My family loves Rochester grill, we get carry out a few times a week and the quality is always very consistent. Prices here are very fair, portions are large, and most of the staff is very friendly. Younger girl running the cash register occasionally has the standard teenager attitude but I’m not going to dock a star for her I was a teenager one time and went through that stage as well. Wonderful family owned restaurant that anyone in the area should try!
I was amazed at how good this place was. I had an excellent skillet breakfast, and loved the whole thing. Staff were friendly, bathrooms were pretty clean, and customers were happily talking to each other while moving to and from their tables. It was a great environment and a great meal.
BEWARE if you order from here using DoorDash. The menu is misrepresented and I was told when I called that the restaurant doesnt know how to correct the issue. I ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy which said it came with eggs and hash browns. A full breakfast, right? What I received was one biscuit with gravy for $7.50! I called and the restaurant just told me the DoorDash menu is wrong. No offer to make things right. Unfortunately this was my first time ordering from this establishment and it will be my last. Ive never had this problem with any other restaurants and I use DoorDash frequently. A very disappointing experience.
Absolutely worst service ever!! Waited about 5 minutes to be seated which would NOT be a problem if they were busy but they were NOT at all and 3 different people walked right past us and didnt say a thing. Finally someone shouted pick a seat!! Food is not that good for the price and They charge extra for things That should be included such as condiments and dont tell you until you get the bill!!
First time having dinner at this place. Building was under construction on the outside but we decided to try it anyways. The booth we sat at had cold air coming in from the outside being it was 41°. I order the fresh turkey dinner with mashed potatoes gravy, stuffing and vegetables. The food was served to me cold and had to send it back to be heated. The taste of the food was good and had a decent portion size. I wouldve gave a 4 star but food was cold. The chicken soup was hot and delicious will definitely order that again.
I have been here many times. The lemon rice soup is excellent. I have not had their breakfast. Lunch and dinner menu is great. The green pepper soup is out of this world. I noticed they have a lot of repeating customers. Clean, friendly, and excellent prices for good food.
Its a great place for Sunday morning brunch! Open early; typical American diner fare; good food; small dining room; pleasant staff. Theres always a long list of Specials on the wall. They have a couple of TVs on the wall for viewing. We like having relaxed weekend breakfasts there.
Ordered a $25.00 steak which seemed reasonable for this destination. The steak was cooked correctly but was cold. The asparagus and mash potatoes were very cold. I added butter and it would not melt. Paid extra for a salad and it was tasty but very small. I explained this to our waitress very politely and she said she would let the manager know. To their credit we were a large party but they knew we were coming weeks in advance. I spoke to others in our party and they stated their food was also cold. I hope this helps you.
I do not recommend this place at all. Three bad experiences with the same restaurant can not be a coincidence. 1. My first experience with them: I called and asked if they had spagheti with meatballs (My son wanted to eat that), they assured me they did. We went and realized they didnt have meatballs. I let that one go. 2. I called to place an order for pick up. They told me it would be ready in 20 min. I got there and the waitress hadnt even ordered it. I had to wait with my kids -one baby- in the car. At that point, I decided not to come back again. Being the fact that we live less than a block from there, and that there were two hungry kids after soccer game, we decided to eat there and give it one more try. 3. We were charged for refills! My kids refills for chocolate milk was $4.50!!! (2 refills) . The drink itself is not even $2, plus the kids drinks were supposed to be included in their kids meal!!! The waitress did not even attempt to do anything about it, despite the fact I told her I had never been charged for refills before. She pretty much told me, this is how we do it here and left. I know we will definitely not come back to this place.
From Beginning to end, great service, great atmosphere, great food. Price is excellent, you feel like you got a discount, would pay more for the package. Sue, server, and other servers on point. Never ran out of coffee and food appeared out of thun air, was so fast. Very enjoyable and is now favorite. Thank you. - Carlos Bonilla
Went with a friend for breakfast and the service was a bit slow, but the staff was friendly. Admittedly, it was during a peak time on Saturday morning and pretty much every booth was filled when we arrived The interior appeared clean with a typical greek coney island feel. Unfortunately we both didnt care much for the food. My friend got the chicken lemon rice soup and we each split two skillets (their signature w/ sausage and the mexican), a side of bacon and some toast. We agreed the skillets were bland. We still finished those plates, but not without hot sauce and ketchup. The soup was unlike any I have had for that recipe, but not in a good way. I think it may have been too much chicken broth and no lemon. Maybe not, but it was off and so was the bacon, of which we abandoned the last piece...
A great little family dinner in Rochester Michigan. It is a gathering place for a lot of regulars. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all great. They occasionally have a soup of the day called stuffed green pepper that is to die for. We have brought it home in quart containers.
I have been here several times due to its location that is the only thing this diner has going for it wait staff always seems to be grumpy 3 different occasions I gave up trying to get silverware in just ate my meal with my hands It was like I was in India again Dont bother trying to get the waitresss attention she will come to you when she is ready And about thing is Im not exaggerating

2021-11-20First time. I was craving breakfast. It was just OK. Ham portion was pretty small and hashbrowns were very dry. Didnt get asked about a refill on my coke.

2022-04-03Similar to a coney island with a laid-back, family atmosphere. The fries are always crispy and its always good for diner-style breakfast. The waitstaff is prompt and always very kind.

2019-12-02The food and service is always excellent and now they have completely redone the inside so it looks nice as well. My favorite is the Rochester fruit salad. Large portions at reasonable prices and very fresh fruit and salad

2020-09-01Nice and accommodating staff. Orders usually arrive quickly and I have not had an issue with my food being cold when its supposed to be hot. Not very dietary restriction friendly. I usually order breakfast as Ive found the salad lettuce to be very wet.

2019-01-05The service was great! Friendly bunch. However, the food was just okay. I ordered an omelette and hashbrowns with pancakes. The omelette was good but the hashbrowns came to me like they were saved from the morning. I asked for a couple of fries instead. The fries were great! The waitress brought them to me fresh, hot and they werent burnt! Overall its very small, not so much for large groups, and the food is okay.

2019-01-05The staff was very friendly and accommodating considering the size of our party. They were able to add a small table to a medium sized table which we greatly appreciated. Unfortunately the area we were placed in shook whenever someone would walk nearby. The good thing is they told us it will be repaired soon. This place has hot, fresh fries but I must say everything else we ordered was just ok. The place appeared to be a local hangout type restaurant but just not for us. Weve become restaurant snobs.....critics if you will. When a child can recognize when cheese sticks should be stringy but theyre not, its time to reboot the kitchen techniques.
