Bay Front Restaurant

Nestled alongside the Irondequoit/Penfield border (i.e., part of Irondequoit Creek). Down in a gully between the twin steep hills of Empire Boulevard. There’s a swamp round the back, and a kayak rental place o’er the creek. This is a diner where a grizzled American detective and a fish-out-of-water Soviet secret ops agent meet while trying to track down a crime lord. Make sure to wear your old-school leather shoulder holster. We walked in, and the music immediately informed us what kind of dining experience we were about to have. The music, and the linoleum rocks on the wall.

 

The bay (it’s back there somewhere)

 

Patrons who sit at the counter: don’t be momentarily confused! You have not been magically transported into a subterranean cave diner in Fraggle Rock; it’s only linoleum!

 

Apparently people who arrive between 5:30 and 6:30 don’t get the breakfast special. Also, the restaurant opens at 7, so, no one gets nothin’. Also, it actually opened at like 7:09, so everyone gets everything.

The pancakes were quite above average! They had a crispy foundation that made them cohesive. Still fluffy atop, though.

 

It did NOT open at 5:30.

 


Don’t Miss: The breakfast special – ol’ reliable.

Also Don’t Miss: The pancakes offer the perfect balance of buttermilk fluffiness and crisp.

Pro Tip: They seem to be a bit cavalier about their opening hours, so it might be worth it to double check!
