This place has become our go-to spot whenever we visit the LEGO Discovery Center next door. It’s super convenient, and the kids absolutely love it. The menu is flavorful without being too overwhelming for little ones, and there are plenty of choices for adults too. One thing I really appreciate is how spacious and kid-friendly the dining area is. There is plenty of room for families, strollers, and all the chaos that comes with hungry kids after (or before) a fun activity. The food always comes out hot and tasty. The chicken is tender, the sides are great (love the corn), and the sauces keep things exciting.

This is one of those situations where I think I came on an off night. I had been wanting to try nandos forever, and let me tell you I could NOT have been more disappointed. I got a simple chicken sando, and an order of wings to go, buffalo medium. The guy taking my order at the front was standoffish. No pleasantries. Whatever, I’m not dining in, not a big deal. The big deal happened after getting my meal. I got to my car i opened the wing box. Three of the wings were burned. Incinerated, while the other side was almost raw in the middle. Proceded to eat two wings that were palatable in my opinion, then took one bite of the flavorless chicken sando and chucked it in the gárbage. Maybe i made a mistake by not ordering the actual quarter or half chicken. My co worker tells me to give them another shot, but go to the gainsville location which is supposedly better. This was really disappointing though, and i probably WONT be returning.

Great spot cool atmosphere. Management didn’t bother me as I had my own JBL speaker and just rocking out at a table. Very down to earth staff. New Thanksgiving time menu options are the TRUTH!!

Give the cooks a raise! Food was 10/10. Employees stopped by my table to make sure the food was good. Manager on duty was professional and made sure customers were taken care of.

Food:
First time here and decided to try a little of everything. I ordered the rainbow bowl, 6 peri peri wings (lemon pepper), and a single boneless chicken thigh (mid+ peri peri flavor). Chicken size is on the smaller side for the rainbow bowl, but I’m assuming you will fill up on the rice, tomatoes, and avocado (healthy portion). The chicken wings had now taste or lemon or herb, but I could taste the grill. It took my single boneless thigh 28 minutes to get to the table, they did add a second for my wait. The mid+ flavor was delicious not spicy at all.
Service: Would have been a 1 or 0 if the extra chicken piece wasn’t given. I got more vibes that this location cares about to go orders than dine in. I did feel like I could have just walked and grabbed my food at the kitchen how nonchalant everything was.
Atmosphere: The overall ambiance was upbeat with good music. the lights are a little dim.

I happened to come by for a Yelp experience around their All the Trimmings bowl, so this is based on that.
I’ve been to Nando’s before and so this event had me curious. First off, SUPER easy to redeem. Staff was great; friendly and on top of things. While I like their food, the bowl exceeded my expectations. I went with medium spicy chicken thighs. Good sized portion with about 1.5 thighs. Nice char. Funny as it may sound, the corn and the stuffing were a big hit. The corn was surprisingly sweet (in a good way). Stuffing was also nice. The mashed potatoes seemed fresh (not instant) and we’re well seasoned. The chilli jam was a unique add, not too spicy, not too sweet (I’m not a fan of cranberry sauce, so this would be something I’d get again.) I’m also always a sucker for hibiscus, so the lemonade was perfect for me.
I’d be up for getting this bowl again.

This place has a great upbeat vibe that really complements the food. It’s a laid-back spot that wasn’t too crowded when we visited. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food felt like a cozy late Thanksgiving meal—served fresh and satisfying. We had fun dipping everything into the different sauces offered.

Stopped in this location on June 6th for what I thought would be quick to go order. It was not that at all. I ordered the chicken thigh skewer with a side of coleslaw. I waited a few minutes to order and when I was ready to order the cashier kept assuming I was with another customer. I told her I wasn’t, she took his order, left and returned to the register three times before taking my order. I waited forever for two items and the slaw was sour or rotten because it smelled horrible. The veggies on the skewer were practically burned not slightly charred. So I threw it away at home. Please check your food temps and ingredients before preparing it for customers.

The chicken here is always tender and full of flavor. I love their sauces! The sides are also great, and give good healthy alternatives. I had the sweet potatoes and a mixed green salad the last time I went. Service was prompt and attentive. Would definitely recommend!
