Horrible! I ordered 2 meals - because there are 2 people. One of the meals was not available so they made the decision to cancel that meal but fill the other order. They did not give me an option to replace the meal or cancel the entire order. So then I am left paying for 1/2 the order and then still having to figure out what my guest was going to eat. I called - their answer was that they did their jon by canceling the one meal and refunded. It did not even cross their mind that maybe 2 meals were ordered because 2 people wanted to eat and then they were rude when I called. And the meal I did recieve - disgusting. The sandwhich was nothing but grease and salad dressing. When I picked it up, it spilled all over because of all the grease and dressing breaking down the bread. I had a pill of sandwhich parts that I could pick through with a fork. And the fries and tots were luke warm at best and tasted like they were freezer burned. read more

This was not a good experience. So many things went wrong. I ordered my takeout meal no onion, it came with onions. I order beef, it was chicken. The mac salad was terrible and was crying for salt and more flavor. It was the blandest mac I have ever head. The french fries were over cooked nearly burnt. This was such a disappointing meal. read more

First timer at this spot, as I had a $50 gift card to use up. We ordered quite a bit of food on a Saturday night around 5pm but everything was ready to go in 15 mins. My sister and I ordered the Mediterranean salad with chicken and Buffalo chicken finger salad. Both were very good and filling but my ONLY complaint was that they used iceberg lettuce instead of romaine. They would have been so much more satisfying if they opted for the nicer lettuce. The chicken on the Mediterranean salad was super flavorful and juicy, we both loved it. We also ordered a side of fries and Mac salad. Fries were perfectly crispy and Mac salad had tons of flavor but needed a little more mayo. The girl at the counter was very friendly too. I would definitely come back and try other things! read more

The owner is a scammer if you try to get a refund he will tell you go thru chow now their 3rd party carrier which is not true they can issue a refund right there just giving me the run around ultimately I had to go press him for the money back not a good look read more

Sorry to say, the hamburger I got at the dinner hour tasted like it had sat on the grill all day. Probably won't go back.

Tried their fish fry and was impressed. Great size fish, excellent breading, fried perfectly. The fish was a 10/10, didnt love the sides but they weren't bad. I thought their mac salad was lacking flavor. The beans were good. Home fries were decent, nothing exceptional and onion rings were tasty but you didn't get very many. You get two sides with the fish fry dinner, they were normal size sides except for the onion rings which were also a 75 cents up charge. Would definitely get this fish fry again read more

I have had a few garbage plates around the city and this is definitely one of the better ones. Meats were all cooked well, the meat sauce was solid, and the order was put together fairly quickly. Their standard plate comes with home fries instead of french fries, which I thought was odd. They were not great either, so I would suggest their tots or fries instead. Mac salad was also kind of watery and bland. With that said, it was still a solid plate and worth it if you are craving one without having to go into the city from Churchville/Chili area. read more

Chili Hots - Plate with red hot and cheeseburger - Hot Dogs Near Me - Rochester, New York

Stale burger rolls along with soggy patties, and there version of mac salad is apparently elbow noodles with a little mayo and nothing else.

Worst plate I've ever had. Mac salad was bland and just not enjoyable. Would not recommend.

This place was great! Friendly staff and fast service. The food was fantastic! We got some of the "plates" read as "garbage plate" and weren't disappointed. read more

Chili Hots - Plate with white hots! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Rochester, New York

There are a lot of pretty girls in Chili. I call them "Chili Hots." They have a restaurant named after them. It's called "Applebees." In all seriousness, this is yet another Rochester-area "Garbage Plate" spot, which also has red hots and white hots (different types of hot dogs) made by Zwiegle's (the most popular local Rochester dog-maker. Woof). Open extremely late, just like my mother. I skip the Garbage Plates these days (way too unhealthy), but if you're grabbing Black Raspberry Ice Cream across the street (from the 24-hour Byrne Dairy), and you fancy a dog, come over here for a White Hot. They're pretty good. Not my fave in the area, but a solid 4 out of 5 hot dog with mustard, onions and the delicious meat sauce. Speaking of meat sauce, are you busy later? read more

I ordered the cheeseburger plate and it just wasn't good. First, no cheese. Not a big deal but the flavors just were missing. No seasoning on anything. read more

Trying to get a Fish Fry and every place was out of fish or closed. Chili Hots had it and the fish was very good. It came with two sides as well as the typical lemon and tartar sauce. I got the hash browns and onion rings. Hash browns were good and the onion rings also tasted good but wish I had gotten more. Especially with it being a small upcharge. Overall a good experience! read more

Chili Hots - Cheeseburger Mac and fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Rochester, New York

Moved out of the area about 15 years ago, so it's only about once every 2-3 years I get to have one of these. It may just because it's been so long, but the cheeseburger plate tasted amazing to me! Never had been to this location, as when I was a kid I was usually an Empire Hots kinda guy, however the sauce was that meaty, greasy, spicy flavor that I can't get anywhere else in the country! Deliciously griddled low-grade meat, I can't help but give it a five star because it tasted so good! read more

this place has the best food and their close to my house. I went and got a cheeseburger plate with a strawberry shake and mozzarella sticks and everything went great togethe! to anybody leaving bad reviews you either have bad taste or you brought and attitude when you went into this place. chill people, chill spot and great food 10/10 from me! I will be going here again to try some more of their food. read more

On my second visit I got a cheeseburger plate. Tator tots and Mac salad. The tots were cooked crispy like I asked. The Mac salad was really good fresh and plentiful. The only trouble I have is I like my Burgers med rare and requested them that way but there always well done. Too done for my liking. I always ask for extra heavy meat hot sauce. They haven't figured that out either. Glad I asked for extra because I would have gotten a thimble full otherwise lol read more

Very underwhelmed by the Cheeseburger Plate I got from here. The hot sauce was scarce (but extremely spicy; too spicy). The potatoes were undercooked and had a bit too much seasoning salt on them and the Mac salad was pretty flavorless. Add in one slice of white bread and this choice was a big mistake. read more

Chili Hots - a man sitting at a table with food - Hot Dogs Near Me - Rochester, New York

Put on hold 4 over 5 min... we were close by that time.. so we went in 2 order... the place was empty... NO HEAT... it was so cold for me and my daughter... very lousy service 2... where's the owner.. he obviously doesn't Train his employees... makes me feel the owner cuts corners in other areas... read more

A quick stop during a visit into Rochester got me and a couple friends in Chili Hots for a quick dinner. Fast service, friendly help. Got Chili Hot's version of the garbage plate, with white hots, the great sauce, mustard, onions, home fries and mac salad. Filling, cheap for the amount of food I received, and my stomach didn't hate me afterwards. In my opinion, it's a winner! read more

I would rate them as adequate but nothing special. I ordered two hot dogs with mustard and hot sauce but got onions and mustard. Hot dogs were over cooked and a bit dried out. I don't mean dark over cooked, but been hanging around too long. Mistakes were because they were busy, I was the only one there. Prices are moderate to a little high for what you get. read more

All of the food is very good. Hard to choose what you want. Best hot sauce I've ever had. The fries are golden and outstanding when salted.

Favorite plate place in all of Rochester! They know how to make a great meat hot sauce. I have never been disappointed when ordering from chili hots. My go to is the cheeseburger plate with Mac salad and curly fries! I would recommend chili hots to anyone looking for a great plate or any sort of burger/wrap. Their portions are huge and their prices are reasonably low. Favorite takeout place hands down. read more

We ordered the Red Hot plate and it was Amazing. It was enough for 2 meals and smelled so great.

I have been driving past this place for two years now, but never stopped in. I'm glad I finally did! I'm on my way to California, so I figured this was my last chance. I've always been a fan of Dogtown, and I wish I had known this place is just as good, because it's a lot closer to where I live! I ordered a half plate with fries (no Mac salad for me), white hot, meat sauce, and cooked onions. When I originally asked about onions, I was told they were raw, but the man working told me they could cook them for me if I preferred. How nice! I got the cooked onions & they were delicious. The perfect addition to the plate. I didn't ask when I was there, but I added cheese to mine at home (I'm sure they would have done it for me). It was incredibly filling & par for the course in terms of price. I would go again if I'm ever back in the area! The staff was friendly & efficient, can't complain! They also offer a lot of other foods than just garbage plates. They have wraps, sandwiches, some Mediterranean food, and lots of kids options too. Check it out! read more

Chili Hots - Half plate with fries, white hots, meat sauce, cooked onions & mozz cheese (I added myself) - Hot Dogs Near Me - Rochester, New York

If you're looking for a good garbage plate on the west side, this is the place to go. I don't get garbage plates a lot, but when I do, I go to chili hots. As a Rochester native, I've had my share of plates from other places and this place serves the plates that are the standard by which I judge all others. The burgers and hots are always done just right. The sides have always been tasty. The mac salad is just like home made. And the hot sauce....oh the hot sauce. The hot meat sauce is the best part. Please do not get a plate without it. read more

I have been getting food here for years, and it has never failed me. They don't seem like it, but this establishment has a decent variety of foods to choose from, all of which are fantastic. Oh, and the Mac salad is to die for. read more

When they say the best in the West, they are not kidding. Hot sauce is amazing. They have many items to choose from, but their plates are better than Tahoues. Consider yourself lucky if you arrive on when Justin and crew are working, they are the best anywhere. read more

Cheeseburger plate= mediocre at best. Home fires taste like they haven't changed their oil in ages, burgers are small, hot sauce is worst in Rochester, tastes like hot dogs and they don't use enough unless you pay for extra...which it is not worth. Macaroni salad doesn't have any flavor. Girl at the front counter wasn't that nice either. Overall wouldn't get it again. This isn't the first time it's been this bad. Lesson learned, choose a different place for a garbage plate. read more

Been there twice. The first time they screwed up my order and the second time it was really low quality food. They have a really friendly staff which is a plus but the subpar food really kills it for me. Would not eat here again. read more

Been here a number of times and while I haven't tried more than a few things on their menu (I tend to just stick with my favorites) the things I have tried are pretty good... about average for this type of place. My only complaint so far on the quality of the food is that their mac-salad is a bit bland. Their prices are pretty decent and they have a number of different specials throughout the week. They tend to be a bit slow if there are more than a couple in there at a time and I've only ever seen one person working in the back at any given time... so obviously if one person is doing all or the majority of the kitchen work then you should expect to have to wait a bit longer if there a more than a few customers there. If you are ordering your food to go, I would recommend checking your order when you get it before you leave. We have gotten our order to go on three different occasions and all three times we got home to find that they had messed up the order (leaving things out, giving us the wrong stuff, etc.). If you're staying there and eating then sometimes it can be a bit loud... though this is usually the fault of rude obnoxious customers who feel the need to use their "outside voice" to have a conversation with the person sitting right next to them. Part of the noise also comes from the fact that they will sometimes leave the door open so your stuck listening to the stereo of every jerk that drives by or is waiting for the traffic light near the plaza with their car stereo blasted... often times you're stuck listening to that even if they do close the door. So if you're looking for someplace to have a reasonable amount of peace and quiet while you eat your meal, this is unfortunately not the place to go. read more

oh my fucking park bench chili hots is so good i had a cheeseburger plate with mac and home fries with hot sauce and omg i ate it so fast it was amazing the burgers are good and so is the pepsi the workers are mad chill i recommend it for the children too so take the family out for a casual dinner its very fancy inside you should probably dress nice (jacket, dress, tux, etc...) i think jesus made my garbage plate read more

Great for a late night garbage plate. I haven't had a bad one yet, it's just not something I would eat all the time. It's greasy and definitely not good for you. read more
