LDR Char Pit, Lake Ave, Rochester NY LDR Char Pit was a restaurant on Lake Avenue that opened in 1945 and is named after the initials of the founder's three children. A roadfood.com review by Stephen Rushmore, Jr. features pictures of the famed steak sandwich and describes the sandwich as a grilled single slice of beef (as opposed to the steak sandwich available elsewhere consisting of shaved beef cooked on a griddle.)
The sandwich is "a seasoned, lean steak sandwich that is so tender that adding condiments would only downgrade the experience." The reviewer gave LDR Char Pit 10/10 for visiting again, 10/10 for food, 9/10 for atmosphere, and said that it is worth driving up to 60 miles to get there. Photos
