| - Well all I gotta say about Nando's is Nan-dont! Take my word on this one folks.
I don't understand what the fuss is all about! Its no better than Christy's Chicken just up the street, I actually prefer Christy's. At least its not a fucking gong show there like it is here!
We went in on a Saturday with 2 other couples and 4 kids and were told that a.) they don't take reservations so its first come, first served and b.) there is only 1 family table (there was another long one in the middle of the restaurant but it was bar height seating.
We head out anyway only to find that the wait is about 30-45min, fine, I drove out from the NW, I had no problem waiting. We put our name down and headed out to our cars because there is no bloody waiting area. Its sheer chaos! There were about 20 people in the doorway, people coming to take pick up orders, people lined up into the dining area placing orders, 3-4 "waitresses" delivering food to people and people everywhere! By the time we sat down it was well over an hour. We had one family make a comment about how we got in before they did and gave us nasty looks all night. The assholes they are, didn't notice that we all were waiting in our cars so our kids wouldn't be a bother to other patrons!! You would think a place this busy would have those stupid flashing coasters and be delicious...nope and nope!
I agree completely with James B on this one, have a bloody sit down service with waitresses instead of this cafeteria get up. We had other families walking in complaining about the wait, practically sitting down as people were putting their jackets on, there was one family that had their spawn running amuck in the restaurant filling up frozen yogurt and pop the entire time we were there and one of the kids got up on the table to dance while the parents were busy molesting each other. Classy. And the piece de resistance was these imbeciles brought in McDonalds meals for their kids! WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT?! AND WHAT KIND OF RESTAURANT ALLOWS THIS?! What irked me more than the table dancing kids and busy-hands parents was there was no one there telling them that this was unacceptable behaviour!!! There was not authoritative figure in the entire place.
The food was below average in my opinion; the Spicy or Hot chicken tasted like Sriracha chicken and the garlic herb tasted like that powder mix you could buy anywhere, it was mainstream grilled chicken with some mediocre sauces that you pick up yourself from a back bar. (note: the bottles are constantly man-handled by other patrons and not wiped down, simply moved from the dining tables back to the community table.) The "family" sized sides are barely enough for two people, the rice was old and dry. The wedges were basically thick cut fries, and the coleslaw and garlic bread were the only redeeming sides.
Kids portions were comical, my 8 year old was still hungry after the tiny drum and thigh meal was served to him with about 12 fries. They don't even get a beverage with the meal, you have to buy it separately ($8.50meal plus $2.50drink is a buck cheaper than an adult meal!!) and they give them an "all you can eat" frozen yogurt cup...btw all the yogurt was done by 7:30 and most of the pop was flat or out of syrup.
No apologies for anything, what a waste of time and money. I would have rather gone to Chianti's or Christies just up the street for a fraction of the price and wait time.
My gut didn't feel right all night afterwards and the next morning I still didn't feel better, total and utter FAIL! How one can mess up grilled chicken is beyond me...if you wanna see this debacle for yourself, then come here on a Saturday for dinner, seeing is believing.
Unacceptable, will never, ever come back. Ever. What a joke.
