    Nice & clean inside, friendly counter people, fast service & food. Classic hot dog joint - I had a dog with cheese and curly fries to go. They were both super tasty. I will be back when I'm craving a hotdog again for sure.

    Old school fast serve place for burgers, dogs and fried food. Part of a dying breed that used to dot Connecticut. Good grilled foods served up, no frills and inexpensive.

    Cheese sauce , great size. Sort of spicy.

    The food was great! Highly recommend the quarter pound cheeseburger. Onion rings aren't the best and the cheese sauce was a semi spicy version. Cheeseburger was so great ! I got Mayo, raw onion, lettuce and tomato with American cheese. Small spot, shack like. Nice enough service.

    5/27/22 Chili cheese dog Spicy nacho cheese sauce, Italian sausage burger with fried Peppers. No provolone? What's with that?

    5/27/22 My first visit to a Frankie's, a small, local outlet of several in the state by the name Frankie's. The menu is pretty extensive, and offers the typical drive in fare of dogs, burgers, seafood and salads. I decided to try one of their foot long chili cheese dogs with spicy nacho cheese sauce, and an Italian sausage burger with fried peppers on a Portuguese roll, and a pink lemonade from the fountain. The only odd thing to me was that they don't offer provolone cheese to go on their Italian sausage burgers, only American or spicy nacho cheese sauce. What's up with that? Both were more than acceptable, but nothing to make them stand out amongst all the other nearby drive in dining options. Service was quick and friendly, and the tables were all very clean, so no issues on that front. Try Frankie's, and see for yourself.

    Wow, what a great little hole in the wall. Did a show at the nearby concert hall and my tourmate…read moreand I were hungry but it was after midnight and options were pretty slim. But we found this place and wow... The ambience is great. It has the feel of a place that's been there forever but has only been there 11 years or so. The decor was very retro and homey. The woman (the owner's mother) working was quite friendly. Now the food. The sides are all homemade and the potato salad and brownie were tasty. Bonus points for having Vernor's ginger ale, hard to find outside of the Detroit area. And the burgers--- wow. DO NOT-- I repeat-- DO NOT order the double unless you haven't eaten in a week. I got the double cheeseburger loaded and OMG... I finished maybe 3/4 of it and hadn't eaten since breakfast and had been working hard all day. But it was delicious. Never had a steamed burger before and was skeptical, but no longer. I am now a fan. And so should you if you're ever in the Wallingford CT area.

    I got a gift card from restaurant.com to try American Steamed Cheeseburger. It's located on a side…read morestreet in Wallingford with a public parking lot across the street. There is no AC that I could tell, and had a TV playing baseball. The waitress cooked my food to order, which was the most epic cheese I have ever had! There was more cheese then meat, and it was so good! They also sold brownies, crochet, coke beverages, and chips. The ketchup was at both of the two tables. The bathroom looked a little added on, but did work. Definitely recommend though for the cheese awesomeness.

    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'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!
