Can't ever go wrong with slim chickens! I absolutely love their dipping sauce. Service is amazing! Employees always have a neat smile on their faces even during rushes. Very clean and modern sleek look to the establishment. LOVE the outdoor patio seating.
I embarked on an Adventure call 10 for TEN. 1) It was an INSANE amount of delicious food! By the time I finished the tenders, I was out of tea, I had consumed some of the french fries, and still had (5) delicious wings to conquer. Wonderful food but I was beginning to realize what a decadent meal this was! I suppose we all want to become the Goodyear blimp for a day. As I write this review I am hovering over a football stadium near you. I wish I could say it felt good but that would be lie. I did it to myself and I still love Slim Chickens. I did my right of passage. Too much of a good thing a'int good enough for me!
Had been wanting to try this out and recently was in the area so stopped in. There was no line just before noon. The ordering was simple and they had what I wanted. I ordered 6 wings ($9) and they came extra crispy as I requested (hate soggy skin!), a Strawberry shake ($4 - excellent, with berry bits mixed in), and a Crispy Chicken Sandwich ($5.50). Nothing spectacular, but I have no complaints and won't hesitate to return
This was our first visit to this chain after seeing the owners on FOX News. Although they said they didn't feel others were doing chicken right, I came away feeling they might review what is right while opening additional restaurants. Food was normal for chicken tenders and wings (3+3). Sauces are house made. Tenders were small but that seems to be the direction most chicken restaurants are taking including Chick-fil-a. Bee Gees in Albertville, AL is the exception to small chicken tenders and a great meal for a good price. The young lady who took our order was very helpful and patient. She was also doing the cleanup and many other jobs. The ambiance was great. The fries were good and seemed to be the main item they keyed in on when I took the survey for a brownie. The fudge brownie was an incentive to return.
I came across this place during a Door Dash craving for waffles. It was one of the first places that showed in the feed, so I decided to try their chicken and waffles. They actually had a logo for one of their meals there, so I tried it as well. I believe it was the Chick meal. I actually enjoyed all my food. I see they had a history of bad reviews, but I guess they are working towards improvement. With that said, there was one takeaway.... temperature. Now I tried this delivery and as a drive-through order. The fries come off like they aren't fresh tbh. They are seasoned really well, but they taste like they have been sitting out for a bit. I was disappointed the most when it came to doing the drive through order and still getting luke warm (leaning to cold) fries since i sat in the drive through (right at the window) for a few minutes before getting my bag. I assumed it had to be due to waiting on fries, but i guess it must have been for the waffle. I do appreciate the kindness of the server at the drive-through windows. My only suggestion is that they do better with the cook timing. I dine in, so I don't have any notes from a dine in experience. I'm just happy that the line wasn't long since I see it used to be that way per tge older reviews.
