I realize many restaurants had to make changes with Covid, but the menu at the branford location is so limited. They got rid of some great dishes. They should go back to the old menu. The drinks are still great & strong.

Great spot but you need to expand your menu ! Very limited compared to your competitors in the area.

Was in town from KC. A good friend took me there. Staff and food was amazing! I will definitely be back.

Very Unprofessional! I sent in an online order for pickup. I walk in and tell them “hi I’m picking up for …” the manager proceeds to look me up and down and say “she’s going to have to wait”. Never in my life has this ever happened to me. I am a customer. I’ve already paid and my order is already done. What am I waiting for exactly? Not only that, but the boy in the front was told by that exact same manager that he couldn’t assist me and that he had to manage his own section first. It would’ve taken either him or her two seconds to walk over and grab my food for me. Terrible. All of this just for me to go home and eat some undercooked noodles. Never again will I be spending my hard earned money here.

Food not up to standard tonight disappointed

I have ordered pizza from Eli's on Whitney Ave. in Hamden for decades. I've always been satisfied with their authentic "New Haven" style pizza. All that changed tonight. I ordered a large mozzarella with red sauce, peppers, onions, bacon, and sausage. It was ready when I went to pick it up, and I went directly home to serve it to my family. When I opened up the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. The pie looked as if it had been taken out of the oven about five or ten minutes early; the sauce was watery, the crust was just barely cooked (I had ordered it ""golden"), there was almost no sausage, and there was NO bacon at all. My family was hungry, so I didn't take it back (but I did send a letter with a picture). I am usually one of the first to praise service and food when it deserves recognition, but I also feel that the restrauteur deserve to know when and for what reason his clientele are dissatisfied. Based on what I was served tonight, I could not recommend the pizza at Eli's to anyone who enjoys real italian food. I hope for the sake of future patrons that this was an exception and not the rule.

Good food and drinks! Wait staff Nick was great!! When he offered to take our picture….. well he did but then photobombed one too!!

very slow and was told by server sorry I ignored you

Good restaurant with an excellent offering of microbrews and many televisions for sports enthusiasts. Very comfortable casual decor.
