Silk O'Loughlins Rochester Reviews
Stopped for couple drinks after the polar plunge. Fast friendly service. Great prices
One of the best places in Rochester to grab a pint! Mike and his crew are pure class!
The best food in the river. Enjoy their garbage plates and their burgers.
Lilly did an awesome job serving us! The menu is affordable and the view is amazing!
Probably the best pizza logs I've ever had. Got a trash plate, meat hot sauce was delicious and spicy. Great burger. Beautiful atmosphere and views. Friendly service.
Definitely a dive. But!! The wings were top tier, the fish fry was top tier, the server was top tier. Went with my 3 year old on a Friday night at 7 and would not hesitate to go back. Thinking next time with just my wife!
If you don’t rate O'Loughlins a six out of five, maybe you should just stay home and watch Tv. 😂😂Moved from Rochester to Boston in 1970, each visit back always includes a stop to Ollie’s. The food is ok, the service and drinks are great, and hey—-if you are lucky enough to spend an afternoon here by the water, you are lucky enough. Judy & George from Boston 😎👍🤪
Enjoyed eating outside under an umbrella on this hot day, watching boats coming and going on the river. Service was friendly ; my cheeseburger was good and the homemade macaroni salad was GREAT; my husband liked his shrimp basket with fries. Only criticisms are they charge for soda refills even though it comes in a small serving, and there is a charge for using a credit card.
It has only been 1 time. But we are definitely going back. Simple menu, but great views. The Genesee River flows into the Ontario. Good drinks, good service, good views. Go check it out. You can even sit next to the river and drink.
07/07/24: We finally got an opportunity to eat at this very busy restaurant on a recent Friday evening. We arrived there just before 6 PM and had to wait roughly 20 minutes for an available table on the large outdoor patio. It took another 10 minutes to get our orders placed, and then another 20 minutes for our food to be served. We both ordered a haddock fish fry dinner and were not disappointed at all. Our meals were served up very hot, the fish was very tasty and cooked perfectly, and the portion size was more than enough food for a reasonable appetite. Considering the food quality and portion size, $16 was a fair price for each full dinner. *Be aware, there is a surcharge if paying with a credit card. Our bill with beverages, tax, and surcharge totaled around $46. Some of the other prices on the menu seemed a bit high, so the fish fry may be the best value on their current menu. Our server, Logan, was friendly, efficient, and provided great service. Dining on the patio next to the water is a nice bonus. Parking in their main lot is a bit limited, but a larger adjacent parking area is just a short walk. Based on a good first visit here, we would definitely eat here again, although maybe arriving earlier next time. Thanks for reading.
This is the kind of place where you have to take it for what it is. It is a bar that you can dock your boat at. That is the key appeal here. Most of the patrons looked like they had spent the day on a boat. The view is amazing sitting right by the water. That alone, to me, is reason enough to stop by and have a drink. The food is not great, but it's okay. The service was what you would expect from a group of very young servers who mostly looked like it's their first job. They were sweet. All in all, the atmosphere is the reason to go.
We never are there so can’t judge. It was great for summer since chairs and tables right near water. Looks a bit sketchy but who knows? Could have great food.
Service- Good Welp food is- Good Mixed Drinks... Ehhhh..... Not good I ordered 2 long island iced teas. One for me and one for my girl. Long story short we took two sips out of them and poured the rest in the tank of the truck.. I get it. I ordered a long island. I know what it's suppose to taste like. But when your girl is using it as nail polish remover... Something ain't right. May need to get the bar tender a better jegger or maybe just maybe the bar tender needs some training.
Older bartender lady was awful. She had like reddish brown hair. She only attended to the regulars and made us feel like an outcast. This is supposed to be a touristy place?? Not a nice welcome. she had an attitude as soon as we sat down cause we looked different. Tried to be myself and nice as always but she was short and mad cause I ordered a different drink. I’m a local and live in town. The servers were great. They deserve my generous tip more than the bartender. The bartender didn’t ring the bell after i gave her a generous tip but she she sure did after a regular did. May not go back like I didn’t in years and will tell everyone why
This place is sub-marginal at best. Regular fountain drinks watered down to flavorless. Faux iced tea. Buffalo wings are probably the worst in NY and wings are supposed to be their speciality. Really? The burger was a boxed(from a box) burger, overcooked and with a stale bun. Hand assembled, definitely not from fresh meat. Cole slaw as a side tasted spoiled. All in all, there are definitely better places on the lake and close by. Definitely recommend heading elsewhere for better food and drinks!
very beautiful setting, right by the water. we were so excited about this place. my wife called her friend up to set up a dinner together at this place next weekend. as soon as we tried our appetizers, we were so disappointed. The children wings were ridiculously salty, the fried shrimps were so dry. The dinner weren't any different. my chicken sandwich wasn't completely cooked, the bread was so dry I have to drink a glass of water to wash it down. my wife's philly beef sandwich was salty and dry as well. However, service was very good. one and done for us.
Was my son's 21st birthday on the 6th, went here for a drink & snacks. Arrived at 2.50pm, they open at 3pm, went inside at 3.05pm. We sat outside under the roof because it started raining. The waitress came asking if we were looking to eat. We said that some snacks would be nice. She told us the kitchen wouldn't open until 4pm. I replied that we'll just have something to drink then, she replied "OK". 20 minutes later we left, after not getting a any kind of menu or service. We walked right by her as she sat at the bar smiling at us as we left. Thankfully, we found a much nicer place with great beer and service on Titus Ave.
