Bojangles opens Las Vegas Strip restaurant with full bar — a first for the chain
Charlotte, North Carolina-based fast-food chain Bojangles has opened a new restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip, complete with a full-service bar — the company's first move into alcohol sales. The restaurant opened on October 7.
LV Petroleum, the chain's Las Vegas franchisee, has about 20 Bojangles locations in the works for the Las Vegas market, Nation's Restaurant News reported.
Aside from the bar, the restaurant is outfitted with a stage for live music, a covered patio and televisions throughout, which give the restaurant a distinctly Vegas vibe, the company's news release said.
Jeanette Davis, senior vice president of LV Petroleum, said in a statement that the company was delighted to add another Bojangles to the Vegas Strip and to bring its Southern charm to the people there.
LV Petroleum also operates franchises of brands such as Jimmy John's, Arby's, Starbucks and Dunkin'.
Founded in Charlotte in 1977, Bojangles' menu centres on Southern classics like fried chicken, biscuits and sweet tea.
At the Vegas restaurant, guests can order from the chain's regular menu, which features items including dirty rice, baked macaroni and cheese, chicken tenders and milkshakes. Breakfast is sold every day until 2 p.m., with options like breakfast sandwiches, biscuits and gravy and hash browns.
Over the years, Bojangles has grown to 890 restaurants in 24 states, according to the company. A primarily Southeastern chain, it has extended its reach in recent years to states like Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas and New York.
In 2025, Bojangles opened 43 new restaurants nationwide, according to QSR Magazine.
The expansion into Las Vegas marks a big move in the chain's growth plan, the news release noted.
Davis said the company's recent expansions into new markets have been met with tremendous enthusiasm, and that she is confident the local community will embrace its offerings with the same excitement.
