SGrave wrote about Buckadoo's Diner

My family had the exact experience when we went in the second time. There was some kind of family get together there and they were being loud and inconsiderate. When we go to dine, I atleast want to hear the person across from me without screaming!!

luxem wrote about Ristorante Lucano

Lucano's restaurant is one of the few Italian restaurants in town worth visiting. It is a small, cozy place and the owners are usually there. It is best to make a reservation, as they are frequently full. I usually have either a veal dish or pasta. The pasta sauces are made on the premises, and they are delicious. It also has a reasonable wine selection (not large, but a good variety), and the desserts are tasty. One of the things I like best is that you are not hurried through your meal. Prices are a bit higher than average, but the meal value is much higher; not a bad trade-off.

paduca wrote about Grandpa Sam's Italian Kitchen

we stopped in after my husband found Sam's online with my sister and 6 year old grandson. it was around 7:30 after a very long day. what a delightful surprise. not only was the food phenomenal, we were treated as though they had just been waiting for us to arrive. they went out of their way to interact with my grandson, to the point of letting him pick out each italian cookie from the cookie tray. i would recommend this restaurant to anyone with their family or for a romantic evening. it was just fabulous.

ROCmusic commented on From Makyo Star to solo star

"Surprisingly, though, the 25-year-old guitarist doesn't sound bitter." Really? He sounds pretty bitter to me. Talking about how much time, money and passion he put into the band. Welcome to the real world Paul, things don't always work out the way you want them to. It's how you handle disappointments and grow from them that matters. "He even touches on his once-close friendships with the members of Makyo Star on two songs: "Thieves" and "Remnants of Relationships." Thieves? Yeah that's not too bitter. The band put it "vaguely" as you say because they are probably being polite and taking the high road. He sounds like a high maintenance drama queen who needs to grow up. Sounds like he needed to be solo because he was difficult to work with. You should be ashamed of this article Troy. I didn't know that you wrote a gossip column. I thought you were a journalist.

These beer tubes have been at the Roost for about 4-5 years now. They have definately been in Rochester before under the name of Beer Rockets.

Price sounds high but you get an AWESOME event. As soon as you walk through the big mansion gates there is "fog" everywhere and a man on horse "creepy" .. The haunted house is great I screamed several times, and a well done hayride. It was worth the $20.00 , there is stuff going on all around you.

jaf6914 wrote about Paradiso Pizza

AWFUL pizza. Awful ingredients from the toppings, to (and especially) the crust. I had better pizza at the high school cafeteria.

ruby9393 wrote about Casa Azteca

Best Mexican food since Don Pablo's went out of business! Still looking for Mexican food like what I used to eat in Southern San Diego, California.

ruby9393 wrote about Charlie Brown's Restaurant

Everything they had to eat was great until they closed about 6 months ago. They hope to open up again someday, since they have been an icon of the City of Rochester, NY for so many years!

bdawg3103 wrote about Jeremiah's Tavern

I've read a lot about how amazing Jeremiah's wings are, and I was not disappointed when I finally tried them. Mild/Medium/Hot are actually the same classic wing sauce, the variation in amount of sauce is what accounts for the difference in heat (this is directly from our waitress), so I would definitely recommend Hot if you like saucy wings. Catatonic is a chunky and unique sauce with a more veggie taste, but is spicy and delicious. By far the best though is the Bee Sting sauce. Sweet, peppery, and with just the right amount of spice... its an experience to be sure.

dnaupd1 wrote about Anchor Bar

I was among one of the first patrons to be invited to the grand opening of the Rochester Anchor Bar. If you were there, you'll remember how it was packed well beyond capacity including patrons from the bar next door walking back and forth through the open doors to take advantage of the open bar. At first glance it appeared to be yet another empty room filled with chairs, people, TV's, and a bar with recognizable employees from Ronny Davis' other establishments. To a patron visiting the downtown nightlife almost every weekend, this was no surprise. Having been a long time fan of the Buffalo Anchor Bar, I had a frame of reference of what to expect, and where to set my expectations. Boy was I disappointed. The bar was crowded, can't hold that against them. The wings were soggy, EXTREMELY undercooked, to the point that they were piping hot (physically), sauceless, and saturated with dripping cooking oil. Poor start, however I could hardly hold it against them being their first night open. Second attempt, Sept. 19, figured I'd give them another shot after working out the kinks. This was yet another echo of the many east end establishments all operated by the same owner. I ordered 40 wings for takeout, 8:00 PM. Early on a Saturday night but the bar is packed already. My friend and I decide to grab a drink while we wait. Believe it or not, I had placed my drink order 3 times without a single drink served to me. Bartenders were taking drink orders then fraternizing with their friends who had come to the bar for free drinks, slamming shots with them then wandering around almost as if looking for more people they know. Then when struck by the sight of flailing arms by the not-so-subtle patrons who make their presence known, they serve the squeakiest wheel first. This is the low quality garbage I have come to find that Rochester bars setting as par for the course. Which screams to me a slogan that sounds something like "Come here, we'll sell you a drink" In my opinion, that's all they WILL promise you. If not satisfied? oh well, we'll get your business back the next year when we close down, remodel and reopen under a different name.

rvangelo wrote about Hickory Ridge Golf Country Club RV Resort

Food outrageous in price. This is a remote country setting with poor country atmosphere. Golf course is poorly kept. Fairways are hard as rock with many many ruts and weeds. The trailer park is like living with trailer park people. Noisy nights from the road directly behind the camp sites. Teen agers frequently walk thru from the neigborhood and cause a lot of comotion. Poor onsite facilites, and unclean. Sites are small and crowded if there were one next to you. You have to drive about 10 miles away to play a nice golf course at a price lower and quality far above this course. I would not recommend this facility as it is advertised.

jon115 wrote about Anchor Bar

After eating unforgettable wings at the original Buffalo location, my wife & I planned a Saturday night dinner at the new East Ave Anchor Bar. The nerve of charging customers $5 for parking wasn't a good first impression. I thought everyone downtown screams how no one wants to patronize our city on the weekends- then charging to park should be the first thing to go. I had lunch plans to go there during the week & have changed them. I can only imagine trying to find a side street spot at noon M-F. After waiting 15 minutes for a table, which can be expected, we were seated. It didn't matter if the seats were under a speaker or not- because they music was being played at a deafeningly loud level. We had to shout to each other at our table to be heard. The service was average at best. We asked for extra crispy hot wings. They were fairly crispy, but not hot at all- medium at best. We decided not to return again & prefer the Distillery or Jeremiah's wings any day.

Juvenile71983 commented on A Penny saved ...

I am sure you are nice Nancy Halligan and all but last time I went here summer time Thrash And Burn tour was my final straw with this complete disgusting hole in a wall night club/concert venue!! Just because I was visiting your club from out of town (Syracuse) does not give your employees the right to treat my friend and I like complete S.H.I.T.!! I hated this place and it is small/no fun at all...good luck Nancy I hope you do clean this place up and have better luck making it alot better!!
