| - I have to confess, out of all the animal proteins we Americans consume on the norm, chicken is my least favorite. Very rarely have I found chicken that is done in a way that isn't dry, chewy, tough, or just bleh. And considering how cheap chicken is in the supermarkets, I have a hard time convincing myself to pay more than a few bucks for a chicken dish at any place to eat.
On that note, this is what I found to be annoying about Chick & Benny's:
-The chicken is okay--greasy, moist enough, but overally not that flavorful. I felt like I've had better chicken tenders made at home.
-The sauces are pre-made and from packages. You would think if the chicken is just okay, they would at least make the sauces from scratch to help make up for the lack of flavor.
-Everything is pretty much fried on their menu, except for their hotdog thing that was pretty much a hotdog in a hamburger bun.
-Their beignets are way over priced for what they give you. And considering they're just fluffy pieces of dough fried and topped with powdered sugar, I really didn't know what I was paying almost $5 for.
The only good things I really found about this place was the onion rings. They were tasty. If there was something else on the menu that I liked enough, I would come back. Honestly, I think they had their hearts in the right place, but the concept needs expansion or re-thinking. I kind of feel bad about this too, though. I try to support mom 'n pop places like this because I think Las Vegas is a tough place for small businesses. But maybe if things get better I'll give place another try.
