I don't even know where to begin, this place was excellent. When planning our trip to Seneca Lake,…read moreSmoking Petes was the one restaurant that came up time and time again. It's a fan favorite on Reddit, and our hotel recommended the restaurant as well. When you drive past, there's always a parking lot full of cars for good reason. When you enter Smokin Petes, you place your order and they give you a pager. You can sit at the bar, there's plenty of indoor seating, but I definitely recommend taking advantage of their outdoor seating if the weather permits. Just based on the vibes indoors and out, you know you're in for a treat. Considering it was a Friday, the line to order and amount of cars coming in and out of the lot, our food was ready surprisingly quickly. For a starter we order wings in Alabama white. For our entrees we ordered their two meat combos, both opting for their brisket and ribs. For our sides we tried their mac & cheese, coleslaw, tater tots & garlic parmesan salt potatoes. Everything was excellent. The meat was cooked to perfection - the seasoning. On the ribs had a nice kick. The sides were fresh and definitely not diet friendly. The portions were decent, and we ended up taking home leftovers that made their way back to Long Island. By far one of the best, casual, places I've gone to eat.

The kids tried broccoli salad had a nice flavor but I had mostly the hard parts and not much the flurets. Mac and cheese was good, salt potatoes are assume. My husband liked the slaw, thou he likes it with pineapple. He was not overly thrilled with mac salad. Drinks I tried were the blueberry smash. Very tasty. Not that thrilled with the peach drink that was 25 dollars. But I drank it. Tastes more like a Ice tea drink. Service is good. They take your order at the bar with a designated area to wait in line. Give you a buzzer to pick it up at the window. They have a condiment area to get soda, utensils, sauce sides and so on. They have seating inside and out side. You can play with games they have set up. Inside it decorated with old and new signage. They have a book of bourbon selection. Bar stools chairs and tables,booths and high top tables. People clean up after themselves. Kid friendly. People are friendly. Most of the times we went they were busy or at least a steady flow of customers. If you get a chance to stop here to eat you will not ve disappointed!!

As we approached the front door I noticed a poorly written note stating pets not allowed. I entered the restaurant with my trained service dog and we didn't quite reach the bar when the bartender angry yelled "can't you read the sign, no dogs"! I calmly answered that I'm bringing in my trained service dog, not just a pet. I was told by the bartender to leave the restaurant before he calls the owner who will bring his dog and force us to leave. Johnson's is breaking NY state law and the Americans with Disabilities Act by discrimination against service dogs, not to mention I am a combat veteran with PTSD

My husband ,and I went in today to get wings and the very lovely Jennifer took care of us. She was absolutely sweet ,and personable. We have to tell you that these wings might be the best Rochester has to offer. We ordered the Garlic Parm wings,and let me tell you they were so crispy that you can hear the crunch when you bite into it The place has a very hometown vibe, in addition we ordered the cauliflower pizza and it's the best I've ever had since living in Rochester honestly. We love wings and I am gluten-free that is definitely a plus because they had a few options on the menu which I greatly appreciated. We highly recommend stopping by here and checking out all the goodies.

The service was inattentive and food was mediocre. Everything seemed previously frozen. When the Buffalo Bills came on at 8pm, all the tables tried to get closer to their small outdoor bar with a few extra high tops. All the waitresses left and those of us left outside were asked to go inside to order. The outdoor bartender was also inattentive and planned to leave shortly after the game started. I would suggest not advertising yourself as a sports bar or having Bills events if you're not going to staff your outdoor area on a nice summer night

The ambiance of the restaurant was nice, with some soft music playing, and sports on the TV. Our server was over within minutes to take our drink orders. We ordered the mozzarella half moons and an order of chicken wings as appetizers. The mozzarella half moons were not too great. They did not have much flavor and they tasted kind of old. But, the chicken wings were the star of the show. We got the Cajun gold sauce and wow... it was so good. There wasn't much of a Cajun flavor to it, but it had this tangy sweet flavor to it that made your mouth salivate. And the chicken wings themselves were fried to the perfect crisp. I ordered the turtle plate with cheeseburgers, french fries, and mac salad. The cheeseburgers and French fries were cooked well. The mac salad was lacking flavor and was just kind of watery. The meat hot sauce atop the plate had too much of a cinnamon flavor for me, that kind of ruined the whole plate for me. My dad order their special fried oyster po boy, which he said wasn't too great. He said the fried oyster were kind of cold, and they were put on a plain roll. My mom got a burger, which she said was a fine burger. I definitely will be back in the future at least for those wings, and to probably try some of their other food.

But the cheese curds are EPIC!!! I have yet to have a bad meal; the cooks are absolutely amazing and incredibly talented. And the service is absolutely perfect. They manage to find the perfect balance of personable and friendly yet not annoying or too much. They have a lot of people who play pool there regularly which is interesting to watch, and can be quite funny and entertaining. Drinks are reasonably priced and delicious and it has a definite hole in the wall-dive bar feel but a top tier staff who clearly know what they are doing. I heard there's been a change in management or ownership and all I can say is HALLELUJAH!!! Because they are my favorite spot and I cant say enough good things about my new home away from home.

We wanted to treat ourselves and orders the prime rib and the rib eye. Although the mashed potatoes were good, we were rather disappointed in the bland vegetables. They were truly a side dish, not given much thought or effort. Unfortunately the main event, the prime rib and rib eye were not seasoned at all (thankfully I thought ahead for the request of double onion and mushrooms). After trimming the excess fat from the end of the rib eye, the main portion was a good cut, well marbled and I was able to take it home, chop it up and season it for a yummy breakfast steak wrap for my husband. Honestly, we struggled to give the meal a 3 or 4 because the base skills were there and the server was so polite. It was a satisfying meal, but not one we would crave.

Bartender was friendly but when asked questions about a few things did not know the answer. Service was slow. Probably because one person in the kitchen & the bartender only for the tables & bar. If you have a new place of business wouldn't you want to make a impression on people? Food was average nothing to rave about but I will say it did come out hot. The portion for the rice bowl was way to small for the price. For 4 people with one person only having a side of fries the bill was $68!!! Place was clean & hopefully they can keep it that way. I'll head back here in a few weeks to see if it has improved after having some time to get their feet wet as a new business.
