The original Garbage Plate. Doesn't get better than this.Downtown is a better location (over Lyell Ave) with fresher food and cheaper prices.A must for Rochester visitors.

Home of the garbage plate. I wasn't thrown off by the name as it made perfect sense to me: an orgy of food can obviously be called a garbage plate, yes? Anyways, the spot came to me highly...

Yes they are the original, and yes they are still the best. Greasy to the max, but amazing still. I moved out of state in 07 and think/talk about garbage plates quite often. Yum yum yum!

Heart attack waiting to happen, but oh so delicious. Great for late night stomach filling or the next day recovery. The extra grease/sauce on top will cure any hangover.

Nick Tahou's is THE place for the men of Rochester to head to when they have their late night craving for their famous Garbage Plate!!! It looks like a hole in the wall, but the food keeps them coming back!

Is it 3am and you're drunk and need some grease? This is the spot. Enjoy the ambiance. Hookers, cops, drunk frat boys, hot doomers and the occasional local rock star. Mac or potato salad?

I never thought of slathering a couple of fried hot dogs with ground beef, but Nick Tahou did, and I'm glad for that. It's pretty simple food, but delicious and comforting.
