This is the best food option I’ve experienced in months. The owner Alex is so kind and so are the employees. The Garbage plate is delicious!! And you can get a vegetarian version. I would recommend this to anyone coming to Rochester. Really good value, you get a ton of food for the price. I’ll be eating the rest for breakfast. I was kind of having a difficult week having a meal here turned it around. I will be coming back.

Saw this joint on YouTube and I had to try the ‘Garbage Plate’. Honestly this place is a hole in the wall and could use some TLC. It was reasonably busy and the folks behind the counter were friendly, including the owner, who I’d recognized from the YouTube video. Ordered the classic cheeseburgers on homefries and macaroni salad smothered in meat sauce. The Garbage Plate wasn’t spectacular in terms of any individual components, but is a great example of the ‘whole being greater than the sum of its parts’. Ate at the counter and it was very good. I may be slightly inflating the rating here with 5 stars, but the originality of the dish and the legendary city-fixture status of the place earns it special consideration.
Was certainly not disappointed and will most definity return next time in Rochester.

If you visit Rochester, you must absolutely visit this establishment. A diamond in the rough. Nothing fancy, but food, service, and value are amazing! I would definitely like to come back. I give it 2 thumbs up but my toilet might give it a middle finger in the morning.

I thought the food was way overpriced. I was not impressed at all. The “sauce” had no flavor at all.
3 plain hotdogs, small fry, 2 cold baked beans and a macaroni salad, w small sauce and 2 drinks was $45. Ridiculous.

Absolutely terrible food. A gristly burger and otherwise flavorless food. The only thing seasoned and with any taste was yellow mustard, and it comes that way out of the jar. Customers arguing with each other about who was first, arguing with the cashier about who ordered first and in what order the food came out. Dirty and uncared for interior. And a lovely narcan dispenser just in case. Would never recommended even as a prank to someone I hated.
