Smokey's Tavern - Rochester

Well what can i say, we are regular patrons of this establishment.. tonight was not good.. We ordered a two way combo, clam strips and Sea scallops.. the food was lukewarm and some burnt, some undercooked.. we asked for drawn butter and what we got looked like maybe margarine slightly warm.. so the waitress came over and asked how is everything.. well i explained our dismay about the food.. she got her manager who offered us free dessert..ok we asked for strawberry shortcake.. what we got they should be ashamed of. 1/2 biscuit. say what? our bill was 75.00.. the menu listed out combo for $31. and change when we got the bill the dish was $34 and change.. they said the scallops were market price, however that was not clear on the menu, even the waitress was confused... so my desert pic is below.. it will be sometime before we return.. to bad this place normally had good everything

Dropped my kiddo off at his friends for a party. Driving around town wasting time and got hungry. On my way to the hotel noticed Smokey's Grill and I thought wow I could go for a steak. Pulled my solo butt I to the parking and walked in with a smile proudly saying table for one. The hostess smiled back and said never solo here. She sat me in Kylie's section, which was the best decision. Kylie made my dining experience at Smokey's wonderful. Her bright smile and quick witted humor was just what I needed. I ordered my beer, cosmic brown ale, a water and pretzel poppers for an appetizer. For dinner I had the filet tips with a side salad and red skin mashed potatoes. My meal was perfect. Filet cooked to perfection, buttery soft and full of flavor. Potatoes were rich and creamy and pretzel bites were good, for me, could have used just a tad more cheese. I happily enjoyed my meal and the conversations with the staff who visited me. I highly recommend if you're in the New Hampshire area!!!

Fast Service, responsive staff, good food, reasonably priced. Haven't been before but definitely will be back

Always great. Great staff. Good seafood. Chowder is outstanding. Outside seating is real nice. A little rough in the sun. But it does go down.. Worth the trip

I 've been here several times now, each time hoping for a better food experience than the last, but I 'm always left wondering what I 'm missing, the place is always packed, so am I just ordering the wrong things? Our last visit was a Tuesday, we showed up at 7:30 (they close at 9), no one seemed interested in seating us, we waited and waited, finally walking across the bar to ask if we should seat ourselves, only to be told that someone would be right with us. We waited some more, finally someone comes to seat us, she looks around and then offers up a table in the side room, we asked if we could sit on the patio and were kind of made to feel as though we were a bother. To the patio we go, it was extremely dimly lit, the patio umbrella being up didn 't help. I got the roadhouse burger, bacon, onions, cheese and BBQ sauce, how could it be bad? It was bland, and dry, the bun had that I 've been sitting out all day and someone warmed me up to make me soft again feeling, the bbq sauce didn 't help mask that at all, the fries were well salted and crispy. The beer is cold, but we only got one because our waitress never came to check in on us until we were ready to leave. It wasn 't a terrible experience, but it wasn 't great, I had fun with my friends and I guess that 's what matters most, except, I shelled out almost $25 for a bland burger and a beer.
