    My family and I absolutely love Dave's hot chicken. The three of us will come altogether and get two different meals to share as our go- to order. We get the Dave's mini slider meal with french fries and then an order of the Dave's not chicken cauliflower bites. For sides we've only ever tried the mac & cheese, but it was really good and we liked it a lot. We come here a lot for a quick dinner or a quick lunch in between classes and always has the spot. The restaurant itself is always very clean and never too crazy busy which is nice. I've never tried any of their top loaded shakes or their slushes, but I'd love to try them in the future as they look delicious

    My first experience at Dave's hot chicken and I was impressed! The chicken was crunchy and I ordered the mild which had flavor but wasn't too spicy. I also enjoyed all the graffiti on the walls, it's a nice vibe. The bathroom was clean too. The parking lot itself is small, especially when sharing with Layali next door. I also want to shoutout Dave and Tiffany for their kindness and excellent service!

    Pretty good chicken, cool wall art, and pretty good service. I got to try a bit of the mild spicy chicken, kale slaw, Mac and cheese, fries, HI-C orange slush and of course Dave's sauce. The chicken was delicious and very tender, by far the star of the show. The fries were very salty, and not at all spicy like I hoped. Mac and cheese with Dave's sauce was pretty good!

    Ordered the sliders (hot and extra hot), took a bite, was disappointed for a sec but smiled the second that heat crept up on me. I really like this spice blend they use, having lived in Louisiana. Also ordered the 10-piece bites (no heat), and they were delicious. The parking lot was packed, especially with the coffee shop next door, so the drive thru was much appreciated.

    Finally got to check out the new Dave's Hot Chicken location in Henrietta. We ordered Dave's #1- 2 Tenders w/fries meal with medium hotness. We also got a side of honey to add to the tenders. The tenders were super crispy and flavorful. They were a little too spicy for me- but I'll get the mild tenders next time. We went through the drive- thru- service was fast. The meals were $13/each. Not too pricey. I will def be back. Next time you're in the area- def check em out!

    Honestly really bad service. I waited 10 minutes in the drive through 30 minutes before they closed and they turned me away. DO NOT GO HERE

Mac and cheese rounded out the sides and I would order it again. We also ordered the fried chicken sandwich that needed not sauce or condiments. It's served on a delicious bun with pickles, lettuce and tomatoes. Excellent sandwich. I will definitely return for another delicious meal. Place is very clean too and the staff pleasant.

    I stopped by Just Chik'n for lunch and was impressed by the value. For about $20, I got a half…read morechicken, two sides, and a small cookie. I arrived hungry and excited to try the food, especially after hearing good things about the restaurant. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to my expectations. The black beans tasted like they came straight from a can and had virtually no flavor. The chicken was tender enough, but the only flavor I could taste was salt. In fact, it was so salty that I found myself reaching for the green sauce with almost every bite just to make it enjoyable. Without the sauces, I don't think I would have finished the meal. Be prepared to drink plenty of water afterward. On the positive side, the customer service was friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. The prices are definitely reasonable, and you get a good amount of food for your money. Overall, it's an affordable lunch option with great service and a clean environment, but the food itself could use more seasoning and flavor beyond salt. For that reason, I'm giving it 3 stars.

I also got a side of Cole always which was solid, but the cajon corn with no bacon was watered down and did not have much flavor to it The gal who took my order was very helpful though.

    Chick Magnet is definitely tied for best chicken sandwich in Rochester, in my opinion, and really…read moreit is so good. It's my top choice for a unique chicken sandwich, so it has all the other places beat in that category for sure! Add in the convenience of the Henrietta location, and I think it's now officially my favorite! The chicken is perfect, flavorful, tender, juicy. The breading and toppings are the perfect balance, not too much, but they add the right amount of crunch and flavor. I absolutely love their variety of themed sandwiches, and I enjoy their monthly specials. As a person with lots of allergies, I especially appreciate how accommodating they are. They make everything fresh and are able to modify sandwiches to accommodate allergies. They even have a statement on their online ordering platform confirming that they accommodate all allergen requests! The new Henrietta location is located where Schaller's used to be, so it is well suited to a fast casual restaurant. I love how close this new location is compared to the Penfield location, which means I'll be visiting much more often! This is a must-try! Love this place!

    Boss Fights and Bites Food Review: Sal's Birdland…read more What's good everybody--welcome back to Boss Fights and Bites, where we take on the toughest bosses and the boldest bites. Today, I pulled up to a Rochester classic--Sal's Birdland--famous for their legendary signature sauce. I grabbed the 6-piece chicken wings, and here's how they stack up on the Boss Fights and Bites scale. Flavor = Power-Ups The flavor is where Sal's goes full cheat code. The first bite gave me that crispy crunch, and then the signature sauce hit like grabbing a star in Mario--sweet, tangy, spicy, all layered together. It's bold, it's unique, and it straight-up makes the wings shine. For flavor, I'm giving this 9/10 Power-Ups. Portion Size = Extra Lives Here's where it gets tricky. Six wings? That's like starting a boss fight with only one extra life--you know you're gonna need more to finish the game. The wings were great, but the portion left me still hungry. For portion size, I gotta call it 6/10 Extra Lives. Texture / Cook Quality = Boss Hits Crispy outside, juicy inside--that's how wings are supposed to be. Every bite felt like landing a clean combo on the boss. No soggy wings, no dry meat--just cooked right. For quality, that's 9/10 Boss Hits. Overall Experience = Levels Cleared The vibe at Sal's is pure Rochester culture. The wings, the sauce, the tradition--it feels like something every local knows and every visitor has to try. It's messy, it's bold, and it's got history behind it. I'm calling it 4 out of 5 Levels Cleared. Final Score = Boss Fights and Bites Power Meter Put it all together, and I'm giving Sal's Birdland wings a solid 8.5 out of 10 on the Boss Fights and Bites Power Meter. Legendary flavor, crispy wings, unforgettable sauce--the only thing holding it back is that portion size. And that's the review right here on Boss Fights and Bites--where we mix the games with the eats. If you want wings that hit like a boss battle and a sauce that feels like a power-up, load into Sal's Birdland and see if you can clear the level. Until next time--keep grinding, keep gaming, and keep eating like a champ.

So after making a cash payment i asked for a receipt. Unfortunately Michelle didn't know how to print one.My response was," well with the cost of our bill i am sure the owner will remember us. I will call him in the morning." "No they aren't opened tomorrow", was the response. I am still trying to figure out with 3 people-$10 max per person should have been $30 NOT $97???????? Based on our previous visit I was guessing roughly maybe $40 at best~but $97? I am hoping the owner reads this and forwards a phone call my way. I know there must be some mistake.

    We stopped here for brunch a few weeks ago, with hopes that the food would be something close to…read morewhat we had experienced when we were in Istanbul years ago, and we were not disappointed. The majority of the menu is Turkish, and they are using authentic ingredients either imported from Turkey, or from the region. Our food was yummy and very reminiscent of the breakfasts we enjoyed when we were traveling. First, this place is in a strip mall and may not be easy to spot; second it's small, and despite their efforts to jazz up the interior with themed seating areas, it has a very take-out sort of vibe; and third, there are other things on the menu that I'm guessing they offer because of their proximity to RIT, but take my word for it - stick with the Turkish items and you will not be disappointed! Our order included the 'sucuklu yumurta', which is basically eggs with Turkish sausages served in it's own metal pan, plus the bagel plate, and I had the 'tray' (the name of which I cannot remember) which came with hard boiled eggs, fruit, cheese, tea, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers and a roll. It was almost exactly the breakfast we had every morning in Turkey, except the fruit we had there was fresh and here it was a kind of preserve. The portions may seem a little small, but prices are very good, and I would definitely recommend getting more things than you think you need just so you can try more and ensure you will leave satisfied. We are looking forward to going back and eating more of the menu!
