| - I am a huge fried chicken fan, so when I saw this restaurant I was very excited to try it. The mainstays of their menu are chicken tenders and chicken sandwiches. I opted for the "blue Ribbon" sandwich, their mainstay sandwich, a side of fries, and a soda (free refills). The total came out to about $16.
The sandwich was good. I didn't think the chicken dry or greasy, enjoyed the seasoning on the breading, and enjoyed the fresh (and cool) lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles against the warmer chicken. Several different sauces are offered, all sweet. I tried them all, none of them wowed me. The fries are shoestring, not my favorite. The soda was...soda. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the service was above average. Being new, the restaurant itself was spotless. What really brought this place down were the prices. I guess I can understand the rents are pretty high at Downtown Summerlin, but close to $16 for a smallish chicken sandwich, shoestring fries and a soda is a lot!
Although there are a few higher priced eateries in Downtown Summerlin than Blue Ribbon, there are a lot of less expensive/better value choices too. On a plus note, all the packaging was biodegradable and able to be recycled!
