“LOVED THE FOOD!! So good and the atmosphere is amazing! Such great service“

“TK's has excellent service and delicious food in a laid back environment. The outside space overlooking the falls is breathtaking. I highly recommend stopping in to see Todd and Maria!“

“Outstanding dinner, the salmon and filet were both perfect! The spinach fritters should be an appetizer if they were so delicious!“

“Close to stage seating. Not a bad seat in the house. Fast , friendly staff. Awesome , accommodating owner, James Shelly Top national bands. Great food. Very reasonable prices!“

“Been coming here for years. Love this place. The owners are like family and to top it off the food is amazing especially the Dale 37 burger! Highly recommend!“

“burgers are awesome I would definitely recommend“

“You gotta bee there to fully experience it.“

“I love the steak Bomber sandwich 🍔“

“This is by far the best plate in Rochester!! The garbage plate wrap is AMAZING! They also have a sauce called panther sauce that elevates the plate! The only suggestion I have is they need to figure out the phone situation. I feel like they unplug the phones on purpose so they don’t have to take more orders. This makes it hard when wanting to order ahead, we have to drive there and hope for the best when it comes to a wait time. Other then that I HIGHLY recommend!“

“Recently went for a girls dinner and was happy to find many gluten free options clearly labeled on the menu. Staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Food and cocktails were delicious. Celiac approved. Will be back.“

“The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, and menu items are creative, filling takes on comfort sandwiches and entrees. The cocktail menu is a romp through classics both reinvigorated and reimagined. The staff is attentive and efficient, and answers questions about ingredients and sourcing well. Definitely put Mendon 64 on your must-try list if you are in the Rochester area.“

“All you can eat, allergy accommodating dining hall that puts it's students first. The staff is really welcoming and always says hello. You can get everything including pasta, the wok station, salad, fruit, soup, burgers and fries, sandwiches, desserts, ice cream, fresh bagels and English muffins, and whatever the hot entree's of the day are. Lackmann is always trying to find new and exciting things for students and loves getting feedback. Overall, a fantastic dining hall on campus!“

The rooms are clean and tidy, quiet nights rest , breakfast is always good and we were on our way again.Will. be using this hotel again ! Again a big Thank You to Diamond, definitely an asset to the hotel.“

“Went in late tonight and was greeted by the kindest young lady I’ve ever met! Lindsay was very kind, and she explained the menu very well for it being my first time in there! She had a smile that was infectious when I first walked in. She was patient when I changed my order 3 different times! She was just such a lovely person to talk to! The cooks did amazing job with the food and tasted all so well! Good job Lindsay for making me feel so welcomed! I can see that you really love your job, and good job to your boss for letting you love your job so much! I’ll definitely be back. 💕“

“Excellent service Friendly staff“

“First time trying the Erie Grill! We loved it! The food was excellent & ambience was perfect for a nice quiet date night! Our table over looked the canal & we saw the sunset! Our server, Hannah was fantastic! Friendly & very accommodating. She switched out my husband's mixed vegetables to Brussels sprouts when we told her he loved them! We each had a couple of drinks & talked after dinner. Never felt rushed! We WILL be back soon!“

“First time there with my fiancé. Polite, quick and friendly. Food quality seemed great. Place was very clean and fresh. We both ordered plates. Chz burger plate and chicken tender plate. Both were great but the chicken tender was to die for. Will definitely be visiting again!“

“Best milk and eggnog there is!“

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

“I had the cocktail, poison fruit, cocomo sushi truffle fries.“

“Favorite casual place to go for cocktails and food! Friendly staff and great prices!“

“We had a great time and experience here at Petals. They have a great selection of food to order. We got the appetizer called the munchies. The appetizer called the munchies is the perfect combination of a little bit of everything on the appetizer menu all on one dish. The service was good and fast. The bartender was very friendly, attentive, and is very good at what he does. The atmosphere is very laid back lounge feel. Petals is inside the hotel. Both sides of Petals is very laid back.“

“place has gone down hill... got a black and blue to go, it was burned to a crisp, and gave me the wrong sauce. miss the old owners“

“We were there in March for the Billy Joel tribute band and dinner. The food was outstanding. The service was excellent. Loved the cool decor and plenty of parking. We will definitely be back.“

“I love the karaoke on Mondays, the food is amazing, and the staff behind the bar are AWESOME.“

“My elderly dad was having a fit about his Beef on Wek sandwich not being right, after I explained to him that it was, but two different management people very patiently worked with him on it three different times and tried to get it to what his expectations were. I was losing patience and never really got to eat my meal because I was attending to dad. I just wanted to thank you (at the Avon location) for helping me through this and not making it worse! Thanks“

“Ok so people don’t understand how to rate an establishment on Google… people, your rating needs to be based on where you are and relative to that environment: if you’re in a mall looking for fine dining… guess what? You’re not going to be happy (generally speaking). Likewise, if you’re in an airport and want cheap, high quality food… guess what? You’re going to be disappointed.

Gusto is not cheap, but it is high quality, handmade food, with what seem to be high quality ingredients. Furthermore, the staff and ambiance/seating/atmosphere of Gusto is a 10/10 (for an airport). They do a terrific job here. Had the chicken pesto panini (and three beers) and it was fabulous. Will eat here again.“

“Absolutely love this place! The service and food are always spot on.“

“The wait was long due to the busyness, but checking out the merchandise in the shop was very nice and sped up the wait time. The hostesses were very kind and accommodating. Then, with a party of 6, we had the BEST of the BEST server, Latisha! It was a pleasure having her serve us, as she was friendly, always with a smile, efficient, caring, and went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable! THANK YOU, LATISHA!! Also, the food was excellent!“

“Great food and awesome waitresses!“

“We Just had breakfast at Sunny’s and besides the fabulous food I have never seen a waitress as attentive, friendly, cheerful, just simply awesome. Heather! Thank you for your excellent service and friendly personality. We will be back!“

“Michael's Valley Grill is a warm, welcoming bar/restaurant with a nice ambience, which is important to people like me, who appreciate subtle lighting over brightly lit rooms. The current owner and staff are friendly and attentive, professional but not stuffy. There are some booths in the dining area that are somewhat private, and tables with white table cloths that feel elegant but not overly fancy. Or, one can choose to sit at a table in the bar area. Tonight we chose to dine at the cozy bar. There are black board specials but honestly, the regular menu is diverse and with plenty to choose from. Today I had panko breaded chicken Romano with mozzarella and tomato sauce over penne and it was wonderful. Everything is good there. You leave feeling comfortably pampered after having had a unique and special dining experience.“

“Always great food, and the atmosphere is great. The prices are a bit high, but worth it. The staff is usually awesome, although some experiences have been worse than others. For the most part, really nice place to go when you want a healthy and tasty meals. Only other gripe with it is that I ordered a naan bread with my bowl online and I didn’t get it 😔“

“Ate there last night. Service was good. Manager Julie super friendly and welcoming. 3 of us had fish fries, 2 battered, 1 breaded. Large portions but a bit overcooked. Coleslaw portion small though. Broccoli with garlic butter had a topping that was a bit salty until I mixed it up. Delicious. Super attentive waitress. Never had to ask for a refill of ice tea she'd bring it upon noticing it was getting low. Wedge salad ginormous!! Almost entire head of lettuce!! Friendly staff and good service. Definitely going back for a 2nd try on the fish.“

“Thank you to the very kind lady, that paid for our lunch today, on veterans day, made my husband veterans day extra special“

“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“

“Always a FUN time on the dance floor!🤠🎉🎸🎵“

“One of our favorite spots! The cheesy hot tots and the Mac attack burger are amazing“

“Took a chance on this place and we were not disappointed.

Great service from the get-go (the community of Rochester are so kind), amazing food, great prices.

We need a place like this in Ontario!

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu that was such a great deal“

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

“Sals never disappoints. It was my introduction to Rochester almost 30 years ago, my regular Monday night stop while we lived here and a can’t miss when we visit. I’m partial to the Scottsville Rd location since it was always “mine”.
The chicken is delicious. Perfect as always. The sassy saucy is a delectable mix of spicy and sweet. And you can buy bottles of it so we can share even when at home in Taiwan! My favorite is the half chicken dinner with double Mac salad. When I’m craving home it usually starts by missing Mac salad!
My family likes the wings and wedges dinner but honestly, you can’t go wrong. An absolute treasure if Rochester!“

“Very good food very friendly makes you like family“
