Dave and Susie provided a most excellent meal for 60 people for my husband's surprise 70th birthday. It was a very reasonable price with a wide variety of food choices. They were professional, yet friendly and humorous. Dave was great during the planning of this event and helped me to plan the menu. I would highly recommend them for any occasion.

Great food but they add like $2 if you use a card (as opposed to cash) and don’t tell you about it.

Dave catered our outdoor wedding and the food was amazing!! Delicious and plenty for all guest!! Dave was easy to call and communicate with and was so incredible with our wedding guests. He and his wife even made up and plate and served my grandmother. Top notch service and great tasting food. Thank you so much!!

Easily one of my favorite quick places to stop at for food. I'm big on the burgers from there. It's higher grade than "typical street meat". Definitely more of a legitimate "Hots" place. Dave's quick on the grill and cooks things fresh. You're not getting a burger he's had sitting on the grill waiting for someone to order, and he's usually cooking a few orders at a time.

Love this place. Great for a lunch break or snack. They're a super-friendly couple and a cornerstone of the Downtown Rochester / Washington Square community! ??

A staple downtown, simple, affordable, and good. Their red hot topped with pepper relish should not be skipped.

Due to Covid-19, we were very last minute at planning our daughter’s graduation party. I found Dave while searching on the internet, read his reviews and then contacted him. It was one week before our party. He was already booked for a party before ours the same day but he told me he could still drop off everything we would need. He went above and beyond to accommodate us, helped me choose the menu, and assured me I didn’t need to worry. He brought everything right to us, set it all up, even waited until they arrived to dress the Caesar salad so it was super fresh. We had Italian sausage pieces with peppers & onions, amazing roasted chicken, macaroni salad, salt potatoes, Caesar salad, and fruit salad. Everyone raved. Thanks, Dave & Sue! Highly recommend!

Always great food at the food cart! Dave and his wife are very experienced and keep the line moving. I've also used them for catering and highly recommend, made to order sandwiches for your guests is a real highlight. In addition their salads and care to ensure you have everything you need to pack up at the end of the meal is outstanding, no disappointments! Dave is an awesome guy and his wife too. The food is always good. I've eaten there a lot over the past couple years.

Dave's Sidewalk is an absolute gem! Dave and his wife have been serving "street meat" as long as I can remember. He sets the bar by which all street vendors in any city shall be measured. Fresh rolls, great steak sandwiches and the best hot sauce (meat sauce) you'll ever have. If you haven't been to DSW Cafe, you haven't eaten in Rochester.
