    6 piece Fried Chicken Combo 10 piece Fried Chicken Dinner

    As soon as I found this place online, I knew it was only a matter of time before I had to try it. Today was that day. I ordered the 10 piece chicken dinner, half yaheardme, half lemon pepper for myself, and the 6 piece for my wife. We didnt know. We weren't ready. How were we to know that the meals would come with spanish rice, mac and cheese, and cornbread? In this economy, $19 for 6 pieces of chicken sounded about right; why would we expect more? LET. ME. TELL. YOU. This place FEEDS you, and it feeds you well. I knew I was in the good kind of trouble when I grabbed the bag from the cashier tore my rotator cuff. The meals had heft, the bag must've been reinforced with the power of prayer itself. It was a long ride home, and the fragrance filling my car made me almost miss my exit. Once home, I tore the bag open to relieve it of its duty. It thanked me. I popped the styrofoam top open to the sound of a gospel choir. Oh yes, it was time to eat. Front and center was a piece of cornbread that demanded my attention. I tried to pick it up but was unsuccessful. The cornbread collapsed in my hand. I didn't know cornbread could do that. The cornbread itself didnt know it could do that. I grabbed as much as I could to try and take a bite. It was so tender. It was a cornbread-flavored whisper. It was ethereal. Dark magic was clearly at play here. I had to continue. I stared at my 10 wings, accompanied by heaping scoops of mac and cheese and spanish rice. Where do I start? And how? I grabbed a lemon pepper wing first. Crispy, salty, tangy. Everything I was expecting a lemon pepper wing to be. Next was the yaheardme. The saucier of the 2, I had high expections. And they were met. Sweet, salty, mildy spicy, I had 3 before I realized where I was. I decided to try the mac and cheese next. It was immediately obvious that it was crafted to silence the naysayers. With a pugnent cheese flavor along with noticeable black pepper specks, no one could say that this was underseasoned. Finally, the spanish rice. Well-seasoned, and perfectly textured, it was maddening. As a passionate home cook, I have yet to achieve such a rice myself. It was flawless. Overall, this was an experience. I will be back repeatedly.

    The fish and shrimp are slamming. I've been looking for a place that makes fried fish and enough food for myself and littles when we're in town! This place definitely makes it worth it. I also ordered candied yams. Everything was on point!

    I really wanted to like Trap Chicken, especially after looking at all of the pictures of their food online. I love supporting local black businesses, but Trap Chicken fell short in the flavor of the food. Both the macaroni and collard greens were bland and lacked flavor. The fried shrimp were okay -- not terrible but not spectacular either. I will say that their customer service makes up for the lack of seasoning. When I called to inquire about my order the man who answered was kind and friendly. Although I didn't fully enjoy my food this time around, I am willing to give them another try to check out their other menu items.

    Fried Shrimp Trap Mac & Cheese corn bread

    I got the fish and shrimp. The food was so good. I ate it on the way home. The strawberry cornbread was probably the best part 10 out of 10 would revisit. The service was amazing.

    Found this place by accident with 2 friends and the 3 of us were all very impressed. Ok so me and 2 friends decided to meet up at Rootsman kitchen which is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. Best Jeek chicken on planet earth BUT Rootsman was closed. I believe they traveled to Jamaica so my friend TJ said that Trap Chicken next door is supposed to be good and that he knows 2 people who both really liked it. It didnt like much from the outside but we were already here so we decided to step in and try it. The owner was very friendly and inviting. We grabbed some menus and the 2 of them decided to go with chicken. I went with a burger meal just to switch it up but I asked him to use some hot jerk sauce to kick it up a few notches. We sat and waited as everything is made fresh. Food came out and everyone got quiet as they were focused on their plates. All I heard was chomping and some satisfied type groans. I asked them how their meals were and they said amazing and not one thing they could complain or say could be improved. Main dishes and sides were on point with the flavors and the cooking. Top notch spot. Not sure when I will be back in CT but Trap Chicken has just been added to my favorite CT food spots and we will be back. Thanks guys

    My leftovers. It was a beautiful looking plate but I was too hungry. Sweet Chilli Jerk Wings, Fried Fish, Collards and Mac

    The Sweet Chilli Jerk sauce is AMAZING. I ordered Chicken and Fish with Mac n Cheese and Collard Greens. I asked for the sauce to only be on the chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly!! The mac was delicious. The fish was fried well but lacked flavor. It tasted like there was no seasoning. I wish I asked for the sauce on the fish as well. The collards need some work..no flavor. This was hard because the sauce was so good. I want to try other flavors. I would recommend this place. The portions were great, everything was cooked well. Certain things lacked flavor in my opinion. This could of been an off day. I just know that the sauce has me sold.

    This was my second time ordering from here. I found it on Uber eats and decided to go in person this time. They take your order and then your phone number to call you when it's ready. I knew once that happened it would be a while but didn't anticipate waiting 40 minutes long. When I got home with the food I was pleasantly surprised with the portion I received. I got the sweet chili jerk wings/bbq bacon wings w Mac and cheese and collard greens. Also got a side of fried fish. I must say everything was pretty tasty. The collards were heavy on the salt though so I couldn't eat to much of those. The fish was delicious, thinking about going back there for some more of that soon. Overall this spot is now on the list of food places I like. Looking forward to trying some of their other menu items. I just know to call ahead so I don't have to wait as long next time.
