2007-03-16 03:57:04   I've been going to Mark's for years and always loved it. I should have posted something positive here before. Tonight I had my car towed from their parking lot while I was eating inside. I didn't get any help from the staff inside. "tought luck" seems to be the theme as they don't even know the name of their own towing company. I'm not sure what to think, the food is great but I wouldn't recomend the parking lot. —ColinMerna

There's a lot behind the Country Sweet, and a lot behind the laundry, but neither of those are Mark's lots or designated as such. Finding parking around Marks late saturday night / early sunday morning is hard. My fave meal at Marks is sorta a custom Garbage Plate workaround. I order the Sky Burger with mac salad instead of fries with a side of hot sauce. You get everything you'd get on cheeseburger over all mac plate, but on a roll with mayo tomatoes and lettuce. I think it's actually a bit cheaper too. —MartyBoyden

2007-04-05 17:48:17   The MacSalad really makes the Plate here one of Rochester's finest. —KumikoTanaka

2008-03-30 14:47:29   Nothing fancy, just good, cheap food. What else can I say? —SaraChristine

2008-05-15 03:01:05   There is indeed a parking lot behind Mark's. It's even paved now! Wacky. I don't think their towing service is all that good, but I think they got some complaints because I've actually been asked which car is mine while dining there lately, presumably to keep it from disappearing while I ate my meal. —PatrickHarris

2008-05-18 17:14:23   Pretty good version of the garbage plate - served with crinkle cut french fries rather than homefries. I do not care for any hot sauce on it so I can't give a comment about it. —MVPujols

2008-05-19 11:42:38   Ok diner fare, but the place needs a major remodel or hosing down. Great for late night food at 2 or 3 AM. —MrRochester

2008-08-27 16:30:43   The quintessential late night eatery as far as i'm concerned. I always opt for the cheeseburger special. The price has barely gone up at all on it since I started going there over 10 years ago. Even when this place is packed to the ceiling, the service is lightning fast. I can't say much for the company there on a weekend night, but the food is by far the best diner food around. —AlexD1234

2009-01-06 19:57:16   Decent food at low prices, but don't go there on a weeknight for dinner! I've gone there on weekends during the late-night rush, but never for dinner on a weeknight. What a mistake! There were a bunch of sketchy people with extremely poor hygiene (smelling of poop and cigarettes, I kid you not!!!) and rude table-side manners. One man kept hacking up phlegm very loudly which made everyone at my table gag. Don't get me wrong, I go to diners all the time and never expect a fancy atmosphere, but this was just a disgusting experience. Stick to Mark's for breakfast or post-drinking fare, but avoid at dinner time! —TrishHeckmann

2009-01-26 13:41:23   My friend was in the hospital hooked up to an IV for 4 days after he ordered a hot dog garbage plate. Enough said? I used to go there for their grilled cheeseburger and fries, which was good but since I've grown up and stopped getting wasted during the week and hanging out in the city I've seemed to not ever go there ever again. —PersonFace
