If your looking for a great in-between drinking snack and don't want to worry about full service this may be a great option. Don't get me wrong your food won't run too cheap but for all that you get its decent. I opted for Nashville hot however there was not even a hint of spice. Flavorful, hot, fresh and saucy but it's was as spicy as a bellpepper. Once I received my food I honestly was surprised for what all came in the price. A small coleslaw complimented the tenders and added a refreshing taste in each bite. Texas toast on the side to dip along in the excess sauce and the most delicious fries all under about $20 per person can't be beat. My food busted with flavor and was fingerlicking good. I do wish they had spicier sauce options but then again I'm one of many who prefer Caroline reapers and scorpion peppers over the mild taste of ghost peppers . For some the sauce may taste a bit peppery but that is why I included my spice level so not to confuse any of my readers. My overall experience is the food would get a 9/10 however customer service although not personable? She was very quick and honest about what was good . read more

We usually LOVE this chicken! It's always been so tender and perfectly cooked! Also, the tenders are always pretty big! However, this time, although the service was good, the tenders were way overcooked (I didn't get any pictures); we threw them away (we took them to our room to eat; otherwise, I would have spoken up!). It was after 1:00 AM, so maybe they were just "ready to go home", but that's no reason to overcook ANY chicken! It's located in the food court area at the MGM Grand. We will try it again next time! read more

Original Chicken Tender - $20 salad - Chicken Wings Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Stayed several days during a conference at the MGM Grand and ended up trying different food options within the hotel for convenience, including those in their food court. Ended up trying the Original Chicken Tender and ordered their Crispy Chicken Salad. Chicken was indeed crispy, but the amount of chicken was scarce, the size for the price of the salad was extremely disappointing, and the rest of the salad's fixing left a lot to be desired. Service was friendly, but that honestly was the only highlight to that meal. I understand the prices will be elevated being that it's Las Vegas and on The Strip, however, the salad was so underwhelming on several accounts. How do you even really mess up a salad (lol)? If you are forced to eat from the Food Court at the MGM Grand, there are several other choices that are much better in that area. Skip out on the Original Chicken Tender. read more

Not horrible but for the price, just walk to Raising Canes at the Showcase mall. I can't imagine why anyone would pick this place over them, so save your money. read more

Quick, easy and does the job. If you're in a time schedule or don't feel like walking to anything else this will be your holy grail. The sauce options are great and the prices are average for what ya get. I enjoyed it for being a simple food court option read more

Original Chicken Tender - 4 Tenders fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I needed to grab a bite before heading to the airport and this food court was closest to my room. There were many options but chicken tender and fries sounded good. I went with a three-piece, fries, and water which rang up to almost $20. It took a little bit of time to get my food but it was freshly made. The fries were good and the chicken was okay. I had to ask for honey mustard on the side. The tenders are quite small, enough for one person but not two. An average chicken tenders meal in my opinion. Overall, the customer service was good. read more

Just okay. More a place to grab a snack to soak up the booze, than a place you'd really want to have a full meal. But yeah, if you don't want to drop $150 on a 'meh' meal in one of the sit-down places in the casinos, it's a relatively cheap option, and it's... well... just okay. Drinks here are VERY expensive, so keep that in mind. You'll pay as much for a White Claw here as you'd pay for a nice cocktail elsewhere. read more

Saddest looking chicken tenders. Each tender was approximately 4 inches in length and very bland. The coating was nowhere near crispy. One tender cost $4.50....go somewhere else. read more

I'm giving a bad review because the prices were DOUBLE what is listed here. A five piece basket, large drink and one sauce was over $31!!! This is why locals don't go to the strip and why visitors are down (it's not because of tariffs!). It's just greed. read more

Reasonably priced food inside the MGM Food Court. Chicken tenders and fries were on point. Coleslaw and Texas Style Toast were filling. Just enough food before the pool. Friendly and hard working staff. They deserve a mention. The original sauce and honey mustard were perfect with my meal. Ended up buying the refillable cup so you might see me at the restroom several times over the next 24 hours lol. Cheers! Vegas Baby! read more

3.5 Stars: The MGM Grand Original Chicken Tender is pretty good.    On Valentines Day Sunday which centered a three day weekend leading off the Chinese Lunar New Year 2021 and President's Day; the Las Vegas Strip was back to its happening pre-pandemic days. Unfortunately the restaurant capacity wasn't. On a Sunday when the Boulevard was bumper to bumper and social distancing was challenging; the restaurants were at 25 percent capacity. My brother tried several restaurants from the Fashion Show to the MGM Grand. They were booked up. So, my brother and yours truly set off for the MGM Grand Food Court Nathan's. During the Coronavirus 19 Era, 7 pm now passes for late night dining. Nathan's had just closed. On the contrary, my appetite was open. Landing what seemed to be the last available table on the Las Vegas Strip, it was either the MGM Grand Food Court Johnny Rockets or trying the Original Chicken Tender. We chose the later.      There is very little information on Google regarding the Original Chicken Tender. Although I saw locations in the Venetian and Mandalay Bay, the web site only lists theuxor and MGM Grand locations. I have no clue if this is a food court operation or an established restaurant. What I do know is that the prices went up drastically since the website posted the menu and some of the Yelpers posted pictures.    Located in the MGM Grand Food Court, the Original Chicken Tender is a fast casual restaurant. Customers order and pay at the counter and pick up the food when the beeper goes off.     In my opinion, it is overly pricey for fast food. I paid $12.95 plus tax for a five piece chicken tenders with fries and one original chicken sauce and $3.98 plus tax for what seems to be a twenty ounce drink. It came out to $18.38. Now if they did not run out of coleslaw, I would of paid over $20 for having Cole slaw and Texas toast added on. I know this is the Las Vegas Strip, but still that cannot be an excuse for sky high pricing for fast casual food court food. Up the Boulevard Chick-fil-A charges around $10 for a chicken Nugget meal, In N Out is less than $10, McDonald's charges $10.50 for a large 10 piece Chicken McNuggets Meal, the Venetian Food Court Panda Express is less than $15, a prime rib special in Cafe Hollywood is $14.95, and a Grimaldi's personal pie with a topping and bottomless Coke is around $20. I am not buying this "It's on the Las Vegas Strip" excuse. However what I am buying is food to fill me up.      The five piece chicken tenders with original sauce and fries were better than I expected. What I expected was a generic overpriced yet filling chicken tender. The chicken tenders with the original sauce were flavorful. I really appreciated the crispy coating. Additionally they were cooked just right and were not greasy. These chicken tenders give Raisin Cane's a run for the money.     The man at the counter was pleasant. When I returned to get two new straws because the paper straws had holes in them, he gave zero hassle. He also bestowed my brother with a complimentary refill.    As far as environment it has the MGM Grand Food Court vibe. After serious detheming, the MGM Grand has an okay vibe. Nothing like eating in the Venetian. At the time of our visit, the food court staff was taking social distancing very seriously. With the number of tables I saw closed off, it is convincing that they were at 25 percent capacity. In similar fashion to the rest of the MGM Grand, there were hand sanitizers. Complying with the state directives, everybody was wearing a face mask except when they were drinking and eating.    When all is said and done, I do not see myself returning here for awhile. In my opinion there are far more places on the Las Vegas Strip that I prefer to spend $20 or a few dollars more at. This is not putting down the Original Chicken Tender. When all is ultimately said and done for this review, I rate the Original Chicken Tender as 3.5 Stars: pretty good. read more

This place was absolutely terrible. Even in my darkest times, if i was starving, like gandhi on his 40 day fast, I WOULD NEVERRRRR fuckinv touch that bop ass chicken tender. this chicken tender, was raised in the bc era. from the service to the food, this place was absolutely terrible. the ambiance is crap. never go to this place ever not even if you're starving. ps george you're my opp. read more

Hubby and I were going to pick up our friends from Wet Republic and were informed that some of them needed to sober up. We stopped by the food court and chicken and waffles sounded like it would hit the spot. The man behind the counter was so friendly and we were having a conversation while I was ordering. After a couple of minutes, our food was ready. The chicken tenders were super hot and crispy. It came with a sauce that paired well with the chicken. The waffle didn't have a crispy outer edge which I usually prefer in a waffle, but the taste was so good that I didn't care. There was no syrup on the side, but there was a sprinkling of powdered sugar on the waffle so that gave a nice sweetness to the waffle. If I'm back in this food court, I would come back here for sure! read more

Original Chicken Tender - Chicken and waffles. Super yummy! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The Original Chicken Tender is located inside the MGM Grand Food court. The food is comparable to Raising Canes. Prices not so much. They are higher as one would expect being inside a casino. The food is made fresh for every order. Wait time is 12+ minutes depending when you're ordering. I've waited up to 20 minutes at some points. They offer a variety of hot to the tenders & have a good selection of sauces. Fries tend to be extra salty. Request less salt for better tasting fries. The chicken tenders are hot, soft and tender. It's in the food court so seating can be limited based off time and what's going on at MGM. read more

Do no recommend eating here came with my family and all of us got food poisoning from the chicken tenders we didn't even eat all the chicken tenders there were mushy and the breading was falling off of it and they were hella taxing $23 for 5 chicken tenders is crazy 0/10 go somewhere else . read more

Food was hardly edible. It was around lunch time so you think the food would be fresh. NOPE! Tenders were old and super breaded. Would not go back. read more

Couldn't believe this place was so good. We had the two meals of Groupon for $20. The chicken had the prefect crunchy breading not too much and not too little. Food was at perfect temperature. The bread was moist and the fries were crispy. And all the sauces you could ask for! Especially the orange sauce that you dip with your fries and chicken . So yummy! Make sure to ask for extra. Service was good and location was easy to find. Last meal before leaving Vegas and I simply enjoyed it greatly! A must from now on. read more

The chicken is amazing but I do have a complaint... you get one small sauce cup. Even with a $20 dollar combo. I wanted an "original" for the tenders and ranch for the fries and it would be an extra 50c. And you find out after you have paid. I understand if I asked for 5 but 2??? After spending 20 bucks? Seems a bit stingy. One cup isn't enough for 3 tenders. And good luck trying to find out who manages the place. The website has no info and very old pricing. So in conclusion, great chicken... expensive... bad policy on sauce. read more

Chicken was hot fresh and crispy! This was a great place to eat at late at night after drinks! The service was fast too! The tossed tenders sauces were good! A must have! read more

Closed at 11:45! Never good to come between a man & his fried chicken. Google had wrong directions to food court. Got there at 11:46.

I was in need of a quick meal after a long day and there as aass a food court inside MGM where I was staying. I'm not sure this place is a franchise since I have never seen this name before. The cashier who took order was nice. But the food took over 10min when they had no customer before me lol. How? I don't know. Their chicken was soft, and nicely cooked, just what you expect from chicken tenders. Surprisingly their fries were really good as well. My co-worker ordered sweet potato fries and those were delicious too. The dipping sauce they use is a must! Is the price expensive as people say? Hmm yes and no. I mean I live in Hawaii so I didn't really find it that bad, and my 9 dollar 3 pieces chicken tenders and fries did fill me up. I think maybe if the price includes a drink then would be perfect. 4 dollars for a bottle of water is way too much. read more

Hey. Heads up. If you are at all drunk or Awesome in Las Vegas, you better get your sweet ass to "original chicken tender" in the MGM Grand. Joey is a fucking hero.

I got the three piece meal and i was sad.. maybe im too use to canes but this is disgusting compared to it. The tenders had no flavor what so ever and the fries were hard. I was like alright ill give the coleslaw a chance... even worse had a funky taste to it like sour. Many other options to eat but k do not recommend this. read more

Honestly, this is probably the best Chicken Tenders I've ever had... they're so fresh and tasty. They're fried perfectly and have a crunchy but soft batter - if that makes sense! They're located inside the MGM Grand Food Court. It closes at midnight so you can't utilize this spot for late night drunk munchies (bummer!) Price is expensive, but so is everywhere else in Vegas... TIP: There are coupons on every single tray in the foodcourt, pick them up and save money here. I believe it's a 50% off and a discounted milkshake. read more

By far, best chicken tenderness I've ever had. I come to MGM just for them.

T he manager still knows how to take care of the customer. In this day thats hard to find great job

We expected plain and regular chicken tenders... these tenders are amazing! They are light, fluffy, crispy and not too over salted! They are freaking delicious! As are their French fries!! Coming back every day we are here!! read more

Superior service! Above and beyond. Meal was so fresh and crispy. I highly recommend this restaurant

I wasn't even hungry but thought I'd better eat something before heading back up to my room, which might just be a 10-15 minute walk from the food court. We ordered the 5 piece combo which came with 5 tenders, fries, toast, coleslaw, and some type of sauce. The chicken tenders were so moist and delicious on the inside, so light and flaky on the outside. I enjoyed the tenders way too much to even consider dipping them in the sauce. I dipped a fry instead. Delicious! The fries and the sauce!! The coleslaw...well, I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised at the crispness of the cabbage, and the perfect balance of sweet and vinegary (if that makes sense). It was just the second best coleslaw I ever tasted in my life, is what I'm trying to say. This platter was pretty pricey, but it may be because it's in the MGM. read more

Got the 5 piece chicken tender with the fries. It was pretty good hangover food; it was fresh and really hot (temperature-wise) too. And the sauce went great w/ the order. Customer service was good. read more

Very tasty. No customers so I was apprehensive (other options in this food court all had lines and customers waiting)...but I took a chance. Order took less then 2 minutes which means it was ready under a heat lamp before I ordered. Friendly, polite and professional staff. Dipping sauce tasty. Would eat again for sure. read more

This place was in the food court at our hotel in the MGM. One of the many places we had in the food court. How can you go wrong with chicken tenders? I ordered the 3 strip plate which came with a side. It usually comes with fries but I decided to swap those out with the mac and cheese. It added to the price, but I wasn't really feeling fries at the time. The tenders were pretty good. Better than a lot of the ones I've had out there. The chicken was fresh, moist and tender. Where most get it wrong is in the breading. Some can be too hard and dense. The breading on these were great, not too soft or too hard, just right. Which makes chewing easier. The seasoning was good too, I hate when chicken tenders are too salty, but these were also in good proportion. The mac and cheese I got was good as a side and fulfilled my craving, just wish the portion was bigger for it. Overall, a good choice for a quick bit to eat if you are nearby in the hotel. read more

Jonathan was so helpful! I had a few questions regarding the menu and he was very informative. The chicken tenders were delicious! 10/10 recommend :) read more

The chicken tenders were wonderful, unfortunately that's where the good news ends. Customer service was awful, the woman who took the order seemed like she had no idea how to work the register. Food took longer then expected. Asked for well done fries, instead I got what tasted like day old soggy fries, which they didn't even try to make well done. Asked for togo order, was handed a tray, when I asked for a bag, they just dumped the food in sideways, dumping it on the bottom of the bag. While the tenders are very good, they were on the small side. read more
