Chick'n Out definitely delivered. The chicken was phenomenal.. perfectly seasoned, crispy, and fresh, exactly how it should be. The greens were decent, nothing to write home about. I tried the Uncle Nini and it wasn't really my thing, but my partner loved it. Customer service was on point, and the fact that they have a bar is a huge plus. I'll absolutely be back for the chicken alone. read more

I got "the heater". It was juicy and crunchy!! Loved the sandwich. The garlic parm show string fries are okay too. I got a honey blonde mocktail as well. I definitely recommend this business! read more

First time visiting since the dining room was completed. Ordering is quick and easy at the service counter. You are given a number and food is brought out to your table. I had some questions about the chicken when ordering and the cashier was helpful in explaining heat options. The dining room is very large and spacious. Plenty of seating including the bar. The bar has multiple large tv's; great place to catch a football game. There is also free water available and different sauce options at a self service area. I ordered the classic chicken sandwich which comes with one side. I chose Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese is seriously good; cheesy and well seasoned. The side size is huge and would be more than enough for me to share. Sandwich seasoning and quality was great. I am very happy with my choice to have lunch here and hope the business continues to have success. Quality food for a fair price. read more

It's simple: Without a doubt, the best fried chicken restaurant in Rochester. Period.

The chicken was amazing!!! I am talking juicy, filled with flavor, moist, no need for the sauce on the side but do use it if you really want. It was all delicious. My coworker had been going on about this place and I'm glad I went to try it out. It was early afternoon and the place was pretty quiet. We sat at the bar, enjoyed a drink, and waited on the food. The waiter was super nice and engaging. I would definitely recommend this spot if you're craving some good fried chicken. Oh I had the chicken and waffles and the 12 piece wings read more

Needed a place that had tenders as we have tried quite a few and none were that memorable. The food was great here. Fresh and hot. This is our number one place now and sooooo much better than that chicken chain that invaded Rochester. read more

Not good. 1st and last time there! Wasted 28$ for nothing! The fries were almost like shoestring fries. The coleslaw was in tiny containers! For price I paid it's not worth it! The fish was over cooked and dry! I almost choked on this dry fish! read more

The sides were good, but the chicken was total garbage. Extremely salty like outrageously salty for no reason. The extra crispy option comes out really bad. It ruins the flakyness and burns the batter. Should not be an option on the menu if it is that gross. Thought I would give that a try, fail. I ordered the half bird for reference. I remember when this place was new and the chicken was amazing. That is no longer the case. This place has entered an era of decline and slop like most restaurants sadly do after a couple of years. I honestly get a better balanced flavor from KFC. And that's half the price. totally embarrassing. As far as service goes, people seem pretty nice, but they're constantly behind, orders come out massively late, and have no idea where your order is. read more

This is one placed that I used to love ordering food from. until Friday 4-17-2026 , my big family order was disgusting , the coleslaw tested like old and bitter and the chicken got no flavor was white and not crispy at all , I will not go back there . read more

went to the little for a movie & thought we'd try this place - what a huge disappointment. we had the unfortunate luck of having to interact with a pink haired staff that had the most inhospitable attitude i've dealt with in a while. chicken was mediocre at best with only two tiny 3inch pieces on a $16 bowl, mac n cheese was overcooked bland. the entire meal could've been served at a nursing home. the vibe was also confusing, luxury dining area contrasted with flatscreen self promos? owners will regret cutting corners on portions, quality, and staff - especially when they've got major competition in roc, better step it up read more

My friend Rob put me on to this place a couple of years ago,tell you the truth I have NEVER been disappointed all the times I have been there first of all to be honest I am picky when it comes to food because of food allergies to beef and pork I look for good places to eat especially dealing with chicken and fish!! I currently reside at the Batavia area basically 5 miles away from the Batavia Downs Casino,I'm a Rochester native who comes to the city once in a while and this place happens to be less than 5 minutes away from my parents house.They have a chicken sandwich called the the Mac Daddy that is phenomenal ,the sauce is just good on it and the fries is good as well especially the Garlic Parmesan in it and plus the fried fish is very decent as well also how can I forget the macaroni cheese? It's one of the best in the city so if you like Chick-Fil-A when they are closed on Sundays I recommend this place. read more

I'm done! Chick n Out you are no longer worth the hype! I knew it was over when I did an online order at 4pm for a pick up at 4:30 and the food was cold by the time I reached my car at 4:35! The owner graciously refunded my money with an apology. Hence the reason I didn't write a review. However now I'm officially done! I spent $64 and you don't give me whole tenders!!!! Seriously, I've never had these issues at Chick Magnet and I would have saved $20! The quality has severely suffered and the prices are ridiculous. My "uncle nini" bowl had about one tender cut in pieces. The three piece tender meal is so embarrassing I don't even want to post a pic. Farewell! Chick Magnet here I come! read more

So. Good. I've been here twice, and the second time I of course had to try the tenders. Highly recommend the Mac and cheese and highly recommend getting everything spicy. I can see why people call it the best chicken sandwich in Rochester. It's worthy of the hype. Service is pleasant, and a grab and go style. There used to be spacious seating, but they're currently undergoing renovations -@cophiescrumbs on Instagram read more

I've consistently had great experiences with both the service and food quality at your restaurant, which is why I was disappointed with my most recent visit. I placed an online order for a 4:30 PM pickup and arrived at the restaurant at 4:08 PM. Upon checking in, I was informed my order would take an additional 15-20 minutes, so I stepped out briefly to make a phone call. When I returned at 4:11 PM, I was surprised to find my order already prepared. Unfortunately, the fries were cold, and I did not receive the bread that typically accompanies the meal. Most disappointing of all, the fish fry did not meet the standard I've come to expect--it was, regrettably, the worst I've received from your establishment. I wanted to bring this to your attention as a loyal customer who values the quality and consistency Chick'n Out is known for. I hope this feedback helps in maintaining the high standards that have kept me coming back. Thank you for your time and consideration. read more

I was in the mood for some hot fried chicken and Chick n Out did not come through. The chicken was at least a day old, the breading was not hot. Meat was tough. The fries were good but I only got about a child's handful. They also forgot my mac n cheese. Sorry but I cannot recommend. read more

3.5 stars overall. First of all, FYI the Google Maps location is INCORRECT. Go to the website to confirm the location. This pop up stand is currently located inside of a bar. Line was long and there were two options total (chicken tenders with a side or fish fry). $15/3 piece chicken tender + one side or $18/fish fry which was fairly pricey considering the portion sizes. Tried one of each thing. Unfortunately, it took about 30-45 minutes for us to get our order (and we had to ask several times when we saw people after us getting their orders; I think we were accidentally skipped). The chicken itself is very tasty as well as the awesome sauce. The tenders were crispy and juicy, but portion was small. Tried the corn, mac and cheese sides and they were just okay. The fish was a large portion and came in a very satisfying big box. The garlic parmesan fries were tasty and I wish that was a side option for the chicken since it beat out the rest and the slaw was not bad. Overall, the food is pretty good, but for how long it took and the two item menu for this Pop Up, I probably won't go chasing it around. read more

This place has excellent chicken, no doubt. When it came to the 'Pa Bowl" I had last night (March 22nd 2025), I gotta tell it like it is here. It was 25 percent chicken and 75 percent french fries. Come on y'all... when you get a 3-piece meal, you get a lot of chicken for the money. For $13.99, I get less than half of one of those chicken pieces and a load of french fries. That's just a joke. Somebody's trying to squeeze some extra profit out of there product offerings. You need at least a 60/40 proportion of chicken to fries, or you need to ditch the 'Pa Bowl' altogether. read more

Holy cow! Just as good as I remembered when they just started up. Love their chicken, but don't know if I love their sides as much. The chicken looks dry in photos, but that's because it's not oily! There's a nice crisp to the tenders we got that didn't have that oily drench your fingers feel as you are eating. Came in a box described as "enough for 2" but honestly could feed 3. Their orders opened promptly at noon and we quickly ordered and picked up our food at 5 pm before heading to Highland Park for a fried chicken picnic. There happened to be some ballet concert in the background while we were enjoying this. Opening this giant box of fried chicken is very satisfying. Chicken was tender and soft with a good crisp outside that didn't have the KFC greasy feel. The chicken was actually not too salty which made it pleasing to pair it with its sauces. Even warming this up later, the chicken did not dry out but definitely needed their sauces to spice the flavor back up. I thought their macaronic salad was a little too sweet; it was a slightly odd cole slaw meets macaroni combination that left a straight sweet oniony aftertaste that I wasn't a fan of. The potatoes were a little dry in the center of the scoop; gravy was fine. Overall I would come back here for the chicken but I would forgo their sides. If you like the sides, then you can have mine. Chicken was good quality and highly recommend this place and be part of the hype! read more

Even though it looked great, the chicken was dry and crisp-less. The buns weren't toasted. The macaroni salad was just some pasta and mayo. The ingredients were there but it all felt like a deflated version of what it could be. Maybe they had an off night or something, but I was disappointed this place didn't live up to the hype. read more

The restaurant is open and it's a good as the chicken fingers! The added floor space and bar didn't impact the food at all. There is a nice selection of cocktail and craft/ local beers. My only wish: please make sure you have some porters or stouts (not Guinness) year round. Some of us just prefer something a little heartier than IPAs. read more

My partner and I went to The Metropolitan to enjoy Sandwich Saturday at the Bar Bantam pop-up. So glad we did! It was nice to be out in the world and not feel unsafe, to have a cocktail I didn't make for myself (and had a bunch of ingredients), and to have some bomb fried chicken. I had The Southern and my partner had The Heater, each $15 with a side of mac n cheese. Don't pass on the Awesome Sauce ($1.75 if you get it on the side, which I did because I was worried about it being too spicy, but I didn't think it was), it makes those sammies sing. I told them to hold the pickles because I hate then, but then I tried one from my partner's sandwich and they were great because they were housemade and not too pickled! My partner thought the mac n cheese was a little bland, but with the addition of some Awesome Sauce, I didn't notice at all. We shared a side of fries ($5, I think) and they came with two dipping sauces (Awesome Sauce and a tartar-like one). They were well-seasoned, there were so many we had leftovers, and the sauces were a perfect pairing. We both agreed our sandwiches were 5/5 and our drinks (Japanese lager for them and The Lincoln for me) made it a lovely night out. read more

Chick'N Out is still a pop-up. But their location changes from time to time. The ordering process is a bit annoying. To be fair, this is somewhat due to Covid-19. Basically, follow their social media and they announce when pre-orders are opening for certain days and you better be ready to fill out that form. Much like buying concert tickets, they can sell out within minutes. It took me 3-4 tries to get an order in. That being said, it's totally worth it. Because, whatever they are putting on this Chicken is banging! We got a tray of Hot and Not so Hot! The coating is crispy (but not low carb so I gave in to the carbs today). You get a choice of sauces and honey. And some pickled cucumber slices which are nice and refreshing. They also have optional sides on some days. Their to go trays come neatly packed and they put bread under the tenders (I'm guessing to help absorb grease and keep the crunch). It's very rare that all 5 of us agree on food choices and all 5 enjoyed this Chicken Goodness. I look forward to the point when they have a food truck or a full time brick and mortar! read more

Chick'N Out launched as a pop up within Blossom Road Pub on Thursday nights. I think the launch was brilliant, as it soon got so crowded that I didn't even go anymore, as it was so busy. People were waiting 2+ hours for this chicken! That's dedication. I have, however had Chick'N Out on several occasions, both at the Blossom Road Pub pop up and at their lunch pop ups at their University Ave location. Today I got a small white combo with mac and cheese during their lunch pop up from 12-3. I got there at around 11:50 and waited about 20 minutes to place my order, then another 10 or so to get my food. The biggest complaint you'll likely hear about Chick'N Out is that there is a wait time. This is true -- they're popular! You'll want to get there early, or go a little later and risk having sides/food sold out. Whether or not the wait is worth it is up to you, but I'm willing to wait 20-30 minutes because the chicken is fabulous. The chicken is some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. It's perfectly breaded, seasoned, and made more delicious if you order it "stung" (with honey). I order the hot, which is good, but could be hotter (they also do a "way too hot" that I'm going to try next). The mac and cheese is rich and delicious, but my favorite side is actually their cucumber and onion salad that comes with every order. Their collard greens are also popular. Currently, there are three ways to get Chick'N Out: pop ups at Blossom Road Pub on Thursdays, random lunch pop ups at University Ave, and Sunday pre-order pickups at University Ave. You're going to have to act fast if you want the Sunday orders, they sell out in 10 mins or so. My tip: turn on post notifications for their Instagram to know exactly when things are being released! read more

I don't normally say something is the best, but this is easily the best chicken in Rochester. I always get the chicken strips and they are always excellent.

This place is absolutely worth the try. read more

Delicious! I would definitely eat there often if I lived in Rochester. We had a chicken sandwich (The Southern), a chicken mac and cheese bowl, and a side order of the pickled cucumbers and onions. Loved it! The breading on the chicken is light and flavorful, and the pieces of chicken are huge and perfectly cooked. Their sides were very nice and had a definite home-made quality. If you haven't been, GO! If I lived there, I would be addicted. There are two things to note though. It doesn't really have indoor seating, and the food tends to run toward the sweet side. It was still delicious though. read more
