It's located across from the former KC Tea & Noodles, on the corner of Goodman and Monroe. Since it's a straight shot path between East & Alexander and my apartment, it's a convenient spot for me to grab some food before passing out at home. Mr. V's has a variety of offerings, ranging from hotdogs, sausages, burgers to chicken and pulled pork sandwiches. My go-to is the Italian sausage all dressed with red peppers and Rochester's meat "hot sauce." That will soak up the alcohol! Everything i've tried so far tastes delicious. But please keep in mind that this is at 2AM after a few drinks. I've truthfully never been completely sober while standing in line for Mr. V's. Sometimes it comes down to Pita Pit vs. Mr. V's and oftentimes, Mr. V's wins.

I'm vegetarian, and they also had veggie burgers and quesadillas! I was debating which to get, and got the veggie burger with cheese. It was ok, but I'm very picky about veggie burgers. If I have the chance, I will try the quesadillas next time. You also got a bag of chips and a pop along with your order. I thought it was a very cute concept, and there was an umbrella over their grill making it seem very summer-y. It's a great idea for a party or picnic, and they make something for everyone.

But what can you do, I mean, come the f*** on, we're talking about Funnel Cake here. So the only times I've tried this truck, are when it has been parked at the Rochester Public Market. I have no idea if it's usually parked there or not, so forgive me if you can't find it. Also, of the 15-ish times I've been to the market, 11 or 12 of them, it's been closed. But the one time it was open, it was hot, greasy, yummy funnel cake. In retrospect it was actually fairly average funnel cake and a bit pricy, but funnel cake is funnel cake and if you want some, this is a good place to get some.

By the time he was done eating it he was covered in powdered sugar. BTW - the also have a cinnamon sugar option. Would definitely hit this truck up again :)

A very new addition to the Public Market's growing plethora of ethnic food options. I stumbled upon…read morethe Halal Grill food cart (not truck) 2 Saturdays ago when trying to find the Wafel Cart. They were parked outside the Market office (next to the guy hawking boxes after boxes of miscellaneous things ranging from bras to peelers). Their menu was fairly limited - they had the tawook pita or the beef pita - both $5ish. I got the tawook pita - extra spicy (obviously). It was chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, cooked on a grill. Then they build the pita with lettuce, tomato, onions (tossed in tangy sumac), garlic sauce and a 'spicy' sauce. After rolling the pita, they put it on the grill to put some grill marks on the outside. I couldn't believe how good it was. So, I did all the Yelpers a favour (yeah, right.) and went back yesterday. They were in the same-ish location and were giving away samples. Most people declined (who says no to free meat?!) but not me. I tried the beef and it was good - mildly spiced and flavourful. While I was waiting, a lady wanted the beef pita but without the pita. They obliged and made her a salad of sorts without the bread. I ordered 2 tawook pitas and chatted with the 2 guys manning the grill. They mentioned they were Iraqi and just started the food cart 3 weeks ago. They hope to open a brick and mortar location eventually. My boyfriend was very lucky as I actually let him have one of the tawook pitas and he loved it as well. He described it as "flavourful and garlicky". I hope they will eventually add to their menu and open a restaurant - we could use a good Middle Eastern place in Rochester!

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.

I'm surprised there aren't more reviews. The food is fantastic. The prices ($3 for sausage with…read morepeppers and onions?!?!) are incredible, and Lou is an extremely nice guy.

I absolutely adore that on nice weather days they turn around their whole operation and allow people to wait and be served completely outside. The line moves crazy quick, so don't be discouraged if you see the line is long on your next market trip. I have been to the Park Ave location numerous times, and usually opt for black coffee for our market visits from Javas instead. I am so glad we made the choice to grab chais! I went with an iced chai, vanilla almond milk, half sweet with a shot of espresso...quite the long order. The barista accidentally forgot the shot and then they (incredibly kindly, after I brought it to their attention) added two shots in for my caffeinated pleasure! I was READY for anything :) I just love this business and think that kindness is built in to every single interaction. There are so many options to switch up your chai order, from milk to sweetness to espresso to flavors...the combos are endless. Highly recommend enjoying a chai during your next trip to the market!

I consider all the shops along this little stretch to be part of the Rochester Public Market. I'm…read morenot sure if that's accurate, but they are part of my experience with the market, and I love them all. Giordano is one of the best of the bunch, as they have all the cheese you'd ever want...and I want a lot of cheese. I want the funky bleu, the creamy brie, the sharpest cheddar you can find, the chevre, whatever you can find from a sheep, certainly including manchego, and all the olives they have in stock too. I want the cheeses with fun additions like truffles and pepper and meat and I also want the meat that hasn't been added to the cheese, because meat is good on its own too. All that said, the last time I came in I felt like I was bothering the staff there. I got curt, annoyed answers when I was curious about a cheese I wasn't familiar with, and we ended up leaving with about 25% of the amount of cheese I wanted to buy just because it's not fun to put together a cheese plate with people who aren't trying to help you. I hope it was an off day, because I'll be back again soon. After all, I have a cheese problem.

Though it was almost empty on a Thursday morning it was difficult to get to the cheese display because the only two patrons were pretty much sitting in the aisle gabbing with one of the workers. We had to squeeze around them since they weren't moving. Once at the cheese counter the smallish selection of cheeses were unmarked so we needed to quiz the burly guy manning the counter. He was gruff and almost rude in his attitude. Almost unhelpful. It is lucky we bought anything at all. If you wanted your purchase wrapped in cheese paper vs. plastic they charged another $1.75. Really? Definitely not the positive experiences we remembered from the past. Very Disappointing!
