    Biscuits
    Victoria M.

    Came on a cold Saturday morning in the winter and waited about 20 minutes or so. Parking sucked - very busy plaza. Lobby area is a bit cramped but has long seating and some high tops while you wait. Cannot really see inside the restaurant while you wait. The dining area has a ton of booths and a large impressive bar. Tall ceiling and airy calming colors. Our waitress was friendly and put up with our requests for more butter/jam/pop throughout our visit. She was attentive and checked on us a lot. Menu is big but not overwhelming - need to come back again to try something else. Got the biscuits as an app and they were amazing, Huge portions - warm and fluffy. But the butter/jam ratio to the biscuits were off - be sure to order extra. Southwest benedict is what I ordered and it was great. The egg was perfectly poached and ooey gooey. Again big portions. Food came out very fast. Waitress came over with a tablet and checked us out. That always feels awkward to me - the waitress lingering while I figure out in front of them how much to tip. She later warned us that we overstayed our welcome. She said when they have wait times - you need to leave after 90 minutes. I noticed later the bill indicated this but we could not see the lobby and the people all waiting either. She was nice about it and said her boss or someone told her to tell us to leave essentially. Kind of tacky. I get need to turn tables over especially when people are waiting. But still a little tacky. Will be back to try something new and be sure to set my stop watch for 90 minutes.

    Beignets. Wow. Super fluffy, soft inside and crispy outside; delicious dipping sauces: chocolate, caramel, and Nutella (fave).

    Logistics. Located on the SW corner of Rochester Road and Tienken in Rochester. Busy lot parking. Vibe. Elite-ish. Seems to be a place to see and be seen. Elevated menu than your standard coney island locales. Thank you. Music was pumping. Lots of light. Modern decor. Christmas decor since it was of that season. Offerings. Full bar. Finally, refreshing to see interesting takes on traditional breakfast menu items and prices reflect that. See pics that say more. Quite delicious. Hospitality. Friendly, timely, accomodating. Handheld ordering devices to pay on the spot, awkwardly. Slightly felt rushed. Of Note. Clean and stocked loo. Would recommend for special occassions.

    Cajun Chicken Sandwich

    Visited for the first time on recommendation from a friend and loved the ambiance and the crowd. The restaurant doesn't take reservation and we had a wait time of 35 mins at around 11:30 AM on a Saturday. Once we were seated, the service was prompt and polite. The menu has an extensive selection of drinks , breakfast and lunch options. We ordered the cajun chicken sandwich, mushroom Egg Benedict and lemon ricotta pancake. I liked the entrees but pancakes I have had better. Prices and portion sizes were average and we ended up finishing all our meal without having to take any to go boxes. What stood out for me was the drink selection ( mocktails and alcoholic beverages) and the vibrant energy. Will visit again for the same :)

    Bloody Mary

    The French bar is a classy modern looking place that serves brunch and other meals. Their bloody Marys were decent. We had a mixed experience with the food. My companion ordered a salad, and she was really pleased. I ordered the tofu scramble and was really disappointed. For one, it was not a scramble, it was more like a stirfry with individual chunks of Topher. The bigger issue was that it was incredibly salty. I like salt but the balance in this dish was so off. It was practically in edible. I would give this restaurant another chance, I just wouldn't order that dish again

    Great atmosphere, clean, and good service. Prices are on slightly high but usually worth it. Beignets are awesome!

    Short Rib Grilled Cheese and Espresso Martini

    I can't remember how I found out about The Brunch Bar. But I've been following them on Facebook for over a year. Today, I finally went for brunch, and it did not disappoint. It was very busy, so I sat at the bar (which I prefer anyway). The servers were all very attentive and nice. When the plate was placed in front of me, I was shocked at the amount of food. Although I only ate half, it was absolutely delicious. The couples on each side also spoke how they enjoyed their food as well, especially the croissant beignets. I made sure to order some to go. I also love the decor as it was very modern and allowed a lot of natural light. I will definitely be returning.

    I love this place the food is always amazing. I live near their other location it's a different name and the food is always top tier. I was shocked when I found out they have the same owners lol. They are absolutely amazing the service and ambiance is great. I was like the food has to be good. It definitely is. But I had the standard breakfast with pancakes delicious. Pancakes are so moist, the turkey sausage patties are great. Today I ordered the chicken and waffles I was skeptical at first but chicken thigh was moist and packed with flavor. I don't live near here but every time I'm out here I try to stop by. Definitely worth the price. Check them out

    Bloody Mary $14

    Met a friend for brunch here. Bar seating is first come first served. We decided to wait for a table. They said 20 min, it was less. The menu is huge. I knew I wanted coffee so the Brunch Bar Coffee stood out to me. It's basically an Irish coffee. It was good. Next up was a Bloody Mary. I've definitely had better. It was weak on the alcohol and their mixer is more on the tomato side. I do appreciate their garnish though! I asked for medium spice. It was pretty mild. For brunch, I had the croque madame. It was on the specials menu. My friend had the avocado chicken club sando. We both had the dressed greens as a side. Everything was delicious. The dressed greens were not soggy. The dressing is a bit sweet and fruity. The croque madame had a perfectly runny egg on top of bread with lots of bechamel sauce and cheese. I wished the bread was a little more toasty. There are so many other items I want to try like the short rib Benedict, the salted caramel Croffel, the wild mushroom omelette, lemon ricotta pancakes, I could go on! Service was great. Bathrooms were clean. Parking was plentiful. The don't take reservations. I would eat here again.

    Deviled Egg Flight
    Dave W.

    Excellent brunch spot! The menu has a huge selection of outstanding choices. We started with the deviled eggs which were very unusual and delicious. I had the banana bread French toast, which was a unique dish that I enjoyed. My wife had the cinnamon swirl pancakes and really enjoyed them. Big credit to the staff...they were turning tables at an impressive speed on a busy Sunday morning! Also...our server Shay was great!

    Arrived after 10:15 AM. There's a line outside. 20 minute wait for two, ok. We put our name in to wait outside. We were seated by 10:20am, not too bad. It's a big place inside and there's a back patio too. Ordered a coffee with side of oat milk, green tea, tofu scramble with biscuits, huevos rancheros with turkey sausage, beans on the side, eggs over hard and yogurt parfait. $53.35 Their berry stuffed French toast and the quinoa power bowl also sounds really good as well. My eyes want to eat more than my body likely wants and I do love a variety of foods when I eat as well. My Korean in me that wants every meal to have banchans? The jasmine tea was weak with a cups worth of hot water. The huevos rancheros and tofu scramble are quite good, super tasty on their own. The Huevos was even better with cholula added to it. The beans have little minced pork in it, not for me. The yogurt parfait is good, bits of fruit and granola. Their biscuit was freshly baked, came after we were mostly done with our meal. The biscuit was flaky, billowy and good alone, better with honey drizzled on it. The food is yummy and good. The service was so-so. Some delays with food items and the bill and our waitress didn't seem warm or friendly.

    Mushroom eggs benedict
    Aminah K.

    Tried this place for the first time today. The space is clean and modern. They have a huge selection of breakfast/lunch items. They also have a seasonal menu. We tried the mushroom ricotta omelette, mushroom eggs benedict and salted caramel croffle. Everything was delicious. The croffle was exceptional. I hope they put it on their permanent menu. Shout out to our waiter Giorgio who was so attentive and friendly. The place gets very busy and they don't take reservations. Our food came out fairly quick once we put in our orders.

    Holiday drink menu

    This used to be a Big Boy until it finally closed abruptly some time ago. Eventually, Brunch bar moved in and what a nice addition to the community it is! I've eaten here twice now, and it's really between three and four stars for me. The menus pretty extensive with breakfast, brunch and lunch ticket items that have hearty servings at a premium price. They have loads of beverages to choose from, including mimosas and many other drinks to start your day off right. The first time I ate here I went with the Huevos Rancheros, but didn't really love it so I didn't write a review. I finally made it back today and went with the corned beef hash with eggs, pancakes and hash browns. Overall the food was good and even though it's a tad expensive, worth the time. It can get sort of busy here, so if you go during peak times, please be prepared to wait. I was lucky to get a seat at the counter since it was just me today. I do love how the place and how it's decorated, just not my preferred breakfast spot since I already have my favorites locked in.

    Pumpkin French Toast

    I had a great brunch here today! They don't take reservations, but I was seated right away. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was casual and friendly. This is a great option to have a fun brunch with friends.

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).

I believe both are remade from former churches (at least Saint 1881 was). RBH has an airy, modern feel with modern chandeliers with a decor that reminds me of an upscale hotel, but still manages to be casual and comfortable. My only drawback was the noise level. With the tall ceilings it was quite loud. It isn't he largest of places, but not a cafe either. Service was excellent, though it was difficult to hear our soft spoken hostess and server. Our server was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Street parking is available, along with a couple nearby parking lots, but they are metered (free on Sundays). My wife wasn't very hungry so she opted for the Chia Pudding and had my toast. Myself, I went for the Chicken Scramble, and it was next level for a scrambled egg dish. Whatever the seasoning was it was absolutely unique and delicious. I couldn't quite make out what it was. We willl be back and absolutely try some other items on the menu.

They have a bar area to sit at along with plenty of tables which we got to choose from when seated. I love how it's decorated here, it really added to the ambience. I went with the Huervos Rancheros and my mom got a veggie omelet. Both had generous portions and overall, were quite good. My mom enjoyed her meal and I tried her diced potatos. They were good but could've used some seasoning. My Huevos Rancheros was good, but a bit on the colder side, like it had been out for a while. I will say, they were able to substitute the Chirizo with Chicken, which was just okay. Not bad, just average. Overall I enjoyed my time here and the prices match the food portions along with the ambiance of the place. Staff is very friendly and professional, and it was really good food.

The pork chop itself was incredible, and the beets were a unique spin. My friend got the short rib and said it was amazing. We both really enjoyed the soup as well. Ambiance was lively, but we were disappointed it wasn't really decorated for the holidays - just really plain inside. Since the location is right on main street, parking is limited. All this said, I would return just for the food.
