroughly and had a nice, golden crisp. One odd thing: the aroma coming from the bag had a distinct "fish fry" smell, almost like the oil was shared with fried fish (even though they don't serve it here). Luckily, it didn't affect the taste at all--the flavor was solid. ​Final Verdict: Overall, I'd give the wings themselves a 6.5/10, and the experience a 6/10. It's not bad for fast-food chicken, just be prepared to wait a bit even if you're the only one there.

    After having brunch, I stopped by WingStop in Hamden to try out their 70 cents boneless wing deal…read more It's $7.49 for 10 wings which you can get two flavors, 1 flavor for 5 wings. I opened them straight after they were given to me to eat them hot. I got the flavors Original Hot & Hot Honey Rub. I will say my favorite was the Hot Honey. I loved the crunch and the sweet and savory flavor it had to offer. The Hot ones were okay, just an average hot wing sauce. Their ranch has been hyped for a while and for my first time it wasn't that bad. I would definitely go back again and try some other menu items. I waited about 25 minutes for my order so I would say service is slow but maybe it was a busy day. The inside is has a small area to eat if that's what you're looking to do. Pretty clean from what I saw.
