Have a craving for some amazingly delicious fried chicken that will satisfy your hunger? Next time you’re in Newington, you won’t want to miss Fried Chicken Friday at the 5 and Dime Canteen.

Please note, 5 and Dime Canteen is temporarily closed.

The first thing you'll notice about this sweet little shop is its simple storefront. Standard signage on the windows advertises Breakfast to Go and Fried Chicken. While this shop may look tiny, you won't be judging this unassuming shop by its looks.

The 5 and Dime Canteen owners are no strangers to feeding a hungry crowd and delivering customer satisfaction. Matt Crowley and Tim Marotto also own GoldBurgers right next door. In 2017, they decided to try a different kind of restaurant that offers a breakfast menu and a different style than its sister restaurant.
