Charlotte, North Carolina-based fast-food chain Bojangles opened a new restaurant complete with a full-service bar on the Las Vegas Strip on Oct. 7, marking the company’s first foray into alcohol sales.

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 TVs throughout, which “give the restaurant a distinctly Vegas vibe,” the company’s news release stated.

The company also operates franchises of brands such as Jimmy John’s, Arby’s, Starbucks and Dunkin’.

Founded in Charlotte in 1977, Bojangles’ menu centers on Southern classics like fried chicken, biscuits and sweet tea, among others.

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 include 890 restaurants in 24 states, according to the company.

A primarily Southeastern chain, the company 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.

“Our recent expansions into markets have been met with tremendous enthusiasm, and we are confident that the community will embrace our delicious offerings with the same excitement,” Davis said.
