    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

    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

    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!

    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 went to Josh's Farmers market on a day I knew this truck would be there. IG pics looked great and I knew it was something my niece would enjoy. We arrived around 1pm on a Sunday afternoon and I just about stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the 30 or so people in line. However, we drove from Huntersville, and although it wasn't super far it was enough of a hassle that I didn't want to turn around and leave. So we waited. For. An. Hour. Plus. 15. Minutes. I was pretty annoyed because I had gone there somewhat hungry - silly me, not knowing how small the novelty waffles are. By the time we'd waited over an hour I also had an unhappy child who was hungry too. Finally just after 2:15 it was our turn to order. My niece wanted the original, she didn't want all the extra stuff. I wanted the Nutella/strawberry waffle and I kid you not.. they gave the last one to the woman who ordered before me. Unbelievable. I was too through.. and also by the time we got our order at about 2:30, we were starving and that little waffle did not do the job. They were tasty.. just know this is a treat, a dessert, not filling at all. I didn't expect it to be filling, I just expected them to be bigger. I do feel they are reasonably priced based on the size... but we stopped for pizza on the way home. There was one person taking orders and the other was making the orders. The woman making the orders could have used a hand. I can't understand why it took her so long to put 2-4 toppings on a waffle, but the order prep took forever. Keep this in mind if you visit .. be prepared to wait and eat a meal in advance. I'd try it again because the waffle was good, but I wouldn't wait an hour, it wasn't worth a wait that long IMO.

Set in a charming old home, the aesthetic is incredibly welcoming with a quaint downstairs bar, a gorgeous outdoor patio, and cozy seating upstairs--there truly isn't a bad seat in the house. The staff and service are always exceptional, which only adds to the amazing experience. They offer daily specials alongside a rotating and standing menu, making every visit unique. There are so many standout dishes that it can be hard to choose, but my ultimate go-to is the seared ahi tuna salad. I don't know how they make that sesame and shoyu dressing, but it is one of a kind! I also highly recommend the hummus, the baked marinated Vermont goat cheese, "The Usual," and any of their steak options. Definitely don't skip dessert! On my last trip, I tried the strawberry shortcake, and it was divine. The goat cheese and cherry cheesecake and the rotating sorbets are also phenomenal. If you're grabbing a drink at the bar, be sure to check out their signature Matilda Wong, though they also make a stellar dirty martini!

On every visit to Charlotte, I stop here 2-3 times, whether it's to meet up with friends and colleagues for lunch, to grab a quite bite before evening plans, to spend happy hours and dinners on that delightful back patio or to pick up that insane vegan dessert I've been craving. I mean, can it get any better than a spread of vegan elote corn, nachos smothered with beans, seitan, guac/queso/crema or my new favorite, the crunch wrap with a glass of something icy cold (I usually get a glass of something sparkling at the back bar). Since my last review almost 5 years ago, they sadly removed the matcha cruffin (that I still can't get out of my head!) and added in an entire display of sugary/spicy/chocolatey greatness (I'm still kicking myself for being too late on my way to the airport to get that lemon bar I'd been eying or the pumpkin BUNDT CAKE, ffs.

Person taking our order was rude. Asked what he would recommend as a side given that we'd never been to the restaurant before. He just listed off all the sides and appeared annoyed by the question. We finished our order and he then cancels the tip screen and I didn't know why. He asks if I want a receipt and I say sure. Then I notice that they have an automatic "service charge" of 15% that isn't advertised anywhere in the restaurant. I'm not necessarily against restaurants doing this but it should be advertised. Also, you should have service if you're going to charge a "service charge." Our service consisted of a counter order and then someone who eventually brought out our food. Water was never even refilled. Vibe of everyone that worked there was angry and aggravated. Multiple people scowled at me walking through the dining room from the kitchen. One worker threw open the kitchen door obviously pissed about something. Everyone in the restaurant was waiting forever for their food and other tables would have one entree come out while the other person at the table waited another 15 minutes for their food. Food was nothing special. My wife liked her Mother Earth bowl which is why I'm giving two stars. My chicken sandwich was something out of a frozen box. Hush puppies and onion rings were standard. We only had water to drink. All of this cost us $54.20 total. Anymore this feels like a standard experience in an American restaurant unless you do someplace high end. Ok food, terrible value, terrible service, and junk fees. Like they're doing you a favor just being there. All of this for a restaurant that, as the walls show, is trying to convince you to become vegan. This won't do it guys. Do better if you really care about bringing people to your cause.
