I stumbled upon a surprisingly delightful and reasonably priced gem in downtown New London. I had anticipated exorbitant prices for food and drinks, but I was happily surprised to find expertly crafted cocktails priced at only $8 each. The restaurant is well-known for its wings, so I felt compelled to try the six-piece Thai Chili wing platter. They were absolutely amazing! The chicken was tender, the skin was perfectly crispy, and each piece was generously coated in delicious sauce. They offer an impressive range of flavors, providing plenty of options for diners. I also enjoyed a bowl of the evening's special soup, which was a seafood chowder—equally delicious and reasonably priced. In tota...
We needed a highchair, and not only did they have several on hand, but they also disinfected it right at our table without us even asking! I ordered a Budweiser in a bottle, and it was fantastic. Our waiter, Joseph, was extremely attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The wings were exceptional and quite filling! We never felt rushed and truly enjoyed our Sunday night dinner. Joseph was very knowledgeable, answering all our questions about the menu and providing great recommendations on the spiciness of the Cajun fries. I really wish I had taken pictures of our food, but we devoured it before I had the chance! Thank you, Joseph, for a wonderful evening!
I booked an Airbnb for a weekend in New London, and I discovered that the owner also manages Hot Rod Cafe. We decided to give it a shot, and I'm so glad we did! I ended up ordering more food than I anticipated. We tried the garlic lemon pepper wings, lumpias, a Philly cheesesteak wrap, the Caribbean burger, and a few Tox Sours from a local brewery. The restaurant has a lovely seating area in the back that overlooks the water. The atmosphere is very relaxed, our waitress was incredibly friendly, and the place was clean. I can confidently say that this will be a must-visit on my next trip to New London.

I went to this restaurant for happy hour and left feeling quite let down. The sign outside promised $10 pitchers and half-priced wings, but when we sat down, the waitress told us that the happy hour special only included half-priced wings—no pitchers available. To add insult to injury, when we got the bill, she explained that the half-priced wing deal only applied to orders of 10 wings, not 5. This felt like a significant deception. To make matters worse, the wings themselves were not good at all.
This place is seriously awesome. Shoutout to their staff—everyone was friendly and attentive from the moment I walked in until I left. The wings were delicious, and the food was fresh and served hot. I’m looking forward to coming back in the summer when I’m sure it’s an even better spot to hang out.
The staff was attentive and provided excellent service. The wings were tasty, the beer perfectly chilled, and the menu offered so many specials it was hard to choose. We’ll definitely return.
I had one of the best wing experiences ever! The mango habanero sauce is incredible—sweet with just the right kick of spice. It’s perfectly balanced! I’m eager to try more of their sauces.

We booked an Airbnb for a weekend in New London, and it turns out that the owner also runs Hot Rod Café. We decided to check it out, and I'm really glad we did. It turns out...
The wing special was absolutely worth it. However, it was a bit disappointing that the TVs in the back room weren’t able to show the World Cup on Fox.
