Steve’s is a great breakfast diner classic!When you wake up feeling lazy and do not feel like cooking the family Saturday breakfast—this is the local stop to go to! Keep in mind, Steve’s is well known and loved but the locals and you will likely need to allow for at least a 20min wait time—during the height of breakfast and lunch. Their pancakes are ginormous and take like yellow cake! Take one home, carry-out—in their cute little pancake pizza boxes. One pancake can feed a family of four!They have great omelets, frittatas, skillets, burgers, BLT’s (extra bacon,) great sweet potato fries, and fresh salads! (To say the least) Your breakfast will be made with excellence or they will fix it! Steve’s also services real maple syrup upon request and they offer a nice little selection of coffee creamers for those who enjoy flavored coffee!My family loves this joint and we often stop in with friends and family for a great breakfast or lunch meal out. The kids especially love their cinnamon sugar dip and Nutella french toast!The management and waitress are kind patient and attentive. This Chili, NY location is clean, maintained and accommodating.

We came for a later breakfast. We had to wait until a table cleared. The service was excellent. Food came quickly. I had Steve's Special. My wife had a fruit Love cake and my son had bacon with gluten free tatertots. We all agree the food was excellent. The place was crowded with people but very clean.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-Free

Waitresses was very friendly as one was apologetic to me because she felt the vibes I was feeling. Cook gave a very dirty look my way as waitress asked about my order, with the look his reply was “it’s going to be a minute” very nasty attitude. Took 25-30mins for order when I was told 10-15min. Worst $40 breakfast ever! Grits was as if they poured water on old one’s to serve me, very runny. French toast was white bread dipped in egg, the worst!!! Would not recommend to anyone for breakfast unless u just want eggs and toast.

We were here a few weeks ago. The food was pretty good. I had a Waffle w/ eggs. My husband did not care for his meal........he had the Chicken Fried Steak. My children LOVED their meals. The service was very good, I would go back for that alone. There are many locations in Rochester. I would probably go back here.

*Order their sausage links, they are homemade and nothing like I expected. These alone are worth the visit**The love cake (pancake) and eggs Benedict menu is already on the table, we missed that entirely and were wondering where it was in the other menus we received upon sittingNote: the first booth behind the hostess station was cold because they are recovering from a flooding situation. May want to avoid that for a couple weeks. Even though we were cold, the food was worth it. And I feel sorry that they had to go through that!I can’t wait to visit again. Jamaican me crazy finger lakes coffee, awesome pancake or “love cake” as they call them, great service, and warm atmosphere.My dining partner got a Polish breakfast wrap and wished there was more sauerkraut. It is dispersed within the egg and wasn’t too obvious it was there. It’s possible they would have provided a side of sauerkraut if she had asked. The waitress was super nice.Parking: Parking is in a plaza. Hard to get spots right near the restaurant. You may need to walk a little but there are spots behind the restaurant as well.

A busy little quaint restaurant that provides some of the best food for breakfast I have ever had on the East Coast so far. They offer love cakes, gluten-free options, and friendly atmosphere to invite you in even though they're only open for a limited time in the morning. Went back twice in the one week I was visiting the area. We'll go back again next time I'm out there.Dietary restrictions: They offer some gluten-free options.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs.
