“Late-Night Gem: Hungry in Pittsford, NY

After 9:30 PM, finding a spot for a quick and delicious bite can feel like a challenge, but Hungry in Pittsford delivered beyond expectations. I ordered their Hungry Wrap, Italian Sausage, and Platter Combo, and they whipped everything up in no time!

The Platter Combo was a crispy, indulgent medley of fried treats, cooked to perfection and paired with tangy sauces. The Hungry Wrap was a cheesy, flavorful delight—each bite was a symphony of fresh ingredients and bold seasonings. The Italian Sausage was packed with hearty flavors, perfectly balanced by caramelized onions and peppers in a soft, crusty roll.

Every dish was freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. Hungry not only nailed the taste but also the speed—an ideal spot for late-night cravings. If you’re ever in Pittsford and need a quick yet satisfying meal, don’t miss this place.“

“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!“

“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!“

“its the best, great way to meet people and talk about your pursuits“

“Best milk and eggnog there is!“

“Catina & Grille is one of the best restaurants on the RIT campus for students to have breakfast and lunch. I visit the restaurant twice a week, and my favorite dish is the burrito Rice Bowl. This dish is a perfect mixture of all the healthy ingredients, and they add a variety of protein, like chicken, beef, pork, etc. The restaurant's ambiance is excellent; people can work on their laptops while enjoying the food. The restaurant service is up to the mark from 12:30 to 2:30 PM. There is a huge crowd of customers at the restaurant, so your order can be delayed due to the same, but apart from that, the overall experience at Catina & Grille is excellent. I highly recommend people living in Rochester and nearby areas visit Catina and Grille and especially try my favorite dish, "Burrito Rice Bowl."“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“We use this hotel each year on our trip to Ohio from Maine. Easy to find from I 90. We were welcomed by Diamond at reception in a professional and friendly manner which was nice after a long drive. 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.“

“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“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“What a sweet way to end a wedding trip! This airport eating expereince almost makes me want to a delay so we can come back for our next meal. Warm atmosphere, awesome owner, extensive list of beverages, cozy hot chocolate, friendly banter from the kitchen...overall great experience!“

“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.“

“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“

“Great food and awesome waitresses!“

“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 😔“

“Great food, staff are friendly and we love Trivia Night! Feels like Cheers but in Penfield.“

“Very attentive staff. All of their food is made in-house, so it’s nice and fresh and of the highest quality. I had their wings, Buffalo Mac and cheese, a mule, and crustless cheesecake. All of which were FANTASTIC. Very lovely decor and well-maintained. The food is expensive, but you’re getting what you pay for. I recommend this place all across the board!“

“Delicious. My family has never had a problem. My favorite part of Rucks is all the different kinds of pizzas. So much more variety than just pepperoni and cheese.“
