    This is the best barbecue in Rochester! My family and I have been here twice now and every time it's been absolutely fantastic! I always get the same thing. I get the pimento mac & cheese, cornbread, and fried green tomato BLT, which is thick cut, bacon iceberg, lettuce, fried green tomatoes with Alabama white sauce on a brioche bun. The fried green tomato BLT in one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The pimento mac & cheese is also so creamy and flavorful and delicious. The inside is pretty spacious with tables all around. It's always super clean inside and the staff is super friendly. I really like that. You never have to wait too long to get your food even when it's busy. They're right next to Tony D's so they share that big parking lot, which is great! when I come back next, I'm hoping to try something new everything on their menu looks really good including the chopped brisket. Loaded fries and barbecue platters. Please stop in here to have some of their amazing BBQ!

    Solid workup of the former establishment into what appears to be higher end fast casual BBQ. Spacious interior, plenty of seating, and large amount of options. Everything coming out to the order pickup station looked and smelled amazing! I opted for the 1/4 Lb 2 meat & 2 sides as I wanted to dabble. I tried the brisket and the smoked sausage, paired with the southern poblano & cheddar grits and pimento Mac & cheese. The meats were both great, the grits were outstanding, and the Mac & cheese was decent. The one item that floored me was the cornbread - it was out of this world, and I usually skip it due to many places offering subpar cornbread. The sauce flight was a necessary thing, even though it's an additional charge. Counter staff were fun and friendly!

    Outstandingly bad. Easily worst BBQ I have ever had. Flavorless brisket. The Mac n cheese side (in addition to being pitifully small) is completely flavorless. Truly, no seasoning, no flavor. I don't know how that is even accomplished. I got a brisket sandwich, which had two small pieces of brisket (cold) and a shamefully small amount of "toppings". This place is NOT worth your time. The cornbread was good and moist, the only redemption. We really wanted to appreciate this - being associated with the Rev we had high expectations. For these prices, please don't bother. I am normally proud to show friends or family from out of town how great our food scene is in Rochester... I'm now afraid of people judging Rochester by a place like this calling itself BBQ. It won't last, if the food stays anything like this...

    If you are looking for a treat, yes , this place is great. Service yes, ambiance no. My comment to…read morethe owner was they went to small. However, the food the menu the coffee, yes. Expect a wait or go early.

    We went to Locals Only for brunch/lunch after a wedding, meeting friends one last time before…read moreeveryone headed back to our own cities. Unfortunately, it turned into one of the worst restaurant experiences. We spent 2.5 hours total at the restaurant. After waiting an excessive amount of time, we watched two tables that arrived at least an hour after us receive their food first. When we politely asked if our ticket might have been missed, we were told those tables ordered before us, which simply wasn't true. We were then told the delay was because burgers take a long time but a nearly two-hour wait for a burger is pretty wild. It took about 25 minutes just for someone to take our drink order, and we were never asked if we wanted additional drinks. We had to flag staff down for everything. No ketchup, no hot sauce, nothing offered. The $30 mimosa flight served in tiny glasses also felt like a complete scam. When the food finally came, two people in our party were served 15-20 minutes before the other two, and the food was cold. One dish had completely raw eggs. When I let the server know I couldn't eat it, she came back and removed the meal from the bill, which was appreciated. However, the interaction itself felt tense and dismissive, which made an already frustrating experience worse. They did give us a round of breakfast shots to try to help pass the time which was appreciated. The food itself was disappointing overall. The breakfast burrito was basically all eggs with raw, bitter avocado, and my husband's burger was missing requested toppings. We also noticed food sitting in the service window while we continued waiting. The only person who was happy with their meal got the biggie fries an it was hot when it arrived. To make matters worse, the bathroom was unheated on an 18° day (feels like 2°) and not clean. We're a pretty chill, patient group and understand that kitchens get backed up but man, this experience completely missed the mark. Ironically, the cooks thanked us for our patience and servers said goodbye pleasantly on the way out. We honestly may have let a lot of this go if the service hadn't felt so dismissive when we calmly raised concerns.
