Restaurants in Branford

Little Riggs has easily become our favorite restaurant in CT. We initially tried Riggs for breakfast bc we heard about their muffins. Weekly you are surprised with a new muffin flavor and they are perfect. For breakfast, I went with the sunny side grits…..without a doubt the BEST grits I’ve ever eaten. Wifey loved her eggs benny. Then we returned for with friends which was extraordinary. From steak frites, short rib, beautiful beet salad, shrimp & grits. Menu items charge based on seasons and freshness. There are many other options that have sent our pallets over the moon. From small bites to meals…. There’s something for everyone. Their drink selection is rather admirable and delicious. The entire staff honestly make you feel so welcome and ready to give you taste buds an experience. Make sure you save room for dessert.

Love having new option. A steakhouse is always a higher price point, thus expectation is higher. The venue was done well. Food was done well. If there was a 10-scall, I'd give this a 9 - SOLID. But to get a 10 it needs to be a "blow-my-socks-off" in all avenues.

Food was interesting and unusual and yummy. Lobster beet fusili was unusual and tasty. I had it as my main after delicious clam chowder. Husband had the boullabaise and could not have been happier. We were cold in the restaurant. A warm sweater would have been appreciated. Service was great until we had finished our meal.

The food and service were excellent. Love the atmosphere. The manager, Webster is excellent. Made sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend.

Always good to visit. Good choices for all palettes.
