Found this spot an hour away searching for good spots to eat along the way. Street parking could be hard to find if during a busy time. Lots of good food selections to choose from. I was going to order a chicken parm but had that for dinner the night before so went with a meatball. Gf went with a veggie grinder. Took maybe ten minutes for it to be ready and we went across the street and sat at the table of the other business that was closed. We both enjoyed our sandwiches. She didn't want any of the carrot cake so I meowed that down. Definitely a place to pop in if traveling through!

If you order the drinks, the bartender ( name is slipping my mind), makes an amazing ;heavy handed , bourbon old fashion.

I'm a sip club member at Panera, so I thought oh "OK I'll get something to drink". It seems like they have limited drink options here. As in no sodas, or no sodas the day I was here. It's also an interesting process where It's like a pick up window format. There is tons of seating all the way around though, and it did seem like people were very happy with what they ordered. 3 stars for this large chain. I default chains to 3 stars as they must be A-OK to expand as they have.

Different than my home state of Nebraska. Anyway, stopped by the Panera to do some sleuthing on my Ex-co-worker's ex-husband and his "cousins" staying at the hotel(??). Got the bread bowl, but they wouldn't put the salad in it. So much for health!! Instead, I got the ambiguous bisque. It was ok, I like WaWa better for bisque. Gotta make it to the west Atlantic to get better bisque. Anyway, good ice tea made me jittering.

My son enjoyed his Connecticut roll. I had the California lobster roll with avocado and wasabi crema. So good. They come with house made chips seasoned with Old Bay. Very good. Not greasy. Next time I want to try the lobster tots. They have a cooler with soda, beer, and wine minis, as well as a slushy machine. Service is fast and friendly. Lots of outdoor seating. The location at Olcott Beach is great. It's right by a small ferris wheel, and in walking distance to the shops, beach, carousel park, and Krull Park. A great addition to the town.

We ordered the lobster flight to split, were given a buzzer and told it'd be about a 35 minute wait. It was nearly a 35 minute wait down to the minute! The rolls were loaded with lobster that was cooked perfectly! My boyfriend liked the Connecticut roll best (just buttah) and I liked the Olcott Fire roll best (calabrian chili butter); the New England roll (lemon chive mayo) ranked last for both of us. We did not think $36 was a crazy high price for the trio. There is an extra charge (I think it was 3.5%) for using a credit card. Cash is king!

Unfortunately the waitress belonged in a diner, she was not very attentive, ordered the special and was served with one plate perfectly displayed and the other sloppy. At $60 a plate it should have been fixed prior to arriving to our table. Wait staff traffic was very distracting going from one room to another, I think their up to catering 3 rooms (too much) and loosing sight of the fine dining experience that we so loved when we found this place. We will definitely take a break from making a future reservation with hopes management really takes a look at the less than positive reviews of this establishment before it really goes down hill.

The veggie calzone was taken off the menu but they made us some anyway, sadly the frozen veggies they used were soaking wet and make the entire bottom crust mushy and completely unappealing.

I stopped at this Checkers on Friday night for a quick dinner while heading to Queens. I haven't been to a Checkers in well over a year so it was a little treat. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger combo with fries and got some mozzarella sticks as well because it's a 7 hour drive and wanted to feel shame the rest of the way. The food didn't take all that long to come out and before you know it we were back on the road. The burger itself was pretty average and didn't leave much of a lasting impression, it served its purpose though. I'm a fan of the checkers fries and those were up to par. The mozzarella sticks which were called "monsterella sticks" wet slightly larger then a French fry and tasted about as good as eating uncooked cheese wrapped in bread......basically they were pretty bad. I'm not sure where the term "monster" comes from in describing small and undercooked mozzarella sticks but these are not something I would ever want to try eating again. Plus side, they do have ordering screens which gives you the ability to scan the menu and pick and choose what you want. Overall, this is a pretty typical fast food place in a rest area. Expect to pay way more then you should for good and get lackluster service.

Maybe I like that you can get a mini one for $2. I have no idea. The shakes at this location didn't do it for me. The prices are higher than at other Checkers. In the old days we thought that stopping at Pembroke Rest Stop was one of the highlights of going to Rochester. A few Checkers burgers and shakes later, we have realized we were wrong. Once the staple fast food of our trips to Florida, Checkers has infiltrated WNY, and so be it, given they are open until 3am or something ridiculous. This location, though, is not. Service, food, prices all not so good. Stick to the non-thruway locations. And if you have an attitude, Checkers it at the door.
