I ordered a garbage plate, it exceeded my expectations! First, it was heavy. There's a big portion of macaroni salad, not dry like the other restaurants. There is a huge serving of delicious home fries. The two cheeseburgers are BIG. I ordered no sauce and the order was correct. Priced the same as other places, I definitely will order again!

First time I went here i got the chicken Philly and was disappointed. Wasn't bad. But didn't rock my world. But I'm giving it 5 star because I got the steak sub. And my World. Is. ROCKED MAN!!! Despite what the menu says it's not a Philly cheesesteak. Breads not traditional Philly bread, no wiz, etc. But with the option of either boss or country sweet (i chose boss), high quality ingredients, and care in making the sub with a good ratios and care, you will get a delicious "Rochester" cheese steak sub. The boss sauce puts it over the edge.

I went on DoorDash and typed in Steak subs. I looked around and this was like one of the few places that offered the country sweet sauce as an option. Never heard of it, idk where it is. The price was decent. When it came to my doorstep I’m like this is kinda small for a large. Bro when I tasted that sub, the size didn’t even matter. That sub was sooooo good. I had an instant foodgasm. I think my toes curled a little.

Had a plate here last night. 2nd one I’ve had from them and they are amazing. Very well done. My first and all time favorite was Marks, right across the street, but I feel they have slipped over the last few years as have other big names in the area. Great plates are becoming harder to find in rochester. Do yourself a favor and get one of these. I’ll be back.

I don't come here that often but every time I have the service has been fast, excellent and they easily have one of the best plates in Rochester. Kind of a best-kept-secret...never as crowded as many of the other places in the area. Highly recommend.

Best kept secret in Rochester quick bites. High quality bread, creamy mac salad, huge portion-- it's a dark horse for best garbage plate in Rochester. Go there.

This place has what I believe to be the best garbage plate in the South Wedge area and possibly Rochester! I ordered the classic cheeseburger plate with mac salad and home fries onions mustard and ketchup. You will first noticed the weight of the plate! Its hefty. If you have to walk home then you may want to use your strong arm. The plate is authentic in thats its the first plate that allows you to mix the beautiful and thick mac salad or have it separate from the meat and potatoes. The only form of segregation that ok in my book. Apart from the separate but very generous portions, you may also notice the alluring red hue of sludge over two thick juicy cheeseburgers. That would be its superiorly spicy meat sauce! I love the meat sauce here! Its got a kick that many hots locales lack. Its welcoming. The plentiful potatoes that are completely buried under the zesy madness are encapsulated and has managed to maintain a hot and CRISPY bite. With all of this they even manage to give you toasted bread that is unlike any other bread around. Dont skip on south wedge! Its a small place with great taste!

Great food but Hey - can you guys not cancel a delivery order an hour after it's made just because you don't feel like making food during the last hour that you're opened? Change your hours of operation if you don't want people ordering food during then. Mkay.

Ordered through uber eats. Large cheesesteak and it comes with a free drink, but when I got there the woman said I had to pay for the drink and told me it wasn’t included even though it said so on the app. Never had this problem anywhere else and I order through apps often. Not a huge deal but still not right. Don’t know if I’ll be coming back, and their “cheesesteak” is not even a real cheesesteak, Anyone who’s been to Philly knows what I’m talking about.

Apparently now that I read the reviews next time I'll try a sub if I ever go back. The plate I had was pretty bad and lacking any flavor. Terrible Mac salad, burgers, and home fries, stick to marks if you're on the fence.

Owners are rude. They dont have togo menus and aggresively told me to take a picture of the menu on the wall. They rudely told me to wait outside for the food i can not stay in the building. Food was over priced and small portions. Looks like they have raised prices more since then. I wanted to like this place because other people have recommended it but i just cant justify my experience.

Been a customer here over 15 years they started on Portland avenue and branched off to Monroe. My family rented a home from them for 5 years so I know these ppl quite well (I thought). They use to be a great place to eat but now the customer service has gotten bad. They just want our money they don’t care about us. I went in at 1:30 am to order a burger at that time of night they only let 2 people in the door and the rest have to wait outside. I placed my order and did tell her I wanted banana peppers but I then changed and told her I wanted bell peppers she said ok. I stood in there waiting on my food and my friend because she wanted to order but I didn’t know what to put on her sub. So my friend walked in the lady then said “I’m not taking her order she gotta go outside” the guy then threw my burger on the counter I opened it and saw that it had banana pepper and not bell pepper so I told her “well can you jus take my friend order since you messed mine up” her husband began to yell at me like I said something wrong and then the wife began to be nasty which all they had to say was “no” . So I said “can you at least fix my order” they rufused to do so atp I ask for money back. I’ll never come here again nor will I tell all friends about this place anymore. You want our money but don’t really care about us. without us (the people, the customers) you wouldn’t have anything. As much people as I recommended to this place over the years i would never recommend another.

I came here recently with my boyfriend around 2:00 am. We walked up to the counter to order ours subs to be told they are not making subs anymore. We were confused because they don’t close until 3:00 am. We’ve ordered food from here before and have had no problems. We’re regulars. I’m giving them a one star because of this. It sucks because their food is really good but you need to specify to your customers if you’re going to stop making food at a certain time so that time is not wasted going there, waiting in line, only to be disappointed that you’re not making what we wanted.
