“We had 8 of us show up and we were served outside with our two dogs while they were also hosting a huge indoor event! Food was delicious, drinks were right on and sitting outside with our dogs was lovely! I thought it would be a much longer wait for everything since they were so busy but it was not at all! They are also offering some kickball league, cornhole, and so much more! There’s live music every weekend and just an overall wonderful place to go.”

“Excellent meal at Il Posto tonight! We highly recommend the restaurant for your next cultural experience! Delicious!”

“My new husband and I came to the Finger Lakes on our honeymoon. We were in Canandaigua and were recommended Wally's by a local for a late-night dinner. What a fantastic experience! We had the wings and the Wally's plate, and we’ll be thinking of both for a long time!”

So happy that I found this company. The tea is great and the personalization with the handwritten notes shows that they really care about their customers. Small businesses are the backbone of this country.Keep up the good work Susan.”

“Thank you so much for the outstanding job on the cold cut tray we ordered for a birthday celebration. Everything from the meats, cheeses, toppings, condiments and rolls were fresh and delicious. Everyone enjoyed it and was a hit with our guests. The service was also appreciated as the young man insisted on helping me load everything into the car. Really appreciate the job you do and having you close by. Thanks!”

“Ordered this for Christmas eve pick up for my son. He has been asking for one for 3 years. He said it was AMAZING. (Didn't eat the whole thing...although he tried.) Unbelievable for the price. I got a small bite. Great flavor, icing was great, not too sweet. Would recommend for anyone looking for a delicious treat.”

“Loved the atmosphere lots of high wood beams made to look like an authentic German house interior. Male Wait staff dressed in lederhosen and the ladies were dressed in Dirndl dresses, it was such a lively place. Our server Stormy was great and very attentive. This was our first time here and we loved it! I ordered the Reuben Schnitzel red and it was delicious! Really thin Schnitzel breaded lightly and corned beef on top with Swiss melted over it Awww! Couldn’t eat it all. Son got the Jagerschnitzel. Delicious! Wife got the Hahnchen Altes Land. Also delicious. Thanks for a great dining experience. We shall be back!”

“Comfortable atmosphere and delicious choices ~ the English muffin bread grilled cheese with tomato was exactly on in every way. Look forward to visiting again !!”

“We LOVED our first experience here. The homemade bread, sausage and baked goods were on point- along with one of the BEST biscuits and gravy ever- we honestly think this is one of the best places for breakfast in Canandaigua. We can’t wait to come back and try lunch! We loved hearing the history of this family woman owned and operated business! Cheers to a comfortable, cozy atmosphere with delicious food!”

Each sip is a perfect burst of sunshine in a glass!! Plus, they host such fun events that make every visit feel special! The staff are a huge part of why we keep coming back. They’re always upbeat, patient, and genuinely happy to be there. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, they make you feel welcome and appreciated. The atmosphere is fun, relaxed, and family-friendly. We always enjoy listening to the music, soaking up the sunshine, and sipping on the most delicious cider. It’s the kind of place that just makes you feel good!! Absolutely one of our favorite go-to spots. Highly recommend! 🍎☀️🎶🍻”

“Went to Rays for breakfast which was very good. Got the bill and there is charge for toast. Since when do you get charged for toast with eggs. The waitress should tell her customer that there is a extra charge for toast.”

“My brother who is 83 couldn't find already popped popcorn at the grocery so I thought I would surprise him. I live in Missouri and called KP's in Canandaigua NY to buy and send him some. They politely said they only do events. Then they said they would drop off a couple bags at his house and wouldn't take pay for it. What a great loving company.”

“Great staff and Delicious food consistently.”

“Absolutely delicious homemade food. The corned beef hash was amazing, as well as the homemade white bread they used for toast. I had a hangover plate and it was all fantastic.”

“Had a great lunch there today, real breaded Chicken and killer Waffle fries.”

“My first visit to Murphy’s Law in Canandaigua was wonderful. Cadance was attentive and kept us laughing and entertained. Definitely ask for her. The tater tots were top notch!”

“My husband took me for dinner and ice cream this afternoon after a few errands. I was not able to enter the restaurant, as I have a badly broken foot and I rested in the car. My husband brought out a beautifully made sundae for me!! I would have gone inside and thanked the server, but I just needed to rest. Little did that server know, I will be having surgery in two days, and I have been in so much pain, unable to sleep, and hardly able to eat, from worry. That sundae cheered me up SO much!!!! You never know exactly who is on the receiving end of your work -- but that waiter made our sundaes as though they were a gift or from a fancy restaurant! I was so delighted! Thank you! (My husband said the server was young and had tattoos. Thank you for cheering me up!!)”

“Love the staff and the food is great too 😀”

“great place .great atmosphere great people and great to be around people and have a good time .”

“Outstanding service and delicious sausage sandwiches ice cold beer! Local and community based!! Thank you Joe and staff!🌲”

“June 2025 Update

The pizza and staff are very good and that continued.
No improvements to the interior were made; the same torn shredded carpeting is present with no upgrade.

Previous Visits 2025 and 2024
The pizza is very good and the staff are nice and friendly. The dining rooms would be much nicer if they replaced the old worn-out, torn, stained carpeting. This presents trip hazards for customers. This drags down your dining experience and makes the place look really bad. The mens room door needs a cleaning.”

“Big scoops for a small! Definitely worth the money. Not many gluten free or dairy free options, but they have maybe 3 you can choose from. Will be coming back if im hankering for ice cream!”

“Awesome restaurant- Fantastic food, Friendly staff”

“Would definitely recommend! Stopped while in town for the weekend and was glad we did. Everything was really good, friendly staff and quick service. Mac plate as is with pulled pork... 👍👍 delicious!”

“Of all the typical Chinese food I’ve eaten in the last 10 years (penfield, Webster, Victor etc) this was by far the best local Chinese food I’ve had! Everything was incredibly fresh and well seasoned. The chicken fried rice had real slices of chicken and felt freshly made to order. I never had fried wontons that tasted as fresh and homemade as theirs did! I always order general Tso’s chicken extra spicy, and their’s was nicely sliced and seasoned without compromising flavor or quality. The egg rolls weren’t oily (which I saw someone else say they weren’t and I have to agree) and each item truly was exceptional for your typically priced Asian take out. This has become our new take out spot! We will gladly drive by the other two Asian take out restaurants closest to us to enjoy this family’s cuisine. ☺️. Thank you again!”

“Working with someone like Mrs. Clarice Haynes is a good experience and has predictive results for me every week. I invested my first $1,000 into bitcoin and Mrs. Clarice helped me manage my account to success making $5500 in the first week. It has been an incredible experience from that day on! This wasn't my first time trading but honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I first joined after much loss in the past. God walked me through the entire process from start to fin”

“Good food, great bartenders, pool table.”

“Delicious!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ♥️♥️♥️”

“We were visiting from out of state and stopped in to catch Monday Night Football. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and the service was great. We’ll be back next time we’re in the area.”

“Stopped here for lunch after driving to Canandaigua from Springfield MA. The staff was attentive, the food good, and the atmosphere comfortable. There were plenty of options to choose from. TVs all over with sports on.”

“Celebrated my birthday at Casa de Pasta and it was great. My husband and I enjoyed a drink at the bar, and the bartender was friendly and made a great martini. At our table, our waitress seemed new but was friendly and the service was pleasant. The herbed whipped butter and bread were great. My gnocchi with a meatball was delicious, and my husband enjoyed his seafood fra diavolo. Very nice way to celebrate a birthday date night!”

“Great brewpub on the lake. Nice selection of their beers on tap, and the bartender offered to let us try a sip before committing. Food was unexpectedly great. $3 taco's on Taco Tuesdays is a great deal.”

“The food is decent, but a few items i got, i barely at bc it just wasn't tasting right or texture was off.

Vegetarian options: The sweet sour chicken and the red sauce it cones w were delicious but lacked portion size. I ordered it large and felt it was a small”

“My boyfriend and I decided to try Nick’s for dinner tonight. We were very pleased from the front door service/seating to our waitress Annmarie. She was fantastic at recommending drinks and our main course. The atmosphere had a cool jazz club with the ambiance and music. We highly recommend the prime rib! We will definitely be repeat customers”

“Food was good service was decent. place was deserted. looks as if they get no business. Please support your local businesses before we lose the places we love.”

“the Mexican sundae is out of this world yummy!!!”

“The crew today is so wonderful 😍
Always cheerful and positive!!!! which is very hard in customer service!!! People suck and can be so rude .
Thank you ladys for lifting me up and making me smile!”

“My wife and I love going to the Hive not only for the food, which is always consistently delicious but the friendly and accommodating staff. We also love the customers because it's like being in an episode of "Cheers" (if anyone remembers that show) Everyone Knows Your Name!!! Highly recommended!!!”

“Like a zoo fast service !”

“Was having a really bad day came to Applebee’s just stopped in for a beer and I noticed everybody was smiling And the store was very inviting ! The manager, Jen was amazing. She was down to earth and funny and really helped bring my day up. I wound up eating and had a very good meal With a nice cold beer, but most importantly, it was the atmosphere and the people that made the impact on me. I would suggest this Applebee’s location to anyone. They really did a great job and are very nice people.”
