Famous for their garbage plates which contain a huge variety of food covering a plate, for example delicious mac salad, potato salad, 2 boiled hot dogs with hot sauce. Many people cannot live without a trip to Nick's when they are in Rochester. It's a fun place and even a celebrity or two have been spotted here.

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.

I've been going there time and time again. I have also been getting to know the staff and have found them very friendly. This is a place you have to check out at least once to try a garbage plate. Its not extremely clean but not dirty. Plates cost $5 on special days when there is a fundraiser so ask the staff about possible upcoming fundraisers. Its a Rochester landmark. go. And go soon because they close at 8pm. Also they do not deliver and there is no need to order ahead for takeout. The place has lots of character. Pros: The Infamous and Delicous authentic garbage plate Cons: Closes at 8pm

I couldnt live without my Nick Tahous garbage plates! they even have a few choices for vegetarians which is always nice for me. Most places dont offer a plate I can eat. The mac salad there is the best I have ever had. And for those late nights out there is nothing like going to Nick Tahous after being at the club.

I have a lot of memories of this place. We went there 4 nights a week back in the 80's. A woman of the evening stole my wallet there one time. I was there when a food fight broke out, The place was packed with drunken white kids at 3 AM and it was a blast. They used to have guys sitting in chairs peeling potatoes for the home fries. The guys at the counter would move to the next person if you didn't order properly, like the soup guy from Seinfeld. I love Nick's and will always remember it. Pros: The one they're all judged by Cons: Can't eat off the floor
