Slim Chickens,

"EDIT: my 3rd visit and they are losing my faith. Going downhill for me. I think the food was better when they first opened. This time I got a Buffalo Wrap. This is nowhere near restaurant quality like my first visit. This is truck driver food. My wrap was a chicken tender cut in half and rolled up. This would have fit perfect in my 2 y/o grandson's hands without dropping any of the contents. I added a pic. ORIG REVIEW: This was my first time eating at a Slim Chickens. The food was fresh. The food tasted good. Chicken was moist and juicy. I actually commented that I felt that my chicken sandwich was equal to what I would have received in a restaurant (exceeding the bun- pic) and I just didn't have to pay for a table service restaurant price. My second time here (now) was equal feelings on taste, freshness, etc... except this time, I felt my sandwich was more fast food. Chicken was smaller than the bun. I could eat it with one hand if I needed to. Brownies are really good! Service has been excellent both times. Facility is clean. My only take away is 1- the front counter person put a medium cup inside a large cup. He must have been double checking that he gave us two cups and used his fingers inside the medium cup to pull it out of the large cup. Then let it drop back in and handed it to us. I could have done without his fingers in my cup. He also talks very low and is a little difficult to understand what he's talking. But he's super friendly and polite. And 2- I wish that restaurants would stop using these metal trendy chairs. Larger, wider bottomed humans do not fit comfortably in them. I am here right now and observing 3 men who are shifted forward in their chairs and I myself was lucky to get a booth. I'll be back though."

"Great first experience. I got the Mac n cheese tender bowl and the fried pickles. It was filling. Great service. Nice variety of options."

"They get 3.75 stars from me. The fries and ranch were really good. The chicken sandwich was eh. I was expecting crispy chicken (it’s in the name) but the batter isn’t crispy at all. It’s like Zaxby’s. The chicken was thinner than one side of the bun. The bun tasted like Texas toast which I didn’t like because the garlic caught me off guard (this is not in the item description.) Would I try it again? Eh maybe"

"Affordable and healthy food options. Featured in the pics is the Slim Salad which comes with a medium drink plus I added the fried mushrooms. The mushrooms were lightly breaded and seasoned well."

"Great place to grab a quick bite and have delicious food. I tried the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. It was served on a heavenly buttered bun with slaw and pickles. I would order this again, my friend ordered the tenders and they looked really good too. They have jarred desserts, layered with whipped cream and extra thick milkshakes. Might as well get something sweet while you're at it."
