Great food excellent service. Super affordable. Not just a place to eat its how I eat. Without this place I could not afford to eat out!

I had the Julianne salad. It was huge! And the lettuce was crisp, and all the vegetables were fresh. Very tasty!

A nice Brunch place. And! Close to the Rochester Airport. How I found out, I asked Richard at the Visitors section of the Airport. Thanks for that. It is 2 or so minutes away out of the airport. A perfect place to get a bite to eat. Staff was friendly and accurate.Food Looked, smelled and tasted good. (see pix) The burger -ok-is just a burger but it was cooked properly. The roast beef with gravy looked yummy and I am told it was good. I had the eggs and hash browns, a standard filling brunch. I'd go back when I was in the area.

I wanted a big breakfast so I ordered the classic with a side of bacon and french toast. I also wanted decaf and o.j. It's funny because I drove past this place for years on my way to and from an old job and never have been inside. The breakfast is great, good atmosphere and I ate everything, when I got to the french toast, I literally said OMG! It melted in my mouth and was so good. Not sure what bread they use or batter but listen it's the best french toast that I've had. I asked for whipped cream. Nice little hidden gem. I will be back. They were pretty busy and I arrived late morning. Thanks for a great breakfast! ? the ladies there are very polite. I didn't look my best today and they treated me with kindness. Everyone was treated the same. If you haven't yet done so, please stop by to enjoy a meal.

10/15/22 - @ 3:00 pmFirst time at Mr. Theo's Restaurant, after driving by daily for months. Located directly across the street from the Rochester airport. I was underwhelmed. REALLY underwhelmed. Ordered the Rueben Burger and fries. Burger was thin and had absolutely no flavor. Zero. Clearly a cheap patty from a box - $10.99. The sauerkraut had zero flavor as well. It tasted old. It looked old. I have no idea why my server asked me how I wanted it cooked. One minute on each side and it's well done. Yeah - it was that thin. Thank God for the Thousand Island dressing. Because of the dressing to dip each bite, I was able to get it down. I don't complain at restaurants because I know many are struggling. But come on folks. A burger? It was paper thin and I could taste the fillers. Side note: while my server was nice, she clearly has no idea that the entire dining room can hear her complain about the Grub Hub or Door Dash orders coming in. Non. Stop. Complaining. That divider isn't a sound proof wall. None of the THREE orders that came in were ready for the delivery drivers. That cost the drivers money - to sit there for 15 minutes. Then they have to hear her complain about the order coming in. Dear server: delivery orders mean money. Money to run the business. The business that you work at. The business that pays you. THEN her stapler wasn't working (as my Server was trying to staple two receipts together). Dear Lord - WHO CARES!!! She went on to let us all know that her stapler wasn't working. As I was leaving, approximately 8 people came in (cha ching). I'm sure she's in there losing her mind right now. This is the first server I e er experienced that didn't want customers. I see cash when I see customers and delivery service orders. Cash to pay the bills. She sees an annoyance. Then get a job at Walmart cashing people out. They're hiring. Last bit of advice: update the menu from 1972. The photos do more harm than good. You don't need photos. You're a diner. People know what diner food looks like. Make the menu fresh and easy to read. Your menu is as heavy as a boat anchor. I won't be back. This was way too stressful.

Delicious pasta dishes and their salads are the best I've had in ages ? friendly atmosphere and staff!

If I could I'd give minus stars. The food was cold and the breakfast sandwich was missing the eggs. They brought a plate with eggs for me to put on but the eggs were undercooked and looked awful. They cooked the turkey with ham and it reeked of ham so I couldn't eat at all. The grits were cold so overall it was a disaster. I wouldn't recommend to anyone. ?????

They have the best Eggs Benidict I've ever had. The staff was great, the prices are reasonable and the servings are huge.

This is my go to diner for breakfast. They have many good breakfast deals, but I typically get the mushroom Swiss omelette. All of their omelets are large and made very well. I also usually get a side of breakfast sausage which is appears to be made in house, it's delicious. They offer alcoholic beverages and also serve lunch and dinner.

I'm staying at the hotel next door so I figured I'd try this place and it's really good. Decent price as well (24 dollars for both pictured)

This is the place to pull over! Highly recommend the chicken souvlaki melt, on delicious sourdough bread…yes- upgrade and get the flowering onion!Friendly service, extensive menu!

The best Philly Cheese steak I’ve had. The waitresses were friendly and attentive to our needs. The menu is heavy on all kinds of sandwiches, although plates are offered as.I definitely recommend this restaurant especially at lunchtime.
