    I'm reviewing The Coop food truck, which happened to be stationed at the Housatonic River brewery on a Saturday afternoon. After a long day of rock climbing in 90+ degree weather, I was tired, sore, thirsty, and starving. I wandered into the first brewery I found and frantically looked around for a food or snack menu. I was told don't worry, there's a food truck! Now, food trucks at breweries can be hit or miss. Like the time I discovered that my lunch options consisted of 8 variations of fries. But lo and behold, The Coop to the rescue! Wings, hot chicken sandwiches, mac and cheese, and more! I ordered the nashville hot chicken sandwich, because I was craving meat and spice, and I thought it was less likely to irritate the open blisters on my palms (refer to comment about rock climbing) than actual chicken wings. I asked for a side of slaw to take home, recalling the pork carnitas I had sitting naked in my fridge. The sandwich was incredible. It's photogenic, yes, but the sex appeal is real. It was crispy and saucy and flavorful and exactly what I wanted with some cold beer. This place is legit. p.s. The extra cole slaw was great the next day with my carnitas.

    As a proud, card-carrying member of the "Find the Best Wings in Connecticut" father-son tour, I…read morehave to start by tipping my hat to my fellow Yelpers... because you were absolutely right. My son and I rolled into TK's American Cafe with high hopes and empty stomachs, ready to see if this stop could challenge the reigning champions of our wing universe: J. Timothy's Taverne and The Groggy Frog. Punchline: It didn't dethrone the champs... but the experience itself was still pretty great. First, the atmosphere is fantastic. Old wooden booths, high tops, TVs right at the table, KENO(!!!), and that perfect slightly chaotic sports-bar energy that tells you wings are about to happen. The décor fits the town vibe perfectly and the place just feels like a wing institution. The service? Excellent. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic -- exactly the kind of crew you want guiding you through 70+ wing sauces like a sommelier of poultry. Now... the wings. The chicken itself was excellent quality and cooked perfectly. Crispy skin, juicy meat, great size -- everything you want when the wings arrive. When we saw the massive sauce selection, we were ready for wing nirvana. But this is where the prophecy of Yelp reviews past came true. The sauces were delicious in flavor... but thin in viscosity. Instead of lovingly clinging to the wings like a good sauce should, many of them staged a dramatic escape and formed a puddle at the bottom of the platter. So instead of eating wings, we spent half the meal doing a sort of wing-dunking relay, re-dipping each bite back into the sauce lagoon. To be fair, the teriyaki and barbecue-based sauces held on better, but if you're a classic hot-sauce wing person like me, you may find your wings swimming more than sticking. The blue cheese was excellent, the celery and veggies were fresh and crisp... although the carrots were so wide they looked like they were cut for a horse with impressive jaw strength. Credit where it's due: the steak fries were fantastic, and the nachos were surprisingly great -- the kind that taste like something you could make at home... except somehow way better. So where do we land? Great atmosphere. Excellent service. Very good food overall. But on the Connecticut Wing Power Rankings, the crown still belongs to J. Timothy's and The Groggy Frog. Would I come back? Maybe... but on the drive home we passed about six intriguing Brazilian restaurants and a Pepe's pizza, and suddenly my lunch decision tree got complicated. Still, I'm glad we tried it. TK's is a fun spot with a great vibe -- just maybe bring a spoon so you can scoop the sauce back onto your wings. PS: if you stick blend/emulsify some xanthan gum into the wing sauce when you're making it hot... It will stick perfectly to the wings... In case improvement is something you're interested in

    I'm continuing my tour of the great CT wing places. My latest first was TK's. We visited right as…read morethey were opening on a Tuesday around 11 a.m. on our way out of CT on vacation. The focus of our visit for me was wings, but I also tried some tasty cheese topped chili with chips. And my son's steak fries. They were gigantic! As for the wings, the chicken was high quality and had good texture. The blue cheese was above average, and there lots of pieces of celery and carrots. Most of my comments are about the sauce. I tried 3 sauces. The Hot Buffalo Sauce, which I understand is a CT favorite, was good, but it didn't really stick to the wing. Some of the sauce may have been absorbed in to the skin of the wing, but it wasn't that noticeable flavor-wise. There was a small pool of sauce at the Bottom of the basket rather than on the wings. I suspect the wings weren't adequately tossed in the sauce. Or maybe it was a thin batch of sauce and didn't stick for that reason. In any event, the sauce situation was not ideal for the Buffalo wings. My favorite sauce was the Fire & Ice, which consisted of TK's hot sauce, Ranch and Horseradish. This sauce stuck better to the wings. It had a nice rounded flavor. Mild heat, A bit of tang. A very good sauce. My third sauce was the Dragon. This sauce also stuck to the wing well. It consisted of Honeyaki, Ginger, Suicide sauce and seasoned seeds. The sauce was pretty good, but it didn't taste like I expected given the menu description. I didn't pick up any Ginger, which was what I found intriguing about the description. The sports bar/restaurant itself was cool. There were plenty of big TV's. And smaller TV's at the tables along the outside. Service was very good and friendly. I'd definitely check out TK's again. Next time, I'd probably try to visit at a later time when there were a few more customers there because I wonder if some of the sauce issues were related to it being an off peak time. 4.25 Stars

So today went in person I ordered a coconut curry soup young man who waited on me very polite very helpful brought the soup to me. I was all taken back that it was in a cup and not a regular bowl, but after looking at their menu again I realize that sort of their vibe is to have everything like dish. The soup is very bland. It's definitely mean coconut and curry, but there's no depth to the flavor no five spices no ginger no garlic, fish saucer anything very bland could have used some salt no cumin's came with it. Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, nothing on the side no chili crisp no nothing I couldn't find any cilantro. I did find a one leaf of Thai basil and the onions in the soup were raw and pickled which on a banh mi that's delicious but in a soup it was a little strange so I don't know. Maybe I'll go back for a banh mi but I think I'm gonna pass on this place. However, it's very clean in there and the staff was nice and it looks like the people that like it really like it so maybe your taste are different from mine
