Nick Tahou Hots Hot Dog Restaurant ·$

Forget your diets when you enter Nick Tahou's, a legendary restaurant of Rochester which has been in operation since 1918. Inaugurated by the current owner's grandfather and named after the current owner's father, this restaurant is famous across the State of New York for their mean Garbage Plate. Do not get apathetic towards the unappetizing name, because this dish has a proven track record of converting the most ardent health advocates with its red and white hots, chicken tenders, eggs, baked beans, and hamburger infused plates of mac & cheese. The plate is doused in house sauces and arrives in the company of bread and butter. Though, the Garbage Plate is one of the fattiest dishes served in the state, it is Rochester's tradition and comes highly recommended.

This place had been on my list for a long time, but Rochester was never really nearby. That changed with a trip to the Finger Lakes. Stopped here on a Saturday for lunch. Not the most...

Amazing as always! The plate is big enough to share (or split into two meals!) Every time my family craves a garbage plate, we make the drive here! The staff is always super friendly, and it's...
