Great: -Canolli pancakes! And yes, they are delicious! -Good-sized menu with plenty of options, even for my gluten-free wife -Above average selections/options in condiments and extras like jellies, jams, coffee creamer, etc. Average: -The interior is average breakfast diner. Not bad at all, but nothing that stands out. -It can get quite crowded at times you would expect, like Sunday morning. But they do a good job of moving things along. Wait times were very tolerable. -Service. I thought of adding this to the great section, because anymore even average service seems great. Wait staff was friendly and orders came out quickly and correctly. As I mentioned, sometimes you had to wait a bit but you could tell staff was hustling along. No one was being lazy here. - Some of the prices seemed a little high but were actually good considering the portion sizes. The canolli pancakes are an example but they were enough for 2.5 meals, so maybe not pricey in the end. We will definitely come back whenever we are visiting our kid at RIT.

I have to say my husband Tony and I have been eating here for several years and we just LOVE Steve’s diner! We have some dietary restrictions and they have many gluten free options and also serve vegan butter. The staff is so warm and friendly and the food is amazing. We’ve become friends with several people there. Michael , the host, is stellar: very personable, kind, and truly cares about the clientele. It feels like home at Steve’s we love you guys.
