I'd actually give 4 1/2 stars if I could because there was only one thing that could have been better. The food was excellent; I had the Friday fish fry and it was delicious! I got a nice sized piece of fish that was beer battered and cooked beautifully, and the fries were very tasty. I ordered extra slaw because places never seem to give you much, and that was good too. They also gave me plenty of lemon, which is another thing that some places are skimpy with. Overall, I really enjoy my meal! The only negative is that the food was a little cold so I had to re-warm it first. It came in a pizza box, which I thought was strange, and that might have had something to do with it. But I'll definitely order the fish fry again, and I'll probably try something else as well! read more

A solid spot that my partner and i wanted to get ton on park Ave. interesting place with solid wait staff. Very friendly and interested in making us happy. Food was ok. Chicken special could have kept more sauce. Just missing something more. Curious if this opinion changes in the future Nice feel. Lots is younger folks. But that's ok. We look forward to coming back. read more

We enjoyed sitting outside in the cool breeze. (Weather conditions will vary, of course.) I got the Ghostrider burger. I recommend you get the Ghost pepper sauce on the side so you can taste it first and be in control. I like spicy food and it was hot. My wife got a Caesar salad that she liked a lot. My daughter got a "Royale with Cheese", (homage to Samuel L. Jackson and Pulp Fiction.) IYKYK. read more

I took my mother for lunch on Saturday. The male servers that helped us was very thorough and kept lunch at a great pace. We ordered a sour beer pint and espresso martini for drinks $19 total. The tomatoes bisque was a very large bowl served with a mini grilled cheese to dip. My chicken panini had a fantastic aioli and balsamic, but the grillled chicken cutlets had seen better days. The side ceasar was typical. My mother had a burger topped with mushrooms and cheese and an side of sweet potato fries tossed with brown sugar. She commented the burger was very juicy. The portions are overdone and we brought home half a sandwich and soup. It appears they promote football and offer some nice specials during the game. read more

What a great experience. Visited right after Christmas and just wanted to unwind and relax. They have perfect tables for 6 and comfortable seating throughout. Our waitress was fantastic and the other employees were friendly too! We got Momosas and their bloody Mary's are amazing! It was just after breakfast so they were switching over to lunch, but they made an exception since we had family visiting from Boston and Canada. The food was delicious, came hot and cooked to perfection. Can't wait to visit again. read more

The buffalo chicken pizza was extremely greasy but okayish? I got a virgin version of the pomegranate cocktail and it was also just ok. The cost was super cheap so that was nice. I think for the cost the food was fine but it's probably not gonna be a first pick for me and I'm not sure I'd come again read more

This is on a very busy street in Rochester, especially on a Sunday morning. There didn't seem to be a wait at this place, compared to other restaurants across the street, so we decided to check it out. It seems like a nice sports bar to go to on game day with multiple TV's and a good drink selection. They have BOGO mimosas and bloody Mary's on Sundays, so my mom and I each got a mimosa to start. Their brunch menu has some good selections! I decided to try the French toast casserole and my mom got the chicken and waffles. Mine was good, the only complaint was that the bottom was a tad burnt. It seems like they tried to cover it up by putting it face down on the plate. My mom enjoyed her chicken and waffles. It had homemade chicken tenders and sausage gravy. Portions were large and neither of us could finish our meals. Overall, I would try this place again before a show in Rochester. read more

It was semi-difficult finding a decent restaurant open on Saturday afternoon during Labor Day weekend. We settled for this place for lunch. There was a lobster roll special for $30 which had plenty of meat. However my partner said it was salty. The marry me salmon was nice and flavorful, but slightly fishy. The cocktails were good and $13. Server was friendly and accommodating. We were looking at an older cocktail menu but he was able to make one of the drinks from it. read more

The place had a cool vibe and was clean. Service was fast and our waitress was very friendly. We got the Irish nachos, wagyu burger, and mango ghost pepper wings. Everything was delicious. The Irish nachos fries was seasoned well, the nacho cheese was great, the sour cream bacon and scallions was a nice touch. My wagyu burger was cooked perfectly, I do wish the burger itself was seasoned, it had bacon jam, crispy onions, lettuce and tomato. All these different flavors paired so well together. It was so good. I'm definitely getting that again. The chicken wings were crispy and we liked the sauce. We will definitely be back. read more

First time eating here. Wanted to try some place different on Park Ave. The food was ok. My husband has the homemade corned beef hash and he says that it's the best that he's had so far. He loved it. I had the chicken and waffles and it was just ok. The chicken was fried well but lacked seasoning. Just a touch of salt would have made it great! Service was a touch on the slower side but the server was nice and didn't seem overwhelmed. We had a nice seat on the outdoor patio to enjoy the fabulous weather so the setting was perfect. We would probably go back because of my husband and the corned beef hash but I would give some of the other menu items a try to see if my review of the place changes. read more

Took a great walk along Park Ave. this past weekend and stopped in for a snack. Grabbed a order of garlic parm wings and they were really good. They were crisp and the garlic sauce was really flavorful. Service was slow because they were seating people both inside and outside and so the staff had to keep going in and out. Hint: to get the deal you may need to sit at the bar instead of a table. I didn't know this until after I was seated. Ugh. read more

Stopped by for some drinks and had a great time! I got the lavender haze (for the Taylor Swift reference) and loved it! It was gin, lemonade, and berries and very refreshing and balanced. Service was super friendly and the bartender would check up on us regularly. Definitely will come back and try their food options as well. read more

Made reservations for a Saturday evening for four-though it didn't look busy from the outside, the inside told a different tale. We arrived a few minutes early, so had to wait a couple of minutes, but we were seated at a booth within a reasonable timeframe, still earlier than our reservations. Good, mixed crowd, vibrant .... Crystal was our waitress and she did a great job, especially considering how busy they were. We ordered a couple of pizzas (margarita was better than pepperoni) mac and cheese, and a couple of burgers. All was good, and I'd argue that the burgers were the best out of all we ordered-they were really good. Would definitely return in the future. read more

Nice looking place we ate once before and liked. This time, not so much. We went in about 8:30 on a Saturday morning with 2 other tables in the restaurant. With almost no one there, our food took a long time and both orders were wrong. One was supposed to be an egg sandwich, it was eggs on one plate and toast on another. The server asked if she wanted it as a sandwich which she confirmed. My breakfast was an omelet, but the bacon that was supposed to be in the omelet came on the side. read more

Burgers, drinks and service were wonderful. Would definitely come back again. Thank you

the service here was very slow and it did not seem very clean. food was meh and not worth the money. I'd try else where if your considering going to eat here. read more

Met a friend for dinner after work last week, it was close to Stever's. Hostess seated us right away, waitress was really nice, took our food and drink orders, quickly and accurately. I had a burger while my friend had a salad, we both enjoyed our meals, fresh, hot & delicious! The French fries are spirals(?) super thick and super delicious, could eat those for hours. Price was fair for 2, definitely going to be back when in Park Ave area, thanks for the good meal. read more

Food was ok - typical diner food. Nothing special. Service was quite slow. Won't be going back.

Beyond the worst experience in Roc. We waited over an hour and half everyone around us was getting served. When our food came it was ice cold. No apologies, no fixing it, no drink refills, had to beg for water. Left hungry after 2 hours. Could not be more disappointed. Would never suggest or go back. read more

Visiting area and are dependent on reviews and suggestions. So far 0/2. General review, Blu Wolf has the blandest food on the planet. We got the blu wolf breakfast with eggs, home fries, bacon and toast. Not one item had any flavor whatsoever. I mean nothing. I don't even think the eggs were real eggs more like the powdered eggs (see photos, they were crumbly). The toast had no butter and there was no jelly. My husband's order was completely wrong but he's too nice to say anything. Then again we never saw our server. The home fries aren't really potatoes, I know they came frozen in a bag and reheated in an oven, which is fine but throw on some salt, paprika, onion or garlic. I tried dousing it in ket hup for flavor, still wasn't enough. We ended up leaving most of it. I ate my bacon, because ... bacon. It was crispy. Service was slow and non-attentive. I got one refill on my $4 coffee when we finally saw our server to get the check. No one ever asked if we needed anything or if anything tasted good. Yes it was Saturday but early afternoon and the brunch crowd was gone. Finally, for what it is, it was overpriced. No thanks. read more

Dropped in for a couple of beers on a Friday evening. The outdoor seating was packed by 5:30 pm. Though I didn't eat anything as I had other plans for the evening, the dishes on the other tables looked delicious. The menu seems pricey but the quantity is good! The ambience is great and staff friendly. I did see this place get crowded on other Friday nights when I walked by. read more

I was trying to give this place the benefit of the doubt cause I could tell they were short staffed but everything was just off. From the food to the service. They were out of several items on the menu and the service was subpar. Never once did they ask us how our food was. By the time we ordered drinks we were done with our food. Just was kinda disappointed. The menu said crispy Brussels clearly they aren't. Just wasn't impressed sorry read more

Went here recently and thought it was pretty good! They had some okay drinks and very interesting burgers. I played it pretty safe and ordered their green thumb burger which is essentially their veggie burger. It was actually one of the better veggie burgers I've had, but it didn't stay together well. Some of the other notable burgers was their game of the day burger (that night was ostrich) and the Chester which is a burger deep fried and covered in Cheetos. The person I went with ordered that and said it was weird but not bad. The place had a great atmosphere and overall, it was a good experience! read more

This could have been a 4.5 star review. However, service was very slow and the server forgot several things at times. We came here for lunch on a weekday. It was quite bustling. I loved the decor and ambience for sure. We got the Meat of the day burger with sweet potato fries, the ghost rider with tots and the blue cheese cake milkshake. The food overall was very good. The meat was bison. That burger was all about highlighting the meat, so simple with greens, tomatoes, cheese. My brother got the bacon cheddar bun instead of the regular one. I found the taste of it all decent. It was a little plain for my liking. The ghost rider was awesome! The party was more like minced meat put together but falling apart a little (I liked that). The well-done was just the side of well-done I like. It came with jalapeno peppers, a ghost pepper sauce of some sort, greens, spinach and the bun had some jalapeno and cheese on top. It was flavorful, tasty, spicy and VERY filling. I didn't finish about half of it. The sweet potato fries were good but lost flavor in the evening. The tots were a little harder than I normally like but decent. The milkshake was definitely YUMMY! Lots of blue cheesecake, sweet and quite heavy. Came in a mason jar, which I loved. Would've liked a wider straw as the cheesecake crumbles kept getting stuck in the thin straw. Definitely on the expensive side as for our three items and a diet coke, we ended up paying $60. Guess I'm still hanging on to prices from a few years ago when I lived here. read more

Delicious brunch and friendly staff. We used to stop by for dinner often when we lived nearby, but today we were looking for a distanced opportunity to have brunch (that someone else made...). I hadn't realized Blu Wolf had brunch options. After asking way too many questions about the menu, we wound up with breakfast tacos and the lawful waffle. Both excellent, and paired well with our BOGO bloody and mimosa. Now...if I could just convince them to add cheese to their Bloody Mary toothpick, and to add a beer chaser.... read more

I wanted to like this place but I didn't have the best experience. The waitress was friendly and attentive. I ordered the "wild game" burger which happened to be "elk". I'm sure it was mostly beef mixed in because it tasted like a normal burger but was $23!!! What robbery! I also thought maybe they would top it with different toppings since they had a bunch of different style burgers - NOPE just lettuce, tomato and onion... oh and a hair! Our waitress did get a new one made pretty quickly. I found another small hair on the fries so was super turned off! She also offered a second alcohol beverage "on them" because of the hair. It ended up being on the bill anyways. I just wanted to get out of there so didn't even mention it. read more

Brunch Date. No reservations for less than 6 people. So you take your chances on whether there is a wait or not. We got a table right away. Mimosas and Bloody Mary's are 2 for 1 during weekend brunch. Service was friendly and efficient. I ordered a brunch dish which the waitress pointed out came with BBQ sauce (not on the menu). I was able to get that on the side. The bathroom was clean but could use an update. The toilet was hard to flush. Parking is street parking so you will be searching for parking as it's Park Ave. read more
