    Slims Wrap with grilled tenders
    Ronnie R.

    I placed a mobile order the first time visiting this location. I can't verify the ambiance because we didn't go inside the restaurant. We were glad to see a drive-thru on a very chilly night. Even with a mobile order, we had to wait longer than expected. The service was okay. Thankfully, I checked the bag before we drove off. I realized some items were missing from the order, but we were able to get them. The food didn't taste bad. I expected more from the wings with this being a place that specializes in chicken. They were not tender & a little on the tough side. The Garlic Parm & Honey BBQ wings were flavored well tho. The grilled & fried tenders were flavored well also & thankfully very tender. Everything else we ordered was good. My son liked his Kids Mac. My daughter liked the Crispy Chicken Sandwich meal. I will definitely get the Slims Wrap with grilled tenders again. It was yummy. We plan to return to try other items on the menu. I've included a picture of our order for reference.

    My first Slim Chickens experience consisted of a friend ordering and picking up some food for me for lunch. I tried the side salad and fried pickles and was pleasantly surprised by how good both of them were. I had been waiting to make my own official Slim Chickens debut. I downloaded the app, placed my order, and proceeded to head to the restaurant. That was probably the end of my positive experience. Upon arriving I waited in the dining area near the sign that said pick-up. Nobody greeted me upon my arrival. The inside was not crowded at all. I waited about ten minutes and watched as people ordered food at the register and received it before my to-go order placed before them. The drive thru also seemed to be moving people through faster. Once my order was completed I cringed as I watched the front cashier check my containers for accuracy with the same hands that had previously taken money from a customer. Because it had taken so long I grabbed my order and headed back to work. While in the car, I started to eat my fried mushrooms. They were ok. There was a nice crisp to them. But the flavor was a bit off. There was a hint of pickles as if they had all been fried together. But I also love their fried pickles, so it wasn't a huge deal. As I got towards the end of my order, I noticed some odd looking mushrooms and broke them apart. To my surprise, they were fried chicken pieces! I am a vegetarian and was completely disgusted that they can't manage to keep food items separate. I threw the rest away and ate my salad. This was not the experience I expected...needless to say I am not in a hurry to return. I submitted a survey to the restaurant and requested a response. I have yet to hear anything back. Pro-tip: Use my reference code MICCE23155 when you download the app!

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich Meal
    Tameka G.

    A new chicken spot. Chik Fil A might have some competition. I enjoyed my crispy chicken sandwich next time I will probably add some lettuce and tomatoes it would be perfect. The fries were good and the customer service was also good. It was a clean place to sit eat and enjoy a quick bite.

    Amazing flavor in this chicken! Great taste! And I love that they have fried okra. The garlic Parmesan sauce is really good.

    After waiting a couple of weeks for the crowd to die down, I finally gave Slim Chickens a try. There wasn't a huge crowd on Sunday evening and the two lines helped to move things along. It is still a new establishment and I'd imagine they're finding their groove, possibly why I waited about 20 minutes in the drive thru with 10-15 cars ahead of me. Because of the newness, you can't order online or through the app from 4-11pm. So I was forced to wait in line. When they're out of the opening phase, this will be a nice option to use. Especially so you can rack up points through the app. As others have commented, they come to your windows with a tablet to help speed things along, similar to Chick-fil-A. I think part of the hold up is that because it's new, a lot of people ask questions or don't know what to order. It's helpful that there are QR codes to pull the menu up while you wait. Interestingly, they were bringing drinks out to cars waiting to approach the window to grab their meal. Didn't make a lot of sense to me (why not give me my drink at the window with my food?), but maybe it works for the employees to keep things moving inside. Prices are reasonable, and I decided to get the 3+3 so I could taste both wings and tenders. If you like sauce on your tenders, that's an option. You can also sub a different side for fries (some have an additional $1.99 price tag) and you can sub a milkshake for your fountain drink for an additional $1.99. I like having those options and I think the price to upgrade is reasonable. My food came out nice and hot - wings, fries, and tenders. The tenders were nice and crispy, they had a nice crunch. At first glance I thought the wings were too saucy, but they were fine as I ate them. I got mango habanero sauce and it was GOODT! Added a nice kick. The tenders and fries were overly salty for my taste, but otherwise good. Because of the saltiness I might try something different if I return, but I'd return at some point in the future.

    So I decided to visit Slim Chickens and ordered the chicken and waffles. I asked for the chicken to be shaken in Buffalo sauce. Never in a million years did. I think they would put buffalo dipped chicken on top of a waffle. After I cut the pieces of the waffle out that had buffalo sauce on it, when syrup was actually applied, the waffle was pretty tasty. Light and crispy. The buffalo covered tenders were juicy and crispy....a little on the small side though. I will give him another try, but best believe I will not be ordering a waffle covered in Buffalo sauce. #explorepage #foodie #foodporn #instafood #foodstagram #buffalo #foodblogger #foodlover #keeppounding #foodgasm #instagood #foodiesofinstagram #foodpics #wings #followforfollow #GratuityAdded #foodlover #foodporn #tenders #waffle

    I really like this establishment. Came in the evening and the next day for lunch. Able to go inside & drive-thru. Our food came out lightening quick when we got carry out from inside. It was hot. The wings are good size and the tenders have an EXCELLENT taste. The drive-thru is like a maze and you have to go one turn above to gain access. Makes sense to have an extended loop to avoid the traffic extending to the 485 exit. But it is tricky when you 1st go. They have a chik-fil-a approach with their drive thru that allows the line to move decently. I would recommend. It is new so everybody is going, so the line stays on smash. And especially if you're tasting for chicken on Sunday, with Chick-fil-A being closed, it will hit the spot

    This establishment is fairly new. My sister recommended I come give it a try because she loves it. I love the atmosphere, very inviting and clean. Service was prompt. Very short wait for food. Price point is average. The food for me was ok. I wanted the Nashville hot chicken but went against my will. Next time I'm definitely trying that.

    I finally made it to Slim Chickens and I will say that it lived up to my expectations and the hype everyone has made about it! The chicken tenders were fried perfectly and the wings were flavorful! I opted for the Garlic Parmesan wing flavor. It's located on Prosperity Ridge, just off of one of the roundabouts in the Prosperity/485 area. It's not too cluttered and there is plenty of parking available. There are also some other establishments being built/opened in the same plaza, which look to open soon. It was before the lunchtime rush of the day, so the drive-thru moved very quickly. The staff was helpful and nice as well. I would definitely recommend a visit! I'll be going back to sit on the patio and eat and to try one of the hotter heat sauces for the wings!

    Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich with Mac and Cheese
    Juliana D.

    Brand new chicken restaurant! Came here the day after their grand opening and it was packed! The drive thru line was crazy and the line to get food was about 40 minutes long. It went by quick because I was talking a lot and wasn't too hungry. The service was great and all of the employees were very nice! They gave everyone drawstring bags as we waited and checked on us a few times while eating. I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich and a side of Mac and cheese. The price was good for a pretty big sandwich and a good size portion of Mac and cheese. The chicken was very flavorful and tender. The Mac and cheese was creamy but very cold by the time I got it. Overall, the food was great! I can't wait to come back and try the tenders, 17 types of sauces, and their milkshakes!

    Had a classic chicken tenders box. The tenders were delicious and the honey mustard topped everything off. The tea was ok!

    Great chicken strips! A light breading that doesn't take away from the taste of the chicken.

    My first introduction to Pollo Campero wasn't in Charlotte. It was back in 2001 when I worked at…read moreHouston's international terminal. Flights from Guatemala would arrive, and passengers would walk off the plane carrying bags of Pollo Campero. The aroma was unforgettable. Ever since then, I've been curious about what made this chicken so special. Fast forward to Charlotte, and now I finally understand the hype. I stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered the four-piece roasted chicken meal with sweet plantains, coleslaw, and a roll. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The chicken was juicy and packed with spices that set it apart from your typical fast-food chicken chain. It's hard to explain until you try it, but the seasoning has a distinctive flavor that makes Pollo Campero uniquely its own. The sweet plantains were excellent. Soft, caramelized, and sweet with those slightly crispy edges that make plantains so addictive. The coleslaw was cold, creamy, and crunchy, which paired perfectly with the chicken. The service was friendly, the value was excellent, and my order was accurate. I always take a moment to check my order before leaving the drive-thru, and everything was exactly right. If your fried chicken experience begins and ends with KFC, Bojangles, or Church's, give Pollo Campero a try. It's a delicious taste of Guatemala and a reminder that great chicken comes in many forms. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte.

    Charlotte is a fried chicken city. Aside from being the headquarters for Bojangles, we've got…read moreoutlets for all the big chains - KFC, Church's, Popeye's and such. Several excellent local restaurants, too. So I had high hopes today for Pollo Campero. PC was clean when I arrived at 12:30. Quite busy with about a third of the tables in use and the remaining were clear of dirty dishes. Surprising because they don't have a trash can that I could see - the staff bus and clean tables, clearing them swiftly. I ordered a three piece at the counter and it didn't take long until a running found my tent card and I was able to start. The chicken was thoroughly cooked, still moist. Not much for flavor in the skin today, it needed some hot sauce to bring out the taste. The cole slaw was creamy and crisp. Still good but also a little bland. The small dinner roll wrapped in plastic was fresh and fluffy. Overall, it's a nice little fast food spot. If you're looking for something in a known quantity along South Boulevard near the light rail, this will work nicely. [Review 728 of 2025 - 4162 in North Carolina - 24288 overall]
