Restaurants in Penfield

“The absolute best chicken and waffles! Friendly staff fast service, and the very best chips as an appetizer. An accidental find is the best place to eat in Penfield! Five-star rating for sure!”

“I have worked with Joey’s at weddings a couple times now and they are consistently a pleasure! Fast service, hot food and a friendly staff- what more could you ask for?! This past weekend we worked a wedding where it was pouring rain right during dinner service and the guests experience didn’t suffer at all because the staff knew exactly what to do and kept the food coming. If you’re looking for a food vendor for your wedding or event, please check these guys out - they are a class act!”

“Stopped in today I’ve never been, but I was out that way. Amazing wrap and coffee was so good! Thank you for the friendly service!!!”

“Fabulous food! Great service—every time!”

“Believe the hype! We went to the Penfield location specifically to try the Cuban menu. The restaurant was sparkling clean and the service was excellent. Four of us ordered different Cuban dishes, while my two youngest ordered off the kids menu. The portions were huge - even the fresh fruit side dishes for the kids! Everything was delicious. The whole time, our table was just a chorus of "Mmm!" while reaching over and trying food off of each other's plates. We will definitely be back!”

“We had a table of six, we all enjoyed our food. The portions are generous and the service was excellent!”

“My family and I frequent the Pub and we always have a great experience. Last night was no exception (other than the completely oblivious Tesla owner who's alarm kept going off every 5 minutes obviously outside of anyone's control 🤣) I'd like to spotlight one of your incredible employees. I'm so upset I can't remember their name, as they've served us before and are always so wonderful. Curly blonde hair, kind and radiates curiosity and humility. My husband and I were watching the fireworks on the patio while our kids played over by the tree. A child similar in age to my kids approached them for help as they were lost and had no phone. The kids brought them over to the Patio. Without hesitation our server overheard the situation and jumped in offering their phone so they could call their parent/guardian. After overhearing an intense conversation with the child and their father, this server sensed their distress and offered to walk with them to the intersection where their parent told them to go. I walked in to the restaurant a bit later to use the restroom and overheard the other staff members concerned and discussing the whereabouts of their team member. Genuine concern and understanding after they learned the situation. The fact that this server felt comfortable enough to just up and help a patron speaks to not only her character, but this establishments leadership shadow and this incredible team. Tonight my children learned a lesson in kindness and humanity through the actions of this server, and my heart is full 💓 Thank you again and keep shining bright y'all!!”

“This is the best restaurant in Rochester! Quiet atmosphere but more than family friendly. The food is out of this world and the staff is kind and responsive. We've been going as a family for at least 10 years and they have watched my children grow not only in size but I'm they're willingness to grow their taste buds! We try to go at least once a month but we'd be there every weekend if we could! Reasonable prices for exceptional eats!”

“Beautiful cidery inside and out! The patio is great to enjoy when the weather is nice, and the tasting room is also a great place to be! Excellent ciders and small bites to eat.”

“Service was great and quick, food was delicious…just was unaware they did away with the kid night. Kids dish was still reasonably priced but definitely a bummer in the moment.”

“The is the best Italian restaurant on the East Side!!”

“Absolutely fabulous from the margaritas to the food!! We will be back with friends!!”

“I love the employees here. I had good conversation with one of the managers. However every single time I order on ubereats I don't get pickles on my burger. I only ever want pickles and ketchup and I don't get my pickles consistently. So friendly staff, but where are my pickles?? ?”

“Fantastic food. Great atmosphere, huge menu. Highly recommend!”

“The food was great considering it is Rochester. The food took a bit of time to come out but it was still worth it! The prices are reasonable and the staff was friendly when they were around. The restaurant was dim even though the sun was out. Would definitely go again if I am in there area!”

“quick service. good breakfast.”

“Personally, I enjoyed it. Pizza is pretty much always fresh when you order it. The wings are actually pretty damn good. If you want you can do custom orders. It comes out pretty fast, like 10 minutes at most and the quality of the pizza is pretty good. Comes out hot and ready. Much better than Salvatore's and Little Caesars. Friendly environment is also pretty nice and you know nostalgia

Kid-friendliness: Best place to order if you have a kid who wants pizza

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp”

“The staff Friday at 5 was awesome. Polite, friendly and helpful. My 7 y/o son like to contribute and ordered our pizza. Great service for such a young team. Manager did a great job organizing her team!”

“I’ve always loved Cam’s Pizza—they never disappoint! The staff is incredibly friendly and consistently go above and beyond. During my recent visit, I had the chance to chat with the granddaughter of the original founder, and it was such a great moment to share how many good memories I have of their pizza from growing up in the area. I couldn’t resist grabbing a few extra slices when I saw all the delicious options while picking up my order. Just an all-around fantastic experience, as always!”

“I really really love this place like seriously my only chinese take out the food good fresh owners are sweet and put love into every order you can taste it i hope they see this and know how much I love them haha ps I'm the sub rice for lo mein girl please never close ❤️”

“I can’t speak of the atmosphere as I have not had the opportunity to eat inside. Ever since the pandemic it doesn’t seem like they are open for business to eat inside. However, their food is AMAZING!!!! I’m from San Francisco where the food in China Town is exquisite. Since moving to Penfield I have tried all the local east side Chinese restaurants. None co late to this place. The chicken lo mein is fantastic. The pan fried pot stickers are to die for and definitely try the general tso chicken. It’s not too sweet like most places. I only wish this place delivered!!! I can’t find it available on grub hub, DoorDash or uber eats!!”

“My family of 7 celebrated my daughter's birthday here on Friday, March 4.... a large variety of food choices were ordered by us and everyone was very pleased.Our server was great and very patient; even considering that it was Friday! The staff were happy to help us with the birthday cake and a song, too.? The menu is quite diverse and we all look forward to going back to sample some fish or veal.”

“This was by far the most impressive and pleasant drive-thru experiences we have ever had; literally, we're talking decades here. Just great, happy, well informed individuals who made our morning! Really well done!”

“Just what I needed, an accepting environment with great people & coffee 🌈”

“Right now my go to Chinese. When I feel a bit completely on or even not my go to is a quart of the hot and sour. Normally this gets over what I have. Love the crab Rangoon. 8 pieces of deliciousness with or without the sweet sour sauce. The outside is crispy and inner is gooey goodness. Need to have it fast through if you are getting a takeaway. This time ordered the jumbo shrimp in Szechuan style. I must admit this will not be my favorite dish. The spices didn’t jive with me.”

“I recommend Panera in general but definitely not the Penfield Location. I am currently waiting for a smoothie & I hear them talking about how they shouldn’t have to clean out their blender after making a mango smoothie. I am deathly allergic to mango and the way they are talking about it absolutely horrible. Like yes I want that cleaned out so I don’t die”
