48 Best American Restaurants near West Henrietta

“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.“

“Excellent food quality and so flavorful!“

“Absolutely blown away with everything. We could not go wrong with anything on the menu, and the only thing that upset us was that we could not stomach more. Marisa was an amazing server and was absolutely lovely. Kudos to all of the chefs who prepared the food to perfection! We will definitely be coming back, and cannot wait to see what is on the next menu.“

“What an absolute gem! 💎 the best food (tapas) and wine selections in the area. They offer local to international wines, and the food is made to order and cooked to perfection! We’ve been twice and are going back with friends to share the experience. Our first time was taking our daughter there before she moved to Spain 🇪🇸 and again for our anniversary 🍾🥂. The shaved asparagus salad, grilled octopus, duck, corn dog and chicken shawarma were all excellent! I can’t wait to go back to try more!“

“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!“

“Rooney’s hosted my colleagues and I today for an amazing dinner. It was mine, and many others first time at Rooney’s and all said the same thing- WE WILL BE BACK. The food was delicious, service amazing, and ambiance was quiet, chic, and moody.“

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

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

“The food is amazing. The service is great, and the eggnog latte is to die for.“

“Stepping through the doors of TK's I felt as though I had wandered into a dream—one where candlelight glows like captured starlight and the air itself seems perfumed with possibility. Yet even in a place so artfully enchanted, nothing could have prepared me for the poutine that arrived before me like a revelation on porcelain. This was not merely poutine. This was a culinary sonnet, a whisper from the gastronomic heavens. A dish so sublime it felt almost mischievous to call it by its familiar name. The Wisconsin cheese curds announced themselves with unapologetic pride. You could taste their birthplace—lush dairy fields, cows humming contentedly, the whole pastoral romance. Each curd held its integrity just long enough to declare, “Yes, I am from Wisconsin,” before surrendering into a gentle, buttery melt that can only be described as perfection liquefied. They didn’t just melt—they blossomed across the warm potatoes in creamy, celestial ribbons. And then there was the demi-glace. Oh, the demi-glace. Calling it a “half” anything feels adorably modest. This sauce was appropriately named only because it is indeed better than half of a glace—it may be better than all of them. A rich, velvety pool of umami velvet, it cascaded over the fries with the elegance of a silk gown in motion. Deep, complex, and infinitely comforting, it managed to be both bold and tender at once, like a secret told in a familiar voice. And what of the phrase “better than Canada”? Risky, perhaps. Blasphemous to some. But after a forkful of this poutine—this enchanted mosaic of potato, curd, and demi-decadence—I found myself whispering it involuntarily. Not out of disrespect for our northern culinary champions, but because sometimes a creation transcends borders and loyalties altogether. This poutine is not better than Canada because it compares itself— It is better because it dares not. It simply is. In short, the dish is a masterpiece. A warm, glowing, cheese-laden love letter to indulgence itself. If a restaurant can be judged by its poutine, then TK's is nothing short of the north star of flavorful delirium. The view of the falls isn't demi bad either.“

“Service was phenomenal! Everything is homemade including drinks and is so delicious!“

“We can’t say enough positive comments about Spencerport Hots. We had them cater my son’s graduation yesterday and they were amazing. From our first email/text to book, the correspondence up until the party and day of, great customer service. And the set-up and food….. AMAZING. My family and I for sure will be using them future forward!!“

“Grew up in Rochester and this is was a really good, classic garbage plate. Add a bit more seasoning the mac salad and it would be 10/10“

“Great breakfast and fantastic service.“

“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.“

“so good!!! have ordered from here twice and the food has been amazing. the b.o.b burger is by far the best burger ive ever had and the salad is fresh and topped with a lot! so excited to try new things.“

“Great food, great service. Very nice atmosphere. The owner came to our table 3 times just to check on us.“

“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!“

“Went in with my family for the first time since the new owners opened in December 2024, amazing food & drinks! had an amazing experience with our waitress Nicole! she was so friendly and helpful! she recommended the artichoke & broccoli french appetizer & the brussel sprouts, she was spot on wen she said “it’s the best french sauce you will have” , the brussel sprouts, OMG! absolutely amazing! they were cooked and seasoned perfectly! We also ordered wings & she recommended the Sweet Heat BBQ for the sauce , & it is the perfect mix of heat & sweet ! Cocktails & Mocktails were delicious! Nicole gave us an amazing dining experience! We cannot wait to go back & try the smash burgers & fish fry’s! We will definitely be asking for Nicole as our waitress!!“

“We recently had a surprise 40th birthday celebration for my daughter. There were 14 guests. We had brunch on a Sunday. Everything was wonderful. The General Manager, Webster was great to work with. He was very professional as well as personable. The staff was amazing. Very polite & we had exceptional service. The food was delicious. Everyone was very pleased with what they had. We would highly recommend the Brown Hound.“

“always great...!! been coming here for near 50 years 🙂“

“Food, atmosphere, server very good! Bruce picture of mimosas is where it's at. My only reason it's not 5 stars is that we had a weird miscommunication with he server. 2 people at the table asked for a side of churros and the other had chicken and churro entree. The server came over and said that they can't do the churros and so the person with the chicken and churros ordered side of fries instead and they 2 others with the sides of churros asked for sides of bacon instead. Fast forward, all of us got our entress instead of 1 person. They waited 15 minutes longer than everyone else. Then all of a sudden 3 sides of churros came out. The server said ok the kitchen is trying these. So now at this point everyone had their replacement sides and now 3 sides of churros. We assumed they "were testing them" since that's what the server said and they would be on the house since now that's too much food. But when we got the bill we were charged for the curros and the other sides. It was just confusing overall with the communication on that and then also we got charged for sides and the cjurros when we wanted 1 or the other not both. The manager, which I think is the owner was very nice and they comped the churros. It sounded like the server told them that we didn't like the churros, but it was more of the principle of being charged. Would definitely go back, I would never hold a miscommunication against a restaurant, but just wanted to voice a few things. Overall cool new spot“

“My server Christine was absolutely amazing and attentive throughout my experience, I was impressed with her professionalism and good energy, so much so that it enraged me when I overheard the bartender, Mischa yelled across the bar at Christine to “pay attention to the door” where she looked away for a millisecond. As someone who has worked in restaurants for over 10 years I felt the tension in the employees interactions the moment I walked in and didn’t understand why until I heard Mischa being disrespectful to Christine. I took the time to ask him to come over and I expressed my concerns and he claimed he would apologize however I highly doubt that he will“

“Too expensive in the food's not as good as it used to be“

“The atmosphere and food is so good. Excellent service and wonderful dining experience all around.“

“My boyfriend and I had decided to do a lunch date here today. It was our first time. It was a great experience, the food was great, with good prices. The atmosphere was nice and calm, and the restaurant clean. The server was friendly and made us feel welcome (I do not remember her name but it was a blonde woman) We will definitely be back!“

“While this is the original Garbage Plate, I wouldn’t say it’s the best in Rochester. There are several local places that offer superior burgers, hot dogs, and meat sauce. However, I still enjoy returning to Nick Tahou’s for the classic experience, especially when hosting out-of-town guests. It’s a must-try for anyone looking to get a taste of Rochester's culinary history. Eat up!“

“Attended food truck Tuesday in Larkin Square…got the caprese Mac and cheese…..phenomenal! Fast friendly service!“

“These people are family, every Saturday morning. They food is delicious, rotating and seasonal specials. It wouldn’t be a Saturday morning without Gina and Stephanie!!“

“The food is AMAZING! First things first, they are open on Mondays when nearly everything else is closed. Second: I had the fried chicken sandwich with side salad. The chicken had a light batter, perfectly cooked-tender and juicy. The salad was made with kale, shaved brussels, red peppers and the dressing was so delish! My partner had the chicken pot pie that had large pieces of chicken and lots of veggies with a tasty pie crust. He said it was the perfect hot dish for a freezing cold January night. Third…the old fashioned cocktails were perfectly crafted. Bonus: Happy hour drinks 4p-7p. Thanks for a great meal on a night when we didn’t want to cook but wanted delicious food.“

“Absolutely delicious breakfast - beautiful, fresh and so so tasty! Service was fantastic - will definitely return!!“

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

“Every time I get food. It’s delicious. Fresh food. You can tell they care about quality. Great portions at great prices. The staff are kind. The owner is amazing. If you want awesome food. Go to Chili Hots!!“

“I’ve never had oxtails until coming here today, and the meat and gravy had my 15 month old and I licking our fingers. They know what they’re doing 👍🏽
The jerk chicken was 1 of the best flavored chicken I’ve ever had in my life, and the beef patty was so comforting. Delicious and outstanding food! Thank you for feeding us 🤎“

“When my family is in Rochester we always make a trip to drifters!“

“We ate at the restaurant last night for the first time and it certainly won’t be the last. Very Very pleased with our dinner. The Caesars salad and artichoke appetizers were great. For dinner we had the crab fried rice and the salmon. They were both absolutely delightful. I would strongly recommend making a reservation and exploring this restaurant.“

“Visited from out of state and was told I needed to try a plate. Quite the culinary experience! I’ll definitely be back again when I’m in the area.“

“Super friendly staff with amazing food. I appreciated the diverse menu and had the smash burger. It was PERFECT. I wish I lived closer because I’d eat my way through the menu and The Old Stone Tavern would be a regular spot. If you’re a local that hasn’t discovered this gem, run, don’t walk. If you’re just passing through Rochester and want to try a local place with amazing eats, find the nearest exit.“

“Excellent service Friendly staff“

“Delicious vegan food Can’t wait to go back“

“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."“

“Amazing food I was starving and right when I started eating I felt smooch better I have been going there for so long and I love it.
It is a great place for family dinner, dates, and also going there solo.
I WOULD RECOMMEND A MILLION TIMES!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“A hidden gem! The food was delicious and friendly staff. Check them out.“

“Food was terrific had the salmon Good job. Also your server Janice was fantastic. Wish I had a quarter of her energy! Great job Janice and great job 110 grill“

“The food is great as always. The lady taking orders could’ve been less rude, she seemed annoyed, no kind of greeting just “What do you want”, no “you’re welcome” when I thanked her after she took my order, thanked again when she handed me my order and met with silence. The next time I go there and if she’s taking orders I’m going somewhere else, there are plenty of other places to get a plate.“

“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!“

“Ordered beef and cheese empanadas, jerk empanadas, shrimp fried rice, and baked and stoned mac and cheese. Absolutely delicious, filling, fresh comfort food“
