I’ve been on the hunt for a great local burger joint for over a year, and Hard Hat Cafe in North Haven finally delivered. The burger was spot-on, the fries were crispy, and even the side salad was fresh—a rare combo. Laid-back vibe, friendly staff, and prices that don’t make you second-guess. If you’re still searching, this might be your finish line.

This was a solid lunchtime spot. Went with the family and we had everything we needed the food was as expected American pub food. Is day the food was mostly okay but the doob style wings were a room. I didn't have any mixed drinks on this visit, but there were some fun options that where unexpected that I would go back to explore.

Messed up on my wings and they just threw more seasoning on them and just wasn't great but ive have great wing /food here before drinks are good and cold though worth a stop in
