came here for the true rochester experience, and i was not disappointed. it’s hard to take a photo of a garbage plate and make it look great, but boy was it good. if i had come in 20 minutes later i would have struggle to find a spot to sit. it was fun to eat and see the place fill up with locals coming for lunch. i would definitely come back.
I’m from out of town and came here to experience Rochester food culture in the form of Zweigle’s red and white hot dogs. My expectations were surpassed by both the quality of the food and the friendly service. On my third visit (in a row!), I decided to forgo the gluten-free bun and was delighted to find the hot dogs were butterflied and plated beautifully. Everything is made to order, many of the menu items are homemade, and there are veggie, vegan, and gluten-free options. Patio seating, easy parking, and a coffeehouse next door make for an overall delightful experience. The owners are passionate about their product - and wonderful people as well - and it clearly shows.
This place is considered very local for Rochester residents. I went there with my friends and family, and we had their famous "garbage plate"! The food was good and the servers were very nice and friendly. There is plenty of sitting inside and outside so you can enjoy your time while having your meals. If you're visiting Rochester this should be on your list to visit. Give it a try, you may like it!
Great little hole in the wall place. Amazing variety of specialty hot dogs and garbage plates at reasonable prices. Serving size of garbage plate was huge, a real plate full of food. Service was quick and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great hot dog or garbage plate!
I lived in Rochester for 6 years and I can’t believe I missed this place while I was there.
Stopped here during a recent visit and was blown away. They’re allegedly one of the “Top 10 Hot Dog Joints In America,” though I have not fact-checked that and I don’t plan to. True or not, the food is incredible.
I’m particularly impressed by their commitment to having great vegetarian and vegan options. You don’t really see that at many hot dog joints.
Don’t worry, meat lovers: they have everything you could possibly want. But they also have everything non-meat lovers could possibly want from a place like this. And it’s ALL delicious, meat and non-meat alike.
It’s small. Seating and parking can be difficult if it’s busy. If it’s nice outside, the outdoor seating has a relaxing vibe.
In my experience, the staff was as friendly and accommodating as their diverse menu.
There are so many great places to get food in Rochester (probably the #1 thing I miss about living there). I’m glad I discovered this one I missed before and I’ve already recommended to others outside of this review where I recommend it to YOU.
Definitely a must try when in Rochester. Place was cozy, we came early on a Saturday. Parking available up front. Servers were friendly. Food was delicious
Always a delight at Dogtown. Eclectic menu where all the hot dog varities are named after dogs! Awesome place to get a garbage plate too. The inside is small but filled with adorable pictures of customer dogs on the walls. Best "hidden" gem in the city imo. Parking is a little cramped during the busy hours but well worth a wait or walk!
I now live in San Antonio, TX
When I come visit, I must have a plate and this is the place to go !!
If you have not been, you will not be disappointed.
I've had their hot dogs as well and I love all the options they have.
Prices are fair and they always have great staff working for them.
If you are ever in San Antonio, TX
please check out the Dogfather.
All their product is purchased locally so as to keep the money within Texas. They also have great vegetarian and vegan options but some with a texmex twist.

We came here on a Wednesday afternoon after a trip to Niagara Falls… we had 2 kids, 3 adults and a teenager. The menu has a fantastic kids section… lots of different hot dogs… great tasting fresh ingredients, awesome bread, fries and onion rings were perfect. Nice and clean inside, lots of outdoor seating and parking. They also have an extensive vegan menu… highly recommend eating here!
Easy to order ahead, and I am thrilled that they have a decent number of vegetarian options. Pickup was quick and easy.
Food was good & ready on time. Definitely will stop here again 👍
