    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.

    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

    The Nashville sauce is pretty good! This burger revived me after a plane ride from the east coast over.

    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 .

    must try

    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!

    Chicken and waffles. Super yummy!

    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!

    Adeline our server was AWESOME!…read more It can be a bit dim inside so for those who wear glasses, this can pose a bit of a problem hahahaha I was having a hard time reading the menu but Adeline saw me struggling and politely asked if I needed reading glasses since they have some and Thank You, Thank You because I could finally read the menu! Throughout our meal she stayed attentive. I ordered the full GRAND COBB SALAD with chicken, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, bleu cheese, and grated egg. Boy oh boy was it good! Fresh ingredients with the delicious and tangy Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette on the side (my request)! It's enough for 2 meals. The sourdough bread in a basket fulfilled my craving for a carb. Warm and cut into thick slices with butter on the side paired well with the salad.

Seating was quick, water refills infrequent, service checked in often until food dropped. Compatriots had ordered a double smash cheeseburger and a southwest chicken salad. I had gotten the slow roasted beets, and the house green salad. Nothing really wowed in this case. I'd say I like the fries and the slow roasted beets. The cream sauce balanced the beets well with occasional nuts for texture. The house green salad was more lettuce than anything else. The southwest chicken salad, the meat was a bit dry. Still was an easy meal and simple to plan around. Worked well in a pinch.

    So I was in town for an old friend's combination Anniversary/Birthday celebration, and as someone…read morewho grew up on a Midwest cattle ranch I was itching to sample some excellent beef. So I ducked into Black Tap at the Venetian after seeing a Wagyu burger on the menu. Being a lifelong space cadet in both profession (in my 23rd year at NASA,) and mental inclination (no comment,) I'd totally forgotten that I had a hard-and-fast obligation I needed to get to, stat - after having already ordered the Wagyu burger - so I asked the stunning waitress if I could change it to a "to go" order. The staff did not miss a beat, and a done-deal without a single hiccup and I was outta there. I did not have time to eat it so I had no choice but to actually let it sit in the hotel room getting cold - *gasp* - until I could get back to it. Sacrilege, I know, but... no choice. But even eaten cold (thanks TI for no microwaves in the rooms - though microwaves tend to kill flavor so maybe a good thing anyway,) it was seriously tasty and... a tantalizing draw. So the very next day I went back with no obligation hanging over me, and had the exact same thing, this time nice and fresh and hot. And it was, in a word: Sublime. - Cooked to perfection; - Juicy as small-town gossip; - Exploding with flavor in every direction like a Tears of Tragedy guitar solo; - And from a guy who grew up eating hamburgers that were walking around the pasture just a few days earlier, I can tell you with zero exaggeration that this is some truly righteous, farm-fresh beef. On another visit to Black Tap I sampled their chicken nachos - being a gym-rat, nachos are something I hadn't had in years but... it's Vegas and therefore WTH. And that - their nachos with chicken - is another to-die-for thing these people do absolutely excellently. So now I'm back in LA and Jonesin' in a big, big way and... they've got a location down at Disneyland. A bit of a drive but I'm thinking I could be a regular. Folks, if you're looking for some brews and some truly righteous food done excellently, look for this place. Not to be missed.

These host was sensitive to our time restriction. When I looked at the menu the pricing seemed very reasonable for a strip casino. We ordered three things, the chicken nachos, chicken fingers and the Golden Knights shake. Our server Tony was amazing! The chicken nachos were piled high with cheese chicken sour cream, a spicy sauce and everything was made fresh. The chicken singers were obviously homemade as the coding was extremely tasty . The chicken was cooked to perfection. The only thing that caused them to lose points is that they shake was serve served with our food so we had to eat it pretty quickly. I really liked the combination of the caramel, whipped cream, ice cream and black and gold sprinkle sprinkles. The hockey puck which was made out of cake and chocolate fudge was extremely delicious! I really loved that it was not very sweet! I can't wait to come back and try the other items on the menu and it's a wonderful place for a quick bite and good for families.
