Reviews for Atlas Eats in Rochester, NY
First off, the food was far overpriced for what you get. These guys are using the same ingredients as any other diner in the... area but mark up the prices far more than they should be able to. Maybe they make their own bread but an almost $14 salad shouldnot be made with canned beets and a frozen vege patty (overlooking the entire other can of worms of why your serving a whole,hot vege patty on top of a salad). A side salad on a $11 breakfast sandwich should not be just lettuce tossed in a dressingwith a sad tomato on the side. Idk why it seems to be so hard for restaurants like this in Rochester (ones that present theimage of being "higher quality food") to just use fresh ingredients. It's not hard to prep ingredients like tomatoes (the one Ireceived was at least 1 or 2 days in the prep container) the day of and to make your own ingredients for stuff like salads fromscratch. Pickled beets from scratch are not hard to make. For all of the farms in the area that you have access to, how are youstill using processed ingredients from cans and boxes? I could have gone to any one of the diners in the area and gotten thesame meal for probably $10 less with the exact same quality of ingredients. Hell, if you used fresh produce, maybe you couldeven bump the price up a dollar or 2 more! Second, the service was noticeably lacking. In spite of being told my wife wasgluten free (which admittedly, it was our error going to a place that did not seem to have gluten free options ), instead ofstating outright they didn't have anything gluten free, the waitress suggested something that supposedly didn't have gluten init, but actually did. Kinda counterintuitive to the message asking to let servers know of food allergies. I would prefer to betold there are no gluten free options so I can go somewhere else, than to have my wife suffer because your wait staff doesn'tknow what's in the food. Not to mention, it was kinda odd that myself and my wife, the only table with a pers Read more
Easily my favorite place in Rochester! Affordable and the quality is top notch. I got the chicken biscuit, which came with a... small salad. My partner got the seasonal salad, which today consisted of watermelon feta and quinoa salad with fried greentomatoes. They serve beer and wine too. The mimosa and peach puree drink are amazing. Great brunch place. Read more
We always enjoy our meals from Atlas, each one beautifully presented, freshly made, and delicious! This week, however, I must... give kudos to the Raspberry Lemon macarons -- they were exquisite! So light, slightly tart, and then that rich raspberry taste. I ate way too many!! Read more
2 pieces of advice. 1.) go when you are excited about every menu piece & 2.) don?t go during the summer. The AC is under powered... and we were extremely hot. Overall it?s a great and fun experience. You feel like you are on a food network TV show. Staff iskind and friendly and is there to help you have a great time. We were underwhelmed with the seasoning and flavoring profile ofthe dishes. We expected with the price to be blown away at the dishes but only 1/5 carried that weight. The others were decentbut felt like they lacked flavor of some sort of another. It would have helped if I thought of advice piece number one beforegoing. I would go back but only if I was excited for ever dish as I first stated. Read more
Phenomenal food, service and environment. Where have these kimchi pancakes been all my life? Perfect balance of sweet and savory... and fluffy. Read more
Best brunch in the Roc! The chicken cutlet is crispy, tasty, and delicious. The ranchero breakfast is also super good. And the... bacon? Incredible. Real fresh bacon - not that packaged stuff. Finally, get the bread pudding. Just do it. It?s the bestI?ve ever had. Seasonal fruit, a bit of chocolate, fresh cream all compliment this perfectly baked dessert. Don?t skip it. Seriously.

It was my first time visiting this charming gem and I was extremely satisfied with the experience! A friend and I went for... Sunday Brunch and were thrilled to find that breakfast was being served all day (till 2). Both indoor and outdoor seating wasavailable. We settled into an indoor location and had a chance to admire the decorations and sneak glances at the attachedbakery. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly and helpful in making our ordering decisions. We ended up choosingthe skillet, kale salad, and a stack of whole wheat pancakes to share - everything was scrumptious! I would definitely order anyof these again in a heartbeat. On our way out, I also ended up buying a loaf of ciabatta bread (another tasty find!). In all, Iwould surely go back to Atlas Eats. Till then, I'm recommending them to my friends and am looking for any excuse to make anotherjourney out there. Read more
Top 3 breakfast and lunch spots in Rochester. Excellent pastries as well. The 5 course dinner events they hold are amazing and... fairly priced. Read more
