I cannot even remember the first time I went to the Ramova Grill. All the fun in this place is stepping back into time and just enjoying a good part of Bridgeport's heritage. If this place was remodeled the whole aura would be lost. The signs on the wall with the price of the Chili written on a blackboard just gives you a feeling of all the Chicago greats have been in here. The Chili is fantastic and it tastes like it did right in 1959 and when you eat there you get this sense of mind that you are looking out the window looking at 1949 Mercurys and 57 Chevies. It is like a time warp. The booths as you walk in the booths are on your left and stools on the right. The cook and grill is situated right by the window and the smell of frying eggs and aroma of Burgers are in the air. This is not the place to go if you are an arrogant yuppie, this is a place for real people in the real world so poser's need not go there. And if you start bragging about New York and how fantastic it is, move on. This is Brideport PAL! When you order a burger and fries that is what you will get and fast. Prices are great and a five dollar bill will even go a long way. You don't even have to ask for water. It is a good place to walk in and just read the newspaper and enjoy a cup of coffee. The Ramova Grill is great and Bridgeport would never be the same without it.
Pros: Good simple Greasy spoon type restuarant with quality and great Chili.
Cons: What you see is what you get and there is nothing bad to say about this place.
