"A casual chicken-tender spot from the Black Tap team, located next to Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer, focusing on approachable fried-chicken tender offerings." - Melissa McCart
"From the people behind Black Tap Burger, Tender Crush is a restaurant where you can crush some chicken tenders. The Soho spot is the Las Vegas brand’s second location, though their sauces sound like they asked a chatbot to come up with New York-based themes. Think Harlem Hot, Jackson Heights Heat, and sides like Williamsburg Waffle Fries, and Tribeca Truffle Mac. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"A New York–style chicken tender concept from the founders of Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer, Tender Crush offers a tight menu of super-tender, crunchy chicken strips in a variety of bold flavors — each seasoned with hot chili oil Nashville-style and dusted with seasonings — including a Korean-style tender with a hot kimchee dry rub and a Thai-style one with Szechuan peppers and fresh cilantro; the spread of dips features a bird pepper fermented hot sauce with a noticeable heat, and the menu also includes boozy and non-alcoholic slushies topped with frozen custard and an impressive warm blueberry lemon doughnut." - Janna Karel
"I'm looking forward to Tender Crush, a New York–style chicken-tender concept from the founders of Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer, which will be one of the new vendors inside the Canteen Food Hall." - Janna Karel
