Hose 22: Firehouse Grill — Restaurant in City of Rochester

We walked into Hose 22 on a recent Saturday night around 6:00 it was fairly busy with about 5 open booths. When we asked for a booth we were told that we couldn't have one, no explanation, no sorry they are reservations waiting for those tablet just escorted to a table. The restaurant itself is very cool looking with all kinds of firefighting paraphernalia, but it is loud, very loud (why we thought a booth would be better to chat with friends). The food was good I had a chicken sandwich which was very flavorful, everyone else at our tablet was satisfied too. Our waitress was efficient (although after we told her the first time that we needed more time to decide she disappeared for what seemed forever... did she quit?). The reason I am knocking off a star is after our meal we went to the ladies room where I witnessed our waitress coming out of a bathroom stall, picking items up from the floor, throwing them in the trash and exiting the bathroom WITHOUT washing her hands. If I would have seen this before I would not have accepted my food. I realize that this likely happens behind the scenes but who leaves the ladies room and doesn't wash their hands? As far as the booths 2 sat unseated for the entire hour we were at...

This was my first time eating with my family after a graduation ceremony. We needed a reservation for 10 people and they took us on a Friday night with no problem. Everywhere else was either booked and they have 2 different levels in the restaurant where they can seat people so space was not a problem.

The food was absolutely outstanding and everyone got something different from salads to burgers to fish pizza to sandwiches and other things. When we came in we were seated almost immediately following our reservation time, and our orders were taken and food brought within 20 minutes.... It was unbelievable because the place was packed.

Every dish was delicious and my burger was cooked to perfection.... It was my first time in a long time getting a burger that was ordered medium and it was delivered hot and perfectly cooked. I would 100% come here again because the service was great the staff was friendly and the food was mouth watering delicious.

The only negative and why it got 4 stars for atmosphere was because it was noisy and with a party of 10 you could barely hear the person at the opposite end of the table if you need to talk to them. But the atmosphere was quite unique for a restored...

Arrived to a busy bar and loud, dead dining room. I asked for a booth and she set us at an uncomfortable table with too long wooden seats. The waitress Danelle was very attentive. We asked her if her area included booths she said yes and then we asked to be moved to a booth. Unfortunately it wasn't one of her booths?!? Danielle was nice enough to move our drinks to the not her table. We gave her a 3 spot for the assist. Now we have a not so attentive waitress "Mama BC". The wife had the pulled pork; she said it was very good and I had the ribs which were very tender. The ribs were slathered with their signature BBQ sauce, very sweet with progressive heat! (the more you ate, the hotter it got) I like sweet but not alot of heat, I was unable to eat my last rib. My meal included cole slaw, corn bread, and sweet potato steak fries. I asked for no coleslaw and extra fries. I received coleslaw, extra too well done fries, and too dry cornbread, both were unedible. We had to ask Danielle to find our waitress so we could get a drink refill. For dessert the wife had chocolate cheese cake and I had carrot cake. The carrot cake was drizzled with caramel?!? Was almost too...
