Casey Jones - City of Rochester

They have a small private parking lot next to the bar, but it fills up quickly. You can park on Ridgeway Ave. across from the bar, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s better to take a side street behind the bar and then walk a block or two.

When it came to food, I decided to try the chicken wings. The cook kept boasting about them being voted the best in the city back in 2008, but it's clear why that title hasn't been updated in years. The blue cheese sauce they served with the wings was terrible; if the blue cheese is off, it really detracts from the overall experience of the wings. I couldn't help but wonder if they ever actually taste their food. The wings were accompanied by oversized carrot pieces that looked like they were chopped with reckless abandon. If the owners want to improve their chances of success, I would suggest investing in a competent cook who understands flavor profiles. It's easy to deep fry wings and coat them in sauce, but that’s not enough. I’m starting to think that the 2008 award might have been more fiction than fact. It's unlikely they'll be earning any accolades in the near future.

Avoid this restaurant at all costs! The food is terrible, and the atmosphere is worse. I ordered a Reuben, and it was as tough as shoe leather, accompanied by sauerkraut that seemed like it had been stored since the Cold War. It feels like they must be paying off the health inspector. Just run away from this place!
