There's really not much else to say, this place has quality food for a fantastic price, so when you're driving home and your stomachs is screaming at you, allow Momburgers the opportunity to quell the noise so to speak.

They start lunch at 11am. Waited in line and let all the breakfast people go first to order at the counter. When they switched over to lunch, the cashier lady requested another few minutes to set up and said she would "come to me" when it was time for lunch ordering as we spoke earlier that lunch would not be ready. To not rush her and respect their transition per what was stated, I sat back down at the table. Then the lunch line immediately formed (that was not there at opening lunch hour), so I got back up to make sure she'd honor her commitment to first-come, first-serve. To my dismay, she began speaking with the gentleman after me, completely forgetting that I had waited 15+ min from breakfast and gotten word from her she would honor my place. She made an excuse that she was just taking the next customer in line, and after I repeated what she told me, she honored my purchase, and SHE clicked no tip automatically. Even more disappointing is that they STILL chose to put out the food of the gentleman behind FIRST. When our food came second, the reuben was burnt. Poor service aside, the chicken snitchzel was good. Unfortunately, I think the young lady was overworked and did not either remember (even though I had been standing there, made conversation) or chose not to remember (much more worrisome). The food is great and interior is beautiful views (on it's own would be 4 stars) but I would be very wary of the treatment you'd receive here as a customer. Please do better, you have really great food for this area.

At that point, they searched for it and discovered it had been sitting there the entire time, no one ever called my name, even though they were calling out other customers' orders. By the time I received my food, the sandwiches weren't even warm and the pancakes were soggy and sweating from sitting in a to-go container for far too long. There was no apology or accountability for the mistake. For a New York bagel shop, the food is shockingly bland, basic, underwhelming breakfast sandwiches that don't match what you'd expect at all. Overall, a very disappointing and disorganized experience. They need to get it together.

The name of The Saltbox Smokehouse in Sodus might lead some history buffs to assume that the…read morebusiness is housed in a New England-style house with a sloping back roof. While it is located in a 1800s-era building, the "saltbox" in its name actually refers to its method of curing more than 15 varieties of bacon, one of the specialties of the establishment at 6152 Barclay Road in Sodus, the former home to the Heluva Good! Country Store. The deli/restaurant is a dream fulfilled for the husband-and-wife team of James and Sara Wheaton. The pair enjoyed spending time together in the kitchen and started cooking for large events such as her sister's wedding. With supporters encouraging them to take their cuisine to the next level, they hunted for a place to house a restaurant for more than a year. Finally, the building off Route 104 struck a chord. The eatery serves as both deli and restaurant. Cured and smoked meats, such as bacon, smoked turkey, pastrami and pork loin, can be ordered on their own from the counter. Bacon comes in 15 flavors including apple bourbon, garlic, maple and horseradish. My wife and I recently stopped into the Saltbox on a whim while in the area, after passing the sign for them many times in between trips to Rochester. Small building, and there were already a couple customers there at right around noon on a Saturday. You order at the counter, then sit at one of the 6-8 tables they have in the nicely renovated building, and they bring you your food. They have daily specials, and this days were burnt ends. We both ordered sandwiches - my wife ordered the "On Top of Old Smokey", a sandwich with smoked cheesy meatballs on a sub roll, with a spicy tomato sauce and provolone, served with chips, and I went with the Steakhouse Sandwich, a sandwich filled with brisket, bacon, spicy pickles, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion on a roll, and I swapped out the chips for a side of bacon mac and cheese for an upcharge. We also got a 1/4 lb of the burnt ends to try. The dining area filled up quickly, but our food was brought pretty quickly. We really enjoyed our sandwiches, especially the meatballs which had a great flavor. The mac and cheese was bland, but I have yet to find good mac and cheese at a restaurant in CNY. But the star were the burnt ends - absolutely bursting with flavor, straight up meat candy. Wife and I could've made a meal just outta those. The price is comparable to other BBQ places. The service was fine - employees weren't exactly enthused to be there. No one was rude or anything, but we almost got the feeling we were being bothersome to them, but could've been an off day. We would definitely go back to try other stuff, or just for them burnt ends.

What I did know is that I preferred not to dine at a chain restaurant. Low and behold, I took a right turn and ended up Mattie Street, and to my left was a very unassuming green "house." Once I approached and read the sign, I realized it was a restaurant. The welcome sign stating that this was a farm to table establishment was all I needed to convince me to walk in. Upon entering Roseadah's, I instantly felt very comfortable. This eatery has a very laid-back, cozy vibe that I particularly enjoyed. My family and I were the only ones dining at the time, so I had the opportunity to truly soak in this lovely eatery. The ladies who assisted us were both so very wonderful. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who's also the amazing chef, and her personality alone won me over! Now, on to the food. Delicious, scratch made appetizers and entrees. I enjoyed every bite! Not only did we enjoy our meals while there, we also decided to order some food to take home for dinner. My personal favorite was their duck bacon wontons, so good! We also drooled over their freshly breaded mozzarella sticks. (we are fried cheese fanatics). When you visit, definitely do yourself a favor and order those appetizers before your main meal. If I didn't have a reason to return to Auburn, I certainly do now.

The crust was perfect, I could taste a little sweetness in the dough and it had a nice chew. The sauce was so flavorful with spices and the cheese was nicely melted and a perfect amount.
