Restaurants in Batavia

“Went twice while in town for a few days, and I’ll definitely go back next time I’m in town.”

“Arrived at 7:55 unaware that this establishment closes @8 pm. I asked what time they close and the owner said 8 pm. I went to leave and he said wait where are going. We close at 8 but as long as you sit before you have time. Waitress was friendly and wasn't acting as we bothered her. Even the other waitresses were talking to us and joking around! phenomenal service Definitely do not find this hospitality or customer service now days! Sport of Kings you are top notch in our book. We appreciate and thank you so much!”

“This place is absolutely amazing. 9 times out of 10 this is my favorite spot for our Friday night dinners. I've never had a bad meal here and I doubt I ever will. I'm addicted to the broiled fish with crab stuffing and the lobster bisque is to die for, I'm not even lying. the owners are always walking around and talking to the customers and they remember everyone!! The staff is also so very welcoming and helpful. This truly is an amazing home town diner with the best food ever You will not regret giving this place a shot”

“The food is always good and they really know how to make a good margarita. Best chicken tenders I've ever had and the non chicken menu items are just as good!”

“Came for breakfast. Food was well prepared. The staff was very polite.
Kept my coffee tapped off.
I would suggest this place.

Wheelchair accessibility: I personally didn't use one.
But notice it was flat coming in.”

“Eli Fish is one of the most underrated spots in Western New York. Amazing beer with a huge selection--24 taps! Good cocktail program too. Shuffleboard, pool, live music in the square on the weekends in the summer, live music inside in the winter. Chicken fingers are homemade and incredible. I especially love their sour beers. Great vibes worth a visit.”

“Love this little Irish pub on a side street in Batavia. Try the Shepherd’s Pie…it’s the real deal.

Parking: Free parking right across the quiet street. Look both ways though!”

“Great place. Friendly service”

“Excellent experience. Workers were pleasant. We ordered 7 subs- all tasted amazing.”

“I ordered a chicken finger sub last night. No lie, it was the best sub I’ve ever had. Great job”

“never had a bad meal will continue to go back”

“Never had a bad meal there! We love it! And we don’t live that close! Drive 30 minutes. Best pizza, grilled wings,vino nite! And best service, which now a days you don’t get anymore! There you do! Friendly people, great food! So good!”

“Muy buenos los tacos las tortillas me encantaron muy buen lugar recomiendo a los compadres Batavia”

“My husband and I just got married there on Saturday, and he loves golfing there. The course is in great shape, but thanks to Danielle the day was absolutely perfect. Food was amazing, venue was beautiful, clean, staff was so kind. I wish we could repeat the day over and over and over again. Thank you Terry hills!!”

“What a gem of a place! We tried it for the first time and will definitely be back! The burgers were excellent and the bourbon drinks were delicious and well balanced. The cherry on the top was the waitress we had (Tess). She went above and beyond to make our dining experience extremely enjoyable! We will be back!”

“The food was so good, even the gluten free bread was tasty, and some of those products can be rough. Coffee was good and the servers were friendly and smiling. I love the dim ambience and classic decor. The vintage typewriters are very cool. I will definitely come here again.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread available.”

“Great place to stop and get a healthy breakfast, lunch or snack. Fresh tasty ingredients, service always respectful & friendly. New dragon fruit bowl is really good, I added Nutella and peanut butter dragon fruit”

“This place has that home-cooked meal feeling. Food is ALWAYS good. And the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend 🥰”

“Second time here and would definitely come again. Food was delicious, drinks fresh and cold, service was super fast and friendly! Eli was our server and he was fantastic - hardworking and eager to please. All in all a 5 star dining experience!!

Parking: Lots of parking space available”

“Stopped here on the way to a show in Niagara Falls. Reasonable prices, good food.”

“Absolutely the best! The kindest people ever! Best ice cream, huge variety. Make sure you leave a good tip! They work very hard!

I see one or two complaints in the reviews. I have always been polite and have never had a problem!!!! Nothing but the best service. Maybe it's not them.

It's family run. It's friendly. It's nice. They go above and beyond.”

“Great place for music. A lot of fun was gad!”

“The restaurant is fine. I know it is an "Italian steakhouse" with some pasta dishes, some seafood dishes and steak entrees at "market price". I hate asking for prices so I settled on a pasta dish. It was okay, but the tomato sauce was very heavy if you know what I mean. I had made the reservation in advance as we were staying there but I wasn't really in the mood for a big meal. I would have liked an option for a gourmet burger or steak sandwich, so I settled on the pasta because there was really no where else to eat at that establishment that had a decent dining atmosphere. Also, I was asked when I made the reservation through Open Table, if there was a special occasion. I added that it was my wife's birthday that day. Not sure why they asked because nothing came about from it. Open Table might as well not even ask if no one pays attention to it. Just my opinion for what it's worth.”

“I liked everything about this place. The food was awesome and the atmosphere was super cool. On our way from Niagara we found this cool place and had a pit stop for lunch. Kids enjoyed the lunch. We had sphegatti, Alfredo, Lobster soup and Pizza which was customized to our liking as we don't like Beef. Thanks a ton to the person who serviced us. He really was too cool from the time he met us until our billing. He even gave us a chocolate tower cake billed on house. The cake was full of chocolate and delicious. If I have anyone visiting to NY on this way I would surely recommend this place for anyone who wish to have a nice Italian Food”

“Best Pizza in Batavia! Friendly service and great food!”

“⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A Hidden Gem with Local History and Heart!

I absolutely loved my visit to this historic bar and grill! The atmosphere is rich with character and the staff were incredibly friendly! They made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in.

The food was fantastic with that homemade feel you just can’t get from a chain restaurant.

Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. Great service, delicious food and a piece of local history all rolled into one!”

“Parking: Has wheelchair parking spots but if you wish to park closer to the building then parking can be an issue

Kid-friendliness: Great place for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: Has a entrance that can accommodate wheelchairs, most tables can as well and the bathroom”

“Waitress was very courteous and very attentive. Her name was Carrisa. She was thoughtful to our needs, thank you some much for a wonderful experience, my wife and I will be back.”

“grest people that work there”

“Went there for a private Graduation ? Party. The whole restaurant and volleyball/Cornhole areas were awesome to keep people entertained. Waitress that was present was absolutely amazing. Friendly, constantly cleaning up tables and keeping hot chicken wings on the food table.”

“Pleasant local place to eat. Can always depend food will be good. Pricing is fair considering recent situation with costs. Always have a very nice server. All and all a nice experience.”

“We love Ficarella's. I can't recall any time we've had an issue because we keep going back. We got dinner from them 2 times this week and both times our order was 100% correct. Their online ordering is super simple and allows you to make almost any modification you want. They also have a drive up window if you can't/don't want to go inside.”

“The best bar in the state of New York. Frank will take care of you like a father. Genesee is $2.25 a bottle (November 2024) and the bathroom is functional. Do not visit Batavia without spending time at Kelly’s Holland Inn.”

“I always place a mobile order for walk in. Today that wasn’t an option and upon showing up the drive thru was out the road and not moving. After sitting for awhile I decided to walk in to check on my order since it had already been 15 minutes since I placed my order. Upon entering they were clearly severely short staffed for a Sunday morning but a young lady asked how we could be helped and I explained the situation and she got right on making our drinks. I was super appreciate of her positive attitude even while working during a busy stressful time. Every-time I’m there the employees are friendly and helpful!
I think any negative reviews are actually for the other location. Because I’ve never had an issue at the west main location.”

“No our first dining experience here, but my first review. The facility is a fantastically rustic bar/restaurant run by the same family for 56 years! and counting. The octagonal dining area gives full view of an open flame grill that gives great comfort and a home town feeling. Plenty of tables and chairs, quite nicely decorated open beam walls and ceiling. Our waitress/server, Vickie is a sweet woman, very attentive to your needs and quick on the draw with drinks and food delivery. A couple came in that hadn't been in the area for decades and it was a pleasure listening to Vickie's brief explanation of the restaurant and it's history. The couple clearly felt very comfortable. On to our experience . . We enjoyed a cold beer, fresh made bread (banana and plain) and our appetizers as we briefly waited for our dinner orders. My small chef salad was just the size I ordered, garnished with a few green peppers, tomato, etc. My husband enjoyed a bowl of cheeseburger soup, he say's was also delicious. Our meals arrived: mine was a fish fry with coleslaw, french fries, ample tarter sauce, and lemon. The FISH WAS COOKED PERFECT! I loved the nicely crisped batter with steaming tender fish when I pierced the batter with my fork. The french fries a similar to fresh cut size, and cooked perfectly, as well. My husband enjoyed a plate of fried breaded shrimp and french fries. Having enjoyed the shrimp on a previous occasion we knew it would be great! Clean shrimp, no tails, cooked and ready to pop in your mouth. Juicy and delicious. Plenty of cocktail sauce. It was nice to watch Chef Maureen cooking orders over the flame grill; a nice thick piece of pork, sizzling away. Such a great dinner and friendly people. Thank you! We will return!

Parking: There is a huge gravel parking lot next to the bar/restaurant.”

“the food is amazing. I went in for a to go order and sam at the bar was amazing. I just found out my sister passed away and was low in spirit but he helped put a smile on my face and blessed me with a meal. I thank him from the bottom of my heart and I want to say people like him make me believe in Angels answering prayers. thanks”

“Aaron was sooooo helpful! Wanted to order the $6.99 "only on the app" special for any footlong, but the app wasn't working. After showing Aaron the app malfunction, he made it work so I could still get the app deal price in store!! (#30 The Beast, super yummy!) This is rare to see these days @ most fast food restaurants or retail stores, but Aaron went above and beyond to make a customer very happy! Most food service workers these days have no idea what customer service is all about, and would have said "sorry, but that special is ONLY on the app, and even though the app isn't working, I can't help you". Kudos Aaron for showing what true customer satisfaction is all about!!!”

“Went to the Burnin' Barrel BBQ (Homestretch Grill) at Batavia Downs with Dad and Mom. Tried the Half-rack of Smoked Ribs while my parents had the Pulled Piggy (no bun) & onion strings. Absolutely delicious. Portions were generous and the BBQ sauce was amazing! Very beautiful mural in the dining area too!”

“this place is the BOMBBB it's so ghetto inside but that's when u KNOW the food finna be hittin it's affordable and mad good like come to panda and get yo plate”

“Awesome food and great service ❤️”

“One of my favorite spots to eat with friends in Batavia! Great wings! Pizza is excellent! Love their slices! Try the chicken wing dip 😋

Kid-friendliness: Yes kid-friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp near parking lot.”

“Great prices and food delish. I want to try more items. My friend's beer was $5.25. I thought that was a lot for a beer, but I also don't drink. Huge (many) screens for the sports, too.”

“Good food, reasonable prices, delivery, take out, out eat in. No more buffet. Super friendly family.

Parking: Lots of free parking.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“It's a plain atmosphere with good conversation amongst locals and the interior looks the exact same as it always has. The sauce was delicious, the cheese was stretchy and melty. The crust had a nice crunch yet soft at the same time. The customer service was professional and helpful. My partner asked for extra cheese. If you want to eat the pizza from a Goofy movie, order with extra cheese, it looks the exact same! It's not really a necessity tho. I definitely recommend!”

“Food was good and hot. It's a geat place to take the kids. We had to wait a bit after we were done eating for our server to return with check and to request boxes. We were also brought the wrong sauce for a meal. Not really deal breakers for me just little annoyances for the kids. The sauce was changed out when my daughter went up to a server and requested it. The staff was nice and accommodating. Lots of parking availability. The parking lot was nicely plowed especially with the weather we have had.”

“why do I HAVE to post a comment? what if i dont want to post a comment?”

“Every time we drive through Batavia, I’ve always wanted to stop. Today we stopped and got a couple Beef on Weck and cheeseburger. And some fried sides. Everything was great. Staff was super friendly. Service was quick. And pricing was less then you would pay at a fast food restaurant. Will go again.”

“I don’t normally feel compelled to do a review but I have to say the energy and service of this Jersey Mikes was impeccable! We randomly stopped here on a drive home to Pennsylvania and I’m so glad we did! I’ve never seen all the workers in such a good pleasant mood and so professional. The employee who was taking orders was so pleasant and asked everyone who came in while we were eating inside about what they were looking forward to. I know it’s something so simple but it makes a difference! I would go out of my way to go to this shop . I forgot yo mention the fact that my portobello mushroom swiss melt was amazing. I was also happy because this was my stepsons first experience at this franchise and they were happy to come back again! Thank you so much for the outstanding service! It did not go unnoticed. I also ate at the store on Monday afternoon on June 23rd. Keep up the wonderful things you are doing!”

“The food was great and server was nice but she was super pushy on making us order. I had to tell her 3 times we needed more time to look at the menu and she kept coming back every 5 minutes (the restaurant was empty it was around 11pm) the last time we just got fed up with her rushing us so we ordered food we weren’t exactly in the mood to eat but other than that it’s a good location.”

“Fresh food, attentive staff, clean, calm atmosphere, great price for dinner! Best China Buffet in the Rochester-Batavia area!”
