Not only is the food absolutely amazing and delicious, but the staff are very friendly and welcoming. This most recent visit would make it my third and I can truly appreciate the consistency demonstrated by their staff members as well as the taste of the food they serve. The ambiance is very clean, simple and inclusive. I see a great future for this establishment. Cheers! read more

Haven Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Ordered from their website for ASSP pick up. I was about 13 minutes away. When I arrived my meal was ready. My waffle fries tasted a bit off, they weren't as crispy or crunchy as they could have been. It was giving cardboard box. Also the chicken didn't feel as tender and juicy as it usually did on my other experiences and it was already getting cold. I thought mild had a kick, but maybe I've built a tolerance because I didn't feel it. To top it off the bun was a bit soggy. Next time I'll order in store and hold the sauce. *I realized I meant to get medium spicy level read more

We stopped in here after the aquarium. Very clean with very friendly staff that brings the food out to your table. Ample parking in the lot. Self serve fountain soda. You are able to order at the kiosk or at the counter. The food is good. All the chicken is certified Halal and freshly cooked. The chicken sandwiches can be ordered with varying degrees of spice to your liking. Their signature Rob Sauce is very tasty to use with the fries or chicken. They have limited desserts. The Banana Puddin was light and flavorful with a hint of cinnamon. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in Norwalk. read more

It's the best fried chicken sandwich in Fairfield County. Slaw crunch, fried chicken chrlunch, pickle crunch=DELICIOUS! Service is great too. Love this place. read more

Man this place has good chicken. Among the best spicy chicken sandwich I've ever had. The medium is pretty spicy so just watch out as you're ordering. Really tasty waffle fries and pickles too. The sweet sauce is kind of a maple syrup that goes super well with the chicken. It gets a little pricier - prob between $15-20 per person - but it's well worth it. Delicious food. Good music and vibes inside too, and the staff was friendly as well. read more

Delicious sandwich on par with chick-fil-a...and larger, but the prices...yikes! A plain chicken sandwich and a can of Diet Coke cost $19.00! I wish this fast food chain all the best of luck, because the sandwich IS delicious, but they're going to go nowhere fast with their existing price structure. The inside is as fancy as a White Castle or Krystal. read more

Food: I'd recommend getting the tendies over the sandwich to get the full hot chicken experience. Sadly the chicken in my sandwich had the batter on the bottom side missing...too bad I discovered this after eating half of it so I didn't report it..otherwise it looks poorly on me (ha) The fuego fries were a delicious mashup of cut up tendies, pickles, slaw and fries. Though the fries are already soggy....and the slaw gets warm too so ya gotta eat that up quickly Ambiance: limited seating; bathrooms were clean Would I return? Not likely. I've had better read more

Location: very clean and cashier very helpful as I wasn't sure what to order as this was my 1st time trying this style of chicken. Food: KFC and Garden Catering will not be losing sleep about the food here. Tenders were a great size and cooked perfectly. The chicken coating had a gritty texture that unfortunately stays with you and fouls the meal. The Medium heat level was medium, not very hot at all. The fries needed to stay in the fryer another minute as they had a mealy texture and were very heavily salted ( this from someone who likes salty fries). The "sweet" sauce was like liquid candy - not good on hot chicken. The honey would have been better. The pickles were great. I was excited to try it and was disappointed. I won't be back or try any other of these style nuggets. I threw out the food and will be drinking water the rest of the day due to the high salt content. read more

The food here is every bit as good as others are saying. I came I. For lunch and got THE sandwich combo with the vinegar cream slaw as my side. The sandwich was large, and the medium is just the right amount of spice. The chicken was enormous, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The mix of pickles, slaw and potato bread with the chicken was completely heavenly. When I finished the sandwich, my mouth and tummy cried for more. The slaw is one of the best coleslaw's I've ever had. Just a really really good hot chicken that's on par with the best you'll get in Nashville. read more

Norwalk finally gets to experience the fast casual, hot chicken craze that's been sweeping the nation. I got a to-go order online which was ready when I get there and still hot when I got home. Unfortunately, that's when I realized they forgot my soda. I opened the bag to a big box of chicken and fries and some banana pudding. The chicken tenders are nice and sizable. I got the medium spiced level and it paired greatly with the blue cheese! The fries are perfectly crunchy and the banana pudding was definitely made with love. I don't know if I can regularly justify spending $18+ for a box of three chicken tenders with fries especially since there is more affordable options around, albeit no where near as high quality. Charging 60 cents for seasoning on fries made me roll my eyes a but I do think this place is worth a visit. Good luck on the new opening. read more

Happen to drive by and remembered that I had wanted to try this place out. We ordered: - trio tenders - chicken sandwich - not chicken nugs - Mac and cheese The tenders were for my son so we ordered them countryside level of spiciness (there are a few levels). They were meaty and good. The not chicken nugs are deep fried cauliflower which were pretty good but quite salty. Loved the sliced pickles that came with the nugs and tenders! The sandwich we got in mild which supposedly has just a kick but you can definitely taste the kick! It was pretty good and also very meaty! read more

Was craving a hot chicken sandwich and saw this place nearby and decided to give it a try! I did go at an awkward hour so it was pretty empty and quiet. I ordered The Sandwich with medium spice as a combo meal. The chicken in the sandwich was really good, big, and juicy! I wasn't really a fan of the slaw inside the the sandwich, it was very strong of celery, which I am generally not a fan of but I'm sure others would enjoy it. The side of fries was a really big portion, a box-full, it was nice and crispy, well seasoned. The meal came out to be around $19, which is a bit pricey for a "fast food" meal but I think the quality justifies the price! read more

Nice!! Now I know where to go if I crave favorless white meat and floppy fries... Plus, if you think yourself to be one with marginal spice tolerance... go for HOT or more. Mediums got no bite. read more

Chicken was very good. Had a slight issue. Jason & Craig we're extremely helpful and immediately solved my problem. Nothing but great things to say about these two in their business. read more

We've always enjoyed visiting Haven Hot's New Haven and Orange locations, and the new Norwalk location was just as great! I really like that this location has the most seating out of all of the locations, and is very modern and inviting. Something I really admire about Haven Hot is there continued consistency between locations. Their food was as delicious as ever, and there's always friendly faces behind the counter! read more

I've been to Haven Hot Chicken (HHC) about 4or 5 times. Recently went to Nashville thinking the hot chicken there would definitely be better. actually not! HHC sandwich was bigger, better, fresher. Better fries and side choices. Worth every penny. Pro tip: make sure you understand their heat profiles! Choose wisely and you'll be very happy! Enjoy. read more

Uh oh! This location repeatedly sends out orders with missing items. My advice is to not order pick up or delivery and to quality check your meal yourself. They clearly have no QC here. Manager seems less than interested in correcting problems and more focused on taking orders. read more

Amazing sandwich and amazing service. But bring money. It costs a bit more. Real chicken is used - not the pressed pseudo chicken that the other sandwiches are made of. Great sauce, slaw, bun and pickle too. And the sandwich is huge. But, again, it's not inexpensive. Go on double points days and save money. Friendly crew too. At all the locations I went to. I'm at Norwalk or Fairfield once a week. read more

Food was awesome. We ordered two "the original" chic sandwiches with fries (med heat) and one Chix and waffle. The medium is pretty spicy I really enjoyed. Can't imagine how hot the hot would be! I would have shared a pic but we ate it fast. Wasn't fast food price 65.00 for 3 meals. But I would do it again! It's good. Period. read more

The food was hot, fresh, delivered on time n the price was reasonable. I'd definitely order from here again.

The food is back to normal like when it first opened. Maybe even better ! Service is kind and the ambiance is very clean. I definitely think they hit a rough patch in staff at one point but definitely got it back together !!! Good was delicious and I enjoy the new packaging read more

No spinach needed to beat Popeye's! If you're seeking a refuge from overly-processed, heavily-brined chicken-ish sandwiches, let Haven Hot Chicken-- well-- be your haven. They off a remarkable chicken sandwich that will compel you to drive past the sailor man, the prayerful poultry and the not-so-golden arches when you are craving one. When you see that Haven builds it's sandwich around chicken tenders, know that those succulent poultry parts are aptly named- the meaty interior remains moist while caressed by a deceptively crisp exterior. The cole slaw exudes a bright earthiness that enhances the chicken- a perfect combination that is somehow made even better with pickle slices that pay homage to all that overachieving cucumbers have to offer. Lest you think your Haven experience can't possibly offer any more surprises, just try the mac'n cheese (you can taste the care and craftsmanship that went into the velvety cheese sauce embracing each morsel of pasta). Haven Hot Chicken is well worth a visit. read more

Having previously visited other Haven locations, we were excited to try out the new Haven Hot Chicken in Norwalk for the first time. Our experience at this location was nothing short of fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We placed an order online for takeout, and we were pleased to find that our food was ready at the estimated time. We indulged on the Tendie Trio Combo and the NOT Chicken Nugs. Per usual we were delighted with our choices. The Tendie Trio Combo were tender, and flavorful. The highlight, however, was the NOT Chicken Nugs, which are made from cauliflower. These are hands down the best cauliflower nuggets we've ever tasted. The texture was spot-on, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the seasoning was absolutely delightful. Our dipping trio for the Chicken and Nugs consisted of Rob Sauce, House Ranch, and Blue Cheese. Each sauce provided an extra layer of deliciousness to the already fantastic dishes. The staff at Haven Hot Chicken in Norwalk was friendly and accommodating. read more

Amazing - the quality of chicken is fantastic! I wanted to try a bit of everything - chicken sandwich, chicken tenders, slaw, mac n cheese- it was all delicious. I ordered from Postmates and am not close to this location - the food arrived hot and chicken crispy! Can't wait to come back! read more

Tried Haven Hot Chicken for the first time and had a wonderful experience! The extreeeemely friendly staff helped me explore the menu and decide what I would like best. I don't like spicy at all so I got the country style tendies. I did get honey to add onto my chicken which was delicious. The Mac and cheese had a great cheesy, peppery flavor. 4/5 stars because I ended up spending about $40 for two people. However, quality was excellent! read more

Fries weren't good and over salted. Whatever was on the chicken tenders had a gritty feel to it. Would go to Popeyes or Garden Catering if I wanted chicken and was over there on Westport/Norwalk border. read more

I didn't go crazy hot. I was like medium and next time I will do mild because the chicken itself is really good quality. It's juicy and high quality and really doesn't even need to be covered up with crazy spice. My husband got the off the menu hot and he was like dying but he agreed mine tasted better. I had the slaw on the side and it was amazing. I'm going again. They have great non spicy kids choices country style with Mac and cheese. Taking the kids today. read more

Haven Hot chicken Haven Hot Chicken is one of the first fully dedicated Nashville Hot Chicken concepts in New England. Founded by 5 local restaurateurs, Haven Hot Chicken opened their new Norwalk location. The chicken is available in a variety of heat levels. Each piece is perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The mac and cheese is amazing, perfectly seasoned with quite possibly the best cheese to Mac ratio. If you are craving a spicy chicken sandwich, tenders, nuggets or even vegan options, everyone in your party will be left with a satisfied belly full of greatness. My favorite is the Sweet Heat Bowl. This location is new and often crowded so I recommend ordering online ahead of time to avoid long lines. The prices are a little high compared to other chicken restaurants, but so is the quality. Haven Hot Chicken is the real deal and worth every penny. read more

Not friendly at all. We didn't feel welcome in the restaurant at all. Barely spoke to us and didn't even look at us when handing us our food. For those people who usually ask for a cup of water, good to know they do not offer tap water. They only sell water. ($3) Sandwich was good. read more
