My companion's Philly Cheesesteak was steamy hot, full of melted cheese and loaded with flavorful meat and veggies. It was an impressive looking sandwich, and I'm not surprised it's her all time favorite at Charlie's. Charlie's has operated since 1969 serving hungry customers in the Rochester area. It's a casual restaurant, where you order at the counter. The menu is on the wall. It isn't too excessive, but it's a good idea to check it out on their website beforehand--especially if it's your first time. I always need more time to decide what to have. My sandwich with marinara sauce on the side was extremely well done. The meat was very moist and tasted good. Our sides, onion rings and mushrooms, also were perfectly breaded and we enjoyed it a lot. I'm sure this place doesn't need any recommendations. If you are around and hungry for some traditional and comforting food in a casual atmosphere, just check Charlie's.

This place is a fast casual restaurant that focuses on a variety of themed hot dogs, as well as garbage plates, including a famous vegan plate. The hot dog combos are all named after dog breeds. While there are tables inside, I've never seen it less than 100% full. There is also a cute patio area out front for outdoor dining. The variety of hot dogs are so creative and unique, and they are all delicious!

This place is a total dive, and I say that with nothing but love. This is the only place in…read moreRochester that you can get a "garbage plate." other places in town, sell them, but Nick's has the name trademarked, so they can't call it a "garbage plate." It's a big plate of food. You get your two proteins, macaroni salad, Home fries their chili sauce, diced onions, and if you want it, mustard. As weird as it sounds, it's amazing. My two proteins., I chose two "white hots." it is an unsmoked, uncured sausage, made with pork, beef, and veal. The three combination of the meats, give it a rich creamy, meaty texture. It also comes with French bread on the side. And of course, I had a diet Pepsi. Lol I was First here some 10 years ago. , This visit was just as good as the first. The chili sauce definitely has a kick to it, but it was well within what I like for spicy. The macaroni salad was a good quality, and it was not overdressed, the Home fries were tender, I normally don't care for yellow mustard, but it was perfect in this plate, and as I mentioned, I liked the white hots, , and the onions gave it a nice little "pop" as well. (I can't believe I'm describing the garbage plate like it's a gourmet dish or something... :). They say it's the perfect hangover cure, because the grease sops up the alcohol. Hey, it's not diet food, but as they say, "fat is flavor!" I had enough to take with me for a second meal. I also got one of their T-shirts for a souvenir. This was just a great plate of food, and I will be back the next time. I'm in town. Thanks

They serve classic all beef, grilled, hot dogs with any of the following items kosher New York City sauerkraut, freshly grilled onions and peppers, spicy pepper relish, onions, classic pickle relish, Nancy's mustard, and of course ketchup and yellow mustard. They even have veal dogs, Italian pork sausages, and chicken spiedies (grilled chicken cubes in a hotdog bun -- spiedies are an upstate NY invention). I have tried all of these options and they are all fantastic, but I am a purest and love the kosher all beef dog with grilled peppers and a touch of sauerkraut the best. You can also purchase frito-lay bags of chips and bottled/canned drinks. He uses local wieners ...tee hee....from Hofmann's franks based out of Syracuse New York. Lou notes that he thinks that "central New Yorkers prefer the grilled flavor to the classic New York city steamed or boiled hot dogs." This is why he switched to a gas powered grill in 2001. I can't agree more, I love the grill. Lou is super friendly, and he'll chat with you as he prepares your dogs. Its $2 per hot dog. One dog is a great snack, 2 dogs or 1 chicken spiedie is a great meal. I never "plan" to eat here as the hours are dependent on the wether, I usually see them while walking around the commons and can't resist.
