Restaurants in Rochester

“We spent our rainy day at Novel for the first visit. What a quaint, cozy, fantastic way to spend the day. The food (sandwich and soup) was wonderful and the book selection was plentiful. Five stars for this gem. We will be back for lunch.”

“Awesome place, food and people. Go there.”

“Great people, great food, and a great value. We really appreciate Mark and the food he makes. His growing community of culinary partners truly enriches the food scene in Southwest Michigan. Our family can't wait to see what they come up with next at The Flavor Lab MI!”

“If you’re looking for burgers and sandwiches, this is your place. Prices are super reasonable as well, especially for being in downtown Rochester. It is a bar, so it’s not gourmet, but it’s probably the best bar food you’ll have. The only issue is parking since their lot has probably 6 or 7 spaces. You’ll probably end up parking across the street at the library or behind the building next door near the community park.”

“Went to Rochester Bistro last weekend, taking clients as our guests. The entire staff did a wonderful job, food was outstanding, attention to detail. Overall an excellent experience. Thanks so much for making our evening special!! We will be back.”

“This place is the best and most friendly place I’ve ever ate at. The waiters was so nice and were never rude. The food was on point as well maybe one of the best breakfast meals and pancakes I’ve ever had.”

“We have been to many cider mills and had many donuts, these are by far the best cinnamon sugar donuts we have ever had. It was hard to stop at one. We live an hour away but will definitely be back.”

“We had dinner on Sunday and Ethan was our waiter. He was very welcoming, attentive, and went above and beyond. Our food was delicious and we had a great time. Thanks!”

“Exceptional vibe, service, drinks, oysters, and mussels at this spot right on main Street right in the middle of everything. The welded and riveted metal (tin?) bar is the best.”

“Love coming to Bitter Tom’s. Great atmosphere and amazing staff. Sonja is an amazing bar tender that will curate a drink to your needs. Great for a casual drink or night out. 10/10 recommend!”

“The pud thai they serve is my favorite. If you like spicy food I would go with medium and you always can add a little more with the paste they have on the side. This place is a gem”

“Great food, great restaurant, & great service! It was our first time here and Angie was our waitress and made our experience wonderful. Would recommend. 12/10”

“I’ve never had a bad meal at any one of their many restaurants. We celebrated my daughter and her graduation this evening with dinner at the Deer Lake Inn. Everything we had was great and the server we had was superb, great food and service. The entire menu is good, you can’t go wrong.”

“This place is AMAZING! Excellent food, service, drinks, and view. Our server Michael was phenomenal. We can’t wait to come back”

“I had an incredible experience with Holy Cannoli’s. The cannoli shells are nice and crisp, and the filling is delicious. They fill each cannoli when you order, which keeps the shells crisp and the filling fresh. I will definitely be going back for more.”

“When is you car show starting”

“I drink most coffee black. It was hot, just brewed, and smooth. I recommend. Raspberry Torte had balanced sweetness, proper crumb, just enough fluff and moisture. Donya is a kind conversationalist.”

“We moved to RCH a few weeks ago and are Chai Latte snobs 😂. Cafe 3:16 has THE BEST Dirty Chai Latte we have had in a very long time! Great service, clean and cozy atmosphere, and wonderful menu items!”

“Diverse menu with delicious choices. They also have a separate Vegan menu that looked equally as delicious. Great service and location. I loved how you can both eat in as well as pick up an order. Great food so I will definitely be back.”

“Great New York style pizza! Easy online ordering and pick up process. Food was hot and tasty. We had a classic cheese and pepperoni pizza, ordered the special calzone and garlic knots. Everything was delicious!”

“Finally made it to this beautiful bakery today, and it was a wonderful experience. We were greeted promptly and kindly by Paulette, who answered questions and made suggestions. She was so helpful and engaging. My husband chose a Cinnamon Roll and I chose a Kronut. Both were absolutely delicious. The window display of Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown is next-level, and worth the trip from anywhere, but make sure you go inside and get some awesome treats while you are there. Excellent, fresh baked goods and wonderful service, in an inviting and mouth-watering environment. Home Bakery takes the cake!”

Their roast beef is the best thing you'll ever have between two pieces of bread without a doubt and it's made in-house. Keep up the outstanding work, Main Street Deli!”

“Outstanding happy hour experience today! Love the atmosphere and the menu. Margaritas were yummy. Service was great.”

“Food is very good! Egg rolls are not greasy like many other restaurants. First time for us, we’ll definitely be back!”

“We always have great service grabbing a cup of coffee before grocery shopping. I love the Starbucks in LO too, but if you know LO's line is going to be long (time of day), stop inside and grab your latte quick at this location!

Kid-friendliness: CAKE POPS

Parking: Parking is Kroger parking; there is always space!

Wheelchair accessibility: Best as I can tell, the wheelchair accessibility is great (or motorized carts)”

“Last night my family and myself went to Grand Tavern for supper after a long day. Our waiter Xhorxh was absolutely amazing! Personally, I have dietary restrictions and explained to him that I am unable to have gluten, dairy, or egg. I had already pre-creeped the menu before arriving so I could find a meal that would be easy to hopefully adapt to my dietary restrictions. After explaining my restrictions Xhorxh was ON IT! He immediately spoke to the chef and the chef adapted my meal to my restrictions. Xhorxh did tell me that there could be a possible cross contamination with gluten on one of my sides and explained that they couldn’t guarantee that that one thing would be gluten free. Listen, not very often in the service industry do you come across a wait staff member or chef that made sure to cross all of the boxes. I ordered brussel sprouts as the appetizer without the cheese (I could have had three plates of that it was so good) and the cedar plank salmon and ordered two veggies as my side. IT was DELISH!!!!! Xhorxh also made sure that our drinks were constantly filled and took amazing care of our family. My MIL even made a comment after we received our meals how she really liked him as a waiter. I wished we had a Grand Tavern where we lived but unfortunately we are 8 hours away but we will absolutely be back when visiting family! ❤️”

“The food was good but….. When I gave the waitress the cash to pay my bill she owed me change. She returned to the table with my change but not the coins. She turned around and looked at the wait staff behind the bar. One of them went over to the register immediately to retrieve my coins….. They already knew she did not give me all my change. She then proceeded to bring over the rest of my change.”

“Great, atmosphere and food! A real bonus with free crispy cheesecake for our birthdays”

“Love there mango magic smoothie”

“Came to town to celebrate my cousin's upcoming wedding and I stopped here with her for some cocktails. The atmosphere was perfect, we used the outdoor seating area and enjoyed hanging out for a few hours. Drinks were super good, all the staff was friendly, and our server, Nick, was super fun and we enjoyed chatting with him! Thank you, Saint 1881 and staff. We had an amazing time :)”

“This has become one of my favorite cupcake stops! Love the different options they have every month, but also that they keep the same flavors all year round. They give you the option between full cupcakes and minis.”

“Abdul, Abdul what a waiter, super polite and kind. Always has a shining smile on his face while helping you out. He is the best waiter ever, will for sure be back. Great food and all in all great experience.”

“My daughter and I had so much fun with our waitress Avery, she was funny, attentive and just cute as a button. I’m pretty sure we adopted her.
The charcuterie was just meh
but the Margherita pizza and Jambalaya was outstanding!
We tried a flight which was super fun with their Summer selections and the black Cherry Moscow Mule was delish.
They have to go growlers for your favorite beer selections and 6 packs as well.
Try the beer cheese soup and clam chowder!
We will for sure be back.”

“The service was fantastic. I was greeted with a smile and very helpful staff. Made sure my order was correct and read it back to me before payment. Did not take long at all and tasted fantastic. 10/10”
