    Chocolate almond was yummy!
    Joanne R.

    We asked locals where to eat reasonably around Avon and this place was suggested. It was very busy on a Thursday evening. I just love the 50's vibe with the vinyl seating and chrome. We both chose the cheese burger with a side of macaroni salad. Normally at a fast food place you cannot get a burger medium rare but here you can. I was surprised it was not over cooked and was tasty. The Mac salad was kinda bland but ok. We split one of their homemade hard ice creams(chocolate almond) and it was amazing! Big portion for a small and loaded with roasted almonds. So many almonds we were in heaven. I would definitely come back if in the area (especially for the ice cream).

    "There's diamonds in the sidewalk the gutters lined in song Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man Who will make his home in the American Land" (Bruce Springsteen) What's the quintessential American food? Probably burgers and hot dogs, right? Well since 1955 Tom Wahl's has been dishing them up alongside chicken, fries, rings, and more at their seven Western New York locations. We had a great $23 lunch for two yesterday - a cheeseburger, a Texas Red Hot, fries, and drinks. The Zweigle Red Hot was mine, and it was served split with relish, onions, and ketchup. I can't tell you how good it was! The ordering process was a snap. We ordered at the counter, got a buzzer and our cups for the soda, and within a few minutes the buzzer buzzed signifying our food was ready. What a fun, inexpensive, and very yummy lunch!!

    What a delicious chocolate milkshake to go with a grilled chicken sandwich complete with tomatoes and lettuce made a yummy lunch upon my visit to my former home area. The staff is friendly and food is hot and tasty. Only one suggestion...a bigger plate would make it simpler to pick up the sandwiches. It is messy to eat, but so tasty!! We always enjoy the &50s diner setting and music too.

    My boyfriend and I were in town, and he had recommended to check out this place, as it was on his former truck route, and heard locals rave about it, but never had opportunity to stop. They were well-staffed , not a super long wait, larger then anticipated burgers, overall amazing food and larger portions for a fast food burger place.

    Growing up in Rochester, Tom Wahls was a great place to go. Since moving to Buffalo we just don't get there that often. So I was very happy when invited to a wedding and finding out that they were catering the event. The menu was limited but included the most important items. Obviously their cheeseburger, their version of a garbage plate, root beer floats, and ice cream, plus a few other items. I had the cheeseburger and fries followed by a dish of chocolate ice cream. Just seeing the cheeseburger made my mouth water! The burgers are thin, which prefer but huge and covered with gooey melted cheese. Then topped with their meat sauce! Not sure if their ice cream is their own but was delicious. I know others raved about the root beer floats. Only slight disappointment was the fries, not bad but nothing special. Best part was the service. Quick and friendly. They even before departing left out a plate of food for the dog. Even had his name on it! Though I didn't get a picture. Good job Tom Wahls! 2022-62

    HOLLER UP AT TOM WAHL'S... Today is pretty busy for 'em. Long line but cashiers are doing fabulous job to keep it going! High fives to 'em! Food send out at good timing in nice pace. Very impressive. I got bacon cheeseburger, coleslaw & cheese curds. I asked for multi grain buns & it did. Awesome!! Bacon cheeseburger w/ multi grain buns is pretty good. Coleslaw is kinda ok & not too bad. Cheese curds is pretty good & better than Minnesota's famous cheese curd, to be honest. Theres so plenty of tables for customers to dine in! Clean! Staff keep it clean to make us comfortable to eat in. Not cold or not hot, it is just perfect temperature inside. Its cozy warm. Would definitely come back here again. 4.5 stars really.. just because of coleslaw is a reason that not impressed me. High five to Tom Wahl's for a good dinner!

    Clean inside and out.

    After five hours in the car, traipsing across New York via Route 20 to avoid the tolls of I-90, there wasn't much that could get me to stop the car. Just short of my final destination in Buffalo, it was the lure of the "black raspberry soft serve" sign that got me to make a U-turn in a pharmacy parking lot for some roadside eats. I had seen the signs for Tom Wahl's earlier on the same road and thought nothing of it. The burger on the billboard looked tasty enough, but not enough to think of filling my stomach before getting to the city on the lake and it's famous beef on weck sandwiches. "Just ice cream. Just one cone and you're done, Lucas. Beef and wings in another hour." That plan fell apart and the little guy in red with horns on my shoulder danced as I ordered a cheeseburger anyway. The smell of freshly cooked beef wafted from the exhaust fans as I got out of the car. I knew I was a goner. The burger was as thin as could be atop the fluffiest roll imaginable. The patty as big as the plate it came on. Ketchup and mustard in proper proportions. Not much to argue there. Within seconds it was gone. I almost went back for a garbage plate, but I had ice cream to contend with. The black raspberry was good, but not as good as the peach soft serve. The raspberry almost had a medicinal flavor to it. It got better as I went along, but the peach is the winner for me. Rolling back east on Monday. I'll tackle the garbage plate then.

    A staple restaurant in Avon Ny, located on E Main St. Large parking area, up front and on the side. Large covered picnic area out back, perfect place to eat on a beautiful day! Great menu with so many options, I'm a fan of the cheeseburger value meal. A 5oz ground steak with two American slices of cheese. ( I add onions) side of French fries and a medium drink for $11.39. Sometimes I go with crispy bacon... yum! Their homemade root beer is great, even better as a float! Also, milkshakes are amazing too! Avoid the lines and order on line, you walk right in and pick up your order!

It is not the restaurant we remembered from 2025. We were promptly seated. Greek favorites and other enjoyed items are no longer on the menu. We waited 12-15 minutes for the waitress to take our drink order; we ordered our meals at the same time. The drinks came promptly. The food did not. 35 minutes went by. Parties came in, ate and left and still no food served. When I inquired the waitress said the kitchen made an error and it was not her fault. I said our choice is to leave if food cannot be served. (We saw other parties get the same food we ordered so it was not a shortage or lack of chef.) As we were leaving without eating, the head waitress asked what was happening - voila the food was ready, not totally correct or hot but it was served. Our waitress was attentive after we got our food and she brought our bill quickly. What went wrong: (1) We waited to order even as other customers arrived and their order taken ell before ours. (2) Our waitress did not check on us for 30 minutes. (3) Our food arrived at the table 40 minutes after being ordered. (4) The waitress did not take ownership of the problem. She deflected, made no attempts to correct, and needed the head waitress to step in. (5) Common condiments (butter for vegetables, sour cream for quesadillas) were not served. What went right: (1) Drinks arrived quickly. (2) Take out box arrived in a timely fashion (3) Our bill was delivered and processed quickly. We have options. It is unlikely we will be back. Everything we found interesting on the menu is no longer available.

Even the service was good... when I got it. that's the problem, it took forever to get my waitress. We came in as expected at 7 o'clock. We were immediately put in our table. Probably after five maybe 10 minutes later and assistant/bus-girl gave us water. At first we thought she was our waitress so we ask about our drinks. She said that's the waitresses job. Eventually, the waitress came. I ordered a beer. My wife ordered a basic cocktail. And then we waited. And then we waited again. I got my beer at 7:35. I had sat at that table for 35 minutes. that was probably the slowest part of our time, but even the food took longer than he would expect at a restaurant, especially a restaurant at that price level. The waitress apologize saying the restaurant did not expect to be that busy. It was busy enough, but the dining room was never 100% filled. we didn't get out until after 9 o'clock. In fact, I didn't ask for a second beer when my dinner came, by the time I had totally eaten my dinner. I still hadn't received my second beer, to which point I finally told the waitress I no longer want that order of the beer. it's very possible they can't get enough people to work there, but I'm still paying the same price that I would've gotten if there was good service in truth, it's really worth given my Service 3.5 stars, but I wanted you to be aware of what I got on a Tuesday night, so I knew that three stars would stick up like a flaYbeen there once before and it was good and I would've given it. Four stars and I promise you I will come again and if the service is good, I will quickly change my rating. Bon appétit

Service was wildly friendly, the owner is really outgoing and welcoming to everyone that comes in the door, and seemed to know quite a few of the locals. Not sure if it was just us or everyone, but he was asking if anyone was half-vegetarian (eats fish apparently) or full-vegetarian, which is The menu isn't very long, but everything we tried was excellent.

The lamb was pretty good as well, but was definitely out-shined for me by the chicken. I was expecting a pretty bland chicken, which is pretty typical for falafel places for some reason, but this chicken was crazy flavorful. Something like a butter chicken or chicken tikka masala on the outside; not saucy like those, but with that sort of flavor somehow. That paired with the solid white sauce and the amazing cilantro sauce was top notch. Even better, throw in an order of the masala fries to go with and your stomach will be both full and super happy. Highly recommended for a quick, cheap, delicious, and filling meal in Geneseo!
