We have ate here several times, both when busy (weekend) and during midweek for a late lunch. Love their wings ( Hot!!!, Med-Hot-perfect amount of heat, and Cajun Honey Butter BBQ). Wife like the Chopped Salad (a half salad is enough to share). The atmosphere is sports bar, which is cool but it doesn't interfere with any conversations going on at your table. Our service has always been very good; our waitress let's us know where the kitchen stands with our order and was very quick with our drink order, they are always very friendly and quick to help. By the way we've been to Bar-Bill (East Aurora) which is always busy, so expect a wait, and Bar-Bill North (Williamsville, NY). Both are excellent. read more

We could not wait to try Bar-Bill East. It's in fantastic proximity to my son's college and we LOVE wings. Last night was our first visit. Timing was perfect as we arrived at 730pm as the happy crowd was departing following a big Bills wins (we are Jets fans). Also, should be noted, we are avid MacGregors fans. That the "Hatfield's" to the Bar-Bill's "McCoy's" in the wing story here. Atmosphere was fun, bright, festive and really great to be a part of. Huge space. Terrific feel. Love the decor, the floors, the volume level, and even the plates, napkins and ketchup bottle on the table. Our service was good and even great at times. Maybe because it was after 730 on a Sunday and they were winding down after a busy day - but I feel like we got lost a bit from time to time - but when our server was around, she was a 10 out of 10. Excellent. We ordered their famous wings and two beef on Wecks. The sandwiches lived up to the hype. Can't wait to have them again. The wings were really good. Loved their sauces (we got hot, honey Dijon, and Cajun-butter-BBQ) with extra blue cheese. By the time we got our wings they were lukewarm and dry. They were definitely cooked long prior and then sat in the window for a time. Taste was delicious. No carrot or celery with the wings was a bummer. As were the 2oz soufflé cups of blue cheese. And they don't miss a chance to charge a dollar for each additional. I have no problem with the upcharge. Stuff ain't free. But a dollar for 2oz cup? That's fairly reasonable for 4oz. 2oz is greedy. Atmosphere - terrific. Service - good. Beef on weck - excellent Wings and blue cheese - good. I'll be back. But check out my MacGregors reviews if you want the best in Rochester. read more

We stopped in here for a late lunch/pre dinner snack today after shopping with my niece at Costco for her dorm room. I'm in town for the Bills game tomorrow afternoon, and doing my tour of my favorite places to eat while here. This is now one of the best spots I never got to enjoy growing up, since it's relatively new to the area. Our server was Valerie C, and she was awesome! Friendly, professional, and we never needed anything because she was on top of whatever was happening in her section. Started out with a Bloody Mary and it was delicious. Spicy and salty, perfect just the way I enjoy them. We ordered the pretzel sticks, which come out HOT from the oven and are perfection for eating. Comes with cheese sauce/dip and yellow mustard. 4 to an order, and they're so addictive. The cheese is otherworldly, we had a side with our waffle fries and I'd have eaten the plastic container it comes in if we ran out of fries. The waffle fries were texturally perfect. Crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside. With the cheese sauce it was hard not to order more. We split an order of 20 wings, 10 medium and 10 Cajun honey butter BBQ, which is their special sauce. Now living in Atlanta, where lemon pepper is the big popular flavor besides Buffalo hot- this would be the best and most requested flavor if it was there. Their blue cheese dressing is also Homemade, so good. Had enjoyed it to the point where I knew I needed one more before we even dug in. Valerie C is passionate about her work. She commutes from W NY, near Buffalo all the way here to work. She mentioned loving the bar, the people, and her manager Scott. Really shows dedication and loyalty to be willing to drive 2.5 hours (minimum) round trip for work! Thanks to Valerie and the team here at Bar Bill East for making my weekend trip memorable once again! I'll be asking for her the next time I'm home! Support small owned businesses!!! read more

I've written enthusiastically about Bar Bill in the Buffalo area. I was thrilled to hear they also had a "new" location in Rochester. (I say new because I haven't been in Rochester in three years) I mentioned this to the friends we were visiting and off we went. The hype I gave them was totally accurate as they loved Bar Bill as much as my wife and I did. Three of us had wings (lemon pepper, cajun honey butter bbq) and one ordered a chicken sandwich. We all enjoyed our meals immensely. We must of hit it lucky on a Saturday night because at 7:00, our wait was about ten minutes. Our server said the waits can be an hour or more. Service was excellent. You know you found a good place when your local friends tell you it took a visitor to show them a good place in their own town. read more

It's been a year since our last visit. But the wings garlic cheese curds are still delicious. We sat at the bar and had a wonderful experience due to the excellent service provided by the bartender. She makes the best lemon drop martini I've ever had. Even though she was extremely busy she was attentive and friendly. Definitely visit again! read more

Amazing wings and one of the best beef on weck I've had. Only issue we've ever had here was that it was too busy one night and we were left waiting well beyond the estimated time. read more

After 4 visits, I think I can add an informed review. First visit with 1 other, both ordered wings. Decent food. Second visit, ordered chicken sandwich. Decent. Third visit with 1 other, ordered an app, specialty pizza, guest ordered wings. Food was ok, but the pizza came out much earlier than the wings (10 minutes), and the app arrived last (we probably should have canceled it). Fourth try: 3 diners, all main dishes came out at very random times. Wings were good, beef on weck was ok, and my chicken tenders (which came out last) were like a crispy chicken wing-no tenderness at all. Plus one extra side dish of fries came much later. Waitress seemed to be covering more tables than reasonable, but she was working quickly given her circumstances. Not sure if we'll be going back after 4 tries with inconsistent food quality and the food always arriving at random times. read more

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. read more

What a wonderful surprise here. Hints of your typical bar but once i explored it there was a lot to offer. The folks here are wonderful and you can tell they love this place. Parking is tight. Tighter than expected especially when busy. Food is a great surprise. Tastes wonderful and a change from what we've had. Wings were really fantastic, some of the best we've had in Rochester. read more

We were back in town and I had a hankering for some proper Western NY wings. When we discovered that the original Jerimiahs was closed for renovations a friend suggested this place. We used to frequent it when it was a McGregors. It was pretty quiet on a weekday after the typical lunch hour. We were seated on the outdoor patio since it was nice out and the rain was hours away. It was nice to be outside even though the noise from the highway was very loud. Overall the service was inattentive but the wings were very tasty. Three of us split an order of 20 medium wings. They were very good but wow have they gotten expensive - $35 for 20 wings! Ouch! We also got an ordered a fried cauliflower without sauce and that was good. We understand from our friend that since this place is so large that when busy the service is quite poor but on this day the slowness was not a big issue since we were in no rush... read more

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... read more

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. read more

We came here based on recommendations from several people and happened to be in the area. We didn't make a reservation and the line was out the door but we figured we would wait anyways. They add your name to the list and give you a link so you can check your placement in line. We ordered the fried garlic cheese curds, the beef on weck and chicken wings since those seemed to be what they were known for. The food was good but the wings took a long time, so much so that my husband was almost done his meal before mine arrived. The server also only came by once to check on us and never refilled our drinks. We asked a few times and they kept telling us that they would send our server over but she never came by until we were pretty much done with our meal and by that time it didn't matter. The food was good. The fried garlic cheese curds were delicious and probably the best thing we ordered. The sandwich and wings were good, but nothing amazing to make me want to come back, especially since we were a little disappointed by the service. read more

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. read more

Bar-Bill East - Hot wings - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

Food Shoe string fries - awesome Medium Wings - cooked good but sauce was missing on some of the wings as it appears to be poured over them. Last ones had little or no sauce. Service seemed to be miserable and even the people beside said they won't be back. Set food down and walked away. No plates, condiments or napkins asked or offered and requesting after the fact takes an act of congress. Must say I was looking forward to our 1st visit, but can safely say and 2nd trip will be highly unlikely. Too bad. Good location and facility. read more

Bar-Bill East - Dry medium wings - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

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 read more

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! read more

Bar-Bill East - Well done Cajun dry rub wings, awesome crispy seasoned shoestring fries. Both were enhanced by their homemade blue cheese dressing! - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

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. read more

The food is always good but a tough wing business in Buffalo. So many great wing options. I find the hype is over rated. Which brings my rating down is the lack of service. I have heard this from many others as well. I shouldn't have to go get my own utensils and napkins. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I have loved bar bill forever but am so sad they took the loaded fries off the menu. It was one of the best things. Please bring them back!!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Your food is good but your takeout system is atrocious. The fact that I have to show up to the restaurant and place the order in person, wait for it at the bar, and then pack it up into to go boxes myself after you've plated it is so dumb. All because you won't allow people to call your restaurant and speak to a person. You're missing out on so much money. Just allow people to place orders over the phone or on your website instead of making people waste an hour of their night waiting for you to complete an order that we have to pack up ourselves. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 . read more

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. read more

I don't understand how this place doesn't have more stars. I don't live in Rochester (nor am I from Rochester) but these are the ONLY wings I will eat.
