Can you be a hidden gem if you've been named best sandwich shop in Rochester the last 2 years?…read more Townies has that "hidden gem" feel to it. It is tucked away in the clubhouse of the Soldier's Field golf course - not a place you stumble across, rather a place you intend to get to. And people should intend to get here. The bartender, who took my order, was friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. I sat and watched him greet folks and introducing new customers to the restaurant. He makes a great first impression. I ordered the All-American, a steak sandwich with onions, bacon and American cheese. Nice lean meat and the cook let the American cheese melt through the steak rather than rush it out. The fries were good and served with malt vinegar. The roll is on the crunchy side rather than a soft roll but it totally works. Keep in mind that Townies is a bar. The ambiance isn't romantic but friendly and fun. They offer paper and electronic pull tabs, a pool table and plenty of TVs to enjoy whatever game is on tap.

There may be other influences but those 3 in general cover a lot of styles, each on their own! My person and I shared 2 appetizers. We had Crunchy Wontons with birria (slow roasted beef in a red broth that is then shredded - similar to an American pulled pork in consistency). They had a layer of creamy coleslaw slaw dressing and a layer of corn salsa between the meet and the wonton. Since these were open-faced wantons this was important to keep the balance of each each Wonton 's flavors just right. Oh! The red sauce the meat was in was Kung-Fi Sauce. It was very flavored so in that sense spicy and for me any more of whatever brought the heat might be too much, but this certainly was Master sauce. Steak Fries was the other appetizer. A play on words. French Fries ... extra long, well fried to hold up to the steak toppings and not at all oily. In addition to steak there was guacamole, and another sauce. Huh, I was so dazzled by the excellent steak I can't think of the other ingredients beyond guacamole.. I did end up using a fork to make sure that I got everything onboard the fries But they supplied the forks. I stayed at the Homewood Suites and ordered delivery through Grub Hub. They promised our meal would be there between 17:35 and 17:55. But it arrived at exactly 17:30 t may be relevant to someone to know that my taste buds are very sensitive to any red pepper flakes They cause me to cough whether the finished product tastes spicy or not. I had no problems with any.of their food! Unfortunately, I cannot answer any questions about the restaurant or employees but the food was awesome and timely. They handled special requests like the best of the professionals!

We figured as with most places, that the sandwich would be piled high with meat and kraut. After all, it was $14-15 with a side. To our shock and surprise...the sandwich was thin. Very thin with maybe a spoonful of kraut. I will say, the flavor was not bad. Not enough for 2 people to share. We had coleslaw as our side, do not recommend. Really disappointing.

If you dine-in, you get chips and free sauces which is a fairly new concept to me. We got the 4 tacos and ramen which was more than enough for two. Tacos were flavorful and done well. Ramen looked oily and heavy but it wasn't too bad. The ramen noodles itself was a bit too soft so a thicker brand may have absorbed the noodles better. All minor things. Look forward to visiting again and trying other menu items!

My wife said,…read more"It's pretty day, I wish we could find someplace we could sit outside and eat" She has this fantasy that she lives in Florida where you can eat outside all the time. She was ecstatic to notice this place has outdoor dining. Happy wife - happy life! So yes we ate there(here). Service was prompt and attentive. Very helpful waiter. She wanted the broasted chicken. I said what the heck? Who goes to a BBQ place and doesn't order BBQ. Let's leave! Well, perhaps i said it more politely than that. I'm no fool. But we both decided to eat BBQ Pork sandwiches. They came with fries and a bit of coleslaw for you Carolina people who love to pollute your pure BBQ flavor. Okay yeah... I put it on my sandwich too but that don't make it right. There were sauces on the table to use. Wife says the "hot" one... is really hot! Me? I stayed with original and sweet. The sandwiches were excellent. The fries weren't your average fries you get at a fast food joint. They were seasoned well and were perfect with the pork sandwich. As a side note we wanted the ribs but it was lunch time and we didn't want to spend a ton of money on ribs. We wanted to eat light. Lucky for us, it was 1:45 and at 2:00pm Happy Hour started and we could order individual single ribs. Yes, they made us wait. We finished our sandwiches and ordered at 2:01pm. By 2:15 my stomach told me i was full and I no longer wanted ribs.... but... we ordered them so they showed up a minute or so later..... and even though I was full.... man these ribs were amazing. We only got three of them and gosh, you could taste the smoke on them....They weren't fall off the bone tender which some people like but me? I prefer tender but enough to stay on the bone so i can gnaw them off with my teeth.... they were really good. I'll go back again... after 2;00PM..... and order some ribs as an appetizer to eat while i wait on my Broasted Chicken.

Okra stew, green beans and baked beans. We got the spicy BBQ and the mild BBQ sauce. The spicy actually had a good kick to it. I wouldn't like it much hotter I don't think. The brisket was a pretty thick slice and maybe a tad too fatty, but it was good with the sauce and I brought along some taco shells to put it into. The pork was pretty good, I have had better, but it was good. I think if I had it in the restaurant it would probably be a little better. The baked beans were fantastic, I could tell they weren't straight from a can, the only thing that could help was some hunks of meat. The okra stew was wonderful, not slimy at all, but I am a big okra fan. The green beans were solid and I thought the sides almost beat out the meat. $56 for everything, which wasn't terrible, I have seen worse and we were a hit at the party with a nice lunch for 4 adults. We also brought some Hawaii rolls for people to make sliders, which people seemed to like.
