I first tired Nevada Chicken Cafe at their location on Sahara Ave and found the chicken to be dry and the side dishes unappetizing.
After reading my review, the owner Nico invited me to the opening of his second location to give his food another try.
At this location, you stand in line and walk past the food before placing your order at the register. I handed the young female cashier my $25 gift card and she said today we have 30% off so you should save the card. I told her that I wanted to use the card today and she told me I was crazy. She seemed very inexperienced in handling customers.
I wanted to sit inside but the sewage smell was so bad I was forced to sit outside on a very hot day. My friend and I sampled the:
Breast meat- more moist than the other location but still bland and skin had a rubbery texture
Pulled pork sandwich- first pulled pork sandwich I have ever seen on sub sandwich bread. Pulled pork was finely chopped and red onions were random
Mac & cheese- bland, watery, the cheese tasted like it had come from a packet
Baked beans- artificially sweet, tasted like it came from a can
Coleslaw- average coleslaw, I have had better at the grocery store
Watermelon- mediocre
Chocolate chip cookie- hard and ordinary
Nico was busy but I wanted to ask him what inspired him to open a soul food like restaurant when it is not his culture.
Overall the food here is ordinary and the majority of it does not taste homemade.
