    Time for a late breakfast!
    Mike M.

    If anyone is familiar with my post they should know that I am a pretty big man of diners. It's amazing how many we have here in Rochester and I haven't run through them all yet so this weekend I decided to try out Billy's homestead. As you can see it's on empire boulevard near Baytown plaza. Pretty cozy little spot there's only about a dozen boots and three or four tables. Menu's not very original eggs omelettes skillets they're pretty much breakfast and lunch except for Fridays. I got three eggs sausage pancakes and home fries. It's been more than I usually order I'm typically Ann eggs meat toast potato guy. But Billy's basic breakfast comes in at 8 bucks!. So I decided why not spend an extra buck and get an extra egg and the pancakes. Got the eggs scrambled cuz I wasn't getting toast they were okay little undercooked for how I like them. The sausage was a little disappointing. Seems like you're generic brown and serve. The home fries were a very big disappointment. They were just sliced potatoes grilled didn't really have a lot of flavor didn't really a lot of texture. Even the red hot couldn't really save them. Last up were the pancakes. Now personally I like my pancakes of a nice crust on them from from cooking on the grill. The taste of these were okay and they were decently sized but flavor and texture were both kind of meh.

    He's two and he loves the kiddy pancakes and sausage.

    I ordered a 14" Godfather sub with mayo, dressing, lettuce, tomato, onion, and roasted red pepper…read more The price was ok at $18, but when I got it home I had to open it up to find the toppings. I ate half of it and only found three tomato slices a few onions, and a smattering of lettuce. I couldn't find a pepper. Normally there would be lettuce spilling out of a closed sub. It looked like there were no toppings. Very disappointed. Just putting out this review if others had the same opinion. Maybe they just don't put many toppings on the sandwiches here

    Ok, I like you dear reader have been to one of these DiBella's locations. Either to do take out or…read moreeat in. It's been forever since I've been and yes I have a location closer to where we live, but my friend and I were in the area for a class and she's never had their subs. So this location is part of a large strip mall. The inside is like most of the locations kind of dark and the sandwich making is very light and bright. The staff was helpful and made us some good sandwiches. I had the Roast Beef with all kinds of stuff on it on Plain Bread. I'm gonna be honest usually there bread is hard so it's one of the reasons I pass on this place, also they don't toast subs or have hot red pepper spread. That's just me though. My friend got The Godfather and she really enjoyed it it had all sorts of things on it and for a first time visitor she liked it, it's now off of here Rochester Food Bucket List. As for me I really enjoyed my sandwich but it missed something for me maybe I should have gotten banana peppers for a little kick of heat. The bread is good but those subs get messy as you eat them. We ate inside and other than us inside was a few people doing pick up. The place could have been a tad cleaner. If you don't wanna do a sub with bread you can do a salad version. I give them a 3.5, staff is good, food tasty, but it needs to be a little tidier. They share a parking lot.

My companion's Philly Cheesesteak was steamy hot, full of melted cheese and loaded with flavorful meat and veggies. It was an impressive looking sandwich, and I'm not surprised it's her all time favorite at Charlie's. Charlie's has operated since 1969 serving hungry customers in the Rochester area. It's a casual restaurant, where you order at the counter. The menu is on the wall. It isn't too excessive, but it's a good idea to check it out on their website beforehand--especially if it's your first time. I always need more time to decide what to have. My sandwich with marinara sauce on the side was extremely well done. The meat was very moist and tasted good. Our sides, onion rings and mushrooms, also were perfectly breaded and we enjoyed it a lot. I'm sure this place doesn't need any recommendations. If you are around and hungry for some traditional and comforting food in a casual atmosphere, just check Charlie's.

The place is always packed with people, especially on the weekends but plenty of seating. You have to get the garbage plate! My favorite is always with the home fries, red hots and Mac salad. Put the hot sauce meat sauce all over it and a side of sweet pickles and it's perfection! My son had fries and chicken tenders but after trying my garbage plate he left the fries and chicken tenders alone. My husband played it safe with a bacon cheeseburger. Honestly it was more like a smash burger and bacon was cooked to perfection; nice and crispy. He did get the hot sauce meat sauce on the side and said it elevated his burger. I know in Rochester there's garbage plates everywhere because it's what Rochester is known for and I've tried many places but Charlie's wins, hands down. Highly recommend. I will be returning!

Jersey Mike's is one of my daughter's favorite places to eat, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. When I walked in, a young man greeted me and asked what I wanted to order. I told him I wanted a steak sub, plain with only lettuce. He told me to wait a moment and went to get another employee. A young woman then came out and asked what my order was, so I explained again that I wanted a plain steak sub with lettuce. I then told the young man I wanted another cold sub. While looking at the menu, I saw that they offered chicken salad, so I ordered a chicken salad sub. After that, I told him I also wanted a turkey sub. He responded, "Is this your last sub?" I told him yes. While my last sub was being made, I noticed the young woman wrapping my steak sub without lettuce. I politely told her that I had asked for lettuce. She stopped, gave me a blank stare, rolled her eyes, and did not respond. At that point, it was around 8:50 p.m. I asked the young man if they were about to close, and he said they closed at 9. I told him I could tell they were trying to leave because of the customer service I was receiving. I explained that I come to this location regularly, have always received excellent customer service, and had never experienced anything like this. He told me they had things to do after work and that he was trying to get out of there. I explained that the restaurant was still open and that customers should not be rushed or made to feel like an inconvenience for ordering before the posted closing time. If there is a cutoff for taking orders, it should be clearly communicated. The situation then escalated. He told me he did not have to serve me my food, refused to give me my order that was already made and told me to leave. I asked why because I had not cursed, raised my voice, threatened anyone, or been disrespectful. I simply questioned why I was being treated this way.I asked for his name he was mot wearing a name badge and he refused to give me it. He then told me that if I did not leave, I would be considered trespassing and that he would call the police. He ultimately called the police in front of my children, refused to serve my food, and I had to leave. Jersey Mike's has cameras inside the establishment, and I strongly encourage management to review the footage from the moment I walked in until the police were called. The cameras should show exactly what occurred. I am a Webster resident and know that Evan Myers and his Jersey Mike's franchise do a lot for the community. That is why I sincerely hope this interaction does not represent how customers who do not look like the employees are treated. As a Black customer, I am deeply concerned about whether race played a role in how I was treated. This is also personal to me because I worked at a sub shop when I was younger--Bella's--and we understood that customers deserved respect until closing time. We never rushed customers, rolled our eyes at them, or treated them poorly because they came in before closing. I am extremely disappointed that a simple dinner order escalated to having the police called in front of my children. I am asking management to review the footage, speak with the employees involved, and explain why my order was refused while the restaurant was still open. I hope Jersey Mike's takes this seriously and ensures that every customer, regardless of race or background, is treated with professionalism, respect, and dignity.The male employee gave me his name once police were called Alex He works evenings to close.
