The Normal happened to be right across the street so we gave it a shot. Nestled in an old turn of the century building, it had a lot of charm the old stained glass and hardwood floors. Ok, get to the food. I had ordered the smoked turkey sandwich that was topped with their homemade turmeric slaw and signature bbq sauce. This sandwich was just phenomenal. The turkey was super juicy and the slaw was perfect. Their signature sauce is along the lines of a Carolina style sauce was just fantastic. I also had a side Of their Mac and cheese which was super creamy, very rich with a hint of smoke in it. Bottom line, this place is worth the journey. I just wished I came hungrier. The menu also features brisket and pork sandwiches as well as all of their smoked meats. I look forward to going back and trying more. S

The Cottage Hotel - Mendon, NY…read more The Cottage Hotel isn't just a bar & grill--it's a Mendon institution. This is hands down my favorite place to go when I want great food, cold drinks, and a room full of people actually having a good time. Thanksgiving Eve at The Cottage is next-level. The place has that perfect buzz--packed but comfortable, energetic without being chaotic--and when the band SQUID takes the stage, it turns into one of the best nights out of the year. They know exactly how to read the room and keep it moving, whether you're there to dance, sing along, or just enjoy the music with a drink in hand. The bar staff is fast, friendly, and clearly knows their regulars. Drinks are poured right, the food hits the spot every time, and there's zero pretension--just a warm, welcoming vibe that keeps people coming back. You'll see longtime locals, groups of friends, and people who came in "just for one" and somehow stayed all night. If you're looking for a place that feels authentic, fun, and reliably awesome--especially on Thanksgiving Eve--The Cottage Hotel is the place to be. Mendon doesn't get better than this.

Came here with my in-laws for dinner. Loved the laid back vibe here…read more All the servers were so nice! Owner told us the daily specials and she was lovely. The food was GREAT! I went with a build you own burger (bonus, Grass fed beef too!), my husband got a beef on weck. The sandwich was good but the meat was thick cut and as a result, was a bit hard to bite through. (I could see my husband struggle). My in-laws got a burger and a fish fry and they enjoyed their meals as well. The main negative was how loud it was in here. There was a table of 4 older ladies that were so rowdy, we could hardly hear each other, let alone the waitress. Needless to say, once their food came, they quieted down a bit. We highly recommend.

Pulled pork was shredded so tiny it was almost creamy, this is a good thing, it was absolutely delicious. Brisket sandwich was some of the best brisket I'd ever had. Super tender, a teeny bit flakey just the way I like it, not chewy at all. Meat choices and sides rotate for variety. We couldn't decide on just two sides so we shared collard greens, coleslaw, potato salad, and baked beans, each of which were delicious. We wished that we would have room to try the cornbread and banana pudding for dessert, but maybe next time. We loved the option to take a few mini cups of fill your own sauce so we could try them all. Vinegar sauce and apple bbq were okay but their Memphis sauce is everything, I'd choose that every time. We'll definitely be back to try some more meats and sides! There are several tables on the deck, with umbrellas, and higher stools at a bar area. There is a port-o-potty across the parking lot if you need to go.

It was the best way to end the night, even the kids couldn't stop raving about the delicious food! Thank you so much team! I would 10000% come back if I'm in Rochester!

It was def a BBQ joint, but I wasoasing the dinosaur but. Anywhos, service was fantastic. I was seated quickly (party of 1 usually do) and my waitress was amazing. Once I figured out my choices, I went with the 3 course meal. Jerk wings to start, 1/4 chicken (I went with thigh and deum instead of breast and wing), beef brisket, side of Cajun corn, roasted whipped sweet potatoes, organe cream soda, and key lime pie for the dessert. First off, wings were delish and a great way to start. Then the entrees was a good portion. I was hesitant to try Cajun corn again since the last place I tried it was very unfulfilling. But here it was delish. Sweet potato were solid. Chicken was not dry at all, and brisket was tender and smokey. Soda was not too heavy, and the key lime pie was so so good (but honestly I should have gotten it to go as it was too much food). Overall, this place was wonderful. If I ever come back to Rochester I will be coming here again.
