We hadn't been there since the new owner(s) took it over. I was so looking forward to a ground round but we were sitting and waiting for someone to take our order. That didn't happen and we left.
You need to train your employees to be attentive of their surroundings and look out for people that need to place their order especially the older peeps who sit down first and wait for service.
Was able to edit this review today😁

We very much enjoyed the quality of the food over the next door option. The burger was delicious. We will definitely be going back.

Great burger stop down by the shoreline. Lots of nostalgia and great food. I tried the Big Plate (garbage plate). Very filling and great taste, I would get it again. It's a little warm inside in the summertime but they have outdoor seating as well. I keep hearing the breakfast sandwich is great so I will have to try that on the weekend when they offer it!

Horrible service!! No agnoligment at all as we sat there. Slow poke employees. No urgency at all. Did not even care that we got up and left! Wasn't even that busy!!

A Rochester classic. Don’t change anything

Grew up going here as a kid unfortunately it seems like service and quality have gone down quite a bit. Service was slow, burger was cooked wrong, and the burger itself was extremely dry and the hard roll was stale like it had been sitting out. Probably won’t return again.

Everything Alayna touches turns to gold! More than just a burger joint. The new menu offers so many new yummy options, and you can enjoy all the lake feels while there. The updates on the interior/exterior are bright, clean & cheery, along with the welcoming staff! Best breakfast sandwich & they even offer Jamaican Me Crazy for us decaf’ers!

Went for my usual Tuesday burger. Have been doing this for more years than I can remember. I was advised they were closed to clean the grill. Would have been appropriate to post a notice of the new hours. Bill Gray's is right door and they apparently clean their grill when it is convenient for their customers... so bye bye Don, hello Bill!

2 parts:
Strawberry Milk shake: very watery (tastes like watery slushy) leaves a super artificial taste after
Burger: flavorless
Onion rings: ok
