I absolutely love this place. It is a must visit if you're in the area. It has a large menue and everything I've had is great. The whiner grinder is still my favorite. There is a fairly descent beer selection as well. What really makes this place stand out is the atmosphere and service. It's just a little different than most places, you've really just got to go. Every server I have ever had seams to be sincere and energetic. I have never had poor service. When they are busy and another server passes they ask if you need anything as well so you're never waiting on a drink.
Lunches are slower and you can get in no problem. In the evening you may want to call and make reservations, especially for a larger group on the weekends.

Rack and Helen’s is a family owned bar/restaurant in New Haven with upscale bar food and one of the nicer dining establishments in the town, which is probably why it is a good idea to get reservations if you plan on going as it can fill up and have long wait times. If you prefer more of a dining experience than a bar one, best to go before 8 pm as the lights get dimmer and they start to set up for any promotional events, like karaoke on Thursdays after 9 pm and sometimes bands on the weekends.
They also catered food and it was a huge hit at the event I attended with the star being the pulled pork sandwiches. They have banquet room upstairs that can be rented.
The menu and look is a little like an Applebee’s, but on steriods when it comes to televisions as there were over a dozen. It has hardwoord and sort of an L shaped layout with the bar and kitchen on the out edge of the L shape. They have a full service bar and serve appetizers, burgers, grinders, pizza, sandwiches, sausage rolls, some dinner offerings, and a few salad and soup offerings. One thing not on the menu though is dessert.
Great place to eat in New Haven if you're out that way. My friend had a birthday party here and they were very accommodating. Food is great. Love the drinks. My experiences have always been lovely. You can't go wrong!
Not your average bar Food. Nachos, tater tots, french fries, wings, and everything else we tried were excellent.
Good service and food. Was told of this place by a friend that lives nearby. Very pleasantly surprised. Got a sausage roll and it was delicious. The staff was very helpful and it was busy there. Will return.

I love Rack & Helen's. Service is always excellent, the food is good and it's a very clean restaurant with a menu that has a variety to choose from. Tonight I had beef burrito and beef soft taco. The beef seasoning was really subpar maybe over cooked, the same with the refried beans. I've eaten here dozens of times and I've enjoyed every meal, just not tonight's. I'll be back in the next two weeks.
This has been one of my favorite places to eat for years. Just recently visited again and it's just as good as I remembered.
I’ve been on the keto diet for about a week now (I’ve lost 11lbs!), and frankly, I’m tired of cooking. I called ahead to see if Rack’s could accommodate; Chef’s Dan and Arron said no problemo!
They created an almond crusted Pollock, seared on the flattop with a lemon dill burde-blanc, and a side of baked green beans with red onion and bacon.
Christine made a Gin-Rickey (Gin, club soda, lime) which paired great with the almond and lemon flavor combo.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ and only 9 carbs for the entire meal!
First time there. Even with the covet restrictions it was pretty nice. The food was amazing I ordered a super roll (sausage roll). It looked amazing it tasted amazing and it was huge. I will definitely be going back. I will also call and order out when I'm not in the mood to go sit someplace. Highly recommend.
