Nick Tahou Hots is a staple here in Rochester NY..."Home Of The Garbage Plate"! The food is always excellent, always delicious, and, always reasonably priced! You have to try it...!!!

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.

Nick Tahou serves up the best and most legendary plates in Rochester. Do not come to the city without popping in for one!

This is seriously one of the worst piles of dog food I have ever consumed in my life. Didn't even come close to finishing it. Nothing had any taste whatsoever. It was pretty terrible all around. Plus, the other customers in the store, leave quite a bit to be desired. One of them got in an argument with the person at the counter and proceeded to throw a cup of soda on them. The narcan dispenser by the front door is also a nice touch. Avoid at all costs.

Wow. I’d read about the garbage plate, and on a recent trip to Rochester, decided I had to try it out. I’ll say that it’s a little difficult to find the restaurant. The signage looks like it is a few decades out of date, and you wonder if there’s anything in the building. The building is also kind of falling apart. You’d never know that a veritable goldmine of culinary delight is hiding behind the crumbling brick. Go around the back and enter in the glass door that is unlabeled. The staff was very eager to explain the various garbage plates. It’s not fancy, but it’s great. I loved everything about my dining experience at Nick Tahou Hots. Food was wonderful and served within five minutes of ordering. I’d give it six stars if it were allowed.

Don't go your entire life without eating a garbage plate at this cozy little place. Staff and locals were a lot of fun.

Food was freshly made and good. It had been 40 years since I had a garbage plate. The macaroni salad was the best part of the plate with a strong good flavor. The service people were friendly. I would recommend this as a Rochester staple.

Spotless! Of course the building is 70 years old so the inside is not the newest, but is clean as any restaurant I've ever seen. Hotdogs and fries delicious. Hot sauce perfect. My husband got the garbage plate and loved it. Always a treat. Hope it will be around for another 70 years!.
