A Hamden institution. Classic old school Hamburger & Hotdog drive-in, with seafood options. Very good Hotdogs, footlong Hummels. Onion rings, made fresh in house. Don't forget to go next door to Kelly's for ice cream.

The last time I was being here in 2019, and I came back again because I missed their hot dogs and ice cream. It's hard to believe they've been around since 1955. If you're in Hamden, don't miss checking in here.

This is a favorite restaurant of anyone that knows about it for decades
It has the best lobster rolls Connecticut style that you’ve ever eaten
It also has whole body clams, which are almost impossible to find
And if you want something unusual, order
Fringe which is a combination of delicious onion rings and french fries
They also have giant hotdog what you feel like them burnt. Just tell them burn it.
