Restaurants in Canandaigua

“A canandaigua hidden gem!”

“Amazing food and coffee! The server was friendly, the dining room is comfortable and cozy. Portion sizes are perfect!”

“Absolutely loved my visit to Working Class Coffee! The breakfast sandwich, seasoned potatoes, and coffee were all delicious — perfectly cooked and flavorful. The service was wonderful too. Derek and the barista were both kind and welcoming, and I really enjoyed chatting with Derek’s dad. I’ll definitely be back!”

“One of the best meals in memory. Everything was delish.”

“my boyfriend and i went here recently and we LOVED IT! they were able to accommodate GF and very flavorful! i got a Dill-icious plate and it was fantastic! the pickle and garlic parm combo was a new experience and not to mention the HEAPING portions of mac salad and chicken tenders. we very much had leftovers at a very cost effective price. the service was quick and friendly. the atmosphere was beyond unique keeping an interactive environment. we will definitely be back!”

“This was the worst. Burger is paper thin and no flavor. Blue cheese burger with Bleu cheese mayonnaise dressing. Brown lettuce. Tasteless. $30, one bite and left.”

“I am a bariatric surgery patient and I have a little card that requests if I can have a smaller portion (be it a senior portion or kids' portion). I gave it to my waitress (Heather) to have her check with the bosses. She came back and told me I could have whatever I wanted on the menu and they would accommodate my request. Heather was an absolute rockstar. She was quick with the meals, and even when she came out to let us know the lasagna was done for the day, you could tell she was worried we were going to complain (even though it wasn't her fault). We just went with the flow and she was great I'm not from the area, but I will definitely make a point to come back!”

“A great local spot that has classic, comfort food! I was there for a girl's trip and we were craving bar food. This place was a Google suggestion and based on the menu alone, we were excited. Their country sweet wings were slap yo mama good 🤌🏾 We also had an excellent waitress that was helpfully honest about some of their food's quality, so we made the best choices. Would absolutely go back!”

“Love the atmosphere. Staff is exceptional, especially Jordan, our waiter. Food was delicious! Had calamari and reuben- yummy! Can't wait to go back.”

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

“Such a classy place - Great drinks , food & prices .”

“Best Pizza around, everything is great !!”

“We had a fabulous experience! We had a large party and were seated promptly according to our reservation. The service was outstanding. Everything was explained well, including daily specials and how the bier flight was placed down. The food was amazing. The vegan schnitzel with spätzel and mushroom gravy was the dish I never knew I needed. I was ever so pleased with it. Everyone enjoyed their food and we will be back. Highly recommended!”

“Loved this place that our friends took us to for the first time! The staff are so friendly, and we loved the food and the diversity of the crowd. We will definitely be back!!!”

“My family and I dined in on a busy Saturday for an early Mothers Day celebration. We have been coming to Nolan's for years (since we are locals) and the food and service NEVER disappoint. But our service with Jasmine was TOP NOTCH! Being in the industry myself for a very long time, people like Jasmine are rare and hard to find and she is a gem! Nolan's is lucky to have her! Service that excellent is extremely rare! Thanks for making our night out the most enjoyable!”

“Breakfast sandwiches are highly recommended with any type of bread offered they are all tasty!! Great environment and great ownership. Love the coffee options all tried have been very good so far!”

“What a gem this place is, nestled in the Bristol mountains in Canandaigua, NY. The food is so delicious! Really, the chef knows what he's doing. Our server was great! Friendly and helpful. You won't regret a visit to this place. Will go back again! Highly recommend this restaurant. 100%”

“I absolutely love flavors restaurant. The food is incredible & the staff is very friendly as well! I drive 45 minutes just to get the chicken makhani with rice and naan bread, so delicious! I highly recommend checking this location out, they have the best Indian food I’ve ever had! Love this place.”

“Great mixture of flavors, place is very clean, and a nice place to enjoy with family.”

“Ordered a custom "Heart" shaped cake based on a photo a co-worker gave me. The cake was INSANE! Beautifully done and MUCH bigger than expected. These ladies do great work and it was a joy to present it to my friend for her birthday. She LOVED it. Thank you!”

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

“Inviting staff. Rich flavorful brews! Staff willing to do some customizing! A new favorite!”

“Thank you for the awesome lunch and your patience while we placed the order today! The person who answered the phone was a rockstar. You guys are awesome! Wraps and subs were A+ 😎”

“Delicious food and great service”

“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.”

“I really enjoyed the Apple Crisp cider. Very light and refreshing. A perfect summer beverage. The pulled pork poutine was also a winner. And of course, great entertainment from Tom Chamberlain. I highly recommend Star Cider.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Tasty and thick hard ice cream, lots of hard and soft serve flavors to choose from ! They also offer cute little doggie dishes with a small amount of vanilla ice cream, peanut butter topping and a dog biscuit. My pup doesn’t often get “people snacks” but this was a very nice spot to break that rule!”

“Delicious ice cream! We love coming here!”

“Great place! Staff was friendly, fun and engaged. Pizza absolutely fantastic. I had a girls weekend and we ended up at coho every day.”

“We were seated immediately. Staff is very friendly. Food was excellent!”

“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!”

“Cool venue. Great drinks!”

“always hot and delicious, great service and margaritas. The best Mexican food around here.”

“Come to find out the son has been overcharging me for my 16 oz frappuccino's. So, I feel he owes me 2 free frappe's. Food I know nothing about. Mocha frappuccinos I like but they need to be a little bit thicker. The whip cream I stopped getting because it's not worth $0.50.”

“Great lil place! We will be back again!”

“I absolutely loved this place!! Currently in town from a few hours away and after my pre op appointment I just wanted to go all out today. Decided to NOT read the reviews of this place and just go off the pictures they have posted. Upon entering we were greeted by this sweet little man who got us drinks and menus. Our server was super sweet and others walking around checked on us as well 10/10 so happy I chose here for breakfast! My boyfriend is a garbage disposal and he couldn’t even finish his breakfast! lol”

“Great staff, fair pricing, and arguably the best pizza around! Love everything about their pizza! 🍕”

“Nice atmosphere, friendly bartenders, extensive drink selections and reasonable prices! Pleasantly surprised and a great new addition to Canandaigua!”

“Outstanding food and service. we will def be back”

“Great staff and Delicious food consistently.”

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

“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!!)”

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

“Best brew in the Finger Lakes”

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

“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!”

“Great atmosphere, Great food,Great people...”

“Staff is very helpful, management is understanding with requests. We love the food, atmosphere, and tasty desserts. A great place!”

“I've been a customer of Nick's for years. The ambiance, food, service, and drinks are always impeccable.”

“I have been on the hunt for mexican birria tacos for a few weeks now. I saw this place was in town and had them but unfortunately when we ordered, the birria tacos had previously been taken off the menu, which is understandable. This restaurant is run out of Star Cider, which is a bar you walk up to and order. My partner and I went when it was a bit busy. There is a lack of a line or stationary cash register to order at, and this seems to get confusing for the person taking orders at the bar, rightfully so. All of the staff members were very friendly and efficient, and the food is fairly priced; $40 for an appetizer, 2 entrees, and a dessert. We waited about 10 minutes for our food, while two toddlers were running around the restaurant screaming, rolling around on the floor, and climbing all over tables. Obviously this wasn't Star Cider's fault, and i'm sure the employees aren't allowed to intervene, but why allow little babies to run around like this at a bar for adults? The interior of this place is one big open room, full of stone and metal, so all sounds are amplified, including the metal chairs that scrape on the floor. After taking all of this in, we decided to take our food to go. Once we got home and ate it, oh my goodness. BEST mexican food i've ever had. I won't be returning to dine in- however, I will 100% be getting food from Nenos again.”

“Food is always hot, fresh and cooked perfectly. My boyfriend and I have tried several different dishes and they have all been wonderful. Best Chinese food in Canandaigua.”

“Delicious!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ♥️♥️♥️”

“Good food, great bartenders, pool table.”

“Awesome restaurant- Fantastic food, Friendly staff”

“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!”

“This little gem is a family friendly place with a wonderful staff of friendly people. Ordered the Rueben, Turkey Rueben, Mahi Rueben, and a Cubano. The taste test was on . The sandwiches were all amazing with mouth watering juicy and delicious flavors. I can not offer the best because I highly recommend trying them all !!!”

“I made a small food order to feed our video production crew for the live coverage of HS Football. I was expecting 15 pre package meals with 1 meat and 2 sides. When I showed up to collect our food I was completely shocked and amazed that it was a variety of pulled pork, ribs, brisket, cole slaw, mac and cheese, and corn bread. Every pan was absolutely amazing, and every crew member enjoyed this meal. It was by far the best meal we had all football season. Some of the best BBQ the region has to offer, call them, you will be amazed. Job well done FLX BBQ Company”

“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”

“They have a friendly staff and the food was good plus my drink tasted great, unfortunately they do not always have the item you might be wanting in stock but they are a really good Starbucks location!”

“Great stop to grab a quick lunch or breakfast. They have an huge variety of drinks way more than Dunkin. I will be stopping in more often ? I recommend Tim Hortons to everyone.”

“Food was great, ordered 12 wings for $15! Can’t beat that price! The sauces were unique, did a split order of mustard bbq and country sweet cajun. The bartender was a standard dive bar bartender but he was polite and that is worth something these days! Atmosphere is a dive bar. No frills, kinda grimy, but if you want good food cheap I would give this place a try! I did go during lunch time so I’m not sure what the evening would bring as far as patrons. When we went there were regulars but the place wasn’t over flowing. Low expectations never disappoint!”

“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.”

“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.”

“HAD A GREAT FISH FRY ON FRRIDAY”

“Our waiter was awesome, it was my youngest birthday,and he brought out cake, and didn't bring attention as my son's on spectrum and gets embarrassed easily. Food came out fast, and we stayed for a bit after eating as I don't get to see my daughter and her husband much due to living hrs away. So it was nice they didn't rush us out.”

“Was there today 3/5/23. Ordered correctly, order placed, after long wait no food, then when asked it was brought in approx.10 minutes, requested. Order still wasn't completed,ask for charge off bill. This was done. I no this place is understaffed and I can't understand why, this is close to our college, Don't students need money? A part time place. There is a waitress that works in late afternoon. Nicki,she knows how to deal with the customer. She has the best attitude and very efficient in her position. She would be a great person to train others. So we will go back soon, but it will be after 5 pm. She works evening shift. Everything runs smooth when she is working. I do not no her personaly, met her thru dinning at Denny's. Great Employee.”
