Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries ( HOT)
Ryan H.

I had heard the hype and saw lots of folks online raving about Dave's hot chicken.. I saw this new location and thought I would try.. The staff made me experience not so good- When I walked in it took a couple of minutes to get the attention of the cashier who was talking to group of staff behind the counter ( there appeared to be more staff than customers). The restaurant was open, sunny and clean.. the door popped open and all you could smell was smoke from the parking lot.. I got the HOT chicken and it was OK, not great, but OK.. the Dave's sauce was OK- sweet, bland and I could not define what type of flavor it was.. the winner of the meal was the fries!! I'll try Dave's again- but not this location...

Cool T-Shirt saying

Went to Dave's Hot Chicken. Loved the experience. It is decorated to celebrate Irondequoit, and Rochester which I thought was super cool. The employees were very nice, they introduced themselves to us at the counter, asked us if we had been there before. When we said no, they took their time to explain their menu. It was so refreshing to see service with a smile on E. Ridge Rd. Where the employees and managers usually seem angry, with an attitude. I hope this doesn't happen to Dave's Hot Chicken. That's what ruined Moe's were the employees, and high turn over. The employees here seemed super stoked to be working here. I loved their uniforms. Their T-shirts all have cool sayings on the back. As for the Food, I ordered the loaded fries, med heat. It was really good, I couldn't eat the whole thing. I enjoyed it. But it would have been nice to either have more Kale slaw on it, because it awesome, and it seemed like there was just a tiny bit of mine. Or if it came as a side. That would have been good too. My SO ordered the #4 Chicken sandwich, with fries. Now my SO has never liked chicken sandwiches anywhere. He loved this one. He ordered it Medium heat, he said next time he might go up a level. It was nice to him enjoy it so much. He gave me a bite, and I liked his better than my loaded fries. I thought the prices were reasonable for the area, especially since they also have vegetarian options as well. The Kale slaw was a total so for me. I'm not a coleslaw person. But Kale slaw, was the bomb! We went on 2pm on a Tuesday, it was nice, not too crowded but busy enough that you know it's good. I also loved the little machines they give you that light up when your order is ready, so you can sit and enjoy your drink while you wait. I had an orange slushy. My SO wanted a Strawberry shake, but their shake machine was not working. But the experience was so nice he didn't care. Very clean, hardworking employees, you can see the kitchen, and it was spotless. I'd would be nice to see the kitchen staff in hairnets, but my cons are so small. I didn't take any stars for it. Thanks Daves's chicken for opening on E. Ridge Rd, and hiring such happy, friendly, and clean employees. They were top notch. We will be back

Chicken is tasty, not much variety. Staff isn't friendly and the place looks dirty for a new location

I tried this place out. I ended up getting what my coworkers referred to as a garbage plate. Two…read morechicken fingers on a bed of french fries and mac salad, topped with homemade meat sauce, onions, and Magnetic Sauce. It was good. A lot of food. Nothing super special to be honest. 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!

Yum! I saw a TikTok review of this restaurant so I had to try it for myself. The Peruvian chicken…read moreis delicious and very moist. The French fries too were delicious and ample. 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.
