    3 tenders and fries
    Megan V.

    My fiance and I are big fans of hot chicken, so when Jay Bird's opened on our side of town we were excited! It took us awhile to try it, but tonight we finally made it there. It's located right on the intersection of Nellis and Sahara, with ample parking and has outside seating, which is so rare in Vegas! We decided to take our order to go, but they have plenty of indoor seating as well. The menu is pretty simple, but has a variety where there is something for everyone. We both opted for the 3 tenders and fries, hot level. The price point is so low, especially compared to other hot chicken places, which are essentially double the price. Accordingly, I was a bit skeptical. Our food was ready within 5 minutes and the chicken was still piping hot by the time we arrived home, about 10 minutes later. The fries were lukewarm, however. Unfortunately they didn't give me the smoked ketchup I ordered, but our orders were accurate otherwise. The chicken was so tender and juicy, with a generous amount of seasoning. We were both underwhelmed by the spice level and agreed we'd try the next level up next time as it wasn't spicy at all, at least for us. The fries were okay, nothing special. Overall, this is a great value for your money and is a tasty option, especially with limited options for food on this side of town. We will be back, just a spice level up next time!

    What a nice new gem on the east side ! The food was hot and fresh! The spice/heat was on point ! We ordered the Blazin fries along with some fingers. Chicken size was large and cooked just right! The price is on point as well. Cashier was nice and inviting. Establishment was clean. Definitely recommend if you like a good hot rub ! Only issue that we had was that they mixed up our spice level on our finger order.

    The tenders taste like they've been sitting under a heat lamp for at least 30 minutes. They were over cooked and dried out. The fries were soggy and it all lacked seasoning.

    First foray into JayBirds chicken. The chicken itself, large and juicy. The spicy fries were awfully good as well. If like.me you are.a fan of Nashville hot chicken, order a spice level or two above your normal levels that you would get most other places. For some people this is a good thing, but thought medium would be exactly that, but it was mild at best, tasty but mild. Skip the coleslaw unless you are getting it on a sandwich. The sauces were also pretty good if not also a bit mild in flavor.

    So glad this location is open! Use to come here all the time when it was farm basket. I missed having an awesome chicken place on this side of town. I'm happy to report this place is awesome. The baby jay sandwich I tried yesterday is huge! It's also very flavorful. The staff here is super friendly. Almo who helped me up front recommended the blazing fries. So I had those today, another winner. The Mac & cheese is good and creamy. I was also really happy to see Betty is working here. I'll definitely making this a new regular spot.

    3 hot chicken finger combo, ranch, buffalo, smoked ketchup, special sauce, lemonade, spicy fries

    You should definitely try it!! It was really good. We loved the hot chicken fingers and spicy fries! I loved the ranch! The $5 chicken sandwich is a great deal and very yummy. Good prices for everything.

    3 piece chicken tenders ( 2- hot, 1- extra hot (too hot for me, but delicious)  & their spicy fries

    So good! The extra hot tender was WAY too hot for me but they did warn me lol! I will be back! The service was great and the food was fresh and hot, literally!

    Service was fairly quick since I did request an order for four people. They have different heat levels. Fire level is their spiciest and it is way spicier than Dave's hot chicken. So be careful if you think you can handle the heat‍ Chicken was very juicy and breading was nice and crunchy. Good sized strips and reasonably priced. I think 3 chicken strips with fries were around $10-12. I would definitely recommend.

    French fries with side of Buttermilk Ranch and Smoked Tomato Ketchup.

    Total disappointment with the food, though the cashier was friendly and helpful. The chicken sandwich failed completely: the chicken was under-cooked, the breading fell right off, and the requested "extra hot spice" was mild. The mac and cheese filling was entirely flavorless. Sides were poor, too: cold, basic fries and a "special sauce" that was a cheap rip-off (tasting like ketchup and pizza sauce). The ranch was generic. Quality control is seriously lacking. Save your money; this meal is absolutely not worth the disappointment.

    Solo tender plus rice

    Back again since they opened. I got the plain solo tender and fries but changed it to dirty rice. The rice was really good; like Cajun style. Yummy. I'll be back

    We love La Papaya Deli. We especially like that there is a variety of food options to choose from…read more We ordered the chicken torta, chicken panini and a Nutella crepe. As for drinks we got the Messi, mocha frappe. Previously we tried the Energetic and the Vampire juices. Everything was super delicious. We loved that they include chipotle sauce and jalapeños to add to the food. Their prices are also very good. The ladies working were patient at explaining the menu and very kind and welcoming. We have gone twice so far and will continue to keep going.

    I was visiting a neighboring business when La Papaya caught my attention. They serve smoothies,…read morecrepes, sandwiches and wraps. I came on my lunch break as this is just around the corner. I was greeted promptly when I walked in the door by two very nice ladies working the kitchen and front of house. I decided to try their passion fruit smoothie and a tuna Spinach Wrap. The smoothie was made fresh right in front of me. I was very pleased with it as most places that have a passion fruit flavor, usually lack in just that passion fruit flavor. This was just the right texture and flavor. You could also taste the mango and peach they use. The tuna Spinach Wrap was fantastic. Fresh and flavorful tuna, they griddle it to get some nice marks on it. Very nice touch. First impression of this place is definitely a 8 out of 10. I'm definitely coming back to try more menu items. If you're looking for something light, healthy and delicious to eat make sure you come to La Papaya!
