Price, flavor, sauce; they're unmatched in my experience. Dicky's is one of those hidden gems you wish you knew about. Hidden deep in the kitchen of the Thirsty Turtle sports bar is some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. The breading is crisp even after driving all the way back to the city from Victor. Their sauces are immaculate especially the mango habanero sauce. If you miss Papa John's the garlic parm sauce will give you your sauce fix. The chicken pieces is large and surprisingly affordable for what you get considering. We'll worth the trip whether your 5 or 50 minutes away.

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!

Nice employees right up front, ordered a Nashville hot chicken sandwich on Texas toast (brioche available) comes with pickles and their house sauce on it, and an order of 6 wings figuring The sandwich might not be enough... boy was I wrong. Sandwich was big by any standard any other day it would have been 2 helpings for me but I had been fasting for bloodwork so was able to handle the whole thing, the wings were going to be another matter they were also on the large side but was able to eat 2 before I gave up. Have to say both items were top notch and if you read my reviews you know I'm what my crew calls "picky" about my food... they have multiple sides including mac&cheese and multiple variations of fries. If you haven't been here and are in the mood for chicken you should give them a try, and don't worry if your eyes are bigger than you stomach like mine were the leftovers heat up just fine in the toaster oven.

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.

But yesterday, the order we got was just beyond disappointing. I kid you not, these sad things they called "tenders" were basically the size of McDonald's nuggets. What used to make them great was the ratio of meat to breading - the breading was an accent, not the main event. Now it's basically half and half. A chewy unpleasant mess. I could continue this rant of sadness, but I will instead wrap up by saying, I can't see myself ordering from there again unless they return to how they used to be. Seriously, it was just gross.

The mac and cheese was okay, though I've certainly had better. This was barely warm and I think the cheese sauce came out of a squeeze packet. The chicken was hot when I got it. The flavor was ok. Not bad, not great, but acceptable. Now for the service. The staff were pretty short with everyone. Not quite rude, but not really approachable either. Overall, the food was so-so, but I felt a bit uncomfortable there.

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.
