Home

Food is amazing!!! The «living room» is so comfy and the staff makes you feel right at «home.» I’ve tried almost everything and I have never been disappointed. The home burger is my favorite and the mac and cheese is out of this world. All the food is worth trying! I can’t say enough about how much I love it here! Great food and atmosphere.

The food was very good, it just took a little longer to arrive then most other places. The waitress did knock over a glass of water all over our table (honest mistake) but didn’t apologize, started to clear the table while we sat there awkwardly mopping up the spill with the cloth napkins on the table. We were surrounded by open tables but she didn’t offer to move us, so we ended up having to ask. Other than that, it was a nice atmosphere and I would definitely eat here again!

Love the bartender and the waitstaff!!!
Always great service and food. Fun place for lunch!

Good food, nice atmosphere and great service. We were just passing through from Boston to NY and stumbled upon this place. Steve was super helpful. If we’re ever in the area again we would definitely go back.

My husband and I came to Home for a late lunch, early dinner on a Saturday afternoon. I had been here once before and it was my hubby’s first time. We sat in the bar area near the fireplace. We ordered some drinks, and shared an order of the pulled pork Mac n cheese, and a patty melt. We like to dip our fries in bleu cheese, unfortunately the waiter said they didn’t have any, but he could bring us something out to dip. Our patty melt was excellent, and cooked the way we like it. Fries were great and what he brought us to dip was my most favorite … A basil aioli dipping sauce… Yum! The mac n cheese wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t the best. It was very bland, the pulled pork didn’t have any flavor. The wait staff was very warm and welcoming and we will definitely be back again!

I’m on a roll today, filling in reviews for my «regulars», places to which I keep coming back, over and over. HOME is one of those places. I try to stay away, for the good of my waistline and my wallet. But I fail. My wife and I end up here once a month or so. The food is uniformly excellent. The beer list and specialty cocktails are solid. The vibe is relaxed and fun. The waitstaff is super friendly. I can’t give it 5 stars because the kitchen can sometimes be slow — not always, but sometimes dramatically so. The food is worth the wait, of course, or I wouldn’t keep showing up on their doorstep. Tip: the menu changes a couple times a year; come back from time to time to see what’s new.

Great little hideaway. The food is always on point and their appetizers are unbelievable. The owner is always available and hands on. He is very friendly every time I have gone in there. I recommend definitely putting this gem on you «A» list

great placed to visit when in town. They only serve local foods which is nice. some of the local beers aren’t that good though. Would recommend sitting in the back room as the front part of the restaurant is more of a lounge setting.

Good service, nice atmosphere, and different yet delicious food!

I really enjoyed home. It is an American cuisine with comfort food. Buffalo macaroni and cheese is to die for. The place was recently priced as well the staff was very attentive. I enjoyed my experience there and I deathly will go back.

How in the hell are there single star reviews here? This just goes to show that there are people who are NEVER satisfied.
Easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
Brussels sprouts, House burger, buffalo Mac and cheese, house cut fries, it was all really, really delicious. If I didn’t live 678 miles away I’d eat here at least monthly.

First off I’m rating something between our experience tonight and what we think it could be on your night there.
Friday night and the wife and I had our plans change at the last minute. As we drive by I called in (it is January… It is cold and the parking is a bit away…).
They said we’d be the next table for a party of two. I hopped out and my wife went to park. There were two other parties of two waiting (had been there for at least a few minutes and I JUST hung up 30 seconds ago. Ok stuff happens. Four parties of two were sat before us. The two who were there and two couples who put their name on the list after we got there. In reality it was five but one couple had reservations. Good for him and of course he should go before us so I’m not counting him.
We get the worst table possible. People are literally standing closer to me than my wife is sitting. I was counting how many times I got bumped into until a staff member standing near the entrance bumped me with her elbow at least ten times in two minutes. I gave up then but it wasn’t pleasant. An older woman rubbed up against me in a very inappropriate way. I say this to make sure that if you come here, you don’t forget to make a reservation. Some of the living room chairs were larger than the entire space that my wife, a random staff member, a loud guy making inappropriate comments, his date (it was their third date I’ll have you know), the old lady who seemed out of it and essentially sexually assaulted me, and the freezing cold from the propped open door (double door entrance designed to keep the cold out) was letting in all shared.
Make a reservation and don’t get stuck like we did. Why? Cause our food was very good. I got a porkchop special and my wife the risotto. The meals, as well as our buffalo chicken mac and cheese app were really damn good. Best meal we’ve had in CT since the last time we went to Zinc. We both got specialty drinks that were near perfect and came at the recommendation of our waiter who knew his stuff. Although my advice is to not talk about food in the way that a particle physicist at CERN or genome researcher at LLNL might talk about their jobs. My wife and I have a lot of letters after our names but were laughing about the fact that we felt stupid for not following the foodie jargon he was dropping.
The staff was nice. The owner was around all night and seemed to be well meaning and heavily invested. The hostess and the 5? Other people who came to our table since we only saw our waiter once were all very polite. Just isn’t worth the risk of being at that table to show up without a reservation.

The atmosphere was great, the menu selections were original, and the food was great. Unfortunately, the bartender and kitchen were unacceptably slow with lunch taking an hour and a half.

To be honest, I was not impressed. The atmosphere is nice, but the food wasn’t exactly wonderful. I would probably rather eat in my own home to be completely honest. However the service was good.

Home is a nice local spot. Consistent food and service. Sometimes their dishes are a little too busy for me; too much sauce and stuff such as that. Services is always very friendly and prompt. Beer always delicious, local, and revolving. Overall I think of Home as a safe bet.

Good service, nice atmosphere. Food, well is just not my cup of tea. I ordered a spinach salad, which had beets, candied walnuts and a very light vinaigrette and the Home Burger.
I will come back later, at a different time, for drinks just to see if I get a different vibe.

Awesome food.
Awesome service
This place is awesome. Love the small bites menu options also the service is on par! Great place can’t wait to go back

The food and drinks are always outstanding here. Every time I come, there’s just something that turns me slightly off.
Maybe it was the time I was charged $ 26 for 4 mussels (which were really good)
Or the time I waited an hour for a Cubano wrap (which was outstanding)
Food is good enough that I’ll come back… and the jazz on Sunday nights is really great.

First things first, the food here is good. Been a handful of times, mostly for lunch, and never had anything that was less than quality.
OK, the bad? Prices.
Wow, $ 14 for a ham and cheese, really? I don’t care if you put Gruyère and Boar’s Head on that thing, guess what? It’s still a ham and cheese.
Beer? Sure, they have every local Branford beer, great, …except that every local Branford beer isn’t very good. When keeping it real goes wrong.
A «New Haven Style Hamburger» that costs $ 14? Survey says? ANNNNNNN, nope. New Haven style burger would mean that their Louis Lunch homage would cost about half as much. Foe (the previous occupying restaurant) served a filet mignon burger for $ 10, and it was better, full stop. Is that why Foe is no longer there? Maybe, but I’m critiquing as a patron not a restauranteur.
Please consider a more reasonably priced lunch menu, and I’ll be back for dinner ASAP. In the meantime, I have plenty of other options locally.

Great Gluten Free menu! Very fresh veggies, and some of the best soup I have had in a very long time. They have a dedicated Gluten Free fryer for their french fries. Their gluten free buns are delicious and very stirdy.
The staff is very friendly, kind and attentive. The atmosphere is SO relaxed, almost as if you’re at home in your own living room (I know it sounds weird, but its so comfy in here!)
Their alcohol menu is extensive, and for the most part, locally sourced (plus the big names you’d expect of course)
Oh, and if you’re looking for great cheese, this place has boursin, manchego, gruyère and more!
Highly recommended, gluten free or not!
