Moved to Rochester last October from the west coast. What are your food recs? Not talking fancy, talking somewhere I can go and get a good pizza, burger, sandwich. Your hole in the walls, your diet cheat days, the fun stuff. Bonus point for getting spicy options.
Surprised that nobody mentioned the Hots places for Garbage/Trash/Dumpster Plates yet. It's kind of the thing around here, and no Rochester experience is complete without them!
Nick Taou Hots
Empire Hots
Webster Hots
Henrietta Hots
Schallers
Fairport Hots
And like a million others!
I like to get the Cheeseburg Plate with Mac and Homefris and everything on it.
Hi and welcome to Rochester! Not sure how hole in the wall these places are per se, but I like Jeremiah's for good wings, Dibella's for good subs, and The Nutcracker Restaurant for wraps/sandwiches.
For pizza, I love Pizza Wizard for Detroit style (which was new for me in the last year) or Mr. Shoes for a more traditional style. Joe's Brooklyn has good NY style thin crust.
Calabresella's has great sub, salads (pasta, potato, etc.) and desserts. Also DiBellas's for subs.
Naan-tastic is a local Chipotle-style Indian place that I love. And for some spice, The King and I is a Thai place that can make some dishes that knock your socks off (if you convince them you can handle more than typical white guy spice).
