50 Best Burger Restaurants in Rochester

“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 🙌🏻“

“The guys running the place are super friendly! The food is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. 10/10 recommend!“

“The food and the staff are amazing! Fast service but not fast food!“

“We dined for the first time last night and it was fantastic! The wings were large, crispy and very flavorful. We tried a few different sauces and loved each one. We also ordered their pizza special and it was also really good. Helpful, friendly staff and a fantastic view of the river. We will definitely be back.“

“This was our first time trying The Gate House and we were impressed! We came on a Thursday afternoon with no reservation and were seated right away. Our server was prompt and attentive immediately and continued through the duration of our meal. We tried the Xerox pizza as well as the Duffy burger and both were 10/10! Absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend!“

“Moo’d Burger Bar is an amazing spot! Each burger my group got was phenomenal. I got the 585 burger which I would highly recommend if you like garbage plates. The garlic fries as a choice of side was a good addition to the meal as well. After our meal we had to get dessert since that is what this place is truly known for and it definitely did not disappoint! Their ice cream desserts are second to none in the area and I would go again just for that.“

“Alright, let’s set the record straight on this restaurant. Anyone questioning the owner’s integrity just doesn’t know the half of it. This place is all about positive vibes, fantastic service, and reasonable pricing. Now, they do have a note on the menu that pricing is subject to change, and sure, sometimes the menu isn't always updated right on the dot. But let’s be real: the value you get more than makes up for a minor price tweak here and there. I’ve had them cater events for me multiple times and it's been flawless. No shams, just an honest, fantastic spot.“

“Stopped in late this afternoon . I enjoyed a delicious glass of wine and a wonderful meal . The service is friendly and top notch.“

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

“awesome food and fresh rite off the grill. love the root beer 🥰🥰🥰“

“Definitely will be going back. Great staff, good food, and a great dining experience.“

“I absolutely love Bill Gray’s and I moved away six years ago. I was so looking forward to my cheeseburger, onions and hot meat sauce. We got six meals to go. All that ordered meat sauce did not have any when we got home. I was crushed. Good thing I have a much love for Bill Gray’s to forgive this huge oversight that really disappointed me.“

“My husband and I have lunch here every Wednesday. The food is always great and we love Natasha, our regular server. She’s so sweet and so accommodating. We love her!“

“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 heard a lot about them from friends and was finally able to meet friends for breakfast today. All of the staff were so friendly from the time we walked in the door and until we left. So many options to choose from, service was fast and the food was GREAT!! I highly recommend them, so if you get a chance, please stop by and check them out.“

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

“Im not a sports guy and I dont think ive ever actually sat down in this restaurant. BUT, they have the absolute greatest chicken tenders in all of rochester. They're honey mustard is an excellent and original taste. The food always comes out hot and fresh. I get take out here all the time because these are my girlfriend's favorite chicken tenders, hands down.“

“The menu never disappoints. Creative and fresh. The dishes are inspiring and delicious.“

“Thank you the management and staff for a wonderful birthday party for my kids this evening. Food was great, and the service was even better“

“Great food, John was a great bartender. Thanks for a great day on this gloomy winter day.“

“We stopped in last night everyone was so welcoming and nice and the food was great!!! It was hot and fresh and soooo good!! 10 out of 10 for us 😋“

“Extremely delicious burgers and chicken sandwiches. Despite being basic crinkle cut, the fries were surprisingly good, too. Unfortunately, the pricing is out of range for what many would expect (>$20 per person), and as a result, I can't justify going here on more than just a rare occasion.

Edit: since writing this review, Shake Shack has came out with many promotion codes that can be used to either order on the app or the in-store Kiosks. Definitely helps with the affordability.“

“Really disappointed in our order tonight. Chicken fingers had a stale chemical taste. Hot meat sauce made my cheeseburger plate inedible as it was strikingly hot from previous experiences on plates. Bacon burger also had an odd taste. Not sure what the deal is as this is not the norm for our experience there.“

“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“

“I personally love Wimpys, and would rate them 10/10. I occasionally stop by for a Cheeseburger Plate, and they have several delicious and customizable options to choose from, so you can mix and match. Their staff is so friendly.“

“The burgers are good, service is friendly“

“Food was good and had great atmosphere. The customers looked happy , there wings look amazing and they put carrots , celery and Mac salad in bowl with it ! Old school vibes with old school prices we had a wonderful evening supporting local“

“Good service, good food, good prices. The bacon was crispy, but not overcooked, and the blueberry pancakes were delicious.“

“I only counted 4 guys... but the food was great!“

“Every time my fiance and I go to Rochester which is pretty far from us we try to stop at Nick Tahou's. They are always so friendly there. One of the workers was talking to my toddler and making him laugh. Love everything about this place. And the food is always a 10/10“

“We've gathered there with friends on two occasions recently. Both times the waitress was very attentive and accommodating - separate checks were no problem at all. We reserved tables ahead of time. Live music was great & the guys could watch the football game while we all chatted! Great selection of beer and wine!! A fun gathering place! We'll def be back!!“

“Best Bill Gray's meal I have ever had...service a little slow but the burger and fries were hot,hot,hot!“

“Burgers are great. Meat hot sauce is my favorite in Rochester! Dining area needs a DEEP cleaning, especially floors.“

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

“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.“

“We came here during a busy Friday afternoon. The food was pretty good. Came here as I haven't been to the area in over 10 years and was passing thru. The food was hot and fresh. The staff was busy keeping things rolling. The only thing that kept it from 5 stars was the price. Seems wicked pricey this time around. I know everything has gone up but it seems 42 dollars for lunch for 2 was extreme. We each got a burger and fries and a drink. From the looks of our receipt everything is priced individually rather than a meal price. Asked a friend about it who lives in the area and she said to use the app and you can get a discount. Seems to be how it goes in today's world. Overall good place to eat but a tad expensive for fast food.“

“They care about making their customers happy here. We had a lot of fun and the food was awesome!!“

“Impossible Whopper is very good; better than any other non-meat burger we’ve had. This BK location is very clean and well kept!“

“So good!!! Huge portions at great prices. Super friendly staff, clean facility, well done.“

“Ordered delivery the other day and had the manicotti. It wasn’t what I ordered, but mistakes happen, especially with delivery service so no big deal. The food was phenomenal and I will DEFINITELY be dining there again.“

“The only fast food we ever purchase is the occasional Impossible Whopper with cheese. Sounds simple, right? But not all locations deliver the same level of care and attention as this one. The staff here are always pleasant, and my Impossible Whopper is consistently excellent—every single time. Kudos to this team for caring about what they do and getting it right!“

“great burger reasonable prices“

“The best vegan pizza and fried dough! And friendly service. Can't wait to go back!“

“I am so impressed and appreciative of the honest employees and patrons of this establishment....I left my purse on a counter and a graciously kind patron turned it in and the employees kept it safe for me to retrieve....this says a lot about the integrity of this service and it's community! By the way, we had a lovely meal in a pleasant atmosphere too! Just wanted you to know...“

“I love the food here, but it really is never ready... I order an hour before I need it and go in 20 minutes after it says it should be ready and I still wait 30-50 minutes every time. This last time I got food I ordered for pickup at 6:15 and when I got there at 7:00, It was just being put on the shelf.

It is also so cold in there, I swear they always have their air conditioning on 10 degrees. Lol“

“The Really Philly was phenomenal! I would definitely get this again. Will be back for more.“

“I am sitting here after just receiving my order. I have the privilege of watching the team behind the counter operate. They are all working together and getting the job done. So impressed. We live in a world where customer service lost its value. Covid hit, and we were faced with take it or leave it circumstances. The customer is no longer always right. Now I look for places that get it done right the first time and here is where it’s at! This guy is running the show, if you read this and see him, let him know he is setting a good example for leadership and quality!“

“Always the go to spot when drunk! The hot sauce is absolutely garbage but who cares when drunk“

“Little Venice has always been my go to pizza joint in Rochester. Today there was a mistake on the pizza I ordered (i ordered the wrong toppings) but I spoke to the guys and they helped sort things out, getting me the right pie and the original.

Their pizza is delicious and as someone from the city, it is some of the closest pizza to reminding me of home.“
