Longley's Restaurant — Restaurant in Branford

Longley's, formerly Allegra's, was a disappointment. When we arrived there was no staff member around to greet us. The bartender looked at us but never waved, said hello or came over to help. After several minutes, someone finally came over and told us we could pick where we wanted to sit in the dining room but it could not be a "big" table. Mind you there was only one other table seated and of course we ended up right next to them because that is where the "small" tables were.

Our waitress was friendly but service was slow. For food, we ordered the nachos supreme and pretzels to start. The nachos had half the cheese that was melted and the rest was straight out of the bag. They forgot our chicken we asked for as well. The pretzels were good though. For meals, I ordered the chicken Italiano wrap with well done fries. The chicken was dry and the fries were so well done they were inedible. My husband ordered the steak and cheese panini with tots. He enjoyed his sandwich but the tots tasted like they were straight out of the bag, no seasoning and had freezer burn.

I can't say we would be quick to come back based on this experience and how expensive eating out is these days. We want a meal...

I'm deeply disappointed by the unpleasant and frustrating experience my husband and I had at this establishment. We decided to try it out based on a friend's recommendation, but upon arrival, we weren't acknowledged . I initially didn't take offense, considering it was a busy Thursday night. We then proceeded to the bar, where the bartender also failed to acknowledge us. While this didn't bother us at first, we couldn't help but notice that a white couple who arrived after us was immediately served. It's now 2023, and no establishment should make people feel uncomfortable or discriminated against due to their skin tone. We decided to leave at this point, and I'm committed to sharing our experience to ensure others don't face similar situations. If I could rate this place with zero stars, I certainly would. We said nothing and walked away because we didn't want to be stereotyped as “Angry Black People”. This experience is deeply discomforting, and it's hard to wash away this bad taste from our mouths. Simple gestures like "I'll be with you in a minute" go a long way in ensuring all customers feel valued...

This is Akim. I go almost every day. Sometime super drank but today I went there. I didn't drink that much . Some guys who are the owner friends come to his place and drink with him. I was just one corner and drinking my drink. They asked me that where I am from. I told them my country . One of guy told me that I am from Italy and I don't like Brown color. He tried to hit me. I just ignore and tried to make attention to bartender and owner . But they don't help me. They support to owner friends . And bartender told me that I need to pay the tabs and just leave. I told him that what is my mistake . I am just drinking my drink. They are trying to fight with me. But he forced me to go out. I called the cops . But owner talked to the cops and tried to prove that I am drank. Anyway I was not drank . I just saw that how the racisgam is going on this country. I will take the legal action against this restaurant . Just matter of time. If you are racist, you will hate me but if you are human, you will understand . God bless us and God...
