Restaurant Reviews by Daym Drops
Johnny Rockets
Milford, United States — American/Burgers
Daym Drops visits Johnny Rockets in Milford, Connecticut and raves about the Smokehouse Double burger, praising its tenderness, juicy meat, crispy bacon, and flavorful sauce despite its messiness. The onion rings are crispy and excellent, though the ranch dressing disappoints.
Chick-fil-A
Connecticut, United States — Fast food/American breakfast
Reviewer was heavily disappointed with Chick-fil-A's breakfast offerings, calling it the worst of breakfast week. Only the hash browns and coffee stood out positively, while most sandwich items suffered from poor egg quality and execution. He concludes Chick-fil-A should stick to their chicken biscuits and avoid their other breakfast items.
KFC
Connecticut, United States — Fast food / Fried chicken
The reviewer tried KFC's new Twister snack wraps and found them disappointing. While the crunchy batter and spicy sauce had some merit, the overall quality fell short of expectations, with the fries being mushy and the signature KFC flavor missing. He rated the Twister 1.8 out of 5, expressing that KFC has done much better in the past.
99 Restaurant
Connecticut, United States — American casual dining
The reviewer was pleasantly surprised that 99 Restaurant is still in business and operating well. The menu items impressed with high-quality executions across appetizers, entrees, and desserts, with standout dishes being the Boom Boom Shrimp and the chocolate chip cookie. Overall, the reviewer felt the food quality and value exceeded expectations for a QSR location.
Burger King
Connecticut, United States — Fast Food / American
Daym Drops reviews Burger King's new candy bacon options, highlighting the excellent maple bourbon candy bacon Whopper and the potential of their new croissant breakfast sandwich. However, he strongly criticizes their rubbery folded eggs and urges them to switch to McDonald's style cracked eggs to compete in the breakfast market.
Popeyes
Connecticut, United States — Fast Food - Cajun/Seafood
The reviewer tried multiple items from Popeyes including the spicy fish sandwich, fried pickles, biscuits, and garlic parmesan shrimp, all of which he praised highly. He noted that Popeyes offers excellent value compared to other quick-service restaurants, delivering delicious food at low prices. Overall, he gave the experience a very positive rating, calling it nearly perfect execution.
McDonald's
Connecticut, United States — Fast Food / Burgers
Daym Drops reviews McDonald's new limited-time Big Arch burger and finds it to be their best burger offering, giving it a perfect five stars. While the fries were disappointing and stale, the Big Arch impressed with its quarter pound beef patties, white cheddar, special sauce, and fried onions, becoming even better when topped with hot honey sauce.
ShopRite - Mrs. G's Food Section
Not specified, United States — American Prepared Foods / Deli
Dame Drops reviews Mrs. G's prepared foods at ShopRite for the first time in his 17-year review career. While the fried chicken and butter pound cake were excellent, most items including the sandwiches and ribs were disappointing due to quality ingredients and poor preparation.
Burger King
Not specified, United States — Fast Food / Burgers
Daym Drops reviews Burger King's new Whopper and is thoroughly impressed with the upgrades. The thicker, buttery bun, creamier mayo, and quality ingredients create a complete, flagship-quality burger that tastes significantly better than previous versions. He enthusiastically recommends it to any Whopper lover.
Applebee's
New Orleans, United States — American / Cajun-inspired
Applebee's new Bourbon Street menu items impressed the reviewer, particularly the Big Easy Burger which was described as orgasmic and explosive with perfectly juicy beef and flavorful andouille sausage. The bayou shrimp bowl was good but slightly less impressive with some drier elements. The triple chocolate dessert and Young Wild and Free fruit punch drink rounded out an outstanding experience.
Dave's Hot Chicken
Los Angeles, United States — American, Fried Chicken, Spicy
The reviewer visited Dave's Hot Chicken and was challenged by the general manager Gabby to try their new Reaper edition mozzarella sticks in a spice roulette format. After closing his eyes and randomly selecting a stick, he bit into what he believes was the Reaper level, which caused intense burning pain and left him unable to complete the review of their Froot Loop shake.
Chick-fil-A
West Hartford, United States — Fast Casual American/Chicken
The reviewer visits Chick-fil-A in West Hartford to try their new Jalapeno Ranch Club sandwiches and new strawberry hibiscus drinks. While the waffle fries and frozen strawberry hibiscus drink are excellent, the new Jalapeno Spicy Chicken Sandwich disappoints with insufficient heat and barely noticeable jalapeno flavor, earning only a 3/10 rating from the self-proclaimed spice king.
Square Peg Pizza
Not specified, United States — Italian/Pizza
Daym Drops visits Square Peg Pizza and orders mozzarella sticks, garlic bruschetta bread, and creates a custom off-menu shrimp and meatball pizza with hot honey on white sauce. The reviewer loved the flavors and seasoning throughout, rating the custom pizza an 18 out of 20, with the only critique being he wished it had slightly more char on the crust.
Blue Haron Crearyy at Parkville Market
Hartford, United States — Beverages - Dirty Sodas
Daym Drops visits Blue Haron Crearyy at Parkville Market in Hartford, Connecticut to sample all 12 dirty soda flavors on the menu. The standout flavor is the Georgia Peach (Dr. Pepper, Georgia Peach, and southern cream), which impresses with its strong, dessert-like peach cobbler notes, while other top picks include the Alien and Blue Shirley Temple. The experience showcases creative flavor combinations and excellent value with refills at half price.
Five Guys
Farmington, United States — American Burgers and Hot Dogs
A nostalgic revisit to the Five Guys location in Farmington, Connecticut where the reviewer shot his original food review almost 14 years ago. The reviewer praises the quality and consistency of the burgers, hot dogs, and fries, noting that Five Guys delivers excellent flavor and quality despite the higher price point. He concludes that Five Guys remains a reliable choice in the burger game that does not disappoint.
Cheesecake Factory
Hartford, United States — American
Daym Drops visits Cheesecake Factory to try their new bites and bowls menu items, spending about 50 dollars. He loves the chicken and biscuit bite with its smoky gravy and perfectly balanced sweet-savory-spicy flavors, but finds the southern fried chicken bowl's batter lacks seasoning. The star of the show is the new peach cheesecake with raspberry drizzle, which he praises as an explosive and fresh-tasting dessert.
Outback Steakhouse
Not specified, United States — Australian-American Steakhouse
Daym Drops reviews Outback Steakhouse's new Down Under Trio and other items, finding them underwhelming despite affordable pricing. While the strawberry peach refresher and chocolate chip skillet dessert impressed, the main trio items lacked the flavor impact and elevation needed to be truly exciting.
Little Caesars
Not specified, United States — Italian-American / Pizza
Daym reviews Little Caesars Four N One Stix, a budget-friendly pizza stick offering featuring cheese, pepperoni, bacon, and jalapeno varieties at $7.99. While the pepperoni and bacon sticks impressed with good flavor and crispy ends, the crust lacked optimal crunchiness. Overall, he rates them a 4 out of 5, praising the affordability and commitment to keeping prices accessible for families.
Wendy's
Not specified, United States — Fast Food, American
Daym Drops reviews Wendy's new cheesy bacon cheeseburger and its spicy chicken sandwich variant. The spicy chicken sandwich earns a 5.0 rating for its exceptional flavor profile, soft bun, and spicy kick, while the cheeseburger scores 3.8 for being good but less impressive than its spicy counterpart.
Taco Bell
Not specified, United States — Mexican/Fast Food
Daym Drops reviews Taco Bell's new Cantina Chicken Rolled Quesadilla and Cantina Steak Rolled Quesadilla, praising the improved chicken quality, spicy creamy sauce, and overall flavor. He rates the chicken version 4.8 and the steak version a perfect 10, declaring them must-try items that showcase Taco Bell's best offerings.
Lay Mis
West Hartford, United States — French
Daym Drops visits Lay Mis in West Hartford, Connecticut and thoroughly enjoys a French-inspired meal featuring crispy baguettes with honeycomb and cheddar cheese, an impressive customized cheese board, perfectly seasoned rotisserie chicken, and golden shoestring fries. The reviewer praises the quality and tenderness of each dish, calling it a blissful culinary experience that leaves him very satisfied.
McDonald's
New Britain, United States — Fast Food, American
Daym Drops reviews the McDonald's Saja Boys K-pop themed breakfast meal from the Netflix collaboration. While he loves the spicy sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin with its exceptional tangy and zesty sauce, he feels the hash brown is disappointing and the overall breakfast bundle lacks the polish of the lunch version.
Retro Subs
New Britain, United States — Sandwiches/Deli
Retro Subs is a new mom-and-pop sub shop in New Britain, Connecticut that impresses with its generous portions, quality ingredients, and nostalgic hip-hop and retro pop culture decor. The Godfather sub features layers of pepperoni, salami, ham, and creamy chipotle sauce on toasted bread that's so good it doesn't need a beverage chaser. The space doubles as a time capsule filled with connect four games, vintage puzzles, and memorabilia celebrating hip-hop history and 80s-90s culture.
The Spot Cafe
East Hartford, United States — American Breakfast
Daym Drops visits The Spot Cafe in East Hartford, Connecticut and praises their breakfast offerings, particularly the French toast which has become a local favorite. The reviewer highlights the quality of each component from the perfectly seasoned home fries and eggs to the crispy bacon and expertly prepared French toast with a light crispy exterior and balanced cinnamon flavor.
