The Cajun Chicken Sandwich was a good size, fresh and juicy! The fries and lemonade were fresh and tasty. However, sandwich was way too salty, almost tossed it. The fries were way too salty. They need to adjust and reduce the salt levels. The drive thru line was agonizingly slow. The employees didn't seem to get the process, with some walking to every car with order in hand, asking for name. Other customers got the wrong order, which they handed back to the employee, to redistribute... read more

It was cool. I went the first month they opened. The food was ok, but nothing spectacular. There was an in-app promotion that allowed for you to get a free chicken sandwich, but that process was annoying and extremely confusing. First I had to wait in the car for someone to bring the sandwich, but then after 10 mins they said I needed to come in and get it. ANNOYING. So I went inside and waited a few more mins. I understand that they had just opened so I won't hold it against them, but the sandwich wasn't worth all of that. Now the cheesecake jar? YES!!! It was so bomb! I'll go back just for that. read more

This was my first time here. The location is in a nice area. But out of my way. I came out of my way because I received good reviews from friends. The food was just okay to me, however I will try them again. I got the chicken strips with fries and a coke. I will explain later why I added the coke in my review. My husband got the wings with a chili sauce and fries. The fries were pretty good, but the chicken not so much. The strips were seasoned nicely, however the flour coating on them Just didn't stick to the chicken. The chicken wings wasn't cooked long enough. Now to the beverage. The Coke Cola was the best. Considering it was a fountain drink. I don't really drink sodas that much and I definitely don't normally buy them from fast food restaurants, but I must say it was the best part of my visit here. read more

You know what!?!?! I need to stay away from this place. Someone posted how good it was on Facebook so I decided to give it a try. All I can say is...get the chicken tenders with the sweet chili sauce!!! OMG!!! I'm drooling as I type this review. BOMB!!! As picky as my youngster is, he love this spot. I tried curbside but that didn't work out too well. Just go in and order or drive thru. You won't be disappointed. read more

Enjoyed it and I will return , my oldest was only moderately satisfied . (Kids these days don't know good eatin') My only complaint is I specifically asked for coleslaw instead of fries, drive home, look inside -- I got fries and no coleslaw. A brother is trying to cut carbs, help me help myself and cooperate! Next time I'll check the box before leaving. With that error, I still recommend. read more

Today, my elder parents and I decided to check out this restaurant in hopes that we found a new fast food option. I doubt that we will ever return. We ordered the chicken wraps, one grilled and two fried. My parents commented that the fried chicken was TOO hard and we all agreed that the amount of salt was INEDIBLE. If I were closer to the restaurant I would have returned our food for a full refund. Diners beware!!! read more

Slim Chickens - Smokey Cheedar Wrap - Southern Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

Ate here for lunch. Ordered the 6 bbq wings with slaw. It came with fries, but I changes to slaw. When it was brought to the table it had fries. I told the associate I had ordered slaw and proceeded to show my receipt only to find it was rung up with fries. She told me not to worry and brought me slaw and left the fries with me. That's a good correction. All of the associates were polite and helpful. Restaurant is very clean and comfortable. Great variety of drinks. I hope to return when I'm in the area. read more

Seen this restaurant on Til Tok. Decided to check it out. Located in Bowie MD, near the AMAZON hub location on Martin Luther King JR Blvd. They have drive thru and dine in out covered outdoor patio services. We decided to dine in. I decided on the 6 wings meal with fries & drink included. My mom got the Slim Salad ( you can choose from fried or grilled.) She choose the grilled. Included in this salad is greens, tomatoes, fried onions, cucumbers carrots & spinach. Mom really enjoyed the salad. My cousin got the chicken wrap. The wrap is a spinach wrap with fried chicken tenders. Fries & drink included. Our food was fresh and hot. Omg. SLIM CHICKEN yah did the darn thang. Excellent food, exceptional service. Check them out. read more

I do not recommend this restaurant. This was our first visit to any Slim Chickens. We got curbside pickup and actually ordered from the parking lot. The food was mostly good. Everything could have been hotter (temperature). We have never had fried okra. I have no interest in having it again. The breading was bland and the okra inside tasted very grassy. The chicken sandwich was good. It has a proper amount of sauce on it and was as ordered. The mushrooms were good. We could tell they were freshly breaded, but I would have liked to have the sauce with them that I ordered. None arrived. We were in a hurry, this the curbside pickup, so we did not take time to check our order before leaving. The macaroni and cheese was a bit overcooked and .....hard to eat. No utensils were included with our order. We did not overlook them. We were quite thorough. The sauce on the chicken wings was good, honey bard be que, but there was WWWAAAYYY too little. One only had a few drops on it. The others were not fully covered and there was almost no extra sauce in the container. I am not exaggerating. I don't know if they were trying to save money or ran out of that flavor or what. The chicken tenders were as ordered and they were actual tenders. Too often places call chicken strips (slices of breast meat) chicken tenders, but there were freshly breaded and did not need any sauce. We were shorted 2 sauces from the order, but everything we DID get was right. I hope this was a rare fluke, but I see no reason to return.....at least not to this location. Also, it was not busy. I almost went through the drive through but changed the order to curbside pickup, for no particular reason. Check your orders before leaving! read more

Unfortunately, due to a very rude and incompetent manager, my family will not be returning to this restaurant again. Being a nearly lifelong resident from the city of Bowie, I will be sharing with my friends and colleagues how disrespectful the manager was to us during our visit this afternoon. The food wasn't bad, but their team made a mistake in ringing up our items. Rather than apologizing or taking accountability, the manager forced us to spend MORE MONEY and purchase the item we ordered that they mistakenly did not provide. And that was after awaiting an extra 5 minutes for that person's food while the rest of our food was already delivered to the table. Rather than fixing their mistake, the manager accused my husband of trying to get free food from them. The disrespect and lack of customer service will prevent me from returning here again, and I'd advise others consider the same. We work hard for our money, and we don't deserve to be accused of anything over their mistake. It was an easy fix, but nope. Gross behavior. read more

Strike 2 and I'm even more unimpressed.... First time I sat in a really long line (which I expected because... "new food spot" and "chicken" ... and I was anxious to see what was what so I had tenders, wings, chicken sandwich and drinks... My opinion: Everything I ordered lacked flavor.. seriously.. And the tenders taste like they were cooked in yesterday's grease. The slim sauce was bland af The lemonade..... good... The chicken sandwich did not disappoint but honestly it was JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSES.... End of the day I was kind of blown I waited in that line for that... Second try Today I got the fried mushrooms.... Good! Chicken sandwich again... still good Tenders... (garlic parm). Again cooked in week old grease flavor Peach tea flavorless Chicken and waffle.. tiny portion .. Here's the kicker tho I downloaded the app .... Placed the order for curbside so I wouldn't need to go thru that drive thru line... Order placed.. got there and sat in the curbside parking spot for 44 minutes before I finally got out my car to ask the young man where my food was. Food was sitting out... cold. Ice melted in my drinks.. Less than impressed at food quality and service 2 stars because the chicken sandwich didn't disappoint me twice. read more

One of my homies that follow me asked me if I've been to this place yet. I let them know that I was going. Simultaneously I saw another review of this same spot, and it peaked my interest. So I had to go see what was up with @slimchickens on 10200 Martin Luther King Hwy., in Bowie M.D. Just to let you know, this spot is not affiliated with Big Schlim by no means!! So they have chicken wings, boneless chicken, chicken sandwiches, chicken wraps, salads with chicken in it, grilled chicken, they even have chicken and waffles...one thing for sure is that this establishment has chicken!! So let's get into it. I copped their Chicken club sandwich (pictured-Fried chicken breast, with crispy bacon, Monterey Jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ranch mayo on a brioche bun $6), and their 3 & 3 meal (pictured- with 3 fried tenders, 3 wings shaken in Korean bbq sauce, fried pickles, and Texas toast $11.49). Now this meal came with two of their dipping sauces, so I chose the Slim sauce, cayenne ranch sauce, and I got an extra cup of gravy to try out. I also picked up an extra side of mac n cheese (pictured-$2.79), and a Strawberry cheesecake jar desert (pictured-$6). The chicken sandwich was decent, but much better when dipped into the slim sauce. The chicken tenders were decent m, but, again much better when I dipped into the slim sauce and/or the cayenne ranch. The gravy was a tad bit too watery for me, it was decent but if it was thicker I would've stamped it. Now the chicken wings were absolutely delicious! They were fried hard just like I like it and then shandn in that Korean BBQ, made them outright tasty!! The fried pickles I passed on because they were too salty. The mac & cheese... was decent too. Not the best I've had, and a far cry from the worst. Now that Strawberry cheesecake jar desert!?!? STAMP!! That joint was really good!! I'd get it again. Online ordering was simple, and easy. Now when I went to go pick up my order nobody greeted me in my first experience in a new store, I had to figure out where to pick up my order, and when I did get it, there were no napkins, utensils, nor the sauces I ordered in the bag. Parking was ample. That's it. #bigschlimsreviews read more

I visited this location to try out their menu, and I was pleasantly surprised at the food options. Along with general chicken options, they have chicken wraps! I did ask if you can add other items from the menu onto the wraps (e.g. bacon), however the drive thru staff said no because they only have items for specific entrees. I hope that would change after they are open for a little longer. The staff was very friendly, and knowledgeable. I will visit this location soon. read more

I saw a long line of cars waiting to order here so I decided I had to try it. I had never heard of Slim Chickens before so I did a quick online search while waiting in line. A lot of people compared it to Cane's and Zaxby's so I got very excited. I love Zaxby's! I ordered the 4 tenders with fries, Texas toast, and a root beer. This chicken is very lightly coated. Don't expect any sort of crunch whatsoever. It is nothing like Zaxby's. I also tried the slim sauce and I don't like it. The seasoning of the chicken also was slightly sweet? Very strange. My fries were completely cold. I will not be returning. read more

Slim Chickens - Southern Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

The food and the dessert jars are great. HOWEVER, I placed an order for curbside delivery at 2:18pm and was instructed that it would be ready at 2:30pm ( my order was only 3 dessert jars). I arrive promptly at 2:30 & park in the designated curbside space (I was the only car there). Although, there were 2 team members coming in and out of the store delivering food to patrons in the drive thru, no one ever acknowledged me. I even got out the car and asked one of those team members if they could help me...to which I was given the finger (the hold up a sec finger) and he never returned. At 2:50, I proceed to get put of my car again and go inside asking if someone could assist me with my curbside order that I now nearly 20 minutes past the time it was to be ready. A young lady said she would check. At 2:55, a gentleman brings me dessert jars. WTH is the purpose of ordering online and getting curbside delivery if no one is going to acknowledge you? Very disappointed and this is not the first time I've had less than desirable customer service. The food is good however the customer service is trash!!! And I've shared that sentiment with a manager previously. read more

So let me start by saying this place gives me Chic fil a vibes by the way they greet you. I love the fact that they make all of the food to order and don't do frozen. The chicken is always perfectly cooked and the shoe strings french fries are always seasoned. I definitely recommend this place to all. read more

30 minute wait and not worth it. Chick Fil A all day. They get 3 stars because the dessert is quite delicious in the jars.

We tried the new slim chicken and it was amazing the food was hot and fresh, to add me it was seasoned well and had great taste. The staff was friendly and welcoming I will definitely be coming back again. read more

I wanted to try the newly opened restaurant in the neighborhood. The tenders had an awesome flavor....the fries could have been a little warmer. But the ranch was FIRE! I would give it a 5/5 but the wait was certainly lengthy (over 30 minutes). If you have time stop by. read more

Man....went here on the day they opened and me and my family were surprised at the service Love the fact they are employing kids for work experience and the service was fast but the wait was kind long Now the food was good My wife's chicken and waffles she said was good chicken could have had more flavor for her My boys got the 5 and 5(5wings/5tenders) and both liked the food and portions of fries I got the chicken sandwich which I want to say was good but it turned into a picnic on my sandwich So I went BY MYSELF the next day and got another sandwich and it was BANGING read more

Slim Chickens is a restaurant with a nice decor. From the entrance to the counter, the ambiance is inviting to the eyes. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles which also came with a soft drink. Here's the great: the chicken tenders are hand breaded and flavorful. I could tell that the chicken was fried to order. Delightful indeed. The overall meal was underwhelming as a whole. I believe if I had the tenders and fries, the meal would have been a lot better. I suggest wings with the waffle should be an available option. The raspberry lemonade was amazing! I regret not trying all of the homemade drinks. read more

The chicken is fine. Pleased that they are employing young young adults - BUT not interested in sacrificing customer service. Folks need to be trained and expectations for appropriate work behavior need to be set. The wait, however, is a deal breaker. Deal. Breaker. read more

What a nightmare. Drive thru Line logistics are terrible. They really need to figure it out. The food comes out partially while you wait in line. Not sure of this rationale. But I received my food first. And someone else brought out my drink a few minutes later. My sauces and Texas toast were left out of my order. After I alerted someone, they brought it out. I was still in line, so it wasn't an issue. The food is just meh. They are also really stingy with the fries. See the pic. This place is not good enough for me to wait in the drive thru line for 20 plus minutes. read more

I've been hearing so much about this place, via social media. Decided to give it a try. I heard that the lines are typically long so i decided to order online. The food was ready upon my arrival, it's in an easy to spot location. Very clean inside. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The food was nice, and did the job. Certainly not the worst chicken and waffles I've had. Their slim sauce is good! They have an array of sauces for you to choose from. If you are in the area, please give them a try!! read more

Ordered the kids meal great portion sizes and fresh tasty tenders and fries. My son ordered honey hot wings great taste and presentation

The Foodie Critic is Bizaaack!! Na but Fr!!! The first meal I ate for real all day!!!! ‍ I know I know , Anyways I was in the bowie area and I'm like Slim is close!! Lemme go grab something so I went in and found my coworker! So we hugged and chatted for a little then got to ordering!! this whole Wing portions with companies and not giving the "Whole " wing as ONE DAMN wing hurts my soul How can the Chinese & Carryouts do it and The great American places can't IJS!!!... Anyways the man whom took my order Arthur he was very Nice, he let me know of any specials, what pairs well with what, what meals they had for the tenders overall great customer service!. I got a 5 Pc chicken breast tenders & fries with a lemonade!!.. I'm big on Crispiness of the skin no matter chicken, chicken fried steak or pork chop!!. Whatever breading batter is being used definitely keep the vendor!! The skin was very crispy even with the box CLOSED!!! okaaaay, the flavoring from that alone! & you bit into a Juicy literally tender and it's greatness!! No crumbs or big skin pieces coming off that quality batter right there!!.... The chicken Breasts are given in BIG niice sized pieces unlike chick-fil-a giving an adult those little ass kids menu pieces!! I'm definitely for The Win of Slims chicken Tenders/Strips I enjoyed the Mango sauce very much so a kick with flavor. I'd definitely return here for the customer service and chicken Tenders!! So thank you Slim for a Full belly and Good experience!! read more

First, I'd like to add....I'm from the deep south, Arkansas, MS, TN, and Louisiana. My understanding is that this franchise began in humble southern beginnings. So you'd think the people here would be trained, the good ole southern way as a reflection of a southern company. Not! Notice that most of the reviews are based on SERVICE. March 5th Sunday around 12pm. We went to try this place out for the first time. (Check your cameras)The reason I'm writing mainly is to discuss my guest service experience, or lack of. The place was not busy. As a matter of fact, my daughter and I were the only two people dining inside. The team members were talking to one another about others. Second, when my daughter went up to buy more sauce, two team members walked past her NOT acknowledging she was standing at the counter...my daughter is 5'9, so it's not like they could not see her. Not one person for 5 minutes said one word to her. They were too busy with one another. Terrible customer service. This means management is not paying attention, or they just don't care. Second, the slaw was not true southern slaw. It was bland with a funny taste, we purchased it but threw it away. Our toast was cold and greasy tasting. Chicken was good, but we've had better. However, the fried pickles, which I'm sure were previously frozen, were great, and so were the sauces. The ambiance was good, and by that, I mean the music reminded me of my deep southern roots. Probably will not return just to eat the chicken because most of the time, the service will not change. Good luck! read more

Why even offer curbside pick up when no one comes out to check on customers??? My horrid adventure started once I placed my order for curbside pick up. I arrived and pulled into a spot, any other time people outside waiting to take your order. Today for some reason no one was outside at all to greet customers. As much as the people at the window walked stuff towards customers cars no one came over to curbside. I asked the staff what's taking so long the best excuse I got was I'm trying to find out too I just came back from lunch. Not only was the food cold AF. I was missing items from my order. Why can't bowie in bring some food venues that pride themselves on customer service? ..... All this tax money to live in the county but the restaurants are terrible AF. This place won't last long on terrible customer service. The same energy they use to play at the drive-thru window they should have it when dealing with customers.... Keep that same energy read more

Ordered Uber Eats, bag was not secured, coleslaw half full so it was hard to tell if had been tampered with

The food is good. When I pick up the food I have no problems. When I have it delivered it's a huge problem. I assume it s DoorDash or something similar. I order through the website. If you're not going in don't order. The service is crap and slim chickens never answers the phone. read more

I've visited 5 times thus far. Service is okay. Food is always hot. Toast has never been edible. First two visits I never received a receipt. Therefore, I didn't know I was being charged for extra sauces as they don't mention it when u ask for 2 sauces for a 5 chciken tender meal! They just add the up charge. Seconds visit I got an expired parfait jar. And I threw it away as I wanted to save it for the next day. My order has been wrong 4 out of the 5 visits. The wrap is very bare with chicken. And sometimes the tenders can be very small! Good food but training needs to be provided. Inconsistent orders, up charges without consulting, and not giving customers their receipts. They also give wrong information about the drink sizes with meals. The parfait was purchased March 20. read more

Love this place! I ordered the chicken strips and the chicken was juicy and fresh tasting. They have a variety of sauce, i tried a few of them but loved the honey mustard.

Stopped by Slim's to try out the chicken. After being in line for 30 mins, tank on E..as soon as I finished ordering my food, my car cut off!! On the hottest day of the week..it was like 90 sumthin degrees out that day!! So the manager and one the employees helped push my car into a parking space as I called my boyfriend to come rescue me. Unbeknownst to me, the manager went and grabbed a gas can and put a 1/2 a gallon of gas in my car!! I was so happy and appreciative for him that day!! It was already hot and embarrassed, but that really made my day!! I asked if I can pay him and he said no, just leave a good review!! So here you are!! Shoutout to the tall manager with the white hair at Slim's Chicken on MLK!! He's the real MVP!! read more
