The only reason I come back to Connecticut is not to see my friends, but only to taste those glorious chicken tenders and delicious waffles. Mo, as always, was an absolute stud and made sure it felt like we were the most important customers in the world. I am soon moving and am even offering to open up a new location in Oklahoma if it would be desired. I love it that much. Thank you Cheeks for everything!

I ordered the wings and waffles and she mentioned it would be a bit as everything is made to order. I grabbed a table and the order came out in about 10 minutes. Not a long wait and totally worth it! The wings were hot...temperature hot. Very fresh! I let them cool for a bit and dug in. Excellent crisp and tender meat. I hit the waffle next and it was really good! Nice compliment to the chicken. There was a steady stream of customers who came in for lunch. At one point, the manager/owner (not sure here!) came out and chatted with everyone and acknowledged his repeat customers. He checked in on everyone, myself included and asked how the food was. Definately worth checking out! The inside is really cool; a nice vintage vibe.

We went for happy hour and scored these impeccable Cosmo's for $7 each and they were delicious! We went for their loaded nachos, fried mozzarella sticks and some of their famous wings! We got the doob style (fried then grilled) along with their garlic parm ones and they were quite amazing! I've never had a Doob style but I absolutely loved it, between the char, the hints of buffalo flavor, I'm dying to see how I can make these wings myself! Would absolutely return here in a heartbeat.

I've wanted to try Hard Hat's Doob wings since I heard about them. They're seasoned, Buffalo-sauced…read moreand fried, and then finished on a grill. One of the more unique and famous wings in CT. I was driving in Wallingford and noticed the Hard Hat sign. I immediately changed my plans and decided to order a small Doob Wings. There are two other Hard Hats btw. Hard Hat has a neighborhood bar and restaurant vibe. Not fancy. But fine. The name is Hard Hat after all. LOL Hard Hat seemed to be running on a small crew around Saturday lunch. One person was working the bar and all the tables. She was hustling and service was reasonable considering. From the time I ordered 6 Doob wings, though, it took me about 25 minutes to get them even though there were only three other small groups there. Whether or not you like the Doob wings, largely will depend on whether you like char-grilled chicken. I didn't love the char flavor or outer texture. The inner texture was very good and tender. Also I could have used more sauce. The sauce more or less became a grilled coating. I was happy to try the Doob wings. I respect that they went for something different. I didn't connect with them like some people do. Four Stars

The atmosphere…read moreis exactly what you want in a sports bar -- TVs everywhere playing the latest games, a lively bar area, and plenty of table seating if you're coming in with a group. Whether you want to grab a seat at the bar or sit comfortably at a table, there's a lot of space and it never feels cramped. For food, I ordered the Brussels sprouts off the happy hour menu for $5 and they were so good -- perfectly cooked, flavorful, and a generous portion for the price. I also got the Wings & Things for $9, which came with curly fries and garlic parmesan wings. I love that you can choose between bone-in or boneless depending on what you're in the mood for. Everything came out hot, crispy, and fresh. Between the great happy hour pricing, solid portions, tons of TVs for sports, and a fun, casual vibe, it's definitely a go-to spot for catching a game and grabbing good food. They ordered drinks pretty quickly but it took a while for them to come back for me to order some food other than that the service was good.

I was the only person in the store, but it still took about 16-17 minutes for a 10-piece to come out. While that's not a deal-breaker, it felt like a long stretch for being the first customer of the day with an empty shop. ​The Wings: I went with the Mango Habanero but got the sauce on the side so I could control the heat. This is definitely a winner if you're a fan of spicy food--it's got a great kick and just the right amount of sweetness. If you're sensitive to heat, this might be a bit much for you, but for me, it hit the spot. ​The Quality: The wings were cooked thoroughly and had a nice, golden crisp. One odd thing: the aroma coming from the bag had a distinct "fish fry" smell, almost like the oil was shared with fried fish (even though they don't serve it here). Luckily, it didn't affect the taste at all--the flavor was solid. ​Final Verdict: Overall, I'd give the wings themselves a 6.5/10, and the experience a 6/10. It's not bad for fast-food chicken, just be prepared to wait a bit even if you're the only one there.

After having brunch, I stopped by WingStop in Hamden to try out their 70 cents boneless wing deal…read more It's $7.49 for 10 wings which you can get two flavors, 1 flavor for 5 wings. I opened them straight after they were given to me to eat them hot. I got the flavors Original Hot & Hot Honey Rub. I will say my favorite was the Hot Honey. I loved the crunch and the sweet and savory flavor it had to offer. The Hot ones were okay, just an average hot wing sauce. Their ranch has been hyped for a while and for my first time it wasn't that bad. I would definitely go back again and try some other menu items. I waited about 25 minutes for my order so I would say service is slow but maybe it was a busy day. The inside is has a small area to eat if that's what you're looking to do.
