Eli's Restaurant Group's Newest Edition NOW OPEN on the Boston Post road in Orange, CT! Eli’s Restaurant Group, a true “family” of restaurants, was founded over two decades ago by true brothers in spirit. They knew that a restaurant chain based on a philosophy that upscale American cuisine combined with a warm, friendly, inviting atmosphere and extraordinary service would result in the perfect meeting place for families, friends and sports fans alike to EAT, DRINK AND ENJOY all that Eli’s Restaurants have to offer.

This legacy began in 1994 with the opening of our flagship restaurant, Eli’s on Whitney, located in the heart of Hamden, Connecticut just down the road from Quinnipiac University. Eli’s, as the original restaurant is known, has been the genesis of three more restaurants: Eli’s Brick Oven Pizza and Market located next door to Eli’s on Whitney Avenue in Hamden;  Eli’s Branford which sits atop “the Hill” in Branford, CT; and Eli’s Tavern on Daniel Street, Eli’s Restaurant Group’s most recent offering, in the chic downtown district of Milford, CT.

Three of our American fair themed restaurants feature our signature Eli’s Horseshoe Bar, the perfect place to sit and watch your favorite team on one of our many big screen TVs while getting a drink from our large selection of craft beers, specialty cocktails, and wines. Combine our extensive drink selection with a mouthwatering burger, crisp, fresh salad, or perfectly cooked entrée for an unparalleled meal. Each of our locations is a perfect daytime or late night setting for hanging out and having a great time with friends.

Eli’s Catering Division offers a wide ranging variety of catering options for weddings, elegant affairs, and corporate events held at any of our restaurants or an off-premise location of your choice.  Our restaurants offer private and personal event spaces which include private rooms, loft space, conference rooms, and a New York Style Pub, along with more traditional rooms that will accommodate any of your functions whether you want to host 10 or 175. All of our restaurants are Wi-Fi capable and have large screen TV’s for presentations. Whether you are looking for a corporate breakfast meeting in our conference room, a bridal or baby shower, rehearsal dinner, wedding, birthday or anniversary party, our Executive Chef specializes in customizing menus to fit your guest list and venue.

Whether you’re looking for a quick drink, a large gathering, or anything in between, Eli’s is the place to be to Eat, Drink, and Enjoy!
