Thought it was closed when we first went but the owner quickly opened the door and let us know that he was just cleaning the floors haha. We had the place to ourselves and the owner was friendly and inviting. The food was made fresh and both burgers were delicious. Would recommend and will definitely come again! (We had the 259 Orange burger and the Jolly Dangles burger)
A semi hidden gem in New Haven! Both the food and service were excellent for our birthday dinner, party of three. The owner, who is also the chef, greeted us and took his time discussing the delicious menu items. He told us that nothing is pre-made, everything is made from scratch. Where in Connecticut can you find that? We started with a draft beer, a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and an alcoholic raspberry lemonade which was so good our son ordered a second one. For starters we ordered the Wild Cauliflower (Tempura batter, cauliflower floret, Aleppo pepper, warm bleu cheese, and shaven cucumber). And for the main course we had two orders of the 259 Orange burgers (Short rib and chuck patty, provolone, fried egg, bacon strips, avocado, lettuce) and the Griddled Romain (grilled romaine, shaved Parmesan, crisp corn, vine ripe tomatoes, Caesar, balsamic, drizzle, hormone free chicken and tortilla strips. The food was 10/10, delicious. The total bill without tip was $85. Highly recommend this restaurant!
This was our first time at Dangles I just searched for a bar with great reviews and a great menu and I'm so glad that we gave this place a chance. Our drinks were great, the food was pretty good but most importantly the atmosphere is what truly gave us the best experience. It was a one-man show as we watched James balance being our host, our bartender, our DJ and our cook. I'm not sure why it seemed like he was doing everything on his own but he made it look effortless and there was only one other table there besides ourselves so there was no wait. He was personable and accommodating me and the girls will definitely be back this might be our new spot! Taylor
Uncle Frank — he’s the whole reason for coming to Dangles. Warm, welcome, and such a great life story! Open mic — I got yelled at because as I was trying to leave a woman kept asking me questions and all I was trying to do was stand by the door to politely listen to the last comic before I left. She kept talking loudly to me and was hard of hearing. So he yelled at me. I left.
Incredible food, service, and environment!! From the minute we walked in, we felt welcome. We ordered the Jolly Dangles and the 259 burgers - both were amazing, the best burgers we’ve ever had. Especially with the side of plantains and dipping sauce. It’s clear how much care is put into the food and service. Can’t wait to go back and try out the rest of the menu!
