New Name, Same Quality (Maybe Better!)
I have been a customer at this Gates location for quite a few years. Although "first name basis" seems to be a status reserved for an elite segment of their clientele, the guys behind the counter almost always know what my order will be the second I hit the door.

Yes, this restaurant is now open under a new name, but the owners have gone on record in the D&C as planning upgrades to the facility and the menu: Zweigle's hot dogs are back, and some interior remodeling is coming soon, according to the article.

Now, everyone with half a brain knows not to expect candle-lit, gourmet dining at this establishment, but there are times when nothing but a "plate" from 2260 Lyell Ave will satisfy my hunger and my taste buds. It really doesn't matter whose name is on the sign!    [12 Mar 2007 07:58:07]

Where's the Beef?
I ordered take out – a garbage plate. This was a meager disappointment. The beans were stone cold and there was no meat/hot sauce. So I zapped it and added Tabasco. I ate the dogs and tossed the rest. The writing on the box was correct but not the contents. If I go again I will check the contents before leaving.    [03 Aug 2007 15:00:41]

Rochester Grub
Nick Tahou's (now Steve T's) on Lyell Avenue is a great experience with filling greasy food. It is the place to go after a few drinks or if you are in the mood for something w/lots of calories. I always get a garbage plate w/mac salad, homefries and everything on it. I then put some red hot on top. Most of my friends like adding ketchup. No matter how you put it together, [Steve T's] is the place to go for greasy, delicious food. I went to college in MI and my friends crave [Steve T's] and come here to visit me and that is the first place we go!    [19 Dec 2007 14:07:42]

From Ohio
I have family in Rochester but every time I come up from Cleveland my order gets bigger and bigger because everyone in Ohio who knows I go there wants a Steve Tahou hot dog... Best in the world... I just left there with a $220.00 order. I love you all - Keep up the good work!    [03 Jul 2008 23:23:21]

I went to R.I.T. and I tell you, nothing helps with an all night study cram like a plate at 3 am! The service has always been magical with the staff remembering an impossible number of orders and who they belong to.

Then to the tables and that first bite. I shudder with pleasure just thinking about it! When ever I go to Rochester that is the first and last place I go!    [01 Sep 2008 07:29:56]
