Best burgers in Greater Rochester area. Meat sauce is solid and fries are always big, one order for two people

Giving 4 stars because this place is iconic and the food quality is good. It has gotten prey expensive lately, so I have to hold one star back. read more

You can't go wrong with a stop at Tom Wahls. Quick food but good quality. I always get the burger and use the buy one get one free coupon off the website. Everything here is good. Worth a stop if your in the area. read more

So disappointed in my sandwich tonight. I ordered the grilled chicken. The first bite and the sandwich fell apart! The chicken was not the usual chicken either. Then I thought the fries are always the best BUT they were stale and dry. read more

The person that took my order was a pleasure. The whole ordering area and the dining room was spotless. Now the grip. Our burgers were tasteless. It was like they were cooked in a steam table. I expected better. read more

This restaurant has great food, but the prices are not cheap. The burgers are made with beef that is ground there at the restaurant. The vibe is that of what you would expect of '50 burger/soda shop. What keeps me coming back is their root beer. It is their own recipe and is served in frosted mugs upon request. Whenever I am in Avon, I make the stop there if only to get some of this wonderful carbonated beverage. read more

Tasty food in a classic neat place to eat. Every time were in the area we stop in for a bite. Just wish they had different fries lol

Tom Wahls in Avon is the original location. The dining room is large, clean and comfortable, with a jukebox and old fashioned feel. The food is good, particularly their fries! The burgers are pretty thin but tasty. The Wahl burger is my favorite with ham, Swiss cheese and a special sauce. They are known for their homemade root beer but they have many other fountain flavors too. There's an ice cream counter too. Be sure to look up their website on your phone and find the "buy one get one" coupon for a free burger. read more

I was just in to pick up a Mexican Sundae, an upstate specialty, which paid off as promised. The crowd was lively and sort of feverish. I watched the burgers roll out, the rings, the universe fried up in front of me. People wanted it so bad they were sweating. I hate my Spanish peanuts and chocolate syrup, men cruised tge parking lot in trump heavy pickups. June. upstate. read more

Absolutely delicious. Will not disappoint!. Typical drive in menu. Place is well organized and clean as spin!I wish I lived closer ,...

There are few constants in life that are good and filled with just the right memories of childhood, teenage freedom. Flat iron burgers, root beer and a nod to a 50's burger soda-pop joint - Tom Wahl's has it down pat. The Hollywood Burger has always been my favorite... still not sure what makes it Hollywood, but it is a solid cheeseburger. Tom Wahls also has their own root beer - and while it does not have the bite that I like in a root beer, it is more special and tasty than what would have normally come from the pop dispenser. That is right, it's pop, cause this is in Western New York. Pop, you crazy soda drinkers. read more

I dont how else to say it, TOM WAHLS ROCKS!!! Food is always perfect and great employees. Always consistent with everything! Come to any Tom Wahls. They are the best of the best! read more

Having made to work here at the age of 14 it would only make sense for me to have a certain disdain for it. However, that is not the case at all. Tom Wahl's is a unique joint in the world of McDonalds, Burger King and Taco Bell. It remains true to it's 50's style theme with neon lights, handmade milkshakes, krinkle cut fries and Tuesday night outdoor concerts in the summer. The food you get here is not the food you get at the aforementioned establishments. You will get a good quality burger, delicious Zweigles hot or even a roast beef sandwich. The soft serve ice cream is still one of my favorite things to get there and the root beer...delicious! (If you need a serious sugar fix that is) They make it in house (or at least they used to). If this is your first time to Tom Wahl's, I suggest a Wahlburger, fry and root beer. They even have combo meals now! The price definitely is not cheap. I went there last weekend and it was $26 for two of us. Be sure to look in the local paper as there is always a buy one get one free cheeseburger coupon. If you go in the summer be prepared to wait in line. read more

Recently stopped at this place for the first time. Fish fry (fish and chips), was excellent. Others tried their Hamburgers, fish sandwich. Everyone was satisfied with the taste, portions were generous. I would eat here again without hesitation. read more

Stopped here on the way through because we heard about the root beer. Go in with expectation of what you are getting. It's a burger diner. Counter service was friendly. 50's style decor Opted for the Wahlburger which had a strange but good sauce on it. Flattop crispy burger , about 1/4 " thick They're the fried cordon blue chicken which again was good. $14 for the meal. Better than BK for the quality. read more

What can u say. Its the original Tom Wahls. Burgers are the bomb, crinkle fries rock, root beer hits the spot, and ice cream is a great way to end the meal. My kids love playing with the old time the juke box. Seating inside is nice and outside is great. Mo complaints other than I wish burgers and fries were good for you :) read more

Probably the best of their locations. I dine here more often than I should and the food is typically consistent. Their root beer is the best I've had, and they make it themselves. I'd recommend the Wahl burger with both Swiss and American cheese. It's one of the best "fast food" burgers I've had. This location has ample dining space both inside and out and is always pretty clean. read more

fish sandwich and orange float, 7 bucks. the sandwich was ok, didnt like the skin on my fish, but hey, thats authentic right? the float was fine. locals love this place, i was just passing through and will not be back until im back in the 585, which wont be for a while. would i frequent another wahl's? maybe, you can check one out, wont hurt... read more

One of the reasons I miss Western NY. The food is unbelievable! I can just taste a steakburger and onion rings washed down by a chocolate shake. I'm from NJ, we have very few venues like Wahl's. Don't get me wrong, we have plenty of great food, but not the same hospitality and what I like to call "socialness". I miss you Tom Wahl! read more

Ordered $90 worth of food and every order was wrong, girl with receding hairline working register closest to the door was terrible.

Stopped here while on a motorcycle ride with my hubby. The food was delicious and the service was fast. If we're in the area again, we will definitely stop again for a bite to eat! read more

A bit pricey but always good. Great decor and nice free summer concerts. Conveniently located.

Hmmmm spent $21 here... the food tasted ok but the burgers were horrible to eat. Sloppy messy and greasy. The plates are the same size as the burgers and your hands get nasty and greasy as you try to pickup your burger in an attempt to eat it. Also eat over the burger as grease and blood pour out of it onto the plate when you take a bite. Midway thru I abandoned the bun and just used a knife and fork. It was terrible. Fries were standard crinkle cuts and nothing special.. And the price of the meal warrants waitress service not fast food service. Totally dissatisfied and won't recommend or come back. read more

Was pretty dang good! Always love going here,people are nice and food is great! I love the white hots.

This place deserves all five stars it is a great family restaurant with many food choices. This place is very large and have many of people to service you. They are all very friendly and the place is very clean. Pricing is very good you can eat inside or outside. Large parking area well lite at night this is a must go to place to eat I will be coming back again when in that area. read more

A staple in the Avon community. Fast, friendly service and delicious food and ice cream. The 55 Junker is one of the best plates in the area. The root beer milkshake is another one of my go-to menu items at Tom Wahl's. Their call ahead take out orders make dinner super easy and they recently launched an online ordering platform too. read more

This is the best hometown burger joint around! Older 60's style theme with awesome fries. Definitely love the frosted mug for their root beer! read more

As a former Avon resident, I stopped at Tom Wahl's while passing through today. I stopped just for the opportunity to have the soft chocolate ice cream which is out of this world good. In the past, I have tried the burgers, fries, onion rings and hots among other items. I found 99% of my dining experiences there were fantastic. I find that their homemade root beer is just a little too sweet for my taste. Bottom line, if your hungry and near Avon, this is a good place to stop. read more

Root beer and a great 50's burger soda-pop joint -. Swiss mushroom burger. It was awesome! Fries done my way at request ......extra crispy! Never disappointed with the Fish Frys. ( take out order) read more

This place is great. A must visit. Burgers are tasty and root beer is always fresh. Great to go in the summer and get a frosty glass for your root beer float. read more

Best cheeseburger around stop in and try it. Very clean and very sanitary. Homemade hard ice cream, hand pressed burgers. Fresh never frozen. Huge amount of Fries! Staff wears gloves when handling any food. Cook time is within five minutes and it's all cooked when ordered never precooked. Always cleaning and always one to beat you to the counter. They make homemade root beer, and it is the best you will ever have! read more

If the last review is right this is the original Tom Wahl's which is very cool because I loved this location. The vibe is cool and old fashioned, the burgers are huge and juicy and the menu has a ton of great choices. The homemade root beer in a frosted mug with free refills is delicious, as is the homemade ice cream. There's ton of seating inside and out so its a great idea to come by anytime of year. read more

Most people love these burgers, but I find them very messy and greasy with little flavor. Now the homemade ice cream on the other hand is so creamy and one of my favs! The onion rings are great too. read more

It was national cheeseburger day, I was driving by one of my favorite places growing up that I remembered eating at constantly when I was a kid, so there was only one solution. Even though it made me 10 minutes late to my destination I pulled in, ordered a cheeseburger and a root beer, and went on my way. The burger was amazing, nice and juicy, big, and not expensive at all. The root beer is homemade and amazing. They have great ice cream, the service is fast, and there is plenty of room to sit down if you have time. One of my favorite places growing up in the area and it still does not disappoint. read more

I don't eat here often, but when I do its always good. Depending on who is cooking will depend on how much greese drips from your food. The onion rings are the best! Most of the staff is very friendly and the place is always clean! read more

Not really my style of burgers but it did the job alright with all the condiments. Lack of fresh handcut fries and poorly maintained seating area will less likely be my number one pick for a quick lunch next time. The name reminds me of a hardware store or something. read more

As a student at Geneseo, I'm so happy I found this place. The food truck has come to campus a couple times as well! It's worth the 10/15 minute drive. The food is so good, especially the fries, and it's served very quickly. There is plenty of clean seating and space. The homemade root beer is a must. read more

This is the original Tom Wahl's that started this local chain. My husband and I stopped here on the way home from Rochester yesterday, after hearing of it's legendary local status. I had the Wahlburger which included swiss cheese, ham and some "special sauce." I upgraded to a meal with their very own root beer (yum!) and fries, and topped it off with a chocolate malt. My husband had the grilled chicken which was also tasty. My heart jumped a little at the price since this is a walk-up joint like BK -$15 for the two of us. The place clearly gets packed as the dining area was HUGE and we were handed one of those light-up coasters to let us know our food was ready. Good road food if you're in the area. read more

This place is very unsanitary and that's just the food preparation areas that you can see from near the registers! Saw trays full of sliced cheese sitting unrefrigerated with a tube from a soda machine resting on top of them and all of this was next to an open top garbage can full to the brim. I saw the staff handle dirty containers and then handle scoops of hard ice cream, like literally used the dirty glove to take the ice cream out of the scoop and press it into a bowl. Needs a health department review ASAP. read more

Worked here as a kid. Food is still delicious. Website always has coupons. Add their meat hot sauce to everything for extra yumminess!
