Even was able to buy some of their barbecue sauce and rub that they sell pre-bottled at the counter.

Dogtown is the Northeast cheat code for satisfying a serious In-N-Out craving. If you know, you…read moreknow. My go-to order is the Dogtown Burger with two patties, extra cheese, no lettuce or tomato, grilled onions cooked well done, and plenty of Dogtown spread. Pair that with well-done fries topped with two slices of American cheese, spread, and grilled onions, and you've basically unlocked a full California-style burger experience without leaving the East Coast. The Bethel location really nails the vibe. They grill the patties in mustard and serve fresh, snappy green chilies on the side, just like the classic West Coast spots. It's the little details that make it feel authentic. Milford is excellent too, but Bethel gets the edge for those extra touches. The meat is consistently fresh, the burgers are messy in the best way possible, and the fries hit that perfect balance of crispy, cheesy, and indulgent. If you're chasing that Animal Style flavor in the Northeast, Dogtown absolutely delivers.

My friend ordered the Papa Locas and customized it. He removed the pork and steak and kept it all chicken. They were super accommodating, which we appreciated. I also tried a piece of the freshly cooked bacalao, and wow... crispy, hot, and definitely a must-try. I ordered the mixed seafood mofongo (market price, so it may vary). I usually double-check if it's made with chicharrón, but this time I forgot and let me tell you, I was so excited when I opened my container and saw that beautiful chunk of chicharrón! The seafood was soft, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Everything blended so well together. And listen... you have to have the mayo-ketchup with a Puerto Rican dish. The white sauce was delicious too. I can't remember the name (a little spicy!), but it paired perfectly with everything. Overall, I was definitely satisfied with my order. Great flavors, fresh food, and that authentic touch that hits every time.

Glenwood Drive-In is a historic family restaurant that opened in Hamden, Connecticut in 1955. It…read morewas founded by Rocky Stone. The property was originally a small drive-in that operated under a different name. Stone purchased the drive-in after working as a Tip-Top salesman and deliveryman. He renamed it "Glenwood" and expanded the menu, hours and the physical building. After Stone passed away in 1960, his son Frank "Wayne" Stone took it over and he continues to run it today. In the early days, the Glenwood had a walk-up service window similar to establishments such as Dairy Queen. Over the years, Wayne remodeled the interior and added an indoor seating area. The menu consists of staples such as footlongs, chili dogs, cheeseburgers, clam strips, lobster rolls, soft shell crab, fries, onion rings, and much more! Although the establishment is no longer a traditional drive-in restaurant, the Glenwood still hosts classic car "Cruise Nights" every Wednesday during the warmer months. In 1985, Wayne's daughter opened "Kelly's Cone Connection": an adjoining ice cream parlor business that is connected to the Glenwood. Although both businesses share the same space, they operate as separate entities. Kelly makes all of her own ice cream, hot fudge, waffle cones, ice cream pies and birthday cakes in house. Customers can expect to choose from about 35 different flavors on any given day. My family and I recently stopped for dinner at Glenwood Drive-In. Growing up in the area, I visited the Glenwood several times throughout my childhood. I also frequently accompanied my father to "Cruise Nights" when he still owned a 1971 Triumph TR6. On this outing, we ordered a variety of menu items including a "Chili Cheese Dog", "Footlong", "Chicken Fingers w/ Fries", and "Fried Shrimp w/ Fries". There's something about those classic menu staples that just really hit the spot. Afterwards, we headed through the adjoining doorway to Kelly's Cone Connection for dessert. It was a special occasion because the ice cream parlor was hosting a meet & greet with Spider-Man himself. The event coincided with the release of a new monthly special called the "Spidey-Sundae" (Firework 250 Poprock ice cream w/ golden Oreos, a frosting and sprinkle rim w/ a cotton candy web, poprocks, & a Spider-Man ring). My sons both had a blast meeting Spider-Man and eating his special ice cream treat. I tried a different monthly special: the "New England Clam Chowder" (sweet cream salted caramel ice cream w/ white chocolate "clams", dried mint, vanilla wafers, white chocolate shell). The presentation was immaculate and the flavor combo was simply divine! If you're looking for classic American drive-in food along with some fantastic ice cream, then head to Glenwood Drive-In and Kelly's Cone Connection!

So I had to ask for my money back in full a second time. No lunch for me today, you guys drive all the way from Milford and don't prep for gas and propane?????

No one apologized to me via Instagram, they deleted my comment twice & then blocked me, no one offered me lunch so I'm not sure who you're referring to. Then you said I acted multiple ways towards your staff, there was only one woman in the truck with the chef and the only words we exchanged were me requesting my money so again you must be referring to someone else.

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.

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.
