The sink was particularly disgusting, with what appeared to be mucus and blood left behind. This was completely unacceptable and made me question the overall cleanliness and hygiene of the restaurant. The shift manager who took our order was also not very friendly and was quite short with us. The customer service felt unwelcoming and added to an already disappointing experience. Overall, the restaurant was gross, the hygiene was unacceptable, and the service was not welcoming. Very disappointing.

This is my FAVORITE pizza place. Been going to this place for probably two decades now. They are…read moreremarkably consistent. Derek and his crew make a great pizza, and their wings are also sneaky good. We usually interchange between cheese, pep, sausage, and then pepperoni/red pepper. It doesn't matter, it's good. The service has also always been top-notch. We were a little late with our order the other night, but they kept the place open and it was so, so good. We typically do takeout, but there is a decent-sized dining area. I love these guys and I highly recommend giving them a try.

We were recently dog sitting nearby Pizza Chef's Perinton location, and were recommended to go here…read morefor pizza and subs. Specifically, we were told to either get their turkey sub, made with fresh-roasted-in-house turkey and their delicious bread, OR the taco pizza. We couldn't decide so we got both, figuring we could always eat left overs. The time of our order was peak lunch time rush, and it took about 30 min to get our food. We saw them making the pizza and subs fresh, and we also observed a lot of other diners, some regulars, enjoying their food and the conversation with the staff. Everyone was friendly and happy. We took our order back to where we were staying and dug into the pizza. It was a little salty for my personal taste buds, but not my husband's - he really loved the flavors. I was impressed with the crust - which is always a mark of a good pizza in my book. I would get this again, but would ask for something like a side of ranch or blue cheese to help cut the saltiness. Later that same day we ate the subs. The turkey sub was easily - seriously - the BEST turkey sub I had had in a very long time. Maybe ever. The fresh-roasted turkey, the fresh fillings - lettuce, tomato, cheese, onion, and the Italian dressing - all were the perfect flavor profiles and amounts. The whole sammy was well balanced, so no one ingredient dominated. We had ordered a large, again, with left overs in mind, and cut it into pieces. I added mayo, and just thought it was moist, really tasty, and total comfort food. I would drive across the city to get that sub again. Pictured here is the pizza; by the time we at the subs I forgot to take more pics! Couple other notes: Pizza Chef is in a plaza where there is plenty of parking. They sell soda in a case as well as ice cream, and have quite a large menu that includes wraps, sandwiches and subs (hot and cold), lots of different signature pizzas plus a breakfast pizza and options to build-your-own, plus a variety of fried sides like fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers, etc. They also have wings and salads. Definitely check them out if you haven't already. And get that turkey sub. You won't regret it!

I ordered the wings and was very pleased with the quality and flavor of sauce. They were saucy and crispy. The only thing I don't like is you can't choose more than one sauce for an order of 10, they ask you to order two 1/2 orders which costs more than the order of 10. The menu itself is very limited, wouldn't mind seeing an upgrade with some newer items as the menu has been the same for as long as I can remember. The service was great. Our server was very helpful and consistently checked on us to make sure we had all we needed. Typical bar atmosphere; the restaurant is split into two with a bar area and then a seated area away from the bar. There are TVs all around so you can catch a game from any seat.

Plenty of topping and just the top 1/2" or so of the outer crust edge.

I arrived hungry and excited to try the food, especially after hearing good things about the restaurant. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to my expectations. The black beans tasted like they came straight from a can and had virtually no flavor. The chicken was tender enough, but the only flavor I could taste was salt. In fact, it was so salty that I found myself reaching for the green sauce with almost every bite just to make it enjoyable. Without the sauces, I don't think I would have finished the meal. Be prepared to drink plenty of water afterward. On the positive side, the customer service was friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. The prices are definitely reasonable, and you get a good amount of food for your money. Overall, it's an affordable lunch option with great service and a clean environment, but the food itself could use more seasoning and flavor beyond salt. For that reason, I'm giving it 3 stars.

Mr. BoBo makes all of the food in-house and it's made fresh, he is the nicest guy you'll ever meet too. Keep in mind that this is not a sit-down place, in fact there are no tables, so you'll need to treat as take-out only. His entrees cost like $10-$14, but portions are massive. You'll have leftovers for a while. Each dish comes with a meat (chicken wings or ribs), and 2 sides (yams, mac and cheese, collard greens), cornbread, and rice. You can add shrimp for like $3 more. The flavor you guys, the flavor. I have never liked collard greens until I had this man's collard greens, the flavor from the ham-hock is indescribable. The mac and cheese is creamy and seasoned well, the yams are as sweet as candy. The complimentary pieces, the cornbread and the rice are just as good. The rice tastes like chicken and the cornbread is cake, literal sweet, delicious cake. Moving on to the meats, both ribs and chicken wings fall off the bone and BoBo's house-made sauce is A MUST. Every time I eat it, my taste-buds are assaulted by the tenderness of the meat, the flavor and the sauce. Plan on not moving for a while after eating BoBo's because you will be full and in a good way.

I loved how she described the menu and the way she shared some aspects of her recipes in the descriptions to let me know how/why what she puts out is special and different. Due to it being a small place, I could hear into the kitchen. I had the opportunity to hear, fully, how she's simultaneously running the front end and coaching a newly hired kitchen staff in the back. She was not shouting, not yelling, she was coaching. It will pay off. For the owner and how she runs her business, 2 stars. I got the chicken wing dinner. Was fine. Not note worthy. So 1 star for the food. Everything needed seasoning. And when I get wings, my preference by far is to have them sauced. My 2oz soufflé cup of sauce on the side is not going to make me return. For anyone who has read my other reviews, you know coleslaw is an addiction for me. I had to add my wing blue cheese to it for moisture. Again, well thought out and fresh. Just not my style preference. It's clearly popular. The take out line was full. I'm glad. She/they work hard and take pride. Better than fast food chicken, but can't compete with the great pubs and taverns in the area. Different animals all together.
