33 Best Bar & Grill near Rochester

“Not the best food. I had a slider and the Mini Taki Mac and Cheese. The slider was excellent would definitely get it again, but the Mac and cheese was very underwhelming. It had just a little bit of takis dust on top but very little cheese sauce. Service and atmosphere were both excellent though

Vegetarian options: They have veggie tacos and I think i saw a veggie burger option. The veggie tacos look good even as an omnivore.

Parking: Lots of parking space“

“What a great place, food was amazing and the server was so nice. The ball game was over so not much to watch and it was quite empty but make sure to check it out and fill it up!

Kid-friendliness: kids loved my wife's pasta, tasting the bbq sauce on my ribs and there own mac and cheese was a hit“

“Vast variety of wine and cocktails. There is something for everyone from drinks to food. The menu will not disappoint.“

“first time there for Lions tailgate party! Absolute awesome place to watch the game. Donnie the manager was very attentive to our larger party. Kaylie was awesome at taking care of us. Good time all around had by all. The $16 buffet pre game was a great value, and the food was excellent. Highly recommend checking out the tailgate party before every game!“

“Had a family celebration and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. Our waiter Grant did duty above and beyond. The hostess was helpful in finding a table that could accommodate us and the menu provided something for everyone. A wonderful evening“

“Great view, nice menu, good food!“

“Loved the food. Ava our waitress was great. We will most definitely be back.“

“A special day. A special night. Couldn't be better. Arranged by our son and daughter. The waiter did everything, except eat our food. The wines were a delight and the steak and salmon were prepared with artistry. He guided us with each entre and the salad was shared by us with dressing aside. Wine, was by the glass and was both red and white and light, semidry and elegant. Our perfect dinner ended the perfect evening. Thank you 220 Merrill for a wonderful 50th.“

“Dec 2nd, we did a celebration of life for 60 people. Outstanding service, buffet, and the deserts were over the top. Everyone enjoyed the event, and I received comments for 2 weeks on what a great GEM Golden Eagle Restaurant is.“

“I only sampled some of the appetizers but the food here was quite good and the service was attentive without becoming disruptive, prices and selection were competitive with other pubs in the same price point.

My only complaint: the beer menu is a digital display behind the bar. This means that depending on where you sit you may have to crane your neck around (inside, at or close to the bar) or even leave your seat (inside, in a separate room from the bar or on the patio) to see the options. Also I imagine if you are seated at one of the tables under the screen you may feel like people are looking at you!
Since the list is digital, it should be possible to have a QR code at each table that allows people to see the beer list, etc. from their smartphones, this would solve problems at least for the younger generation, so I hope the owners will consider this improvement!

Parking: Incredibly spacious and close to the back of the bar“

“My experience with Robusto’s has always been a great one. Food, drinks, cigars and service always hits right on the nail and I always leave this place looking forward to coming back. I bring family and friends here with me and they always look forward to coming back again to hangout. 10/10 place. They’re doing something right here and I love being a regular at Robusto’s. If you want to eat, smoke, and drink and have a good time? Truly come here. You will not regret it.“

“Whether its crime, traffic incidents, potential dangers, or even just News about lost items and good Samaritans... i always hear it first on MCS!“

“Stopped in for a nice lunch. Waitress was friendly and the service was good. Food was good as well.“

“Very fun atmosphere ❤️❤️ everyone was super friendly great service good food and drinks“

“Great Burger and great Bloody Mary“

“Took our first trip to this place just last night. Has a little bit of everything for those not looking to stay seated during dinner. Food took forever though and was decent. Waitress was a little lost with constantly asking our table of 6 what they ordered and whose drink went with whose order. Other than that the atmosphere was pretty cool. We played some cornhole, which was decently priced by the hour ($10). Plus they had classic arcade games, free to play like Ms Pac Man, Galaga, Frogger, and Donkey Kong along with 90’s classics like Mortal Kombat, NFL Blitz and House of the Dead. Plus over a dozen pinballs. Arcade area was a sight to see since most places now use carnival or ticket games. They also had a poker room which was full. Did not see any pool tables, darts or disc golf so not sure if those get removed during poker night. I’d consider coming back but not during their busier times. It was more than half capacity but id imagine an even further delay on food or your wait staff being really lost handling more than 20 orders at multiple tables. Either way I’d recommend it as long as you aren’t really hungry going in or don’t like huge crowds.“

“Gator Jakes is one of the best bar/restaurants in the area!!! Awesome food, great specials and delish drinks. The wait staff and bartenders are always so nice and efficient. The Hurricane burger is one of the best burgers I have had. The atmosphere is always fun and there are tons of televisions to watch sports. Stop in there soon!!!!“

“Good atmosphere, great food and awesome bartenders“

“Great meal! Great service! Lisa & team were awesome!“

“I enjoy coming into Whiskey Rae's to grab dinner with a friend, but I have also hosted several events here for my clients. Kelly is the best! She always takes great care of me and all of my guests. Food is great, especially the pizzas and the bartender makes great cocktails that everyone enjoys. My clients are already asking when we are going back!“

“Dude. We went here last night…AMAZING. Food was great. Drinks were great. Music was A VIBE. I feel bad I don’t remember the server’s name who was outside on the patio, but genuinely some of the best service I’ve ever had, and I worked in the industry for 10+ years. He made great recommendations, was running his butt off, and just overall did a great job. You guys keep doing exactly what you’re doing. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“Awesome food and drinks for over 15+ years. Come on in!!“

“Love the new sand courts and bar.“

“Love this bar. Food, fun and friends“

“Normally I have had great service and good. Today was the exception. We waited for over 10 minutes before I had to stop someone to ask who our waitress was ( she was in the area several times yet never stopped at our table). Someone else stopped by and brought drinks before she came and took our order. We waited another 15 minutes before she came and informed me that they were out of the gravy for the skillet. My husband’s food was already out and served. I received my food about 5 minutes later and it was good. Definitely not good customer service today!!“

“Let me just say I didn't actually go in but I placed a special order over the phone. I spoke with Adrienne and it was a great experience. She did a wonderful job, I will absolutely be going in person now.“

“Went here for my 21st birthday and will never forget it. I had such a great time with coworkers/ friends. This place left me with a feeling like I found a hidden gem that no one knew about. This place has great food, amazing employees and a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.“

“All I can say is WOW! I had my baby shower there today and Zach and Rosa took care of us. They were the absolute BEST team we could have asked for, they went above and beyond for us. Beyond serving and bartending, Zach helped us unload and load our car, hang decorative banners and Rosa was helping us brainstorm how to make the best of the space and was very sweet to make sure everything was timed out just how we wanted it! The food was absolutely delicious, too! We got the lunch buffet and would highly recommend that to anyone considering booking a party here! Also a big thank you to the managers, Pip and Tim who helped to make our party perfect and were so accommodating! Thank you to the awesome Camp Ticonderoga staff!“

“Great atmosphere and amazing food!! Nothing I don’t love ❤️“

“I usually get take-out from 24th Street & really love their food. I would especially recommend the Saganaki & the Philly Sub. The prices are reasonable & the staff is friendly. They always have the local games playing on a large number of TVs too, so you can see your favorite team from just about every seat in the building.“

“Fun casual dining- great food, good service!“

“Service is always great and the food delicious. Outdoor patio is a nice plus!“

“No long waits friendly staff, hot delicious food!“
