“Just took our 97 yo mom for her birthday. Neglected to get our servers name, had cute southern accent. She was so super sweet to mom, and great to all of us. Her anticipation was spot on. Made mom feel special with a surprise birthday cake slice, all dolled up. Thank you Fireside.“

“Excellent food quality and so flavorful!“

“LOVED THE FOOD!! So good and the atmosphere is amazing! Such great service“

“Rooney’s hosted my colleagues and I today for an amazing dinner. It was mine, and many others first time at Rooney’s and all said the same thing- WE WILL BE BACK. The food was delicious, service amazing, and ambiance was quiet, chic, and moody.“

“Service was phenomenal! Everything is homemade including drinks and is so delicious!“

“What an absolute gem! 💎 the best food (tapas) and wine selections in the area. They offer local to international wines, and the food is made to order and cooked to perfection! We’ve been twice and are going back with friends to share the experience. Our first time was taking our daughter there before she moved to Spain 🇪🇸 and again for our anniversary 🍾🥂. The shaved asparagus salad, grilled octopus, duck, corn dog and chicken shawarma were all excellent! I can’t wait to go back to try more!“

“Outstanding dinner, the salmon and filet were both perfect! The spinach fritters should be an appetizer if they were so delicious!“

“Vibes with flavors, more than food“

“First time here and overall it was a positive experience. It's not a huge space so when it gets busy like it was on our visit people tend to wait outdoors or crowd the entrance. There are 2 chairs to wait at and a bench outside. If you're rude you hang around the register so people have a hard time paying their check and struggle to leave. That's probably the biggest issue. They'd be better off removing the booth closest to the door/register to make more space for patrons to wait. The couple that were seated there were subjected to idiots standing basically right on top of them waiting ro be seated. Moving on, the menu is large and has some new twists on classics. Do you like eggs Benedict, give this place a try. Our waitress was great, attentive and hustling but not rude. Staff were communicating with each other about clearing tables, announcing which tables were available and helping each other. We did wait almost 20 minutes before we got our food but they were packed. The food was very good, not great but worth coming back. Prices were very reasonable for today's standards.“

“A++ all around, staff knows what they are doing“

“what a lovely Sunday brunch! wonderful food. crispy chicken with fabulous fries, cream of mushroom soup, cinnamon raisin French toast with real butter and maple syrup, plus pastrami hash. wonderful service from liza, cheerful. a perfect meal. thank you!!!“

“My mom and I had a great experience- food, drinks and staff! My mom had the chicken BST quesadilla, full of flavor! She also enjoyed their Mule Tide drink special! I loved The Phoenix naan bread pizza, perfect size for one person and good balance of sweet from the honey and little kick of the soppressata! Their Livin Lav cocktail was very refreshing and the color is fun! Couldn’t resist dessert and the red velvet in a jar was the perfect ending to our meal! Staff was very attentive and friendly! We will be returning for sure!!“

“Great breakfast and fantastic service.“

“Stepping through the doors of TK's I felt as though I had wandered into a dream—one where candlelight glows like captured starlight and the air itself seems perfumed with possibility. Yet even in a place so artfully enchanted, nothing could have prepared me for the poutine that arrived before me like a revelation on porcelain. This was not merely poutine. This was a culinary sonnet, a whisper from the gastronomic heavens. A dish so sublime it felt almost mischievous to call it by its familiar name. The Wisconsin cheese curds announced themselves with unapologetic pride. You could taste their birthplace—lush dairy fields, cows humming contentedly, the whole pastoral romance. Each curd held its integrity just long enough to declare, “Yes, I am from Wisconsin,” before surrendering into a gentle, buttery melt that can only be described as perfection liquefied. They didn’t just melt—they blossomed across the warm potatoes in creamy, celestial ribbons. And then there was the demi-glace. Oh, the demi-glace. Calling it a “half” anything feels adorably modest. This sauce was appropriately named only because it is indeed better than half of a glace—it may be better than all of them. A rich, velvety pool of umami velvet, it cascaded over the fries with the elegance of a silk gown in motion. Deep, complex, and infinitely comforting, it managed to be both bold and tender at once, like a secret told in a familiar voice. And what of the phrase “better than Canada”? Risky, perhaps. Blasphemous to some. But after a forkful of this poutine—this enchanted mosaic of potato, curd, and demi-decadence—I found myself whispering it involuntarily. Not out of disrespect for our northern culinary champions, but because sometimes a creation transcends borders and loyalties altogether. This poutine is not better than Canada because it compares itself— It is better because it dares not. It simply is. In short, the dish is a masterpiece. A warm, glowing, cheese-laden love letter to indulgence itself. If a restaurant can be judged by its poutine, then TK's is nothing short of the north star of flavorful delirium. The view of the falls isn't demi bad either.“

“so good!!! have ordered from here twice and the food has been amazing. the b.o.b burger is by far the best burger ive ever had and the salad is fresh and topped with a lot! so excited to try new things.“

“Amazing food and even better service. The bar manager was so kind and attentive and made our whole experience that much better. && She makes the BEST mocktails!!! We will definitely be back!“

“We recently had a surprise 40th birthday celebration for my daughter. There were 14 guests. We had brunch on a Sunday. Everything was wonderful. The General Manager, Webster was great to work with. He was very professional as well as personable. The staff was amazing. Very polite & we had exceptional service. The food was delicious. Everyone was very pleased with what they had. We would highly recommend the Brown Hound.“

“always great...!! been coming here for near 50 years 🙂“

“Grew up in Rochester and this is was a really good, classic garbage plate. Add a bit more seasoning the mac salad and it would be 10/10“

“Food, atmosphere, server very good! Bruce picture of mimosas is where it's at. My only reason it's not 5 stars is that we had a weird miscommunication with he server. 2 people at the table asked for a side of churros and the other had chicken and churro entree. The server came over and said that they can't do the churros and so the person with the chicken and churros ordered side of fries instead and they 2 others with the sides of churros asked for sides of bacon instead. Fast forward, all of us got our entress instead of 1 person. They waited 15 minutes longer than everyone else. Then all of a sudden 3 sides of churros came out. The server said ok the kitchen is trying these. So now at this point everyone had their replacement sides and now 3 sides of churros. We assumed they "were testing them" since that's what the server said and they would be on the house since now that's too much food. But when we got the bill we were charged for the curros and the other sides. It was just confusing overall with the communication on that and then also we got charged for sides and the cjurros when we wanted 1 or the other not both. The manager, which I think is the owner was very nice and they comped the churros. It sounded like the server told them that we didn't like the churros, but it was more of the principle of being charged. Would definitely go back, I would never hold a miscommunication against a restaurant, but just wanted to voice a few things. Overall cool new spot“

“Went in with my family for the first time since the new owners opened in December 2024, amazing food & drinks! had an amazing experience with our waitress Nicole! she was so friendly and helpful! she recommended the artichoke & broccoli french appetizer & the brussel sprouts, she was spot on wen she said “it’s the best french sauce you will have” , the brussel sprouts, OMG! absolutely amazing! they were cooked and seasoned perfectly! We also ordered wings & she recommended the Sweet Heat BBQ for the sauce , & it is the perfect mix of heat & sweet ! Cocktails & Mocktails were delicious! Nicole gave us an amazing dining experience! We cannot wait to go back & try the smash burgers & fish fry’s! We will definitely be asking for Nicole as our waitress!!“

“Too expensive in the food's not as good as it used to be“

“My server Christine was absolutely amazing and attentive throughout my experience, I was impressed with her professionalism and good energy, so much so that it enraged me when I overheard the bartender, Mischa yelled across the bar at Christine to “pay attention to the door” where she looked away for a millisecond. As someone who has worked in restaurants for over 10 years I felt the tension in the employees interactions the moment I walked in and didn’t understand why until I heard Mischa being disrespectful to Christine. I took the time to ask him to come over and I expressed my concerns and he claimed he would apologize however I highly doubt that he will“

“The atmosphere and food is so good. Excellent service and wonderful dining experience all around.“

“My boyfriend and I had decided to do a lunch date here today. It was our first time. It was a great experience, the food was great, with good prices. The atmosphere was nice and calm, and the restaurant clean. The server was friendly and made us feel welcome (I do not remember her name but it was a blonde woman) We will definitely be back!“

“Been getting garbage plates from here since I was a kid. I always get the cheeseburger plate with all Mac salad. It’s been about 2 years since the last. Can’t wait to come back and get another plate in June!“

“Ate here while visiting family in the area. Service was excellent and the food was great. I ordered the Cajun catfish with Harlem potato salad and coleslaw as my choice of sides. A server brought us a plate of BBQ samples to try. Everything was good. On-street parking available plus a nearby parking ramp (for a fee). The place was noisy but had a great vibe.“

“Attended food truck Tuesday in Larkin Square…got the caprese Mac and cheese…..phenomenal! Fast friendly service!“

“Late-Night Gem: Hungry in Pittsford, NY

After 9:30 PM, finding a spot for a quick and delicious bite can feel like a challenge, but Hungry in Pittsford delivered beyond expectations. I ordered their Hungry Wrap, Italian Sausage, and Platter Combo, and they whipped everything up in no time!

The Platter Combo was a crispy, indulgent medley of fried treats, cooked to perfection and paired with tangy sauces. The Hungry Wrap was a cheesy, flavorful delight—each bite was a symphony of fresh ingredients and bold seasonings. The Italian Sausage was packed with hearty flavors, perfectly balanced by caramelized onions and peppers in a soft, crusty roll.

Every dish was freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. Hungry not only nailed the taste but also the speed—an ideal spot for late-night cravings. If you’re ever in Pittsford and need a quick yet satisfying meal, don’t miss this place.“

“Walk-in, counter service Jamaican restaurant. I ordered a medium Curry Chicken with rice / peas / cabbage as well as a beef patty.

Everything was delicious and tasted homemade. The rice / peas was a standout and paired perfectly with the curry chicken and cabbage. Beef patty had mild spice and very flaky dough.

Island Buzz will definitely be in the lunch rotation moving forward!“

“Ate here on Sunday. Had the Build your Own Burger added cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato, it was cooked perfectly. I also had a Basket of Onion Rings, they were delivered hot, and very crunchy. The best onion rings I’ve had in Rochester.“

“All you can eat, allergy accommodating dining hall that puts it's students first. The staff is really welcoming and always says hello. You can get everything including pasta, the wok station, salad, fruit, soup, burgers and fries, sandwiches, desserts, ice cream, fresh bagels and English muffins, and whatever the hot entree's of the day are. Lackmann is always trying to find new and exciting things for students and loves getting feedback. Overall, a fantastic dining hall on campus!“

“Our bartender Sarah was wonderful! Possibly even better?? Our desert. We had the flourless chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it was the best desert I’ve had in quite some time. The dessert paired with a manhattan for myself and the Hugo spritz for my wife were great. We loved it! Be back soon“

“Long overdue - needed to get some plates to go - road trip to Syracuse AND the owners (husband and wife) packed everything the way I needed it to go in a cooler. Warmed it all up 7 hours later and the plates were perfect! Portions are huge, taste is fantastic! Grateful customer since the mid 90’s.“

“Service was outstanding. Food was hot and delicious. Our server Christine was the best. We will be back cause the breakfast looked wonderful. So happy we found this pleasant place to dine. Linda, Spike, and Sandy.“

“Visited from out of state and was told I needed to try a plate. Quite the culinary experience! I’ll definitely be back again when I’m in the area.“

“Super friendly staff with amazing food. I appreciated the diverse menu and had the smash burger. It was PERFECT. I wish I lived closer because I’d eat my way through the menu and The Old Stone Tavern would be a regular spot. If you’re a local that hasn’t discovered this gem, run, don’t walk. If you’re just passing through Rochester and want to try a local place with amazing eats, find the nearest exit.“
