“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.”

“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!”

“My wife and I were lucky enough to dinner here with her parents. The food was amazing. Best lobster tail I've ever had. She got the seafood risotto and also thought it was very good.

I would highly recommend when you're looking for a fancy night out.”

“Corner bar is an excellent place for the summertime! The music is great, vibes are good and drinks are delicious. I had the watermelon salad paired with a Hugo spritz, both classic choices. They have a summer capri pop up right now which is so cute for the girlies to hang out and take pics! Service is phenomenal, Angie always takes care of me so well. Plus the owner is extremely friendly, greeting every table. It really shows what a great atmosphere they’ve created! Definitely will be back !!”

“It was a delivery and I was surprised at how small size chicken teriyaki sub was packed with chicken, mushrooms, and onions on multigrain(not common these days). I’m not a large person, but that made a for a good solid meal for me with their delicious fries. I will go to the restaurant now to try something else on the menu. This place is good value for money.”

Chicken Shack in Rochester!!!! Always great!!!
Just had to update with pictures, see why we love this place!!!!”

“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! ❤️”

“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 :)”

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Love there mango magic smoothie”

“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.”

“This is a great local brewery and restaurant. The turkey Reuben is fantastic. The outdoor seating area is spacious and has the ability to sit in covered or uncovered space. There is a great beer selection.

Afterwards, the Paint Creek Trail and the Clinton River trail are just steps away. Also, if you are wanting to shop, Downtown Rochester and Main Street are just a couple of blocks away.”

“The burgers are really good but they have better options like the French fries which are known to be the best, and all the different milkshakes you are able to get all tasting good. The service was also good as they were pretty nice for a fast food chain.”
