One reason it took me so long to try AFFILIATION - I learned that this place is a second location for massiminos in Bridgeport which is a pretty Italian place in its own right ENTRANCE - as you come in you can see the main counter in the back. There are a few tables around if you want to sit and eat/drink coffee. AMBIANCE - it's a very clean and deli looking decor. DRY PRODUCTS - they have a small selection of Italian items from dried pasta to jarred sauces. Typical brands that you see in supermarkets or other Italian stores. There are a few imported from Italy brands but I'm no expert to say yea or nay PIZZA - they have at the counter a pizza station where you can a buy by the slice. They looked pretty good with a lot of variety. COFFEES - they have regular plus they make expresso, macchiatos, lattes etc. I tried the macchiato which was excellent PASTRY- they gave a few at the counter. The breakfast buns and treats. I noticed a crème pastry which I tried. It was OK but in reality the pastry part was super good but the inside crème would have been better if it was like a Boston cream filling SERVICE - definitely 5+ stars. The employees couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Very congenial with small talk. Not the usual cold QSR attitude you get from the fast food chains PRICES - I only got coffee and a pastry that was over $8. I'd say average or a little on the higher side but I didn't look at the menu on the screen too closely although it was a little difficult to see.

From the moment you walk in, you're treated like a regular even if it's your first time. The ingredients are always fresh, the portions are massive, and you can tell they actually care about the food they're serving. So far, I have not been disappointed with any of my orders.

The staff was super friendly, and I ordered a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese. It was made on a Brioche roll with a fried egg. Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of the egg or the sandwich overall. It was okay, probably a three-star kind of thing. Next time I went back, I tried the Calise sandwich, which has chicken cutlet, broccoli rabe, roasted peppers, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and balsamic glaze. I asked for the broccoli rabe on the side because I know everyone makes it differently. I get that it can be bitter, but some places make it taste amazing without the bitterness, so I wanted it on the side. The sandwich was really good, so I'd give it four stars, especially since the breakfast one was just three in my book. Sometimes you gotta visit a place a couple of times to really get a feel for their food. I wasn't really a fan of the broccoli rabe--it was a bit too bitter for me. But the sandwich itself was tasty, with well-seasoned chicken and really fresh mozzarella. Not sure if they make the mozzarella in-house, but it's delicious. It tasted just like you'd expect from an authentic Italian deli. Very good. Third time I went, I tried the Mother Clucker, which has a chicken cutlet, Russian dressing, cheddar cheese, and bacon. I wanted to try it because I'd seen it being made during my last visit and it looked awesome. It took about ten minutes to get ready. When I opened it up, I realized it had melted cheddar, not sliced like I thought, but it was all good. The sandwich was tasty, but a bit over the top with the bacon and melted cheddar--almost too much. I think using sliced cheddar would bring everything together better. The melted cheese kinda takes away from it, in my opinion. The bacon was crispy even with the cheesy sauce on top, and the chicken was nicely seasoned. I definitely plan to come back and try the Chopped Italian Combo. The staff's always friendly and welcoming, and it's a solid spot if you're looking for breakfast, with plenty of breakfast platters and other menu items that might catch your eye.

We have lived near Dallas, Texas since leaving Connecticut in 1988 for work reasons. Son is now 50 and our daughter is 49. We still occasionally go out for breakfast with the grandkids. Life moves on.

I haven't been here in a while, but I did find this place almost 10 years ago, and since then I've…read morebeen pretty up and down about this place. Honestly, I don't know why I stopped coming here. There's plenty to choose from, and the price is good. That said, I would say Mainport definitely has its ups and downs. Tonight I had the #3 meal and mozzarella sticks. With the fries, I have always found that they were very bland on their own. If you do want to bring out the best in these, you need salt and pepper. Leave them on their own and you will regret it. As for the tenders, they're juicy, but they too could use some of that salt and pepper lovin'. Now for the mozzarella sticks, you actually do not need anything extra here. No sauce required! I ordered this dinner while recovery from an illness that required a trip to the doctor, and the taste of these mozzarella sticks still shined through and tasted good even with the taste of meds constantly alerting me of its presence in my mouth. So overall, the food's decent. It's glorified fast food, but as long as you're okay with that, you should be fine ordering from here. I will say its interior doesn't seem very appealing (or clean for that matter), but at least you do have a TV to keep you company as you wait for your food. Also, you are incentivized to use cash. Of course, I don't use cash unless there is no other option, but if it saves you money, then by all means bring cash. So yeah, I'll leave a 3 here. It's not bad, but nothing really wowed me either. You get what you get.

Not surprisingly, it does not look like it did in the 1960s/70s/80s, but the basic design remains. They were bought by a different family in the 90s, who are doing fine, but the menu is not quite the same. This is the place where I first had true Bacon & Onion pizza, and that means a lot to me. What means more, though, that it was the first time in 23 years that I got together with my older siblings, and that folks was priceless. We ordered Johnny Walker Black on the rocks in my Dad's honor. For lunch I didn't opt for the B&O, instead finally having a Veal Parm grinder for this visit. Wifey could not get over how perfect their Margarita wheel was, and my Brother was kind enough to share a bite of their amazing Moussaka.

Thinking the medium was like 1-2 people size portion, she said it's worth for 3. Decided on small. When I picked it up, it looks like child size. Smaller then my handful. Slightly irritated, honestly should've asked for refund immediately. Said I wasn't to keen with the size, she said "would you like to try the medium?". Of course I was stupid. The medium was basically the same order just more lettuce, and real olives in the salad lol. She added another $4.40 for nothing. Very deceiving, and my mother told me a long time ago to never go there ever again. She was right lol. The similar price at Johns Best Pizza salad is double the amount & genuinely packed with thick slices for the cold cuts. Second point, if a certain restaurant has 3 salad sizes, they're just trying to rip you off. Their bread is bland too
