    I do not know what took me so long, but I have been missing out on this place. You never really know if a place is good, even if it is posted here with a lot of great reviews or bragged about on social media but I knew this place would be worth the hype when I arrived and saw the line out the door. We came here on a Saturday on Mother's Day weekend and it was packed. They told me about 20 minutes, but it was more like 10. They seem very efficient here all the while not rushing people out to get in the next set of customers. The food and drinks also came out in a good time, so being busy did not keep them from running well. It is also a bit pricy here, but the food and portions are delicious and well sized. I love the ambience. It is modern and bright in here. The people working here all seemed very nice, professional, helpful, they provided great service. I did start off with the espresso martini. This was the low point of the meal. While it looked nice and had a great strong coffee flavor, it had zero sweetness whatsoever and did not improve with cream and sugar added. I would put it at the bottom half of my drink around the world espresso martini quest. But, the other drinks quite made up for it. The pomegranate mimosa and plain mimosas were wonderful. I would order both of those again. Just the regular mimosa alone was nice and seemed like a must order item. I would recommend those. One child got a smoothie which was nice and the other a beautiful tiramisu latte that was beautiful and came with a lady finger and mascarpone cream on top. My husband just got the coffee which was standard and nothing special. I love a sweet and a savory for brunch, so I ordered the fruity pebble pancakes. The batter was so lovely and sweet. I loved the bits of fruity pebbles in the batter and the sweet cream on top. I also got a chicken tender biscuit with the siracha maple on the side. It came with a nice salad, which a good dressing, but I also used the siracha maple sauce to dress it up a bit more, and it was very tasty. The biscuit also had gravy and cheese. Both of those items had nice portions and it took two people and three meals to finish it all, which is a good deal, I like nice portions. Two people got the tiramisu pancakes and one got the Monte Cristo. Everything was fabulous. I would love to come back. I think I would get the pancakes again, so well made and delicious. I would also like to try their wrap sandwiches. They looked amazing.

    We've returned for another brunch at Rochester Brunch House. The atmosphere is welcoming, as is the staff. It was bustling, since it was late morning on a Sunday, but we must have timed our arrival perfectly because we didn't wait long for 2 seats at the bar. We had a really good vantage point of what was going on in the back of the house as well as the server station, which we faced. The team was hard at work and I appreciated my server who watched my coffee cup and checked in 3 times to refill it, despite having phone duty along with serving the other bar patrons. I had the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes and a Side of Bacon and hubby had the Breakfast Quesadillas. The bacon is thick sliced and was cooked to perfection - fairly crispy but chewy. The pancakes were sweet and flavorful - they were light on the cream cheese frosting which was good for me although I would have been happy with more. The quesadillas were very good - lots of flavors in every bite. They serve it with ranch dressing and salsa. Hubby asked for more salsa - we were charged $2. That was extremely high, in my opinion. I could see 50 cents or so but $2 was not appropriate for how much they serve. The service here is excellent - everyone is hustling but with a smile. It's high on the pricing but the food is good. We'll be back - just not ordering anything extra in the future. Lol

    The best brunch in Rochester!! RBH is always busy, attesting to how popular and quality the restaurant is. The service is perfect, the atmosphere inside is great and on a nice summer day, eating your brunch on their patio is everything you could want. Every item on the menu is thoughtfully made and tastes phenomenal. A must visit for every brunch fan in the metro Detroit area.

    Beautiful interior decor

    A must do every time my daughter and I are back in MI visiting. Such a lovely restaurant inside and out, with great brunch specialties and great specialty lattes. One of our favorites is the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict, which is amazing and at a price that is approachable indulgence. I prefer my eggs hard boiled and they, unlike many others, always get it right. The holiday decorations are always festive yet tasteful and the interior decor is like an impeccably decorated home.

    Brunch House Vodka mule was delicious! I'm making this refreshing drink from now on.

    The food and drinks were very good. The waitress was nice didn't see her a lot tho'. It's a small place but very clean. The price point is decent we had a party of 6 and the bill was $200+ with a 20% auto gratuity.

    This is a pretty place for breakfast and brunch in downtown Rochester. I ordered the chicken scramble with sourdough bread, and it was really delicious, especially the bread! Service was slow, but I went on a Sunday noon, so it was busy. Servers were nice, but my family and I waited for 30 minutes for our food to come out, which is why I took out a star. We ate outside and the weather was very nice, and the scene was peaceful and quaint. There's paid parking, except on Sundays, and you may have to drive around a bit to find a spot depending on when you go.

    Absolutely delicious! We met with a small group today and were absolutely delighted with our choices. The brunch menu is expansive, and there is literally something for everyone. The restaurant is super cute and located in a renovated church. Love the decor and homey feel inside. Service is also prompt but not rushed. The food was wonderful. We tried the French toast, Nutella pancakes, monte cristo and breakfast burrito. All were delicious, large portions and attractively plated. It was a very satisfying meal, and we'd recommend coming here again for sure.

    Baja omelet

    Amazing breakfast spot. We stopped here again and tried the breakfast quesadilla, RBH omelet, huevos rancheros, and stuffed strawberry French toast. The breakfast quesadilla and huevos rancheros are very similar dishes. Both were absolutely spectacular. I would definitely come back and get either of those. The French toast was good but I prefer the cinnamon roll pancakes. Always a great breakfast.

    The service here is SO good! They go above and beyond to make sure everything is correct for my order, the servers are always refilling my coffee, and the food is fantastic! The ambiance at RBH is one of a kind. I cannot remember her name, however she is somewhat of a hospitality lady. She goes around and just talks to people, making sure everyone has what they need. She is one of the best when it comes to brightening up anyone's day!

    I have enjoyed breakfast here several times and it is nice sitting at the bar and seeing the sunlight enter the dining area through beautiful windows in this space that was previously a church. It is also a great place to sit as I like viewing so many of the various menu offerings to consider in future visits as the server traffic to deliver orders from the kitchen travel through this location. The Eggs Benedict is very tasty and the RBH omelet is a nice portion and also delicious. If you like something sweeter, I suggest trying some of the fluffy pancake offerings that have fruit and fancy toppings. I have been fortunate to have been served by multiple servers who have all been kind and friendly. Even the manager (owners' mother) often has greeted me as well and she is very nice, welcoming, helpful, and friendly.

    french toast and fries

    To no surprise, had an amazing visit at RBH! We went on a weekday to avoid the rush/line that accumulates on the weekends, and even though we went pretty late in the afternoon (close to close) the service was fantastic! I got my usually nutella crepes and they were of course delicious. My friends opted for the tater tot bowl, breakfast burrito (don't remember the specific one, but it's pictured below), and classic eggs benedict and everyone loved what they got. Everything is so flavorful and well made. Also very random, but they have mouth watering frappes, I don't know what it is, but everyone got one and loved. This is my go to spot to take friends and family visiting from out of town - the service, decorations, food, everything is great! Will be back!

    Basic breakfast

    We were seated immediately, the place isn't huge but decorated very nicely and we had enough space where we didn't feel like we were sitting on top of each other. I ordered the maple chicken biscuits with breakfast potatoes and the man mosa with pineapple juice instead of orange. The biscuit was delicious, so fluffy and the chicken was seasoned perfectly. I also sampled my friend pancakes and omg they were so fluffy and buttery!

    Is this the place that has bottomless mimosas?

    I don't believe so. They do, however, have several yummy flavor options!

    Do they take reservations?

    They do call aheads but they only put your name down, they're super busy on weekends so I'd go early.

    Are there any vegan options here?

    Yes, oatmeal with bananas-blueberries-granola- honey. Granola with yogurt or fruits. Great salads… Read more

    Is it hard to get in on Saturday morning around 9am?

    Yes and there isn’t anywhere inside to wait. We usually drive by and if they are smashed against the door we go somewhere else. It’s delicious and worth the wait but there isn’t anywhere to wait.

    Anyone have any idea of the nutrition content of the menu items?

    I believe that they are not posted on the menu.

Awkward foyer so it is hard to find a spot to sit or stand and wait for your table. A little awkward staring at the people eating at the tables while you wait for a table for yourself. We usually retreat to the back of the restaurant there is a little hallway before the restroom that has a line of chairs in order to get out of the way from the front door. The decor could use a little makeover but at the same time it does give a warm grandma's kitchen vibe. Single stall bathroom in back is ok - feels a little grimey though. Menu has both breakfast and lunch. Be sure to get the fresh squeezed orange juice - it is a pricey treat but so worth it. They also have specials that are written above the kitchen so be sure to check those out. Staff are great and working hard hustling back and forth between tables and the kitchen. Never feel neglected or that they are too busy to check in. Food is awesome! Had a little but of everything but the quiche was my favorite. Portion sizes are great (other than the fresh squeezed OJ).

We were around 25 mins late but we had let them know and they accommodated it. On the main street rochester, we had a little trouble with the GPS. The restaurant sign is little small but it is next to paint creek tavern which is easier to spot. The ambience is lovely with various seating options- cozy sofa seats with creek view around fire ( only side tables, mostly for after dinner drinks) , normal seats still with a creek view and bar seating. The menu has some great options too along with vegetarian selection. We ordered Pikilia as appetizer which is an assortment of 3 dips with Pita and was awesome. Portion size was good for sharing among 3. For main course, we shared grouper filet and hot honey chicken and a side of orzo. The Grouper came with a side of couscous and every thing was delectable. I thoroughly enjoyed my Lemon drop martini. For dessert we had chocolate cake with raspberry which was little denser than I had anticipated but good overall. Our server Tony was extremely polite and graceful and made the overall experience more pleasant. I highly recommend this place for a cozy fine dine or even a date night.

We were all so pleasantly surprised -- I'm writing from the following morning and I'm still amazed at the change of this place! I ordered a couple apps -- the Brussels sprouts and the boom boom shrimp. The Brussel sprouts were a touch over for me with the meat not quite being crispy enough, but that didn't stop the rest of my table from finishing them. The boom boom shrimp was delicious -- I found the spice-level completely appropriate for something I'm expecting to have 'a touch of spice' while my husband found zero spice. Would order the shrimp again. They did away with the breadbasket of yesteryears and switched to real, cut, French bread with whipped butter! I had the French onion soup which came last to the table and I wasn't mad at that as it was HOT -- thank you! My friend ordered the tuna on sourdough which was perfect with beautifully crispy fries. And my husband ordered a giant burger, that had the perfect cook on it! Overall, we had a lovely time. The wait staff were also extremely delicate and respectful in nudging us to let us know there was a massive line waiting for our table (something we didn't realize as we were chatting and catching up).
