Chicken Restaurants near Hamden

“We visited Dave’s Hot Chicken on Dixwell Ave in Hamden, and it was an excellent experience. We ordered the hot chicken sandwiches, Dave’s Bites, and the top loaded fries, and everything was full of flavor. The chicken was seasoned really well, with real spices you can actually taste. The “hot” level was genuinely hot, which means the “extra hot” must be seriously spicy!
The place was busy and full, and we could tell people were happy with both the service and the quality of the food. We were greeted at the cashier by a very friendly lady named Shantay, who walked us through the menu. We sat at a clean table, and the whole restaurant, including the bathrooms , was impressively clean.
We really enjoyed the chicken here, and I’m pretty sure we’ll be coming back again… and again. Highly recommended!“

“It was ok - they put the wrong order in a lot“

“I must say the popeyes in Hamden is the best one around. Considering I have one in my town but the food isnt fresh there and the people arent friendly..so its worth drivn to Hamden to popeyes cuz they are friendly and the food is always fresh..great service no complaints..“

“I went to Southern Dishes, Seafood, & Desserts in Meriden today. When I say they truly have southern soul food, it’s an understatement. The food was definitely well seasoned, chicken falls off the bone, cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious!“

“Visited the Middletown ct restaurant. Clean , professional and outstanding southern chicken. The manger was awesome and was very friendly.“

“The sandwich was absolutely delicious! I chose the medium spicy chicken and it was just right for me.....spicy and yummy. Braver souls can choose spicier options. The cole slaw was a perfect match for the sandwich too, a touch of spicy too! Highly recommend tjis restaurant. Best meal I've had in town.“

“I had an amazing experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken, and a huge part of that was thanks to Ryan. From the moment I walked in, Ryan brought nothing but great energy, professionalism, and top-tier customer service. He was friendly, patient, and made sure my order was exactly right, all while keeping a positive vibe even during a busy rush.

It’s rare to see someone who genuinely cares about the customer experience, but Ryan definitely does. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and that kind of service makes you want to come back again and again. The food was fire as always, but Ryan’s attitude and attention really took the visit to another level.

Dave’s Hot Chicken is lucky to have him, give that man a raise. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Went today. Asked for a chick fil a sandwich with EXTRA pickles - this is what I got?!!“

“AMAZING ! BEST SPOT IN TOWN !

I’m traveling for work so I have to eat out everyday, I’ve found my go to place ! I’ve tried like 8 things on the menu.

1. The Gyro, very good, very filling & worth every cent ! Ask for extra white sauce.

2. Mixed over rice ! Probably the best thing on the menu next to the chicken wings. Truly is just gas !!!

3. Hot wings, juicy, crispy, flavorful ! WORTH EVERY CENT !

4. 2 piece Fish, pretty good, not my favorite but isn’t a disappointment at all.

5. Seafood salad, BEST SIDE !!

6. Cheeseburger is hella good too, worth the $6, I’ve got that twice.

SO OVERALL, mixed over rice, hot wings, or gyro over pita are my highest recommendations !

Oh, & the salad is good too !

Next time I’m gonna try the butter chicken

“5-Star Vibes at Harp’s Grill Bar & Grill – West Haven

This was my second or third time visiting Harp’s Grill Bar & Grill, but my first time actually sitting down to eat—and I’m glad I did.

I stopped in for what I like to call a “late-night snack” and ordered some wings. Let me tell you, those wings were delicious. Thursday night also happened to be karaoke night, and the vibe was exactly what I needed. The atmosphere was laid-back, welcoming, and full of good energy.

If you’re 35+ and looking for a relaxed, grown-folks setting with a mix of cultures, good food, and good music, this is definitely a spot to check out. All cultures and all vibes are welcome here.

From what I observed, the woman I believe to be the owner—Tasha—runs a tight ship. As a fellow business owner, I appreciated the way she handled things. Respect.“

“We had a terrific experience there after my son’s baseball game. I believe the employee’s name was Petagaye that I would like to recognize. She is exactly what superior customer service should look like in the food industry. She was extremely friendly, helpful and attentive to the customers. What an asset to your team!“

“It was my first time going to a Popeyes and I loved it. The chicken sandwich was very soft and crunchy but melted in your mouth with the mayo, but my Mac n cheese was sort of sad and very creamy but very very cheesy. I received my order within 30 seconds of ordering and the restaurant despite being in a somewhat sketchy area was nice inside and very clean and welcoming. Loved it here, definitely coming back“

“listen...Monterey got it right! the classic chicken is the truth! you don't have to ride out to the North Haven chicken place anymore, new Haven has its own!“

“Warning: Although the manager isn’t friendly and rude the staff does not merit a bad review. Instead I just stopped coming here and I went to the other chicken place.

Sure the $6 meal is back and it’s delicious, it is not worth it if they forget to pack the fries or a side dish. That’s what happened to me and since I was stopping by there daily or every other day I did not care.

The next time I went I asked for Jose who is the one who helped me most of the week. He wasn’t there. Jasmine was working and she knew I was a regular customer. She did not pack my order, so she asked the manager.

When the manager (short lady with black hair) came to me she questioned me as if I was trying to scam Popeyes. I told her Jose had missed putting my fries and told her I was a regular customer. She agreed to let me have the fries I was owed but it came with an attitude and trying to belittle me.

I encourage you to open your box and make sure to double check your order before you leave. No matter how nice Jose and Jasmin are they only hand you the meal.

I have had nothing but great experiences at the red and white chicken place for $1 less.

The pictures are from a previous meal.

Parking: Be careful pulling in so you don’t hit the median as you turn into the parking lot. I saw a few cars jump it.“

“I was able to make a order and pay for it and leave to come back and get it. The place was very clean and the workers are the best yet to be hired. And talking about fresh food,yeah pass by McDonald's and go here to get your free chocolate cookies with certain orders. I love this place !!“
