    Honey hot, honey bbq, peanut butter and jelly
    Alyssa F.

    Drove an hour and a half just to try the 2nd best wings in Connecticut and we were not disappointed. We will be thinking of the peanut butter and jelly wings dipped in fluff forever and will have to be back sooner than later. All of the things were perfectly crispy. Perfect little hole in the wall spot, plenty of indoor seating whether that be at a high top or at the bar. The service was top tier, our waiter was friendly, and on top of our needs. We were immediately greeted when we entered as well. Also bonus the women's bathroom was pristine.

    I came here with some friends and my cousin. My friends said they were going to Dew Drop Inn and invited my cousin and I to come. Also, I wanted to give them another try because I came here years ago, and the wings were good. Their wings start at twelve dollars for six wings, so it's about two dollars a wing. Also, you can't mix the flavors when ordering the wings. You have to order a set of wings for each flavor, which can be expensive. I ordered the Sweet Chili Asian wings, and my other friends ordered from the not-so-basic wing menu, which has outrageous wing flavors. I didn't try their wings, but they said they enjoyed them. I stick with basic wings because I need to know how they taste before proceeding. Since I haven't been there in years, I kept it simple. The wings I ordered were okay, but missing flavor and seasoning. I have noticed places that make wings miss the mark with seasoning. The establishments just fry the wings and put sauce on them. The sauce was delicious, but if the flavor and seasoning are missing, then for me, it misses the mark. The customer service was great, and the waitress was very attentive, outgoing, and friendly

    Unpopular opinion, not the best wings. We tried a bunch of different ones, personally I felt the actual wings were a little dry. The sauces are definitely what makes this place a big deal. As much as I love heat I didn't care for the spiciest sauce, it's a habanero base but it just doesn't have any flavor or maybe vinegar. Like burn your mouth heat but lacked an actual flavor, was more like a salsa. Peanut butter and jelly wings were my favorite, which I never would've thought I would like.

    Great service, excellent mango cocktail! The wings were great as well! Flavorful, crunchy and tangy! The green beans were accompanied by a nice wasabi dip which paired very well. The espresso martini was also quite delicious. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the neighborhood!

    This is the place to check out. The variety of wings is absolutely amazing, but the wings themselves are so delicious. The staff here is amazing with all of their suggestions, whether it is wings or drinks to go along with it. Can't wait to come back from my next visit to this place as it is amazing

    Came here since we were in the area kind of. Also, because I've had some co-workers mention this place. The parking area is very limited and not for trucks. Small compact cars would fit perfectly. But, having a pickup truck I stuck out of it a bit. Walked in with my husband and went to the bar. Got a menu and was a bit overwhelmed with it. It had so many different types of wing flavors you can choose from. Too many that I don't know what to get. We asked the lady behind the bar to help us decide. And two out of the three flavors were decent. I can't remember what the third flavor was. I remember it had jalapeños and I think nacho cheese. Not really my cup of tea. The wings were good. Not the best. But, just good. I guess if you like a wide variety of wings from sweet to savory. This is your place. Because they did have dessert wings. Not sure if I'd like chocolate on my wings. But, like I said they were good not bad. Would I go again. Probably not just because it is an hour and some change drive from home.

    We stopped in last night. This bar is known for the best wings in Connecticut. They have over 110 wing flavors. We went with a not so basic Honey Teriyaki and waffle fries. Our food was good, but nothing extraordinary. The waitresses were sweet and checked in often. Since it was a Tuesday night around 9pm it was pretty quiet. We got our food promptly. They were playing the world series games on several tvs most of the patrons were watching it. They check ID as soon as you walk in. They are very strict about it. I saw them turn away young students because of expired IDs. This is our second time stopping when in the area. Last time it was on a Saturday night and it was insanely busy. We enjoyed our quiet experience much more.

    Garlic bacon wings, so good!

    Hands down the best wings I've ever had. They were nice and meaty so it was filling. I brought my daughter and I felt it was a comfortable family atmosphere as other people brought their kids as well. The service was very friendly! Will definitely go back and highly recommended.

    Not the best picture because we had already dove in :-)

    Absolutely loved this perfect little dive from the moment we walked in. The two bartenders were friendly, welcoming, they just gave off positive energy and good vibes. I had a Bloody Mary which was delicious and I'm extremely picky with my drinks. My boyfriend had a tequila and pineapple. The menu is overwhelming and I literally wanted to try so many different things. We ordered bbq teriyaki wings, sweet chili Asian wings and honey mustard. We also had the drunken waffle fries. The food came out quickly and was delicious. My one complaint would be that I wanted them slightly more well done. I cannot wait to go back to try more of their wing variations and I also want to have the pumpkin cheesecake - yum!

    These are 1 of the top 2 best wings you can get in the state of Connecticut. Whether it's the first or second can be debated. Dew Drop is located in an unassuming, damn-near isolated bar in Derby, CT. From the outside, it looks like a place where bikers would congregate and on the inside it kind of looks like it too, but what you can't see from an initial visual inspection is that they are slinging serious magic in that kitchen. If that's not your vibe, do not be deterred, I promise it's worth it. If you're like my friends and I who have to go out of our way to get here, you're probably here for the wings. Get the wings. They're not cheap and the price increases based on the category of sauce you get. I recommend getting at least two flavors. Speaking of flavors, there are a lot, like way more than you will ever have a chance to try. Many of them are traditional styles and remixed or combination variations of others. My favorite is the honey buffalo. I haven't deviated too far from the wings on the menu, but everything I've had is genuinely delicious. There's solid rotating beer rotation and the staff is always super friendly and accommodating.

    I don't get the hype. We drove about an hour out to this spot after hearing great things about their wings and large selection. Sliders really fell off over the last few years so I've been looking for a new spot. The parking lot is tiny. The place is definitely a dive. Don't mind these things, just letting you know what to expect. Get there by 3 or you won't find parking or a seat! I appreciate their large selection of draft beer with plenty of local breweries on tap. Their food menu is huge considering they're known for their wings. So even if you want something ride there's plenty to choose from. We had pretzel bites to start and the cheese was so good I actually took the leftovers home! On to the wings: Hot buffalo was under sauced and seemed more like mild. Mango Teriyaki BBQ - where's the mango? They were ok. Cajun Garlic Butter was by far the best. Great flavor. A little heat but still nice and garlicky. The wings were average size and not quite as crispy as I'd like but still not a bad wing overall. I guess I expected a lot more and maybe that's why I was disappointed. Prices aren't exactly cheap either! For me, Groggy Frog destroys this place when it comes to wings and has the same dive bar atmosphere. It's also 30 min closer for me. I wouldn't return here, even if I was in the area #disappointed

    The best place for wing! I love the honey garlic butter wings, they are my favorites, and I tried the other wing flavors and they are all delicious, crunchy and strawberries, whenever I have the opportunity to come to Derby I make my stop here. Today I ate the nachos and they are definitely very good, the place is nice and good music. IT IS MANDATORY TO HAVE ID to enter.

    Are the wings gluten free?

    The chicken wing itself is gluten free, it's the sauces that can be at question

    Does the Dew Drop Inn have boneless wings?

    Not boneless wings, per se, but they will put any of the sauces on chicken tenders.

    What flavor is the hands down, number one, set your pants on fire hottest wings your can order?

    Our hottest wing is the suicide wing. It can only be ordered and consumed inside the restaurant. It is brutal and will make you very uncomfortable.

I ordered the paella because I have always wanted to try it, but I don't eat seafood, so I'm glad they had a meat paella. If you're ordering the Pallea, it will take about thirty to thirty minutes, so I would order an appetizer. The wings came out, and they were good, and the sauce was good. My only problem is that many restaurants that make wings seem to miss the seasoning, and the wings were missing flavor. It was fried well, but it was missing flavor. I loved the Meat Lovers Paella, which was packed with flavor. The paella came out in a cast-iron pan, and the meats were cooked well. The steak was moist, full of flavor, and cooked well. The rice was full of flavor and delicious. The Paella had a rich flavor profile, with the prominent tastes of saffron and smoky paprika coming together to create a satisfying and aromatic experience. I would definitely be back for the Paella because the presentation was on point. The customer service was great as the waiter was friendly, outgoing, and very knowledgeable about the menu.
