Great for brunch
Neighborhood gem
Good for business meals

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.

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.

As we eat our way through the breakfast/ lunch menu, one dish is as tasty as the next! A personal favorite is the Madam and Monsieur. Who doesn't love a creamy bechamel for breakfast??!! All of the servers are very friendly, attentive and professional, quickly remembering our personal preferences as regulars. Owner John's music playlist is very fun and perfectly sets a mellow dining mood. As a small, intimate spot, it's not a bad idea to make reservations on weekends.

This was my first visit to Little Riggs & it was excellent! I went with friends that I have breakfast with monthly & we all agreed we’d be back. I chose the BBB Bennie, an eggs Benedict with a twist, the perfectly steamed eggs were served on a very airy & light waffle & topped with crispy but tender prosciutto! The Hollandaise sauce was fresh & delicious! Each of our dishes were hot & beautifully garnished & the service was great, attentive & professional. Can’t wait to go again!

A wonderful new place for dinner. Have been going there for breakfast for 2 years and now a wonderful place to go in the evening. Top notch entertainment tonight. We are bringing a large group to dine and hear this musician in Dec 10.

What a Spot! I had the short rib. 10/10. Friends got steaks and the "house" shrimp & grits, everyone was stunned. seriously one of the best experiences we've had as a group in forever. The wine list is really of note, some really, really good stuff...collector stuff at really approachable prices. We ended up with an Italian wine with dinner that stole the show. Did I write it down? NO. Take a picture? NO. I'll add It's smallish, we walked in on and got a table right away but there were only bar seats open when we left, I know why. Definitely a local secret.

This was my second time here since they opened. Shame on me! I loved my first visit and should have/will be returning more often! This spot has all the things I have always wanted to try but unless traveling never got the chance as everywhere served the same items around here. Even the wines were incredible and not the same old same old. My wife tried a Gavi? Italian white and said " it was to die for especially with the most incredible lobster roll she had all season.” I love a good salad and a steak The Insalada is the best salad ever! I want the Chef to bottle the dressing! And the steak, I have never had a Rib Eye like this before. Perfectly cooked and Just enough sauce. I don't drink and the bartender made me a delicious mocktail with fresh blueberries. The staff is so friendly and the owner even came out of his busy kitchen to say hello. Before we left the server (who happens to be the pastry chef!) gave us a box of cookies that were delightful.

My husband and I enjoyed a terrific dinner here last night. He had the shrimp and grits which was incredibly flavorful and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. I enjoyed the steak frites-the steak was tender and delicious. We ordered the the Mac Fritters as an appetizer, which were a delicious surprise: fried balls of Mac and cheese with shavings of prosciutto on top with a subtle dusting of truffle essence that took the dish to the next level. We shared the banana split, again - another surprise. The banana was cut in half with a toasted sugar topping that turned it into a banana crème brûlée (fabulous) served with homemade vanilla ice cream (fabulous too) and whipped cream sprinkled with toasted coconut. The point is that nothing served here is as simple as you expect it will be and there is a delicious surprise around every corner. Highly recommend this little gem!
