About us
Haven Hot Chicken brings Nashville-style Hot Chicken and “Not Chicken” to Connecticut and is one of the first fully dedicated Nashville-style Hot Chicken concepts in New England. With locations in downtown New Haven (21 Whitney Avenue), Orange (550 Boston Post Road), Norwalk (596 Westport Avenue), North Haven (146 Washington Avenue), Storrs (1206 Storrs Road), Middletown (coming soon to 524 Main Street) and Newington (coming soon to 12 Fenn Road), the concept was founded in 2020 by local restaurateurs Rob LaTronica (UCONN ’10), Craig Sklar (UCONN ’08), Jason Sobocinski and Etkin Tekin. Serving hot chicken and its “not chicken” vegetarian option, ranging from not spicy to very spicy, the menu is rounded out by traditional southern sides and seasonal limited-time offerings. The restaurant’s convenient locations offer easy online ordering, pickup access and a sizable delivery radius for the surrounding area. Community initiatives include a long-term fundraising partnership with Connecticut Foodshare through “The Great Banana Pudding Drive,” and a commitment to sustainability utilizing biodegradable and compostable silverware, biodegradable and compostable paper packaging produced in the United States, and recyclable packaging beverage options. The restaurant was highlighted in 2023 as one of the “8 Fast-Food Chains that Serve the Best Hot Chicken” around the country by Eat This, Not That!, and winner of The Perfect Pitch concept competition at the 2023 Fast Casual Executive Summit.

Our community always comes first. We wanted to do our part in supporting Oxford after facing the impact of flooding. Thank you to all of the first responders working to support the community. You're the real heroes. This Saturday, Haven Hot Chicken in Oxford will be donating $3 per sandwich sold to the flood fund for the community. We hope to see you there.

It was a great weekend at Fast Casual for Haven Hot Chicken and our very own, Gretchen Bartkus! We ranked in the Top 75 Brands and Gretchen Bartkus was selected as one of the top 25 Executives in the QSR space. Way to go, Gretchen and the rest of our team. It is an honor to be featured on these lists and we'll continue to ride this momentum into our next grand opening in Oxford, CT. See you on June 8th!
What a phenomenal weekend in Chicago! I had the pleasure of joining Fast Casual’s Top 100 dinner alongside Gretchen Bartkus and Jason Sobocinski, where HHC was up for some awards! I couldn’t be more proud to watch Gretchen earn her spot as one of the top 25 Executives in the QSR space, an incredible achievement where she joined some elite company. In addition, Haven Hot Chicken ranked in the top 75 brands in the space, coming in at #67. With our 3.5 years in the space, these awards represent our commitment and relentlessness towards delivering a best-in-class experience and product by a truly phenomenal team. We have a lot to learn and a ton of work ahead of us, but I like to take moments like this to celebrate the team and the incredible things we’ve accomplished together. Let’s go!
