Wow. It was advertised to me as “greasy, drunk college kid food”, which can sometimes have an appeal, but I was not prepared for the level of sub-mediocrity.

Of course the thing most people will want to know about is the chicken. They’re not kidding when they refer to their tenders as “Giant”, the tenders are truly huge. Disgustingly so, actually. As a person who has spent a lot of time working as a chef, I couldn’t not think about what they must be doing to chickens to be getting strips that large. The consistency suffered from the size as well. I came in hungry and had difficulty finishing them. As for the heat, when asked how much, I replied “hot”there was practically no discernible heat.

And the service…🤦🏽‍♂️ There was one employee and no other walk-in customer. I was not informed that there were no pickles (1/4 of advertised constituent elements of the combo I ordered) until after I had already paid. The fries were straight up cold. Not lukewarm, cold.

And so, I got a couple of pieces of barely edible chicken, cold fries, and a piece of dry toast for $13.50 (+ tip). Really bad use of my money, particularly in such a restaurant rich environment as downtown Reno.

I usually like to give a spot 2 chances, as even the best of spots can have an off day/night, but it’s highly unlikely that I’ll be heading back to Crazy D’s.
