About MERRITT CANTEEN INC


Great mix of menu items that everyone can truly find a favorite from to eat. There is plenty of Fresh Seafood, juicy Burgers, Hot Dogs and the rest of the standard American classics we've all grown up with. However, do consider the New England Clam Chowder, Chili Dogs, Fried Soft-Shell Crab and finally their Deep-Fried Cheesecakes for a great dessert or starter! Since 1942, this amazing diner in the heart of Bridgeport is your casual dining spot that will never disappoint. Over the years they have been pioneers in the dining world by setting new standards and features for modern diners. They even included an ice cream parlor in the late 50's, a first of their kind. It's hard to find out what true American Food is all about as many places these days just really have no idea and with so many different cultures and influences throughout the years, true American food has been lost. This is exactly why we are so grateful about the Merritt Canteen as they have stayed true to this culinary history and serve it proudly each day for you. It's all tasty, fresh and in a nut-shell, old-school LEGIT! The definition of comfort food when it was just truly, good old American food. In our many travels and over 1000 diners to choose from on our site, it really doesn't get any better than this when it comes to American classic cuisines done right and as it should be.
