We were on a buffalo wings adventure and this place was the runner up! Delicious, but their buffalo sauce had a sweet twist, not quite traditional, still spicy and flavorful. Their Cajun Honey Butter BBQ wings were the real star here. They also had amazing cheese curds and drinks. I forgot to take a picture of their fries, but we tried both shoestring fries and beer battered fries. SO GOOD! The service was phenomenal!

We drive 25 mins because BarBill is rated as best Beef on Weck in Rochester. We ordered Beef on Weck and 10 wings with a side of Fry's. I love the panko Fry's, right out of the fryer. Everything came out as it was done, very hot. I ordered mild wings with a side of hot. Most places don't make good hot sauce, this one made my hair tingle, and they have two heats above hot. Very tasty, not just Buffalo sauce. The wings were the best I've had anywhere, I enjoyed that even more than the Weck, which was fabulous. The salted Weck rolls were a special touch. Everything fresh, crispy wings. I'll be back!

My first time eating at the Rochester location.. It lives up to the reputation it earned in East Amherst back in the day. It's not spacious and not as intimate, but the food is still A+ Friends from out of state were visiting and we wanted be sure they had great wings and beef on weck.

Best wings I’ve had in years!!! Cost $17 for 10 wings and it was worth it!! Can’t find genuinely good wings anywhere anymore. They always look like they came from a chicken that died of malnourishment. Wings here are big and actually have meat on them and they’re very flavorful. I didn’t even know this place existed until I came here but now it’s the only place I’ll ever want to go for wings! The picture with the beer in it is from their menu. The other is how my food was brought to me. Just impressive all around!!

First time at Bar Bill East on Empire—good food 👍, mostly fried and beer-battered bar bites. I was expecting more traditional entrées, but it’s a great spot to relax after work and grab a bite with coworkers.

Bar Bill East on Empire Boulevard is an absolute gem! If you’re looking for the perfect New York wing experience, this is the place to go. The wings are nothing short of amazing—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and tossed in the most flavorful sauces you can imagine. What truly sets them apart, though, is their homemade blue cheese. It’s rich, creamy, and pairs perfectly with their legendary wings. When I think of New York, Buffalo Bills football, and wings, Bar Bill East immediately comes to mind. Our server Danielle made the experience even better! She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. She had great recommendations and truly elevated the entire visit. The vibe is welcoming, the service is fantastic, and the food is a game-changer. Whether you’re pre-gaming for a Bills game or just craving the best wings in town, Bar Bill East has you covered. Go Bills, and go wings!

Was hoping for a little Buffalo love on my trip to Rochester. Wings were undercooked and lack the crispness that Bar Bill Buffalo is known for. Service was slow and I understood based on the crowd size.. Bartender seemed busy and bothered until I asked for my check. She asked how my wings were, I replied, I wish I had asked for them ‘crispy.’ She said they usually are but the kitchen was slammed tonight. My bill was $22, I put $30 cash on the check and no change was brought back. Over all disappointed. My experience in Clarence and East Aurora was much better.

20 September 2024 We were seated right away, which was great. Our server (Valerie) was very attentive to our needs she even thanked me for my Military service. The restaurant was really clean, which is very important in this day and age. The hostess was friendly, she greeted us enthusiastically. The Menu is small but all the food we had was excellent! You need to give this place a try.

This was my first time eating inside the restaurant, last time we got wings to go and sat in the bar and waited until they were finished. We were seated in a small side room where there's only a few tables. Right in the corner by the AC unit, it is a no frills interior here where there's televisions to look at everywhere and once you decide what you want, you get it in because things take time to cook. Amy was our server and she was on top of it! Friendly and professional, she helped me choose a few items and also gave some advice when it came to flavors. "Medium is like most hot at other spots" this is good information to have. I ordered a cider and we went with two appetizers, pretzel sticks that came with green hatch chile queso and mustard, and Bar-Bill style fried cauliflower. It is a delicious batter that is deep fried, but instead of drenching the cauliflower in sauce by tossing it in a bowl like most wing places, it's lightly brushed on so that the texture is maintained on the pieces. They do the same thing with the wings. The pretzels are hot, crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside. Lots of salt, for this who like that. I enjoy it while drinking so I had a second cider. My sister in law and niece got the beef on weck. One got regular size, the other got small. Both came with chips but we got another of waffle fries to share. Looked good, but my nephew and I ordered 20 wings, one half medium, the other half Cajun honey butter. Obviously no choice but blue cheese, we are not animals! The wings were executed perfectly. The same method of brushing the sauce on makes these wings so good. Cajun spice overwhelmed the subtlety of the honey butter, so next time I suggest just going regular honey butter. If my niece doesn't eat wings next time I'll go with the hot wings too! The blue cheese dressing is not Ken's. I want to say that it's homemade and it is done very well. I took the extra ones to their home so I could try it again the next day with pizza. Never got to! Thanks to Amy and the team here for helping clear our table whenever we needed it, getting as many refills on water and drinks as we needed, and providing top level service. It was a Wednesday night before a holiday weekend, so not a big rush or line to get it. I'll be back! Need to keep honing in on what my favorite wing flavor is here! Support local businesses!

The chicken wings and thin tempura battered onion rings were wonderful! The wings came with a cup of blue cheese and celery. The blue cheese had a distinct flavor and elevated the wings. Really enjoyed the crispy texture of the wings. Though I would prefer they were saucier. The wing sauce options were plentiful with unique flavor options to choose from. The overall atmosphere is your typical sports bar with TVs all over decorated with fun sports memorabilia and posters. Service was great. Didn't have to wait very long for our order. The woman's restroom could have been cleaner. Noticed a gross smell upon entering and there was trash on the floor throughout. Everything else was enjoyable; we left satisfied with the meal & service.

I had High hopes for Bar Bill- I have heard so many people from Buffalo- totally love the wings. I need to tell you that my experience was not as good. We sat quickly, and our waitress was busy so another waitress took our drink orders.. they have a great custom hazy IPA made by K2 brewing ( next door) it was great.. my wife got a beef on weck I got wings.. the waitress told me to old medium light because "medium was really spicy".. the beef came Out quick, so quick we decided to order onion rings while waiting.. we ate the onion rings and beef on weck before the wings even hit the table.. needless to say I had one and waiting 10min for a box to take them home... the wings were crispy, flavor was dull, and the blue cheese was lacking any really blue cheese taste... I'm on the fence about if I go back to try again?? The ambiance of this location is amazing and the outside patio was full and looked like a great place to watch the sun set...

Nice variety of wings of which we partook in standard buffalo and a honey variety. Wings were done extra crispy which were very good. Honey version was very tasty. Was warned that hot was a notch higher heat than other places for Buffalo wings - unfortunately the medium hot were just medium and I should've gone with my standard hot - maybe next time. While a bit stingy on the celery - see photos - service was friendly and overall environs clean and neat both in the bar and restaurant.

Great wings! Extra crispy with plenty of sauce. T We got medium wings and qaffle fries with beer cheese. Quick service and seated with mo wait. Casual and low noise on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Nice lunch!

Nice Bills themed bar. I came for the wings and beef on weck. I shared an order of ten with my wife, so we ordered mild with medium hot sauce on side. The wings were large, cooked perfectly and arranged beautifully on the plate. The sauce however had a slight sweetness to it. We were visiting from New Hampshire and were seeking classic buffalo wings, we weren't interested in someone's "tweaked interpretation" of buffalo sauce. The addition of the medium hot sauce helped. The beef on weck was good. Generous portion of beef.

When in upstate New York, you have to go to the most highly recommended sports bars for wings! This place was just that. Service was great whole place was very clean and music was at a lower level so people could talk and hear each other at the same table. Even though I got my wings cooked well done, they still came out in a pretty quick amount of time. I have to say that the wings were absolutely delicious. I got the Cajun dry rub that completely met my expectations. I ordered a side of fries that were also as good. They were crispy seasoned, hot and fresh and absolutely delicious. It was a really great meal to have when I got into this area. And something that stood out, more so than normal, their blue cheese dressing. It was honestly the best blue cheese dressing I have ever had in my life. When I get wings, I usually get ranch dressing, but they had mentioned that their blue cheese was homemade so that's why I got it and I am sure glad I did. I have to give props to this place and say if you're looking for some good wings in the Rochester area, this is the place to go!

Overall an underwhelming experience. We got wings and the chopped salad. The wings were dry but the sauce was ok. The blue cheese sauce was unexpectedly good, different than what you'd expect from a typical blue cheese dressing. The chopped salad was unique and tasty, and there was the option to get a half portion which was a nice side. The server was friendly but it took a long time to get our food and we didn't get utensils until we asked. Also, the bathroom did not have any soap and there was just a roll of paper towels placed on the sink, which was the cherry on top of an average experience.

Ok.. first off this place opens up promptly at 11:30 am every day they are open. This was a different spot and for the life of me I can't remember the name. It does not really matter. The inside has lots of seating, long bar, lots of tv's and area where you can sit by the fireplace. It's not only one room though there is a bigger room if you walk straight back and I wonder if they are making available the upstairs space for parties and the like. The place got busy real fast on a Saturday at 11:30 am. Not a holiday just a random Saturday. Service is efficient and nice. When it's time to pay they have a device that you can tap your card or use Apple Pay and it's fast and efficient. We got the Beef on Weck which we shared. It was tasty it came with chips, au jus, horseradish and a pickle a nice touch. It was tasty, also it's not a hot sandwich but the jus to dunk it in is tasty. Than we ordered some wings and we took half home. You can order all flats or drums for a $1.00 more I believe. We ordered the Medium Hot, they were meaty and tasty. Thing is maybe I should have gotten medium and another type. I think next time we will. I'd like to try other options it would be fun. Bar Bill (in Buffalo) was just named of the Eight Best Placés in Buffalo to have wings. In Bon Appetit Magazine May 2024. Also they have outdoor seating. If you are wondering about other foods I have no clue. We only got wings and a sandwich. It's worth a visit but go early seriously. They have plenty of parking. It's on my list of wings places I like along with The Richmond and yes... Genesee Brewery Restaurant in the local area. The get a 4.5/5

Always friendly and fast service. Beef on weck is amazing, the Cajun honey bbq wings are just not as good as the original location. Still top tier wings for the area, but such a tough spot to be in trying to keep up with the legendary East Aurora wings.

I have been a fan of the original Bar-Bill in East Aurora for years and was so excited about this one opening near my home. Well after three different visits since they first opened I have come to the conclusion that this version just doesn't cut it. Famous for wings and beef on weck I have found both to be below average. The wings are undersized and overrated. The wing sauces are very good but Buffalo Wings in WNY must be roaster size and these are not. Better quality wings are available at many locations throughout Rochester. The Beef on Weck was also poor quality with fatty gristle that could not be chewed. Spitting out food onto your napkin makes for a poor dining experience. I''ve given them 3 tries and I doubt there will be a fourth.

We had the wings and beef on weck. I respect the small menu if it's done well, and it's done well here. I can't wait to come back for more. I just wish they did take out!

Finally went to the new Rochester Bar Bill location on Empire Boulevard! Location has a ton of space with an upstairs, outdoor patio and bar area - along with a little store for merch! We ordered the wings of course- 10 medium & 10 Cajun! They were fire! So crispy, tasty and filled with flavor! They come with a side of homemade blue cheese- however I'm a ranch girl. Service was fast and the staff were super friendly. We went on a weekday for lunch- so it wasn't crowded. I know dinners and weekends can definitely be crowded- so prepare for a wait- but it's sooo worth it! Enjoy!

Really good wings. The sauces were flavorful without having to completely soak the wings and make them lose their crispness. We had the medium hot, good heat level, and the honey Cajun bbq. Both good. The beef on weck was solid as well, but I'd prefer they dip the meat instead of putting au jus on the side- that's just a personal preference. Horseradish that came with it was good - potent. Lots of choices in fries, beer battered was the clear winner. The fried cheese curds were good but I don't think we'd order them again. The fried dough was fantastic though - get that. Waitress was nice, good service overall. It's definitely a sports bar vibe. We'll go back when the weather warms up, it's right on the bay across from LaSalle's park so sitting outside would be cool.

Excellent wings definitely worth the price. Everyone is friendly. Biggest issue you can't order to go. They supposedly have no phone. Order online doesn't exist but for all the other franchises you can order online. No DoorDash or GrubHub. I think they're stuck in the 1950's. I'm not the only one that doesn't like their antiquated ways. Delivery, takeout should be done no matter what your wings not steaks.

Been coming here for months and consistently receive great service from Sara on Wednesday evenings, the food is top quality and I generally stick with wings but they have many great flavors and always cooked well! Love that they have a game room upstairs for some casual darts or buck hunter... great spot all around!

I'm instantly sad they don't have the Asian option. Opted for hot n spicy bbq, cajun-honey butter bbq n Sicilian. I'm rarely a fan or parmesan garlic so the Sicilian wasn't a stand out. The spicy BBQ had a lil kick, the winners were definitely the cajun-honey butter BBQ. The service was good and quick, plenty of space and no wait.

Been wanting to try it out. Finally got a bud to go with me on a Sunday afternoon, May 25th, 2025. We both got a small Beef on Wick and shared 10 wings. We both agreed the wings were good, not fantastic, but good. The Beef on Wick was a let down though. We both agreed that all we tasted was salt, 0 beef favor. The bartender was friendly and attentive though. Will probably be a while before we come back.

Buffalonian here to tell you that this place is legit. It is up to par with Bar Bill in East Aurora which I was not expecting! This is officially the only place I will eat wings in Roc. Wings came out very crispy, cooked to perfection. Blue cheese is GREAT. Order the medium wings with the bar bill house lager, you won't be disappointed. We also tried the fries, not sure I would do the gravy again, I'll be saving that for Duffs - you just can't match their gravy/fries. BUT the wings here are unmatched in Rochester. No question. It lived up to my very high expectations. Also the outdoor seating is PRIME with the TVs. There's lots of indoor seating as well. We got there at 2pm and got a seat no problem, can't speak to the wait during normal eating hours though.

I thought this food was surprisingly delicious! Got the Nate chicken sandwich which kind of blew me away because I thought it was just gonna be another buffalo chicken type sandwich but the roll the bacon the blue cheese the sauce took it to another level. Onion wings were delicious with a slightly sweet Batter and cooked perfectly. Beef on weck was fantastic. Very good service. Two thumbs up for me

I have been driving by this location for a couple years now and have wondered what this restaurant served considering the parking lot is always full! We stopped in to find wings!! Yay! Our waitress came by our table right away introduced herself and took our drink order. She grabbed our appetizer order for Fried Garlic cheese curds. They came out nice and fresh! So good I would go just to order those! We ordered a pizza honey b Que chicken? Sicilian style wings which is garlic parm, honey Dijon and mild wings. The wings were huge! Nice and crispy on the outside, moist on the inside! Now that I've stopped once, I'll stop again for sure! The only downside is the dining area was small and very loud.

Place is great, nice to have a top tier wing option in town. Great service overall, friendly bar staff very attentive. You can just sit there all day and drink ellicotville and hammer wings if you have the time idk seems like something to do. Put the audio on for nfl primetime games! Yikes do not understand that at all.

Total bar food place with TV everywhere and kind of overpriced. Wings are good but not great. Same for the service. Gets very loud inside when busy. Might go back in a while!

We have been going to Bar Bill East since it opened and have always loved it. This last visit we noticed a huge change. Wings were much smaller, chewy skin with a layer of fat ( not crispy as they state) and celery you could bend into a circle. The onion rings are usually large and breaded well. This night the onion rings were thin, less tasty and a small container of sauce. We have recommended Bar Bill to a lot of people and have eaten there many times. After dinner on Friday , we will rethink going back. The quality has really taken a hit .

Had the Beef on Wick, came with potato chips and could not substitute. Ordered onion rings. REVIEW: I paid $16 for a 4 dollar sandwich. Meat was not good, Wegmans has better roast beef. Onion rings were under cooked. To be honest I would give it a no star rating if I could. NO reason to go there if you don't drink. Noisy as well. Service was so-so. I asked for a paper copy of the bill and waitperson she would be right back with it - I never saw it (she didn't return with it)

My friend and I stopped in to Bar Bill on a rainy Saturday around 4:30 PM. Was told to expect a wait - so we were prepared when we were told we were #24 on the wait list (they take your cell number to text when a table is ready). There is a decent sized bar area to hang out and wait. We found 2 seats at the bar and stayed there. FYI- it was about 45 minutes wait until I got the text. But we ordered and ate at the bar. A woman we met said warned us that their hot sauce was "really hot" and suggested ordering medium sauce on the wings. We ordered medium/ and since they don't toss the wings in sauce like others- which can leave a lot of sauce and therefore add to the heat- they paint the wings with sauce so the medium tasted like medium heat. The wings were very crispy- which I like. I ordered 10 wings and my friend ordered the same along with an order of waffle sweet potato fries. All of the food was excellent- though we did order a side of the hot sauce for the wings- which WAS hot! I had the Bar Bill special IPA- made by K2 just down the road- tasty! Bar service was great. I like this place!

The beef on wick is ok, but the meat was very overdone, which is why I say it's ok. For the price, I feel they should include fries, not just chips. For a 2 tablespoon container of gravy for fries that were extra, they charge $2.00. Wings were great, but my beef on wick came out within 5 minutes , French fries, 15 min later and hubbies wings 1/2 hour after that. I hate it when everyone's food comes out at different times. Also , we were there on Wednesday at 12-1:15 and there were only about 10 people there. It was cold, the waitress said the heater was broken and had been for a while. Maybe they are not doing that well , which I hope is not the case. Hope they get their act together and improve the kitchen. It would be nice if they accepted take out orders like every other restaurant. Waitress did take off $8 for the long wait for order. They have some issues to work out . Good luck.

I wanted to LOVE Bar-Bill because I had heard they were voted best wings in Buffalo. Unfortunately, I found them to be just average, maybe a little above average, but I would not call them great. I was with my spouse and another couple. We ordered 4 different kinds of wings and two pizzas. I ordered medium, my spouse got the honey dijon and our friends ordered medium "extra crispy" and mild. The regular medium were fine with a nice slight spice level, but didnt they have that slight crispy crunch texture that I long for and were almost on the edge of "too moist". The sauce was like a buffalo, but had a very slight sweetness (?) that I wasnt expecting, but it was actually delish. The honey dijon had the same texture, the sauce was ok, not much of a honey or a dijon flavor, but and several of the wings were only half covered with sauce and that's a HUUUGE pet peeve for me and a big faux pas in my estimation. Our friend's extra crispy order were virtually the same as my regular order. Not sure of the kitchen forgot, or maybe didnt leave in fryer or bake long enough. The mild were mild with some flavor but still not crispy enough. The homemade blue cheese (NEVER RANCH) was EXCELLENT. The texture was thick enough to stick on to the wings without sliding off and there lots of BC chunks. Yum! The "make your own" pizzas were very good, crust was perfectly done, red sauce was great, but for some reason the cheese in the middle/center seemed undercooked, even though the pepperoni and veg had a deliciously slight char on them. (I wish I had taken a picture) Loganberry drink was great. Not sure if there are free refills on that. Our server, Lauren S, was helpful, friendly and overall excellent. Overall I would def go back for some wings to see if "extra crispy" does anything. I also want tor try the Beef on Weck, fried garlic cheese curds and soft pretzels. Thanks for reading - and please tell me about your experience.

a BIG disappointment! Stopped by on a Monday had a regular Beef on Weck and a small. BOTH served on Weck rolls that were beyond Stale. The Beef was tough and flavorless and GREY, probably as old as the Buns. At these prices you would expect fresh flavorful medium roast beef. Sorry you served something that was far from fresh. Will not be returning.

We decided to go to Bar-Bill after a day of fishing on the bay. We got there about 6 on a Sunday. From the moment we sat down, we felt as if we were burdening the server. We ordered drinks but were not ready to order food, which seemed to be a huge inconvenience. We asked for a few more minutes and quickly decided on our food so as not to upset the server further. Honestly, the food was not bad, but then we received attitude when asking for silverware. Enough to make us question our choice to go here (K2 is right next door). The silverware was thrown on our table, and we did not see our server again until we tracked them down to ask for boxes. They brought our boxes with a check inside. No thought of dessert or even asking if we enjoyed our meals. This was some of the worst service I have received in recent times. I will not be back, and best of luck to anyone who receives this person as their server.

Cajun-honey butter bbq wings, extra crispy, were really good. Jalapeño poppers were more cheese than jalapeño but edible still. I would come back and try other things on the menu.

A Saturday night, not overly jammed or busy. Ordered six items three arrived three did not. After waiting ten minutes or so for the rest of the orders to arrive I asked the nonexistent waitress where the rest of the food was. She checked her handheld device and told us what was missing. Well duh, we know what's missing. Food came three minutes later. Not impressed. Won't go back. I made a mistake and went back to this place for lunch today with my wife and another couple. I thought, what the heck give 'em a second chance. As luck would have it, the food was served at unacceptable different times. And once again we were all unable to eat at the same time. Two of the meals arrived within 15-minutes or so. The remaining two meals arrived 10-minutes later. According to the District Manager who contacted me after my first review said this is typical. Bottom line I'm done with this place. Clearly they DON'T HAVE THEIR ACT TOGETHER. The frosting on the cake is they hand you a handheld device to sign for the credit card transaction with a suggested tip. I only tip when the service is good. I don't reward lousy service.

I was glad to be able to get to Bar Bill East the visiting Rochester this past weekend. They opened after I had stopped coming to the city as often as I used to after a change in my life circumstances. I was not disappointed. I have to admit I thought their wings were better than those I had at Bar Bill North. I am a traditional Buffalo Wing guy, but decided to also order the Cajun Honey BBQ because so many people rave about them. They were good, but plain and simple nothing beats a good Buffalo wing. Their wings are great. Close to the best in Rochester (I'd rate then #2). Their Hot wings actually are Hot. Not overwhelming but you will taste the heat on your lips. Their Beef on Deck is also very good. The roast beef and and horseradish are great. Their Kimmiweck Roll leaves a little bit to be desired. Not enough caraway seeds and salt. But when you are craving a good Beef on Week you will be happy with the quality. The service at the restaurant was amazing and unlike Bar Bill North there is not a long wait for a table or seat at the bar.

We came here on a Tuesday night for dinner and the place was pretty busy for a weeknight, when we left people were waiting to be seated which I thought was crazy. We ordered the wings, bbq pizza and loaded fries. I'm not a wing person so I didn't have any but my husband said they were very good, but because of the price they would be a special treat thing, not regular consumption wings. The fry order was ginormous and we took it home to heat back up in the air fryer. Pizza was good, not too much BBQ sauce so it wasn't overpowering. My first choice was actually the chicken wing pizza but the sauce is a a mixture of buffalo and blue cheese. This pizza also held up as leftovers. The menu is small, which I can appreciate but your options are very limited. The drink menu isn't even that large, not as many local beers like I was hoping for. I mean the place is founded on supporting local food and teams so I would have expected more local beers. I was also surprised to see that you couldn't just swap out cauliflower for wings to make it vegetarian, if you can it wasn't disclosed on the menu that you can. Not sure if I would go back unless a group wanted to go but I know my husband would definitely recommend their wings and go back them.

The flats and drums are generous, respectable sizes. Perfectly prepared, crispy, juicy and delicious. The wing sauces seem to be barbecue based and not overly sweet. Hot is on the upper end of the spice scale. Blue cheese dip is great.

I'm now a Bar-Ball convert. They didn't do much to improve the decor in the restaurant, but this is the spot for wings and beef on weck. They also have some custom craft beers on top. I'll definitely be back again.

Fantastic food and fantastic staff. My boyfriend and I went for lunch during the week and we were SO impressed with how kind and attentive our waitress was! Even the woman who brought us our *super yummy* food, was so friendly. They both made us feel really welcome. I also really like their diverse drink menu. Lots of options to choose from. definitely a place we will be going to often!

came after a month in of them opening. no reservations but when we showed up they had our name on the list gave our number and we were able to follow where we were on the wait list. this helped my anxiety and understanding haha we waiting about 50 minutes which I think is still too long for wings. you can always go in to wait at the bar or the patio in the back where they have the fire pits. after we got a booth the waitress was quick and helpful with our order in what to get. I was actually expecting more flavors to pick from but they were still good and some of them are different from other places. the waitress was sure to mention the sauces were painted on instead of tossed in the bowl. I personally like tossed but the painted on wasn't bad. lots of flavor on the wing. wings came out quick even though they said a half hour and we also got cheesy garlic bread. the wings were flavorful and somewhat crispy, but I've actually had bigger ones elsewhere. I could see myself going back there but not racing to it, maybe for a game

They took my original review down, so maybe I'll add more detail this time. Beef on weck = meh. You'll have a better version at your family reunion at your cousin's house. Nothing special, and not worth leaving the house for. Wings = on par with pontillos or marks or any other mediocre roc chain. So, both buffalo delicacies are a solid 2/10. And then the service. If you want to eat your food hot, you'll have to either rudely eat in front of the other people at your table (who probably won't be served for another 20-30 minutes), or you get to be the person with an empty plate watching your friends chow down on their entrees. And if you say anything about it, they will make it clear that they don't care. This is standard practice for them. It's a bar with bar food. Nothing special about it, though they seem to think it is based on their prices. You probably know some local joints near you that have better food and waaaaayyyyyyy better service. Just go there. Oh and their gimmick? That it's a bills bar? Yeah neat, so is every other bar in rochester. Ambiance? Nope. Zero personality to the place. Maybe the one in Buffalo is good, idk. Duff's in Amherst is great, but when they opened a store in henrietta it both sucked and blew. Maybe it's the same with this place, but I'm not exactly in a hurry to find out after my experiences at this location.

I absolutely love the food here. I found this place purely on accident and have zero regrets. It's some sort of bar/sitdown fusion place so of course it's bar food. It was a fun and surprisingly comfortable atmosphere. I will be back!

We went last night so looking forward to a wonderful meal. Very disappointed-service was friendly but lacking... Service for 5 we had 2 dinners come out and waited at least 25 minutes for the rest of the food. We were told they were told to serve food hot as it came out! Food was mediocre nothing special. Would not recommend this restaurant and WILL NOT be going back!

These were the best wings we have ever had! We went here while we were in town for a few days and the wings were so good, we went twice. Service isn't the best but the wings make up for it. We will be back.
