When we leave Lake Tahoe, we always cruise by the Maverick to fill up on gas and snacks.

So this isn't my first time trying Big Chicken however it's my first time having it at an actual…read morerestaurant in past it has only been on a cruise which didn't disappoint but man! Having it in store is wayyyyyyyyyy better! I did the ultimate combo which comes with onion rings and Mac and cheese on the chicken sandwich and man! This combo is undefeated! The combo just goes! This meal is very filling and super fresh while big chicken is fast food it doesn't feel like it while eating it. The flavor and the freshness leaves you wanting nothing! Along with the meal I had a very refreshing watermelon refresher and it balanced being a juice with being a refresher perfectly! I typically can't do to much juice as it's sweet but this refresher was just that refreshing! Typically at fast food restaurants you get young inexperienced workers and it sometimes shows with their lack of customer service skills not this location had the privilege of connecting with two young ladies that helped us decipher the menu and offered recommendations they were very personable and friendly. The restaurant is new and you can tell but it's very nice I can't remember if they had background music going but if not that's the only thing I would add as it is one of those come and go places but some people sit and talk and some nice tunes or a game on could help. Highly recommend checking it out

The service was great and friendly at the counter, the girl that took my order offered suggestions and feedback. The dining room could have been wiped down as well as fountain drink station; it was sticky. The dining room was warmer than just being outside and it's been hot! Those were my only take aways from this experience. The sandwich itself was good. My kids enjoyed their food, so that's a win for me. I would be open to trying other items on their menu in the future. It's pricier compared to other fast food chicken dining options in the area, but we'll give it another try next time we're in Minden.

On our way home from a long, arduous day in the mountains, me and my family were HUNGRY, so we…read morestopped at the first place we saw that was open, and hoped for the best. WE. WERE. BLOWN. AWAY. So I have this little belief that has so far been proven right... If a brewery has food, it's good food. And honestly, I can say that this keeps that belief up. My burger and fries were SPECTACULAR, and any chance to eat beer cheese is a good time for me. Also, my mom with her gluten allergy, said that throughout her years of terrible gluten free alternatives, this one was the most amazing, tasty, and was hard to believe it wasn't full of gluten, but somehow it was, and it was awesome! We sat outside, and they have a nice seating area, a lot of games in a grassy area and a few others scattered around, as well as a fire pit to give it a chill atmosphere Staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and honestly made a really good impression on us before we even started talking. All that to say... To management, you WILL be seeing us again, I don't care how, we will be coming back.

We've come here a few times and have always had a good experience.

The only downside is that if you're sitting outside, it can be hard to hear when your order is ready. If you order through the QR code, though, you can enter your phone number and receive a text notification, which is really helpful. We did have one small issue once where I received a text saying our food was ready, but it wasn't. I think the tickets may have gotten mixed up and someone grabbed the wrong order. The staff fixed it quickly, though, so it wasn't a big deal. The soft serve is a great deal, and they rotate flavors regularly. The lemon flavor was our favorite. We've tried several of the sandwiches and burgers, and everything has been consistently good. They also offer a nice variety of wing flavors, and the wings are always one of our go-to orders. Overall, it's a cute spot with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the patio is dog-friendly. I've heard people mention that it's expensive, but honestly, the prices seem pretty standard compared to most other restaurants in town. Nothing felt overpriced to us.

This young man was the best. We were brought chips and salsa, and we also requested the extra spicy for the Hubby. The mild was perfect for me. The chips were nice and crunchy with a great corn flavor. We did order a sangria for me and a margarita for the hubby. They have a really nice lunch menu with great prices and a very extensive regular menu. I ordered the #6 off the lunch menu. A chili relleno with the sauce on the side and a crispy ground beef taco. The rice was so good, great flavor as well as the refried beans. 5 stars for each of these. The taco was so full of meat (ground beef) and fresh veggies. The chilli relleno was huge and perfectly cooked. I get my sauce on the side so leftovers will not get soggy. Now this sauce was like a ranchero sauce, looked like onions, celery and maybe tomatoes in it. It was really tasty. Hubby got a #13 off the regular menu. 1 enchilada, he got ground beef, 1 crunchy taco with ground beef and a tamale which was shredded beef. I tried the tamale and it was very delicious. We did ask to speak to the Manager who looked a bit nervous coming over. We explained to him it was our very 1st visit and won't be our last. We told him everyone wants to call you over to complain, we were like we wanted to give you major compliments on everything from the awesome waiter Ivan to the food and atmosphere. Music was at a perfect tone etc. We were seated by the bar area in a booth. Very nice in that area. We will definitely be going back

Gayle was off with her Sister on a Cruise, or what she calls "Sisters Without Misters" or "Misters Without Masters". I was coming in from Markleeville and stopped in Minden for gas an a burrito combo to take home as my first "bachelor" dinner. I hadn't set foot in this building since McDonald's was here, and found that the subsequent renovation to be impressive. I'll need to come back for a sit down with music, but for this visit it was a To-Go order at the counter. The order came out relatively quick and hot, so much so that I had to be careful taking it back to the car. It was a huge amount of food and so much so that it was good for 2 very satisfying dinners. Even a little microwaving on Night 2 didn't really dent the experience. My only quibble is that I prefer black beans to refried, but either forgot to ask or wasn't sure.
