    This is the new establishment that moved into the space where DiBella's used to be. Very vibrant and clean atmosphere, friendly and dutiful waitstaff. I liked the food overall. My top loaded fries were more enjoyable than I thought they would be. Chicken was juicy, tender and flavorful. Fries were crispy and well seasoned. Pickles were crunchy. Kale slaw was creamy and savory with fresh vegetables. Cheese sauce and Dave's sauce were both delicious. Next time I'm getting a large. The "chocolate" shake was a letdown, however. There was barely any chocolate flavor; it was 99% vanilla. The shake was decent for what it was, but why be skimpy on the chocolate? Despite the underwhelming shake, I liked my meal a lot. I look forward to trying their spice levels in the future. Great food.

    Dave's just opened in the former location of Dibella's Subs in Hamden and this was our first time…read moretrying their chicken. It was delicious!! If you don't like spicy, there are options to get no spice, light mild, or mild. I had the medium which wasn't overly spicy either but perfect for my liking. There's also hot, extra hot, and Diablo if you really like it HOT. The fries alone were a 10/10; perfectly seasoned and crispy. They had plenty of staff working and the cashier explained the menu to us since it was our first time. We did have to wait a bit for our order but it was worth it. They clearly to a great job here! I recommend giving it a try. (They also have milkshakes and slushees which we did not order)

    I went to Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time thinking, "Let me try this new restaurant" at the…read moreHamden location. Let me tell you, it was one of the worst decisions I've made. I only ordered a 10-piece chicken meal with fries, and somehow it took over 30 minutes just to get my food. The staff had no idea where my order was. I literally had to ask, "Hey, are you guys even making my food?" After that, it still took another 10 minutes. Either this location is poorly managed or the staff seriously needs better training because they clearly don't know what they're doing. Very disappointing experience. I will never eat here again. I only put one star because it won't even let me put zero stars.

    Amazing place! I have driven by so many times and had to try after seeing the great reviews!…read moreHad the chorizo bowl with poached egg. DELICIOUS! Everyone else as so nice as well!

    Literally THE BEST BREAKFAST PLACE ANYWHERE! I'm giving 5 stars, which I only reserve when…read moreeverything is phenomenal. Today was my 4th time coming here and it did not disappoint. We tried to get in yesterday but it was super crowded and we didn't want to wait amongst a lot of people (too much sickness going around). However, I wish we had gone, because our breakfast wasn't anywhere as good as today. I started with a Carmel latte which was really good. I had the croissant French toast which was utterly amazing! I have to say that I am NOT a breakfast person. I'm not a fan of eggs, but I will eat them and I hate to start the day with a sugar bomb! However, the croissant French toast was a true delight. It came topped with fresh, not frozen sugary stuff, beautiful juicy strawberries, a nice light whipped cream, and a not so sugary chocolate sauce on the side. It did have a lot of whipped cream so I loved that to the side. It was served with syrup but I didn't use any. The flavor of the croissant with the strawberries was enough for me. I barely dipped it in the chocolate. It was delectable! I've also had their Irish Benny on another trip which was amazing and the pumpkin pancakes. There is NO other breakfast place where I cannot make a decision because there are so many delicious items to choose from. And, I know that anything I choose is going to be utterly amazing. Their portions are big and their prices are very fair for what your get. I felt like I had a whole pint of strawberries on my croissant. My husband had the meat lovers omelet with oatmeal. He said everything was perfect. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. This is a typical breakfast place. It's not fancy but friendly and clean. And everyone seems happy! The kind of place I like. You have to get here early or you'll have a wait. I say the wait is well worth it. We went at 8:30 on a holiday and were able to be seated immediately. That's the first time that's happened though. I want to try their lunch, but their breakfast is so amazing, I would probably order breakfast for lunch which is something I NEVER do! If we had this place near us (we're from Philly), it would be the death of me! I'd be going all the time.
