If anyone is ever in Rochester,NY and is looking for a place to eat, try Nick's. His restaurant is famous around here for it's "garbage plate". It is a choice of meat(hots,hamburgs,etc.) atop a MOUNTAIN of food(choice of 2 of the following:beans,french fries,macaroni salad or home fries.) It's all topped off with mustard,onions and Nick's secret hot sauce. Nobody knows what the sauce is and nobody has been able to copy it, but it sure does taste good! This all looks pretty disgusting on the plate(hence the name) but it is oh-so-good! Nick Tahou's is 1 exit north of I-490 on I-390 which is Rt.31 Lyell Ave. Go west on Lyell Ave a couple hundred feet, and Nick's is on the right before the traffic light....Enjoy!!!

If you're going to lead people to Nick's, you should give them the full experience and give them directions to the original one on Main St. (near Broad St.)

Also, for the full experience, you should go to either after midnight. :-)

The original Nick Tahou's is on West Main, in an old railroad station.  Nick passed away a couple of months ago.
