Duchess Hamburger of Stratford

Delivers what is promised. Fast and cheap food. All lists for best Stratford hot dogs had gray papayas because it’s a classic place.

I have gone there a few times after 8pm. Fries were cold, not even cooked a the way. Drive there takes 20 minutes to give people there food. At least if your going to take that long, give people FRESH food. I have tried to contact the manager but never get a response. I don’t reccomend this dutchess to anybody.

1 star for the bun. Maybe 2 for the chicken nuggets.
The food is da bomb. #duchessforlife
The people working there ain’t da bomb. They forgot my order. When I went to get it the guy said «blame it on her.» #jessica
They forgot my onions after forgetting my order.
Don’t they show the orders on the screen?

I rarely get Duchess, so I was actually kind of excited. too bad the whole experience was sub-​par. The guy behind the counter was a douche. I mean, I get that he’s probably in high school, but he thought he was way funnier than he was. When his coworker called someone’s order number and the customer didn’t come, he took it upon himself to SHOUT the order number and then when the customer showed, he asked her if she came bcs she heard him or his coworker. It was just… stupid. No one was amused.
He took my order abruptly, and when he gave me my receipt, I said, «Thank you sir.» He then proceeded to bitch about being called «sir» and in his subsequent interactions with his coworkers, he kept saying, «thank you sir» to all of them. Again, it was just… stupid. Then he literally threw my food on me. Like, he thrust it into my hands in such a way that for a moment it was airborne.
All of this would have been more forgivable if the food had been yummy. But the grilled cheese (so lovely in my memory) was barely cooked and had a scanty amount of cheese. The onion rings were bland, and the milkshake was not particularly chocolatey.
I mean, it’s Duchess. So I feel like I’m being sensitive. But I don’t get Duchess often, so I was bummed that my first trip there in over a year was so lousy.

My chicken cobb salad was yummy and a good size although it was lacking a few essential cobb salad items. Not bad for a fast food place and I was happy to see they put grilled chicken instead of fried on it.

My hot dog sucked, the roll was hard as a rock. The hamburger was barely better. Service was slow I was in a hurry to get back to work on a Sunday.

Duchess is somewhere between fast food and a diner. You order your food at the counter and if you are eating in, they will bring the food to your table. All the food is made when you order. The burgers are average, but their hot dogs are excellent. The hot dogs consistently rank in the top 5 hot dogs in the state. Unlike many fast food places, they also offer dinners like meatloaf. Soup is served year round. Be sure to try the house dressing of you get a salad. It is like a «Green Goddess» dressing and is the favorite of many people I know. Duchess has about a dozen locations around Connecticut, so if you like this one you can check to see if there are any others close to you.
