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)

When we brought the food to the table I realized that they gave me the small buffalo mac that I ordered, along with a large buffalo mac instead of the loaded fries that I ordered. All of this food cost more than $50, which is not cheap! When I went up to the counter to let them know they gave me the wrong food and the workers were like "ok" and didn't want to do anything to make it right. When I asked for ranch they told me they'd have to charge me!! We went to a fast food restaurant for a reason, and I didn't have time to wait for them to correct the order and I wasn't going to pay for ranch. I complained through Dave's Hot Chicken website and received a text from the manager at 12:30 AM (!!!) apologizing for the "mix-up" and thanking me for my understanding. Unprofessional conduct and garbage food. Don't go here!!

I've been wanting to try HHC for quite a while because I have a friend who raves about it. I…read morefinally placed an order online to give it a shot and I'm so glad I did! I ordered THE sandwich combo with mild spice, mac & cheese, and of course banana pudding for desert. My sandwich was so juicy, tender, and crunchy! It was perfectly topped with just the right amount of coleslaw, pickles and rob sauce. I got the mac & cheese without spice just to try it, and honestly wasn't impressed. While very creamy, the cheese left a funny after taste I didn't like. Now the banana pudding on the other hand, that was amazing! It reminded me of southern style banana pudding with hints of cinnamon. My husband picked up the order for me. It was ready quickly and the servers were very friendly from what he said. It's definitely a take out place, as there is very little seating. I will gladly order from here again because I'm already thinking about that chicken sandwich again!

I've lived in North Haven for 2.5 years and finally tried hot chicken for the first time at Haven…read moreHot Chicken. I went with the mild sandwich, and it was very good! To me, it tasted like a perfect blend of Chick-fil-A and Popeyes--great texture with excellent crunch, and the chicken was moist and full of flavor. The fries were just okay; the crunchier ones were tasty, but they were mixed with some softer, less crispy pieces. The banana pudding was a nice treat too--definitely good. What really stood out was the exceptional staff. They were super friendly and even gave me some complimentary items since it was my first time trying hot chicken. That's fantastic customer service and great business! The only downsides: The place is very small, so don't plan on sitting down to eat if you're with more than one person (it's mostly takeout vibes). Also, the pricing feels expensive--the sandwich alone is $13.49, and adding the combo (with fries and a drink) bumps it up another $4.75. On the bright side, there are plenty of fries to share with someone else. Overall, I highly recommend it for the chicken and service, especially if you're craving Nashville-style hot chicken locally.

I needed a quick bite on my way back from a weekend in NYC, decided to hop off 91 and landed in a…read morelittle town off the beaten path, called Wallingford CT. I wound up in a strip mall and chose a restaurant called Cheek's Chicken and Waffles. One of the featured items on the menu are chicken wings. I chose buffalo style and let me tell you, they were some of the best wings I've ever tasted. Buffalo sauces can be tricky, either too hot or band but the sauce was perfectly seasoned and my onion rings were crispy, fresh and delicious. If you're ever on the 91 and see the exit for Wallingford, do your self a favor and stop by Cheek's Chicken and Waffles and have their Buffalo wings, you won't be sorry! The owner even treated me to a bottle of water!

It almost tasted like they made too much and that was left leftovers and they just threw it back in the fryer. The chicken came out very oily and greasy. The mac & cheese was really creamy and was good on the first night. After heating it the second night it didn't taste as good. The fries were about the best thing. A Cajun style crispy curly fry. It was great for a late night snack, but I wouldn't use this as a regular dining option. I won't be back.

I found this place while randomly looking on DoorDash. They had a happy hour special, so I decided…read moreto check them out. 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.

A fun take on fried chicken, but with "Indian" flavors. I got the Murga Sandwich (hot) and…read moreBadmaash's Mac & Cheese (medium). 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.

-- 3/5 My wife,…read moredaughter, and I visited Dave's Hot Chicken in Milford today, and overall, the experience was a mixed bag -- especially when comparing it to the newer location in Hamden. First Impressions & Cleanliness Right away, a few things threw us off. The floors were sticky in several areas. The table we sat at hadn't been cleaned -- leftover crumbs, empty ketchup packets, and general debris. The bathroom smelled strongly of urine, to the point that it reminded me of NYC project hallways. These first impressions affected the overall vibe of the visit. Order Pickup I ordered online, and the screen showed my food as ready. But when I went to the counter, the staff told me they were still plating it. Not a big deal -- I waited another five or six minutes before being called. No complaints there. Food Quality We ordered: The 2-slider + fries meal to split The 10-piece bites + fries for our daughter Flavor-wise, the food was okay, but the attention to detail wasn't consistent: My slider came with barely any slaw and no kale at all, even though it should include kale slaw, pickles, and Dave's sauce. I had to go back up and ask for slaw on the side, which they provided promptly, and then I fixed the sandwich myself. The sliders still had decent flavor, and the chicken was juicy, but the lack of freshness and proper build took away from the experience. Overall The Hamden location was noticeably cleaner and more organized. The Milford restaurant felt a bit neglected during our visit, which overshadowed what could've been a solid meal. Rating: 6/10 -- or 3/5 stars. We'd consider returning, but definitely hope for a cleaner environment next time.

The person behind the counter was very kind and helped us figure out their menu. We ordered a couple of sliders - one hot and one no spice - and a mild tender.

And least the quality held up over the hype from other major chains that open up. Not a frequent customer to any major chain, I prefer trying local places.
