    The best food in Rochester, a hallmark of my home city. The fries are a must, the bread is unreal, garbage plate is a signature, all of the hot dogs are 10/10, decor is fire, top it off w/ cream soda!

    Great for meat lovers & veg*ns alike! Veggie dogs can be subbed for any dog & vegetarian toppings are marked on menu. Special vegan burger served every Thursday. ONLY legit vegan "plate" in the Roc!

    It's a little pricy for a hole-in-the-wall and the drunken 20-somethings and affected hipster's can wear on your nerves in such TIGHT QUARTERS if you're in the wrong mindset. But, it's good 😛!

    Unusual fun place with regular, beef and veggie hot dogs with more fixings than you can imagine. PALEO option of 2 dogs on coleslaw and sweet potato fries was delicious!

    Vegan special every Thursday. This is perhaps the only place in Rochester that has a legitimate vegan "plate." Many options here. Just ask. They know vegan.

    So many great selections for food. While hot dogs are the main attraction (Pitbull is my fave) their plates are great as well.

    Best hot dog/burger/garbage plate place in Rochester, if not the world. Cool, eclectic place with a zillion hot dog choices. Great tunes and funky decor. Support your local businesses!

    Wonderful hole in the wall. Creative hot dog menu, and a tasty take on the local garbage plate.

    They make a great garbage plate; order the split garbage plate to get the best of both worlds.

    I ate myself into a coma. While I was there, an angel touched my face. I had some sauce on my cheek, he said to me. I woke up and ordered seconds.

    Great variety of dogs and a very serviceable plate, too. Pies and cookies are also tasty.

    Ezekial D's post about veggie items is blatantly false. We use separate sections of the grill for meat items. Vegetarians and vegans are an important part of our business.

    Friendly staff, best footlong hotdogs in town, cheap, and quick service. Golden retriever and garbage plates are best with their crispy seasoned home fries.

    The chairs lean back at a good angle. Not only is me belly happy with the food, but my lumbar is happy with these chairs.

    Can never go wrong with a good ole Boston Terrier. Bacon, baked beans, and meat sauce is a mean combo.
