I got buffalo wings, BBQ wings side of mac and cheese, yams and egg rolls, and greens to go. I got my order to go but when I got home the yam juice leaked onto the mac, greens and no juice left on yams. It was because the hot food collapsed the styrofoam. disappointed!!! I called the owner and he will make it right for my next visit. Those items I will have to review at a later date because everything tasted so sweet from the yam juice. Could not salvage those sides. Now let's talk egg rolls please. Those egg roll are AMAZING. I got a buffalo egg roll, steak and cheese, and hamburger egg roll. Each and every one was FANTASTIC. Get those. The wings were great. The taste was amazing on both flavors . I chose the buffalo and BBQ wet flavor. I really like the fact the wings were not the size of mini turkey wings. Those large wings are usually so meaty you chew for days. Woody Wings are just the right size. The inside of the restaurant is very cute for those that choose to dine in. They have good music as well. Next time you need some wings check out Woody Wings you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!!!

Sandra's Next Generation has been my absolute staple in the community for over three decades…read more Sandra Pittman has been cooking in this same location since 1989, and I've been eating here consistently since 1995. It is, without question, the best soul food in the state. I have no problem running down I-91 from Hartford just to get my food because the quality and taste are on a level that nobody else can touch. Don't let the neighborhood fool you; this is a masterclass in authentic cooking. Sandra and her husband Miguel have been running this place for over 30 years, and that level of dedication shows in every single dish. The food has the kind of soul and precision that defines the elite dining scene in Connecticut. If you want the real deal--the standard that every other soul food spot is measured against--this is the only place to go. It's a class act that has stayed true to its roots for over 30 years.

Sandra's Next Generation is a well-known soul food restaurant in New Haven, Connecticut, known for…read moreits classic dishes such as fried chicken, catfish, smothered pork chops, mac and cheese, and collard greens. Although I don't typically dine out for soul food, my water was shut off due to maintenance on the outside pipes. Since it was Sunday and I usually cook Sunday dinner, I chose to visit Sandra's after hearing such high praise and wanting to try their menu. Upon arrival, I realized it doesn't particularly stand out, but there is a menu outside to review before entering. The restaurant is small, predominantly a takeout spot. I ordered the Pork Chop dinner, with sides of Collard Greens and Macaroni and Cheese. My son had the Ribs with Macaroni and Cheese and Rice, and my daughter selected the Fried Chicken, Macaroni and Cheese, and Collard Greens. I also picked up a side of Sweet Potatoes and Fried Fish. The Fried Fish was underwhelming in flavor, with a slimy breading. I prefer my fish fried until very crispy, and although it looked crispy, it needed a bit more time. The Sweet Potatoes were good but could benefit from a touch more sweetness. When I opened my Pork Chop dinner, I was surprised to find only one pork chop, especially given that the dinner costs twenty dollars and pork is typically an affordable meat. I would expect two pork chops for that price. The Mac and Cheese was decent--cooked well but lacking the deep, savory richness I seek. The Collard Greens, however, were excellent; cooked perfectly and absorbed the rich flavors of their broth and seasonings. My children found the food to be okay, rating it around 2.5 to 3 stars. There is also a refrigerator with desserts and homemade juice drinks. Overall, the staff and environment were friendly.

The interior won't pull you there for a lovely evening dinner, but doing take out or having a casual bite out should put this place on your radar if you're in the mood for some fried food. As a forewarning, the spicy sauce they provide has a big kick. The fried wings can be cooked in it and indeed taste amazing, but you will be sweating by the time you get to the end; especially if you add some more spice to it by dipping your wings in it. 10/10 would recommend for any spicy food lovers.

Great food, excellent service, and a fun environment for the whole family. We will definitely be back! Food was 9/10 on the sports bar level Service was 10/10.

We tried 3 different wing flavors: buffalo, cajun dry rub, and garlic parm. Overall, the wings were somewhat disappointing - the meat was a bit dry (still decent for the price though). The buffalo flavor was my favorite as it helped balance out the dryness out and it had a nice kick. The garlic parm and cajun dry rub were on the saltier side but nice with the blue cheese and ranch on the side which helped to mellow these out. The star of the show was their Bar Burger - perfectly cooked, juicy and topped with BBQ sauce, grilled onions, bacon, and cheddar cheese. The portion of fries was generous too. Though they do offer a large variety of food on their menu, their burgers. in particular are delicious. Drinks were great, service was attentive and quick, and the atmosphere was laidback. Overall, a solid option for grabbing a draft or a late night bite!

I have never been to an establishment that refuses to allow anyone under 21 inside to simply eat,…read moreespecially at 3 pm on a Sunday. This is not a club on a Friday night. 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.

The honey hot was ok, I wanted a little more flavor and there was a weird oil/liquid pooled at the bottom of the container.
