The decor has the feel of a vintage steampunk era. A very cool place to sit and dine. The burgers were thin like a smash burger and so yummy. Highly recommend the homefries, seasoned and deep fried to perfection. Mac salad was very good, too. Can't wait to visit again and try some other menu items!

Went with husband, on a trip to Lake Canandaigua…read more We both ordered the Yardman breakfast with home fries, onions, and peppers. It also includes 2 strips of bacon, a piece of ham, and a sausage patty. Sounds delicious, but the home fries are not from home, they are likely frozen, and they were way overdone. I couldn't even get my fork into many, and they were so bland. I doused them in ketchup and the "awesome sauce" on the table. No help. The pepper and onions were largely absent.. They were so finely diced, and also overcooked, it was easy to miss. Sausage, bacon, and ham were VERY crispy and a little burnt, but they were still tasty. The eggs were spot on. It came with meat sauce or sausage gravy. Both were very rich. I passed on my meat sauce (too much allspice and/or nutmeg for me). Husband ate his gravy. He said it was sausage forward, with little gravy, but definitely scratch made and good. Full points for that. Coffee was ok, nothing great, a little weak. Now, I will give them credit as we came in at the end of breakfast. So maybe that was it. We got what they had left. The staff was great! I think we missed the mark and should have gone with garbage plates.

My husband and I wanted a no frills place to eat while in the Canandaigua area. Found this on Yelp…read moreand Philly cheese steaks sounded good! I called to make sure they had a place to sit down and they did! The large cheese steak is 16" long so we decided to share one. I also added a side of mac salad. We added peppers, onions and mushrooms to the sandwich. The roll was amazing and found out they are delivered daily from Philadelphia!! The steak was tender and not greasy. We also enjoyed the mac salad. It was a very pleasant experience and the gentleman who took our order was very friendly.

I have not had Mac's since 2020 so I was looking forward to this return visit…read more We were the only customers there on a Saturday afternoon, very quiet. We had a few questions about the menu and the person working was happy to help. My husband asked for meat sauce on his cheese steak and they added this at no additional charge. I was shocked by how much they loaded on there with no fee. He was very happy with his food. I loved my cheesesteak as well. The fries were piping hot and fresh. We forgot how filling the cheesesteaks could be and were not able to finish all our fries. I love the mural in the dining area and the comfy booths. Pricing wasn't too bad. We ordered one combo and one additional cheesesteak and it was around 26 dollars for everything. We loved our visit and hope to visit again soon. 4 years is too long to go without Mac's.

I was so excited to find an authentic Italian deli not far from my destination in Farmington NY. I…read morewas especially intrigued upon seeing they use Boars Head products. So I placed an order for 5 sandwiches to sample. I guess my Philly roots compromises my ability to not judge this kind of stuff against the originals, Philly hoagies. Alas, I still haven't found bread or rolls outside of Philly that deserve to be used on a decent hoagie. (Hoagies and cheesesteaks ARE about the roll, the taste and texture, above everything else.) This place is no different. It's hard to judge what is inside a sandwich made with really awful rolls. Sorry, but wherever these slightly crusty versions of white bread come from...not good. That said, they offer a fair quantity of Italian goods, I guess for this area, I should be happy just find some Cento products. Way better than Dario's in Farmington, but not even as good as very mediocre Jersey Mike's, solely on the basis of comparing the rolls used. If you're starving have at it. Otherwise, just a notch above Subway.

There was some group of visitors who took up the entire outside patio. Banished to inside we were in a very loud environment... with the other refugees... and could not even have a normal conversation.

Haven't returned since.

I visited Charlie Reidel's in Canandaigua today to purchase my dinner. This visit came two days…read moreafter a similar visit to one of those golden arch restaurants in Farmington where I was disgusted by the condition of the restaurant and the inattentiveness of the staff who spent most of the time chatting with one another while debris and food waste remained piled on the floor. After a ten-minute wait at this "fast food" site, I was out the door for the last time! My faith in the future was at least partially restored when I visited Charlie's. While waiting for my order - taken by a cheerful and engaged worker - I observed the workflow in the restaurant and was astounded by the level of effort and competence that I saw in that short period. Although everyone remained busy taking care of the counters and tables, cleaning, tidying up and refilling dispensers, I noticed one young lady who had clearly mastered the art of multi-tasking. While moving from one end of the counter to another to take care of customers, she grabbed a cloth and wiped down the counters on her way. During a few moments of available time, a broom appeared in her hand and the floor was swept clean. As I was observing, I attempted to identify a manager or supervisor and could not do that. That suggests to me that the culture at Charlie Reidel's has evolved to a point where these dedicated employees take ownership of and pride in their jobs. They don't need managers or supervisors standing over their shoulders to force the work to be done. Oh, the food was delicious too.
