I didn't love it as a kid, but nowadays it's in steady competition with Sport-O's as my favorite restaurant spot.
The food doesn't disappoint, I always leave satisfied. If the coffee was equal to or better than Sport-O's, then they would be the clear winner in my book. It's nice to go into a restaurant and be greeted by the owner, it shows that they care about their customers. I really appreciate their wait staff most of all, they're always friendly, and they're always on top of whatever you need.
My one point of criticism: The bacon is not consistent. I'm not a demanding customer, I make no special requests and I'll eat whatever you serve me, but if I'm going to have a favorite spot, I like to know what to expect in terms of quality. In my last three visits, the bacon has been overcooked, chewy, and right in between. For me, this is okay, but this may not be okay for some customers.
Some people have a strong preference for their bacon and it feels like something that the waitress should ask. It should be as common to ask about the wellness of the bacon as it is to ask about the wellness of a burger. "How do you like your bacon, chewy, crispy, or well done?" Now that would be music to my ears and probably the ears of other breakfast patrons, but maybe I'm...
Read moreExcellent experience at Settler's Family Restaurant on our way to ROC!! We were a large group travelling to Rochester Airport when we decided to stop in on our way for some breakfast. Even though it was a busy Saturday morning, Settler's was extremely accommodating: setting up a table of 12 right away. The waitress was extremely patient as our group (including 5 children) placed our orders. She offered to start with drinks, but when we mentioned we were on a schedule, she was pleased to take both drink and food orders then and there. Some of us even had amendments to our orders throughout, and she didn't bat an eye as she made the changes on her note pad. The food came out extremely quickly and was delicious! Notable orders were the broccoli omelette, the pancakes, waffles, and coffee! When we asked for the bills, our server was already on the ball and handed out immediately. Very considerate of our time, accommodating to our large group, and delicious food! What more could we ask for?! Thank you Settler's for a...
Read moreFirst, please check my other reviews. I am not a harsh critic by any means. So when I tell you to stop at Panera in a NY state wayside instead of this place, that tells you something. Where all the great ratings come from, I can only assume the lunch/dinner is 1000x better than breakfast. We came in cheerful and smiling. Our waitress was cold and never welcoming. Maybe if we were locals, it would be different. (That said, the hostess was very sweet and kind.) How do you use CANNED mushrooms, corn, etc., FROZEN spinach and LIQUID eggs in your omelets? For the prices, I do expect fresh produce (in bags for restaurants) and real eggs that are cracked into a bowl before preparation. The bread was mass produced and bland. Not butter, but an oily spread. The home fries had a oily aftertaste as well. I am on vacation and expect better from Google Maps reviewers. I hope you read this review and take it to heart if you love food. Please know that alot of small town places like this can be good/great. This isn't one of...
