If I had a family I could see us going here every Sunday after church. I got a Reuben because I'm on the prowl for the best Reuben around that's not my own and so far this has been the best. Toasted perfectly, proportions were perfect all I needed was a little less cheese and for more corned beef coverage. Fries were seasoned nicely. Onion rings were not BAD but they were mid, edible. Rueben 8.2/10 Fries 7/10 (good fries I just have high standards) Onion Rings 4/10

They were down a few employees when we visited (the sign in the door said that they were looking for a chef), which is probably why it took quite a while to get our food. That said, our server was polite and attentive and kept our glasses full before and during our meal. Decor isn't the focus here--aside from a few pictures and other wall decorations, it's fairly stripped-down. You can tell that this is a popular place, as many of the tables were full, and people kept coming. You get the feeling that this is something of a gathering place, which is nice. There were lots of families, couples, and groups of friends. My aunt and uncle split the club sandwich and said it was very good. I got the salad bar, which was unlike the salad bars that I've had elsewhere. While there are some of the usual salad fixings--lettuce, chopped tomatoes, olives, minced onions, and diced peppers--there were also tons of mixed salads, too. There was tasty coleslaw, zippy pickle and pasta salad, and rich potato salad. It was like being at a mini church potluck and being able to take a scoop of everyone's family recipe (perfected over decades, of course). I was delighted by how fresh everything was (I'm pretty sure that the tomatoes had come out of someone's garden, and I want to know their secret), and the pickled beets were super tasty. All in all, I'd say this is a good option for a bite if you're stopping on your way to or from the Driftless Area. Do try the salad bar; it's tasty bit of soul-hugging nostalgia. Somewhat limited options for those with dietary restrictions, so probably not a good choice if you're dealing with allergies, sensitivities, etc.

I just kinda maybe wish they'd ask if they should first. the grilled cheese (paninied) is not what I intended but it is likely a better option than CFS plus eggs and grits... sandwich comes with sliced tomato and minced onion cooked in - the 10,000-degree press does wonders for the acidic sugar in the tomato; think sun-dried fruits that were actually dried in the actual sun. stuffed wavy-on-top-smooth-on-the-bottom toast with herb sprinkle presents well but I'm not sure what to do with the fork. shop is comfortable with seating available at a half dozen kitchen tables, a couple dinettes and wrought irony patio sets or a rumpus room couch. the hard part of casual is not trying to hard to look like you're not trying so hard. friendly and efficient CHoM pretty much nails it :-)

A tasty choice (check out the photo). Then I asked for a reuben sandwich with a side of fries. I really liked the two-tone rye bread. There was modest amount of corned beef. Notice I didn't say 'generous.' The kraut, Swiss cheese, and thousand island dressing were a solid compliment. BUT the fries.... Check out the photo and look at the fries. These were double dunked in oil, greasy and sogged out, slightly charred, and meh tasting. I looked over at another patron's plate of food and saw her fries looked perfect. Golden, single dunk in oil, and crisp. Can I add a sad face emoji here? I called over the bartender and had him look at my fries, then look at the other patron's, and tell me the difference. He saw what I saw. I told him what was wrong with mine and asked why. He apologized and said he'd take 50% off my food bill. I saw him go back to the kitchen and have a conversation about my fries, which I appreciated. He didn't blow me off and let the kitchen know they dropped the ball. I've eaten at a lot of places from dives to fine dining, and I think the sign of good eatery is one that can excel at the basics.....like french fries. Plus, when you have your "A" staff working in the kitchen, but your staff sends out subpar fries to a customer...what does that say about the kitchen staff and leadership? Will I go back? Not sure, but there other places I've eaten at in Rochester that are consistently good. If I ever have family or friends in town and we go out to eat, we're not going to Forager Cafe.
