Additional Comments We have never been disappointed with this place! The food is excellent, any choice is a good one! Their prices are in line with most places and worth the cost. We love to take our guests here when they visit. It's right around the corner from Bongo Non's place and almost directly across the street from Pioneer Motorsports, which offers a 10% discount on parts for Venturerider members.

 

Ask Freebird, I'm sure he will agree this is a nice place to stop...

Name of Restaurant The Dinosaur Bar-B-Q

Street Address 99 Court St.

City Rochester

Quality of Food Great

Quality of Service Good

Biker Friendly? (Parking, Trusted Location, Etc.) Yes

Kind of Food? (Mexican, Chinese, etc.) Great American Bar-B-Q

Alcohol Served? Yes

Additional Comments The Dinosaur is more than just Biker friendly, the two brothers that own the two locations in Rochester and Syracuse both ride. The Rochester resterant though is in the picturesque old Lehigh Valley Railroad station located on Court st. in downtown Rochester.

 

The station overlooks the Genesee river and in the summertime there is seating outside and and motorcycle only parking in the court yard parking lot on the resturant premisie. The food is slow smoked and everything from the briskets to the steaks to the chiken is melt in your mouth good ! Don't forget the pulled pork!

 

The best bargain on the menu is the couples combo sampler that gives you a little of everything plus three sides and corn bread. Nothing can beat a great saturday night ride and some of the best Bar-B-Que in New York State. if youare in the Rochester New York area its a MUST!

Additional Comments Dand R Depot is located on Rt 19.. 4 miles south of the New York state thruway between the cities of Rochester and Batavia...or if you prefer one half mile north of rt.5 again on Rt 19..Nancy, the sweet 70 something owner is a lovely woman who enjoys seeing bikers at the restaurant..She will tell you how she likes to watch the Sunday Bluehair crowds faces when we arrive on our bikes ...She and her late husband were bikers at one time..She will tell you how she would go to church on the back of a BSA in high heels...but enough of that..The food is absolutely wonderful..lunches are around 7.00 dollars and dinners around 15.00....You must experience the little restaurant for yourself..If you call ahead, she will even set up tables under a canopy for your group...but that takes the fun out of watching the church crowd...this is a small restaurant with seating for only about 35 or 40...best home made hamburgers and chicken pot pie in the world..Portions are HUGE.. difficult to finish a burger or a wrap ....Dessert is heavenly....When asked if I could write this review, she asked was estatic with the thought of having more bikers around to liven things up...Oh yea, the service is wonderful and it is a FUN place to visit with all of its train and German decor..This is a winner..

Name of Restaurant Rosalie's

Street Address Rt.5&20

City Skeneatales

State or Province NY

Website (Optional) -

Quality of Food Fantastic

Quality of Service Fantastic

Biker Friendly? (Parking, Trusted Location, Etc.) Yes

Kind of Food? (Mexican, Chinese, etc.) Italian

Alcohol Served? Yes

Additional Comments Rosalies is considered one of the BEST Italian resturants in the Central New York area.

Located in Rt.5&20 just west of the beautiful Village of Skeneatales its modest building hides a delight of fine Italian foods. The bread alone, baked on the premises is fantastic and many nights they'll give you a loaf to take home with you.

 

Dress code is casual but the atmosphere is festive and lively with a beautiful tuscon decor. You are served by two waiters that keep you supplied with wine , bread and whatever else you desire. Rosalies prices are a bit hit and a dinner for two with drinks can run to about $75.00. But the food is so good you'll gladly pay the price.

 

To get there take the New York State Thruway to the Auburn exit ( 40) and head south to Rt.5 & 20 then turn left and head east about 8 miles. Its just before you enter the Village. If your in Central N.Y. and you crave great Italian food Rosalie's is a must.
