Original Chicken Tender

Found this place on Unilocal!and saw the great reviews; however, the chicken tenders were quite disappointing. The only reason I would say that is because the texture of the chicken itself is off. I felt like I was eating fried fish because the meat just dissolves in your mouth which is quite odd for chicken. The batter was light and fluffy which I enjoyed. The sweet potato fries were a mixture of undercooked and overcooked fries. The only solid thing was French fries and soda. I probably will not return, sorry!

limited food court so i picked to try this place out. for $ 8.59 (7.95 before tax) i got the 3 chicken tenders with fries. chicken tenders were okay/​not bad. fries sucked not the best and greasy with so flavor. over all its an okay place if you like chicken. check it out. but…
why its an a-​ok three stars rating is because my friends and i had to wait 30 minutes for our food. RIDICULOUS. there was one girl working and two guys. the one girl was cooking ALL the food. the other two guys did not help her and were just standing around. she cooked the chicken tenders and the fries. the guys would just either ring up a customer and then stand there to package the food. even packing the food didn’t make sense. they would put everything in the bag side ways so when i went to pick up the back and walk back to my hotel it all fell out.
truly there needs to be a manager or someone there checking their workers out. 30 minute wait for three chicken tenders and some fries is crazy. wasn’t even busy. props to that one girl tho. working her butt off…

When you’re on the strip finding decent, cheap food isn’t always easy to come by. And although I wouldn’t exactly classify the food here as cheap, per se, it’s definitely one of the cheaper options you’ll find in the area. Ordered the 5 strip meal cuz I was hangry! Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much. But I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken strips we juicy and the breading was light and crispity crunchity! They were definitely tasty. The sweet potato fries, while not very greasy to me, were actually greasier than the chicken strips. As for flavor, they were ok. Their lemonade was good, too! So if you’re in the Luxor area, tired of the buffets, just want something quick and «relatively cheap» then this is a good place to stop.

For food court fare, the Original Chicken Tender is a great choice. Straightforward menu, freshly-​made food, and plenty of space to sit and enjoy your meal.
Compared to the local staple of Raising Cane’s, the superior chicken is debatable. Only way to find out is to try for yourself!

Checked into our hotel and we were starving. Sent the husband to grab something and he stumbled on this spot. Ordered the chicken fingers and the chicken finger sandwich. AMAZING!!! Chicken was moist and a perfect crisp!!! Sauce was good. Fries were good. Bread was soft on the chicken sandwich. Food was great. Went again the next day for the chicken strips!

Came here just before midnight in a Friday and they had a huge line. As they close at midnight, maybe 10 before midnight they said that only those in line would be served and that the line effectively ended after the last person as of right then. So don’t be late!
We really enjoyed these freshly fried, lightly breaded tender chicken strips. We watched the guy freshly breaking them and putting them in the fryer as ppl ordered. The sauce they came with was decent and they also have ranch and bbq if you ask. The fries seemed fresh as well.
Solid, reasonable priced quick dinner/​snack when you’ve been drinking all day! We will definitely be back! (This is in a food court area)

The people who worked here were really nice, and I got a really large portion of food. Not nearly as over-​priced as most of the other places on the strip. The taste and quality its comparable to Cane’s. My only complaint is that the food was really greasy. Definitely ask for extra napkins :)

Not the greatest chicken strips I’ve had, but still a solid, reasonably-​priced food option at the Luxor. True to their name, the chicken tenders are very tender with a light breading. They’re a little bland but the sauce that comes with the order adds a much needed kick of flavor. I opted for the sweet potato fries as my side order and I’m so glad I did. They’re really friggin’ good. And their lemonade is AWESOME. I don’t know if it’s freshly made but definitely isn’t the typical overly-​sweet fountain soda version. I actually went back for a second order! If you’re staying at the Luxor and looking for a quick, tasty meal, Original Chicken Tender is the way to go.

Pleasantly surprised. The tenders are light and flakey moist with a great taste. This place is a sleeper. If you are close to Luxor do your self a favor and try it… You will not be disappointed.

2.5 Stars, but rounding down because everything other than the chicken was a complete fail.
I ordered the 3 piece meal, which comes with fries for $ 8. Swapping out fries for mashed potatoes cost an extra $ 1. I added a big biscuit for $ 1.50. Yeah Chris Rock said it… Big A$$ Biscuit!!! We up to $ 11.50 for 3 Chicken Tenders, mashed potatoes, biscuit and tax.
Biscuit — MC Gusto ain’t got nothing on Denise Austin, because these biscuits were hard a$$… Buns of Steel! I bit in and thought my tooth broke off. Hard on the inside, hard on the outside, like my arteries. Yea, I got jokes today. So sad, because I was so drooling when the guy brought out the paint brush and started basting the biscuit with a little butter before wrapping it up. I didn’t eat another bite, I threw it away. And they didn’t give me butter or honey.
Chicken Tenders — The tenders are pretty good. I don’t know if they are $ 4.95 for two pieces good (while in Vegas, you pay Strip prices), but they were good. Definitely $ 4.95 for three pieces good. One problem is that the breading was already falling off before I even tried to pick one up. It’s light and crispy, but the falling off thing is an issue. The original thousand island based sauce (it’s like a chipotle thousand island dip) is money, while the bbq sauce is not.
Mashed Potatoes — If you’re charging me an extra $ 1 for mashed potatoes over fries and you forget to put gravy on the potatoes or on the side, I am gonna be pissed. I didn’t find out until I got back to my room and I wasn’t about to walk another 500 steps back for them to fix it.
Maybe things sucked because I ordered after 10 p.m. (they are open until midnight every night, so no excuses!). At these prices, they need to get things right.
Original Chicken Tender is located in the 2^nd level food court by the upstairs sphinx.

If staying at or near Luxor, and looking for cheap eats, this chicken tender spot is not bad. If you are a local though, this food has nothing on Cane’s. At canes, for cheaper, you get 6 strips of chicken, fries, coleslaw, and texas toast.
For $ 9.95 here at Original Chicken Tender, you get five freshly/​generously breaded chicken cooked to yummy juicy delicious perfection and a side of skinny fries. But that’s it. Their dipping sauce is similar to Cane’s (probably some kind mix of mayo, ketchup, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper). I noticed though when you dip the chicken, sometimes the breading falls off.
Still, besides McDonalds, this is probably the cheapest good food you’d get in the area.

So. These are good chicken tenders. They REALLY reminded me of Raising Can’es… especially their sauce. But honestly way overpriced. It’s an extra $ 1 to upgrade from fries to another side… The food was pretty decent… the only complaint I have is the fact that the breading falls of way too easily. So whenever I would dip the tender in the sauce I would get a tender back with no breading or sauce and the breading left in the sauce.

Wow. In love at first bite! Crunch, crispy & delicious! Just get it! Chicken tenders are the bomb! $ 5+ for 3 pieces of chicken tenders only. Worth it! I must say, I came during lunch time and the wait was pretty long. Try to come during non-​traffic hours.

This is a really good chicken fast food place inside the Luxor food court. I believe the tenders are made to order and not frozen like McDonald’s. At least they taste like it! They serve delicious chicken and fries served with unique dipping sauces. I have been here many times and will definitely go back!!! Highly recommended.

WAY overrated…
read some reviews that these were the best chicken tenders on the planet. whatever.
obviously those folks have not been to chick-​fil-​a…
as a southern boy, there is just no comparison to chick-​fil-​a…
in fact, we have like a million places that have better chicken tenders than this.
also, my 5 piece and a drink was over $ 16. seriously. that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard.
these were the greasiest, nastiest chicken tenders i may have ever eaten. i would rather have a mcnugget… and i never thought i would say that…

My goodness, who ever thought the best thing I have will taste in Vegas would be found in a hotel’s simple food court. Totally didn’t expect anything, was just hungry and decided to grab a quick bite and my oh my, that chicken tender got me sprung.
I bit into a piece of white meat delicious-​ness that was perfectly juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside and was so fresh, it was about to burn my tongue out of my mouth. Yes, I did discover that this «fast food» joint FRESHLY makes their chicken. I witnessed the cook pulling out the chicken tenders to flour them in breadcrumbs and then deep fried them. It took a little longer than your standard Mcdonald’s fast food speed, but 12 minutes is worth it. Shoot, I can’t even start on how their house sauce that comes with their chicken tenders makes me want to have all chicken tenders in the world have a mandatory marriage to that sauce.
I believe 2 chicken tenders are about 5 bucks, just get one of the combo meals. You can upgrade the side to sweet potato fries for a buck more if you wanted. I think this chain is just a Vegas thing, the one we discovered was located in the Luxor hotel. We have found our «must go to place to eat in Vegas». Funniest thing ever because 40 dollars buffet, not impressed, but this, YES.

Okay I have been raising children for over 20 years and never once have I had a chicken tender/​finger or nugget meal by choice. My family has our eat out days on the weekends and it was my turn to pick the place. Who picks the Original Chicken Tender for lunch? Me, mom that’s who. These are the best chicken tenders I have ever eaten. If you’ve never tried this restaurant in the Luxor food court, you better get your butt down here as soon as possible. The meal seems pretty pricey but you are getting what you pay for. I ordered the 4tender meal with fries and had to pay for the drink separately.
When I got to the table an assessed my food, they had put in an extra little baby tender which I gave to my hubby to try. He thought he’d been here before until he tried the baby tender. It was right about then when he regretted getting his chili dog from Nathans (when he could of picked up a pack of Nathans hotdogs from the commissary for $ 3. ha ha) I managed to only eat two tenders and my cup of fries before I became too full to finish. Dear daughter got the same meal as I did and was filled up too. I need to make mention that this 12 year old didn’t even look over at the McDonalds two doors down when she found out we were going to the Original Chicken Tender.
Dear daughter went to the register to get a bag for our food. I sheepishly asked her to ask if they gave free refills as I well hella thirsty after ingesting a cup of fries and fried chicken with my 16oz. cup half full of ice. She came back and said they did. Yes, I did send her back up there for more Pepsi. I thought maybe they were having sympathy on the kid but would turn me down. lol
Being a local, I wouldn’t fight traffic on the weekend but will be going back during the week day whenever I have spare time and the craving.

The original tender sandwich (10.95), which includes a small side order of fries* is two strips of chicken. Two (2). Dos (2). It is snack level of chicken for 10 $, and it is not even that good.
*upgradable to sweet potato for additional 1 $
I don’t even know why I came back after the initial patronage brought me face-​to-​face with the smallest 10 $ chicken sandwich outside of airports, amusement parks, stadiums, or fucking Michelin-​starred establishments. I mean, honestly … Popeye’s is just one property over in Excalibur’s food court, and I think their po’ boys have more chicken in them, and at a third of the price. The chicken is actually much better at Popeye’s as well.
What other complaints do I have? They provide you with a single miniature ration of dipping sauce even when buying the biggest meal. Come on, player! Not even Cane’s is that stingy.
What do they do well? Nothing. Although, begrudgingly, I must applaud their effort to offer 25% off discount for civil servants. (See tip.)
Every time I return, I feel like kicking myself in the nuts afterward. I must be some kind of sadist, not much unlike that one entrepreneur farther north on the strip running a kick me in the balls LLC.

Seriously delicious chicken tenders made fresh.
I was thrilled to find what I at first thought was a Dairy Queen. Wrong resort… that would have been at the Excalibur or one resort over from Luxor.
I really enjoyed the crispy and delicious the chicken tenders were. And how large, hot, and non greasy they were.
Since I was on vacation I did not quibble about prices that were slightly above average… but this was a food court. Just having the option to order and enjoy fried okra what I special treat.
I would have been satisfied with the regular dipping sauce, but order their gravy at an extra cost. it was the only thing that had a processed taste… but I still ate some of it.
I did use my coupon from Luxor for a free soda pop, with unlimited refills.
the total bill was about $ 13.00, but this was for a lot of food, looking at a food court. and don’t let the word food court fool you. This one was massive and clean and food courts are where most people in Las Vegas high end LUXURY resorts can eat at anyway.
I will be back in February and will definitely go back!

Every time im at the Luxor I have to stop at this place. Located in the food court on the second floor. The menu is very simple, mostly tenders, tender sandwiches, fries, different sides, and milkshakes. But I like to stick to the originals such as just the tenders, fries and their special sauce.
The chicken has a nice crunchy layer, but my favorite are their fries. My favorite types of fries are squishy and flexible and that’s just the way these fries are. The sauce is very refreshing, one container surprisingly is enough for your meal, but u can always ask for more.
You can also choose to order it in a sandwich, either in Texas style toast or a hamburger style bun, and yes it is smothered in their special sauce in the sandwich.
