I've been wanting to try HHC for quite a while because I have a friend who raves about it. I…read morefinally placed an order online to give it a shot and I'm so glad I did! I ordered THE sandwich combo with mild spice, mac & cheese, and of course banana pudding for desert. My sandwich was so juicy, tender, and crunchy! It was perfectly topped with just the right amount of coleslaw, pickles and rob sauce. I got the mac & cheese without spice just to try it, and honestly wasn't impressed. While very creamy, the cheese left a funny after taste I didn't like. Now the banana pudding on the other hand, that was amazing! It reminded me of southern style banana pudding with hints of cinnamon. My husband picked up the order for me. It was ready quickly and the servers were very friendly from what he said. It's definitely a take out place, as there is very little seating. I will gladly order from here again because I'm already thinking about that chicken sandwich again!

Stopped by this location after my college class nearby early evening on a Tuesday. I ordered the…read moreHot Tendie Combo ahead of time, so it was ready to go when I arrived. 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. The tendies had a nice crispy breading and the chicken was juicy. I went with the Hot seasoning level and thought the heat was just right, definitely spicy, but still enjoyable and flavorful. 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.

I ordered 2 hummell dogs with kraut and mustard to go anyway. All the signs said they were $4.50 ea, but after buying a small soda my bill was $14.00! It wasn't until I got into my car to eat them that I started to realize they must have charged me an awful lot for mustard and sauerkraut. I don't feel like going back and making a fuss, but I won't go back to eat there either . Just for the record the man serving me was very nice and the hot dogs were actually pretty good when I finally ate them but I really wanted Sabrett dogs and I guess I'm just going to have to keep looking for them somewhere in Connecticut. I didn't catch it

I needed something quick to go so I just got the fried chicken sandwich. It took about 20 min for my order to come out, though there seemed to be quite a lot of phone and delivery orders coming out in the meantime. Their prices overall seem great, and I was pleased with the freshness of my sandwich! The restaurant itself is a smaller diner with both booths and bar seating but I opted to take my food to go. I will definitely be back to try some of their 50 cent wings or their buy one get one free plates next time I'm in the area!

Since I put my man onto Drumstik's s a month ago, he's been craving it. On a Friday night around…read more8pm he tried calling a few times to place an order, but nobody answered, and even the online ordering wasn't working for him. We checked online and it said they were open, so we just drove over, even though I thought they might be closed. To our surprise, they were open, but because we couldn't order in advance, we had to wait for the order we were trying to have ready for pickup. It was pretty annoying that nobody was picking up the phone, that's bad business. I waited in the car while my man went in. Don't ask me why he thought coleslaw was the only side that came with the family meal, it looked gross and nobody in our house even wanted to touch it. The JJ fries were okay, nothing amazing, but the fried chicken was good as usual. Maybe they were just too busy or maybe they ignored business because they didn't want to work hard, so they didn't answer the phone and ignored their online ordering system. Overall, the chicken never disappoints, but they really need to prevent people from wasting time. We'll probably keep coming back for the chicken.

We came here for dinner the other day. I was kind of skeptical on it but i was surprised. My view…read moreof chicken joints lately is that i expect higher quality do to the competition. We got a bucket of chicken and a side order of wings. The chicken was fried fresh and served hot and juicy. I literally bit into a thigh and it burst. It was nice and crispy. We had a bunch of sides but I only had the mac and cheese and some potato wedges. The mac and cheese tasted great creamy and flavorful. The potato wedges were hot and crispy too. Service was fairly quick. Considering they fry the chicken to order. I would definitely come back soon.

Pulled Pork had a hint of smoke, but I felt it was slightly dry (this was because it was chopped so much, that takes out the moisture). Wasn't bad, but it also wasn't the best I've had either (please understand that I spent 2014 in the Deep South, I've eaten at numerous Q joints in Northern Alabama, so my standards are high). Generous portion of meat though. Mac & Cheese was excellent, made just the way I like it. Most places it's too saucy, but not here. Coleslaw was alright, it was mayo-based, not like Southern vinegar-based coleslaw. Overall, my tummy left full, but I wasn't overwhelmed with great flavor. I do appreciate what these guys are doing in New Haven, Connecticut and I wish them the best of luck. Might come back for wings in the future.

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.

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.
