    Oh man, the Wenzel, the Wenzel button. That's all you need to know. It's wonderful. If you do get the wenzel, be aware there are apparently options you can opt into like cheese or garlic bread. I personally think the eggplant (vegitarian) wenzel is perhaps even better than the original.

    Visited Yale a while back, went to frat party, got incredibly wasted, and someone was nice enough to walk me across the street to ADP.
    Got myself a wenzel the first time, and a pizza the following night.

    WTF Is a wenzel? I DON'T KNOW BUT IT WAS GREAT. And the pizza was delicious but it's really hard to screw up pizza unless you're a dumb shit.

    Giving it 3 stars because,
    1) I was wasted so anything would have tasted amazing.
    2) The area around ADP is sketch as ballllls. It's new haven so I wouldn't necessarily say to have pepper spray ready in your hand, but...prepare yo self before you wreck yo self.

    I finally gave in and had my first wenzel in September. It was mind-blowing!! Such delicious buffalo sauce on toasted garlic bread (make sure to get the garlic bread). I've had it in both eggplant and chicken form. I'm not much of a chicken eater but I have to say I think I like it more in the chicken form since it absorbs more of the oil so you don't feel the grease as much. Surprisingly, it's not just a sandwich for drunk people, it's just an amazing sandwich! Also, the lines are crazy late Friday and Saturday nights so don't go then unless the one-hour wait is worth it to you. Also, there really isn't an ambiance at all, don't eat there. I also really only get the wenzel (oh and the frites are pretty tasty as well) so this five star rating is for one of the most delicious sandwiches I've ever had.

    A good 5,300 undergrads will tell you, even if they are vegetarian, that the Wenzel is the best sandwich in New Haven---but only if they are drunk.

    If you go to ADP and don't get a Wenzel, you are a blithering idiot. The Wenzel is and will forever be the best buffalo chicken grinder on the face of this earth, and Buffalo, NY can quote me on that one.

    It helps if you've had a few. Also, don't mind the other patrons there on a Saturday night, the occasional mugging is just par for the course.

    Eat a Wenzel. Its what buffalo aspires to be.

    Yale has a lot of things going for them: world class facilities and faculty; a 17 billion dollar endowment; a hockey team that, how, I'll never understand, is making a run for a national title. Hell, they've got a freakin' Gutenberg Bible and Audobon's Birds of America. But they don't have good drunk food.

    Talk to any Eli and they'll wax philosophical about this magical sandwich called the Wenzel, named after a football player who graduated in 2004. They'll start talking about it and their eyes will glaze over, drool starts dripping out the sides of their mouths, and half-chubs set in. And then they tell you what it is. It's a buffalo chicken sub. With extra Frank's.

    Rochester has the Garbage Plate. Rutgers has the Fat Darrell. I'm a fan of the Fat Bag myself. But this is just a buffalo chicken sandwich. And not a particularly good one at that. Sure, I wasn't hammered out of my gourd when I tried it, but I've had buff chicken before and it tasted about the same.

    Yale, I expected better from you. Honestly, with the brainpower and resources at your disposal, I'd think that you could come up with something better in about four minutes.

    Not bad, although I've never ordered pizza here.  I always get the gyro which is nothing special when sober, but superb when not.  Advice: go get wasted first, then come here.

    I kinda like the unshaven dude-with-a-'tude behind the counter.  He's definitely a no BS type and I'm quite partial to the impersonal business approach.  

    It's an ugly place, but if you're drunk enough, chances are you won't even notice.

    Gyros-away!
