I've also had hot chicken in Nashville, and this place is just as good. Furthermore, they are super nice. I once ordered a pickup order from the wrong location and they refunded my order and gave me a free chicken sandwich because they were out of the mac and cheese that I had ordered from the other location. The mac and cheese is great and they give you a free banana pudding on your birthday. read more

Was excited to check out Haven Chicken in New Haven knowing that many new locations have been popping up across the state. This location was takeout only and easily accessible to park and to order at. However upon opening our takeout order at home I was extremely disappointed in the portion for the price listed. I ordered the Summer Salad (priced at $13+tax) which ended up being a half of a cup of lettuce with chopped chicken on top (see photo for reference). A positive, is that the staff working at this location that day were friendly and efficient. Update: Revised to reflect strong customer service that helped make our experience better. Not many places go out of their way to help when there was a problem, greatly appreciate the quick support. read more

Really Delicious and a perfect ending to a work week. We placed an order on Friday night through UberEats to be delivered after seeing an up to 60% off promo code emailed to us in addition to a Buy 1 Get 1 free Chicken Sandwich promotion. (Otherwise it looked like each sandwich would have been a bit over $16 each?!) This was our first time trying and were super pleased. We ordered 4 sandwiches of the following heat levels: Country - No Spice Mild - Hint of Spice Medium - Proper Spicy Haven - For The Hot Head I'm not a heat super fan so the Country and Mild were mine and awesome. My husband had the Medium and Haven. He loves heat and even admitted that maybe next time he'll opt for the Hot one instead of Haven. We ordered extra Rob sauce to dip the massive quantity of fries a Large size contained and threw in a mac and cheese for good measure. Would we order again. Absolutely, as long as the price is right. It truly is one of the best chicken sandwiches in the area! read more

The chicken sandwiches were good while hot. The Mac and cheese was bland and not great. The fries were basic not great but also not bad. The drinks were extremely diluted. I would come back for a chicken sandwiches but I would NOT recommend the combo and the sides and drink were not worth the extra cost. They had the front window open which let in a nice breeze while we waited but there is no seating, this is not an eat in spot so you will need to find a spot to eat elsewhere. To add the sandwiches were soggy when reheated so I 100% recommend this spot only when the food is hot. read more

I saw Haven Hot Chicken was featured on TV and decided to check it out while visiting New Haven. Ambiance: very small storefront, just a counter and some space for people to line up, think of the small coffee shop or bubble tea store with zero seats. Service: ordering was smooth; there weren't many people when we went, so it didn't take long to get our order. Food: we ate it right away standing in the store because it's so hot outside and we wanted to finish it before heading to a museum. The "proper" level brings enough heat, the chicken batter is crispy and not too thick, I love the flavors and moisture from coleslaw and pickle, otherwise eating the bun and fried chicken may be a bit dry. BUT the bun does get soggy quickly from the sauce, so glad we ate it right away. Overall it's a great hot chicken sandwich, better than Prince's Hot Chicken in Nashville. The sandwich is a bit pricy though. Would be a five star if they have some seats and have a more reasonable price. read more

This restaurant never disappoints. My go-to order is the chicken sandwich with medium heat (of course). Decently portioned sized chicken, cooked to perfection. The medium heat definitely still has a kick to it. The coleslaw on the sandwich is nice and crisp and balances out the heat from the chicken. I decided to branch and try a side of Mac and cheese, it was good and cheesy but I think for next time ill just stick with the sandwich although I am eying their chicken tender roulette to try all 5 heat levels... Take out only at the New Haven location read more

Ordered with Uber Eats and food arrived very fast and was packed very nicely put together. But for the price it definitely not worth it. Chicken was good but I could compare the quality of the sandwich to the same as a Popeye's chicken sandwich. But it was a good sandwich of chicken breast fillet, coleslaw and the pickles really made the sandwich. The waffle was perfect but could have been a bit bigger Perfectly sweet and didn't even need any type of syrup. Banana pudding topped of the meal. But for the price tag of $26.00 plus tip, not sure i would order this again for delivery. But once again packed good and delivery was great. read more

Hear me out... yes it's a good chunk of change for a chicken sandwich but OH. MMYYYY. GOD. This sandwich was outta this world good. I ordered the "medium/proper spicy" level and it was just right for me who typically adds hot sauce to a lot of everyday foods. This is a huge- barely fits in your mouth- thick- juicy- meaty breast of chicken PERFECTLY seasoned and coated in a delightful crunchy breading and sauced with a tasty, spicy, hot chicken sauce and they do not skimp on the pickles or special sauce either. I ordered the Coleslaw on the side bc I am super picky on Coleslaw but it was a perfect complement to the sandwich- fresh and balanced not too sweet or tart. The best part: They offer a side choice with the meal and for a limited time you can get PUMPKIN SPICE BANANA PUDDIN'!! When I tell you it was the creamiest most amazing dessert I have ever had from a chicken joint I am not lying it was incredible. They were very prompt and took care with preparing and packing my order. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere was small but very clean and nice. Will return again and again. Do not walk, RUN to this place asap!! read more

There's a saying that goes, "we do chicken right". I think we can rephrase that for Haven Hot Chicken to, "we do chicken... Right!" This caught my eye looking for someplace to walk to for dinner. After reading quite a few reviews, I took a stroll to check it out. Had a super friendly gentleman walk me through some suggestions and I settled on "the sandwich" you can get this chicken sandwich a few different ways regarding heat intensity. I thought middle of the road was the way to go so I ordered it medium. For me this was slightly on the spicier side but it was not overly spicy. It's a good sized piece of boneless chicken breast with vinegar slaw, garlic dill pickle between the buns. I added the "rob" to dip it into. Really flavorful sauce that brought a new dimension to the chicken sandwich. Side options included, banana, pudding, coleslaw, or french fries. I chose the vinegar coleslaw. Terrific, tasting shredded cabbage, decent size portion with onion, carrot, and celery with their own housemate dressing. A good twist on a classic favorite. If you're a fan of good hot chicken, check it out! read more

This is a review of their delivery. We ordered delivery for 6 people on a weekday late-ish lunch time. Delivery did take quite a while so unfortunately when our food arrived, the fries were soggy and the sandwiches were lukewarm :( Despite that, man oh were the spicy. We all got The Sandwich combo meals at varying spice levels. A few of us got the mild which we agreed was a good spice level for us - spicy without it being untasty. One brave soul (who handles their spice very very well) got the Haven level of spice - they said that for them, they could taste that it was spicy and about half way through the sandwich it was really burning. But they were able to finish the sandwich. Only would recommend for either very brave people or true spice champions. We also got the banana pudding which honestly is really good and a great dessert for a super spicy meal. Would recommend for a good hot chicken sandwich but I would pick up! read more

Passing through on our way to see family for the holidays, we stopped at Haven Hot Chicken... and ooooh man they did NOT disappoint! Exactly as it sounds, they have your Nashville hot chicken right here! Battered with just enough batter and fried to perfection, their chicken has just the right crisp and amount of "breading." I'm more of a mild gal when it comes to spice and the mild sauce was just perfect when paired with their spicy slaw. The kids had Mac n cheese and it was ooey gooey goodness! They did wish it had more chicken in the kids meal. The fries were cooked perfectly! With more of a take out ambiance (there were no seats), the gal at the counter was super nice and (thankfully) patient with us first timers. We will be back when passing through again! read more

I think I visited this place about four times. I know it was a lot, because when I expensed it for work, my manager remarked "you must've loved Haven Hot Chicken". AND I HELLA DID! The chicken is out of this world good! You can choose any level of spice (I got the New Haven), and they are NOT stingy with the flavor, nor the fries. The prices are pretty much what you'd expect from a chicken place, and unlike other restaurants that attempt to make Nashville Fried chicken, this place is successful. With each bite full of flavor and better than the last. They have zero indoor seating, because it's a grab and go place, but they do have some outdoor seating on the street, and they'll bring your food out to you if you forget that you ordered it (me, every time). I'll be back if I'm up here again for work. I wish I could order delivery lol read more

Awesome! Found this place when downtown for jury duty. It's a smaller location with outdoor seating. But you don't come here for a sit down experience. I ordered my sandwich and waited inside for it to be prepared. It was worth the wait. The sandwich was crispy, and the breading was thin. It was a nice combo of crunch without being over breaded (if that's such a thing!). I ordered The Sandwich and got it hot. It had a nice kick to it! I like spicy food and this delivered. Loved the note on the tag that came with the sandwich "Hot- Will Burn". Really glad I checked this place out and heard they are opening a second location in North Haven. read more

I went to Austin TX a few years ago and had the famous Gus' chicken and have yet to find a place comparable- until Haven Chicken. The quality of chicken at this place is fantastic! I love how tender the meat is while still maintaining a great crunch on the outside. I love that there are different levels of heat to choose from. I found the menu to be a little confusing. I paid ~16 for just a sandwich and realized after I had paid that there were other cheaper options. I suggest making the menu more accessible to understand the options better. read more

They're cooking up some tasty birds here at this low key New Haven destination. Not only are you just served up a juicy and high quality cut of chicken, but the flavors are bursting due to the sauce and coleslaw they put on the sandwiches. Not to mention, the chicken is actually satisfyingly hot just at the normal "Hot" level. They also don't compromise on the portions, they are large and filling. I can't count the number of tiny chicken sandwiches I've had at similar places, but that's not an issue here at all. The fries and mac & cheese are really tasty as well. Nothing is too salty or off-putting in any way, everything is prepared perfectly and it's totally delicious. Looking forward to coming back. read more

I recently visited Haven Hot Chicken in New Haven for the first time. HHC specializes in Nashville-style hot chicken sandwiches and tenders. Sides and desserts include Mac & Cheese, coleslaw, banana pudding, fries and pickles. They also have numerous sauce choices. I ordered three medium hot tenders, Mac & Cheese and two banana puddings for the family to try. HHC is takeout and delivery service only, but the store had a cool aesthetic. Service was friendly. Although I planned to drive home to the Hartford area with the food, I tried a tender and the Mac and Cheese before I left to give HHC its best shot. The tender was as good as any hot chicken I've had in CT. It was hot, but not overpowering. The outer texture was crispy. The inside was meaty and tender. I also liked the Ranch dipping sauce and a Comeback type sauce. With Air Fryer reheating, the chicken tenders were just as good as that first bite I had, on the streets, of the Town of New Haven.(#peacefrog #thedoors). The whole family enjoyed the chicken and the banana pudding. The Mac and Cheese had a cacio e pepe vibe. Cork screw pasta provided the Mac. It was a good change of pace for Mac and Cheese, but for me, it was more decent than very good. Haven Hot Chicken gets Five Stars for its effort. My 9 year old son is already asking me to take him back. read more

Disappointed with this sandwich. The meat is inconsistent, the overall sandwich is very messy, it is thrown in front of you with little pomp, but much ado on your wallet. There are no tables here or anywhere to sit. It is simply a grab and go establishment. That is not always a good thing. What if it is raining? Then the bag and everything inside is ruined!

It's a solid 4.5 for me, but rounding up for thoughtful vegetarian options! I haven't had hot chicken in years cause these sorts of places never have a veggie option, and if they do it's usually seitan. Here you can have a hot "chicken" sandwich that's actually breaded cauliflower! The sandwich was quite good. Not as spicy as expected for me but the breading was on point and the pickles and slaw and everything worked great together. Fries were just fine and could have been a little crispier. Price would have felt a lot more reasonable had I not upgraded to the combo, and given the fries were just alright and the drink options were mostly canned soda, paying more didn't feel worth it. Small space where you order at the counter. Service is quick and friendly. They also have a little outdoor area where you can eat your sandwich if the weather is nice. No tables inside. read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! I frequented so many times within a month it was insane. This place is a small store with some outdoor seating, but it's food is amazing! The staff are very friendly and willing to work with you. It's usually not busy any time I have gone, the food is ready and basically 5 to 10 minutes each time. One time it was a little chaotic as it seem to have a lot of orders incoming at once, they did forget one thing for me, but I ended up going there another time and mentioning that and they were able to give me the item I was missing from the prior time, which was so kind and I appreciate (it was a banana pudding which is so good) The food is definitely heavy on chicken, I don't know much about the vegetarian alternatives I would imagine it might not be your first pick as a vegan or vegetarian. The food itself is so good the chicken is so crispy, it is probably some of the best fried chicken I've ever had! I've had the sandwich, the jumbo tendies, and the fuego fries - they are all FIRE, but fuego fries are my personal fave. The banana pudding is by fire the best I've ever had. I moved away from New Haven, but if I didn't I would've definitely been there at least once this past week for sure. Give them a try!! read more

New Haven always delivers, and Haven Hot Chicken is no exception. This is a hole in the wall, like all great places to eat. The menu is simple, and the focus, of course, is fried chicken. They really deliver on a simple, yet delicious sandwich, in all levels of spicy. I tried two, THE Sandwich (which is just a buttermilk, fried breast, with great sauce and toppings on a potato bun) in a country style, and a Tendie Slider at Hot level. They were both delicious though I might not go as hot next time on the slider, just because I was sweating out of my head. But still, so great. The fries were also quite good, really crispy and quite well-seasoned. I will go back, and you should thank me (and all the other five star reviews) later. read more

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.

Tip: Order online from your phone a few minutes before you walk in. Then mention your order to the first person you see - they'll use their handheld to immediately start your order. Otherwise it will get done and put on a shelf to grab. If you order in person, they'll come outside and call your name and hand you your order. Also, I've always found that if I want a table, one always opens up when I'm ready to sit. If you want one, you will get one - just the endless circle of life, dude There are also a few tables around the corner on Whitney. Great place.

One 6 Three is an unusual name - it's a small and cozy spot with few tables and bar seating, set in a residential neighborhood. We tried the gluten free crust (available only in 12") American margherita pie and added mushrooms in half of it. The wood fired crust was well done, I really liked it. Lots of garlic, yum. However, the tomatoes on it were raw and that didn't feel very good. Also, there were no condiments offered on the side- like oregano- is that normal in a pizza place? Maybe I need to try more pizza places :)

Today, we made a stop at One6Three, tucked into the East Rock section of New Haven, where it's been…read moreholding down its corner for about ten years. This place is small, unapologetic, and full of character. Decorative firewood stacked with intention, walls filled with wine corks, and #10 tomato cans repurposed as pizza stands. Walk in and you immediately catch the vibe, exposed brick, distressed plaster, a slightly industrial, almost factory-style feel that somehow still feels warm and welcoming. The centerpiece of the room is the wood-fired oven, running hot and glowing with that perfect orange flame. The aroma of burning wood hits you right away and sets the tone. From that moment on, the culinary experience is in motion. We ordered The Mootz and Breaking My Meatballs. Both pies are built on a very thin, tender crust with beautiful leoparding. The dough is flavorful and clearly well-fermented. Sauce is applied with restraint, just enough to support the dough and cheese without overpowering them, and it delivers a clean, bright tomato flavor. Breaking My Meatballs was the standout. Homemade meatballs, herbed ricotta, cherry peppers, mozzarella, and that same balanced sauce. The cherry peppers bring a sharp vinegar tang that cuts perfectly through the richness of the ricotta and meatballs. Every bite hits a different note, and it all works together. Easily one of my favorites. The crust across the board was thin and tender with a delicate smoky char from the wood fire, exactly what you want from this style. Bottom line: Great spot. Excellent pizza. Super friendly staff

If you…read morenotice the sign, you'll see they've rotated the lower case "a" in "Meat" so it's upside down. Think of it as a culinary warning that they don't do things the normal way. I've had two sandwiches from Meat and Co. on two separate visits in 2025. The first was the Haute Tuna Melt. The tuna salad itself was good. It has some hot pepper and chive flavor. The tuna sandwich was on a panini-pressed ciabatta roll. I prefer some type of grilled sliced bread, which I think is more common, for a tuna melt. But that's fine. The biggest miss for me was the cheese. The American Cheese was not at all melted. So it's really just a tuna fish sandwich with American Cheese, Lettuce and Tomato. Good for what it was, but it wasn't a Tuna Melt. The second was The Rick Reuben. It must be more "Rick" than "Reuben". because it is the least "Reuben" Reuben sandwich I've ever had. It had pastrami, which is acceptable for a Reuben. That was about it. Instead of kraut, they had a mild red cabbage slaw. Instead of Swiss, they had cheddar. Instead of grilled rye bread, it was on a long panini-pressed pretzel roll. Admittedly, I didn't pay careful attention to the menu description because Reubens usually fall into one of a small number of types, and I like them all. Although, the online menu I saw did not reference the pretzel roll. This sandwich was too far away from any accepted form of Reuben to be called a Reuben. If it had been called a Pretzel Pastrami Melt, which is far more accurate, I wouldn't have ordered it. It was fine for it was. The pastrami was average though. Given how much I like the other East Rock Market vendors, I'm unlikely to return. If you go, pay close attention to the menu and maybe ask questions. 3.25 Stars
