ORIGIN: Chomp Chomp opened in Fall 2024. It is the first…read moreand only Chomp Chomp. LOCATION: Chomp Chomp is located in the middle of the Danbury Fair Mall food court. ATMOSPHERE: Since Chomp Chomp is located in a mall food court, the atmosphere is as expected -- lots of background noises, scents, and activity. In a nutshell, not a relaxing place to gather and dine. CONCEPT: Chomp Chomp is fast food, but offers a curiously diverse list of dishes such as pastrami sandwiches, rice bowls, pork belly bao, and Oklahoma-style burgers. Likewise, Chomp Chomp offers a diverse range of beverages to complement your chosen dish, including mango milkshake, Coke, and creamsicle float. FOOD: So much is offered on the menu, but I've been enamored by the Oklahoma-style burger and have yet to explore the menu. As I understand this century-old regional burger preparation method, beef is smashed on a grill, seasoned, topped with thin slices of onions, which in turn are covered with cheese. Steam from the onions permeates the cheese as it melts. The result is a super moist burger in which flavors of each component are married, rather than contrasted. SERVICE: Each time I've visited the person working the counter was enthusiastic about the new business and eager to offer guidance. TIP: For a few dollars more you can get fries and a drink. For a single burger this ends up being around cost of McDonald's ($12), but the quality, service, and flavor is far better at Chomp Chomp. The Oklahoma burger is available as single or double. I found that the flavor was more pronounced in the double version. Toppings are customizable. For example, you can add lettuce and tomato on a burger, or add meat or sauces to fries. (That said, I prefer to stick to the original Oklahoma burger version in order to experience the regional burger in its original form.)

We were looking for a quick dinner and saw good reviews for Chomp Chomp. When we pulled in to the…read moreMall, I was still hopeful as I had not been to the mall in a long time. Found a lot of the places in the food court were gone. But Chomp chomp was there. The counter guy was friendly and patient. My husband ordered the pastrami burger and I had the smash burger. Both had the fries and drinks special. The burger was tasty. But the sauce made it very slippery and finally I couldn't finish it. I felt I had hit my greasy limit for the day. My husband devoured his. But ultimately couldn't finish it either. My conclusion is that it wasn't for us. Our stomachs can't take greasy like we use to. Which is a shame, because it did taste good. I suggest you give it a try and see if you like it.

Along with the beast style unseasoned fries. The smashed style of the burger was very good. The fries were crinkle cut and beast style is basically all the hamburger toppings minus the actual burger A unique concept. Too bad they were not open later for late night munchies. They also offer three additional burger styles. I would for sure give other styles on try too.

Of course teenagers know about the most happening places. I never hear of MrBeast burgers and was…read moreintrigued by what they offered. And was actually surprised it's located inside the ice arena. My son ordered the Chris style burger with a soft bun (brioche in culinary terms) that came with two "smashed" beef patties (think thin and flat), American cheese, bacon and crinkle fries. And an order of seasoned beast style fries (hello toppings) that were topped with caramelized onions, American cheese, pickles mayo, ketchup and mustard, no drink came with what he ordered. He said it had flavor and liked the softness of the bun. He devoured everything in no time. The reason I gave it a 4 star rating is the price. I spent $20.30 to be exact on 2 items. A bit pricey if you ask me. But hey then again what do I know about beef prices now a days. It's the hype, brand and fad that I basically invested into. I looked up who MrBeast was and wasn't surprised it was another YouTuber just trying to make his millions in this social media era. Smart man. The packaging was catchy as it's colorful and funky. But that's about it folks. They didn't even give out ketchup or mayo packets. I like those much hehe.

The walls are covered with relics from the old Great Danbury Fair, and the 100-year-old bar gives the whole place a warm, lived-in charm that feels real, not staged. We tried the SouthWest Eggrolls with the guacamole ranch dipping sauce and they were seriously good. The Mushroom Panini was packed with portobello mushrooms, fresh mozzarella, red pepper pesto, tomatoes, and greens on rustic crust bread. Add Rosy's fries and you're set. The Pastrami on a Pretzel Roll was another winner with sautéed onions, Swiss, and whole grain mustard. Also came with Rosy's fries, which we happily demolished. Rebeca, our server, was awesome. Friendly, quick, and on top of everything without hovering. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Can't wait to come back.

My girlfriend had the gnocchi jambalaya and it was served with spicy sausage and chicken. Again an entree packed with great flavor. Overall, we really liked this place and will definitely go back to try other items on the menu.

I ordered a lemonade, which honestly tasted like dirty water. I then tried a martini it was okay, but nothing memorable. For food, I had a quesadilla and a pretzel, both of which were just average and not particularly exciting. The food also wasn't as hot as it should have been. My husband ordered tacos and said they were good, but he tends to say that about everything, so take that as you will. On a positive note, the staff was friendly and attentive. However, the overall atmosphere and food quality just didn't stand out, and the place feels like it's missing something. Overall, I'd give it a 4/10

There was a bar tender and 3 waitresses. We ordered and sat waiting for our drinks? Then the appetizer was delivered at same time as lunch....really?

She was so busy chatting up the now 3 people at the bar she never glanced over at our table. We had an empty pint glass and empty bottle at end of table signaling for drink refills but that went unanswered.

The bar area seemed fun, with the string lights and their cocktails seem like the reason to return. On this occasion we all got mocktails, it was hot and the drive home was long. I typically don't do mocktails, but this one tasted like the real thing. It was only $6, many places charge around $10. For my meal, I got the fish tacos. These came with three corn tortillas, filled with grilled cod, avocado and slaw. On the side there was rice and beans. This was so filling, fresh and tasty! I also enjoyed the rice and beans. I could've had just two tacos, but I had all three. Our waitress was fast and efficient. Everyone else was happy with their meals. The restroom featured just one stall. It is a bit confusing to me, that a not so small establishment would have just one restroom. Aside from the restroom, the food was very tasty. I would return here again.
