Best garbage plate I've ever had! Super friendly service and speedy service.

I grew up in Webster but moved away about 20 years ago. Whenever I'm in the Rochester area I try to stop back in for a plate at this favorite old haunt of mine. Many folks will say there are better plates out there and I'm sure that's true, but this place is a properly preserved piece of adolescent nostalgia and is still proper comfort food (and I imagine still proper drunk food, though I'm a bit old for that routine now). Pictured here: cheeseburger plate, "all three", loaded, extra hot sauce.

Best place for a plate in Rochester! Had been since I was in high-school. Always stop whenever I'm back in town.

Most amazing people and most amazing plates. My boyfriend and I get plates/fish fry every Friday night and the whole crew is amazing (especially the woman who takes the orders over the phone!) Shoutout to the wonderful food; never had any issues, errors or complaints. Used to get plates from a rival hots spot until their service turned poor after being so busy they kept hanging up after putting us on hold! NEVER have had any issues here no matter the time of day or night. I personally think they have the best Mac salad in roc recently. The portions are huge & consistent every week, only about 10 min wait time for pickup. Their home fries could be a little less fried occasionally (sometimes they seem like they’ve sat in oil too long, but they’re not overly crunchy) but that’s just being picky. They know us as regulars each week and the service and food keeps us coming EACH Friday even when we’re dieting, it’s our weekly cheat meal. They’re honest people with honestly good food and will forever come here and recommend to others.

Our go to once a week. Excellent hots and mac salad with a topping of their hot sauce. Everyone who works there are so friendly they make you feel like family. You can tell that other customers are enjoying their meals also, it’s a friendly atmosphere. We would highly recommend this place.

Love their plate! It's too much for me to eat so I was glad I discovered the 1/2 plate. Probably should be half the proce, but it is still a lot of food. Great for one sober person.

MUST STOP FOR FOOD! We drove from Wisconsin and stopped by to see what the garbage plates were about and these guys did not disappoint. Great service clean atmosphere and they have football games on. I will definitely come back! Must go!!!

The Best garbage plate in Rochester! It's just called the Trash Plate!
