    Spotted Octopus took over the ROC brewing location. Not much has changed as far as atmosphere. Still nice indoor/ outdoor seating. Nice menu, good selection of beer. You can still see where they brew the beer and where they prepare the food. Nestled right in the heart of Rochester it's a great location to visit highlights in the area after a bite to eat and a cold beer. Friendly service. I hope they do well here.

    Chicken Wings
    Anonymous User ..

    Bad experience. Beer was flat. Mixed drink was a joke. Food was awful. Don't go when it's busy and certainly don't go for the food. Burgers and garbage plates looked good but the appetizers were terrible and the wings were the smallest wings I've ever seen. The food took 50 minutes to come out. When it did I went up to the bar and asked where the napkins were and the dude was all disgruntled and mad at the world and snapped at me, "you're going to have to wait a minute!". We ordered and paid for 5 appetizers and they only brought out 4 and insisted we didn't order the hummus, which was the first thing we ordered. I ordered a $14 Old Fashioned and it was literally a half shot of bourbon and a sugar cube. The wife has officially blacklisted the place.

    Prime Rib, quiche, avocado toast, chicken tenders, etc... and a fabulous "root beer float" alcoholic beverage!

    A fabulous Mother's Day Brunch Buffet!! Staff was attentive and helpful, food was plentiful and tasty... it was my first time there, but I will definitely be trying their regular menu sometime soon. Chicken & waffles with homemade chicken tenders, some of the best sausage gravy I've had in a while.... And just a cozy, friendly place. I saw that they rent out their private room with wings and beer for fantasy football drafts!!

    Lunch and a flight!

    Stopped in today for lunch after a doctor appointment. Super friendly staff (Kaylee? Kayleigh?). Delicious melt-in-your-mouth pretzels, yummy smash burger with blue cheese, and the BEST salt & vinegar fries! And of course, there are some great beer choices! We LOVED Orange You Glad cream ale! The building itself has real potential, as does the front deck. Love the logo, and we're hoping you get some merch with full color and "Rochester!" We'll be back!

    Six different beer tasters , enjoyed them all.

    Food was good and I liked all 6 of my tastings with gun slingers as my favorite. Food was also delicious and atmosphere was nice too.

Something about the big, inviting interior space, live music, food trucks, outside tented tables and games. Something about the feeling you get that you could sit there and nurse a can of something-not-even-made-by Three Heads, and no one would shoo you away because they wanted the table.... I've actually been a customer for years - from meeting friends for an afternoon cider, to attending group work events, to listening to local bands, to attending costume contests during Halloween. I always feel welcomed, comfortable, and supported as a consumer, despite my lack of enthusiasm for the latest IPA and/or the fact that I am often the DD (designated driver) in need of a non-alcoholic beverage. Three Heads is a great place, with good people, and lots of things to choose from whether it be beer, cider, sours, sodas, non-alcoholic drinks, etc. I will be back, and hope to see you there too!

We ate outside on the enclosed patio on a rare and perfect 72 degree sunny not humid day. We were told it could be an hour to be seated but our text message came in after barely 10 minutes. Our server was friendly and service overall was prompt. The Mac and Cheese was enjoyable and I took home the leftovers and ate them later. It wasn't as cheesy or luscious as I might have hoped, it was just enough cheese to do the job. The finely diced chicken had good fire grilled flavor but was pretty dry. They offer a Buffalo version of their mac and cheese but there are several hot sauces on the table. Not sure how much difference there would be between their buffalo mac and just sprinkling hot sauce on the mac and cheese with plain chicken which is what i did. The chicken salad wrap was satisfactory and VERY generously filled. It was really almost too big and it came with a comically huge quantity of potato chips.

    First visit! We had the smash burger and unlimited fries…read more Delicious. We also had the flatbread pizza appetizer. Really tasty with chicken. We would get these again next time. Large beer menu with great choices but we were there at lunch and no time to have a beer. We are looking forward to visiting here again. Our waiter was Ricky and he was training Ian. Both were very nice and helpful. They answered all our questions as this was our first visit. I really want to get the dessert they are known for! Thanks Ricky and Ian! The restaurant is big with lots of seating so there is plenty of space for a crowd. I really liked the artwork on the walls and I am wondering if they sell t-shirts with their artwork of their beers.

They have never given us a hard time about ordering separately and have brought out more of the fruit that he preferred when we asked if they could. I will admit they are understaffed so they take a longer to get refills and such. But they have never let us down with our kiddo and their food is good. Their pazookies are great (the chocolate one substituting vanilla ice cream is sooo good!).
