“Ate here while visiting family in the area. Service was excellent and the food was great. I ordered the Cajun catfish with Harlem potato salad and coleslaw as my choice of sides. A server brought us a plate of BBQ samples to try. Everything was good. On-street parking available plus a nearby parking ramp (for a fee). The place was noisy but had a great vibe.“

“We drive 45 minutes for dinner every couple of weeks or as often as we can and it’s always worth it. There’s nothing bad on the menu. The wings are our favorite, the chicken salad is my 7 year old daughter’s go to. the subs, the cheeseburger plates, the pizza, all the condiments and sauces-just try it all. Do not forget the chocolate chip cookies either!“

“I had never heard of this place and saw a Facebook ad today and decided to try it, best decision! I got the vegan Mac n cheese and tofu lunch special and a slice of the vegan black currant cake, everything tastes amazing.

I would highly recommend!“

I cannot say good enough things about this place. The servers are great, the food is delicious every single time, and the restaurant is cute/cozy. You get what you pay for and more, portions are huge.“

“service five stars food five stars my only compliant is 8.00 for a blue“

“Visited Strangebird today. And the atmosphere is great! Full service bar. Or tables available for larger groups. The food amazing. Our bartender Dee was epic!! Had the smoked pork sandwich with coleslaw on it. A phenomenal pairing Tried the bbq spaghetti which nearly blew me outta my seat!!! The bbq sauce was epic! @strangebird you need to shrink the size of the bbq spaghetti to a fries size and server them with the handhelds in place of French fries with that bbq sauce. Cuz heck yes! That bbq sauce on the side as a dipper 🤩🤩🤩. Great job to the staff. Bigger vehicles might wanna park on the street. If it’s busy, the parking lot is very narrow.“

“10/10 recommend! Had the best time with our kids this afternoon. Food, games, fun drinks. Everything was amazing! Thanks for a great Saturday afternoon 🙌🏻“

“My girlfriends and I love going to Original Steve's Diner in Victor. The restaurant has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. You can tell the staff really loves their jobs and they give excellent attention and service to patrons. The owner John and his wife Elizabeth have truly mastered the art of upscale diner cuisine. Although many people love the ultra delicious pancakes, I was ecstatic when they added crepes. The cheesecake crepes with berries paired with a side of bacon are the perfect pairing of sweet and savory. I will definitely be a regular customer.“

“Three of us just finished dinner at Sinbads and it was marvelous! We had a pasta dish, a salad platter and a pizza and they were all equally delicious. The service was excellent as well. We look forward to returning, especially during warmer weather.“

“My favorite date night spot“

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

“Went in for dinner tonight for the first time and it was INCREDIBLE! A wide variety of drinks and food! Staff was attentive and friendly. They answered any questions we had about the menu. Even though it’s not sit down service the staff still brought us extra plates when needed and offered cups of water which was nice! Food came out fresh and hot! We will return again for more!! :)“

“Excellent food! Highly recommend! Fast & friendly service. A great little gem for pho & noodles.“

“Happy Gut Sanctuary is a relaxing space to gather with friends or have a relaxing moment to yourself. The vibes are impeccable. The staff is friendly, caring, and attentive. The beverages are to die for—and you can even do a little shopping on top of all of that! Highly recommend—there is something for everyone !“

“Amazing food! Amazing staff! They’re willing to tell you everything about a dish if you’re curious. And sweet tamarin sauce should just be on everything you ever eat!“

“Service and food were fantastic. The food was delicious and full of flavor. Every bit of meat was tender and the vegetable spring rolls were light and crispy. Absolutely will be back!!“

“Excellent food! Highly recommend! Fast & friendly service. A great little gem for pho & noodles.“

“I don’t have a lot of experience with Ethiopian food but I’m about to be a regular. Everything I tried was delicious, it was cozy and peaceful and welcoming inside, and service was quick and friendly. I apologize to every lentil I’ve dismissed, I didn’t know they could taste like this.“

“It was apparent that the new owner Vickie wants to change the whole vibe and not for the better. She could care less about accomadting you with options & if you have any food allergies. I do not recommend Nosh, not the same restaurant and feel its a turn for the worst. One out of the four meals one was acceptable we had 12/14/2023.The waitress very sweet but felt she was as frustrated as we were. Vickie the owner made no effort to accommodate us and was almost rude.I will pass this along, is a small coummiity in Rochester. Any postive reviews you read are prior to Vickie taking over restuarant.“

“Highly recommend. Great neighborhood “local” tavern. Excellent Beer list. Great food, large portions. Goes on the Official BeerRanger Trail Marker Roster.“

“I've eaten here 4 times this week lol. There's a reason why the ratings are so high - the food is exceptional, it's affordable and the service is good. I've been ordering the chicken shwarma pitas and occasionally the baklava. Both are out of this world“

“Crispy Eggplant Parm Sandwich w/ House Chips and Chocolate Coconut Mousse were all delicious, and the service that I received from Ian was both welcoming and attentive. This was the first time that I’ve been out to eat in a while, when I didn’t have to worry so much about compromising flavor, in place of excessive dairy and meats. The Owl House is a winner- I’ll definitely be back! 🤤👍🏼“

“One of my kids has pretty intense food anxiety and basically is only comfortable eating chicken fingers and fries when we go out to eat. Making it hard on the rest of the family as that limits our dining choices often. We were really excited to find the kids menu here. The sushi, ramen, AND chicken fingers and fries were all excellent, the prices and portions are good, and the staff were friendly and helpful.“

“I love the food, the atmosphere, the serving sizes, the menu pricing and the customer service is amazing“
