Rich's Cafe New Haven — Restaurant in New Haven

I've been wanting to try Rich's Cafe for about a year now, but I never go when they are open until the other day! I had gone with my mom for some much needed mom and son time! The atmosphere as soon as you walk in, even in the morning, was so welcoming, and of course, we were greeted with a welcoming hello! I have to say I love trying places like Rich's. The small town diner esqe locations always have their own unique charm, and our visit was nothing short of that! We aren't big breakfast folk! But when I tell you I enjoyed every part of my meal and then some! The portion size was fantastic, and I had enough to take home for later! The prices were so reasonable and worth every penny that we got! I was impressed by our server Charlie 👏 she was a wonderful and gracious waitress who took care of us and about 15 other people at the time but didn't miss one beat! Very attentive, and before you could ask for anything, she just had it ready for you! I had the country fried steak smothered in gravy with eggs and home fries. I am not a fan of country fried steak, but today I wanted to give it a try and it was good, but I want to try the other items they offer too They have some of the best ham I've had in a while! The home fries were good, and the fact they gave us 2 slices of toast per meal was awesome! Most places only give you one slice. I enjoyed my breakfast and will update my review once I catch the lunch rush! And I honestly can't wait to try...

First visit today & Won't be the last... The portion size was LARGE but also tasty with a high quality for a budget price. Reminded me of being in a small town house built dinner... I got breakfast, the corned beef hash, eggs, toast, & a side of well done bacon. Hash was great! Could of been a lil more crisp for me but was great. The only thing I thought was slightly lacking was my hashbrowns were onionless (didn't even know I was getting them) or I'd of asked for onions to be added. Eggs were poached nicely & barely any water left in serving bowl with eggs. 👍🏽👍🏽 My first 2 cups of coffee were pretty warm but not hot. Then my finale top off from a different waitress was HOT which I wasn't expecting. Just a heads up for other's. My buddy got the beef manhattan that was HUGE & looked great! He said it was surprisingly very nice as he found no fat & had good...

So anybody local would know that this has just gone under new ownership. It was closed for a little bit of time and has an entire new team. If you know Klem's Cafe on Wells Street, it has "The best breakfast in town", (TM). Rich's is now owned by the same company, so it is now "The best breakfast in town". And for those who don't know, they're to actually different towns. Both are currently using the same menu and the owner is currently working on bringing back some of the specialty items that were specific to this location. It is not uncommon that a transfer is not easy and sometimes very difficult but they are working their hardest to make sure that is the most comfortable transition for everybody who loves a good breakfast. All and all, it is a very good place for a wonderful breakfast with a...
