I've been here several times and always enjoy their sandwiches. They come up with some pretty creative menu options and I love to try them all. This place is best for take out. They only have a few small tables for dining inside. Can't beat the taste and price though.. 👌

I was recommended this place by a coworker and while I wasn’t expecting how small this place was, the food was still fantastic. I got their garbage plate and the chicken finger to side ratio worked out well. My wife got their garbage plate 585 chicken fingers and these were great. These weren’t just skinny chicken fingers with barely any meat, no these were the fattest chicken fingers I have ever seen. As stated, their building is small, so if you want to dine here, it’s more for couples and single dining. If you want a family size meal, it’s better to order takeout. But either way, I’m glad my coworker recommended me this place. Will come back.

this place is unmatched. they have amazing food that comes out with insanely delicious quality every time. i called to place an order tonight and asked if it was okay for me to pick up a couple minutes after close and they said no problem we can do that for you. their customer service is top tier, almost as good as the food!

Matt Johnson

This place is amazing! I've been eating here since they opened and I went from normal to being gluten free and there are very few things I appreciate more than being able to continue to enjoy the food I have been without sacrificing quality. The prices aren't bad, the service is good, and I love the little interior. Highly recommend literally everything on the menu. The tenders, the sandwiches, the corn, the fries, the chips, I have no idea how everything is so good!

My 1st time here as I smelled a co-worker’s food and it smelled sooooo good. They did not disappoint. The food was delicious. I got the loaded fries and man it was picture perfect and tasted so good. And because I’m a big back and will be starting my diet for the 3rd time this week I also got the Riley’s Chick and mannn! Another hit. The service was amazing food came out fast, hot and fresh. The location should be better so others can know of this wonderful food

Only reason Atmosphere isn’t a 5 is cuz this place is tiny and I’d even say more for Take-Out. HOWEVER…do not let this fool you! We have a new Favorite! OMG food is so good! With how expensive pretty much everything is now, I’d even say the price is kinda low (ex: 2 of us had meals from here twice now for under $40). Tried a Sandwich one time, DELISH! Just had the plate…HOLY COW SO GOOD! Guys that work there are very nice, too! I highly recommend this place!

This was the best chicken I have ever tasted hands down. So incredible! Ordered the finger plate and was so impressed. Every friday I get lunch for the guys at work, everyone loved it and couldn't stop saying how good it was. We were even reviewing the menu afterwards to see what we will be getting the next time. Forget any other chicken joints in town. This is the one !

My mood was down. I was depressed, and then a buddy of mine introduced me to this chicken place and afterwards I’ve changed my life. I’ve become a new man. A man whose eyes have been opened to one of the greatest chicken places in the world.

First time to order from Chick Magnet. Observation of restaurant, as I walked in it was clean and spacious with lots of tables to eat. I was greeted with a hello and the staff was friendly while taking my takeout order. The food arrived quicker than expected, and the manager noted that because the tenders I ordered were on the smaller size an extra one was added to my order at no cost. Once home the chicken tenders were delicious, the crust was crunchy and the meat was tender and warm. Even though I was told the tenders were on the smaller size, they were still pretty large. I believe these were the best chicken tenders I’ve had in Rochester. As for sides, ordered a Nest and a Loaded Nest which is a potato cut into curls and fried. The loaded nest came with cheese sauce, bacon, sour cream, and chives. All were delicious and you get quite a bit for an order at a great price. I will definitely be eating here again.

Make sure you come hungry cause this place left me wanting more after only 3 bites. I never leave reviews, but this place is awesome, I got the Magnet sandwich and it was like a chick Fil A sandwich dialed up to 11, these guys have it figured out in a great way. The atmosphere inside is lacking, it’s pretty divey, I mean the bathroom right when you walk in being wide open is kinda bad, but the outdoor seating is nice and trust me…after you eat you wont even care. Sandwich was like a 9.7/10, price was also fair $10.50 for a stellar sandwich, will 1,000% be going back.

I checked this place out because it had so many great reviews. I got the chicken sandwich level 2 hot, and it was pretty good. I liked how they used toast instead of plain old buns. It added to the texture and flavor. It was the perfect temperature and it was a good size. I would recommend for anyone that wants a better than average chicken sandwich.

Luis Pena

By far best chicken sandwich ive had so far. I ordered the magnet. Chicken was flavored great and very crispy, the sauce was really good and the texas toast as well. Just a great delicious chicken sandwich. Also ordered the nest which is some potato chips

Caroline McClendon

The food here was great! My daughter and I stopped in their for a quick bite and we were amazed! The staff was great as well. The guy who took our order answered my many questions and helped us make a decision on what to order. I will certainly come back to this place...especially this location in Penfield.

Aaron Hilfiker

Work had ordered from here so don't have review on service or atmosphere but food is delicious and good size id definitely eat here again! I had the smokey chick with side fries

Stopped in for takeout. I had a hankering for fried chicken... And this place did not disappoint! The chicken was thick and juicy, and was also extra crispy. There are a bunch of different sandwich options, and I had a tough time choosing one. I ended up going with the Millsy, and I had to try some plain fingers for completion. Delicious!

Jack Forrest

Solid experience. Chicken breast is thick and juicy. Bread did crumble/fall apart some after a few bites. Nonetheless, the flavors from the bacon and buttered bread, combined nicely with the chicken. Fries were also really good. Would revisit.

David Dais

Just had lunch here today and it was good. I had the finger plate and my friend had the chicken sandwich and the loaded fries. I wish I had gotten that one instead lol. The finger plate wasn’t bad, but I am not a fan of fries unless it is sweet potato fries and wasn’t paying attention when I ordered. Overall, it was a lot on the plate and the price was pretty reasonable. I would come back again and maybe try a chicken sandwich. The mac and cheese tasted great.

Dustin Staires

I'm a foodie and a hard critic when it comes to eating out. The service here was outstanding!, the prices are definitely fair, they have some seating, it's a cozy little spot, and the food is crazy good! I got The Magnet Chicken Sandwich with Bacon and Cheddar Cheese added to it and this was one of the best if not the best Fried Chicken Sandwich I've ever had! The ingredients are all fresh and premium. There are no excuses to go to another place for a Chicken Sandwich around here.

Michael Ricigliano

It’s the best chicken I have ever had. The service is great. The food is hot and always made to order. The owner is always here working. It’s one of those hole-in-the l-wall places that just makes great food. If you are in the area, I highly recommend you stop by. A couple can share the chicken fingers, they are huge. Try the meat hot sauce. It’s incredible.

Chaz Hendrick

I normally don't like an oversized chicken breast on bread, mainly because sometimes it's just too much chicken or causes the sandwich to fall apart but The sandwiches were good. The same price somewhere else I can get a side so value is iffy. If they cut the breast down in half or pounded them, added a side id probably put five star. The building itself is small and could use a touch up but really I'm there for the food. Service was fine. Everyone was Nice and on top of everything. Order came through without mistakes.

Herbert Wolfe

This little place is a hidden gem. I tried it today and had a new respect for fried chicken. This is not your average chicken place. You have to try to understand the difference. Well prepared and delicious. I highly recommend anyone to try it.

All around, take it home and enjoy it. Best mac & cheese anywhere. The chicken sandwiches are fantastic but once they get busy, they are slow. Order ahead of time on the app and pick up later is your best bet. Parking is abundant, but getting in and out of that busy road is extremely dangerous and difficult, but the food is very good and that’s all it matters. Employees work really hard and they’re great.

Really good chicken. Cooked perfect, let it cool a little first, the roof of my mouth will tell ya that. Super juicy and crispy. The fried bread is a nice touch. Big piece of chicken, it'll fill ya up. Price is very fair. Staff is top notch. My only gripe, don't eat in your car. I've noticed a few reviews about the sandwich falling apart. It had a tendency to do just that. The bread had trouble holding up to the juice and sauces. The chicken held together but the breading had some minor failures. I'll definitely be back!

Michael M

I haven't been in a while. I've been craving one of their sandwiches. So I stopped in today. Their portion sizes have decreased, and so has the taste. the person that put this sandwich together didn't seem to care in the least. it was all falling apart. There's barely any sauce. big, miss on this one, big miss.
