Exellent breakfast, order the hash browns they are amazing. Convenient location near downtown. Great service

I decided to check out their rooftop dining last weekend with some friends and was left unimpressed. The view was gorgeous but because of the way the buildings are positioned, the sun was blocked and it was extremely windy despite being a beautiful late summer day. I ordered blueberry pancakes and could barely finish them because they were so bland. They also claim to offer "fresh squeezed orange juice" but it's more likely the cheapest OJ you can find, all the while charging $4 for it! In all, it was just over $60 for three meals and two (non alcoholic) drinks. Although the ambiance isn't as great, Canadian Honker is definitely the most delicious breakfast spot in Rochester (AND they offer awesome fresh squeezed orange juice!). read more

This is a great new addition to the Rochester brunch scene. Great ambiance, great cocktail and wine list, and good menu selection and diversity overall. We sat at the bar and they were very friendly. we will come here again We had the following items: - breakfast steak burrito: 4/5 - good portion size, good ratio of steak to eggs. Salsa was good. 3 different types of hot sauce available at the bar. Could have had beans / onions / something spicy built into burrito. - side of fried potatoes: 5/5 - California eggs Benedict: 4/5 eggs Benedict was great, hollandaise sauce was above average. - side of hash browns: 2.5 / 5 nothing special, a little oily. The surface was a little too crunchy and texture was not right, and overall lacked flavor. I would definitely get the side of fried potatoes. - brioche French toast - 5/ 5. Was great. Not too soft. Good portion size, good ratio of fruit to toast, and good presentation, and it tasted great. Whipped cream could be improved, I wonder if this was just out of the bottle. The butter could also be improved, perhaps with a flavored maple butter or something. - fresh squeezed orange juice was great 5/5 - glass of Cabernet, $9, not bad for the price, standard - drip coffee: nothing special, 3/5 read more

This will be my new favorite place to get breakfast in town. The service was great and food was fantastic! My wife and I shared an order of mini donuts served with a chocolate sauce, we could have used a little more chocolate sauce, but they were fantastic anyway. I ordered the Steak Burrito with hash browns. The Burrito was served with a Chipotle sauce on the side which I didn't use because I don't like chipotle sauce, however I did find "Cry Baby Craig's Bawlin Habanero hot sauce" which was a great find. The burrito was great tasting and a good size, the hash browns were nice and crisp on the outside and hot and moist on the inside. Lastly the coffee was a nice strong coffee out of the Twin Cities that made the breakfast complete. I highly recommend this place, it is a little small so use the call ahead seating in Yelp and keep an eye on the wait times. This place is going to be popular. read more

Honestly, I love everything about Benedict's. The food is great, the service is fantastic, and the atmosphere is fun.

Great place for brunch. There were 20 people waiting when we got there but they turn tables quick. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. We ordered the Denver hash, hot chicken benedict and the flight of pancakes (Elvis, Strawberry Nutella and Plain). All was delicious and came out extremely quick. We will definitely be back. read more

This is probably the first time that I've ever just walked out of a restaurant. From the moment I walked in, things were going downhill and fast. This is my second time at this restaurant. The first was a pleasant, uneventful experience. This time, it was bad. First, I was eating solo so I asked to be seated. The server seated me behind a large pole hidden from everyone. I asked to move and he walked away. I reseated myself. Then he bought me a glass of Luke warm water. I asked for a straw and he out the out on the bare table! The waitress was very helpful and took my order. Within 3 minutes, my French toast was ready. I knew that was suspicious. During my 3 minute wait, I open silverware only to find the knife had old food stuck to it. My food arrived. My eggs needed salt and pepper. I used the shakers and nothing came out. Old shakers that had salt stuck in the holes and they didn't work. Ugh! I motioned for someone to bring me new silverware and salt and pepper. At this point, I was annoyed. I also didn't want to seem like a complainer so I didn't say anything. The French toast looked amazing so I dug in. EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF FRENCH TOAST WAS RAW! It was gooey and gummy. Yuck! The server came over and I told her my experience was horrible and I was leaving. She was apologetic. I packed up and left. They won't ever see me again! I didn't give them a chance to correct anything. I was starving and annoyed. read more

We got chilaquiles and huevos rancheros. Not pictured was the pineapple pancake and Elvis stack too! Seriously the best brunch I've had in Rochester! Still salivating thinking about the deliciousness. Highly recommend the chilaquiles!! read more

Absolutely delicious! Not only is their food incredible, but the atmosphere is just as great! Tables are all safely spaced apart, service is very friendly and well educated on the menu items. You really cannot go wrong with anything on their menu, but my personal favorite is their french toast. We love the environment so much, that we enjoy dining in, but I have heard great things of their to-go services as well. Give this local favorite a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

How do you reckon poached eggs? They were cold! The bread wasn't toasted and they asked you if you want butter or jam after they serve it. Really? This is attached to the Hilton and not cheap. Lipstick on the mugs for the coffee too. Wait staff were ok that's why two stars not one. read more

Have been multiple times now and am just not that impressed. Waited for seating when there wasn't anyone in line and plenty of tables open; maybe not enough servers or maybe they can't see people waiting from their vantage-point inside the restaurant. Food is mediocre at best; have tried eggs (undercooked), bacon (overcooked), pancakes (tough), potatoes (cold), donuts (hard). The only great thing I've had so far is a hamburger, which was one of the best I've ever had! Food is also overpriced for the quality. As a breakfast/brunch joint, I'm disappointed because we really needed a place to order breakfast downtown. However, I have colleagues that eat here frequently, so maybe I'm too picky or they've tried something I haven't. I'm also not too big a fan of tables being so close together (who wants to hear other people's conversations?) and the open kitchen concept just adds to the noise level. This design seems to be popular though (such as Chester's), but it's just not my style. I do like the light decor though and all the windows, very nice ambiance. read more

Dog food. This was biscuits and gravy for 15$... its broth and meat and soggy biscuit. I was not happy & said was gross and they did not offer to comp any of it or take anything off... never coming back here. Not the experience I want between appointments read more

We are here a few times on my most recent trip to Rochester, it is located in the skyway on the way to the civic center so it was convenient. The breakfast was great and the service was quick both days for breakfast. The hash browns were really good. The day we had lunch I didn't think the food was as good and the service was very slow. I wanted chips with my order but was brought fries and and charged extra for them, it took so long to get the bill that i just wanted to pay so we could leave. My take go for breakfast but not lunch read more

Amazing breakfast spot. Service and food were great. Be sure to allow time for a wait, they can get busy.

Why over priced for just average food. We were at Mayo Clinic and looking for dine in restaurant. We didn't realize that it was in a hotel. We would not have chosen this had we know. However we were there, hungry with Limited options. The staff was good. However the food was just so so and the prices high. :-( read more

Good food for a decent price. Quality products. Good service. A little hard to find, but once you do you will come back!

My friends and I went here for a reunion and we used Yelp to join the wait list (thank Yelp for the helpful feature) and only had to wait 15mins to have a table! the restaurant was somewhat small but has very nice mordern decoration. The waitress was nice and helpful, so a genuine experience from the start. For food, the menu had quite a few options, some of which were quite 'millennial', such as avocado toast or chia bowl; so very Instagram-able. I ordered the make your own omelette which came with a choice of potatoes, which were either hash browns or American breakfast potatoes (diced potatoes). My friends got the standard, the egg Benedict's, the burrito and the steak burrito (they didn't let me take pictures of their food like classic millennials). My omelette with spinach, red peppers, and mushroom was fine; it was moist and nicely shape. The side of hash browns was crunchy and not greasy, which were definitely a plus; most places' hash browns could be very greasy and heavy. However, I'd say the food was good but nothing special and out of this world. It's also a bit over price for the serving size and the quality of the food we got. Not that the food wasn't good, it just didn't worth $15+. In general, if the place isn't very busy, I'd go back since it's super cute. However, it probably would not be my first recommendation when people ask for brunch! read more

Enjoyed the Benedict's Bloody Mary. We all had the eponymous Benedicts. My steak version included perfectly poached eggs and the steak was medium rare as ordered. The English muffin halves were deliciously smeared with stone ground mustard. The accompanying hash browns were crispy and tasty. Companions enjoyed their gravlax and crab Benedict's. Meals were pricey but if you are looking for a cheerful place to meet friends for a brunch in a nice setting, this is worth a try. Service was attentive. read more

Amazing and delicious, fresh and flavorful. The coffee was tasty, the services was top notch. The best brunch/ breakfast place in Rochester. This is the place to be. The price was pricey, but the quality just prove it all. Best quality. read more

Stumbled upon this place on it's second day being open. It's hidden above the lobby of the new Hilton and is so cute! I had the Cubano Benedict but because I couldn't decide between it and the tot hash, my waitress suggested subbing my potato's for the tots. It was the perfect combo! They also have fresh squeezed orange and grapefruit juices. I had to go back for seconds on the grapefruit! read more

I ordered via delivery and honestly not impressed. We finally tried this bc everybody had been telling my husband how great it is, but what we received was anything but great. I will say that their Nashville hot Benedict was ok but that's where it ends. I ordered the pancakes and the mix was horrible. Something was off and sour tasting. The French toast also just tasted like buttered brioche toast and the breakfast potatoes were literally just potatoes. No seasonings or love went it to this food. Bland and overpriced. Will not be returning! read more

First time at Benedict's in Rochester this Father's Day... Frankly we were underwhelmed. Servers were nice but inattentive and made a few mistakes on the order and had to be hailed to refill drinks (they were not circulating to see how the food was or if you needed anything). My biggest disappointment was the food - food arrived luke warm (English muffins were room temp), food was dry and overcooked (Omelette, Sausage, Hash Browns). The pancakes were fine (better than most things but not great). The only standout was the Nutella strawberry pancakes my daughter had. The service and food quality is not as good as the Wayzata location and other local competitors including Pannekoeken and Canadian Honker provide a more flavorful breakfast at a slightly better price point (either less expensive or more food for the same amount. Never thought I would be putting the Honker in front of something like Benedict's but this was a unanimous vote amongst all of us out for brunch this morning... Unfortunate, as we had high hopes given our experience up in Wayzata... read more

We came from Duluth to Rochester to visit family. We were hungry for breakfast and found this place on yelp. Once we arrived, we were sat immediately and greeted by our sever, Ricky. She kept the coffee flowing and our glasses never went empty! Food was delicious and arrived in a timely manner. I had the California Benedict with hollandaise which was PHENOM Ricky was excellent and made the experience one to remember. My boyfriend even exclaimed: "This is the best breakfast I've ever had in Minnesota!" Thanks for everything! I strongly recommend this for breakfast or brunch! read more

The sign for the restaurant is very deceptive and confusing. There is no entrance near the sign and no directions to the entrance. We were added to the Yelp waitlist with an expected 20 minute wait. When we arrived 10 minutes later we were told we were at the end of the wait list and it would be 30 minutes for a table because they had seated a number of walk ins. Why bother using the wait list? read more

Benedict's has become our weekend breakfast/brunch hang out at least twice a month or more. The staff is warm and friendly, the coffee is always full, and the food is divine. Especially their Egg's Benedict choices. While I tend to stick to one of those, my wife has tried most of the rest of the menu and we have not found a single thing we did not love. That, and their breakfast drinks are the best around. read more

Our entire family has had wonderful meals at Benedict's in the past two weeks. My husband and I had breakfast - he had the omelette of the day, and I had the traditional eggs Benedict. Both of us ordered breakfast potatoes. From the moment we walked in, the service was friendly and efficient. We had our breakfast in less than 10 minute, it was piping hot. I can honestly say this was the best eggs Benedict I've ever had, and my husband was pleased with his omelette. The potatoes were huge chunks of skin-on potatoes, seasoned and cooked perfectly. Our daughter and her grandfather had lunch there last week. My daughter loved her chicken sandwich, and my dad said his Reuben was the best ever. They enjoyed the homemade chips and pickles. Service was great. Benedict's has made a good impression on all of us, so we'll be back soon! read more

The food was great. But the service was terrible. Our server wasn't very happy to serve us. It felt like she was serving only cause she had to. I felt she was giving us attitude but thought maybe she was having a bad day. But at the end of our meal, she slammed the tab down on the table and walked away; not a single thank you or have a good day as courtesy, THIS IS NOT OKAY. It was just rude of her, and we were not rude customers. That's all for today. read more

Great place - we typically stop here when in the Rochester area. The service is good, coffee is good. Really good breakfast place.
