It doesn't have the mystique of the original Newt's and I miss the Fatty Melt that is no longer on the menu. That said Newt's is a Rochester staple, the restaurant group that owns it knows what they are doing and knows how to provide a solid night out, good for families or hanging out with friends.

Hmmm. We'll see what happens. I've just had the manager explain to me that the raw center on my hamburger is "their medium rare", and that if I want a warm, pink center, that I actually should have ordered medium or medium well. If raw beef is their medium rare, I wonder what passes for rare or raw. I just want dinner without getting sick. The waitress has been quite adequate, and the fries are piping hot. Our appetizer was wonderfully hot, and served with our sandwiches. The burger that my wife has is actually the temp that she ordered. It's odd to me to have someone spend time to educate me on their version of meat temps, rather than get the raw food off of the table and make it correctly. The remade sandwich was prepared correctly.

We were recommended to go here by several people at our hotel. Ok we took an Uber across town and arrived at Newts. We were greeted at the door, seated promptly. The hostess was very friendly. Menus were brought to the table. We ordered. Our drinks and popcorn was promptly brought. Everything was good until now… Ordered a $17. Todd’s burger, but I wanted onions tomato and lettuce on it. I ok paying for these toppings but was told the burger only comes with what’s listed. Ok can I add it, no they only come with what listed in the menu. Well ok, she continues with the order asking how I wanted it cooked and the side I wanted. The burger arrived. Burnt, dry and had what appeared to be hard boiled eggs. Probably one of the top 5 worst burgers I’ve ever had. The patty melt was had way too much oil on the bread. It was completely saturated slimy and soggy. The fries were cold and taste old. Like dirty fry oil. The side salad we ordered was very good. The drinks were always full and the best part of the meal was the free popcorn. Honestly that’s the only thing I would have paid for.I would not recommend this place for burgers, but if you’re in the mood for a salad and popcorn….I didn’t take any pictures inside or of our food, but the corn tower across the street was pretty cool looking. I guess we are just spoiled in Oregon with quality fresh burgers.

Server/waiter was on top of everything. Never had an empty drink and checked on us often. Food was great and didn’t have a long wait. It was very clean and well laid out. The only change I would like to see is a separated exit door. I recommend this place.

I love Newt's ambience, like an old, comfortable friend's kitchen. Feels homey. Love their popcorn for appetizer, always fresh and perfectly seasoned! The burgers are consistent, well cooked, the toppings are great (you do have to specifically ask for lettuce and tomato, though), and the combinations of flavors are excellent. I personally prefer burgers that come in a Brioche or Pretzel bun, hence the 4 stars instead of 5... but that is a preference. Always good, solid, reliable burger. They make a great spicy Bloody Mary of that is your thing, too.

There was one other couple in the restaurant when we went in. They made a burger that wasn't on the menu for my date and we had a great time sitting talking and eating some amazing burgers!

Was dirty! My fish was over cooked! Change the oil people! 100.00 later for a group of three no alcohol! Will not ho back! We have options besides newts! Mot even on the list of good places to eat in Rochester!
We stopped in to try their burgers. Our appetizer came out so quickly, followed very timely by our burgers. Would love to try more menu items but our stay in Rochester is too short.
Children's chicken strips and fries are not appealing to young children, but delicious as an adult. Complimentary popcorn is very greasy.Kid-friendliness: not really
Great burger! Don't skip by this place.
