    Chorizos, egg and cheese on a hard roll
    Richard K.

    A staple of the Rochester Public Market, and for good reason. Great breakfast sandwiches, and other meaty sandwiches at a terrific price. Fast service, tasty food, and great value. And you can sit and eat your breakfast and watch the market in action.

    YUM! This spot has been at the market for ages and I had my first stop in over the weekend. Both my date and I went with a bacon egg and cheese. If you're in a hurry and looking for a delicious breakfast sandwich (or hot/ham/other eats), this is going to be your spot. No line and the sams come out super fast so you can go enjoy on a bench or inside. The staff here was the sweetest ever and I absolutely love that you can get ketchup or hot sauce or peppers & onions right on your sam without having to put it on yourself. I will say that while the roll was yummy, I wish it had a little bit of time on the griddle prior to having the contents of the sammich dropped on. It was pretty much a regular old cold roll with the goods dropped on. I think that's how they pop 'em out so fast, but I would be willing to wait a bit longer for a more complete/toasted roll. I look forward to my next trip, and love the longevity and old time feel of this spot.

    First timer here! Boy I didn't realize what I have been missing. I ordered the Italian sausage with peppers and it didn't disappoint. Sausage had a little kick to it. Nice friendly and fast service. Bunch of picnic tables to sit at and enjoy. I will be back to try the fried bologna sandwich.

    The legendary Bologna Supreme!

    Okay... everybody knows about Scotts II and Juan & Maria's Empanadas, but if you haven't given Zimmerman's a shot you're definitely missing out! I give them major props for quality food and friendly service. I'm a little biased, given that I share my first name with the owner, however Stan and Marianne @ Zimmerman's are quality people serving up quality food! That said, no review of Zimmerman's is complete without giving a shout-out to their singular contribution to the Rochester food scene... the Bologna Supreme! As essential to our local cuisine as Chicken French and (love it or leave it) Tahou's Garbage Plate ™. Ingredients: Petrillo roll, fried bologna, fried egg, cheese, bacon, onions and (drumroll please) Zimmerman's special recipe meat hot sauce. I ask for mayonnaise on mine, natch. Not an everyday item in my diet, but when I have a hankering for them I know where to go!

    Sausage egg and cheese for $3.50

    Our go-to breakfast spot at the Rochester Public Market. Yes this open air "hut" it is a dump but that is the charm (when the weather turns cold they have walls they put up to block the wind). The egg, cheese, and ham (or sausage or bacon) breakfast sandwich is just $3.50 - a great bargain for the amount of meat on the sandwich. There are many other choices including waffles, hots, etc. The lively banter between the workers and the patrons adds to the ambiance (that word maybe too fancy for this joint). You get your food fast so you can get back to shopping...

    Food was outstanding and has been each time we've been. The Ahi noshos are terrific and our…read moredinners excellent: scallops on cheddar polenta; Salmon, Kimchi, sweet potato pancake, and fried rice (too salty) otherwise excellent especially the Kimchi influence; surf and turf (bacon wrapped meat loaf on harissa lobster mashed potatoes and the tomahawk all hit the mark. Yet the highlight of the evening our server Brad - he was outstanding - casual, knowledgeable, and attentive. Never once asked "how are we" or called anyone hun, both irritating. The only caution is the noise - high ceilings and crowds combine for a lot of screaming diners and not much to buffer the din. Intimate, no but good food and excellent service at least last night.

    Brad (our waiter) was awesome! He was so knowledgeable about allergies. If he didn't know the…read moreanswer, he made sure to double check with the kitchen. This was my first time visiting. My friend and I ordered mocktails which we both enjoyed. We then ordered gochu belly buns and the braised beef French onion soup. They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy and make the soup gluten free! It was delicious. For our entrees, I ordered the sweet deal salad and my friend ordered the green curry stir fry. Mine wasn't anything crazy, tasted as I expected but it was still good. My friend, on the other hand, did not love her dish. She is a big curry person and said the sauce lacked flavor (which I tried and agreed with). The tofu was nice and crispy, dry though. There wasn't enough sauce in the dish. The mushrooms were the most flavorful.
