Great place for trivia and meeting people and the food is great plus the bartender Tina is the best

We came here because it was quaint and we can come to see the water (too bad the lakefront across the street is no longer accessible to mere mortals). Had a hot dog and ice cream. It was pricey for what it was, but we were in vacation mode so we weren't phased. read more

Terrible food 90 min wait order wasn't right. Prices are too high for so bad food and terrible service. Will never go there again. 1 star is too much to give them. read more

This is a great place for families and kids it's close to the lake we were visiting and the place looked unique so we went to check it out, the locals kept talking about a trashcan plate, so had to try one. There is a bar area with great service and local beers on tap along with other draft beers from other locations. We enjoyed it and family friendly atmosphere. read more

Bill Gray's Seabreeze - Looks crazy but it's worth it Cheeseburger Plate! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Rochester, New York

I literally can't believe the PRICES here. Holy smokes! Expect kids meals to be $10. Adult meals $15-20.... In ROCHESTER, NY?!? Prices aren't even that high in major cities like Dallas and Houston. Needless to say, we spent $60 and got 3 kids meals and 2 burgers (not even meals). Food came out pretty fast, girl at the counter was ok. Was made almost accurate. I was missing pickles on my burger but they made ours right without the bun on a bed of lettuce. This is probably one of the biggest Bill Gray's I've seen. Vast amount of seating indoors and out. Appears to have a taproom connected as well. read more

just ran in for an ice cream - it's filthy, the outside area had food pilled up,no utensils & trash as you walk up the path to the door. seemed like only one older nice woman working. price for a small cup with hot fudge came to 7.50 ridiculous ! read more

This chain restaurant in Rochester is quite popular. We made a stop here for a light dinner. I got the 12pcs Chicken Wings and Onion Rings. The wings are good and juicy. They also have a number of sauces to dip with too. I'm not sure why the wings aren't listed on the menu though, but they were at another location so we knew they had them. Everything was solid and good, but the wait for the food took way too long. It took us about 20 minutes for our food and another 5 minutes just for sauces. read more

Stopped in for an ice cream at closing time. Ice cream is delicious as always... The kitty cone is pretty small and if you order the vanilla almond you'll maybe get three almonds in it. Definitely add the extra almonds on the top. We heard lots of talking and wondered if it was the TV but went back to investigate and discovered the tap room in the back... Their hours are different than the rest of the restaurant and on Thursday nights they have trivia. All the tables looked full I'm guessing it's a popular event read more

Stopped in for a burger and fries after a night at Marges Lakeside Inn. You can Google "Bill Grays coupons" and up came a few that you can use to save some dough. Wife and I got the $11.99 2 cheeseburgers and regular fries deal- and we added in onion rings. Order came up pretty quickly- I got the "works" on mine minus the relish. I always get a few dill pickle cups to eat and put on my burger. Can't go wrong with their food- they have "Plate" deals as well. We ate outside on a nice summer night. And if you have a sweet tooth- there is an Abbott's for ice cream after ! They do have a great bar in the back too if you want to spend some drinking time here. read more

Though I'd tried a regionally authentic Garbage Plate during last year's visit to upstate New York my friends thought I should try one more, get my fill for 2018. We'd watched the sun set over Lake Ontario from beach chairs at Marge's (across the street) then walked over to Bill Gray's for - there's no other way to put it - junk food. For my last meal before returning to the west coast, Bill Gray's Seabreeze was a puzzling choice. It's basically a big fast food purveyor with young, t-shirt clad workers manning the cash register. Whatever I thought of the food though, there's little denying that I left overly full. On Tuesdays, Bill Gray's Seabreeze discounts their Garbage Plates to a mere $6.99 (from $10.99) and trust when I say you need not spend a penny more. I didn't even need breakfast before leaving the next morning. On an annual basis now I seem to be coming more of an expert on Garbage Plates and in comparing this year's to last (elsewhere, at a seat from an outdoor table overlooking the water) I'll say that Bill Gray's comes in 2nd place. First, there is that awareness that one is in a fast food joint (pro tip: sit outdoors to help scale this hurdle). Second is the fact that I didn't see the outdoor seating until leaving and thus, sat indoors surrounded by tables which were not cleaned or not well cleaned and I couldn't help notice the bugs flying around the catsup dispenser. Bill Gray's could benefit from paying more attention to clean-up. The food itself? Like some sort of advanced algebra equation, the Garbage Plate is comprised of en endless variety of options. One of us ordered his with the extremely spicy meat gravy, fries, a beef patty, and a white veal hot dog. Another opted for the same protein choices sans gravy, but with tater tots nestled beside the macaroni salad. In a nod to my Cali roots I smothered my mac salad, 2 cheeseburger patties, and tater tots with lettuce, tomato, mustard, catsup, and pickles. It "almost" looked like a salad. If what you're seeking is fast food, Bill Gray's Seabreeze seems like an acceptable choice but if you're expecting anything more probably not. Still, there's no denying that "bang for your buck" should you be seeking an authentic Rochester Garbage Plate on a Tuesday. read more

There is quite a bit of construction going on in the area but usually this is a great place to view the lake or Irondequoit Bay and then stop here for a bite to eat. They have all the proper protections in place to assure our safety. The staff is friendly and courteous, the food is quality bar food for the most part. Their burgers and fish sandwiches are our favorites. Of course one of the biggest reasons for deciding to dine here is they have thee best ice cream parlor attached to the Tap Room. Everyone loves Abbott's custard. It's a must have if visiting Rochester. read more

This Seabreeze Bill Gray's is pretty good but ordered the chicken sandwich. Bread was moldy. My husband ate the same thing it by the time I saw it he ate it all. So we're not sure if he ate any mold. He eats really fast so he didn't notice it. He did have some gastro upset for the next three days. But who really knows. They were great about it. Got a refund and a gift card. Mistakes happen but just be on the look out. I'll stick to more common items from now on. Btw. Their rewards program is great. I have been back since. I did wait some time though. read more

Nice place, quick quality fast food, seafood and ice cream. I recommend the the place

Stopped for a milk shake last weekend. We were absolute appalled at the lack of cleanliness of the grounds and the eating area outside. There was garbage from the previous night strewn all over the parking lot and eating area. What's more is the staff was very slow and couldn't care less about customer service. Very disappointed. read more

Tonight I saw a staff member wipe her gloved hands on her T-shirt and then her shorts and then put her hands in a container of pickles to give a serving to a customer. Same employee put her gloved hands on the dirty counter while she gabbed with a coworker and went back to the pickles to serve another customer with those dirty gloves on her hands! Why is there no utensil for the pickles? Any thoughts to food safety? So gross! No adults are present and there seems to be no one managing. The restaurant is dirty and out of control. I'm picking up food for my neighbors and I'm seriously glad I'm not eating the food here. This place is disgusting. Got a pic of the girl who clearly is clueless about safe food handling and all of the crap on the floor. read more

I ordered two root beer floats. Each one had two scoops of the vanilla custard. Then the girl didn't even put half a bottle of root beer in a medium size container. The bottle of root beer she used still had 1/3 Root beer in it. By the time the foam calmed down, the root beer didn't even cover the ice cream Worst root beer I ever had read more

Food is good, but service is always really, really slow even if you're picking up a to-go order.

Returned to Bill Grays for a flight of beer and a burger. Tap room was fairly busy but found a seat easily. We ordered the special burger combo-two cheeseburgers with an order of fries ( upgraded to sweet potato waffle fries) for $11.99 with coupon available online. My flight consisted of the Saranac pumpkin ale ( my favorite) , Stoneyard Peach Kolsch, Rorbach blueberry ale and Stoneyard Chocolate Almond Custard Stout. All this yumminess for $8.00! On to the burger-they accommodated my Keto again but serving the burger on lettuce. Everything was delicious and our server/ bartender ( how he managed the whole room and bar by himself with a smile and great service is mind boggling !) was awesome! This is a hidden gem. Why would you sit in the main room when you can watch college foot ball or Cash Cab or enjoy a crackling fire in the Tap Room! Be sure to try it! read more

Came here after having drinks down the road at Marge's. It's a quick drive but you can walk too. We all wanted a quick bite that would fill us up after soaking in the sun and cocktails. It was pretty quite for a weeknight at 8:45, we walked right in and ordered. We all ordered a "World's Greatest Cheeseburger", with different fixings. As well as onion rings and fries to share! Service was fast, food was really good...especially the onion rings...crispy and not oily. *** make sure you have a coupon for buy a cheeseburger get one free*** Pros: great location fast service cheeseburgers free soda refills coupons outdoor seating Cons: close at 9pm on Sunday-Thursday close at 10pm Friday & Saturday miss the pickle station, used to be able to fill your own read more

It was just okay. There are better locations in the area who care more about the product they're putting out. It was around 5:30pm on a Thursday when we arrived. I don't feel it was busy enough to warrant the issues we experienced. Lukewarm food, items forgotten off our order, melty custard from the Abbott's window, and multiple drink syrups on the fountain machine being out. It's a novelty stop if you're at the lake, otherwise go someplace else for your cheeseburger. read more

Bill Gray's Seabreeze - Cheeseburger/ red hot "great plate" - Hot Dogs Near Me - Rochester, New York

I've given this place more than a few chances. It used to be high quality. Fast service. Last four times. Visited because it's close by . French fries were stale. Cold. Fish fry was okay. If you just went with the center part, the rest was dried out and tasteless. The coleslaw tasted old and sour. The time before that ordered veggie burgers. Tasted so much like garbage I returned it. They gave me another one. Tasted just as bad. I threw it out. The only thing good I'll say is the ice cream is awesome. But even then, I got overcharged on an order. I had to go back in and the girl at the counter was argumentative. Even though I had given her a couple of dollars tip , and she agreed her math was wrong. Not worth it anymore. Don's Original tastes much better! read more

Rochester Americana on the banks of the oceanic Lake Ontario. The burger was great...nice add on is the texas hot relish that Ted's Hot Dog's employs...maybe the same brand (or some serious industrial espionage was done). Fries were a bit of overfried krinkle cut but cooked to wooden consistency (didn't really matter was there for the burger..), but I saved them for feeding the seagulls (aka River Chickens in the 1000 Islands) One will notice in addition to being on the banks of LO, the amusement park sits nearby....so I suspect this place is jammed in the summer. I saw a very plump man chow down on a Garbage Plate outside the eatery...so the classic Rochester soul food is offered here as well. If you can't finish everything...plenty of Canada geese, gulls, and fish (off the jeddy and bridge which flows into Irondequoit Bay) will gladly finish your leftovers. read more

I love this location by the water. In the summer it's busy with people from Seabreeeze and the Bay, in the winter it is quiet. I always get the mushroom Swiss burger or cheeseburger melt.

I walk in around noon on 12/17/18, and a couple of employees on my right look at me as I walk toward the counter. The gal with blue hair proceeds to get an ice cream sandwich and eats it while talking with the other. I wait, and wait, and WAIT. Finally, the ice cream gal stops talking to her coworker, sets her ice cream sandwich, and saunters over to the register. She rings me up for a bacon burger, even though I ordered a double. I go toward the booths, and pass by 6 or 7 until I find one that least needs a wipe down. read more

Slowest service ever!! Ordered cheese burger meals for 3 and took over 40 minutes to fill order. Not as much as an apology for slow service.

I am looking forward to giving "the worlds greatest cheeseburger" another chance. read more

It's bill grays food and when you come here in the off season (not summer) there is little to no wait. I will say I'm not a fan of their garbage plates, the home fries were a little under cooked and the flavoring of the sauce was lacking it was just hot but not much else. Their burger with bbq and bacon is pretty delicious, nothin fancy but still good. Overall, you get what you expect from any other bill grays location. They also now have bottled pop which they didn't use to have, at least at this location. read more

Nothing is better than a white zweigle hot dog and finish off with a delicious abbotts ice cream for dessert. Like all places prices have gone up but still worth it. I start my summer with both these items and end the summer with the same. read more

Korina was fantastic, friendly, accommodating & a delight to deal with. Food is good but service was even better.

If you're baking, then you might use "Fill Trays". I wonder if they use those at Bill Grays. I'm going to be pondering this for awhile... excuse me. This is one of my favourite Bill Gray's, and I'm not the only one, it seems. It's right next to Seabreeze in one of the loveliest parts of town. I've been here two or three times, usually when I'm visiting the beach. I tend to get the World's Greatest Cheeseburger, and a Vanilla Custard from Abbott's which is part of it. I love them both, a lot. It's a very busy store, and understandably so. The location is absolutely fantastic, on Culver Road right by the lake and beach (next to Don's Original). The employees here are nice, and the products are excellent. Same price and menu as all of the other Bill Grays and Abbott's location. Despite the masses of customers, the parking is perfectly good. I recommend getting the "World's Greatest Cheeseburger" as it is very good, and of course some of the Abbott's Custard, but that's a separate business, so I'll review it separately. read more

don't get me wrong, the foods decent, but my complaint is more so revolving around the price. for the price of a burger and fries is over 10 dollars, despite the fact that it's a paper thin burger and your fingers slip through the soggy bottom bun. if you want a small side of baked beans, it's 4 dollars. let's assume you wanted a garbage plate with 3 sides, universally this would cost you 13-16 dollars anywhere else, but at bill grays it's 20 dollars. absolutely not worth the price, considering an entire can of beans is 2 dollars and they serve you half a can for 4. this place has been going down hill, in both the quality and the price. I wouldn't recommend going here for a "worlds greatest cheeseburger" it's thin, the bottom bun is always drenched in grease, and your spending way to much for what you get. however, this is what's expected from a coupon restaurant. read more

World's greatest cheeseburger! It reminds me of an old fashioned diner. It is really cute. I hope that you get a chance to try it sometime when in Rochester. I can tell from the menu that they are known for burgers, hot dogs, fish fry, milkshakes, & wings! read more

Out for a nice bike ride and stopped in for break. Large location inside and out. I wasn't in the mood for much more than water but when I seen the half off milkshakes daily 2:00-4:00 I figured why not! I went with the strawberry which was very good and great flavor. I wish I had a hungry as the food looked good and I never had a Rochester Area Plate but maybe someday. read more

I love Bill Grays but this is by far the worst Bill Gray's of all. We just visited on 2/21/21. The staff seems like taking an order and handing you food is bothersome. The tables and counters were filthy. The trash was overflowing. The service was incredibly slow despite not being very busy. The onion rings were over cooked and then were cold when we finally got them and the burger was lukewarm and dry. read more
