visited Sunny's after hearing about its legendary batavia legacy, however, it fell short. I would…read moregive it another chance down the road but there is a lot of work to be done here. First, the menu is chaos. For being reservation only, there's no way all that food is fresh when you're turning away guests and not turning tables- would be scared to order seafood here after the state of the arugula I saw. ambiance: first, the lighting. oh my god. why is there white bright light bulbs in a steakhouse? is this a hospital? also why is the music playing out of a television? it sounded like a guy may have been playing it on his cell phone. the bar seemed nice and i was terrified we'd be sat up top where it looks like you could be interrogated or learn algebra. It is clear that this place was driven by US foods, hell, it's right there on the menu. In 2025, that's unacceptable. Spending upwards of $100 on a dinner for two to be served what is basically mall food court fare is insanity. Even the best chefs couldn't make that distributor look good. Let's start with apps. The antipasto although cutesy seemed like a waste, most people would prefer a roll. The utica greens were decent but no cannellini beans is a huge miss and the sauce was thin. The toasty bread didn't have any brown spots like put that under a broiler cmon. The caprese steak should be an app but the balsamic was flavorless and cheap. Having chicken riggies on the menu with chicken as a $4 add on is crazy. There is no such thing as "riggies," it's chicken riggies. The amount of chicken in the chicken riggies was a disgrace. The veal milanese was fine, highlight being the mashed potatoes which were amazing, but strange to have mashed as an autoside with what should be traditionally served over pasta. the arugula was the worst ive ever seen, what could have been a simple peppery well dressed salad was wet, flavorless, possibly expired? it looked like if you went grocery shopping a week ago and tried to make it work We saw one kind gentleman turned away at the door to a restaurant that could clearly seat him and heard two servers say they only had one table each, that's crazy. another two top tried to get in but the stairs are not ADA compliant so they left. don't sell a french 75 if you don't know how to make it the right way Lots of kinks to work out, bad value and bad menu. The staff was trying their best but set up for failure.

We made a reservation for Saturday evening and arrived at the restaurant whose door is from the…read morebackside of the old mall adjacent to the former JC Penney store. We were seated immediately, we chose a booth on their lower level. There were several steps to enter this way. If you entered thru the mall steps could be avoided. The waitress was friendly and very informal. The menu was quite diverse. I ordered a prime rib in a twenty ounce size even though the menu only showed smaller options. My wife ordered a chicken parm Alfredo. The dishes were served after a couple of appetizers in a reasonable amount of time. The quality of the food was quite good. My prime rib had a sweet glaze unlike any other I have tried. The cost was quite reasonable as well. The entire evening was a success, we will be sure to return.

My sister and I took our mom out to dinner and picked this spot since it's closer to her than us…read more None of us had been before, so we were going in blind. When we walked in, another customer was raving about the food and telling us how much we'd enjoy it, which honestly made me feel a lot better about trying somewhere new in an unfamiliar area. The vibe is like a bar turned restaurant, dark and a little moody but not off-putting. My mom even got a cutesy leprechaun margarita, which made her smile. We started with 10 mild wings for the table, my sister got a Caesar salad and said the dressing tasted homemade, and this is where I tried French onion soup for the first time. It was okay, just really salty. My mom ended up finishing it, but I did like that the cheese layer wasn't too heavy. I'm still on the hunt for a French onion that really does it for me. I didn't get pictures of the mains, but my mom and I both got steak, I had mashed potatoes and she got a baked potato. My sister got the fettuccine alfredo and marveled at the flavor. She kept saying you can tell it's a local spot and not a chain just by the care put into it. My steak was good, nothing crazy but you really can't go wrong. The mashed potatoes were a little bland but still edible. My mom loved her meal and finished everything, while my sister and I both had leftovers. The only downside was the service. Our waitress wasn't very friendly, kind of impatient and a little passive aggressive, like we were bothering her just by being there. Given the lack of diversity in the area, it didn't completely surprise me, but it was still noticeable. We didn't let it ruin the night though. Overall we still enjoyed it and I'd go back if I'm ever in Batavia again. Reasonable prices, solid food. Taking everything into account, I'd give it a 6.9/10.

Oh how the mighty have fallen! I remember when this restaurant was opened by "Alex" and it was…read morefantastic. I knew Alex by mutual acquaintance and growing up in the same small town. He was a professional restaurateur who was paid to sit with celebrities at the posh places he worked in South Florida in the 70s. Whatever else is said, the man had high standards in food and dining experience. When he opened, and for years after the place was always packed and very popular. The food was high quality and your meal came with 2 sides, salad, hot bread and nice presentation at a reasonable price. Alex left the business several years ago and the current owner has run it for some time. Today was my first time back in several years. The outside looks dated and needs a refresh. I almost thought it was closed. It was 2:30pm on Saturday before Mother's Day and almost empty. I don't recall it ever not being full of people waiting at the bar for a table. Until today. The decor is ok although I don't care for the fringe lamps directly over your head. I was going to get ribs but decided on 10 oz prime rib ($32.00) comes with 1 side (I chose baked potato - only sour cream and butter is offered). No salad unless you pay extra! The warm bread was fine with two kinds of butter. My companion had the Kids spaghetti $(8.99). My prime rib came out and it looked about half the normal thickness it should be and in a puddle of juice. Even the server commented about why the kitchen did that. And it was warm, at best. No horseradish or other condiments were offered. No garnish on the plate. Just a thin slab of meat. The juice should have been in a separate cup. But the small baked potato was steaming hot! My companion had a giant pile of spaghetti with about a 1/4 cup of sauce on top! Too little for the mound of spaghetti. And it looked like cheap jar sauce and no meatballs. She didn't mind but I wasn't thrilled. And her fountain drink did not come with the meal ($3.99)! I had a lavender lemon drop martini that was ok. ($10). Ultimately the food is mediocre and it feels like they are cutting corners to keep prices down. But that means it's no longer the special place it used to be. Sad.

For a steakhouse in a small town i didn't have high expectations. My server Red was very lovely, checking in often and being very helpful. The hostess was also nice and the restaurant itself was nice, and surprisingly not too loud considering it's inside of the casino and was relatively packed during most of my meal. By no means the best steakhouse I've ever visited, but my steak was cooked nicely, my appetizer was good, my drink was potent but pretty well made. Only thing a little lacking were the sides. Mashed potatoes tasted over processed and like they've been sitting under a heat lamp and veggies were covered in seasoning but somehow still lacked any flavor. Neither were "bad" but just not up to par for a steakhouse, when good/great ones usually have very well executed sides typically. Spinach and crab dip was good and was huge! Herb butter on steak was nice, as well as a tasty tobacco onion topper. Their bread rolls are somewhat basic with a little Parmesan on them. Ordered cream brûlée as well and it was good (ate at home and held up pretty well). If you're craving steak and are nearby, worth a visit.

This LJS is a combo location along with a KFC…read more I stop here every time i pass through Batavia. The main reason is because this location doesn't fry the fish or hush puppies until you order it. You might have to wait a couple minutes longer, but the LJS items are always hot and fresh when they hand me my bag. I've eaten at locations from across the country. From Texas to New York and i can say with confidence that not all LJS serve their food made to order. For this i will continue to stop in every time i go through Batavia

LJS was one of my fav places growing up. Locations are few & far between nowadays, so whenever I…read moreget the chance to stop at one I do. My fam and I weren't far from this location, so we decided to stop here this particular Monday afternoon. The lady at the front was super sweet and she told us this location was the last one in New York State. Sadly, I saw why :( Food: 4/10 (only because my niece ordered from the KFC side and her food was fine), customer service 8/10. We ordered 3 different meals with fish, chicken, fries, hushpuppies, & coleslaw. The best thing we ate there was the hushpuppies. The fish came out very dark and greasy. It was inedible, so we took it back to the counter. The lady apologized and said they've been having issues with the fryer. They made us new fish and it was much lighter and fresher. (We dined in, so my question is, how are you even comfortable serving something like this when you see exactly what we see!!). But, the WORST part was the coleslaw. When you use the spoon to pick up a bite, it was "stringy" and "slimy". Never have I ever seen that consistency before. My 7 year old nephew said "yum, that's looks so cheesy". We smelled it, and it had a bit of a sour smell to it. We're almost finished, so we weren't even going to bother taking it back....UNTIL another customer we saw order left and came back inside to tell them her coleslaw was slimy. She was actually demonstrating with a spoon so the worker could see, and the worker was nonchalant and "yeah, that's just how it is, we make it fresh every morning". I was appalled and couldn't sit there quiet any longer. So i went to the counter with my two orders of coleslaw and agreed with the customer that mine was also stringy, had a slight odor and didn't taste good. That's when the worker finally offered us both different sides. I dont want to see the LJS brand go away. And my prior experiences have never been like this. The people are friendly, the restaurant was clean...but the food quality, terrible. Hopefully they make some changes to stay in business.

The tenders are famous so why wouldn't you get them?? This time we opted for the Buffalo tenders and a burger. The tenders were sauced perfectly. They were so good and the burger was cooked perfectly too. Between the popcorn they bring to the table, the sports bar vibe, the arcade games, and obviously the food, this is a spot with something for everyone.

I had heard that their chicken tenders are their go-to item, so that's what I chose, and I was not disappointed. There was a choice of dipping sauce and I went with their standard honey mustard, which I enjoyed. I can recommend Tully's as a good place to come to watch a game.
