Cheap Meals

Diners

Rochester does not disappoint when it comes to unique and interesting diners1. Some of them are cheap, most are sleazy, all will keep refilling your coffee.

Also see Family Restaurants for list of family restaurants that often mimic the diner experience but not quite diners.

Upscale Restaurants

Take-Out Food

Our Take-out Food page provides a list of establishments which allow customers to pick-up ready to eat food for off-premise consumption or who make deliveries of such food to customers. This list is not all-inclusive as most restaurants allow some level of take-out upon request. Asian restaurants and pizzerias are known for take-out as well and are generally not duplicated here.
