Great beer selection with an average happy hour at best. I recommend this place for the excellent variety of tap beers that is probably the best in Rochester. This is the highpoint. The menu isn't bad and the food is above average for a bar environment. Overall, for beers and a decent meal give this place a chance... The service is mediocre. The only time I saw the staff smile was when they were obviously sucking up to their manager. The staff seemed to follow her around like an entourage while they neglected the rest of us. It was kind of bizarre. read more

The food has gone down since my last visit. I wanted to try the brisket again and it was not good. The last time the brisket was so good I was shocked! I know my "brisket". This time it was overly seasoned with pepper and I had to double check to be sure it was actually beef. It had a weird taste. We also had cheese pizza and it totally tasted like a frozen pizza and the fries were cold and hard (can't believed they served them). I don't like to leave bad reviews, but the food has gone down significantly. I'm not sure if there are new cooks or they've changed their food vendors. They only thing I may be back for is the cocktail menu. read more

I love this place. The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is fun. My husband and I are picky about food, and we have never had a disappointing meal here. What I also like about this place is that it appeals to any age group. My husband and I love the quality food, and my 25-year-old son likes to meet up with his friends to watch sports here, and it all seems to work at the same time. I don't feel like I'm in a bar that's just for young people, and my son doesn't feel like he's in a place for older people. And Nick, the owner, is also very personable and cares about your experience, which I appreciate. read more

A welcome addition to the Rochester neighborhood! First off the restaurant looks amazing with the high ceilings, the Nana Windows that fully open, the 80 beers on tap as well as a great wine list. There are plenty of tvs to watch any game from any table! Love the atmosphere and the overall look of the restaurant! I had dinner the other night with some friends and we had a bit of everything. We loved the meatballs with the burrata cheese and the Willy beet salad was delicious! Try the smoked whitefish pate which we were told is smoked in house as well as all of the food is made from scratch from fresh ingredients. The salmon entree was delicious and the coney dog pizza tasted just like a coney dog! A must try! As many know with any new restaurant there will be some hiccups that need to be worked out. The bar staff was friendly and working hard to keep up with the volume of being a new restaurant. Sure the service was a little slower but that is to be expected and will work itself out. Overall I have been there a couple times now and love the place! read more

I am sitting at the table while writing this review. I am giving them five stars SOLELY based on the fact that this place serves ROCK AND RYE! Also, the appetizer just showed up and it looks pretty good :) Update: yes the appetizer is amazing get the cheese rolls! Yup.. pizza was good too. Coming back. read more

This is my favorite bar in Rochester by far, excellent staff and managers who are very kind and accommodating. Food and drinks are excellent and 80 revolving taps is astounding. read more

The food here is quite good, much better than the normal bar fare! Friendly and quick service! Love the windows that open all the way for and al fresco feel! read more

So, this place opened a few doors down from our office. Needless to say, we were excited to see a new place open up so close. My review is based on the restaurant being open for only three days. We've been here three days in a row now trying and testing. So far, everything has been quite good. Atmosphere - The first thing you'll notice is the big open floor plan. TV's surround the bars and just about every wall. Drinks - 80 beers on tap. Great variety. Food - The menu is not quite complete but we've sampled all the appetizers. The highlights are Spiedini, meatballs, brussel sprouts, and the Burroughs salad were all pretty good. It's still super early so the menu should expand from what we've been told into some sandwiches. Overall, we're excited to have a place just a few steps away to grab a beer and relax in a beautiful atmosphere. read more

Thanks for accommodating our quick trip during our pedal ride today. Great wait staff and very helpful with our order. We will be back!!!

Solid food, service and hosts were ok. Seemed understaffed and disorganized. Everything was good and i would return. Beer list was better than most in Rochester. Better than average suburban joint. read more

I understand that I look young, but I had to be ID'd to even get in the place. Ordered my drink, ID'd again. They even ID'd me for a Margherita pizza... is there even alcohol in that? A little excessive... still a nice place though read more

We were there for the opening weekend and was a bit hesitant at first to be part of the working out the kinks sessions. Much to my surprise the service was super attentive and the food was excellent. This certainly compliments the downtown Rochester restaurants by providing a diverse (yet limited) menu and an open air atmosphere (summertime). Not a huge fan to many of the downtown restaurants but this one certainly makes it on the shortlist. We'll be back. read more

Good selection of beer, quick service. We are able to get table of 9 for V day dinner fairly quickly. Pricing on menu is fair, and normal/personal serving size. Plenty of parking on street and back. Highly recommend nacho for sharing! One star off for burnt sweet potatoe fries. About 1/3 of was burnt and not edible. read more

I would give it 5 stars if the menu had more variety/inexpensive items. But if you know how to work the menu you won't regret it. My boyfriend & I split the meatball berrata, fried pickles, & gnocchi for about $40, we were full & satisfied. Also, the open walls to the outside is a very nice feature in the summertime. read more

Too Ra Loo - Fried pickles, gnocchi, & meatball berrata. My boyfriend & I split this and it was the perfect amount of food. - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, Michigan

Happy hour was amazing - until 7pm with cheap drinks and a real family feel. The BBQ chicken pizza was top notch and super cheap. We stopped by Gus O'Connors first but would've spent $45 rather than the $20 we spent at Too-Ra-Loo. Both managers checked up on us twice - Nick and Terri. My father has owned a restaurant for 30 years and this place does it right! read more

Came in on a random Tuesday night for a couple drinks with friends. We sat at the bar and were ignored for about 20 minutes before anyone even acknowledged we were there. Mind you, they weren't busy and there were two bartenders on their phone right in front of us. A couple sat next to us and they were immediately greeted. When we did finally get greeted the bartender was rude like she didn't believe we were old enough to drink. I guess I'll take it as a compliment. From the time we sat to the time we got our drinks 50 minutes had gone by. Our food took about 45 minutes. Being a server and knowing sometimes people just have off days, I give every place a a few chances. But honestly every time I've been here I've had slow service and food that took way too long and cost too much for the quality. Don't waste your time read more

It was okay. Not necessarily a place where you can be a little loud; more sit down and quiet conversation type vibe. Definitely not a dive bar, but not too upscale either; It's in the middle. The service was basic, but not horrible and the Margherita pizza was not that good. I wouldn't order it again. They did have some pretty good ciders though. read more

Love this place! Excellent food and service!! I go here all the time and they have an AWESOME new blonde bartender.. hard worker!! Goes above and beyond! read more

Visited Too Ra Loo for the first time today. I frequent downtown Rochester a lot, and so I was used to the area being busy and finding it difficult to find a parking spot at times. Street parking on Rochester Rd. is meter parking, but they accept coins, credit card ($1 minimum), and the park mobile app on smart phones. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and did not have too much trouble finding parking. Walking in, the space is huge! It wasn't busy at all when I went, so my party of 3 was seated right away. We happened to be there during happy hour, which features $3 off appetizers aka "small plates" and numerous drink specials. We started with the mozzarella sticks which were mouthwatering! We almost ordered a second batch they were so good. They were cheesy, crispy but not hard, and the marinara sauce complimented it perfectly. I had trouble deciding between the burger and pizza, and our server told us those were two of the most popular menu items. I ended up ordering a pepperoni pizza. It is thin crust, and wasn't the best I ever had, but it was still enjoyable. The other people in my party ordered a cheese pizza and the brisket sandwich. The brisket sandwich looked better than it tasted, it was okay but probably not worth ordering again. Next time, I will definitely try the burger and get it with steak fries as the steak fries that came with the sandwich were amazing! Not sure if they regularly come seasoned or if our server did that specifically for us, but the seasoning was perfect. The steak fries are more so potato wedges but still just as good. Our server was nice, was pretty attentive but also not as attentive as she could have been as it wasn't busy at all. Didn't affect my experience though as our food came out quickly enough, I just pick up on those things more being a former server myself. Overall, a good experience. I will definitely return to Too ra Loo soon! read more

Thanks TRL for another great meal last night. Portions were plentiful, staff and food terrific, and those Profiteroles!!! Yikes, absolutely huge and sooooo very yummy! Cheers to Too-Ra-Loo for never disappointing when it comes to cleanliness, staff, and food quality. We will be back again and again! read more

Food is just ok. You can tell a lot if is from Gordon's pre prepped. Service is not the best either they hire young attractive servers and dont seem to train them. No problem = you're welcome. read more

Food is not so good and service is mediocre. The mixed drinks were not good either. I'd pass on this place.

A member of the staff was very rude. My friends and I arrived and were very polite...but the hostess (who we believe is one of the owners) was very rude. I think she was stressed because of how much business they had when we arrived; nonetheless that's not an excuse for her consistent behavior. Ohhh... and she said to my friend "you look like a yelper!"" read more

Amazing bar, the waiters are literal cherubs sent from the heavens above! Donnie is the equivalent of a marvel superhero behind the bar and Andrea is a sweet angel bestowed upon us! Great beer selection, cozy setting and food that will cure even the more ferocious of drunchies. read more

Ate here last week. This restaurant has become a favorite for consistently good food. Pizza is very good but the calamari appetizer is not your usual in preparation and is outstanding. read more

I really enjoyed my evening tonight at this restaurant. I was there with 13 ladies tonight before enjoying the Christmas lights of Rochester. Our waiter James was outstanding and took excellent care of us. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I recommend the fish and chips. read more

Made reservations for 15 over a week before; the table was set up short. The service was slow from getting our first drink to placing our food order. They server rarely came by to check in with us for refills, water or clearing plates away. Perhaps he was disengaged because there was an automatic gratuity? The food was average; our experience was nothing special unfortunately. read more

We have only ordered a few different menu items here but it is always very good. Burger cooked exactly as you order it. Love the burger sauce. Fish and chips now is our favorite. read more

My husband and I loved our experiences here, delectable food choices (let's face it you can only take same soup different bowl so many times, this was refreshing and unique), smacked of our favorite places in Detroit such as Small Plates, who also have a smaller menu, which is nice because too many items can drown themselves out on a menu. My husband had the shrimp pesto pasta (creamy goodness I had a bite), and I had the Michigan Salad with cranberries and vinaigrette, which tasted great in this weather. We don't have any children and we did notice a review stating that there wasn't a children's menu, which I'm sure they'll be incorporating soon seeing as how much this place has gotten only better since it opened. Drinks were superb, they literally have anything you could want. And the service was adorable, Rochester's own young sons and daughters, doing the best they can. Our 19 year old waitress told us she was honored to be hired with little experience, but continues to learn from her "boss" Nick as she called him, who come to find out has been in the business for almost 50 years! That's amazing in itself, I'm sure he'll impart his wisdom here, more than is already evident. We went with no expectations, everyone knows the Bing Crosby version of Too Ra Loo from "Going My Way," so we went only thinking it would be a fun experience with different menu options. It's been inspiring to see how this place has evolved and gotten better since it opened, only a little over A MONTH ago, awesome to see at this location. It's good to keep people on their toes, don't judge a book by it's cover, aka just because it looks Irish, doesn't mean it's like everywhere else. Irish feel with Italian zeal for sure! read more

Food seems alright, but the service is terrible. I've walked out twice after not being served and probably won't be going back.

Went for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. We shared a white pizza, very good! And profiteroles for dessert. Oh My Gosh, awesome!! Great service too. read more

Great place to visit, great staff friendly and attentive. Great manager, knows how to run an establishment unlike some other places in town. Food has always been great. read more

Excellent food (definitely try the Baci if you like spice) and even better service! Highly recommend!

Great service, good food, fun atmosphere. Had a table of 7 and 1 baby. We were offered a swing for the carseat which we had never seen before and we were so grateful. The atmosphere was very lively and loud. If you are looking for somewhere peaceful and quiet, don't go here. The employees were attentive and friendly. The food was good too. We got the buffalo chicken pizza which was delicious, just make sure you get more ranch (hi! ranch lovers!). We also got the brisket sandwich which was ok. Very dry. I would've selected a different bread or put some au jus to help with the dryness. It comes with a horseradish sauce but it was quickly absorbed by the bread. read more

Met up with a bunch of friends on a Thursday night. The service was insanely slow. I sat at the bar for at least 10 mins without notice. Meanwhile the bartender stood a few people away from me chatting. Finally I waved him down cause it was way too long. I ordered one drink and a bowl of minestrone soup. I ended up having to seek the bartender out for my drink because again about 7 mins later I didn't have my drink. I ordered a martini but he brought it in a rock glass and said that someone had broken all his martini glasses. I highly doubt that's true, and if so...get more. I asked for water when he brought my soup but he never brought it and I didn't see him again. The soup was very good. It's just that the service was not good. read more

Great place, unless you happen to be a smoker, or need to use the restroom, Should you choose to let the bar staff know, while sitting at the bar, that you are going outside for a few minutes, or using the restroom, you might as well not walk in, they will remove your drinks and seat someone else. This has happened numerous times. If you go , get a table and sit, and do not leave. read more

First time there with friends. It was a Saturday and football games on all TVs. The disappointment was the service and food. Not that busy because it was later in the afternoon, so I don't know what the problem was. I ordered fish and chips and it was probably the worst fish and chips I have ever received, the fish was almost burned and looked like it had been dried up. I should have sent it back but we were in a hurry and starving. Won't go back. read more
