I heard about this place from a former-Davidson grad who was back in town for a day and drove from South Charlotte to Tenders just for lunch - so I knew it had to be good.
When I was in the area, I made it a point to stop at Tenders for lunch. I stopped on a Saturday around 11:30, and luckily made it there before the lunch rush. Using my handy-dandy Yelp check-in special, I got a combo of three chicken strips, fries & a drink. Oh and a sauce, made-in-house sauce. Mmmm.
My order was up super-quick, so I got to nom those fries right away. The chicken is pretty similar to Hubee D's but the fries were so much better. I got the buffalo bleu sauce, and even though I'm not a fan of bleu cheese, the buffalo-ness (new word) made it delicious.
I will definitely go back if I'm around again to try more of what Tender's has to offer!
