Eli's Branford

"Fun sports bar! I got the chicken parm with penne ala vodka. The chicken was delicious. Vodka sauce was a little sweet for my liking but still good. Open atmosphere, plenty of TVs playing all the football games. Staff was friendly."

"My car is next door at Firestone so I decided to come for happy hour. It did not disappoint. I had 2 Tito’s and cranberry and the pretzel. Really enjoyed myself. Wish it was warm enough to sit outside. I sat in the bar area and the bar tender thought it was my job to call him over. Definitely wasn’t feeling that. He didn’t look in my direction. And sometimes he either wasn’t at the bar or on the other side. He eventually came over though"

"This was our first time eating at the Eli’s in Branford, but we’ve visited the one in Hamden a few times so we knew the food was going to be great! The eggroll sampler is a must, and they just have some of the best American comfort foods on the menu. Obsessed with the loaded croquettes and burger we had which came with fried provolone and and vodka sauce! The eggplant parm was a gorgeous stack, the Mac & Jack was super flavorful, and the spinach and artichoke dip was great too. They have a great selection of drinks to choose from, and they even had some new seasonal ones on there like the pumpkin spice margarita. The food came out quickly - we were in and out within an hour and were very impressed by that! Everything was clean, and the staff was attentive."

"Everyone is so friendly here! Food is really good. Drinks are very reasonable. Have trivia every Wednesday night which is so much fun."
