Took my daughter here for lunch since she needs to visit 5 new places over spring break for her project. After reading mixed reviews I was skeptical about coming here. I must say that those who received poor service I feel bad for because the service was great. Maybe it was because we were also the only people there.
As for the food, my daughter ordered the downtown fish and chips with a side of white rice and corn nibbles. I ordered the wings with collard greens and mac and cheese. Plus we got empanadas (chicken and spinach and cheese). My daughter said everything was delicious. The rice was a little salty but still good. She absolutely loved the spinach and cheese empanada. My food was good. Wings were nice and crispy and the honey on the side was great. The Mac and cheese was not even warm, but it was good. I personally would have liked a little more cheese, but that's just because I believe everything could have a little more cheese. The collard greens were tasty, but felt like it was missing something. Just can't figure out the something is.
Overall wonderful experience. The empanadas were a little costly at $8 each so I probably will not order that again. Bathroom was clean as well as the establishment. Over all a 4 just because the sides were not priced in the menu so it wasn't until the bill came that I found out how much they were. ($26 was just for a bowl of white rice, corn and 2 empanadas. Not worth it in my book).
I will probably be back in the near future.

The food tastes better than it looks! Rich, yet balanced flavor profile, not excessively buttered or oily.
If you're a fan of soul food, you have got to check out Miss Thelma's. They've survived in Bridgeport for decades, and it's no surprise why. 🤌

Visited for the first time during a birthday brunch party over the weekend. A lot of pros here, but there were a few cons for me. There is ample street parking with the court house and other corporate businesses closed, awesome 5/5. Fairly spacious, bright/well lit and well decorated space, not a dark dungeon like some establishments. Multiple flat screens, although some were off, 4/5. There was a live DJ playing a great selection of new and old classics of various genres and eras. Music wasn't overly loud either, great for casual conversation, 5/5. The group/party I was with had sangria and mimosa pitchers. We ordered bespoke drinks also, they were well made and pretty stiff. You get your monies worth here, 5/5. The food wait was a bit long, but the place was filling up with other groups. Great portion size, hot and freshly made. Price point was very fair as well, 4/5 here and I would love to visit again to try other menu items. The bathrooms are single person but separate women's and men's. Both were clean and well stocked as my girlfriend and I used them before leaving. 5/5. There are areas that have hanging canvas artwork but, some of the tables/chairs are overly close to them sadly and we feared some would fall if bumped/brushed against, 3/5 for the danger & lawsuit factor here. There was some sort of door security, but the gentleman they had was not attentive and did not "look" physically capable of stopping any sort of altercation/circumstance that could arise, 2/5. Safety is always a priority. Another circumstance that was a bit concerning was the fact they did not check or confirm vaccination status. The majority of the staffers/hostesses and DJ were not masked the entire time. There was no sort of proper ventilation except patrons entering and leaving the main entrance and you getting a gust of fresh air, easily a 2/5 because of this with the lingering covid concerns.. Overall the experience at Miss Thelma's was great with a warm, inviting vibe and a delicious southern inspired soul food menu. - ⭐️⭐️⭐️½

I use to love ordering food from here but my experience last night made me highly disappointed in this restaurant. The macaroni and cheese use to be my favorite side dish to order, however when I opened my meal I saw multiple strands of hair. I couldn’t believe what I saw & the fact it looks like it was intentional. So moving forward I have lost all interest in ordering food from this restaurant again which is very unfortunate because my family & I was loyal customers. I marked the spot of hair that caught my attention, couldn’t bother looking through the whole thing to see if there is more. I was very upset & disappointed SMH!!

Love this place! Whether it's for weekend brunch or Wine Down Wednesdays, it's always a great time. Be sure to make reservations & take note who took you spoke to

First visit to meet friends, also their first time too. The service was exceptional and the food was good. It game out in a timely manner considering how busy they were. We were there for two hours and my throat got sore from trying to converse over the music. The DJ is really good and the songs will get you singing and dancing. It's more like a club that sells food. Go and have a good time. Definitely will repeat it even though it's a little over an hour drive

One of the best restaurant in downtown Bridgeport. with a wide variety of options on the menu, not to mention the authenticity and the taste it's a must go if you're in downtown Bridgeport.

OMG the food was delicious..Can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu. Our waitress was awesome as well.

The fried chicken is always on point and is my favorite along with collard greens and yellow rice. I even order it with no flour since I'm gluten free. The bar takes my dining experience to another level. Food and fuel for the soul!

It was 9 pm when we got there and there was no ice for drinks . There was no paper in the ladies room. They were using napkins instead. I was afraid if I put the napkins in the toilet, it would over flow. They also didn’t have take out plastic bags. The food wac ok sand portion sizes were good.

Stopped in after a Service in Bridgeport before returning home to Stamford. Glad I did. The Sunday Buffet filled me up. The food was great. That may well be my after Sunday Service spot even when I attend my home church in Stamford. Well worth the drive on 95.

The food is always great
The service I experienced on 12/24/17 was something I never seen my life.
Food wasn't ready, bathroom was not clean and the pure lack of professionalism would astound you.
I suggest order your food to go

Great food and atmosphere! Buffet is great if your in a hurry or want a sample of some things on the menu. Especially love this place if I don't feel like cooking lol.
Lynn Mosher
Amazing home style cooking. Great prices. Their buffet on Fridays and Sundays are the best.

Great Soul Food at Miss Thelma's, BPT, CT. Miss Thelma's (Bridgeport, CT) is a diamond in the rough. While the decore is a bit "gritty" the food is great. I've visited twice over the past six months - and had the same meal both times: shredded pork, greens and black-eyed peas. Both times, the food was very good (and also very affordable at $10). One caveat: Be sure to order from the menu. There's a buffet - but it never looks all that inviting. Recommended.
