    Blue Cheesy, Parm Butter Bacon Garlic, General Tao's, Cheesy Garlic Bread, and Peanut Butter & Jelly
    Andrea L.

    The Dew Drop Inn seriously has so many options of wing flavors! That said, the staff isn't always the friendliest. I've been a few times and both times the guy at the door was pretty standoffish. The space is 100% a bar and very tight, but the wings are worth it. Probably sticking to takeout in the future, but the flavors are still something to try for yourself.

    Drove an hour and a half just to try the 2nd best wings in Connecticut and we were not disappointed. We will be thinking of the peanut butter and jelly wings dipped in fluff forever and will have to be back sooner than later. All of the things were perfectly crispy. Perfect little hole in the wall spot, plenty of indoor seating whether that be at a high top or at the bar. The service was top tier, our waiter was friendly, and on top of our needs. We were immediately greeted when we entered as well. Also bonus the women's bathroom was pristine.

    I came here with some friends and my cousin. My friends said they were going to Dew Drop Inn and invited my cousin and I to come. Also, I wanted to give them another try because I came here years ago, and the wings were good. Their wings start at twelve dollars for six wings, so it's about two dollars a wing. Also, you can't mix the flavors when ordering the wings. You have to order a set of wings for each flavor, which can be expensive. I ordered the Sweet Chili Asian wings, and my other friends ordered from the not-so-basic wing menu, which has outrageous wing flavors. I didn't try their wings, but they said they enjoyed them. I stick with basic wings because I need to know how they taste before proceeding. Since I haven't been there in years, I kept it simple. The wings I ordered were okay, but missing flavor and seasoning. I have noticed places that make wings miss the mark with seasoning. The establishments just fry the wings and put sauce on them. The sauce was delicious, but if the flavor and seasoning are missing, then for me, it misses the mark. The customer service was great, and the waitress was very attentive, outgoing, and friendly

    Unpopular opinion, not the best wings. We tried a bunch of different ones, personally I felt the actual wings were a little dry. The sauces are definitely what makes this place a big deal. As much as I love heat I didn't care for the spiciest sauce, it's a habanero base but it just doesn't have any flavor or maybe vinegar. Like burn your mouth heat but lacked an actual flavor, was more like a salsa. Peanut butter and jelly wings were my favorite, which I never would've thought I would like.

    We came here on a whim because wings sounded exactly like what we wanted. Honestly, we were torn between two places, but as soon as I saw the fun, flavor-packed menu, I was sold. This was my first time here, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It's a cute little dive bar tucked into the hillside. The parking situation wasn't great, but we found a small lot nearby, so it worked out perfectly. We were greeted right away and sat at the bar. I was surprised there was just a menu for the wings just two full pages--everything sounded so good that choosing was the hardest part. We ended up ordering three different flavors (six wings each). Caramel Soy (my pick): I knew this was going to hit, and it absolutely did. If you've ever had Korean fried chicken with a soy glaze, it had a very similar flavor profile:savory, slightly sweet, super addictive. The best part? It came with a fluffy dipping sauce. So fun. The wings were crispy and tender, easily my favorite of the night. Hot Garlic Butter (my girlfriend's pick): This one leaned more toward a classic buffalo-style sauce. Delicious, with chunks of garlic throughout. Not the most adventurous flavor, but exactly what we needed for a little spice. These wings were more heavily coated, so the skin wasn't quite as crispy, but the flavor held up. Solid 8-9/10. Cilantro Lime Tahini (our mutual pick): A bit out there for wings. I liked the flavor, but it felt better suited for a salad than chicken. Definitely our least favorite, but still not bad. 6.5/10. Overall, we'll be back--I want to try all the flavors!

    Great service, excellent mango cocktail! The wings were great as well! Flavorful, crunchy and tangy! The green beans were accompanied by a nice wasabi dip which paired very well. The espresso martini was also quite delicious. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the neighborhood!

    This is the place to check out. The variety of wings is absolutely amazing, but the wings themselves are so delicious. The staff here is amazing with all of their suggestions, whether it is wings or drinks to go along with it. Can't wait to come back from my next visit to this place as it is amazing

    Came here since we were in the area kind of. Also, because I've had some co-workers mention this place. The parking area is very limited and not for trucks. Small compact cars would fit perfectly. But, having a pickup truck I stuck out of it a bit. Walked in with my husband and went to the bar. Got a menu and was a bit overwhelmed with it. It had so many different types of wing flavors you can choose from. Too many that I don't know what to get. We asked the lady behind the bar to help us decide. And two out of the three flavors were decent. I can't remember what the third flavor was. I remember it had jalapeños and I think nacho cheese. Not really my cup of tea. The wings were good. Not the best. But, just good. I guess if you like a wide variety of wings from sweet to savory. This is your place. Because they did have dessert wings. Not sure if I'd like chocolate on my wings. But, like I said they were good not bad. Would I go again. Probably not just because it is an hour and some change drive from home.

    We stopped in last night. This bar is known for the best wings in Connecticut. They have over 110 wing flavors. We went with a not so basic Honey Teriyaki and waffle fries. Our food was good, but nothing extraordinary. The waitresses were sweet and checked in often. Since it was a Tuesday night around 9pm it was pretty quiet. We got our food promptly. They were playing the world series games on several tvs most of the patrons were watching it. They check ID as soon as you walk in. They are very strict about it. I saw them turn away young students because of expired IDs. This is our second time stopping when in the area. Last time it was on a Saturday night and it was insanely busy. We enjoyed our quiet experience much more.

    Garlic bacon wings, so good!

    Hands down the best wings I've ever had. They were nice and meaty so it was filling. I brought my daughter and I felt it was a comfortable family atmosphere as other people brought their kids as well. The service was very friendly! Will definitely go back and highly recommended.

    Not the best picture because we had already dove in :-)

    Absolutely loved this perfect little dive from the moment we walked in. The two bartenders were friendly, welcoming, they just gave off positive energy and good vibes. I had a Bloody Mary which was delicious and I'm extremely picky with my drinks. My boyfriend had a tequila and pineapple. The menu is overwhelming and I literally wanted to try so many different things. We ordered bbq teriyaki wings, sweet chili Asian wings and honey mustard. We also had the drunken waffle fries. The food came out quickly and was delicious. My one complaint would be that I wanted them slightly more well done. I cannot wait to go back to try more of their wing variations and I also want to have the pumpkin cheesecake - yum!

    These are 1 of the top 2 best wings you can get in the state of Connecticut. Whether it's the first or second can be debated. Dew Drop is located in an unassuming, damn-near isolated bar in Derby, CT. From the outside, it looks like a place where bikers would congregate and on the inside it kind of looks like it too, but what you can't see from an initial visual inspection is that they are slinging serious magic in that kitchen. If that's not your vibe, do not be deterred, I promise it's worth it. If you're like my friends and I who have to go out of our way to get here, you're probably here for the wings. Get the wings. They're not cheap and the price increases based on the category of sauce you get. I recommend getting at least two flavors. Speaking of flavors, there are a lot, like way more than you will ever have a chance to try. Many of them are traditional styles and remixed or combination variations of others. My favorite is the honey buffalo. I haven't deviated too far from the wings on the menu, but everything I've had is genuinely delicious. There's solid rotating beer rotation and the staff is always super friendly and accommodating.

    I don't get the hype. We drove about an hour out to this spot after hearing great things about their wings and large selection. Sliders really fell off over the last few years so I've been looking for a new spot. The parking lot is tiny. The place is definitely a dive. Don't mind these things, just letting you know what to expect. Get there by 3 or you won't find parking or a seat! I appreciate their large selection of draft beer with plenty of local breweries on tap. Their food menu is huge considering they're known for their wings. So even if you want something ride there's plenty to choose from. We had pretzel bites to start and the cheese was so good I actually took the leftovers home! On to the wings: Hot buffalo was under sauced and seemed more like mild. Mango Teriyaki BBQ - where's the mango? They were ok. Cajun Garlic Butter was by far the best. Great flavor. A little heat but still nice and garlicky. The wings were average size and not quite as crispy as I'd like but still not a bad wing overall. I guess I expected a lot more and maybe that's why I was disappointed. Prices aren't exactly cheap either! For me, Groggy Frog destroys this place when it comes to wings and has the same dive bar atmosphere. It's also 30 min closer for me. I wouldn't return here, even if I was in the area #disappointed

    Ask the Community - Dew Drop Inn

    Are the wings gluten free?

    The chicken wing itself is gluten free, it's the sauces that can be at question

    Does the Dew Drop Inn have boneless wings?

    Not boneless wings, per se, but they will put any of the sauces on chicken tenders.

    What flavor is the hands down, number one, set your pants on fire hottest wings your can order?

    Our hottest wing is the suicide wing. It can only be ordered and consumed inside the restaurant. It is brutal and will make you very uncomfortable.

    Just discovered this wing restaurant, had never heard of it before and am glad I didn't because we…read morewould have been discouraged from walking in. Most of the reviews we read were pretty negative and had I read them before we stopped in we would not have! I think if you going to dine there the biggest complaints are probably all true. They are understaffed in the kitchen and dining room (there is a sign on the door that says they're hiring) the wait for help and food is WAY TOO LONG. That said, the two employees we eventually spoke with were extremely nice and helpful and knew their menu. The food was very well made and exceptionally tasty. The portions generous and the price good. So we're hoping that in the future our called ahead "pick up" service will overcome the most common complaint. Although the person who took our order (she has worked for them for 14 years...that says good thing about the company) was extremely helpful, however it took 45+ minutes to get our two person, not a super large takeout order. The interior rooms are very large, there were two men at the bar (in another room) and only one table with 4 diners in the main room. There were a least 20 tables and booths that I could see in the room I was in....so the dining rooms were very empty yet it was lunch time. Initially there was no one at the front desk to greet us, I had to walk into the dining area and gently call out and someone came out of the kitchen (a buzzer on the front desk going into the kitchen would help them!). After she helpfully took our order she went into the kitchen and we never saw her again. We waited...and waited. Much later the manager happened to come out. He was very nice and explained that when you ask for "extra crispy" it takes longer...but 40 minutes? And I had only asked for extra crispy fries! He did go in the kitchen, let me know they were "working on it" (still?) and it was almost ready. At that point two other orders were brought out by the woman who had greeted us. And then our order came out about 5 more minutes later. BTW, our order was for only two people...not a big order. It looks like they do a big take out place. It's no wonder with all that loud music and so many tv sets running it's really not enjoyable being inside the restaurant. It's a marketed for teens OR folks who want to watch tv and eat (why go out)? The place is very clean. It was 12:30 on a week day and we were surprised that barely anyone was there even tho the parking lot for all the other stores and restaurants was filled with cars. The food is better than the average wing place with lots and lots of variety and well thought out optionsl The menu is large with offerings other than wings. Even the fries tasted like real potatoes!! Thinly cut, fresh and not overdone. Our wings where mixed as we requested (with bones or without bones, all kinds of marinades. The wings they advised us about being hot...were, but not so hot you cuoldnt eat them! Take their advise tho! The sauces were very well made and the chicken well cooked. Very tasty chicken (not "fowl" as we suspect more and more being sold as chicken even in good supermarkets) and wings were a good size, small and meaty but not tiny. And it came with a large drink. No complaints at all about the food...or the employees...just the incredible amount of time it took. So we shall try to call in an order and pick it up. If we have another very long wait then we will ;ile;y not go back. And we will try to go and pick up a while before dinner time, not during rush hour or weekends! I think that will give them a fair shake! They definitely need help but if you're looking for more than "decent" wings...this is the place! We will NEVER eat there, the ruckus would be torture (and maybe that's a decision a lot of would-be customers have made and why it was so empty...does this really work for them? The thing I wonder is, if you're food is good enough (and for what is is it's way better prepared than most) why ruin your sit down business making it so chaotic with noise?). And yes, we're "older" but love all kinds of music. We're just not deaf. Surely people don't need a tv everywhere their heads turn! It distracts from the pleasure of the eating. I guess I just don't "get "sports bars". If your food is this great don't you want to appeal to a less specific diner as well instead of losing them a clients? All that said we will come back to order again. Hope it not "just once more". We shall add 10 minutes onto whatever time they tell us it will be ready for pick up tho. I think that's as fair as we can be. Yes, I recommend the food! It was delicious.

    1 hour for wings and fries…read more That's all I gotta say. Just absolute incompetence all around.
