If you're rolling through Forest City with a craving for comfort food done right, Slim's is exactly…read morewhere you want to land. From the moment you walk in, you get that "you're among friends" vibe--no fuss, no frills, just genuinely good food and genuinely good people serving it. The menu hits all the classics, but everything comes out tasting like someone in the kitchen still believes in doing things the old-fashioned way: hot, fresh, flavorful, and without any shortcuts. The burgers are juicy, the fries are crisp and addictive, and the portion sizes are generous enough that you leave full but still thinking about what you'll order next time. Service is quick, friendly, and attentive in that small-town way that feels effortless. You can tell the locals love this place--and after one visit, it's easy to see why. Slim's is one of those spots that proves great meals don't need to be complicated, just made with care. Whether you're a traveler, a regular, or a hungry geocacher between finds, Slim's is the kind of place you'll be glad you stopped at. Highly recommended!

If comfort food and good vibes ever had a rowdy little love child, its name would be Hoot Nannie…read more From the moment we walked in, it felt like stepping straight into the coziest Southern restaurant/bar if that grandma also had a killer playlist, a sassy sense of humor, and a talent for feeding people until they're blissfully immobile. The food? Spectacular. Every plate that came out looked like it had been handcrafted by angels who apprenticed in a BBQ smokehouse. The portions were the perfect mix of generous and "you're definitely taking leftovers home and happily eating them cold at midnight." And the flavors? Mercy. One bite in and you're suddenly questioning why you ever wasted calories anywhere else. The staff deserves special mention (Jada) friendly, hilarious, and quicker than a hummingbird after a double espresso. They made the whole meal feel like a celebration, even though all we celebrated was how fast we could inhale dinner. Whether you're craving hearty home cooking, a place to laugh with friends, or just a restaurant with a name that's as fun to say as it is to eat at, Hoot Nannie absolutely delivers. Five stars, two thumbs up, and one very happy, very full customer.

When the waitress checked back I opted for their hand pressed burger that comes with lettuce and tomato and a pickle spear on the side, plus a side of your choice. I added cheese to the burger for a $1 up charge and chose fries for my side item. I was pleasantly surprised this time that the ambiance was not so loud that people would have to yell to talk with one another, it was at a normal restaurant range with the occasional loud laugh or child, but pleasant. My food came within a reasonable time and tasted really good. The waitress checked on me several times and provided refills and the check promptly. For all the above I would have to recommend. However, the cost was $16 and change for cash or $17 with a card (not including a tip). I know that prices are higher on everything, but this is a little much for what I had. And if I had know ahead of time they didn't have Gyros anymore I would have gone somewhere else with as good if not better burgers for a better price.

Love this family friendly local restaurant (Scotts's on Broadway)! My favorite is their Fried…read morechicken special on Tuesdays - in my opinion it is better than KFC. The special comes with 2 pieces of boneless fried chicken breasts, 2 sides, and your choice of a roll or cornbread. However, if that is too much food and you don't want leftovers, you can ask for a 1 piece special as well, like I did tonight. I paired it with fried squash (with ranch), broccoli casserole, and a roll. The service is always great. They check on you and keep your beverage filled (for me that is a Jumbo unsweet tea). Sadly they are only open weekdays. But go check them out, they have different daily specials each day of the week.

The menu reflects the extra charges for dressing or sauces if you want it. The inside is the same as it was, nothing fancy inside. The waitresses all seemed helpful. We tried the chicken wings they were good. The baked spaghetti is almost $10 and you get a small plate and piece of garlic bread and a salad. I tried the ham & cheese sandwich. It was ok, .over all the food was better than we remembered from the last time we went. Ice tea was $3.00 a cup and they serve it in a Styrofoam cup. I think we might go back again and try something else or get some more wings. The blue cheese was good. Glad they are waiting on tables again.

No line ; not busy due to the frigid cold and wind.We ordered 2 BBQ trays: 1 with okra and coleslaw and 1 with okra and fries. Beverages were unsweetened tea and an eggnog shake. We get our orders and proceed to the parking lot to eat our food. We both had our okra but I did not have the fries which were clearly on the ticket. Instead we both had a small cup of " coleslaw" Turns out it was only chopped cabbage. Additionally there were no utensils given to it. I decided to brave the wind and go to the walk up window to correct the problems. I showed the "manager " my ticket and explained that the order was wrong and that the slaw was just chopped cabbage. She went to speak to someone else, came back with 2 cups of corrected slaw and said I "would have to pay for the fries " ( they were already paid for and on the ticket) Morons are running the Forest City operation. 2nd time in a year that this place has been an abysmal experience.

Wings, burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders and sandwiches . But they do a southern style home cooking with specials on Sunday. It changes from meatloaf, fried chicken, fish (whitting) . On to our food. We started with the spinach dip, it is definitely home made, good taste, not the over creamy stuff that's probably frozen. Good cheesy taste and tortilla s are fresh. $6.50 Daughter ordered the 1/4 lb burger with normal toppings, comes with fries for $8.00 plus .50 cheese. We got order of 24 wings, 12 hot buffalo, breaded and 12 lemon pepper, also breaded. The burger is a sad sad excuse for $8. Horrible size it looks not much bigger than a flattened meatball. Wings are good, but came out barely warm and the $4 fry is just a frozen half basket of yuck. So not impressed. They've been open 2 weeks now and only 1 other table of customers at prime rating location. No signage on front of building and the building is WAY off street half hidden by Denny's. I haven't seen much advertisement on social media or in local papers. Good luck getting business . Exactly why previous restaurantt closed. No one knew it was here, but at least the food was better quality at old place.One more thing. Debit or credit card is a 3.5% upcharge.

But I will say this the burger had the good flavoring that you look for in the burger but the size of the burger being smaller than the bun! I will never order the burger here again unless they increase the size of the burger to match the price. And maybe give a cheese options of cheeses and maybe offer to season the fries. The spinach dip was good you could tell it was fresh homemade along with the chips just kinda wish the dip wasn't so greasy. The grease made it look unpleasant to look at. Not much of things from when this location was the draft has changed. There's no personality to make it stand out for what this place was with the past businesses that where here. And when I hear a place called City of Legends it makes me think of New Orleans kind of soul food/bar food but that's just my take on it.

Once seated our waitress took our order. All 3 of us got the fried chicken. They brought out hamburger buns that were toasted nothing on them I guess for our bread with our meal. The chicken was supposed to be a 1/2 a chicken but when it came out the chicken must have died of starvation, the pieces were small ,dry and almost tasted like the frozen chicken. You buy in the store that comes boxed, just not what we have had other places. None of us enjoyed it, they were busy so we just wanted to eat and leave. This is a local place, and no decor very plain inside. I think this place has been here a long time, I was a bit surprised at the reviews because it was not that good, I think all 3 of us will pass on this place.
