One of our go-to places. The outside area is nice and the bar area is a great place to sit. It would be nice if they changed up the menu a bit. read more

This one is hard. Based on the food and particularly the value we experienced the 1 time we went, I'd be hard pressed to recommend Hose 22. Despite that I keep thinking about what I want to try next time I go. The atmosphere, scale and feel of the dining room is fantastic. It sort of feels like a Rochester version of Cheers. I love that they had all the doors open and the beautiful summer evening climate was enjoyable whether you sat inside or outside. This meant dealing with a few gnats or flies at our indoor table. I started with a Caesar side salad which was very good. The entrees we had were Salmon and Chicken Riggies. The Chicken RIggies were great. Not spicy at all but made-to-order so it could be made spicy. The pasta was perfectly tender but firm, the diced chicken was flavorful and easy to eat. It was THE most successful Chicken Riggie dish I've tried to date anywhere and I took the leftovers home to enjoy for lunch the next day, a rarity for me. The salmon was not a hit. It seemed pretty fishy especially in the areas that were thinner and had become chewier from the grill drying it out. What they call roasted corn is really 'chili powder roasted corn'. The chili powder flavor was quite pronounced and not very well integrated into the dish. It tasted like very ordinary corn with very ordinary chili powder sprinkled on it. I'm sure that isn't how the dish is made but that's what it tasted like. The Cheesy Eddie's carrot cake was absolutely perfect and tasted like it was just made. It's hard to defend the pricing. Our 2 entrees, 1 side salad, 1 soft drink and 2 small glasses of wine and 1 piece of carrot cake ended up being 145 dollars after tax and tip. If the wine pour had been a nice 9 ounce pour I would have had a single glass but I had 2 because they were small. Even with 1 wine this was going to be WELL over 100 dollars for 2 people even before tip. In any head-to-head comparison with something like The Distillery or Genesee Brew House, this pricing is probably out of line. If we go back, it will be with great appreciation for the setting and modest expectations for the food. read more

One of the better restaurants in Rochester. The soft pretzel special was amazing. Wings were pretty good. Burger was undercooked for my liking and fried pickles needed more crunch. Our server was very good. Cool decor. read more

This is a really fun place to visit. The restaurant is in a restored firehouse, with a firehouse themed menu. They do pizza really well, but they also have a smoker and many smokehouse items are on the menu. Large portions, friendly, and lively service, and a great bar, at prices that are sane. Lots of beer on drafter by the bottle, and a decent wine selection. We love it here. read more

Hose 22 Firehouse Grill in Rochester continues to prove why it's a local favorite. We had a fantastic meal here that hit all the right notes. The vibe is welcoming and laid-back (we visited between lunch and dinner), perfect for a casual outing with solid food and drinks. We started with the crispy shrimp appetizer, which came out golden brown and perfectly paired with a sweet chili sauce. The wings were meaty and slathered in a bold, sticky BBQ sauce, exactly what you want from pub-style wings. The white pizza was another winner: a bubbling, cheesy masterpiece with a perfectly chewy crust. The Caesar salad was fresh and crisp, rounding out the meal nicely. To top it all off, we enjoyed two cold beers that really hit the spot. Service was friendly, and the food came out hot and quick. If you're in Rochester and haven't been to Hose 22 in a while or ever, it's definitely worth a stop. Great food, great beer, and a cozy neighborhood feel that keeps people coming back. read more

Highly recommended local restaurant in Charlotte Beach area of Rochester, NY. Tributes to all firemen and women who service the people of Greater Rochester. Food is a wide array and you won't be disappointed. Had the mussels with an Italian sausage twist in the sauce. The artichoke spinach crostinis, white pies and salads were highlighted and recommended by my lunch companions. read more

The first time we came a couple years ago was rocky. Sat at the bar, got some waters while we looked at the beer and food menus and no one came back for 10 minutes or more so we left. Took us a while to go back but had 2 nice experiences after. The French onion soup was good and we are big critics of this. The chicken cutlet dish was delicious but pretty pricey. Chicken Caesar salad was plentiful but salad prices everywhere are outta control. Have a nice beer selection and best yet they have a patio and allow dogs. We are in the neighborhood and will be back! read more

My burger was over done and fries seemed like they've been in a warmer or bin for a long time. Definitely not fresh. I see so many great reviews for this place so will try them again. Perhaps it was just too busy of a Friday evening. My husband did enjoy his Mac n cheese. Ambiance is definitely cool. read more

The food overall was 3.5, the service was a 3. The "Why" behind the review: We went here to meet friends for dinner over the holidays and at first I thought this place was very cozy, and had an amazing atmosphere. The part that went wrong was the ordering of our food and when it came out. We ordered a couple of drinks and appetizers and they came and then we ordered the main entree and I kid not that within minutes the entree came out as we just started eating our appetizers so now I'm stuck with all the food and it felt very hurried. Typically, there should be some time in between the appetizer and entree but not in this case. I also noticed that at the end of our order, the waiter was looking to close out or pass us onto another waiter as his shift was ending so I wonder if there was any attribution regarding that we were his last customers. The food was ok, the mussels were excellent, however we could barely eat them, the salmon was ok, and the plating had way too much rice, could've done with 1/2 and more vegetables. My wife's salad was supposed to include chicken which we had to remind the waiter and he corrected this as it was already made but he initially forgot to bring it out. I think all these instances made me feel that the service was subpar and could've been better with the timing of food, forgetfulness, and maybe a bit hurried. I will give this place another chance because the food seems good but that night the service was not. read more

We had our lunch provided on Sunday. The food was amazing and they got all the orders right.

Excellent service all around. Great menu, lots of choices for everyone. 10 out of 10 will be back k

Busy Friday night! Very friendly staff. Wait was 15-20 mins but the texting system was fine. Bar area super cool. High ceilings! Party room upstairs and big dining area downstairs with lots of historic photos. Dining area out front. We had ribs, BBQ sandwich, and grilled chicken salad w strawberries. Great draft list, including ciders, though we had two wine drinkers who also left happy. read more

This is a well decorated restaurant in honor of the old firehouse and decorated well. 3 stars due to we visited during peak hours and a few things fell short. This easily could be 4-5 stars on a less busy or better day. We visited during peak hours and parking was limited. There is a parking lot and street parking, but during busy hours, guests may have to circle a few times to find a spot. Outside there was a fire ring which would be awesome to sit by with a few drinks on a warmer evening. We set reservations two weeks ahead of time which was an easy process. For a party of 7 on a Saturday night, the service was good. Tables with other guests were so close to each other it was uncomfortable. One in our party sat on the end in the main traffic aisle to the kitchen. There was no room at the other end since the table next to us was so close. Some of our party had to go to the restroom and it was described like a maze, which way can I weave and fit through best to get there? It was a situation once seated, it was like auditorium seating. At least one other person in your party has to move to let you out. Due to being so packed in, it was really loud! We wanted to enjoy a dinner and conversation but we could only hear the person next to us or across from us. This also lead to the server having to reach over uncomfortably to deliver food and drinks. When the food was ready, all was delivered but one dinner. They had a team of staff deliver so it wasn't just the server who brought food to the table. When the server came over after 5 minutes to ask if everything was ok (since no one began eating), we were able to inform her we were still waiting on one dinner. No water refills came around but we did get asked for other drink refills often. They were able to split checks and it was accurate. I will go back, if I could reserve a spot not in such a condensed seating area and with a smaller party. read more

Nice historic building, well maintained and clean. It is nicely decorated inside in honor of the old firehouse. We went on a Saturday afternoon, around 12:30. Parking lot was full but there was hardly anyone inside. We were cheerfully and promptly seated and our drink order was taken shortly after that. It wasn't long for our drinks to arrive, when they did we put in our food order. Both drinks were really good. It took about 15 minutes for the fried pickles to come out. Huge basket, perfectly cooking with a nice, well balanced, dipping sauce. It took another 20-25 minutes for our wings and pulled pork sandwich to arrive. The wings were huge, perfectly cooked and the parm/garlic sauce was excellent. My sandwich was excellent. Hardly portion of pork topped with cheese, pickles, and a pickled cabbage. Wonderfully tasty. The side of fries was generous, seasoned well, but could've used a little more time in the fryer. They were limp and a little soggy. Our server was one of the best we've had in a while, Antonia I think her name was. I look forward to coming back soon. read more

The feta cheese dip is amazing! It was so savory and the perfect appetizer to fill you up. It was so good we ordered another one after finishing our first plate. The portion is perfect to share among 4 people. The firefighter decor was nice. There were several different photo ops! I loved the hoses hanging above the bar and the big mirror in the bar. The drinks were good especially the mimosas and espresso martini! The customer service was good and we had no issues with any wait times for tables read more

We. Got take out a the delicious crispy fish fry and french fries were still great when we got it home. Coleslaw was not a favorite but was ok. Mussels in marinara sauce with sausage bits was very enjoyable. Wasn't sure I'd like it as I usually prefer a butter sauce but this was outstanding. Served with crispy baguette slices. The only bad thing was some broken mussel shells causing several small shell chips in the sauce so I couldn't completely enjoy all the sauce. read more

What a wonderful place... it's an old fire station that is now a restaurant. The inside is filled with fire fighting memorabilia. The menu is great with lots pubby choices.... My wife had the pulled Pork and she gave it 5 stars. The appetizers we had , fried pickles and onion soup was amazing. My steak sandwich was good ... it definitely could have used more meat. That's the only reason for not 4.... The real score should be 4.75.... The staff is awesome... Ashley was our waitress and guided us through the menu and her recommendations were on point! I will be back to this place every time I visit Rochester! read more

Excellent Food Service was good she took my drink away it was Grey Goose on the rocks and she thought it was gone when actually it still had some flavor in it! Dessert a Cheesy Eddies cheese cake was very over priced they need to get a different vender it was so small for $9 was way disappointing!! Can't say much about the ambiance .......love the decor and it could be a great ambiance if they could float some sound absorbers, that would b awesome! I would go back again for sure! I would recommend the short ribs, cooked to perfection and not a piece of fat at all, the Demi glaze was excellent, real mashed potatoes and I would add a little more garlic for my taste to the fresh green beans but they were fresh and very good! The dessert was good but not worth the price needs to b a bigger piece or get new venders ! My husband recommends the the fish fry biggest fish we ever saw actually had fish inside the tail cooked to perfection! I would give this place 4.5 stars read more

My family and I were driving around Irondequoit and figured we'd try a new place to eat since we don't live that close. We chose Hose 22 because it looked like the menu had a decent selection and the fire outside looked pretty atmospheric. It was a nice cool night and seemed like the perfect place- and it was for us! We sat inside because we have a young child and an infant, the staff was really great with that. They have high chairs and kids cups, so that was great- kids menus with crayons would really make this place even better for families. It's loud in there so we didn't feel we were bothering anyone which is always a plus as parents who still want to enjoy a night out with our young family without feeling embarrassed by crying or light hearted baby screeches. We ordered the margarita and the enchilada pizzas. The dough was really exceptional. They were both fired perfectly too. No complaints at all. We also got bbq wings. They were a bit over sauced but I suppose I'd prefer that to under sauced. They were good. The presentation was great. Service was great- you can tell people care about their tables and have a good sense of urgency. Overall, we absolutely want to make the drive to come back again. read more

Had their fish fry today. Tasteless, bland, insipid. Can't think of any other adjectives at this moment. The fish was fresh, hot and the crust was hot and crispy but tasteless as was the tartare sauce. The fries and coleslaw were good. Not worth the price. No wonder the place was empty when we arrived. read more

We have been to Hose 22 before and decided to return for lunch. We were a group of 4, arrived about 12:30pm and had seats in a comfortable booth. Our server was Rachael. While it appeared she was serving alone during the lunch hour, she was very attentive, prompt, and efficient to our needs, as well as the other estimated seven groups at lunch. The food was very good (two delicious rubins and two huge salads). The restaurant's atmosphere is like actually being in an old firehouse, but very clean and inviting! We will definitely return, and encourage others to enjoy its charm! read more

Place looks great, good parking. Food was OK, service was slow, prices a bit high for the value.

Hose 22 is a spot I've been wanting to try for awhile but just kept forgetting. But I was able to get a reservation for a late dinner on a Friday night. There is no online reservation system so you have to call. Easy to find with GPS and they have a large parking lot. Our table was clean and ready on arrival. Service was prompt and friendly. They have a large drink menu (yay). The Moscow Mule was refreshing and my companion was happy with her beer choice. The house salad is a large entree option. But I really wanted a salad to start. The server did warn me that it was an entiree. They have no starter salads. All the ingredients were fresh and I'd get this again. We both opted for dinner specials which we were both happy with. The stuffed fish (stuffed with crab cake) was flaky and well-seasoned. The fish fry was perfectly coated and crispy. Both of us decided we'd skip the fries in the future. They were somewhat cold and unseasoned. They do not have a mobile pay option which I have enjoyed at other restaurants. We've decided this a definite addition to our fav list. read more

While we know Friday nights are busy pretty much everywhere, our dining experience at Hose 22 wasn't a very pleasant one. The food and service was ok , but the surroundings around our table was very cramped. Our table was right near some booths and my chair , and my husband, was literally only inches away from the booth table behind me. We had to keep getting up, while we are trying to eat our meal, to let people get by. It was ridiculous. One and done for us. read more

Visited Hose 22 for the first time with some friends. It's a very cool looking building being stationed inside of a old fire house. I has a nice outside seating/fire pit area that although we didn't sit near, it added to the overall ambiance of the experience. Hose 22 also has it own parking lot that could get full easily on busy nights but it is a good size so most nights you will not have to look for alternative parking. (ie. street or elsewhere) So now to the dinning experience. Our server was Emily. (Hope that is how she spells it lol) She was awesome! To be honest, I saw here flying around the room and was on top of everything. She was nice enough to bring me a sample of the coleslaw they offer as a side to the Ribs (we'll get to that in second, calm down!) and let our table see if we liked it. The verdict was a strong pass, yet it wasn't nasty; just not the choice for us that night. We also all got wine slushies which you can get your hands on for a smooth 7 bucks. Not bad at all. I would suggest getting them mixed! Just thinking about it has got me shaking my head. The menu is LARGE, both in physical size and in content. So from that my expectations were good food, but nothing spectacular. Now too the food. Appetizers: Chicken wings(Cajun and sweet habanero)= solid wings. good taste and seasoned well. If you get them you won't be disappointed. Fried Pickles= THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD!!! They were beyond expectations! Entrees: Ribs, served with sweet potatoes fries and potato salad.=Ribs were alright. they were a little to sweet with the sauce. Some parts were very tender and fall off the bone. but then other parts near the ends of the bone were DRY! Dry meaning they had sauce on them but swallowing the meat was like a Popeyes biscuit! Not gonna lie I did almost choke on a piece of rib haha. Fries and potato salad was good however. Pizza: (It was a steak pizza I couldn't find the name on the menu) Was very very good Pizza! Probably the best I've had from a restaurant ever for pizza. I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST THE PIZZA! We finished the night with a slice of cheese cake form cheesy eddies they offered. Overall, if you can't tell already I did enjoy my time at Hose 22. I will be back and I'd even try the ribs again. Ribs are my thing so I won't kill them for the first time. Make your way to Hose 22 everybody! read more

My husband and I made a reservation for 7:30PM on a Saturday night due to the advice of my friend who is a server there. When we arrived, the place was packed but there did not seem to be anyone waiting for a table so we possibly couldn't taken a chance without a reservation. The decor of the restaurant is just as others describe - an old firehouse filled with local history, fire equipment and even fire jackets representing local FD's. There is a blurb on the menu that give a bit more background to how the place came about, which is interesting to read! I ordered a Free Bird - tequila, grapefruit & lime juices with soda. SO good, but a bit tart. Possibly could ask for less lime juice. My husband had a Ruby Kolsch beer they had on tap (seasonal so this will change.). We started off with the fried pickles, which, in my opinion, are a must try - obviously unless you hate pickles! So good, the spicy sauce was served in 2 bowls which was perfect because sometimes it seems there isn't enough sauce to whatever you are dipping ratio! I ordered the ribs with sweet potato wedges and potato salad (didn't think that one through but I didn't want coleslaw) and my husband ordered the Buffalo Mac and cheese. The ribs - fall off the bone, tender and tasty! The BBQ sauce was amazing on the tastebuds! I ate my ribs and the cornbread that came with, and packed up my potato sides because I was TOO FULL! So much food. My husbands Buffalo Mac was phenomenal, and the serving size was insane. He will not have Buffalo Mac for lunch probably 3 days this week! All in all, this place has a cool vibe, and I'm looking forward to stopping in again to try out their pizzas and wings! read more

I feel like it's hit and miss. The calamari was undercooked and didn't look appetizing. (And it's $18!!). The French onion soup has different cheeses, and one was too sweet tasting for my preference. The bread piece inside the soup tasted stale also. They try hard and most of our meal was okay but not worth their price tag. read more

This unique restored 1916 Firehouse is the best example of a converted fire station turned restaurant we've been to thus far, and I've been to several. The food was really amazing too. We started with the nachos and had their jalapeño popper dip added and let me tell you....those nachos were incredible! Huge portion, we ended up filling up on those and didn't have room for our entrees. Good news is that even leftover the entrees were excellent. My husband devoured the White Florentine pizza and the stuffed mushrooms were good too. I will caution that the garlic mashed potatoes are super garlicky. Service was great. Pricing is a little on the high side; be prepared to spend at least $20 for an entree, even if it's Mac n cheese. read more
