Welcome Alan! Lived in Rochester '81 to '85, some great years there and lost track of the number of garbage plates of various types I had a Nick Tahou's in the old railroad station.

There is NO substitute for a Nick Tahou Main Street location original Hots or Cheeseburger or other GP,...NONE!

What made it even better in those early years was that Nick was still alive and he would walk around seemingly 24 hours a day and talk with everybody and tell the WORST jokes you ever heard but we loved it!

Nick's favorite repeat joke..."What did Santa Claus eat? HO HOs!!!", guess ya had to be there as the old saying goes.

Lots of late night pre-hangover and early morning post-hangover cures were consumed there. We would also just go in for lunch or dinner some days, as it was a great old place, lots of food and fun for very little money.

Other mainstays:

Captain Tony's Pizza..particularly the White Clam Pizza

Sal's Birdland

Country Sweet Chicken & Ribs

(Including the off-menu favorite "Death Birds")

Smitty's Ribs and Chicken
(And the sign on the wall with a toothless old man..."you all don't need no teeth to eat this here smoked meat!")

Elmwood Inn

Great memories of a great town!
