Sandwich
Nancy Q.

I'm not sure about the hype. In the Luxor food court and one of the few late night options. Definitely a casual place. I ordered a chicken sandwich meal. The guy was friendly and the food came out in seconds after ordering. Too bad it wasn't fresh. Not crunchy either and not juicy. And the fries were not any better. I would not return.

The sandwiches were good. The sauce tasted almost like canes. The fries were good. Not sure if i prefer this or cane's, but it's definitely better than chic fil a. I really like the Cole slaw woth texas bread and their chicken was juicy. Will come again.

Ordered the five tender platter & honestly it was giving Canes dupe but better! Just imagine the similar tenders from here being bigger. They even got the Canes sauce too! My local canes could never, this was hitting, I don't know if I was just hungry, but it was so yum. Service: 10/10 Friendly, nice, and you can tell they're hard working Ambiance: Environment is super cute, I love the lights around and it's right at the Food Court!

This place hit the spot for chicken and waffles at a low packed food court. I was craving wings, and this place was the closest to that option. Definitely hit the spot for what I was looking for in the moment of my craving. Syrup and waffles for dinner also can't go wrong. Service took a little because of the long line which is always a good sign!

Some of the selections in detail

Wow.. Surprisingly great chicken strips here on the South end of the Strip inside the food court at the MGM Luxor Pyramid. Starting at $17.99, (So it sounds a tad pricey maybe, but read on... ) For the money you get three delightfully tender hand-battered chicken strips coated in a thin delicate crunchy batter accompanied by a big serving of thin-cut (McDonalds-style) fries and a cup of their Cbick-Fil-A/Cane's-clone dressing and a sauce of your choice. We chose Buffalo/BBQ as our free sauce. They also have Nashville Hot, Hot Honey and Ranch sauces too. Order up with the friendly staff, and you get handed a pager. They will cook your meal up FRESH after ordering.. Find a seat in the spotless food court with a tiny helping of mid-century vibe while u wait. PRO TIP: 1) Get an additional chicken strip for just $1 more.. Or better yet... 2) Get TWO additional strips for just $2 more - making that $19.99 for five strips, not a bad deal as most everything else casual seems mediocre or overpriced at this Luxor/Delano/Mandalay end of the LV Strip.. 3) Extra sauces are 99 cents beyond the first two sauces you get with your order. No biggie. 4) The Texas Toast that came with our order was just okay - not quite as fluffy as I like, but still decent. Next time, I'd like to try out their chicken and waffles plate for breakfast. They have a regular chicken burger on a burger bun and a chicken burger on Texas Toast on the menu too. Yep.. definitely worth going back. OCT totally beats the "generic" factory chicken strips you get at most chain restaurants by a long shot.

Popped in for an easy meal after traveling. Chicken was tasty, tender, and portion size was perfect for my partner and me. This could be a meal for one, but we opted to share. The tender sizes are what you would expect, the batter crisp and the chicken not dry. We got the BBQ and the Nashville Hot sauces. The Nashville is not super spicy with a nice little cayenne kick. The BBQ is pretty standard. Would recommend if you like chicken tenders! The staff were nice and the food came out quickly and fresh. Solid team! Keep being awesome, Raymond and crew!

Chicken tender sandwich and fries

The offerings here are solid for a food court joint! I ordered a chicken sandwich with fries. Order came out in a short amount of time. I requested my sauces on the side but the chicken had enough flavor on it that it wasn't even necessary to use them. Look forward to another visit the next I am in town.

Britanny T.

These are the best chicken tenders I've had in my entire life. They are cost-effective and perfectly seasoned I couldn't ask for anything better I literally have nothing else to say because of how perfect these are!

2 orders of 5 piece tenders and fries

After visiting Luxor for years, this seems to be the only good restaurant to grab a quick bite. But wow are they expensive! 5 tenders and fries costs $12.99! That's not even for the meal! Just the tenders and a small cup of fries. We only come here when we're already at Excalibur or Luxor and wanting to grab a bite without leaving the strip. Recommended if you're staying at Luxor or in the area and hungry. Nothing special, pretty similar to any other chicken tender joint. The food does take a few minutes to be ready because everything is freshly fried/prepared

Had the chicken sandwich which is 2 chicken tenders on a bun with shredded lettuce and their special sauce. Overpriced but it's Vegas so as expected on price but couldn't anything to the sandwich. Everything we asked they told us no: onion, tomato, cheese, pickles

OVERALL : Was craving some chicken tenders / hot fried…read morechicken while in Vegas and decided to stop by this spot after hearing that it was a well known spot in a couple other states (TN, AL, GA, IL, and TX). They are located in the Cosmopolitan food hall serving up nashville fried chicken, sides, and some boozy drinks. There's seating shared with the rest of the places in the food hall, and you order at the counter then self-seat. Service was fast and friendly. This is a super casual no-frills spot and food came out quick. Big portions (3 tender meal was enough to share between 2) and tasty drinks! Pricing was a bit less than what I saw from other chicken tender meals at other food courts. PARKING : N/A -- we walked here since we were staying on the Strip and ended up at the Cosmo FOOD/DRINKS : Tenders - 3 big tenders served with 1 side and 1 sauce + slice of white bread - We got mid spicy but they had several other spice levels. The tenders were BIG and shareable, but not the juiciest and got a tad salty after eating for a while. Comeback sauce was really good to pair with everything though! For the side, we chose Pimento Mac and Cheese. So creamy and cheesy with good pimento flavor! A la Carte Side - We got some fries on the side and it was the best decision! The fries were thick cut, SO well seasoned, and stayed crisp despite sitting for a while as we ate. Big portion too! Peach Vodka Sweet Tea Slush - Had to get a boozy slush since we were in Vegas! This def had the peach vodka flavor front and center -- a fun and tasty drink!

I'm from the South, so I know what this should be--and this wasn't it. The cashier had attitude…read morefrom the jump, clearly bothered that I asked about spice levels and didn't tip on a to-go fast food order. ( this new tipping in fast food is ridiculous) Eye roll included. Not a great start. Yes, the chicken came out hot that's the one thing it got right. But the breading is nowhere close to real Southern fried chicken. It's heavy, OVERLY greasy, and misses the mark completely. The ranch tasted bottled, the sweet tea wasn't fresh (straight dispenser vibes), and the peach cobbler had zero flavor only saved by the vanilla ice cream. It smells amazing walking up, but don't fall for it. $31 for a greasy, underwhelming meal with attitude on the side? Hard pass. Wouldn't come back or recommend. * it just leaves me thinking, of all the amazing Mom and pop spots in the small southern towns that I call home. I know a handful of restaurants that could absolutely flourish if given the chance in a location such as the cosmopolitan.

Our waitress was super friendly and upbeat but she immediately let us know that there was only one order of fried chicken left if we wanted to order it. We were not ordering fried chicken so it wasn't an issue but I thought it was odd that this is an item they would run out of on a Sunday. I ordered the chicken fried steak which came with mashed potatoes and greens. My husband ordered the catfish dinner which came with hush puppies, grits and greens. The food arrived pretty quick and was hot. My chicken fried steak was just ok. The mashed potatoes were good and the greens were the worst I've had. It was like a pound of sugar in them. Caught me off guard. It was so sweet that it was inedible. My husband's fried catfish was prepared perfectly! (We asked for it to be fried hard) It was hot, fresh and well seasoned! The hush puppies were a bit dry and taste like they roll it in the same fish fry as the catfish as it had a slight fishy taste but the grits were amazing! It had a white gravy/sauce on top of it and it was just soo good! I had wished I ordered his plate even tho we swapped a few forkfuls. One thing I noticed was the menu had changed. Based on other yelp posts, there were items that I had in mind I wanted to try when I got there like the egg rolls. The menu is vastly downsized from when they first opened which was a bummer. Usually when a restaurant downsizes their menu by that much, it's usually a sign it won't be open much longer. So go while you can if it's a place you've been wanting to try. We paid almost $80 for 2 dinners (not including tip). We did not get drinks since we had been drinking earlier. The price wasn't too bad for a sit down restaurant inside a Vegas casino.

Service was solid too, everybody attentive without doing too much. Drinks: I got the drink flight and I gotta keep it real... this was my only real complaint. Out of the four drinks, only ONE was good. I don't remember all the names, but the golden one with Jack Honey was cool. The other three? Easy passes. For $42, that ain't it. 3/10 Appetizers: Now let's talk food. The biscuits are CRAZY. Soft, buttery, fresh, and that pepper jam takes it to another level. They even put the jam in the hush puppies which is a power move. 10/10 The crab cakes were fire too. All flavor, real crab meat, no filler nonsense. Definitely something I'd order again. 9/10 Main Plate: I ordered the fried fish with Brussels sprouts and mac & cheese. The fish was top tier. Fried perfect, seasoned right, crispy but not greasy. 8/10 The Brussels were mixed with sweet potatoes, good balance, good flavor, just nothing that made me lose my mind. 7/10 The mac & cheese wasn't for me. Thick cheese sauce but no real flavor behind it. Just kinda there. 4/10 Overall: All in all, it was a good experience. Great service, good food, and a solid atmosphere. Even with a couple misses, I'd still come back and try more off the menu. Nellie's definitely worth checking out.

What really stood out though was the staff. Super attentive, polite, and genuinely courteous the entire time. You could tell they were moving fast, but they didn't let the quality slip. Food came out fresh, hot, and exactly how it should be -- no shortcuts even during the chaos. That combination of solid food, a fun late-night atmosphere, and top-tier service is rare.

All of the food that we ordered was the same great taste that we've grown to expect from all the Shake Shack's that we've had the pleasure of visiting. This particular location located on the strip charges more for every single item on the menu. I was told the reason being is for the simple fact that it's located on the Las Vegas strip. I personally don't agree with that reason/justification. Just because you can inflate your prices doesn't necessarily mean that you should. I'm of course speaking from an ethical standpoint, not a business one. What would have cost us $50 at one of the other Shake Shack's located throughout this city ended up costing $80 here. Overall, it was a really great experience. It's just next time we're in the mood for some Shake Shack we'll simply just visit a different location.
