Burger Restaurants near Penfield

“I have only been to your location twice but I've been impressed both times. Everyone is busting their hump to get everything out quickly and the food is great!! You were very busy both occasions but I didn't wait. Great friendly staff and extremely hot food. Very impressed.“

“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.“

“Hey, it's a McDonald's; they are what they are. However, this one is one step above most. What sticks out the most is the service. The staff is competent, friendly, and very responsive unlike many MacDees locations where you wonder if the people who work there are even alive. On several occasions I've spoken to managers at this location mentioning how much I like the service their workers provide compared to other locations. Sure, they can mess up once in a while when they are very busy but what do you expect? They are not perfect yet they work very hard to make their customers happy, again unlike many other locations I have visited. The food is good and the staff is competent and friendly. What more can you expect from fast food? One other thing of note: getting in and out of their location can be a bit tricky due to the configuration of their drive thru and drivers not understanding how to properly use it.“

“Came for the best burger in roc, but please bring back the hard roll 🤞“

“I’ll preface this by saying that I’ve had garbage plates from Dogtown & Nick’s (the OG). I got a half-plate, which was still a huge portion weighing probably four pounds, with mac’n’homefries and cheeseburger topped with the cinnamon (mild but tasty) meat sauce and “a little bit” of onions, mustard, and ketchup. This was BY FAR the most delicious garbage plate I’ve ever had. I will ABSOLUTELY be coming back here. And it’s less than a 10-minute, quick’n’easy drive from Rochester General Hospital (so skip the Wolfgang Puck despite the convenience). I will add that the young woman who took my order was kind and friendly. The meal “to-go” was ready in less than 4 minutes. And the food was delicious, not at all greasy—literally PERFECT“

“We dined for the first time last night and it was fantastic! The wings were large, crispy and very flavorful. We tried a few different sauces and loved each one. We also ordered their pizza special and it was also really good. Helpful, friendly staff and a fantastic view of the river. We will definitely be back.“

“This was our first time trying The Gate House and we were impressed! We came on a Thursday afternoon with no reservation and were seated right away. Our server was prompt and attentive immediately and continued through the duration of our meal. We tried the Xerox pizza as well as the Duffy burger and both were 10/10! Absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend!“

“Moo’d Burger Bar is an amazing spot! Each burger my group got was phenomenal. I got the 585 burger which I would highly recommend if you like garbage plates. The garlic fries as a choice of side was a good addition to the meal as well. After our meal we had to get dessert since that is what this place is truly known for and it definitely did not disappoint! Their ice cream desserts are second to none in the area and I would go again just for that.“

“We always try to go to Tom Wahls when passing thru the Rochester area, even going out of our way a little we make a point to go atleast once or twice a year. I have been to a few other locations over the decades, and always found them clean, organized and a friendly staff. First time at this location did not quite live up to the standards of the others had set, but to be fair I think we just came at a bad time. It was loud and chaotic when we came in with several messy tables. The cashier seemed impatient with us and to not be paying attention as we kept having to repeat our order as he stared off to the side unsure we were heard (just 2 people getting a burger frie and drinks nothing crazy. My burger had an insane amount of mayo, not sure what happened there but it was almost a comical amount on both sides, easy to scrape some off and still enjoy the burger. My spouce really enjoyed his mushroom burger.

I do have to give them some credit as there was a group from a baseball team leaving as we parked and when we came in a dozen todlers with only two adults for supervision who didn't seem to have any control of them running around by the order counter and dineing room and that is clearly not the staffs fault and was probably very overwhelming for the staff also and it wouldn't be fair to judge under those circumstances, service industry can be unpredictable and overwhelming.

If your thinking of checking out this location know there may be loud messy kids there but its worth it because Wahls has really great unique burgers, the best creemy rootbeer and a fun retro vibe....and mabey order your mayo on the side. I wish there were a location closer to Buffalo.“

“We make several trips to Tom Wahl’s during the year. Best burgers and fish fry. We have a family tradition of many years to go there on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas to all at Tom Wahls!“

“We really like going there now. New owners have really done a great job! Tried the bacon, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich this morning for the 1st time & it was delicious 😋 We'll be back for those again!“

“Every time you come home, have to go to Bill Grays“

“awesome food and fresh rite off the grill. love the root beer 🥰🥰🥰“

“Ordered beef and cheese empanadas, jerk empanadas, shrimp fried rice, and baked and stoned mac and cheese. Absolutely delicious, filling, fresh comfort food“

“Definitely will be going back. Great staff, good food, and a great dining experience.“

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

“The menu never disappoints. Creative and fresh. The dishes are inspiring and delicious.“

“Reunion of a few hockey players from the 1970's for lunch today . Our waitress was Molly and she was (Johnny on the Spot) from ordering to getting refills on our drinks . We were very pleased with the Tenders , French Onion soup and the Burgers ! Even the popcorn was great . The $11.99 lunch menu was perfect . Molly was one step ahead of us whatever we needed and it cost us about HALF of what we paid at Distillery on our previous lunch .

Parking: Lots of parking“

“We stopped in last night everyone was so welcoming and nice and the food was great!!! It was hot and fresh and soooo good!! 10 out of 10 for us 😋“

“Great food, John was a great bartender. Thanks for a great day on this gloomy winter day.“

“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“

“Extremely delicious burgers and chicken sandwiches. Despite being basic crinkle cut, the fries were surprisingly good, too. Unfortunately, the pricing is out of range for what many would expect (>$20 per person), and as a result, I can't justify going here on more than just a rare occasion.

Edit: since writing this review, Shake Shack has came out with many promotion codes that can be used to either order on the app or the in-store Kiosks. Definitely helps with the affordability.“

“I want to praise your Saturday night crew 8/3/24. They were awesome with me. I couldn't figure out how to use my app since I just give my phone number when I come in. All the boys came over to help when I went back up to the counter to ask about my points. To my surprise I have a few things coming that I didn't know I had. Well, I had to get my chocolate almond custard after we ate. Thank you for the amazing kids you have on your staff.“

“We went here for a date night and could not have chosen a better place! The food was absolutely amazing and the staff was attentive but not too much so. We will definitely be back!“

“I only counted 4 guys... but the food was great!“

“Best Bill Gray's meal I have ever had...service a little slow but the burger and fries were hot,hot,hot!“

“We've gathered there with friends on two occasions recently. Both times the waitress was very attentive and accommodating - separate checks were no problem at all. We reserved tables ahead of time. Live music was great & the guys could watch the football game while we all chatted! Great selection of beer and wine!! A fun gathering place! We'll def be back!!“

“I work here and try to provide the best service and love my job!“

“Today we had a problem with a takeout order at Flaherty's. The order we picked up was inaccurate. We called and the person who answered said to come back in a few minutes. When we returned we were greeted by the manager who offered his apologies for the mishap and offered to give us a free meal for our inconvenience. In summation: A problem resolved! Thank you Flaherty's, see you soon!“

“Absolutely delicious breakfast - beautiful, fresh and so so tasty! Service was fantastic - will definitely return!!“

“Bill Gray's is legendary and there food still proves it after all these years. I was at one of ther locations during my early military service and the food quality, wasteland customer friendly environment is outstanding. Im from buffalo and this place is worth the travel. The manager even spoke to us about our experience and encouraged an awesome desert. We'll done bill Gray's well done. Also your garbage plate should be sold everywhere.“

“I am so impressed and appreciative of the honest employees and patrons of this establishment....I left my purse on a counter and a graciously kind patron turned it in and the employees kept it safe for me to retrieve....this says a lot about the integrity of this service and it's community! By the way, we had a lovely meal in a pleasant atmosphere too! Just wanted you to know...“

“They care about making their customers happy here. We had a lot of fun and the food was awesome!!“

“Impossible Whopper is very good; better than any other non-meat burger we’ve had. This BK location is very clean and well kept!“

“The best vegan pizza and fried dough! And friendly service. Can't wait to go back!“

“great burger reasonable prices“

“Five Guys always has good food. We grabbed a burgers and fries, and a shake to take back to the hotel room. We were there right before closing, so I'm not sure if that's why they gave us such a enormous amount of French fries, but they gave us about three large cups full in the bag. Far too much for us to eat, so we made the front desk clerk very happy and gave her a 3rd of them.
I haven't eaten at Five Guys in quite a while, but the burger was just as expected, the fries were good, as well the shake, but it was insanely expensive. Like $27 for one burger, a large fries, and a shake. It may be normal for five guys, but it was sticker shock for me.“

“A "neighborhood bar and grill" with much better food, drinks, and service. I've been there over a hundred times and love the consistency in the experience. The dining room is separate from the bar area if you want a quieter environment, but there are also tables in the bar area and outside. It's also great for take-out - the online ordering is a little flaky (hint: check out as guest and don't try to make an account) but you can always call your order in as well.

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids“

“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.“

“I took my kids to Five Guys for the first time while we were out back-to-school shopping, and I have to say, the experience was incredible! From the moment we walked in, the energy in the place was amazing. Kim, Tab, and Jam were running the show, and they made the whole visit so much fun. They were upbeat, friendly, and even helped us pick out a peanut butter bacon shake—which turned out to be absolutely delicious!

The food was fresh, hot, and flavorful, and my kids left talking about how much they loved it. It’s not every day you find staff who make you feel so welcome while also delivering such great service. Huge shoutout to Kim, Tab, and Jam for turning our first visit into such a memorable one. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Fairport Hots is amazing! I hired them for my daughter's grad party and they were so delicious, efficient, and wonderful to deal with. We have zero complaints. Will hire them again.“

“Little Venice has always been my go to pizza joint in Rochester. Today there was a mistake on the pizza I ordered (i ordered the wrong toppings) but I spoke to the guys and they helped sort things out, getting me the right pie and the original.

Their pizza is delicious and as someone from the city, it is some of the closest pizza to reminding me of home.“

“Can never finish the omelettes from there too big good food though“

“The waiter was very attentive an handled our needs quickly he even got a pup cup for my service Animal which is rare unfortunately I forgot his name an he was far to busy to try to get it before we left but the food was great an cooked correct we ordered the ribs with loaded potatoes an extra sides of broccoli an loaded mac an cheese“

“SO happy we chose VRock for our little function. I really love the renovations they have made! It is beautiful in there. Perfect for fun or sexy get togethers. And the staff; SO NICE. We had two bartenders and they were very attentive, pleasant, and quite funny. I have not had a chance to try the food yet, but I definitely plan to visit again soon.“
