    Mac and cheese chicken
    Jennifer M.

    I could see why people like this but I certainly didn't. Their Mac and cheese chicken looked like throw up and had way too much sauce.

    Some of the best hot chicken in Reno! I have been coming to this location for about two years now and have always walked always saying it's some of the best fries in town. Very well seasoned and huge portions! The service is always very fast and on point with a special requests I make. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is their newest one but it's always very clean inside and staff is super nice!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This is how Yelp Elite events help family owned businesses long term. We are hardly ever in the South of Reno, but I found myself scrolling thru Yelp looking for somewhere to eat. We are familiar with Crazy D's from the events at the original shop, and knew we couldn't go wrong. Just like everywhere the prices have gone up, but the quality and quantity are still great. 3 people around $60, but that was everything, and we all had leftovers. Congratulations on the new locations, including the onE near UNR.

    Crazy hot? Yeah but don't be afraid because it's delicious. No lie. I was asked about changing my order no less than 6 times, and after watching the cook make my order with a shirt over his nose, I thought about it, but it proved to be perfect for me, just as I remembered before. Now I won't recommend crazy to anyone who says "oh I like spicy" because this is another level of heat and you need to be prepared. You'll smell it before you see it. You'll feel it before you eat it. And it'll linger with you for quite a while. But it's a pleasurable pain that builds on itself as you enjoy it, and when combined with their house sauce, it fades to the perfect background note of fire I love in spicy food. Smelling the aromas of the fiery seasoning on the ride home had me a bit teary eyed, both from the anticipation of the food I'd be enjoying and the super spice level I chose, and admittedly I was a bit nervous! That was amped up after licking my fingers from placing the giant tenders in the air fryer to warm up, being met by a wave of heat I wasn't quite ready for I guess. But after cutting the tenders up (recommended just because they're massive) I loved every bite of them! So if you think you can handle the heat then crazy it up, otherwise enjoy it how you like it!

    It's good to try different chicken sandwich places to compare. Crazy D's has a thick, breaded chicken with a kick to it. We got the mild spice, and I can't imagine what the hot is like. The fries are good when fresh, and they give some dressing with it. Yum! It's a different kind of chicken sandwich, so you just have to give it a try!

    Revised: Crazy D's sells fried chicken tender sandwiches. Giant spicy ones. I ordered mine mild but it was still too spicy for me. I guess I could order it without sauce next time and see if I like it. Also, I wish this chicken had a lighter batter. Usually I prefer less batter, but I'm sure others like the crunch. Just a personal preference. On a positive note, the fries were good, the cashier was friendly and the seating area was clean and comfortable.

    Disappointing. Last two times I've had Crazy D has been a let down, especially paying nearly $19 for the meal. The portion size has went down, they should change the pricing to reflect it. Crazy Mac was watery and lacked flavor. As you can see in the picture, the plate wasn't even covered. Both times the food was cold, like the Mac and cheese was in the fridge and scooped out. Big let down from a good spot. Don't know if they changed ownership or management, but quality needs to improve.

    Love love love their chicken. Nicely seasoned and the spice is on point. I always get combo #2 medium for $15.95+tax. It's honestly a good price since it's 2 sandwiches and some fries. My husband and I always share. Their comeback sauce is so delicous, that I definitely have to order an extra. Their employees are welcoming and attend to you quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small restaurant but it's still a good place to take a group of 6 people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I definitely recommend this local hot chicken spot!

    Solid edition, the chain lineup in South Reno. Normally this wouldn't be my choice, but I've got…read moreyoung kids and they are all about the chicken tenders. Luckily, the ones here at Slim Chickens are fresh and well seasoned, and it come with a range of delicious Housemade sauces that made for a great experience each time. Unintentionally the spot has become our go to value meal when the kids are pleading for us to take them out for lunch for dinner. The Sunday special where a kid meal is $1.99 with the purchase of an adult meal has become a once a month treat. Having the app also has exposed to other unique offerings and their newest menu addition too. They've been doing a lot of solid digital marketing in the general vicinity as well and I often find great value offerings through that channel as well. Most recently that was discovering the 20 piece boneless Hall, which for $10 was enough to feed both of my kids or me a little snack and one of the kids as well. Four stars is because sometimes the offerings shown online are a little tricky to find either in the app or at the kiosk in store. I've had to start orders on the kiosk, then abandoned them and then head to the cash register where the friendly staff is more than willing to jump in and help me locate exactly what I'm talking about. They've never seemed to not know about a promotion which I do really appreciate. The chicken tenders are usually well cooked and crispy and juicy, but I do find them a bit on the salty side personally, some of the sauce is also fall a little bit flat. I tried the cayenne ranch last visit and thought it barely had a kick or any flavor beyond being just a loser style ranch dressing. The fries are really weird. I think they need some work unless I say something specifically I feel like I always get the end of the bachelorette prize they're warm, not hot but they're limp and often quite greasy if I ask them well done or Crispy I feel like they get overcooked so I just don't know at this point how to best enjoy the french fries here. All that service is always 100% and the staff is always able to put a smile on your face. My kids ripped through the sauces and the staff never hesitate to hook them up with extra one or two and they always treat them with the same respect, they would treat us at the counter, which I greatly appreciate. Again, I'm very solid addition to self Reno from Guy Wootan. I'm happy my kids dragged me in the first time and will continue to visit in the future.

Slim Chickens might be called "slim" because their portions leave a lot to be desired. Overall portions are too small and items are very overpriced! I ordered the wrap and it cost over $10 for the wrap alone. It came out and the wrap was max 6 inches long and very small, hardly any chicken and used too much ranch (probably to cover the dryness). It was gone in a few bites. For reference, the sauce cups are the small sauce cups that hold maybe a tablespoon of sauce. The wrap was barely the size of a snack wrap. Do with that what you will. Kind of a rip off.

That would be a mistake about Krispy Krunchy Chicken, located INSIDE the 76 station at Mt Rose Hwy and Thomas Creek. We ordered the 4 piece Meal, to give a try. The meal came with dark meat only, with two drumsticks and two (huge) thighs. We ordered the Red Beans and Rice, and the meal came with their sweet biscuit. The chicken pieces were, well, just huge. The chicken was juicy. The skin was rich with flavor and had a crispy snap. Delicious. The chicken must be injected with some "secret recipe" because all the pieces had a reddish tint to the juices inside. I'm all for it. While the chicken was pretty good, the same can't be said about the sides. The Red Beans and Rice, was some kind of beans topped with white rice. This dish certainly did not scream "New Orleans" to me. The Mashed Potatoes and gravy, while generous in portion lacked a level of texture and flavor to be considered good. The biscuit was topped with a honey glaze. I'm sure some with like the sweetness but for me, not the best biscuit (by far) That said, if we are looking for good fried chicken, Krispy Krunchy Chicken is a solid option. I would just pass on the sides.

They just add some spicy seasoning to the regular chicken. This doesn't allow even coverage. If the breading was a spicy breading mixture versus spicy seasoning it would work better. Some of my chicken had no spicy seasoning and some one piece seemed to have most of it in one spot. I do think their tenders are some of the smaller pieces compared to other chicken places. I also tried the key lime dessert, it was so sweet I couldn't have more then one bite.

So the place was naturally clean because it's brand new, and the employees were good. Kind. The food is made to order, so it comes out fresh and piping hot. I ordered the cayenne ranch chicken sandwich and a order of okra. The seasoning on the breading of the okra is non-existent. My sandwich in my opinion is pretty small for the price, but it tasted good. Not the best, but not the worst either. I typically use Louisiana hot sauce on my okra, but I don't think they have that here, but they didn't even offer any ketchup or ranch so I had to go back inside and ask. I can say I tried it. It's definitely not a place that I'll specifically leave the house to go to, like Burger King, or Dave's Hot Chicken. But if I happen to be in the area and I'm super super hungry and my only option is Sonic and McDonald's, it might be McDonald's, but it might not be. ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

The…read morelast time I visited this location was somewhere between 3-5 years ago, and enough has changed to write about it. Food: And this time, it seems that the the Cane's sauce containers have gotten smaller, which really hurts! It sucks when companies charge the same price but decrease the portion sizes. It gets on my nerves a bit more than I'd like to admit. The chicken itself had little flavor, but when dipped in the Cane's sauce, offered the salty and delicious flavor that I remember. Good crisp, and cooked well. Cooked all the way through without being dry. The side fixings were delightful. Texas toast, coleslaw, and fries made up most of our plate. The Texas toast is crispy, buttery, and warm, everything I could ask for really. The fries served here are your traditional crinkle cut. It's not my favorite style of fry, although I appreciate how thinly they're cut, so they get a more even cook. Of course I paired it all with a side of sweet tea. It's as tasty as I remember it being, and the ice is the small and rounded shapes that make it really fun to drink from. Service: We were helped pretty quickly, and able to find a quiet corner of the indoor seating despite it being a busy lunch time around 1 pm on a Friday. At times, it was a bit too busy for my liking around the service counter waiting for our food. Otherwise, we enjoyed our table and hung around for a little bit after finishing our meal. If I'm going out for some chicken tenders nowadays, I think I would rather support local and go to somewhere like Crazy D's. I like the crispiness of their chicken better as well as the flavor. At Cane's, I appreciate the quantity and quality you get for the price, but I'd rather pay more or the same for a better quality chicken tendy!

They were just waiting on the toast. Few moments later the food went to the trash as the other person didnt see the ticket and assumed it was excess from the large varering order. Not sure how she confused that as catering orders are in different containers. When he saw that he told her was that my order. She apologized and he showed her the app order. As the app doesn't show if you upgrade the drinks they have us the normal size drinks. She did give some extra sauce. Hence the second star in this review. For overall the food quality is always consistent. We love the chicken and the canes sauce. I love the tea and always upgrade if we order pickup. We waited another 15 to 20 minutes. As of course this was dying the canes rush hour. The waiting and service confusion is the reason. Why they get a low score. The food and other members are most likely fine. I understand there was another order, but next time confirm with your team before scrapping food and the ticket. Im still confused on the entire incident. Can't do anything about it. Also if you have a complaint. The email receipt says to complain to the store that serviced you. I dont see how they can help if they lost our ticket order. How can you trust it. So if you want canes. Don't order ahead. Just go in person. Some reason you dont have order issues. If you do, typically someone corrects it. I thi k she was trying her best. Just frustrating. Still go and support. They are an awesome team. There are just some off days. We will still go and enjoy as long as this doesn't happen again. They seem to forget something all the time. Anotherni cident prior to this is one kiddo got a toy and the other didnt. So check your to go meals. I didnt for this instant it was my fault. We were running late to the kids school lunch day eith family. I had a meeting go a little over and needed to make sure we made it within the window. Luckily. Our little.one didn't get jealous the other one got a toy. Also its super busy here and gets loud on Fridays and the weekends. The cars also wrap around the parking lot. So dont park closest to the building. You may never get out.
