    I've been to Haven Hot before but this was my 1st time to this location. The set up was different but it was the same vibes. Very clean and bright. Jahbari greeted me and took my order. He was very helpful with trying to figure out combos to get the most out of my money. The items are very pricey hence why I don't eat here often. A single chicken sandwich is almost $15 with a combo being a lil over $18. The manager where I usually hooks me up with lots of Rob sauce. At this location I just purchased a large which was $4. We had a great conversation while I waited. What a nice young man. My food came out in less than 10 minutes and it was nice and hot. I witnessed someone purchasing 2 large box orders and their's came out fast as well. This was my 1st time getting the Wrap Snack and a side of coleslaw. I tried medium- Hotter Than You Think, it wasnt super spicy. The wraps came with 2, so I saved one for dinner. The one I ate was yummy, though I wish it had more chicken. My last bites were all tortilla. The chicken was crispy and the cheese really paired well with it. The coleslaw was well seasoned, not sweet and had good size pieces of veggies. You could see the onions and celery. I tasted all the layers of love. My son The Sandwich Combo per usual. He always gets the same thing. My only complaint is the seating was uncomfortable. If you could afford it, I highly recommend you check them out lol.

    Tendie Duo Combo

    I don't see the hype. The tenders were large but so was the price. $10.99 for tenders and $5.49 for the banana pudding. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't worth it. Even the sell of the restaurant, the spice factor just doesn't do it for me. The spice was a pure heat spice not a flavorful one. In my opinion it's better to get chick-fil-a. Again it was bad but from a value standpoint I'm not too sure about Haven Hot Chicken.

    Went in on a Saturday night to grab some dinner and listen to a live band. I've been to The Chop…read moreHouse location in New Haven, so my expectations were high and I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, the little details and service prevented that. Their site says that they have 15 taps featuring local craft beers, but once we sat, we were immediately told they did not have a number of items on the menu. Very few of the beers were local, so I settled on a Yeungling, which was unfortunately flat, sour, and warm. I returned it, and our server was happy to get something else. He did not take it off the bill however which was disappointing. Our server let us know that he was a very experienced bartender, but every time a drink was served, he grabbed it by the mouth of the glass. Gross. Also, several times, the server would ask one person at the table if they'd like another and run away before seeing if everyone at the table was OK. The pizza was the saving grace, and just the way I like it... Thin & Crispy (as stated on the Staff's uniforms). Cooked in a cast iron skillet, it was a unique, and welcome twist. I went for the clam casino special, which was very good. I would definitely get it again if available. Maybe with a squeeze of lemon next time. My wife got the chicken cutlet with hot peppers which was also very good, but totally overloaded with garlic. Wedge salad was good, but could have used a little more dressing. Maybe they just had an off night. I will try them again, but my experience and other recent reviews seems to trend that the staff lacks leadership and needs a significant amount of training. If they could get the management and service right, this place could unlock a ton of potential.

Enjoyed that....my pizza tasted like garlic and it overpowered the rest of the pizza. I got the Klarides Village pizza and I wish I got something else. My husband's wedge salad was good and his clam casino pie wasn't bad. Burger presented nicely but lacked any seasoning and the cheese fries were tasty. I feel this place can be better, service be more consistent. Beer can be updated and fresh. Came for a music event and the lighting and stage are nice. Will come back to try pizza again, maybe just a sauce and cheese.

I was actually surprised by how empty/unbusy it was. This is one of their smaller locations, but that didn't bother me since I was grabbing my food to go. The tendies had a nice crispy breading and the chicken was juicy. I went with the Hot seasoning level and thought the heat was just right, definitely spicy, but still enjoyable and flavorful. I also got a banana pudding for my daughter since she loves it. Overall, I had a good experience and would definitely consider stopping back in the future.

    Unfortunately, our experience with Haven Hot Chicken's food truck was extremely disappointing…read more I posted a solicitation on the CT Food Trucks website looking for food trucks for our Jack and Jill event on September 5. In the post, I clearly explained that we were expecting approximately 80-100 guests and that guests would be responsible for purchasing their own food. Amanda from Haven Hot Chicken's food truck reached out to me directly. She provided information about their food truck, confirmed that they were available on September 5, and specifically told me that we would not need to pay a deposit to reserve them. Based on that brief email conversation and a phone call, we considered the food truck booked for our event and planned accordingly. Unfortunately, Haven Hot Chicken never showed up to our event. We had no advance notice that they weren't coming, and we were left scrambling to deal with the situation while hosting our event. When I contacted the company during our event, I was told that Amanda no longer worked for the company, that she had apparently never entered our event into their booking system, and that there was no record of our conversation or the booking. While I understand that employees leave and that mistakes can happen, this was a significant failure in communication and event coordination. We had made plans based on the commitment we received from Haven Hot Chicken, and their failure to properly document the booking left us without the food service we had arranged for our guests. I would strongly recommend getting written confirmation directly from management and verifying that your event is actually on their schedule before relying on Haven Hot Chicken's food truck for an important event. We were extremely frustrated and disappointed by how this was handled, particularly because there was no communication from the company that they would not be attending.

Enter Charley's, a food court eatery that was an easy walk to the mall. I've ordered from these guys a few times over the years since they opened, and honestly I'm kinda glad they are still here when plenty of other places to eat here have gone away. I mean, we still don't have a replacement for the Burger King that moved out a few years back, and I noticed the Cinnabon that had set up shop at this food court was gone as well. I went with the Bacon 3 Cheesesteak Meal, adding in the Ultimate Fries and Peach Lemonade. You are also given a free sample whenever you come here which is a nice touch. David was friendly when taking my order which is another plus. This food court's ambiance is about what you would expect in a Connecticut mall these days: a fraction of what it used to be in terms of traffic. Honestly, I don't mind it because that gave me more peace to begin doing some online training while I ate. The lemonade was a good refreshment. It does bug me that the peaches in the lemonade all want to settle at the bottom and not mix itself in when I stir it, but that's about my only gripe there. The fry on its own has a light crunch to it, not too bad of a spud. Honestly, the toppings added on to make the Ultimate Fries are what help make this side more flavorful and will probably be how I continue to order these fries in future visits. As for the sandwich itself, I've already come to accept that there is no such thing as a true Philly cheesesteak from Charley's, so it's best to temper my expectations when coming here. The roll it comes in was nothing special, but honestly I can't really complain when factoring in the price and convenience. You don't come here expecting a 5-star meal. You come here for something quick without breaking the bank. Once I take that into consideration, it's really all I can ask for.

And NOT ONLY THAT, but I was supposed to get a BOGO and I only got one sandwich. Also, they gave the wrong chips and the drink was way over priced. I will never order there again.

We were turned away because my cousin is 20. If we were able to provide proof of guardianship, we would have been allowed in. Who walks into a restaurant with legal papers showing you are the guardian?? When we asked the waitress why we couldn't just eat, she was very dismissive, rude and did not explain why this is their rule, she simply stated "its a cafe liquor license". My husband and I have been here over a dozen times and have only been carded half of the time, and we've ordered alcohol everytime. Riddle me that. There has never been any expectation to be 21 to just walk in. All of a sudden we can't let a 20 year old just get lunch with a water? I'm sure they got themselves into an underage drinking disaster but that shouldn't affect everyone else. I understand the rules are written on the website, but we've never had an issue previously so why would I think to check if I needed to bring guardianship paperwork with me? The entire experience was bizarre and unappreciated. We will not be back ever.
