An old friend put me on to uncle Danny’s about 15 years ago. He said, bro, you gotta try the eggs Chad. It was an instant love affair.
Since then, I’ve been obsessed with various Benedict’s wherever I can find them. From Montreal to Lisbon, I’ve tried maybe 100 Benedict’s at least.
So far, the best one was in Montreal. But that makes sense. The French invented hollandaise. So it makes sense that the Quebequois would master it.
And yet, somehow, some way, a humble spot in Rochester, NY still has the second best hollandaise I’ve ever had over the past 15+ years.
Even cooler, the same server who helped us 15 years ago, and dozens of times after, was the same server who helped us recently. The vibe I enjoyed 15 years ago was the same vibe I experienced recently.
At this point, Uncle Danny’s needs to be revered as a Rochester institution. Similar to the garbage plate. Or zweigles. I wish more people knew about them. But also, they seem to doing just fine.
Allllll that to say, after over a decade, this place still has an absolutely amazing Benedict. And I have to specify, go for the eggs chad version (unless you hate sausage patties).
Nothing but love and admiration on my end. Every time I go back to visit Rochester, I MUST visit uncle Danny’s.

Had a very nice breakfast this morning while I waited for my vehicle to be done across the street. I asked the waitress if ok if I stayed while I waited. She was very kind and courteous. Quick to get me coffee and take my order. My food also came quickly and it was plated very nicely AND it was hot! Love their thick sour dough toast.
The restaurant had a very pleasant atmosphere. Very clean and homey
