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.

    My second time here for brunch and it did not disappoint. Had the egg bites which were delicious. My friend had the Bbbennie their take on eggs Benedict but served on a mini waffle which was also great. Service was very attentive. I have also been here for dinner which was equally as good. But unfortunately the place was not busy because it’s known as a breakfast lunch place. Dinner was very good too with nice options. Hope it gains traction with its night business. Good addition to town for dinner. Highly recommend.

    Excellent dining experience in every way—warm, inviting ambiance, thoughtful and courteous waitstaff, delicious cuisine, and reasonably priced. Lively bar opposite the dining room for those who want a little more variety, but it’s not excessively noisy. Practically a Westbrook institution—so consistently well done for years.

    Great meal/experience, but despite noting in the reservation we had a birthday, no recognition of it. Oh well…
