Not the cleanest Tom Wahls I have been too, food was good and I love the root beer. But the place could use a good scrubbing
A Rochester area gem, and a great place for families. The chicken tender trash plate is amazing... The buffalo style grilled chicken sandwich is awesome, the burgers are 10x times better than any chain restaurant and the root beer & vanilla ice cream float is the best in Rochester! Wait time is longer than fast food..... But the quality is so much better.
Nice hot fries and burger was perfect
The fries were really good and so was their red (?) I dont remember what it was called but essentially it was a hot dog. The burger wasnt that great to me.
If you like a smashed burger that is prepared when you order then this place is a great choice. Multiple orders with modifications have been perfect which is great for picky eaters. The chicken sandwich is an alternative for those who want it. The chicken has had hard knots from time to time. The fries are crispy with a fluffy interior and do not come seasoned. The onion rings are okay; nothing to write home about.
Fries were great. Man behind the counter looked overworked, but kept a cool head to him. The burger with a piece of ham on it was weird, but not bad. Overall good experience. You can also see the local NAPA Auto Parts from the window. Huge plus.
Ordered a Cheeseburger from Drive-thru and it was Paper thin. Have never had their Burgers like this Before
Food is great as always but some of the employees seem miserable and dont have the best attitudes next time ill just go in instead of utilizing the drive through.
Best burgers of all the chains in the area.
I love the hamburgers, they are very low in fat. The home made root beer is the best.
Best fast food / eat in establishment chain in the area.
Asked a question and placed an order online and the team member were EXTREMELY professional and food was great.
It was $18 for 1 French fry one cheeseburger and 1 chocolate milkshake. Im. Im not going there again.
One of my favorite stops for food. Starting to get a little pricey but so is everything else
This place is bomb...theyre cheeseburgers are literally like heaven on Earth some of the best ever no joke I would eat here twice or three times a week if it wouldnt kill me.when you place an order its ready in like 5-10 minutes and they usually always get everything right!thank you for being a delicious cheeseburger!
It’s Tom Wahl’s! Food was great and service was even better.
Make sure the staff fully comprehends your order. They screwed up a simple burger order - 4 plain ground steak burgers with onions, 2 with Wahl Sauce and 2 without Wahl Sauce. What did I get? I got 4 onion burgers with mayonnaise and no Wahl Sauce. Plain means PLAIN! No ketchup, no mustard, no mayo. Those running the front line should be a little more attentive to customer needs.+Their burgers taste great.You get a ton of fries and they taste good too.-Their chicken is bland.Onion rings taste like they were deep fried in yesterdays oil.The staff is half attentive to customer needs.Caution: floor is slippery around the ketchup/mustard dispensers.
Best burgers around... Love the root beer.
I couldnt believe the amount of fries we got....I wish I had been starving so I couldve plowed through even half of them! 🤣 I love the food from TWs, especially the root beer floats.
Tom Wahl’s is usually great but not this location. Every time you order at the drive-thru, they sound annoyed. Today our burgers were slopped with mayonnaise on the top and bottom bun, it wasn’t appetizing at all. I recommend if you want Tom Wahl’s just drive to another location, I won’t waste my money on this one anymore.
The food is really good here but be prepared to wait a little bit. They have a drive thru but its not fast food so its not instant.the burgers are fresh but expensive so to get the best value order the kids meals or use the buy one get one ground steak coupons, theyre like a $5 value and easy to google. Search Tom Wahls coupon and it should come right up.
The staff is absolutely miserable. We had never used the drive thru, but they definitely take advantage of the multiple signs promoting long wait times, which defeats the convenience of a drive thru. We were overcharged, too…not worth wasting my time with a phone call. Garbage.
I was with a lady that had foot surgery, she almost fell due to the floor bringing slippery, also was with an elderly man. I was even sliding on the floor. The food was good though, no complaints there.
Very family friendly. Food was fast and delicious
They changed their veggie burger, its just awful.
Ordered a burger, fries, and a white hot thru the drive up. Food was hot and delicious! Great customer service! Will definitely go back again
Food is pretty decent, wait times are not very bad Concidering its like a bill greys but much faster!
I love a great cheeseburger and milkshake or float once in a while and even better when you can get it in a drive through! Tom Wahls has classic hearty homemade burgers and their own root beer! Its a great family treat!
Tom Wahls in Fairport is always a good experience. Portions are great, quality is excellent, and my son always enjoys going there.
Love this and servers, and management is top notch
Decent. Was recommended by someone thru my travels. Had the sausage & expected a hotdog-type but got a pattie instead. Not healthy whatsoever.
Best Burger place Ive ever been and I have been to most. Great dining experience and piles of good food.
Consistently quality food. Better than the fast food places. Mice to be able to get a fish fry any day of the week.
Tom Wahls is always good and pretty fast. Not the best fries but good. Burgers very good. They have plates, combo meals. Make theyre own root beer which is delicious. Overall its a good place to go for lunch anytime.
I usually love Tom Wahls, but not today. I ordered a fish dinner over the phone because my phone wouldnt let me order through their website because it said it was an unsafe site. I picked my order up in the drive through--Fairport location. I ordered mac salad instead of French fries. Upon opening it at home, I have French fries and no mac salad, AND the fish is very much over fried! I hope this is not the new norm!
Everythings great at Tom Wahls. Service as well. Fries were weird. One batch fresh, one not, served at the same time. Strawberry Sunday was tasty thanks to the strawberry sauce, but the soft serve wasnt as icy as I would have liked.
Simply, I love Tom Wahls. I think we had the fried mushrooms, a steak burger , fries and drinks. We were just ahead of the lunch rush. The store was presentable and clean, the staff was pleasant and everything went well. I would recommend this store (and several others) always.
The lunchtime wait was atrocious, the food was subpar and the condiments are expired.
Food was great. Super fast service. Root beer was great. My only problem was my fries were not very warm.
Takes an incredibly long time, even for simple orders such as a plain burger. I couldnt imagine attempting to use the drive-thru here. The food is quite good though, once you finally receive it... or maybe Im always just that much more hungry after my wait...
Online ordering is easy. Kids like the generous kids meals! Fries are excellent!
OMG JUST HAD THE LETS DOUGH BUFFALO ICE CREAM ITS SO FANTASTIC YUMMY LOVE IT THE FOOD IS SO GOOD ITS BETTER THEN MCDONALDS SCREW YOU MCDONALDS TOM WHALS ACTUALLY KNOWS REAL FOOD
My girlfriend and I have been there twice.She really liked the cheeseburgers and so did I. Able to use buy one, get one free coupon from Entertainment book. Lots of seating. Outdoor seating a plus on warmer days.
After walking for 2 hrs we decided to treat ourselves to a Tom Wahls burger & our 1st soft serve of the season 🤤😋 awesome service, clean & of course the food was mmmmm good
Great burgers! Best prices of the burger places in the Rochester area. Best rootbeer ever!!
Best cheeseburger around.
High-quality burgers and fries at affordable prices. Whenever Im back in Rochester, I like to stop at Tom Wahls.
I usually am happy with the food. But today, I went to order and I was getting the impression that these people really hate their job or feel above it. I received a short annoyed response when I called to order, and when I called after they screwed my order up. I even spoke to the manager who was less than apologetic. These meals are not the cheapest, so its disappointing when something goes wrong. I was going to have them replace my order, but I thinK Im just going to ask for a refund this time around.
Food is always good and staff is friendly. Really enjoy the plate and the hot sauce.
I will NEVER come here again. I order a Wahlburger NO LETTUCE 3 times in a row and I get extra lettuce 3 times in a row. I NEVER get my side of whatever I order. And of course its not until I get home to find out, They all act like Im bothering them, and are completely rude. This place is trash, never again will I EVER GO HERE!!!
Its hard to beat this American classic, its famous thin burgers are deliciously satisfying and the root beer is a family recipe. 4/5 because the staff is hit or miss.
Always awesome! If Tom Wahls starts a cult, Id like 3xl sweats, 9.5 trainers and lemon lime kool aid! Best burger joint ever!
First time and was fantastic!
Hamburger could have been more done,but other than that,food was good,fries hot,and soft,just the way I like them.
I love Tom wahls !! The Hollywood burger is my favorite..my wife and I hit it up Everytime were in Fairport visiting my parents. The root beer and onion rings are also a must get . Thank you for the friendly staff and clean environment 😊👍
Great staff, great food
Excellent food...like always!!! It was great to be able to order there at the drive-thru, too.
We always like the Fairport Tom Wahls. Their ground round sandwich is tasty, juicy and not like your typical fast food spots, you know the ones. They gave a Wahlburger too, has ham on it. Chicken sandwiches are tasty too. Lots to choose from on their menu including side dishes. Oh and dont forget Abbots ice cream ... Yummy
From drive-thru to dine-in, the food is worth waiting for! I don’t go here for service or nice decor or to have a fancy meal. I go here to enjoy my mushroom burger & french fries! And I enjoy it every time!
Always go here whenever Im visiting family. Good burgers, terrific price. I love chili fries with cheese and theirs doesnt disappoint. Staff is always friendly too!
Tom Wahls is one of the, if not the best burger joint in New York. Everything is fresh and tasty. I recommend the Junker 55 plate. Much better than any other garbage plates. The root beer is to die for. Get it in a frosted mug!
Great value! Very good burgers and hots. Always friendly and helpful staff. The best Root Beer anywhere. Facilities clean and neat
Tom wahls in Fairport is a beautiful clean place to have lunch or dinner or an ice cream I love it there you will love it there the people that wait on you are wonderful youll have an extra wonderful experience at Tom wahls Fairport
Darn good burger and fries!!
Hated it! How do you give the customer a pager and it doesnt work and then we I go to inquire about my food, it had been sitting there all along and you knew that it was already done without telling me even when the place was not busy! Giving one star is a being too nice! Wouldnt be going back ever!
Tom Wahls has some pretty tasty food. A little expensive though. Save money with some coupons of order a value meal. This place was a dump years ago but they finally put some money into sprucing the place up.
Best burger in the are dare I say the state. Everyone from out of town that Ive brought to Tom Wahls has had their tastebuds delighted by juicy burgers, crunchy fries complimented with Wahl sauce to dip them in! Try it out!
I love Tom Wahls! Always excellent!
Always like eating here ... Food still tasty, like that 50-60s atmosphere, prices not that low but ok and like their ice cream 🍦
Well, it would have been much better if the Mac. Salad didnt smell like it was bad. I rarely go through the Drive Thru, but today I did. Big mistake because now I am home and not going back out. Thanks Tom Wahls for keeping in top of things. NOT.
The cheeseburgers are so good
If you want a great American meal. Get a wahlburgers at Tom Wahls. Signature sauce and a slice of ham on a delicious patty, it is one of my favorites.
Best burgers in New York state! And recently named one of the top 50 in the United States! Best onion rings as well.
I was craving a Zweigles white hot so I did drive-up and that is all I ordered. It was late in the day and when I opened the bag I was very disappointed. It roll was flatter than a pancake and I don’t think I got a Zweigles because it was longer and thinner than that brand. Last time I will go there.
Fishfry was as big as the plate. This was the mini. Was reasonably priced. Came with fries, coleslaw, dinner roll, butter. Drink separate. Fish was very good.
They make their own root beer and for the price of a small soft drink you can drink it in a frosted mug. The root beer partially freezes in the glass. Its awesome.
Great burgers...
Old school old town flare with great tasting foods at great prices. Cant eat hear as often as my taste buds would like because the fried content & ice cream sundaes like my waistline too much.
Amazing service and food
My cheeseburger was outta this world!
There bugers are great but the fries arnt as salty as the other restaurant have.
I feel at home when I visit this Tom Whals. The staff is always friendly and the food is always out of this world. Its a hometown kind of place that I would be lost without. Keep up the good work!!
Great food at excellent prices. They even took a coupon for us that expired 5 years ago.
I have lunch here from time to time, and the food and service is always great. Great place to stop in for a quick bite of something better than McDonalds.
Great burgers and fries and the homemade root beer is the best! Our 15 year old boy loves their vanilla shake!
Food was good but service was not great. They forgot half our order and it took a very long time. It always seems like they don’t have enough people working.
Ive never really been a fan. I just dont think their food is that good for the price. And this location is always short- staffed so expect slow service.
Are you kidding me? Awesome burgers and the fries are just the way I like them. Plus, they have gravy. They have other good stuff too.
I work nearby and on occasion stop in for lunch. The food is always very good. I especially enjoy the mushroom / swiss burger and the fish fry. The fish is excellent.
Consistently delicious, hot food that is made when you order it. I love that they have a drive-thru that I can swing by and bring lunch or dinner home after a busy day!
Delicious food from a classic burger joint. Still love their rootbeer floats.
Lots of people. Not too long of a wait. Order was correct,but there was hardly any bun on either burger it was like 1/2 bun and it was smashed.
Service was very slow but the food was great. If you are not from the area and like burgers it is worth a visit.
Drive thru at Fairport location is perfect for a quick dinner grab on the way home from work. Everything was hot and fresh.
We almost left without our complete order, as we were called up and the chili was not included. When we arrived home one order was not complete. My burger was dry and overcooked. Not really interested in returning.
I was sooooo disappointed. My burger was thrown together with way too much mayonnaise. I really couldnt even enjoy it. Waste of hard earned money. Will go to Bill grays next time.
Two words: cheese curds.
This is probably the best place in Fairport for Burgets. Hot. Dos etc.
If youre from Rochester and havent had Tom Wahls, you havent experienced flavor. Get a wahlburger and experience the flavor
Food is good, fair prices, most counter staff seem like they have better things to do than take your order
Good stuff. I am not in NY anymore and these burgers are one thing I miss along with the delish fries!
Ordered at drive thru. Used the coupon for BOGO cheeseburgers. The line was busy but it went quickly. Good food we all enjoyed.
Good portions Fish sandwich was flavorful and filling.
Good food
Food was good and service was very good ( Employee Z deserves a raise )
First time to the area and to a Wahls. But her was really good and the staff were friendly. If we lived here, we would go back many times!
Long wait most times however it is hot and fresh every tine so worth the wait if you have the time to wait a few min it is very hot very good and custom made to your liking.
Walk right in sit right down daddy let ur appetite begin,nothing better ever then a TOM WAHLS BURGER ! THANK U FOR UR ART!
I find the food well prepared, and very tasty. The personal are very accommodating, and always there to help. Much better than Bill Greys.
A smidge on the pricey side for me but well worth it. Juicy burgers and crispy fries. Delicious!
Burgers are amazing. I went here recently and had forgotten how much better the food is than national (and even local) franchises!
Definitely good food. The root beer is what really makes it though. Amazing.
Good place for a burger or garbage plate. Service is good. Sometimes tables could be a little cleaner at busier times.
Always amazing food, clean restaurant, friendly people. Weve never had a bad experience!
Large, clean and inviting. I enjoyed my day out with my sons here. My 3 year old was enamored with the beautiful jukebox.
Excellent burgers. Best root beer. 50s atmosphere. Fun place especially for children.
Very awesome. Quiet, low key environment. Everybody was pleasant.
Burger did not taste good. Really needed seasoning. I got a root beer shake and it did not taste of root beer at all.
Good food, good prices. Quick service.
Loved the fish fry! Great day to go get something to eat.
Almost $15 bucks for a 5 piece chicken tender meal? Ridiculous. Food is good but not extraordinary.
Still uses a good amount of bacon! 5 * just for that. Also I love that it has a drive thru!
My wife said that her food was awesome and I had the best Tom Wahls cheeseburger ever.
Great food and service. The small ice cream cones are HUGE and a great deal!
Ice cream was delicious and only $1.07 on Mondays
I love the food and service is fast. Best root beer floats!
Good food
Forgot the catsup burgers gets thinner everytime I go not much topping burgers
Service was neutral. Not friendly but not bad per say. Burger tasted a little off. Overall would not come back.
Like all Tom Wahl’s, the food is delicious. Staff is friendly and whenever I call ahead my food is ready to go!
Local fast food chain. OK burger, they smash it down to squeeze out the juices. Free standing location.
They got my order wrong they replaced it and the cheeseburger they gave me tasted like potted meat. It was horroble! I will not be returning.
Great food and great service. Love the fish fry and burgers
Mushroom Swiss Burger was cooked perfectly but the onions ruins were undercooked. I expected battered rings but they were just frozen bread-crusted.
Very good local place to get a burger and fries. Their root beer is awesome as well.
They can’t even hear you at the drive through. Really?
Usually great with no issues, but my dads burger was served with its center cold.
Delicious. A++
Not sure why they give you a bag for take out, but then place the food in it while its laying down, and hand it to you upright so your foods all sloshed to the bottom of the bag in a mess....
My family all say its as good as Bill Grays, I wouldnt go that far, but it was pretty good
Great burgers, grilled cheese actually too, but that root beer tho...so good
We serve the best burgers and hots on the planet, and with the best service! Tell all your friends to visit us and well prove it!!
I think they make the burgers better than bill grays. Yes I know theyre owned by the same people.
Always fast and delicious American Classics. Drive thru is fast and chocolate milkshakes are the best!
You know what to expect. Better burgers than the national chains, friendly service.
Smaller than the Avon location, but just as good quality food and service. The food is excellent.
Its a little sticky but the food is decent.
Delicious cheese burger and root beer float.
Delicious made to order food. My kids love this place. :)
Very good food, a little expensive for burgers but quality was very good.
This is the place my grandson always asks me to take to fot a milkshake or a rootbeer float. Great service and great food.
Prices a little high for what u get. I like the rolls, but meat is thin, service could be better
Great food nice workers!!! Amazing burgers and fries Best place on the planet
Great food. Service isnt perfect but most clerks get it right.
Always great !!! Been going there for years!
Its a restaurant with fatty, greasy American food… not much more I can say to edify.
No beef on kimmelwieck. White hots are great
Always a pleasant experience. The food is great and the employees are super friendly
Slooooooooooow.Slowest of any Tom Wahls I have ever been in.All I got was 2 plain ground steaks and Frys it took 20 minutes to go...
Food was good as usual, but it took three attempts to find a a ketchup bottle that had anything in it.
Not the norm for sure!! Not sure what happened but the burger was a thing that makes you go hmmmmmm
The burgers and fries are excellent, portions are large and the atmosphere is good.
Good food and quick service, but gets pricey very quickly with a group of people.
Great food. Great service. Clean dining area. Friendly staff.
Go there 1x a week . Sun Mon tues $.99 ice cream. Always use a 2 for one hamburger coupon.

Foods is always good cant really complain about anything.

2022-04-14The employees here are hilarious. They made me laugh so hard. I hope theyre getting paid a living wage and get lots of vacation time, they deserve it
Review №2
2022-04-28Burgers are a little greasy, very filling, but also very yummy. We always ask for our fries extra crispy and they never are so that kinda stinks. The root beer is awesome!
Review №3
2022-06-18When we arrived we let them know we were picking up a to-go order. The order was ready but it sat on the counter for 15 min before they realized it was ours. They did give us a free mac salad to make up for it. The Fish Fry was pretty good and the Root beer is fantastic. Some folks may want to order the fish fry extra crispy
Review №4
2022-07-08My first visit to a Tom Wahls, and its great. Fast food style food, big fish sandwiches. Good food, friendly staff, and a very clean restaurant. Try there hot meat sauce on a hot dog, warning it is spicy.
