The heart of Haven is their incredible spice blend. They don't just offer "hot"--they offer a…read moreprecision-engineered scale of heat that caters to everyone: * The Mild Side: If you're spice-averse, their "Country" (no heat) or "Mild" levels let the quality of the chicken shine through without the burn. * The Extreme: For the thrill-seekers, the "Haven" level is truly "out of this world." It's a deep, dark red dusting of spices that delivers an intense, lingering heat that will test even the most seasoned chili-heads. Whether you want a quick snack or a full feast, they've mastered every vessel for their crispy, juicy chicken: * The Sandwich: A massive, hefty breast on a potato bun that is widely considered one of the best in New England. * The Wraps & Tenders: Perfectly fried and consistently juicy. * The Sliders: The perfect "middle ground" if you want to mix and match different spice levels in one sitting. The "Must-Have" Sides A hot chicken joint is only as good as its sides, and Haven's are legendary: * Homemade Mac & Cheese: This isn't an afterthought. It's rich, creamy, and features a perfect cheese-to-pasta ratio that acts as the ultimate cooling agent for your palate. * Banana Pudding: This is the "secret weapon" of the menu. It's authentic, layered with fresh bananas and Nilla wafers, and topped with light whipped cream. Many regulars consider it a "side" rather than a dessert because it's the only thing that can truly put out the fire of the higher spice levels! Haven Hot Chicken is a masterclass in balance. Between the crunch of the breading, the customizable heat, and the soul-warming sides, it's a 10/10 experience for any fried chicken lover.

Been ordering from here since it opened. We would brag about it to people. Especially the size of…read morethe chicken on the sandwich and how crispy yet moist it was. Just ordered a chicken sandwich and the peice of chicken was too small for even the bun. Then one whole side of the chicken didnt have meat it was just breading. Ordered chicken wraps. Which normally include tenders. Each wrap had a cut peice of chicken all diffrent sizes and less then a quarter of breading left. Got delivery and the American cheese on the wrap was still cold like it came out of the fridge. Not one sign of any melt pattern. Then not 1 slice od cheese, not a half. Here we are again with a quarter amount. If it was a blind tasting I would have never guessed this was hot haven. Sad to see the sloppiness and lack a quality.

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.

The building may be small but it's the perfect size for a busy kitchen and small front area to pick up great take-out food. Wow....can they put out some amazing down home southern food. They're all very friendly and welcoming and once again....man can they cook. I had the chopped BBQ, candied yams, collard greens, and cornbread. The chopped BBQ is spicy and vinegary. It didn't even need barbeque sauce, but you can get that as well. The candied yams had a spice that I couldn't figure out but it was addictive. I just wanted more. Collard greens were excellent. Cornbread was moist and tender. My wife wasn't that hungry so she ordered the Mac & Cheese. Warm, comforting, and cheesy. She loved it. My cornbread was so good that she ended up eating most of it. Couldn't ask for much more than that. Next time we order I'm going to try the Smothered Pork Chops.

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.
