| - I love Chilly Jilly'z! We stopped here specifically just for Dole Whip after a hike/walk near Lake Mead, but ended up having to get the broasted chicken since I've never tried it before. Service was a little slow, but they were pretty busy and seem to make everything to order - their huge salads aren't premade and they were even chopping lettuce.
This was a day of firsts - my first ever Dole Whip and broasted chicken. I've heard people raving about Dole Whip forever, but I've never bothered getting it at Disney. I got the float, which is pineapple soft serve w pineapple juice dumped on it. - very refreshing and fruity (would be great w/ some vodka or rum), but it's not something I need to get again. I don't really get all the hype, but it was good.
Their broasted chicken is supposed to be just like you would get it anywhere else since I read that you had to use their spices and marinating process if you buy their equipment and use the name. It's pressure cooking the chicken with oil, which makes for really juicy chicken that's also crispy but less oily. The seasoning was way way salty, and I can kind of see why the menu says no msg - I would've assumed it was msg chicken otherwise. Even the breast meat was incredibly juicy and moist so the cooking method is a success, it's worth giving it a try if you're in the area - I don't think I've seen anywhere else in vegas that does broasted,
All of the food I saw other people order looked great, and points for baking fresh bread even for the sandwiches. As mentioned, service was pretty slow, but they were all super sweet, and I think it was Jilly (?) walked around to make sure each table was doing ok and whether they needed anything. It was a lot better customer service than I would've expected for such casual dining. Boulder City isn't somewhere I go to often (this was maybe my 3rd time in 11 years), but I'll be sure to stop at Chilly Jilly'z the next time. They also have a drive thru and delivery within the area.
