The mission stays the same though. Good food ties us to the memories and the people we love. I share the memories and the food I love. 3 years ago I started a little food truck breakfast in a little bar parking lot, today we call that parking lot ours and that little bar, is now Little Riggs.

    We stopped in cause the menu looked so interesting. They were very welcoming even though we were near to closing time and not having a full meal-just a bite and a cocktail. The waitress was friendly and efficient. We have a delicious Bloody Mary and Hard Cider with a grits( so tasty) with lardons and a fried egg. It was done perfectly and seasoned just right. Would like to try more of their menu! Worth a visit even if you don't live close by.

    Every single detail about my experience was a master class in excellence. Impeccable service. Calm, inviting, and lovely atmosphere. Exceptional food - visually stunning, incredible attention to detail in its plating, and heavenly flavor. This is what every dining experience should be like. They have raised the bar very high.

    We have been coming to this Branford gem since a few weeks after they opened, and dine weekly. Everything about Little Riggs is spot on. The service is always friendly and attentive. The food, creative, tasty and presented very nicely. (who doesn't love a creamy bechamel for breakfast ie. 'Madame & Monsieur'. The atmosphere is simple and classy, yet unpretentious. We need to come more often for dinner to explore the entrees, craft cocktails and nice wine list (at first glance. ) Recommend to make a resy in advance as it is a small establishment. You won't be disappointed!!

    We were a party of 7 and enjoyed a few hours of delicious drinks and food, without ever feeling rushed. John provided some desserts that were to die for. A very enjoyable evening.
