What a great place! First time here (didn't want to cook tonight or go out). We ordered take out at 7:30pm on a Saturday evening and it was ready in less than 20 minutes. Walked in, no hassle, out the door and home to hot chicken sandwiches! Beautifully cooked chicken breast, light & flavorful batter, and great toppings. Hubby had the Magnet - he loved it and it was enough. I was worried it might be too small but I could not finish my Chick Mi (Me) sandwich on a brioche bun. Loved the flavors, especially the pickled vegetables. We also ordered the nest. The chips were good and the portion was enough for both of us to share. We will definitely be back! read more

Check magnet knows how to make good chicken! This is some of the best chicken I've had in Rochester hands down! The inside is really cute with a small seating area and a small bathroom. The staff here is super friendly and helpful with menu recommendations if you haven't been here before: I've been here a couple times now and my favorite things to order are the mac & cheese side, their monthly specials, or the Cali chick!Honestly you cannot go wrong with anything on their menu. Please come check them out if you haven't already! read more

Awesome take on the fried chicken sandwich! The Texas toast was hot and toasted perfectly. The chicken breast was large for the price and perfectly fried! I ordered The Magnet but subbed the magnetic sauce for Sriracha mayo for an extra kick. Also ordered the crispy ribbon fried potatoes, they accompanied the meal with a perfect crunch! Excited to try more from their menu! read more

First time eating Chick Magnet food. Recommended by my 14-year-old daughter who tried it over the summer as takeout and loved it. We drove 22 minutes to eat at this location. The staff were friendly and super attentive. My family enjoyed their food. Everything was made as ordered and we definitely would eat Chick Magnet again. Although, we may try the Henrietta location because it looks like the interior would be more suitable for people who want to dine in. The seating was very limited and it was a colder day. This location doesn't seem to be insulated well and we were all a little on the cold side/shivering while waiting for our food. Overall, no complaints with the food. It was delicious! read more

Stopped in on a recommendation after being in town for a track meet and we were very pleased. Crispy, golden breading with flavorful toppings and sauces are a great recipe for success. The bonuses are the thick, perfectly grilled sandwich bread and that the chicken didn't appear to be cut or pounded so each bite was packed with chicken. The tenders also impressed. Highly seasoned and very spicy, the magnetic sauce and pickles were the perfect sidekicks. read more

I recommend this place to everyone. The chick magnet signature sandwich is the way to go! It's huge, hard to take a bite but I'm not mad at it! Chicken is perfect every time and the bread is toasted in butter like a grilled cheese. My favorite is the whole spiraled potatoes. Even plain they are dynamite! It's a lot of food, you can definitely split but it's still delicious straight out of the fridge at 2am in case you can't finish it. read more

Favorite fried chicken spot in the area! I'm glad I don't live closer because I'd probably be here five times a week. I normally get one of the sandwiches but tried the finger plate with macaroni and cheese. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormones, but I was not able to stop thinking about it. Crispy, warm, comforting, good heat from the meat sauce, and I hope baby liked it too. read more

Best chicken sandwiches. Coming from someone who lived in NC for 5 years, and someone from NC (the other half of @cophiescrumbs). They really are as good as they look. The staff are very willing to answer questions about food allergies. I love the specials that they have every month, they're so unique. Looking forward to going back. -@cophiescrumbs on insta read more

The tofu sandwiches have become a go-to for our household. We're really impressed with how savory and flavorful the tofu is, and their Level 3 Spicy sandwich is not joking around. Be warned, this is not a cute healthy tofu sandwich - it's mega salty and deep fried, on buttered grilled bread, with mayo. And it's delicious. Servers are friendly and the seating area, though small, is nice. read more

The best fried chicken I have ever had. I even rang the bell they have saying it's the best I have had. The Nashville hot level 2 tenders are the perfect balance of spice and flavor. It is not too spicy to enjoy but has a pleasant kick. Perfectly fried and very tender. Extra bonus for it reheating at home well (it's a ton of food and super filling) The loaded chick was delicious and I would highly recommend. The customer service is outstanding. Does not feel like a chain or fast food at all. They have a very friendly staff and the food came out quick, hot, and fresh. I will definitely be returning. Amazing food and service read more

So grateful this place exists... I can not get enough of their GLUTEN-FREE VEGETARIAN No-Chick -Chick sandwiches, salads and fries... Just happy to eat here every chance I get!! Chick Magnet--please get the word out that you serve these mouth-watering GLUTEN-FREE meals...most of Roc and surrounding counties are not aware of this yet...your business will be even better and we want you around forever! read more

Really good sandwiches! You can get any sandwich with tofu instead of fried chicken and the tofu is battered and delicious! My husband loves fried chicken and says this is some delicious fried chicken. The restaurant is definitely more of a takeout place as there isn't much indoor or outdoor seating. We've only ever gotten takeout here so I can't comment on the ambiance or service. read more

AMAZING. I would give 10 stars if I could. This is the best fried chicken sando I've had in a LONG time. I ordered The Magnet original and the piece of chicken was huge, juicy, and perfectly crispy and breaded all around. I liked the Magnet sauce and pickles, but putting it on Texas Toast is genius and really sends the sando into all-star territory! I also got a side of mac and cheese, which was a much bigger portion than I was expecting for only $3. It was also delicious. The cheese was really smooth and had strong flavor. The loaded ribbon-cut potatoes (basically chips) were also delicious. The portion is enormous and definitely for sharing. I wish there was a little more cheese sauce, but overall it was a great side. I can't rave enough about this place and will be trying more of their sandwiches very soon! read more

Not sure why I didn't now this existed. Been back several times since. Kids love their food.

We were visiting from New Mexico in early August 2024 and discovered The Magnet Fried Chicken. Wow. We stopped by on 3 consecutive days and would have stopped on our 4th day but we were departing for Gettysburg. The chicken plates and sandwiches were so tender, moist, and delicious. We tried different meals each day, loved them all. The coleslaw was also delicious. I think it's the BEST chicken sandwiches we have ever had. We told them of they open a shop in Albuquerque, we will be there. Every person working there was very kind and friendly. They have a great team. Thank you for the delicious chicken and friendliness. Wish you continued success. Cynthia and Bob read more

I went to Chick Magnet for dinner with a friend and had a great experience. I had a chicken sandwich with bacon, cheese, and BBQ sauce. It was very good, as were the French fries. I thought that the Mac and cheese was alright. The prices were reasonable and the staff were very friendly. read more

These are the best chicken tenders I've ever had. And as a picky eater my entire life, I've had a lot of tenders. It's the food of my people. Anyhow - the tenders are perfectly cooked, juicy, big, and spicy The sandwiches are great but I think I prefer just the tenders as a meal for next time. The location is a little tricky - we're from out of town and used GPS and it was odd directions. Decent parking. Small establishment and only a few booths for eating in. Staff was awesome and explained the menu, super friendly, and food came out fast. read more

Finally managed to try this place and although kind of expensive and not as good as tulleys we enjoyed it! The chicken sandwich and chicken fingers were both excellent and hit the spot. The Mac salad was really small compared to other places. Mac and cheese was solid but best bought if eating there. Ribbon fries were fun outside a carnival and pretty good. Don't get them dresses up unless you're eating there. We also got 2 drinks, and the bill was $40. It's definitely not affordable and I think I'd rather go to Tully's and have a sit down meal for about the same. read more

Amazing little chicken shack! The food there is fantastic!! I got a chicken sandwich and it was delicious. The texas toast for a chicken sandwich is not something I had before but it was amazing! Prices are reasonable and definitely worth it. Its a small place with some indoor and outdoor TVs. Very cool vibe for a quick lunch or dinner stop. The staff was friendly and the food came out fast! Would highly recommend checking out The Magnet! read more

The best chicken sandwich! It's perfect, crispy, juicy, tasty! I wish I could eat another right now! I had the club, the Mrs had the Magnet, both were great. Excellent fries and sauce taboot! Seriously, the best chicken in the Rochester area. read more

This place was awesome! We called ahead to put our order in. We got the Riley's Chick and the Smokey Chick as well as a side of Mac n cheese. They gave us an estimated time to pick up, so we arrived around that time. Food was ready when we got there. We thought our sandwiches were great! The Texas toast was so good with the sandwich. We were both really happy with our orders and the food held up and was still crispy when we ate it. Also, you got to try the Mac n cheese!!! It was delicious, I wish I got my own personal one hahaha. read more

They call it the magnet fried chicken because it tastes like magnets. Lol, just kidding. It's called the magnet because the chicken is so good your soul is attracted to this place and begging you to get a chicken sandwich here. The Texas toast as the bread for the sandwich is nothing short of magic. Highly recommend this place to all the "chicken heads" out there. read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Great for gluten free needs and some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. Plus their house sauce was amazing!

Food was excellent!! Definitely a take out place. It was hard to find but worth the inconvenience.

When I was in college, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, my favorite sandwich was a chicken club. I had quite a few; you could say they made me the man I am today, literally. The chicken club I had here was TEN TIMES better. Perfectly prepared and fried chicken. Real chicken, prepared with care by a real person in plain sight. Amazing magnet sauce (think sweet and spicy mayo), crispy bacon (more on that later), a fat tomato slice, and lettuce on the freshest brioche bun I've ever had. Every detail of this seemingly straightforward sandwich was executed to the zenith of perfection. But wait, there's more! My lovely wife had the chicken breast (boneless) with waffles and she loved it very much. Real maple syrup, candied bacon that is going on my next chicken club fr fr (as the kids say), very decent little waffles. Even a ramekin of mixed fruit compote! Again, meticulous attention to detail and perfect execution. Jeff the chef was very kind and patiently listened to my lifetime history with chicken sandwiches with great attentiveness. The other staff were all friendly and obviously hard-working. Tips: Chicken sandwiches are a finger food, stock up on napkins. If candied bacon is available, get it. Finally, when you're done, you can ring their bell if you loved their sandwiches and other food. Ring it with more vigor than I did. Chef Jeff expects no less. read more

Quaint little shop in Penfield that serves up delicious fried chicken sandwiches and tasty sides. I had the Riley's Chick (fried chicken, sweet onion jam, banana peppers, hot honey). It was delicious but the sweet on sweet of the jam and the honey could have used an acid like picked onion instead. Spouse had the Smokey Chick, which had Smoked Gouda cheese, applewood smoked bacon, BBQ sauce, coleslaw... really good combo. It's counter service then they deliver to the table. Everything is freshly cooked. For my side I had the Mac and cheese, it had great flavor and a crispy top from going under the broiler. read more

Soooo glad we checked out this new chicken joint tonight! They are killin it! We ordered the Chick Magnet sandwich Description from their website: "Fried chicken sandwich combines a super crispy deep-fried chicken breast with a toasted New England style roll. Served with lettuce, pickle and our housemade "Magnetic Sauce"." LOVED IT! (Although by the time we got home to eat it, the sauce made the middle of the Texas toast a little soggy) And The Spicy Chick - Nashville hot with house-made pickles. (My dining companion said it wasn't very hot) A side of The Nest - Crispy ribbon fried potatoes with our house seasoning - Sooo good - a little crispy like a chip and a little soft like a fry A side of coleslaw - seriously the best cole slaw i can remember having! read more
