Bojangles has opened its first restaurant with a full-service bar at The LINQ Promenade, giving the chicken-and-biscuit chain a new kind of Strip address. The location began serving customers Oct. 7 at 3545 S. Las Vegas Blvd., near Flamingo Road. It is Bojangles’ second restaurant on the Strip, and the first in the country to feature a full-service bar, according to local reporting.
The menu still centers on the Southern-style chicken, scratch-made biscuits and sides that built the brand. The Vegas twist is the setting: a bar, covered patio, televisions throughout the restaurant and a stage for live music. So, yes, you can get chicken and biscuits in a place designed to keep you there a little longer. Vegas has never met a meal it couldn’t turn into an occasion.
Where is the new Bojangles, and what’s different?
The restaurant is at The LINQ Promenade, the open-air dining and entertainment district along the Strip. Its address is 3545 S. Las Vegas Blvd., near Flamingo Road. The Promenade’s event page lists Bojangles as open, and the restaurant welcomed its first customers on Wednesday, Oct. 7.
The headline distinction is the bar. Local outlets reported that this is the first Bojangles location in the country with a full-service bar. That makes the new restaurant more than another outpost of the chain’s familiar format, though the company’s chicken-and-biscuit identity remains the point. A bar changes the setting, not the basic assignment: come hungry.
The restaurant also has a covered patio, televisions and a stage for live music, according to KSNV and FOX5 Vegas. Those features give it a more expansive setup than the quick stop people may associate with the chain. Whether you want to eat and move on or settle in depends on you. The restaurant has room for both kinds of plans, at least in concept.
Chicken and biscuits remain the main event
Bojangles’ familiar lineup includes hand-breaded chicken, made-from-scratch biscuits, breakfast items, Southern sides and its Legendary Iced Tea. The chain’s menu gives the basics, but the specific food and drink offerings at the LINQ location may vary. The full-service bar is confirmed; a detailed location-specific cocktail list is not something to assume from the word “bar.”
That distinction matters. “Full-service bar” tells you the restaurant has bar service. It does not tell you which drinks are available, what they cost or whether the menu includes a particular Vegas-themed cocktail. If you are making a special trip for a specific drink, check directly with the location first. Nobody needs to cross the Strip on a promise made up in their own head.
What the opening means for the Strip
The LINQ Promenade location joins a growing Bojangles presence in Southern Nevada. The chain’s first area restaurant opened in January 2025 near South Rainbow Boulevard and Blue Diamond Road, and the Promenade location is its second on the Strip. That puts a familiar fast-food name in the middle of one of the Strip’s busiest pedestrian corridors, where a quick meal can compete with casinos, shows and a frankly unreasonable number of choices.
It is an interesting fit, not a guaranteed business formula. A full-service bar can invite guests to stay for a drink, while the chain’s established menu offers a straightforward option for people who came for chicken and biscuits. Whether the combination catches on is for customers to decide. The idea is clear enough: keep the food recognizable, add a bar and let the location do some of the talking.
That is also why the first-of-its-kind detail is worth noting. Bojangles is not simply opening another restaurant in a new city. The LINQ location pairs the brand’s usual menu with bar service and entertainment-oriented features in a Strip setting. It is a meaningful variation on the chain’s format, even if the chicken is still expected to carry its share of the meal.
What to know before you go
The restaurant is open at The LINQ Promenade, at 3545 S. Las Vegas Blvd. The Promenade’s official event page currently lists it as open, but it does not provide the restaurant’s hours or a separate bar schedule. Hours, menus and drink availability can change, so check with the location before planning around a particular service or visiting late.
The opening-day promotion reported by local media was tied to Oct. 7, so it should not be treated as an ongoing offer. For current menu basics, use Bojangles’ official site; for current Promenade updates, check the venue’s event listing. Those are considerably more useful than arriving with a rumor and a strong sense of optimism.
For Strip visitors, the new Bojangles offers a casual chicken-and-biscuit option with a full-service bar, a covered patio and a stage for live music. For locals, it is the chain’s second Strip location and its first bar-equipped restaurant in the country. No velvet-rope speech required. Just check the details that matter to your visit, then decide whether dinner is a quick stop or a longer sit-down.
