    What a delicious chocolate milkshake to go with a grilled chicken sandwich complete with tomatoes and lettuce made a yummy lunch upon my visit to my former home area. The staff is friendly and food is hot and tasty. Only one suggestion...a bigger plate would make it simpler to pick up the sandwiches. It is messy to eat, but so tasty!! We always enjoy the &50s diner setting and music too.

    My boyfriend and I were in town, and he had recommended to check out this place, as it was on his former truck route, and heard locals rave about it, but never had opportunity to stop. They were well-staffed , not a super long wait, larger then anticipated burgers, overall amazing food and larger portions for a fast food burger place.

    Growing up in Rochester, Tom Wahls was a great place to go. Since moving to Buffalo we just don't get there that often. So I was very happy when invited to a wedding and finding out that they were catering the event. The menu was limited but included the most important items. Obviously their cheeseburger, their version of a garbage plate, root beer floats, and ice cream, plus a few other items. I had the cheeseburger and fries followed by a dish of chocolate ice cream. Just seeing the cheeseburger made my mouth water! The burgers are thin, which prefer but huge and covered with gooey melted cheese. Then topped with their meat sauce! Not sure if their ice cream is their own but was delicious. I know others raved about the root beer floats. Only slight disappointment was the fries, not bad but nothing special. Best part was the service. Quick and friendly. They even before departing left out a plate of food for the dog. Even had his name on it! Though I didn't get a picture. Good job Tom Wahls! 2022-62

    HOLLER UP AT TOM WAHL'S... Today is pretty busy for 'em. Long line but cashiers are doing fabulous job to keep it going! High fives to 'em! Food send out at good timing in nice pace. Very impressive. I got bacon cheeseburger, coleslaw & cheese curds. I asked for multi grain buns & it did. Awesome!! Bacon cheeseburger w/ multi grain buns is pretty good. Coleslaw is kinda ok & not too bad. Cheese curds is pretty good & better than Minnesota's famous cheese curd, to be honest. Theres so plenty of tables for customers to dine in! Clean! Staff keep it clean to make us comfortable to eat in. Not cold or not hot, it is just perfect temperature inside. Its cozy warm. Would definitely come back here again. 4.5 stars really.. just because of coleslaw is a reason that not impressed me. High five to Tom Wahl's for a good dinner!

    Clean inside and out.

    After five hours in the car, traipsing across New York via Route 20 to avoid the tolls of I-90, there wasn't much that could get me to stop the car. Just short of my final destination in Buffalo, it was the lure of the "black raspberry soft serve" sign that got me to make a U-turn in a pharmacy parking lot for some roadside eats. I had seen the signs for Tom Wahl's earlier on the same road and thought nothing of it. The burger on the billboard looked tasty enough, but not enough to think of filling my stomach before getting to the city on the lake and it's famous beef on weck sandwiches. "Just ice cream. Just one cone and you're done, Lucas. Beef and wings in another hour." That plan fell apart and the little guy in red with horns on my shoulder danced as I ordered a cheeseburger anyway. The smell of freshly cooked beef wafted from the exhaust fans as I got out of the car. I knew I was a goner. The burger was as thin as could be atop the fluffiest roll imaginable. The patty as big as the plate it came on. Ketchup and mustard in proper proportions. Not much to argue there. Within seconds it was gone. I almost went back for a garbage plate, but I had ice cream to contend with. The black raspberry was good, but not as good as the peach soft serve. The raspberry almost had a medicinal flavor to it. It got better as I went along, but the peach is the winner for me. Rolling back east on Monday. I'll tackle the garbage plate then.

    A staple restaurant in Avon Ny, located on E Main St. Large parking area, up front and on the side. Large covered picnic area out back, perfect place to eat on a beautiful day! Great menu with so many options, I'm a fan of the cheeseburger value meal. A 5oz ground steak with two American slices of cheese. ( I add onions) side of French fries and a medium drink for $11.39. Sometimes I go with crispy bacon... yum! Their homemade root beer is great, even better as a float! Also, milkshakes are amazing too! Avoid the lines and order on line, you walk right in and pick up your order!

    We stopped here for lunch. The staff are always so friendly. I ordered cheese curds but they told me their shipment didn't come in yet. So they refunded the amount and compensated me with an order of fries. The food is always amazing. The root beer is delicious.

    Stopped on a Friday night and it was packed!! Huge place and it was busy. We ordered a plate and a burger. Our order came up in 5 minutes. My plate was good, just too many onions lol. All went down good though.

The building itself is super cool, the old mill really gives a cozy rustic vibe to the restaurant and the art and random pieces of equipment around the restaurant are super cool. Lots of seating - we had a reservation and I'd definitely recommend having one if you're going to try it out. I can imagine it gets busy. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and explained that the food is best for sharing. She gave us lots of recs and brought the food out as soon as it was ready and hot! They are constantly changing the menu so I'm not able to find the exactly names of the plates that we shared. We got a poke appetizer, mini tacos/pulled pork, fish with potatoes, and a pasta dish. For dessert we got the tiramisu which was really tasty. Everything we got was really delicious and generous portions. After dinner we went downstairs for the bar. We got a couple of espresso martinis and an old fashioned and listened to the live music. The music was a bit loud, but it was still a nice vibe to sit and have a drink after a filling meal. Overall, definitely recommend this spot if you live in the area or are passing through!

The aesthetic did not disappoint either. The restaurant can be simply described with one word: GORGEOUS. We had a drink at the bar, and it was delicious, and then were sat early for our table. Kendra, who was working as support for our waitress Megan, was so sweet and attentive. Megan promptly came over and went through the menu with us and we ordered - Caesar salad for Britt with the porterhouse and beef tartare for me with the Everyday But Sunday Sauce. I was stunned by the quality of food. It was hands down the best beef tartare I have had ANYWHERE. I mean, it was quite literally perfection on a plate. My rigatoni had meatballs that melted in my mouth, the sausage was tasty, and the hunk of pork was fork tender. The sauce itself was perfectly seasoned, the San Marzano tomatoes were beautifully cooked, and I had such a huge portion that a lot of it came home. As for Britt, he loved his Caesar and said the dressing was fantastic, he just personally prefers romaine lettuce over red leaf. The flavor of his steak was mind blowing. The fat was perfectly rendered and it was still cooked expertly at medium rare. Lastly, we got cookies for dessert. Two absolutely perfect peanut butter chip cookies that were lightly salted and served with a glass of milk. Unreal. I got an espresso martini and it was also incredible. Our bartender John should not be overlooked either. Great guy, a true mixologist, and we enjoyed chatting with him after dinner. Britt did go up to the kitchen to give his compliments to the chef, who came out and shook his hand. I wish I took pics other than my martini, but I was too busy stuffing my face with the masterpieces I was being served. We were absolutely blown away.

The space is sparse inside still, and the sign is just a sandwich board on the sidewalk. They've clearly just taken over the space fairly recently, but don't let that dissuade you! Service was wildly friendly, the owner is really outgoing and welcoming to everyone that comes in the door, and seemed to know quite a few of the locals. Not sure if it was just us or everyone, but he was asking if anyone was half-vegetarian (eats fish apparently) or full-vegetarian, which is The menu isn't very long, but everything we tried was excellent. Falafel had a good mix of soft and crunchy, and wasn't dried out at all. The platter version was definitely plenty of food! The lamb was pretty good as well, but was definitely out-shined for me by the chicken. I was expecting a pretty bland chicken, which is pretty typical for falafel places for some reason, but this chicken was crazy flavorful. Something like a butter chicken or chicken tikka masala on the outside; not saucy like those, but with that sort of flavor somehow. That paired with the solid white sauce and the amazing cilantro sauce was top notch. Even better, throw in an order of the masala fries to go with and your stomach will be both full and super happy. Highly recommended for a quick, cheap, delicious, and filling meal in Geneseo!
