Classic diner feel with excellent food and even better service. Milkshakes, burgers, and tater tots....what more do you need?!? Real talk, we live less than a mile away and my family loves this place. Do yourself a favor and stop in or even take it to go. You won't be disappointed.

Came to Red Knapps and tried the Shake challenge! The shakes were delicious, and the food looked fantastic as well. If your passing through i definitely recommend stopping and grabbing a shake or something to eat! I recommend trying the Mikey Burger!

So we ended up here by accident and it was a wonderful accident indeed as our original choice was closed. The service was pleasant and worth the little wait we had. Our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything. The food was outstanding. My husband truly enjoyed the "Brown Cow" shake. My banana shake was so fresh tasting and creamy. The burgers were juicy and well flavored. The onion rings definitely held up and I loved that the onion stayed in the batter after a bite. Will definitely be back and bring our kiddo as they have dairy free shake options as well.

Nestled in downtown Rochester, we stumbled upon a charming restaurant located at the corner of Third Street and Main Street. Red Knapp's, a quaint hamburger joint, instantly captured our attention. We were seated at a cozy booth in the corner, surrounded by a delightful retro old-school ambiance. The establishment has a nostalgic feel with classic elements such as malts, hearty burgers, a rounded bar, and a small cafe setting that accommodated around 30 patrons. The culinary experience was nothing short of spectacular. The burgers were not only delicious but also made with high-quality ingredients, and the bread was wonderfully fresh. One standout was the Cajun fries, perfectly seasoned to tantalize the taste buds. While we indulged in the delectable food, we couldn't help but imagine how a small jukebox and roller skating waitress would have cemented the vibe. Nevertheless, our dining experience was thoroughly enjoyable. The attentive and friendly servers further elevated our visit. We are grateful for the exceptional service and look forward to returning to try their famous malt on our next visit. Our bill came to approximately 60.72. We enjoyed two burgers, two orders of cajun fries, sprite chicken tenders, and a BLT. As a side note, the burgers are not served with fries; however, customers have the choice of selecting either regular seasoned fries or cajun fries for an extra cost. The seasoned fries are a combination of salt, pepper, butter, and garlic. We dined in and carried extra out

Super busy, but the service was impeccable, the food was very good. Seems like it's a family run business everyone was very friendly. Definitely will make a return visit.

Took a stroll down memory lane and visited. This place hasn't changed much in 40 plus year's. I remember the twirling seats and excellent malts. I was so happy it made me cry. This is a excellent place to make your own memories at with your little ones or friends and family. Hope to come back again.

Very good things to say all around about this place! I originally found this place via the internet. The owner has been very passionate about his restaurant and has created many fun social media videos within the restaurant. They have burgers that are so big, you can barely take a bite. But one bite, and you'll fall in love. Everyone in my party ordered a different burger, and we loved them. Our waitress was also named "Grace", and must've said something about my birthday or something, but I was able to meet the owner as well! The whole staff there tonight was incredible and made my twentieth birthday memorable. The whole place even pitched in to sing 'Happy Birthday' as well, which made my night. Thank you Matt, Grace, and the staff at Red Knapps, I will definitely be back!

I brought my family in over the weekend and had an absolutely wonderful experience! The atmosphere is wonderful the staff were amazing and the Owner Matt was super nice! I am beyond thankful he took the time to come out and meet me and chat with me and my family! Anyone who is in the area or even within an hour or 2 of here definitely needs to make it over here for a burger! Matt if you read this thank you again! I will DEFINITELY be back!
