    If you're looking for the best fried cat fish in town, make sure you visit Crown Chicken & Fish. That's it. That's the review. Just visit them and thank me later.

    Dry, stringy, flat, flavorless chicken tenders (not tender at all!) and bland macaroni salad.
    Peter J.

    I would leave 0 stars if I could. Ordered chicken tenders, onion rings and cole slaw. First, they were out of cole slaw and onion rings, so they substituted potato wedges and macaroni salad. Wedges were ok, macaroni salad was bland. But BY FAR the WORST thing were the chicken tenders. They were BLAND, DRY, FLAT and STRINGY. Obviously just VERY low quality "chicken". I took two bites and was instantly grossed out. I'm no chicken snob, but this was truly just horrible. I tried bites of a couple of other pieces but they were all bad. Just... bad. I'd had frozen chicken from the supermarket that was 10x better for half the price. I was so disappointed, I called the restaurant (I ordered it from Grubhub), and asked if the chicken was fresh. He said, yes, we just made it. I said, no I'm asking if you make it yourself there, or do you buy it frozen? He said oh yeah, we get frozen tenders and reheat them in the fryer. When I told him I thought it was crazy to sell frozen chicken for that amount of money (it was not cheap) he had no reply. When I said I wanted a refund (I was NOT rude, mind you), he said "nope". He said to get Popeye's next time. I pointed out to him that Popeye's is MUCH better than what he served me. I don't know what their regular fried chicken is like, but I can't imagine it's any good, nor am I willing to try it. I'm positive the fish is also frozen disgusting, cheap CRAP. AVOID CROWN CHICKEN AND FISH. Go to a fast-food place, or any of the other dozens of chicken places in the area. They may not be better but they CERTAINLY can't be any worse!!

    Catfish and French Fries

    I feel a bit indifferent about this place. It's my first time coming and we ordered the Catfish with fries and the shrimp with potato wedges. Catfish= seasoned well Fries = OK Shrimp = no flavor Wedges = pretty great The wait wasn't long but I was expecting a bit more.

    If you are looking for a great place for non greasy fried chicken this is the place . Friendly Staff .Very clean and if you want to sit down and eat inside excellent sitting area for indoor dining. We had a 10 pc Chicken with fries . Will definitely go back. If you are traveling on I-95 on a trip. Check Crow Chicken and Fish.

    4 piece tenders with fries

    Been wanting to try this place for quite a while. We ordered some chicken tenders and a fried chicken dinner. All the chicken was fried perfectly and tasted very good. The meals came with choice of side. We got fries and coke slaw. The fries were good and coke slaw was fresh but the jury is still out on whether I'd get it again. Probably not. They had what seemed like a homemade white garlic cream sauce that was very good on everything. I say seemed like because all the other sauces were unfortunately from a big named company and prepackaged (Ken's). Don't ask for ranch. It was horrible. FYI, they also have a Halal menu in addition to the fried chicken and shrimp.

    The chicken smells bad and I went to return the chicken and they didn't give me my money back.

    Drove with a friend to Rhode Island to see a very rare bird. We were successful. Usually, a good lunch would follow a successful bird chase but it was too early. By the time we reached West Haven, we were starving and I spotted this place from 95. My kind of place. My friend ordered a chicken sandwich, fries and an order of hot wings. I had a three piece fried whiting and potato wedges. While there was nothing extraordinary about the sandwich, everything else was delicious, and well fried. The whiting, in particular, was really good, served with lots of lime wedges and a good hot sauce. Glad I spotted this place! Very satisfying.

    Fried Catfish & Fried chicken w/Potato wedges

    I'm a fan of everything I've had but the chicken(Ironic for a chicken & fish place.) Not that the chicken is bad, it's actually good, but i just like the chicken better from other places. The catfish was perfectly fried and seasoned to perfection. The lamb kebab delicious. Potato wedges slightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, just like any foodie will tell you they should be. Looking forward to trying the wings, the tenders, the shrimp, and more sides!

    Grilled Chicken Salad

    YOOO , when I say this was worth the walk from my hotel where I'm staying at , it was worth the walk ! I'm originally from Maryland , stayed in Connecticut for two weeks and literally on my last day here , I tried their chicken salad bowl and I regret not coming here sooner to try other things they had , but Most definitely will come back here if I come back to Connecticut.

    While dropping my laptop off for repairs, I noticed this Raising Cane's on the right hand side of…read morethe street, It was absolutely unexpected since Raising Cane's usually is more out of the state because I remember having it in Pennsylvania. After dropping off my laptop, I got in my car and drove towards the Raising Cane's in Milford. Upon arriving towards the business the street to even enter into Raising Cane's is a hassle. It's a very busy intersection if you end up missing the turn on the main road. Upon entering this business, I was greeted by a young lady at the register and she was already very friendly, I gave my order and I went to go fill up my cup that I got with my "The Box" Combo. After that I sat down and waited for my food, It was a couple minutes but one of the workers was sweeping around the store so I sparked a conversation with them saying that I used to work fast food so I completely understand that they are just trying to keep the place nice and clean as the worker told me prior that she whipped everything down which I enjoyed. After that I was called up but my food wasn't there, so I just waited at the counter and the young lady that was on the register apologized to me about the inconvenience and I basically nodded and understood and let her know it's alright. As im waiting for my food to be given to me, I notice how the kitchen moves, the communication is a little lack luster which is unfortunate because I remember going to a Raising Cane's in Pennsylvania and the communication was on fire in that place. I feel like im giving them the benefit of the doubt since they just opened up recently in Milford. I was given my food and I went to sit down. Fries were cooked very well and crunchy for crinkle cut, which I enjoyed, a little salty but it was good when I dipped it in the signature Cane's sauce (Listen, hands down, best sauce out there). The texas toast was delicious as always and the chicken was decently cooked, one of which was a little hard to chew, but I had 3 good pieces which I couldn't complain about. Overall, I give this place a go around again and I will be returning when I come back to receive my laptop. Whoever actually had time to read this whole review, please please give this place a try, I know they just opened but just remember Connecticut never had a Raising Cane's so enjoy it while its there, the good reviews will potentially make Raising Cane's build more places around Connecticut, so try them out! -AJ

I was actually surprised by how empty/unbusy it was. This is one of their smaller locations, but that didn't bother me since I was grabbing my food to go. The tendies had a nice crispy breading and the chicken was juicy. I went with the Hot seasoning level and thought the heat was just right, definitely spicy, but still enjoyable and flavorful. I also got a banana pudding for my daughter since she loves it. Overall, I had a good experience and would definitely consider stopping back in the future.

    Unfortunately, our experience with Haven Hot Chicken's food truck was extremely disappointing…read more I posted a solicitation on the CT Food Trucks website looking for food trucks for our Jack and Jill event on September 5. In the post, I clearly explained that we were expecting approximately 80-100 guests and that guests would be responsible for purchasing their own food. Amanda from Haven Hot Chicken's food truck reached out to me directly. She provided information about their food truck, confirmed that they were available on September 5, and specifically told me that we would not need to pay a deposit to reserve them. Based on that brief email conversation and a phone call, we considered the food truck booked for our event and planned accordingly. Unfortunately, Haven Hot Chicken never showed up to our event. We had no advance notice that they weren't coming, and we were left scrambling to deal with the situation while hosting our event. When I contacted the company during our event, I was told that Amanda no longer worked for the company, that she had apparently never entered our event into their booking system, and that there was no record of our conversation or the booking. While I understand that employees leave and that mistakes can happen, this was a significant failure in communication and event coordination. We had made plans based on the commitment we received from Haven Hot Chicken, and their failure to properly document the booking left us without the food service we had arranged for our guests. I would strongly recommend getting written confirmation directly from management and verifying that your event is actually on their schedule before relying on Haven Hot Chicken's food truck for an important event. We were extremely frustrated and disappointed by how this was handled, particularly because there was no communication from the company that they would not be attending.

I had never heard of Dave's Hot Chicken before. I ordered a comfort meal, a chicken sandwich with Mac and Cheese and decided to try out a "fun" drink. A blue raspberry slushie with pop rocks! My coworkers said I order food like a child haha! That being said the guy behind the counter was as professional as it gets. The food took about 10 minutes to get to us, impressive since we had a party of three with different orders. The busser was kind and attentive. The chicken absolutely out flavors that of its competitors! Definitely my new favorite chicken sandwich spot! The portions were amazing, just enough to fill me and their super tasty seasoned fries kept me full on the car ride back to work! The Mac and Cheese was baked to perfection and melts in your mouth! Getting to spill the pop rocks onto the blue slushie was such a fun experience, the candy bursting from the cup like a science experiment or magic trick I got to entertain my coworkers with! Not only was the food delicious but we had a great time laughing and conversating while eating it! Overall it was a great experience a fantastic first impression to a niche fast food franchise.

If you enjoy the flavors of Indian food as well as one of those quick service, hot chicken restaurants you probably would enjoy Hot Murga. The chicken sandwich comes in five spice levels from no heat to super hot. I got the standard hot, and it has some kick, but it wasn't overpowering. Then again I enjoy spicy food. I also ordered their spiced mac & cheese. Again, not spicy at all, but flavorful. Also a good portion as I have leftovers for later. I had my food delivered, but this establishment is close to the Yale campus and street parking can be a bit tricky on Howe St. and around Broadway. I've been inside of the space once when it was a different restaurant some years ago, it's not a large space, but I'm pretty sure comfortable if you decided to dine in. If you ever find yourselves at a crossroad between wanting Chick-fil-A and Indian food, this would be a great alternative.

Honestly, I didn't think the Murga Sandwich itself had too much flavor - the fry was good and the chicken was juicy & crispy, it was just a lacking seasoning and even "hot" was not super spicy. The spice itself also tasted very one dimensional - just spicy, with no seasoning. Overall, I was a bit disappointed by the sandwich itself, but would be interested in trying some of their other sauces. The Badmaash Mac & Cheese was the redeeming item of the meal though - this is basically a Mac & Cheese, covered in tikka sauce & their spicy sauce, and topped with fried chicken. It's definitely a unique flavor, and I think the tikka masala sauce went really well with the cheesy mac texture. Definitely seems like the kind of late night out comfort craving, because it is super heavy. p.s. - pro tip, the sandwich itself is $12 but the sliders are $6 and definitely larger than half of a sandwich (probably closer to 2/3rds). So I'd get 2 sliders for $12 instead of a sandwich.

Unfortunately, it ended up being one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. I ordered a chicken sandwich and an order of loaded fries topped with chicken bites around 5:30 p.m. At the time, there were only two orders ahead of mine, so I expected a fairly quick wait. As the minutes turned into an hour, I started to get concerned. Around 6:30 p.m., I asked about my order and was told they were still working on it. Meanwhile, I watched multiple customers who had ordered after me receive their food and leave. By around 7:15 p.m., the employee who had originally taken my order noticed I was still waiting and asked if I had received my food. When I told her I hadn't, it took another 10 minutes before my order was finally brought out. By then, I was already late for another commitment and had to take most of my meal to go. The long wait might have been forgivable if the food had been worth it, but it wasn't. Everything was cold. The chicken sandwich was not only cold but also undercooked. The loaded fries were disappointing as well--the fries themselves were barely edible, the cheese sauce was cold, and the chicken on top was cold too. After waiting nearly an hour and a half, receiving food in that condition was incredibly frustrating. The following morning, I left a review, and management responded. I appreciated that they acknowledged my feedback, but the response was little more than a brief apology stating they strive for excellence and thanking me for bringing the issue to their attention. Given the severity of the experience an excessive wait, cold food, and undercooked chickenI expected more than a generic two-sentence reply. A refund, an offer to remake the meal, or even a gift card to give the restaurant another chance would have shown they genuinely cared about making things right. I understand that restaurants have bad days. Looking back, I probably should have been more assertive and spoken with a manager before leaving, but I was already late and didn't have the time. My hope is that this was an isolated experience and not representative of every Dave's Hot Chicken location. Unfortunately, based on this visit and the lack of meaningful follow-up, I have no desire to return. When a customer waits nearly 90 minutes and is served cold, undercooked food, the appropriate response is to make it right not simply apologize and move on.
