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.

    As always, another delicious meal at Little Riggs. We very much enjoyed the chef’s dessert - unique to each table. An inverted cannoli - just divine!

    This is now becoming our “go to” spot. We’ve been multiple times and have consistently enjoyed the food, the ambience, and most importantly, the staff. The menu has something for everyone and the quality of the food is amazing. What truly sets this place apart from the others in town are the staff. They are pleasant, professional, attentive, and most of all fun. If have a chance to eat at the bar, go for it! Watching the staff work together and hustle around while obviously enjoying their jobs is entertaining. Special shout out to Nick who makes the best old Fashioned I’ve ever had. This place is a true home run!
