My husband decided to try this place, as he loves hot dogs despite my warnings about food additives and blah blah. Well, this is a different kind of hot dog! He takes what opportunity he gets to go to Super Duper Weenie! And I can't even fault him. The ingredients are wholesome, the production is perfect, and the atmosphere/ vibe is genuine. What a delight to cozy up to the kitchen and talk with the Celebrated Chef-Owner Gary & his Team; also to connect with "The Regulars", who adore this unique place! My indulgence is a small of the French Fries, and also the weekly variety of house made Clam Chowder. Who knew there are THREE kinds? Having eaten at Super Duper Weenie and experienced the goodness, we are spreading The Word anew. Great Coastal Connecticut Culinary discoveries are where it's at!

Nothing to run for though. I got the Dixie dog $7 which was underwhelming the chili was mid at best and the slaw wasn't even average. The Hot dog had no bite despite being cooked on a griddle. The highlight was the Rhode Island clam chowder and it wasn't the greatest. Plenty of clams but very chewy. The broth was flavored but not exactly the best. This place used to be on Guy's Diner drive in and dives but it has fallen from those standards. Staff seem to have changed as well since those days. The cashier was amazing but that's were the amazement ends. Went in around 3 o'clock, food came out fast. A plus, but let down in quality. Guess some places can't hold the standards they started with.

Rawley's has a reputation for being a beloved CT hot dog place. They deep fry the dogs. Grill the…read morebuns in butter. You'll hear they have fans like Martha Stewart and David Letterman. Before this weekend, I had been once before years ago, and didn't really connect with the hot dogs in the way that others must. When I unexpectedly drove by this weekend and saw they were open, I had to try again. While the hot dog was good (not great or even very good), I continue to be underwhelmed relative to the expectations set by others and I found the experience unnecessarily inefficient and frustrating. When I arrived at 11:40 am, there was no line to order, 2 people were waiting for prior orders in the narrow front room where you order, and there were four people sitting in the narrow dining area who seemed to have their food already. I saw at least 4 different people working, which seemed adequate for the number of customers. I ordered at 11:41. I asked if they make any of their own toppings and I was told they make their own hot relish, but none of the other toppings. So I ordered one hot dog with yellow mustard, and the house red hot relish. The other available toppings, included chili, cheese, kraut, onions, sweet relish, bacon, jalapenos, mayo and dill pickle chips. I didn't get my hot dog until 12:01. So 20 minutes later. In those 20 minutes, they handed out a couple of average looking phone in orders. So it wasn't like they were doing a huge phone-in takeout business either. One of the two people who ordered ahead of me finally said "I have to go. I need a refund." They said they were completing his order so he ended up waiting a couple more minutes. I was equally frustrated with the inability of four people to accomplish so little in 20 minutes. I was there long enough to read a story they have on the wall about how people will wait "20 minutes for the real thing". So it actually seems to be a source of pride that they can take 20 minutes to fill your order, because you will like the food that much. I've been to many of the best loved CT hot dog places. I have had my hot dog within 5 minutes from some of those paces. I have never waited longer than 10 minutes for a single hot dog, even when there were twice as many customers. Even when the other hot dog places have many more topping options and they actually make some of those toppings in house. 20 minutes for a single hot dog with simple toppings is unacceptable during non-busy periods, and should be embarrassing, rather than an apparent source of pride. I could get over 20 minutes for a best in CT level hot dog. My hot dog was not near that level. Rawley's uses a standard bun length Hummel hot dog. Deep frying the dog is supposed to make it snappy. My dog was not snappy. My teeth pierced the dog, with very little resistance. I'm not a Hummel guy, but the flavor was fine. The hot relish was pretty good. It did not pop relative to the topping options of my favorite CT hot dog shops. The butter-grilled bun is a highlight, however. It's probably one of the best hot dog buns in CT. I don't live near Fairfield. I can't see returning to Rawley's. Especially, given that one of the best CT hot dog spots is also in Fairfield, and another is up the road a bit in Milford. 3 Stars for the whole experience. 3.75 Stars for the hot dog.

They were fresh, crispy and just delicious. My only complaint is they brought no type of dipping sauce with it. The chicken breast sandwich was fresh but basic. The hot dog apparently is a Hummel hot dog. I enjoyed they toasted the bun so it was warm and toasty. The location is off a main road and has parking. There are a few seats if you choose to dine in. I found the hot dog curtains adorable. Service was quick. They turned over the few tables quickly. Prices were reasonable. I'd visit again.

For those of you who dont already know, their chicken is widely described as perfectly cooked, crunchy, and insanely juicy. All chicken is certified Halal. It can be pricy for some, but the portion and quality is tottally worth it. For this particular trip I used my birthday points on the app to snag a free sweet Heat Tendie Mac Bowl at the Fairfield location, because I was in the aera getting a free birthday cookie nearby. The bowl is huge and they don't skimp on the chicken. I got mine medium, which may be hotter than you may expect. oh yeah, I grabbed a free banana pudding too. I highly recommend you download their app, it's super easy to rack up rewards.

I got the mild and still found it spicy, but I'm sure that's just me as I can barely handle spice. We got the sweet heat tendie mac & cheese, it was massive! It was definitely a niche meal with the sweetness from the chicken, the saltiness from the mac and cheese, and the heat from the spice they sprinkle on it. The service was extremely professional!! I do wish they had better drink options. Seems like the kind of place that should have their own signature lemonade or iced tea. Anyway, would recommend if you're into this style of food!

The shop looks small from the outside, but once you step in, it's surprisingly spacious. Clean, well-lit, and nicely laid out. Comfortable for dining in. We were seated immediately. Our hostess, Amber, was very patient and helpful since it was our first time. We decided to order a little bit of everything, and that was the right move. We went with the five-piece drumsticks, split half soy garlic and half Korean BBQ. The chicken is double-fried, which gives it an incredible crunch on the outside while staying juicy inside. The soy garlic was savory with a touch of sweetness and very well balanced. The Korean BBQ had more heat and bold flavor, coated in a sticky, sweet-spicy glaze that keeps you going back for more. The meal came with coleslaw, which honestly surprised me. I'm not usually a coleslaw person, but this one worked. Lightly sweet, creamy, and refreshing. It paired well with the chicken and helped cut through the richness. We also ordered the seasoned fries, and they were excellent. Crispy, well-seasoned, and topped with garlic, parmesan, and parsley that actually added flavor instead of just looking good. Easily one of the better fry sides I've had with fried chicken. Everything came out hot, fresh, and clearly made with care. If you've never had Korean fried chicken before, Bonchon is a great place to start. I'll definitely be back.

They came warm, soft, and coated in cinnamon sugar with a sweet cream dipping sauce. Honestly some of the best donuts I've had, they were fresh, warm, and delicious. I'd come back just for those alone. I heard their fried chicken is good, so I'll definitely be back to try it. But those donuts? 10/10. Would absolutely recommend.

It was around 1pm on a friday, the line was short and went quick. I ordered a Deluxe Spicy Chicken Meal, and my food was brought to my table fast, which I appreciated. The problem was the meal itself, my sandwich was so cold, the cheese wasn't even melted, and the "spicy" level was pretty bland for me. The fries also felt cold and could've used more salt. On the flip side, the dining area was spotless and spacious, with a cozy vibe thanks to plants and autumn décor. Service was friendly and the environment felt welcoming. Overall, though, the cold meal was a letdown. For all the hype, I walked away disappointed and not too impressed.

I was gifted a breakfast sandwich of my choice and purchased a few other items. The food was hot and fresh as usual. I was sad to not see the cow as advertised. It was a quiet event.

Road trip to Boston…read more.. Needless to say it was a Friday afternoon and traffic was a pain from the start. A quick little yelp search and we had an instant detour for some sustenances, while we let the other motorist continue on their way. Bodega, located in a small little shopping strip, is also small and quaint. Not much wiggle room so be prepared to be neighborly. We arrived half past 4, just in time for HH @ the bar. So we grabbed some seats at the end of the bar where Alex the bartender took care of us. We started with Passionritas (passion fruit margs) and guacamole. Both were equally delish and the guac is bowl licking worthy. However, I do not recommend since you are dinning in public. Lol. In addition we ordered the bodega blistered brussels sprouts and baja tacos to share. The sprouts were an absolute stand out. I opted for the Mexico City Ceasar Salad with Salmon. Presented slightly deconstructed, which didn't take anything away from the great taste. We had an absolute great experience from Alex our bartender whom was very impressionable to Diego (possible manager) whom also made a nice impression. We tried a few more margs before our departure. With the hibiscus being one of my faves. A wonderful spontaneous detour, that will now be a welcomed stop on future road strips north. Just A Note: - HH @ the Bar only (Tues-Fri 4-6pm) - You can take Bodegaritas to-go they have them bottled for sale.

Near the end of our meal someone who seemed to be in charge asked if I wanted to finish my drink at the bar. It felt like we were being rushed out after a larger party came in. What made it more frustrating was that other tables with the same amount of seating, including a single person at a 4-seat table, were not approached or treated the same way.
