While visiting family in Rochester, my niece mentioned The Waffle Factory as an option for…read morebreakfast. It's a house that has been converted into a restaurant. Because of COVID, there was outside seating. I was okay with that. The ordering was swift, but the breakfast took some time to arrive. At least I knew it wasn't microwaved and ready in under 5 minutes. Plus, the texture was not microwaved tough. I had the banana and caramel waffle with scrambled eggs. The waffle came topped with a heaping of bananas and a caramel drizzle, but underneath that the waffle had been drizzled with a glaze that reminded me of cinnamon role glaze. A friend had mixed berry waffle that didn't require syrup because of the cinnamon role glaze. My niece had the moon cakes that were topped with what looked like chocolate and Nutella. I get the hype. I do. Whenever I get back to Rochester, The Waffle Factory will definitely be an option for breakfast.

Came to Rochester for a graduation party & decided to go to breakfast with my family here…read more The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the banana foster French toast, catfish & grits, and pancakes. All fantastic! For my baby I also ordered a side of strawberries and grits. The portions are huge! There are two entrances so it could be a little misdirection, but it's not hard to find out where you need to order as it is an open concept kitchen. If it's busy enough, when I went the line was down to the entrance, you'll have plenty of time to look at the menu, then get to the register so you can order. There's a decent amount of seating, but if you plan on eating breakfast inside, get there around 8 AM to 9:30 AM or expect to be in a long line, moves fast though! The workers on the inside are pretty cool. I didn't get a whole lot of face time with them as it's not set up like a server to table situation but you do get the customer service experience enough to know that they are pretty good at what they do. Can't end this review without mentioning that the banana foster French toast was my absolute favorite. I finished that whole plate within five minutes and I do not eat fast. Check this spot out, it's worth it!

The wait factory :/…read more Um, the food was fine, but it wasn't worth a TWO-hour wait. The lack of communication from the servers pissed me off. I kept going up to them they kept saying it's not ready yet... A family came in after me and ended up getting their food first. But all of a sudden when I went up for the last time about to get a refund my food appeared on the table. They had my pickup order on some grey gate table thing. If they lost track of it that's all they had to say. The only person who apologized was a young man, whose name I wish I had. Since they close at 4pm and the food came at 3:30 I just felt rushed I didn't have a great experience at all.

Still not sure what to think. $97 in less than 4 hours is blowing my mind. Our first visit was…read morenever this expensive-was $30 with drinks($10 max per person per day). So after making a cash payment i asked for a receipt. Unfortunately Michelle didn't know how to print one.My response was," well with the cost of our bill i am sure the owner will remember us. I will call him in the morning." "No they aren't opened tomorrow", was the response. I am still trying to figure out with 3 people-$10 max per person should have been $30 NOT $97???????? Based on our previous visit I was guessing roughly maybe $40 at best~but $97? I am hoping the owner reads this and forwards a phone call my way. I know there must be some mistake.

We stopped here for brunch a few weeks ago, with hopes that the food would be something close to…read morewhat we had experienced when we were in Istanbul years ago, and we were not disappointed. The majority of the menu is Turkish, and they are using authentic ingredients either imported from Turkey, or from the region. Our food was yummy and very reminiscent of the breakfasts we enjoyed when we were traveling. First, this place is in a strip mall and may not be easy to spot; second it's small, and despite their efforts to jazz up the interior with themed seating areas, it has a very take-out sort of vibe; and third, there are other things on the menu that I'm guessing they offer because of their proximity to RIT, but take my word for it - stick with the Turkish items and you will not be disappointed! Our order included the 'sucuklu yumurta', which is basically eggs with Turkish sausages served in it's own metal pan, plus the bagel plate, and I had the 'tray' (the name of which I cannot remember) which came with hard boiled eggs, fruit, cheese, tea, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers and a roll. It was almost exactly the breakfast we had every morning in Turkey, except the fruit we had there was fresh and here it was a kind of preserve. The portions may seem a little small, but prices are very good, and I would definitely recommend getting more things than you think you need just so you can try more and ensure you will leave satisfied. We are looking forward to going back and eating more of the menu!

I saw a lot of interesting and unique food photos on Yelp from this place, and decided to drop in…read morewith my daughter to try a few. I am not sure what happened, but the menu we were given didn't have any of these cool, unique things on it. The place is pretty cool inside, with a lot of board games. There are video games too, but the Nintendo switch didn't seem to work. We ordered a cereal milkshake thing to start. It was okay. The blended cereal inside of it gave it an odd texture. My daughter asked for a Cinnabun, which is a Cinnamon Roll Waffle w/ Icing & Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It didn't have any Cinnamon Toast Crunch in or on it. I ordered a 2 Piece, which is a Cheese Stuffed Waffle Topped w/ 2 Pieces of Bacon & 2 Eggs. There was no cheese in it. I asked for poached eggs but they said they didn't know how to make them. I asked for over easy instead, but I don't think they knew how to make those either, because the yolks were hard and not runny. This place is a great and fun idea, but the food was executed poorly, and inaccurately. Even worse when it was 2 meals and a drink for one adult and one tiny child and it racked up to $40.

The taste of salt is the only think that hits you- when we were approached by the owner and/or manager, how are things, we politely shared our feedback, to which he only said "so in your opinion" and walked away... To be clear, we have been excited to try this place for a while. The one guy at the register was so helpful, so patient, so friendly. Seasoned tots was anything but seasoned.... The shrimp and grits was great for the first few bites as well. Ultimately it seemed as though someone incorrectly labeled the salt shaker in the kitchen and decided to drown everything in sodium.

But I don't think anything called "classic" should have a bunch of extra (waffle cone, cake cubes? Sprinkles?!) stuff on top, but I know that's the while gimmick.

Call ahead or hop on OpenTable, because walking in without a plan means you'll probably be waiting... and trust me, this place is worth the hype. From the moment we sat down, everything felt spot on. Our server, Ashley B, absolutely crushed it--attentive, friendly, and somehow always there exactly when we needed something without ever hovering. That kind of service really sets the tone. Food and drinks? Incredible. My husband went for the chicken and waffles paired with a whiskey sour--perfect balance of savory and sweet with a cocktail that hit just right. I had the Maggie with a classic mimosa, and it was brunch perfection. The vibe is another standout--quaint, cozy, and a little elevated since it's tucked inside the museum. It feels like a hidden gem but with a lively energy. And if you've got any room left (big if), they carry Cheesy Eddie's desserts... which is basically your sign to loosen that belt a notch and go for it. Already planning our next visit.

We came here for their Easter brunch buffet, so I can't speak to the normal quality and service…read more The Brown Hound had one of the more affordable Easter brunches in town, and while the menu wasn't posted when I called to make reservations, it sounded good. Once they posted it, it was a little less impressive, but at that point, we were committed. I will say that it wasn't the most efficient dining experiences. They didn't have online reservations, so I did have to call in. When we arrived, about 15 minutes early, they weren't ready to check guests in, so we sat down to wait. The manager came around to ask how many were in your party, and tell you which line to use to check in - they had 2 seating areas and 2 check ins based on party size, I guess. Then we had to check in and pay, but this didn't include drinks, so we still had to pay again before we left. The buffet itself was fine, there was a barbeque station that smelled pretty good, and a breakfast station that was OK. Vegetarian options were very limited. I had homefries and some scrambled eggs, neither of which was hot when I got them. There were sugar waffles, which were really good, and some fruit, several breakfast meats (I don't eat beef or pork), and some garlic parm chicken that looked good, but was incredibly overcooked, so neither of us ate it. Barbeque was only beef or pork, so I had salad and some of the mac and cheese, which was pretty good. There were some mini desserts - OK mini cannoli's, a pretty good chocolate cake, and some carrot cake that my guy ate while I was away, so I assume was good! I believe the desserts got picked over pretty fast and were not all replaced. Condiments were in plastic squeeze bottles at the end of the buffet line, and coffee extras were all disposable as well. So, it was fine, and the guy was full and happy at the end, but I was not super impressed and ate mostly salad comprised of lettuce, cucumber, and croutons.
