Always good and reliable. Nikki is great as hostess and Mike at the bar couldn't be better. Good pub grub with excellent pizzas

I recently tried Green Front Restaurant for the first time, and it was an absolute rollercoaster of an experience. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing, but the front-of-house needs some serious help. We began with the fried pickle chips, which were amazing--served piping hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The kitchen is remarkably quick, too; almost immediately after our appetizers arrived, the staff was already at our table taking main course orders. For my entree, I ordered the chicken tenders and fries basket. The tenders were perfectly golden and incredibly crispy, served with a generous mountain of fresh crinkle-cut fries. I'd rate the tenders a solid 3.5/5--my only minor critique is that they could be a bit more generous with the dipping sauce for a portion that size. My dad also ordered a beer, which was poured beautifully with a nice head. Unfortunately, the front-of-house experience completely dragged the meal down with some glaring cleanliness and professionalism issues. I found a long hair wrapped right around the lemon wedge in my iced tea. To make matters worse, I watched the staff member pouring drinks rub her mouth right at the drink station before handling other beverages. Meanwhile, the lady behind the counter was completely disengaged, literally just scrolling on her phone instead of focusing on the dining room. The overall neglect was obvious if you looked around. Hanging directly above our dining table was a vintage wall thermometer covered in a heavy, flaking buildup of rust and grime--definitely not what you want hanging over your food. Even the bathroom was neglected, with trash and used paper towels left on the floor. If you are strictly judging by the kitchen's output, the food tastes fantastic and comes out incredibly fast. However, management desperately needs to invest in a deep clean and have a serious huddle with the staff regarding basic front-of-house hygiene. read more

Great spot to pop in for a quick lunch or just to enjoy the games. I came in around noon on a Saturday and there was plenty of seating available. I ordered their wrap and loved that they added ample dressing so it wasn't dry. I opted to sub the kettle chips for their macaroni salad which I highly recommended because it wasn't overly dressed up with mayo and had the right amount of celery for that crunch. Bonus because there's a parking lot across the street with plenty of spaces available. read more

Mo, a good friend and regular took us here to eat. Glad he did because everything was incredible. It's definitely a cool bar/restaurant. I tried the Dusted wings with an All the way Burger both were amazing. Also try the green front downtown golden ale pairs well with wings. Our server Allysa T kept the drinks flowing and was very personable. Plenty of free parking across the street. Bathrooms are clean read more

Consistent bar! Crispy wings (medium!) were my fave. French fries and chili were good and comforting. They had a seafood bisque and I did not like it at all - just tasted like cream. read more

We ran in here to get some dinner and out of the rain. Had a great cider pretzel and pizza with the husband. Even in a busy rush hour, service was amazing. Highly recommend. Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable about drinks and the menu. The pretzels were delicious. They were fresh and pillowy soft. The beer cheese made it perfect. We shared a chicken bacon Margherita pizza with a truffle balsamic vinegar drizzle. So good. Dough was thinner and crispy with a good yeast pull. Loved it. If we lived near here, we would definitely be back. read more

Great fish fry and good for conversation. This was our first visit. We'll be back soon!

My Dad lives in Geneva and we wanted to try something new, so we headed to the Green Front tonight. Small hole-in-the-wall off of one of the main drags in Canadaigua. Easy to find, plenty of free parking. We got there early on a Wednesday night and everyone was friendly and accommodating. The place had a pretty good crowd for late afternoon mid-week. My Dad had the fish fry and I had the fried shrimp basket with sweet potato friends. Both meals were fantastic, our server was great, and it was reasonably priced! Win! We will be back. read more

Repeat customer! Local bar restaurant that has that hometown feeling. The staff are always welcoming. Stopped in on a Sunday a little before 1pm and our party of 5 were seated immediately. Had a sample of the new Genesee specialty that was on tap...Black Cherry Vanilla Kellerbier. Food order was placed and received promptly. Everything was delicious...grilled veggies wrap with chips, small white garlic pizza, chicken sandwich, double house garden salad with chicken!!! read more

I had the veggie wrap with kettle chips and it was delicious. Loud bar atmosphere with lots of tv's.

Second time here. And we continue to be blown away. We're from Buffalo, but our first visit was so great, we won't ever pass through without stopping again. And their garlic parm wings are the best I have ever had. Strong statement for a Buffalo girl. Same for the chili... incredible. The staff is also so friendly, and a great lineup of drinks on tap. read more

We enjoyed our visit here a lot. Staff and management seems to really care, and are much more engaging than merely going through the motions. The fun and imaginative menu highlights wings and they did not disappoint. Our waiter helpfully suggested the extra crispy versions. Beer menu is solid too. The fish-and-chips was better than we have experienced anywhere in a long time. Had we stayed in the area longer, we would have come back. read more

Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. We had the wings, chili, soup of the day, and Caesar salad and were impressed by it all. Super friendly staff too! read more

Spacious restaurant with pretty good food overall. The pretzel was stuffed with cheese and it was so yummy. Unfortunately it was barely stuffed with jalapeños and was not spicy. The salad wasn't very fresh and was ok. The pizzas were good particularly the white garlic one. Good service and right on the Main Street in Canandaigua. read more

We arrived here late at night around 9pm. It was the only place that was opened for miles, since everywhere closes at 8pm. There is a convenient parking lot across the street with plenty of parking and handicap parking as well. The entrance is wide enough to be wheelchair accessible. Our bartender was really friendly. He greeted us and told us we could sit wherever we wanted. We choose to sit at the bar and he gave us food and drink menus. We asked him for recommendations an he suggested that dusted wings and the pizza. We decided to try the Downeast cide (original), and ordered the home sweet wings. The wing took a bit to be cooked about 15-20mins. They weren't that busy, but I imagine they didn't have much people working in the kitchen that late at night. We got our wings which were very hot and fresh. They were crispy and tender and came with blue cheese and some celery sticks. We shared the wings between us and had 5 wings each. We were pretty full and happy. The cider was really good too, very sweet and full of flavor. It's a pretty casual setting and there's plenty of seating avalible. read more

In Upstate New York at Lake Canadaguia for Labor Day and could not of asked for a more beautiful weekend with my cousins. The weather is cool at night and gorgeous during the day. The flowers and greenery is superb this time of year. After walking down Main St, we decided to stop at a local staple for lunch. Green Front is a go to place according to the store owners and has solid food choices for a bar like establishment. The restaurant is clean, welcoming and hosted by long time employees from the area. Each employee greeted us warmly and smiled. We had a brisket burger, cooked perfectly to our order, chips and an order of onion rings with the exact crunch needed. The dipping sauce was unique, a wickedly good bite and was use to dip the crust of our pizza. The rings were served warm, good amount and could of been a meal on their own. The large white garlic pizza with mushrooms and meatballs was huge and packed with flavor. If you are looking to fill up with a good meal and a reasonable price point, visit the Green Front in Lake Canadaguia. It has pasted the test of time. Nice meal. read more

It was 50 plus years since my last meal at the Green Front. The restaurant has evolved leaps and bounds. The size of the area's to dine was amazing. Very clean and comfortable. We had a party of nine and the staff was absolutely pleasant and accommodating to our family. The service and food were on point. We had pizza (very good), chicken wings (extra crispy) with garlic parmigiana sauce that was fantastic. We also had the big beefy sandwich which was tasty and packed with lean meat. The fries, grilled pickles, soup, and salad was well presented and easy to eat. We were very impressed by the staff and their willingness to make us happy. The Green Front will not disappoint and should be a must stop when you're in Canandaigua. read more

Delicious pizza and peanut butter pie! Waitress was the perfect blend of sarcastic and sweet. Quick service and love the atmosphere. The outside appearance can be very deceiving, once you go inside it's perfect. Will definitely be taking the drive back out there. read more

Nice little spot off the beaten path in a very unassuming location. This is a borderline 3/4 star restaurant all day. Wish I could say it was a solid four-out-the-door but the experience I had just wasn't. The good; food is delicious! I had a burger on the "heel" with bacon, cheese, crumbly blue and of course lettuce + tomato. Decent burger, better than average, but not the best I've had. Opted for the crinkle cut fries with what they call "dusting" (seasoning) on top. This seasoning had me praising the lord with its slightly spicy, mesquite and intriguing -flavor profile. Imagine old bay seasoning with some extra pizzazz to it. Fries were hot, crunchy and the dusting took it to the next level. Fries were a 10/10 for me. My lovely wife opted for the steak salad with blood orange vinegar dressing. She loved it. The not so good; service was rather lackluster. Started off great with a friendly bubbly server who was very personable and engaged with us. She then disappeared and never returned until we were finishing our final bites. We asked for more water and she completely forgot. They also forgot to bring our soup. Had she checked in on us earlier this would've been caught. We then waited an awfully long time for her to return to pay our bill that I just walked the check up and paid for it. Apart from the slight mishaps with service, I still highly recommend this place. Everywhere else in the area seems to be grossly overpriced and under quality. Will definitely return! read more

Visited Canandaigua for the day, and the Green Front was recommended by a local. We stopped in and were sat right away. I got a chicken ranch wrap, and my fiancé got fish and chips. My wrap was pretty good. My fiancé loved the fish and chips. The only thing is this place is a bit pricey. For example, I was charged $17 for the wrap, and it only came with bagged chips, no fries. Other than that, we would come back if we were in the area again as food was good as was the service. read more

Great pizza and wings. All the food is great! Nice restaraunt with great service in a great location!

This place was delicious!!! We've been having a hard time finding solid food up and around this area and this restaurant totally hit the spot. Kids meals were good, kids enjoyed the grilled cheese and cheeseburger/fries etc. We ordered a Caesar salad- homemade dressing always a winner. The French bread and butter thrown on the salad was so yummy. Their homemade chili was SO Delish Very happy with our meal. Easy to park. Clean place and good service.

Jessica A was our waitress and she was perfectly attentive. My better half ordered the tossed chicken fingers medium. She loved the taste. However, her fries were mushy, not crispy and probably we should've said how we like our taters. I had the loaded Nachos. Quite a plate and truly loaded. However, the hamburger was luke warm. Two cold beers as we like em for $37.03 was good. Restaurant is number one in town for a reason! read more

Great food and service. A new fave place to visit regularly. Great atmosphere. Great pizzas and sandwiches.

Food and service were fantastic. We were out to watch our daughter play college ball at Keuka College and found this place through yelp. We wanted something quick before we got on the thruway to drive home. We ordered the chili and the Parmesan garlic chicken tenders with the sweet potatoes. Wow, they were fantastic. Chili was very flavorful and got it extra spicy and it did not disappoint. The chicken tenders were great and the sweet potatoes.... Loved them. They had some of the Parmesan garlic sauce on them. Highly recommend. read more

Our family had the Large Polimeni pizza, which was fantastic! Very clean restaurant with a great atmosphere. Our server was lovely.

My family and I have loved this restaurant for a long time, but the quality of the food has gone downhill in our past few visits. We ordered takeout and were very disappointed in our meals given how expensive it was. Despite ordering "crispy" fries for a $1.50 up-charge, they were barely cooked and we were given tiny portions. Our burgers were also extremely pink, and the toppings were thrown on unevenly. I don't want to write a bad review for a local business, but we expected better. read more
