My husband loved this place. Honestly, I'm surprised there are so many low-rated reviews. We walked in early Saturday afternoon, right before a lunch rush, and were the only ones there. The restaurant was very clean and the staff were nice. I could tell the teen who took our order just started working here as he had to ask his manager where to find the option for "dry wings". Despite having to double check a few things, be was very nice. My husband ordered the chicken tenders and liked them a lot. The honey mustard was very heavy on the mustard so keep that in mind if you like something on the sweeter side. It was very tangy for my taste. The chicken tenders were cooked well and not dry at all. He opted for an oreo milkshake and enjoyed it - but this man will find a way to get a milkshake anywhere lol. I much rather have bone-in wings so was very happy when I noticed this was an option on the menu. I opted for mango habanero sauce and was pleasantly surprised. It's actually fairly similar to the Buffalo Wild Wings sauce. The fries were a little undercooked for my liking but that's just personal preference. The texas toast, however, was delicious. The red velvet oreo milkshake is a special this month and better than expected. The shake wasn't overly sweet. Overall, we enjoyed our experience at Slim Chickens and will gladly come back on our next trip. read more

Slim Chickens - Disappointment - Southern Near Me - Helena, Montana

I came to Helena for a Costco run and heard that Slim Chickens was better than Chick-fill-a, so I decided to try it. Very poor customers services from the young kids working, chicken tenders tasted super salty to me and didn't like them, and every single table was disgustingly dirty, dirty seats, and dirty floors and dirty bathroom. Waste of money and a disappointing experience. read more

Yeah, a four. Here's why: Chicken wings and tenders were much better than expected. Pleasantly surprised actually. Meaty, cooked right with good sauce selections. Milkshake- eh. Take it or leave it. Kind of like what you'd get at a Wendy's (blick). Mac and cheese - okay, not great. So the 4 is because of good service. Very clean. And the fact the manager shows they care because they actually read these reviews. That counts for a lot as they strive to be better. Not a fan of chains, but I'd come back read more

Our food was made quick and the quality was fresh! We had a big order and there was part of it missing, but when I called on the phone, they were professional about the mistake and I could tell the order was freshly made. I think that only happened because of a huge DoorDash order that they were also working on. I wish I could remember the cashier's name, he was very polite and very helpful. Next time in the area, I'll be stopping by and dining in to enjoy the ambiance more. Hopefully the Reese's peanut butter cup shake will be back by then! read more

Had to be the worst tenders I've had in a long time. Wings weren't much better. Both seems old and had terrible flavor and texture...disnt even finish them. Fries we pretty good tho. Only reason it got 2 stars was for the deserts in the mason jars. They are delicious...never seen or had anything like that ever. I will go by just to by them...and nothing else. read more

Crazy it wasn't that busy for how good it is. Wish they had this where i live. 10/10 would recommend. lady was super nice, and cashier was nice as well read more

I went to grab lunch about 1:45. One other was in line. I waited at least 15 minutes to get my food and the sauce was missing. Not a good experience! Will not go back! Food was ok. read more

So here's my honest review on 11/04 at about 7pm I came in to try this for the first time. We pulled in there were 2 cars ahead of us in drive thru. It took 23 min for us to get to order. Once we ordered we got to the window and paid. Then the order was handed to us. 1st issues it was the wrong order. So we handed it back then we were instructed to go park. We did so 10 min later they brought out what we assumed was correct so we left. We got home and the order was cold and missing the kids deserts. Called and someone answered right away and told us to come back explained we lived kinda far away and we would stop by on 11/05 about the same time on our way back and get it taken care of. Well we did we pulled in to drive through and asked for the manager Selena introduced her self and said she would make it right we told her what happened last time and she said okay We get our food and immediately check it and to no surprise cold and looked like a 2 year old had thrown it in a box and stomped on it. I walked inside and was treated extremely poorly and was told I was looking for a hand out. Will never come back. read more

Place is just so mid. Just moved here from the west coast and this place got overcooked fried chicken that honestly taste like something I could make at home with a small amount of effort. It's not worth it especially for the price. Just go to Super1 Foods. Their fried chicken is pretty good read more

For 10.99 this was a lot of food. The chicken was good, and each sauce was good. I liked the honey bbq better with the chicken and the cayenne ranch with the fries. I actually came because I was going to get a salad. Next time I will do that and have the cayenne ranch as the dressing. read more

Slim Chickens - 5pc meal with cayenne ranch and honey bbq sauce - Southern Near Me - Helena, Montana

I ordered three chicken meals and one only came with pickles and it was kinda dirty in there and the ambiance was okay but IM ANGRY AND the costumer service was HORRENDOUS. I went through the drive thru today and ordered three meals, but when we got home one of the meals and other items were missing so I called and said I wanted another meal the man replied with I can give you a coupon and I said I didn't want a coupon me knowing I spent 50$ on my meals and half of it was missing and then he said that he would deliver the missing meal and other items to my house and then when I was giving him the address he asked me to spell out EVERY SINGLE WORD. Then I hung up then I call two hours later and tell him it's not here then he says "oh it's not there?" And says it in a mocking voice and THEN he told me it's obviously not coming to my house then he said "we obviously don't have a driver stupid" so then I hang up and I call management services and they never answered and it's not even the chicken it's how DISRESPECTFUL they are to there consumers and the people that keep them in business!!!! And they also stole 30$ worth of my meals and money I am not happy with you slim chicken!!!!!!! read more

Slim Chickens - The fried pickles were mid - Southern Near Me - Helena, Montana

My fiancé and I both got food poisoning from here TWICE!! The first one we brushed off thinking nothing of it but we ate there again but once again we don't feel good!! They definitely need to mind their temperature of chicken (dry as ever), the fries were old and cold!! All the people in the back were on their phones while we were waiting for our food. read more

First time trying Slim Chickens. Took advantage of the free meal card we received in the mail. It was very clean, the staff very friendly. Tenders were soft and tender. My husband ordered fried mushrooms and loved them. Great meal with fast service. read more

Bummer, I've come here before, and I thought it was an ok deal. Then today I got 5 piece tenders deal, but it was more like 5 nuggets. Is this shrinkflation??? In fact I wasn't too thrilled with the sauces only being half filled at first. Well, it turns out that there was enough sauce, because the tenders were only half their normal size. Really disappointed for $10.99 so I won't be going back for that again read more

This is absolutely the most disgusting chicken you can order. It's overcooked and burnt with no flavor. The owner should be ashamed. I have eaten some great chicken in the south and this is definitely north of gross read more

Great food, order was perfect-staff was great so lucky to have them here, price was good and milk shakes to die for

I just wanted to come on here and say how much I absolutely love this place. Amazing service, and the workers are very friendly. The ranch is spectacular and makes me want to go for some more. The chicken is cooked perfectly and always makes me happy!! If you were to ask me my favorite place to eat I'd say slim chickens!!! It's amazing and always cheers me up on the bad days. I love this place and everyone should try it if you haven't!!! read more

Worst $37 I've ever spent. Don't go! Better food at DQ! We got wings and chicken with fries, Mac & cheese, coleslaw, and had to try the fried pickle chips. Everything was horrible. Couldn't finish any of it. All was over salted, including the sauces. The wings were boiled and rubbery. The chicken was dry. The fried pickles were cold, floppy and way, way too much salt! The buffalo sauce was not spicy at all, neither was the mango habanero sauce! The Bbq sauce is like McD's, and the garlic parmesan sauce super salty and vinegary. Coleslaw was watery and dull. Mac & cheese is better in a grocery store deli. Only good was the ranch, but still too salty. Fries and Texas toast were bland and floppy. And they still use styrofoam cups! read more

Slim Chickens - Food in trash! - Southern Near Me - Helena, Montana

I've been here enough to know that Slims chicken is finger lickin' good! WAY better than Cane's. Edgier than Chik-Fil-A. Slims is one of THE COOLEST places Helena is lucky enough to have. They have great menu selections, w/ wings in 17 different flavors. The Korean BBQ & inferno sauces are ! They go above & beyond,& will give you any sauce you want when you order their strips. Their fried pickles are SO SO delicious & perfectly fried. Even their salads are amazing, with crispy onions & fresh greens. A real treat for those that are looking for keto or other low carb options. Their Peach Tea Lemonade is the perfect refreshing pairing for any dish. Better than most boba tea's I've had, so it was a nice find when there are no tea cafes in Helena. On a hot day, WOW do I feel lucky that I can get perfectly brewed Peach Tea from Slims. I will warn that their food can be a little on the salty side so if you're sensitive to sodium, you'll need to be cautious about what you order. I want to give Slims 4 or even 5 stars but they have some work to do. I've always had a VERY positive experience dining in. Location is clean & well maintained. Employees are hard working & friendly. However, I've never had a good experience going through the Drive Thru. Wait times are long & employees are hecka rude. Particularly Alexis. I came in on a Sunday because I saw their sign that stated kid meals are $1.99 on Sundays. I ordered 3 kids meals for my kiddos & a strawberry cheesecake jar (for me ). When she gave me the total of $22.96 I was confused. Surely she made a mistake when punching in the prices; the total should have been $12.96. When I got to the window, I asked her why the total was $22 & she explained (in a not so pleasant voice) that kids meals are ONLY $1.99 when you order it with an adult meal. I responded, "Ohhhh ok. It doesn't state that on the sign. That's really misleading." Instead of understanding how confusing & misleading that experience was, she was really rude about it & made a snarky commeny to the effect of it not being her problem because she doesn't decide the prices & oh well. I get it, she's young in her career & hasn't developed good customer service skills. A more seasoned employee would have gone the extra mile to give me one meal for $1.99 since I was ordering 2 other meals & a cheesecake jar which would have exceeded the price of an adult meal. This would have left me, the customer, feeling better about the experience. I do hope she reported this to the manager so they can create new messaging that's not so confusing. But I get it, the sign is small & there's only so much you can fit. Perhaps handling this better the next time around will ensure customers have a better experience after being misled. As a great Target employee once told me, "I would rather lose a few dollars than a lifetime customer, which is far more valuable." Another incident with this same employee happened just today. I ordered the 3 & 3 meal. I asked if I could sub the crispy onions for fries & she said that the onions are for the sandwiches & they can't give them to me, which seems so silly! I said ok you can't just give me a few? & she said very annoyed, which I kind of understand because I'm sure she comes across this request several times, that she's not willing to do that because there's no way for her to charge as a sub. I gave her several other options to make it work for both of us but she just wasn't willing to work with me on this, so I let it go. On one hand, I do understand where she's coming from but how hard is it to find a different solution? Or even realize that giving a customer a few crispy onions would be MUCH less expensive from an inventory perspective then giving a full serving of fries. But of course she seems to have a mentality that she's not willing to do anymore than she has to. This comes off as very unprofessional but I understand she's still learning. If she took customer service seriously & was in the business of delighting customers, perhaps she could have surprised me w/ a few crispy onions in my box. Again, I hope she's atleast sharing this information w/ management so they can provide a pathway to customers getting crispy onions even if they don't order a salad or sandwich. People will pay so take their money! Slims is a cool place w/ great potential. It's easy to be the best when you have no competition, & even easier to get complacent. As long as they are willing to take customer feedback seriously, they will continue to grow & be the best. Hope you enjoy their food as much as we have! read more

Slim Chicken recently opened in Helena, MT. Order placed on line using app. When arriving at restaurant, you park in a numbered spot then call phone number on sign. Order was promptly delivered to vehicle. Oder was chicken tenders with fries. Chicken sandwich with coleslaw. Overall thoughts is the food is just okay . One concern is the overwhelming amount of salt used in the food. read more

Food's always been very good, but there's a cleanliness issue in the lobby. We were one of three people eating in, and we had a hard time finding a clean table. The bathrooms were in pretty bad shape. read more

First time trying this place and everyone was pretty pleased. Chicken was delicious. I don't recommend the ranch chips, wasn't impressed. Clean dining area and friendly staff and fast service. read more

I went on a crusade to try all the fast food chicken sandwiches in town, and even one at a sit-down restaurant on the walking mall. Slim Chickens is by far the best fast food chicken sandwich in Helena. It was moist, tender and crispy, had the right amount of sauce and a fresh bun. I dig the fresh lemonade too. All around great addition in Helena! read more

Pro: Probably the best chicken tenders I've eaten. Con: messed up our order and declined to make it right. I'll give them a pass this time as they have only been open for 2 weeks and were super busy. Con: Their approach to the drive thru doesn't make much sense for having a single lane. It's likely why they messed up our order. read more

First let me say my wife and I have only eaten here once and it was delicious! I had the chicken sandwich which was a bit small but it was only 4$. It was juicy and flavorful, wish I had order 3 more ( yes I'm fat lol). My wife had the smoke house chicken wrap which I had just a small bit. It was a good size for 7$ and had great flavor. Will be going back soon ( possible without my wife so I can eat like an animal lol). read more

Sandwiches and Garlic Sriracha wings were so bomb!!!! Love the sweet tea and there's a ton of sauces to pick from!

Liked that I ordered online & had curbside pickup. The chicken tenders were good but a bit too salty for my taste. Fries good. Coleslaw pretty good. Did not like the 2 sauces. Both went into the garbage. Garlic Parmesan was toooo salty. Chocolate shake was icky. Too chocolaty & sweet. We will go again & try something else. I'd get the tenders again. read more

Three times and three failures. I usually don't bitch about things but when half the staff is in the lobby paying more attention their phones walking around doing nothing and finally I have to interrupt a customer placing an order to get anyone's attention after standing st the front counter for at least 10 minutes oh shit I'm not just standing there for no gosh damn reason. Give me a break. Dad in the hospital trying to do something nice what a fucking let down. In the three times I've been here you will probably wait way longer than one would like or eventually just leave read more

My first time visit - chicken was good - they got the order right- liked the chicken sandwich and fries. No fry sauce. I didn't get any ketchup other than that I'll go back and ask for it and try the tenders. read more

A step above fast food chicken because of the decor inside. Food was good sauces were great!

Went to Slim Chickens in Helena 6-3-22 around 8:45 pm to have 3 employees stand in the kitchen doing nothing and no one to wait on me. I walked out and won't return again. Was really looking forward to eat there. Very disappointe! read more

Very clean, employees very attentive, service was fast and accurate, bathrooms clean. And prices are great. We will keep coming back. Seriously don't go anywhere else! read more

Waited for over an hour to get my food. Also while I was there random people kept coming in and out of the kitchen. Food was good but not worth the wait. read more

I was the only person in the business. I placed my order, waited a long time (20 minutes or more) for two children strip dinners, and when I received them, the order was wrong. I'm not sure how they could have screwed up two simple meals, but they did. What you get is kind of lacking and overpriced. I do not recommend. read more

I wasted 8 dollars for a slims wrap and drink. The wrap was so salty it was not edible.

My expectations for fast food are not the same as for a full service restaurant. Even as such, Slim Chickens managed to disappoint beyond my imagination. Fries were old, cold and I could only consume a few with buckets of catchup. The chicken burger was worse: cold, tasteless and non-eatable. I finished two bites before trashing it. The only bright spot, the Diet Coke tasted normal and did manage to help cleans the taste of the fries and burger. read more

I normally eat here once a week. I eat here because I used to be able to eat here for under $8, but now you're lucky if it's under $10. The food can be great but most of the time it's ok. Today I waited in the drive through longer than normal for almost 10 minutes before ordering and there was only one car ahead of me. Then I was asked what sauces do I want with my Classic tenders meal? I said the 2 that I wanted and was told that she would have my total at the window. when I got to the window I handed her a $10 bill since my food was $9.79. She said it's $10.18 because I ordered an extra sauce (.39). This was very frustrating that she would ask me what sauces? and then bill me for more than one sauce and not tell me!! When I asked about it she said that the slims meal with less chicken gets two sauces but not the classic or other meals....? I guess I'm not following the thinking behind it. But she did take .18 cents off so it was a straight $10. But my extra sauce was also only half full so it didn't even make it through my meal. It just seems like people here are not up front with what's included or not included in the meals here. I guess we just live in a nickle and dime world. If chick-fil-a makes it into town, it'll be hard to compete with their speed, customer service and pricing. read more

Hi there, I love Slim Chickens but today I had a poor experience at the Helena branch that makes me think I won't be going back. I ordered a chicken basket with Mac n cheese for curbside pickup. When I got to the store, I notified them multiple times by tapping the "I'm here," prompt (on both the website and email), and after roughly 20 minutes I was getting upset because I got there right when my order was done and was waiting for someone to bring it out. I reluctantly went in and saw that they had my curbside pickup order sitting on the counter, and it had been there for the last 20 minutes. I have no problem coming in and picking it up, but it made me very upset since I ordered it for curbside pickup and was expecting it to just be brought out to my car (as the email stated!!) so at this point the food was cold and soggy. To make matters worse, my chicken had been shaken in the wrong sauce (I ordered honey BBQ but had gotten it in a different sauce, I'm not even sure what it was) AND I had been given fries instead of Mac n cheese. I'm not one to leave reviews and I am usually very relaxed about issues with my orders, but there were so many issues this time that I just had to make this aware. I ordered 2 meals, and when I picked up my order, I checked the top box which had the correct order. Therefore, I assumed the second order was correct. I would have just gone back into the store and asked for the correct order, but I had to drive somewhere (in a hurry) that was roughly 10 minutes away. I did not have the time to take everything out and examine it either, but regardless I feel that I should be able to trust the business where I am ordering food from. I really enjoy eating at Slim Chickens and have been craving it for a while, so this experience was very upsetting. read more
