“Through he grapevine I heard Dew Drop Inn had the BEST wings in Connecticut, so I made my way here to try them out myself!Atmosphere/Appearance: Let me tell you. It's a windy road to get here. Lol. But set right at a very non-traditional intersection of North Avenue & Roosevelt Drive is this gem. The outside doesn't look like much at all and there's maybe 6 parking spots to the left of the restaurant then there's another business across the street that MAY allow you to park there. At your own risk of course. Once on the inside the spot looks super modern and energetic. The back wall is all brick, the walls are painted with solid colors and there's a lil' easter egg to the right of the front entrance of The Incredible Hulk busting through the wall holding a plate of wings. Lol.Service: We sat right at the bar and the owner Jason was there so he was serving us directly. He was funny, accommodating and just was a genuine good time. Hiba, Meghan and Rachel were also very accommodating.Food: So while here I tried 7 different flavors of the 126 that are offered. I'll break them down one by one...Pink Peppercorn Lemon Thyme: They came out of the kitchen SO HOT. Lol, so be careful not to burn your mouth. They were AMAZING. Deliciously salty from the Himalayan sea salt, lemony and rounded out with some good Earthy flavors.Pink Peppercorn Lemon Curd: This is basically everything I described above, but with a delicious sauce on top. The sauce was a little honey-strawberry-lemon sweetness that complemented the wing excellently.Cilantro Lime Tahini: The cilantro flavor was an excellent base, but this may sound strange... but it almost tasted like refried beans. There was also a good cheesy flavor involved as well. It was so different and executed very well. Not a spicy wing for those that can't handle it.Cajun Garlic Butter Bacon: These were easily the tastiest "looking" wings due to all of the bacon pieces on top and they smelled simply incredible. Again, temperature hot, but these tasted like they were cooked IN a garlic oil. My goodness. The bacon added a meaty, hearty, salty, bacon-y flavor that just went well with the garlic and Cajun seasoning.Truffalo: This one is easy. Truffle and Buffalo mixed together. Excellent. I'm truffle-biased so of course I'd love these, but I could've used more truffle if I'm being honest.Strawberry Habanero: These were refreshing.. The strawberry flavor was very prevalent and it reminded me of a sweet & sour from a Chinese restaurant, buy elevated. I didn't get a lot of heat from these despite the name, but I loved it.Ghostly Habanero: While I didn't find the heat in the last flavor, it was all here. This was the hottest flavor on the menu at the time and rightfully so. These wings were gritty, sweet from the peppers and the heat was INSTANT. The habanero gave that initial jumpstart of heat, but the ghost pepper is the one that ramps up over time. It took about 3 minutes for the heat to FULLY kick in, but it definitely did. I teared up, I was sweating and this is not a wing I could eat a whole bunch of. Delicious though!Peanut Butter & Jelly: These were the hottest temperature wings we've had. Lol. Peanut butter is so incredibly dense so it just held all of that heat in. These were served with fluff as a dipping sauce. They were savory and sweet. Done very well.Value: Chicken wings are already expensive on their own, so adding this level of skillset to cook them, the materials and all brings an order of 6 to $10.99 for "Basic Flavors". "Not So Basic" is 6 for $11.75 and "Basically Ridiculous" as well as "Dessert" wings are 6 for $11.99. You can of course order them in bigger denominations, but there are 100% worth it.In conclusion, sadly, I haven't been back here since June of 2022, but I want to come back SO BAD. It's just literally an hour away from where I live. Lol. I will be back Jason! Thank you for everything.“

“Really nice place. Big outdoor area with 4 separate fire pit spots and a lot of picnic tables. The inside is just as big with two fireplaces. My only issue with the place is they do not let you try a beer before buying it. I'm not sure if that is the policy or the beertender just didn't want to bother letting us (wife and I) try any. We probably would have stayed longer if we were able to try some beers I never had before. They also have a full bar area.“

“First time here. Came out to hear The E Band. The place is not too large. The band takes up a bit of space but we didn't feel crowded. The wait staff was amazing. Very attentive but not bothersome. Our drinks were good, perfect pour. The wings were cooked too hard which made them dry. The fries were so good I ordered seconds They had a special New Year's menu. I would like to come again to try regular menu“

“Had lunch there today. We ordered a side of coleslaw, but they were out of it. The manager offered to make a fresh batch for us. He did & it was delicious! The rest of our lunch was great as well. Sadly the ongoing road construction is affecting easy access to their restaurant. But I can attest to the fact that a meal there is well worth the relatively minor parking hassles!“

“They let us in and were so kind to us 15 minutes before closing when everyone else was already shut down for the night. We were on a roadtrip from Boston home to NJ and very hungry. The place is modern, new, clean, and welcoming. The food was very good. We had fried artichokes, steak tip tacos, stuffed clams, Caesar salad, Buffalo wings, and meatloaf. Everything is made fresh. Nothing was frozen. Portions were large so we took home leftovers. Pricing is affordable. The waitress was so gracious and attentive. She even brought us drink refills before we even asked. If you find yourself in the area I recommend you try this place.“

Having eaten here a handful of times, I can tell you that their food is fresh and delicious. The burgers, salads, entrees and daily specials are fantastic.

Crazy Horse Axe Throwing & Lounge Bar & Grill •
975 Bridgeport Ave, Milford

“I recently visited Crazy Horse Axe Throwing…. what a great night! There were six of us and we opted for one of the virtual lanes so we were able to choose different “games” and throw axes at zombies, ducks, etc. This was my first experience with axe throwing so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. The owner/instructor, Lenny is amazing… he took his time to show us how to properly handle and throw the axe; I felt comfortable asking for help as a first-timer. Even our friends who have axe thrown many times, learned a few tricks! When you visit, make sure you wear closed toe shoes. Not thinking, I wore sandals - fortunately one of my friends had sneakers in their vehicle. The place is in a small plaza and may not look like much from the outside, but it is really nice inside. Very clean and the bar is gorgeous! They also have a billiard area if you’re interested in playing pool. Everyone had a great time and we can’t wait to go back!“

“This is an amazing restaurant! I had the Sammy Salmon and the food was amazing. Super fresh and seasoned to perfection. The kids meals are also a great portion for kids, my daughter is 8 and wasn’t able to finish her plate. For dessert we had the Tres Leches Cake and it did not disappoint, super moist and just the right amount of sweetness. Definitely recommend for the entire family!“
