Recipes

It's a breakfast and lunch place folks with an excellent menu. We've been dining at the Haggerty location for at least 10 years and never had a bad meal! Service is great. And Recipes' is family owned and they take great pride in the food they serve and service they render.One ought to be wary of self proclaimed restaurant and cuisine critics whose only expertise is that they post the most number of reviews on Yelp. I would suggest that simply taking a look at the background of overly wordy and critical reviewers and you will see what I mean. If you don't like the food or service at any restaurant then take it up with the owner or manager rather than hiding behind a keyboard posing as a critic.Recipes' is a five star breakfast and lunch restaurant. It says enough that on the weekends the place is always full...

Yummy food, attentive staff, and generous portions! This is a hidden gem in Troy. Very homey feel, perfect for any occasion. We LOVE their sticky buns, a must try. Their stuffed avocado salad was huge, but the dressing was nice and light and very refreshing. It came with a whole avocado and large scoops of tuna. If you are a fan of brussel sprouts, definitely order their brussel sprout hash from the specials menu! The crab cake Benedict was yummy too. Very generous portion but not too heavy or salty! They have a parking lot in the back and even offer DoorDash. Lots of menu options if you are craving sweet or salty. They even have delicious Vietnamese food! You can't go wrong. Definitely stop by their Troy or Rochester location!

Greeted when we entered and our waitress, Sharon, was super attentive and nice. Food was just ok, nothing amazing to lure us back. Took off a star because the food was super slow in arriving to the table and they weren't super busy. I had scrambled eggs, ham, toast, potatoes. My husband had a scramble, his comment, "too many potatoes."

If you're looking for a cozy spot with amazing food, Recipes is the place to be! This small Asian-American owned gem has a fantastic ambiance and the service is top-notch. I highly recommend the sticky buns--just the right amount of sweetness. Also tried the Brussels sprouts hash, stuffed avocado salad, and crab cake Benedict. All delicious, fresh, and generous portions. Tons of options for any craving, and everything is made with care. Perfect for breakfast or brunch!

Food was good. Service was excellent. Our server Rico was very attentive and pleasant. The restaurant had a British or traverse city small restaurant. Very nice ambiance.

Recipes is a nice little breakfast spot that's close by! Cozy! Super friendly waiters and waitresses. Service is always 10/10. This place is nothing too special, but is always consistent. This time I got the crab cake eggs Benedict. Wasn't too salty surprisingly. The crab cakes were not too overpowering. It was well seasoned. The Benedict sauce was on point (one of the better ones around)!Can't wait to try something else on the menu!

Quaint and clean interior. Very calm, quiet, and decent amount of sitting space. Staff was very kind and patient-- after finishing my meal, we did not realize the restaurant had closed until my friend looked at her watch. Yet, we were not rushed or treated unkindly during the during our overstay of 10 minutes. Decent menu options, nothing fancy. Plates offered are things you might be able to whip up at home, but this is not a bad option if you just feel lazy about cooking. Overall, this was a low maintenance eating experience. My friend said she loves the place and visits often.

This used to be my go-to place when I lived in Troy and loved it. I decided to go back after a few years to check it out, and unfortunately, the quality has gone down. They used to have fresh cream for coffees, and now it's the standard half and half (no flavors), and there aren't any kids drinks included with meals- milk for my son was $3. They had one breakfast kids meal, and it only included a pancake for $7-$8. I didn't have kids before but was disappointed in the lack of options.My husband and I got the chuck wagon skillet, and before, the vegetables were sautéed and married with the steak nicely. This time, they seemed to have been just cooked with the potatoes. They were raw, and the raw onion was overpowering. The potatoes were very bland, and there seemed to be a massive lack of seasoning overall. The cheese was melted nicely, which saved it a bit.The atmosphere is inviting, and the waitress was great, but for $62, I expected more. I don't know if we'll be back.

Our party of three stopped in on a Saturday morning for breakfast. The restaurant is light and bright. Our waitress was friendly and helpful.My mother had the avocado toast with poached eggs, which she enjoyed. My husband had an omelette which he also enjoyed. I had the Straggler Skillet. Skillets are my go to when out for breakfast and usually it's a safe choice, but not at Recipes. The straggler comes with ham, tomato, onion and mushrooms. Usually the vegetables in a skillet are cooked before being added to the potatoes. Not here. I believe they took scoops of the vegetables and added them to the potatoes before topping with cheese. The only cooking seems to have been the melting of the cheese before adding the eggs. I ate part of the skillet before the raw white onion became too much to continue eating.In addition, I ordered hot tea and the others ordered coffee. My husband asked for a refill but the hostess who was helping refill cups wouldn't give him coffee because she saw my hot water pot near him. We got it straightened out but it took a lot more explaining then it really should have. The customer has a coffee cup and asked for a refill. Why give him a hard time because there is a tea pot on the table where two other people are also seated?We are glad we gave Recipes a try but likely won't return.

The food and service were excellent. The menu has a lot to choose from. We love coming here.
