My family, friends, and I have been frequenting Red Front for over ten years. We've enjoyed the good food, and the personable service provided by Nick, his family, his team; His wife Ms Carol is missed so by me. Truly a wonderful family to have in our community, with quality service to boot! I love Red Front! And recommend them highly!
Red Front has been around for years. They're a great option for breakfast. The best item on the menu has to be the ELAB - 3 eggs, cheese, and your choice of meat on a grilled french cut. I choose bacon. It's absolutely amazing.
The rest of the menu features your basic breakfast and lunch items with hot and cold subs, fried goodness and a nice selection of salads.
The interior is a bit quirky. The decor features red and white alternating tiles in various patterns. The kitchen and counter area were renovated a few years ago and are relatively pristine, but the seating area is a bit rundown. It features a narrow strip of several booths that can seat 2 or 4. A couple of tvs, lottery machine, and ATM round it out.
I like to stop in every once in awhile to see the owners. They're a father and son team. The father has been behind the register since forever. The son does most of the day to day management and cooking along with a great staff that treats you like family.
This is not for tourists. But if you're looking for a true local joint, where the food is cheap and incredibly satisfying, the toast is buttery and a little burnt around the edges, and the workers and clientel make you feel like you're at home (more like in your mom's kitchen), don't pass this place up!
I travel more than the average person. It's difficult to find a place this raw.
Stopped in for breakfast while waiting on Amtrak. My sandwich was better than anything I've had in NYC for literally half the price. I lived in Rochester for 6 years and never even knew about Red Front. Always good to see places like this in the void that is downtown Rochester.
Red front restaurant will be miss, but flower city diner is amazing. They are off to a great start. Breakfast was scoop tasty.
Only liquor store in downtown but they don't accept anything but cash and the closest place to get cash, (World Wide News) their ATM was out of order. Make sure you bring those greenbacks. Good variety of liquor for a small store though.
Omg! The food was surprisingly awesome. I thought, "ok hole in the wall diner" but despite the location and look it turns out that it was much more. I recommend that you try it.😁
I got to say the red from restaurant is very nasty place.... Me and my family stop to eat something real quick. My wife need it to used the she found out the way really bad.... Never again I eat at red front restaurant
4 stars because it is pricy, but very convenient! Ran in got what I needed and still made the Saturday lineup! Very friendly!
A really nice place to start your morning, a good variety breakfasts. I can sit here and read my morning paper and eat my breakfast in peace.
