Came to home for a special occasion lunch and had a great time with my family. The food was delicious and the owner was friendly. They have a living room area, which was perfect for us dining with our six month old. Would def recommend! read more

Charming interior. You can have a meal as though you're sitting in your living room or at a high top table or table and chairs. I like choices. Very interesting menu. Lots of dishes done differently. We shared Gen. Tso brussel sprouts and a crispy chicken sandwich with fries. In hindsight I would say we had too much fried food. My only complaint was that the fries weren't crispy. Hannah was our server & I'd give her 5 five stars. Nice lunch despite the fries. read more

Good food, it just takes a while. We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. It wasn't all that busy but it took about an hour all in. We ordered the home burger, which was delicious. Ordered it medium and it came closer to well done, but it was really flavorful and seemed like it was cooked New Haven style instead of fried. I nabbed a chicken tender from the kid and it was crispy and flavorful too. It's got a fun ambiance inside, with a couple of tables lower to the ground with comfy chairs. The service was a bit slow but the folks working there were very nice. I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in the area. read more

Servers were friendly and attentive. I got the house burger with a side of their homemade mayo. Asked for medium and it came out well done. Despite that it was still really good... bread seemed to be pan seared in butter... always a classic win. If only the meat had been cooked as ordered... the house mayo is excellent... but the best part were the fries... I love these style of fries... lots of flavorful crunch and taste... also went amazing with the Mayo. They did have some weird 60's off tune jazz music playing... see photo for reference. read more

My friend picked this as her birthday dinner. We shared appetizers and ordered our own entrees. The eggplant fritters were lukewarm inside. They clearly keep them refrigerator and then fry them to order. So, outside crisper up fast and inside was barely heated. Fried dough chips were unremarkable. My home burger was good. Nothing to brag about. My friend who ordered the shrimp salad wrap said it was good, but the Mac & cheese side tasted weird to her. The entree salad and buffalo Mac were shared and they were nice enough to split their orders so they had a plate of each. The donuts tasted fruity. I think it was the glaze. I wouldn't be in a rush to return. read more

Welcome Home When it comes to supporting your local business, look no further than the comfort of your local Home! Comfortable setting, warm staff, calming & feel at home ambience and a delicious & immaculate menu which takes creativity & bold flavors to a whole new level. They certainly hit Home on all fronts. The community of Branford is lucky to have a place like Home. Now enough puns... let's talk menu. Spinach Salad A luscious salad topped with roasted beets, a decadent ball of creamy fried goat cheese & a housemade honey-balsamic vinaigrette. A perfect start. The Home Burger 10/10 one of the best burgers ever. Pecan wood smoked bacon, a delicious caramelized onion jam & sautéed mushrooms on perfectly toasted brioche bun. And my the god Boursin cheese adds an incredible mouthwatering explosion of flavors that brings it all together. Hawaiian Turkey Burger Guess what Gordon Ramsay... you were wrong!! Worried about the Turkey patty being dry, don't!!! This delicious burger is topped with grilled pineapple, crisped applewood smoked ham & housemade BBQ sauce that add just the right amount of fat & juicy moister to the lean Turkey patty. I don't ever go out of my way to try a non-beef patty but this heavenly gem is a must try. HOME-style Spinach & Artichoke MAC can you say cheesy goodness?! This delicious Mac is topped with a slice of torched Brie that further enhances the flavor of this creamy dish. HOME-style Mussels Frites MAC Oh my what a bold combination of flavors & textures. A creamy delicious Mac with mussels, arugula & tomatoes topped with crispy potato gaufrette. Highly recommended. A big thank you to Home for the wonderful experience & accommodating this extremely hungry bodybuilder post competition. We will be seeing you again... soon. read more

We noticed this restaurant by accident. The parking lot was full but there were no people in the restaurant. They must share their parking with the apartments or office building. Idk but it would have been nice if the one waitress who was on knew anything about the menu. It became apparent that the staff & restaurant was going thru some kind of changes One waitress and one person behind the bar, and I couldn't get a simple answer about a menu item. read more

Went for lunch before a matinee at the Legacy Theater. Enjoyed drinks from the bar. Extensive gluten free menu which was great for my son - he enjoyed the grilled cheese and tomato soup combo and I got the patty melt which was delicious. Wonderful fries on the side. Cute space and very friendly employees. Would definitely go back again. read more

Oh goodness where do I begin? Thursday night feels like cafeteria night at the geriatric ward. The service was very nice and a bit slow. Cheeseboard was so disappointing. Three basic cheeses (one being big chunks of Muenster, another a delicious Gorg and the third teeny tiny pebbles of Halloumi) a few strands of very tasty pickled peppers that weren't the least bit crisp. 6 tiny toast points and some tart blueberry chutney. So underwhelming. Dinner was a disaster. 'Gavadeels' cavatelli was NOT cavatelli at all but rather pasta shaped similar to a cavatelli. Topped with pork cutlet that was over fried in old fry oil. Taste was hard to clear off the palate. The eggplant ribbons were charcoal like. Coconut shrimp was way overdone in same oil and so tough you couldn't cut with a fork. Black. Ordered margaritas. Since when do margaritas have soda in them? Very disappointed. However, the waitress was very sweet. read more

A very interesting menu. For appetizers we had the General Tso's brussel sprouts. What a flavor bomb. We also had the eggplant fritters. Nice and crispy outside with a soft middle-great marinara too. For an entree we split an ahi tuna melt. It may not sound all that interesting but so light and tasty. Served with awesome fries. They also have a variety of Mac and cheese combinations and a Cajun meatloaf I can't wait to try. Friendly staff. Quick service. Their sign says they are celebrating 10 years in Branford. They deserve it and 10 more. Great place-we'll be back. read more

For a long time we've been hearing from our foodie friends what a great spot Home is, so we finally made our way for dinner one night! We were seated in the front dining room, which was very cozy and has a laid back vibe. Their menu has a lot of unique options and twists on dishes that we admired- braising the short rib in foxon park root beer was one of them! All around fresh and delicious locally-sourced options. I thought it was great that they offer a separate gluten free menu as well. All of the food arrived to us in good time, and all of the staff was friendly and welcoming! read more

Unfortunately the reviews seemed better than the actual experience. We went there for dinner after a show, but the restaurant was actually pretty run down looking, the silverware and glasses on the table had specks of old food, and the menu was very unappealing. We actually left before ordering and went elsewhere, as the area has many other more picturesque and delicious options. read more

Had dinner here a few nights ago, and the food is great. We shared the General Tso's brussels sprouts to start, followed by the blackened salmon salad. There were enough brussels sprouts for four people at least, and there were only two of us so we brought the leftovers home. Word to the wise: even though I heated them in my toaster oven to try to get back some of the crunch, it wasn't that successful and I ended up throwing them out. Better to eat them at the restaurant and leave their what you don't manage to eat The brussels sprouts are drizzled (drenched) in a wonderful sauce, but it was a little over the top so I would say less is more in this case. The blackened salmon salad was excellent, featuring a cucumber salsa with pickled corn, black beans, and confit tomatoes over a bed of romaine lettuce and dressed with chipotle ranch dressing. The salad comes with plantain crisps, but I chose to leave mine off as I'm not a fan of plantains however they are prepared. The salad was excellent, but there was no "real estate" left on the plate, meaning the food went all the way to the edge of the plate, which made it hard not to spill some of the food on the table. More about that in a minute. Generally speaking, this is a great restaurant, but the service was slow and they weren't that busy so I wasn't sure why we had to wait so long to be served, ask for the check, and then wait another 15 minutes for them to collect the credit card to pay for the meal. Further, and perhaps this is on management, but the serving staff should be better trained so that they remove dirty plates in a timely fashion, and come equipped with a crummer to remove any excess food or crumbs from the table. Some of these small touches can make a big difference. read more

One of the best burgers I have had. The bun was perfectly toasted, bacon was crispy, and the hand cut fries were perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend! read more

Great food, good prices. The food was delicious and the ambiance is relaxed. Truly, feel welcome and at home. I had side of veggie Mac and cheese and wrap. It was so good! I can see why it's been here for years. Check it out! read more

Brunch anyone?! Such a cute & HOMEY a spot! They literally have sofa chairs in their lounge! Food was great!! If you're looking for light options go elsewhere lol because everything on the menu packs a punch! The mini (not so mini) donuts were warm and delish! And the egg Sammy so ughhh 10/10! Eggs cooked perfectly, good quality bacon..... they don't cheap out on ingredients here. Honestly the star of the show was the hash brown casserole. Gina's tip: if you are human, you will most likely have leftovers of the hash brown casserole. Take those to go and the next morning do a scrambled egg hash with them. Soooo good! Also, my husband got the bloody Mary and I had a taste very good, tastes like they make their own mix! The staff was really great and super knowledgeable about the menu. I love when servers give recommendations! read more

Decided to go to Home restaurant for a New Year's Day Brunch. Location is right in the center of Branford and parking is free and plentiful. The restaurant offers multiple seating options; bar seating with high top tables, a dining area with the option of large comfortable chairs/couches, and a more formal dining room. The staff are friendly and attentive, offering recommendations when torn between multiple menu options. They offer a good variety of menu choices for both lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. I ordered the BEC flatbread with a spicy Bloody Mary. Both were delicious and I will definitely be ordering these again next time at Home! read more

This was the best meal to end 2022 with. A few friends and I ordered the gluten free cheese board. We ordered fries, General Tso Brussels sprouts, gluten free buffalo chicken Mac and cheese, the home burger with a side of brisket Mac and cheese and Creole style meatloaf. For dessert we ordered the potato chip brownie and another dessert which I can't recall the name of. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The ambience was nice. read more

The food here is pretty good. They have some nice mac & cheese options and some interesting spins on dishes. I ordered the ribs with cheese grits. The actual meat portion was small considering the dish was $35, but that's inflation for you. We enjoyed our meal, but found the dessert options limited so passed. The ambience is interesting as the place is casual and resembles a lounge more than a restaurant. There are options where you can sit around a coffee table as though you were at home, and eat your meal there. The service was decent, though it was hard to get the waiter's attention at times. I think this is a nice place to enjoy a casual hang out with a friend or two. read more

The service was outstanding, and the food was absolutely delicious. Such a warm, welcoming spot with an incredible atmosphere.

My girl Lue lue told me she went in for lunch yesterday she was craving the meatballs we started this together as a favor for her cousin but she's not finding yelping much fun I'm loving it all though I was not a fan she said she had a completely different experience than when we went together her and her friends went in for early dinner her friend was surprised they had gluten free options as most of them have a picky palate she said staff was much nicer than the few other times we've been there and the food was much better I don't know what's in the meatballs but I herd how good they were for about 20 minutes read more

Home has been a favorite of my family's for years and is conveniently located right across from the green in the center of Branford. This visit was as enjoyable as all the others with good food and a friendly server. There is a larger room with more typical restaurant tables in the back, but the font room (seen in the photos) is my favorite and has comfy seating, like you're just chilling in a living room. I love that the menu will sometimes change with the season to include fresh food for each time of year. They offer all the items you would think of as comfort food too, exactly what you would think a place called Home would serve! I've had plenty of different items and have never been disappointed. At this particular visit, my friend and I came for just a bite and a drink. We enjoyed our wine, shared the cheese board, and had soup and salad. While the cheese board was very basic, the quality was delicious, and we were both very happy with our soups and salads; it was a perfect winter meal eaten in comfy armchairs - just what we needed to unwind! read more

What a delicious food adventure. The flavors were delicious and food combos were well thought out. We had the general Tso Brussels sprouts. Loved how perfect crisp they were. I had the Brie Gilled cheese with tomato soup. The sand which was filled with flavor between the arugula, Brie and raspberry spread. Loved the flavors. The tomato soup was delicious and full of fresh flavor did not disappoint! I need to come back because the menu was filled with options I wanted to try! read more

This restaurant never disappoints! They have such a huge gluten free menu and it's my absolute favorite place to go to have something I couldn't have at other restaurants due to my gluten intolerance.

Overall - pretty good. Prickly pear margarita had just a little bit of bite from the jalapeno tequila. Would definitely have it again. We started with the New England Local Conch Chowder and the Mussels and Fries. The chowder was very tasty and had nice chunks of potatoes and bits of bacon. I don't know what a "local Conch" is, since the place is near LI Sound, but it doesn't matter. I didn't find any conch chunks, local or otherwise. The chowder tasted good regardless. The mussels and fries were really good, although fries just don't compare to a good chunk of bread for sopping up the sauce. The fried green tomato sandwich with the hamburger add-on was really good and filling. The Cajun Tuna Spinach Salad was another decent dish. The tuna was seasoned well and cooked to just rare enough. There was perhaps too much dressing. Would suggest asking for the dressing on the side. The place makes an effort to cater to those with food allergies and has a good size gluten free menu. We went for an early dinner on a Friday, so the place was not too crowded. Service was good, even with a new server. A good place to stop in if you are in the area. read more

Where better to celebrate a birthday for a cherished family member- HOME of course! It is no secret that Branford offers some very good restaurants, but time tested our "go to" will always be HOME! A continually fresh and updated menu, locally sourced appetizers, entrees, and even desserts and hand crafted cocktails always prepared with a smile- this Branford eatery continually checks all the boxes. Last night's special occassion gathering included some long time appetizer staples such as General Tso's brussel sprouts, HOMEmade hummas and a bowl of french fries- oh yes HOME'S french fries are like no others- but then bring on the French Dip eggroll newbie and you will be left wondering why you didn't get two orders! Deep breath, here come the entrees- melt in your mouth lean short ribs, ricotta and potato gnocchi which offer indescribable flavors and textures, and of course an Angus beef patty melt that will rival the best burger you will ever have! Everything served by a most friendly and efficient staff who always seem to really enjoy pleasing their customers. Oh yes we shall return- with so many other delectable menu options available for next time- there is truly no place like HOME! read more

My husband and I came here on a Friday night a few weeks ago for a nice date night/celebration. We each had a seasonal beer that was on tap. We started with the brussel sprouts app and the fried dough chips app. Both were super exceptional. My husband also ordered the Buffalo Mac and cheese and I have the lobster mac and cheese but requested to not make it spicy. My husband's was better than mine. I felt like my mac and cheese was more gritty and soupy than it was creamy and cheesy. It was good, but slightly not what I was expecting. I would be willing to go back and order something different for an entree next time. I just have to reiterate though...if I went back for anything, you better bet that it would be for those fried dough chips. read more

I've lived in this area for my entire life but I don't thinK I ever realized Home was a restaurant! My friend brought me here raving about their fried dough chips as an appetizer option! The chips are small pieces of fried dough and they're served with tomato sauce and a ricotta cheese spread on the side. It was absolutely delicious! I have never HES and of a dish like that before but I will be returning just for that. I also ordered a burger called the Patty Melt! It had melted cheese, fried onions, and an aioli sauce on it, all served on rye bread. It was absolutely delicious and so big, I had leftovers to take home! The atmosphere is also super cozy and completely fits the name of "Home." The seats are cozy couches or cushioned seats and the lighting is dim and warm! Home is definitely one of my new favorite restaurants in the area! read more

Dining at Home's restaurant in Branford is always a pleasant experience. The service is great, food is unique and always consistent - I may or may not dream about their Eggplant Parm Fritters & General Tso's Brussels Sprouts! However, this review is specifically about their catering services. Home recently catered my wedding reception and I can not sing their praises high enough. Cody was our main contact and she didn't miss a beat. The entire team was creative, thorough, so professional and easy to work with. Weddings can be stressful and Cody went above and beyond to make sure we didn't sweat any of the details or things she could control, which I am so grateful for. Their catered menu offerings were impressive and we had plenty to choose from, and the quality was outstanding. Just like when you dine in the restaurant! Our guests raved about the food all night long. Thank you so much to Cody & the team at Home for all of your help, you are masters at what you do. Whether you're stopping in for dinner or using Home's catering service - you will NOT be disappointed! read more

I received exceptional service from the owner and chefs at Home. By far the best experience I've ever had with a restaurant and they've earned a regular customer! So I was looking to impress someone with a gluten free meal for their birthday (hard to find great restaurants for this). As I am an unexceptional cook, I chose Home as the place for the meal because of their dedicated gluten free fryer and kitchen spaces. I called with a last minute request for a special order for GF fried chicken and potatoes/Mac (some of which were not on the menu). When I arrived to pick it up they had gone out of their way to make special batter and went all-out in their meal prep. Home really went above and beyond and made someone very happy on their birthday after having two years of fun birthdays stolen by Covid. I cannot give enough praise and thanks to everyone at Home. The fried chicken, Mac, and potatoes were incredible. The GF chicken was unlike any I've ever had! Crispy and flakey. I personally am not a huge fan of coleslaw usually but the spicy coleslaw was out of this world and I enjoyed it. The best I've ever had. Home makes gluten free delicious. Again I can't thank everyone here enough. read more
