Newts is pretty good. Seems like they’ve been able to hold down that best burger spot in the best of for awhile. Our burgers were good but nothing to write home about and at $15 plus per burger with fry I actually expected a little more. The bring a big bowl of popcorn once your seated which I thought a bit odd for a burger joint. They had a large bar with booths and tables to sit at. Many TVs to view the sporting events of the moment. Our server was fantastic on this Sunday late afternoon visit. He was about as good as we’ve had in a long time. But Newts should watch their back as I think some other burger joints are on their heels for that Best Of spot!

The portions are huge! The food is great and the staff is wonderful. I can't remember our waiters name but he was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed and wanted. You will not leave hungry. I will eat at Newt's every time I come to Rochester.

Food is good at Newts in my opinion nothing special. It's typical bar food. Burgers fries beers. They have a couple unique burger options but I prefer Kings any day over Newts. That being said I still frequent here a lot because you can never go wrong with a burger and fries. Depending on what location you go to the help is lacking a little but over all I give it 4 stars and will continue to take my family here for burgers time to time

It really surprised me how empty this place was in the winter. I suppose in the summer months, and maybe even before Covid, this place is really hopping. The burgers are excellent and the people behind the bar are nice. You don’t have to wait very long for the food.

This is my 2nd time here, and what a disappointment! The first time was many years ago for my anniversary, the food, service was all fast and great! Tonight, we came here for my daughter's national competition, Just for Kicks. We decided to go to Newt's for dinner since our first experience was so good. When we walked in, the message was to "Seat Yourself" so we did. I walked by a server and he was so busy bragging about his high school wrestling experience, he backed up and bumped into me. I made it a point to said, "Opps, sorry. Excuse me" and he didn't acknowledged me. We set down and waited. The waiter who bumped into me came by, looked at our table and started talking to the table next to us (who was already done eating). He continues to ignore us. There were two other female wait staff talking to each other and neither of them acknowledged us. We decided to give them 2 minutes to acknowledged us and they continued to chit-chat and laugh. We decided to leave. As we were passing one of the female wait staff, she looked at me and she pretended to go over to the cash register. I'm reminded that as EQUAL as America claims to be, we are still judged by the way we look. I'm Asian, my husband and daughter are both mixed. I'm left to think that they ignored us because we are not white as all the other white customers has been served. We WILL NEVER go back to Newt's. We went to Chester's and the food and service was awesome! GO TO CHESTER'S..much better view and clean setting!

Loved it! The best burger in Rochester 16 times is no joke. The fried onion blue 1/2 lb burger was amazing. Hefty price but they were worth it. I'll get the same thing over and over again. The other photo is the wife's mushroom Swiss burger. I sampled hers but mine blew hers out of the water.
