The Market Grill
Casual restaurant within I-Square serving hand-pressed Angus beef burgers, sandwiches, and daily specials, using breads from local vendor Martusciello's Bakery.
Overview
The Market Grill is a casual American restaurant located inside the I-Square complex at 400 Bakers Park in the Irondequoit neighborhood of Rochester, NY. The restaurant has been part of I-Square since the mixed-use development opened in 2011, a project created by Irondequoit natives Mike and Wendy Nolan as a community gathering place. The Market Grill operates alongside several other family-owned dining concepts within the complex, including a sushi bar, a Chinese restaurant, a coffee shop, and an on-site craft brewery.
What They Offer
The menu centers on charbroiled, hand-pressed certified Angus beef burgers served on toasted rolls from Martusciello's Bakery, a local Rochester bread supplier. Specific options include:
- The Market Burger — a 7 oz. Angus patty with lettuce, tomato, and onion on a Martusciello's roll
- The Bistro Burger — topped with a fried egg, Applewood smoked bacon, arugula, and dijon mayo
- The Pub Burger — finished with caramelized onions and blue cheese
- Cooper's Quarter Pound Burger — a 4 oz. patty with a fried egg on a DiPaolo roll
Beyond burgers, the kitchen prepares sandwiches, house-made soups, wraps, and rotating daily specials. Dine-in, take-out, and online ordering through ToastTab are all available. The restaurant also has access to I-Square's private event and meeting spaces, which can accommodate up to 150 guests for receptions.
Known For
The Market Grill has built its identity around locally sourced ingredients and straightforward, made-to-order cooking. Its use of Martusciello's Bakery rolls — a Rochester-area staple — for its burger and sandwich bread is a defining feature that connects the restaurant to the city's food traditions. The rotating daily specials give the compact menu regular variety beyond the core burger lineup.
Location & Neighborhood
