I went to Tom Wahl's in Bushnell's Basin with coworkers for lunch, and it turned out to be a really…read moreenjoyable visit. I hadn't been in many years -- the location near me closed, and with so many other options around Rochester, it's not a place I often think of. This visit reminded me why the brand has stuck around for decades. Inside, the restaurant has a fun retro feel, and despite a busy lunch rush, service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the Wahlburger, which I'd oddly never tried before. It's their classic cheeseburger built on a soft, fresh bun with a seasoned beef patty, melted American cheese, shredded lettuce, diced onions, pickles, a slice of ham, and their signature tangy Wahl sauce. It arrived looking pretty plain and unassuming, but that first impression didn't tell the whole story. The patty was nicely cooked, the bun was great, and the combination of ham with that killer sauce made the whole thing surprisingly delicious. I'd absolutely order it again. The fried cheese curds were the star of the meal. They looked like they might be heavy, but they were light, crisp, and delicious. The cheese inside was mild and unexpectedly perfect. I could have eaten a whole second order. The mac salad, usually my favorite side, was just okay -- good but not great. It needed a bit more salt, though I still finished it. All in all, while I wouldn't necessarily drive across town just for it, this was a solid lunch spot and a fun throwback. I'm sure I'll return with coworkers, and I'm already planning a visit with my son -- he'll absolutely go nuts for those cheese curds.

I visited Charlie Reidel's in Canandaigua today to purchase my dinner. This visit came two days…read moreafter a similar visit to one of those golden arch restaurants in Farmington where I was disgusted by the condition of the restaurant and the inattentiveness of the staff who spent most of the time chatting with one another while debris and food waste remained piled on the floor. After a ten-minute wait at this "fast food" site, I was out the door for the last time! My faith in the future was at least partially restored when I visited Charlie's. While waiting for my order - taken by a cheerful and engaged worker - I observed the workflow in the restaurant and was astounded by the level of effort and competence that I saw in that short period. Although everyone remained busy taking care of the counters and tables, cleaning, tidying up and refilling dispensers, I noticed one young lady who had clearly mastered the art of multi-tasking. While moving from one end of the counter to another to take care of customers, she grabbed a cloth and wiped down the counters on her way. During a few moments of available time, a broom appeared in her hand and the floor was swept clean. As I was observing, I attempted to identify a manager or supervisor and could not do that. That suggests to me that the culture at Charlie Reidel's has evolved to a point where these dedicated employees take ownership of and pride in their jobs. They don't need managers or supervisors standing over their shoulders to force the work to be done. Oh, the food was delicious too.

No mixed mustard served with them. The wine by the bottle jumped from $22 to 32 overnight . Since I serve myself and bus my own table I expect a better deal than that. I will also ad that they place call in orders ahead of walk ins so be prepared to wait way longer than it should take for a burger and fries. The burger bar always seems to be understaffed as well.

We also enjoyed the mac salad. It was a very pleasant experience and the gentleman who took our order was very friendly.

We had a few questions about the menu and the person working was happy to help. My husband asked for meat sauce on his cheese steak and they added this at no additional charge. I was shocked by how much they loaded on there with no fee. He was very happy with his food. I loved my cheesesteak as well. The fries were piping hot and fresh. We forgot how filling the cheesesteaks could be and were not able to finish all our fries. I love the mural in the dining area and the comfy booths. Pricing wasn't too bad. We ordered one combo and one additional cheesesteak and it was around 26 dollars for everything. We loved our visit and hope to visit again soon. 4 years is too long to go without Mac's.

The place has a cool vibe; exposed brick and wide plank floors, chalked up menu. We were happily greeted by the staff, and they quickly put our orders together. We got one burrito and two bowls. The staff talked us through the order, putting each one together with the several choices of fixins. It's like that burrito chain (rhymes with Bipotlay), but the staff are cool and happy, and the food looks super fresh. Three meals came to about $35 total, so affordable. Bowls were stacked, and the burrito was big, about the size of a prairie dog. Ish. Taste was great. A little more kick or spice in some of the food would have made it all perfect. (I got mild salsa in my burrito; should have gone with medium or hot). You can't go wrong with this place. The food is good and affordable, the vibe is chill, and the staff is super friendly and happy! We can't wait to come back!

First red flag: The place was huge and completely empty on a Saturday night at 6:00 p.m., during…read morethe height of the busy season on Keuka Lake. We had a group of six (four adults and two kids). At the start of the meal, we realized there wasn't a drink menu. When I asked our server for one, she let me know it was on a chalkboard 30 feet from our table. So I politely walked over and yelled back to our table with the options. Then we ordered appetizers. The onion rings and garlic parmesan fries were good. The bruschetta was okay, but the bread they put it on was the same pita they use for their hummus--not a crostini, which is normally how bruschetta is served. Overall, it was lackluster. Last were a dozen steamers. The clams came in a wooden chicken-wing bowl, filled halfway with a butter, wine, onion, and tomato sauce. The clams were overcooked, with each piece of clam meat about the size of a dime. Then came the "dinner." The table ordered two beef on wecks, which were inedible. They came on a hamburger bun with no salt and only a few kummelweck seeds. They don't have fresh horseradish on the side like everywhere else in WNY; instead, they slap on cold horseradish sauce. Both sandwiches were cold, and the meat was extremely low quality. They also got French onion soup as their side. I can honestly say that after eating 1,000+ bowls of French onion soup in my life, this was by far the worst. The bowl was filled with croutons, leaving virtually no room for broth or onions. The cheese they used was some cheap Swiss cheese that came off the top of the bowl in one giant, cold piece. 0/100! Next was the Cuban sandwich, which was also cold and made with low-quality ingredients. I took two bites and gave up. The third dish was the XXX Hot Chicken Wings. The chicken was gummy, and the sauce was a dark brown paste that tasted like chipotle. It wasn't hot at all. I ate four of the 12 wings before I just quit. Lastly, we ordered a large pizza. They charge $2.00 for every topping. It tasted EXACTLY like a frozen Tony's Supreme pizza you can get for $8.99 at the grocery store. Except we ordered four toppings, so this pizza cost us $34.00. The sauce and toppings didn't go out far enough, leaving a 2-3-inch crust that was hard and disgusting. We sent the first beef on weck back. It was the first thing that hit the table. After we received the rest of the food, we wanted to send all of it back. We got up from the table and told the waitress that no one could eat anything. She took the beef on weck off the bill. The service was not great either. The server only came to take our order and drop off the food. She also forgot to bring the last order of drinks. After we complained, we noticed her mood completely changed. She then just brought us the bill. She said, "I wish you'd told me something was wrong." We explained that we did tell her something was wrong, and she never checked on us again. I also explained that there really wasn't anything she could have done because it wasn't one bad dish--it was everything we ordered for dinner that was bad. We didn't want six more dinners brought out that sucked. The bill: If I had the courage, I would have asked to speak with a manager or owner and requested that the entire bill be removed except for the drinks, fries, and onion rings. But at that point, we just wanted to get out of there. The bill was $210 before tip for the worst meal I've had in as long as I can remember. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Save your money and make a PB&J at home.
