It really doesn't get any better than this for takeout. As I slowly make my way through their entire menu, I haven't come across a single item that I thought was less than stellar. The Loaded Nest is just ridiculously good comfort/finger food. The sandwiches are all absolutely top notch, and well priced for the size and quality. Super friendly and efficient staff. Always polite and upbeat. I wish they had fountain drinks with ice. I dislike the sorta/kinda cold bottles and cans in the fridge. read more

Everything about this place, from the food and service to the ambiance of the restaurant, deserves a 10/10. I just recently started going there because my friend showed it to me and I instantly fell in love with it. The food is something I've never tasted before. No matter what, the bite you take will be bursting with flavor. You'll be going home full and happy read more

Awesome food best fried tofu and fried chicken around! Always my go to. Love their loaded nest too.

Hands down the best hot chicken in Rochester. Probably top among many places.Even more Nashville than Nashville. Saying this because I am a hot chicken enthusiast and I've lived in Nashville for a decade. I hope this business will last forever. read more

Great sandwiches and the best salads. Great sides, creative. Very reasonable priced. The chicken and waffles with berry compote is just excellent. The chicken version of the Rochester garbage plate is s serious meal for the seriously hungry. read more

AWESOME FOOD. No complaints ever!!! To anyone going to Popeyes you're insane if u don't switch to this restaurant. Waaaaaaay better than Popeyes! read more

Very good tasty price is good I just don't like it on bread I'd like roll instead but what ever

Outstanding Chicken sandwich and friendly staff. Nashville Chicken tenders plentiful enough that you need to take some home read more

I had a vegetarian "chick mi" sandwich. They can make any sandwich vegetarian by using fried tofu instead. It was delicious. I wish I knew they had this option before. The others in my group also liked their chicken sandwiches. I am already thinking about going again. read more

I got the Buffalo chicken sandwich with Buffalo sauce, blue cheese dressing, and pickled celery. It was SO GOOD. 10/10 recommend this place for the sandwiches. They have a bunch of different variations of the fried chicken sandwiches, and even a vegan option! They have chicken tenders and some side that I will definitely be back to try! read more

Expensive, very friendly, but the chicken was very dry. Small location, but cozy. Biggest problem is that the chicken was just not as good as a fast food chicken sandwhich, which is really not good enough for the price. read more

Delicious chicken, I have yet to be disappointed after a few visits! Highly recommend the loaded nest as a side and the Nashville tenders, nice and spicy! read more

See all

So so funny! The chicken is absolutely delicious, and that says a lot coming from me, as I'm pretty particular the owners and employees are so incredibly nice which just makes it the whole package! read more

Crispy and light batter. Not too salty. Juicy and tender chicken. What else would you ask for in a fried chicken? Both adults and kids enjoyed it. read more

I've been here twice on my way back home from visiting lollypop farms. Probably the best fried chicken sandwich I've ever had. Very crispy and juicy. The Texas toast bread is also a nice touch over the usual brioche bun. The chicken and waffle dish with the bacon jam is very good. read more

We were in the area and wanted to get take out for our family. Great choice. First of all, the aroma is intoxicating while waiting for your order. Everybody LOVED their food and the pieces of chicken our grandchildren ordered were so huge they had leftovers. Comfort food at its best! read more

Okay, that was the best chicken sandwich I've ever! We got the Buffalo Chick and the Smokey Chick and I can't decide which one was better! Bonus points for the friendliness of the staff and quickness of the service. We'll definitely be back. read more

HOME RUN!! Makes Chick Fil-a seem like prison food. Nothing like it in Rochester.....best food ever.

I'm a regular customer. It's my go-to place on a busy week night. The staff is amazing! They are always going above and beyond. I get the buffalo chick and the loaded nest every time. So good! read more

Tasty crispy fried chicken. I enjoyed a salad that made me feel better about consuming the golden fried deliciousness on top. Highly recommend read more

Chicken is great but it takes time to be waited on and there's not much room to sit. Price is a bit much too.

Really great, wasn't sure if it would be soggy when we got home, but honestly a Cali Sammy and 585 fingers +Mac were great!

Best chicken sandwich and fingers around, and you're gettin good portions for the cost, which isn't bad. Their chicken sandwhich sandwiches might be 2-3 dollars more than a chain like Wendy's but it's twice as big. read more

This is a new place in Penfield and they knocked it out of the park! The best chicken sandwiches we've ever had!!! Support these guys!! read more

My favorite restaurant by far!! Generous portions and awesome food. I would definitely recommend this place !!

The food was amazing the people were amazing great friendly atmosphere ,be very cautious with the heat level you order i love heat and I could only go level 2 on there spicy chicken sandwich which was delicious and juicy read more

Great food and service. We were in town for a family wedding and decided to kill some time playing tennis /pickelball at a local park. They delivered my catering order for 20+ to a local park. I ordered 36 chicken strips and full trays of Mac n cheese and salad. The food was plentiful, hot, fresh and delicious. The sauces and dressings were really tasty. It was a crowd pleaser. the full tray of Mac n cheese feeds way more than the suggested 20 people. I would say almost double that amount of servings. The only bummer was the delivery guy left before we were able to tip him. Sorry bud, you were to quick! read more

If you love fried chicken this is your place. Each sandwich, each order made right before your eyes. Crispy crust that you certainly couldn't eat in church because of the crunch. And the chicken is Oh So Good. Fried chicken done right. read more

Great mom-n-pop restaurant. We love the chicken sandwiches as they are much better than anything chain could make. Recently, I ordered a salad and was pleasantly surprised. read more

OK, the chicken is big and tender; well fried. But their signature sauce is unremarkable and it's impossible to keep the chicken between the Texas toast slices. Maybe go with the tenders? The dine-in area is very small with NO air conditioning. So on a 90 degree day it is hotter inside than out. Tables outside in the sun. The people are friendly and helpful, but do not go there on a hot summer day!! read more

Quality food and get aesthetics. I got the 585 fingers, Matt got the chicken and waffles, Darren got the Nashville fingers read more

Glad I found this place! I enjoy the Smoky Chick but I have seen the others and they look just as good. A couple places to sit and eat but I bet they mostly do take out. I had the Mac and cheese side but it was a bit too crunchy for my taste. It's a thick piece of chicken on 2 slices of bread that you get here. I definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

This place came highly recommended and it didn't disappoint! The absolute best chicken sandwich I've ever eaten! There is NONE better!! I live 3 miles from here and I didn't know it existed until someone recommended it. I'll be back for sure and probably very soon! read more

Genuinely the best fried chicken that I've had in Rochester NY. The chicken is juicy, crisp, and flavorful. Couldn't recommend a better place than The Magnet to grab a bite. read more

This is a great new addition to the Penfield take out scene. I had the Chick Magnet sandwich, the nest (aka ribbon fries) and Cole slaw. First the sandwich-chicken that is really tasty, perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The only problem is the Texas toast; I sadly agree with other reviewers that it just doesn't hold up, turning soggy on the trip home. The Nest is a large order of ribbon fries - not too greasy, with good natural potato taste. The fries could easily serve two. The cole slaw is remarkably good - especially if you like your cole slaw on the creamy side. Next time (and there definitely will be a next time) I will forgo the sandwich and order the fingers instead so I can concentrate on that good crispy goodness. My only other complaint? To be honest, I'm not too crazy about the name - but it won't stop me from becoming a regular customer. read more

Chick Magnet has incredible customer service and the owner is a down-to-earth gentleman. First of all when you order their signature chicken breast sandwiches ask for the sauce on the side. You want to cut the sandwich in half and save the sauce for the next day. The sandwich on the grilled Texas Toast is frat boy huge. The chicken breasts are gargantuan, perfectly battered, and deep-fried without being greasy at all. My favorite sandwiches generally is a good Cuban from Hialeah in Little Havana and Banh Mi from a great place on Mt. Read. Their Chicken Mi is fantastic and a wonderful homage to the traditional Vietnamese Street Sandwich. This place is a jewel in Penfield. Worth a stop. The Nest is addictive and delicious. read more

First time writing a review, that's how good chick magnet was. Got the recommendation from Reddit and tried is last friday. Friendly team serving up food inside. My Nashville chicken tenders were incredible. My girlfriends sandwich was also incredible and held up great. 10/10 would recommend! Chick magnet FTW! read more

One of the best Chicken Sandwiches in ROC! Amazing flavors and textures. Can not wait to come back!

Sandwich was 'ok' pricey! Ate there once. Won't be going back.it's not worth the price
