There's no shortage of chicken restaurants to choose from these days. However, our experience at Slim Chickens was a tasty one! Numerous sauces to choose from for both the strips and the wings. A salad or a sandwich is also an option. Junior, the young man who waited on us to take our order and give us guidance, was very pleasant and knowledgeable! We appreciated his patience and polite approach! I chose the coleslaw as my side and thought it was delicious! My husband opted for the safer choice of fries! He was not disappointed! The mac and cheese was also recommend...next time! read more

For sure over priced and was just okay.... the fried pickles were way to salty. We had to throw them away and the "large "fried okra I had the box wasn't even half filled.... A Little disappointed read more

First time visit and it will probably my last!! Although the customer service was good my food was very cold, as if it head been sitting for at least an hour. I went through the drive through, he apologized for the wait which was a plus. I didn't mind waiting as I thought I would receive fresh, hot food. I should've checked before I drove off. The fries were cold and limp, chicken was cold and greasy. Seemed like my coke was flat also..... I threw it away. What a waste of time and money!!! read more

The wife & I were in the area, so we thought we would stop and try it out. Not what I expected, but everything looked nice and clean, so we stayed. We each ordered wings & fries, and we were disappointed. The fries were fine, very hot and fresh from the fryer. The wings, on the other hand, were barely room temperature. I get the impression they cook the wings beforehand, and add the sauce when they're actually ordered. Everyone seems friendly, and it wasn't too busy when we were there, but I actually like my wings to have been cooked within the past hour when I order them. read more

It's ok. Good the first time. Then ok the second time. Went in to try dessert and they were closed due to a fryer being down.

Tiffany started us off with a happy welcome and made some spot on recommendations. I loved what I oredered (5&5) and the mason jar brownie. The food came pretty fast and was brought to the table. We enjoyed our time and meal and as I was cleaning up Albert offered help and finished off our visit with the nicest personality and leaving us wanting to come back. Our son will love this place when he isnt in school. We will be back!! Also this is the cleanest restaurant I have ever been too. I juat drove from Los Angeles to San Antonio which means I've seen many! read more

We came for the first time, way after the hype died down. It was finger licking good! We got the buffalo chicken sandwich and the 5 tenders with fries and Mac! Everything was to die for. The slim sauce was a stable and inferno was terribly delicious. The girl working, Lauren, made the visit even better! Only bad thing was the sweet tea tasted old other than that, great food. read more

This place is pretty decent, my dad and I enjoy it a lot, the house sauce is bomb. Still needs a little more time as far as the system set up at the front but overall not a bad place I'll probably continue to come back. read more

We ordered a 5 & 5. Traditional wings were sauced in garlic parmesan. Didn't care for the sauce at all. The tenders didn't have much flavor. Thank goodness their ranch was pretty good. Fries were good. Toast was good. Everything else... ehhhhh. The young lady that helped us was super friendly, but we won't be returning. read more

Chcken tenders are good. I prefer crispier crust. It is a soft crust. They do have a variety of dipping sauces. A.C.& fans blowing make for a kinda cold dining experience. Clean restaurant and lots of natural light. read more

The Buffalo Chicken Wrap is a favorite for my son and me. I'd give them a 4 but they're so STINGY with their fries. Kids get more fries in a Happy Meal at McDonald's! We don't eat at McDonald's because , but just giving you a comp to give you an idea of the portions. read more

Service was decent and place was clean. Food was just ehh. Nothing comapred to zaxbys or raising canes. Sauce was too sweet, same for the chicken tenders. Wings wernt bad. read more

Our first couple of trips to Slim Chickens the chicken tenders were excellent with large pieces and the fried mushrooms were fantastic. Skip to a recent trip and the fried mushrooms are no longer offered and chicken portions have grown much smaller with our past two trips. Still very good but not sure the expense is worth it any more...: / read more

I went through the drive thru which was fast and convienent. I purchased the 5 x 5 which is 5 wings 5 tenders, fries and two slices of bread, see below for my ratings: 2 honey bbq Wings- 2/5 stars -Over cooked and lightly coated with sauce, almost to the point I could not taste the flavor. 3 garlic parmesan Wings- 2/5 stars - light coated with sauce and over cooked, almost to the point I could not taste the flavor. 5 chicken tenders-3/5 stars -good tenders I was not a fan of the texture of the chicken tenders. Bread and sauces- 4/5 stars read more

Slim chickens has the slowest drive thru service in SA. Girl in the window was texting and gossiping with other employees. Their chicken strips and fries were cold. They were already out some of the deserts. I've noticed very little traffic of customers returning to this place. It must be the cold chicken! read more

Slim Chickens - Comfort Food Near Me - Helotes, Texas

It is amazing that anyone would invest so much $ and be so stupid! Very poor quality control for a new restaurant. Marking comments seems to get file 13. Barely warm strips and fries don't cut it. Parking lot has gone from loaded to plenty of parking. I'm sure Golden Chick, Bill Millers, HEB, Popeyes and soon Bush's are having a chuckle or a cluckle! read more

Great service and good food. Dipping sauce heaven. Garlic Parmesan was excellent. Cute Texas shaped chicken and waffles. Andrew was very nice and stopped by to chat with us. Will be back soon! read more

This place is pretty good and a great location not too far from my house. First time there had the 5 and 5, strips are nice and juicy wings were a little small but flavor was great. Definitely looking forward to going again and trying there different varieties of sauces and really looking forward to trying their dessert sometime. read more

There are times in life where words cannot simply describe the greatness of such an experience in which food becomes life changing. However, Slim Chickens has changed my life completely and it is impossible to imagine myself eating chicken from anywhere else on this planet. If there was one establishment that is deserving of a 10 star rating, an Oscar or a 5 star fine dining restaurant Slim Chickens would be all 3. Not even the most experienced and greatest chefs around the world would be able to cook chicken that contains 0 flaws, Slim Chickens is an exception to the word perfection and is the only establishment in which this word can qualify. I simply cannot fathom the thought of living life without eating at Slim Chickens. This restaurant should be on every single human being's bucket list and or pilgrimage to experience before death. After eating here for breakfast lunch and dinner for the past 6 months and moving cities in order to be closer to this establishment I have come to the realization that I cannot live without Slim Chickens. I beg each and every one of you reading this to get in your car or alternative means of transportation and drive to the nearest Slim Chickens to experience the life changing moment I have each time I take a bite into one of their delicious tenders. read more

Best chicken and waffles ever!! They really took care of our children needs and the place is so nice. I was recommended the sandwich and yes it was fantastic! Don't forget the dessert with a keeper read more

I was so very disappointed today at Slim Chickens! We ordered our food and over 40 minutes we got the wrong food! I ordered a grilled salad and my husband ordered a 3 & 3 (3 wings 3 tenders) we got a a 6 piece tenders and 8 piece tenders! read more

Had my choppers ready for some chicken and waffles on this rainy afternoon, yet it was not to be. How the heck do you run out of waffle batter?!? Let's try for a cookie next. Nope...no cookiworries s either! So sad! :( read more

I do not usually review on restaurants that I did not enjoy, however my boyfriend and I ate at this establishment saturday January 20, around 10pm and I wish we had not. The place was clean and workers were friendly, but unfortunately we had a terrible experience from eating the food. We ordered a 3 piece strip and a 4 piece strip along with one of the mason jar brownie dessert. As I was eating the strips I had noticed an unusual texture and brought it up to my boyfriend who confirmed he noticed it too. However I finished my meal thinking maybe that is the way they cook their strips, I had no idea what was to be expected when I arrived home. Later that night my boyfriend informed me that he was feeling very ill, nauseous and crampy in his stomach. We had fallen asleep, and I was abruptly woken up with severe pains in my stomach, to the point where my breathe was taken away. I immediately experienced some of the worst symptoms of food poisoning (I will refrain from being too graphic) and I was not the only one. I had not eaten anything out of the ordinary that day except for Slim Chickens, since it was in fact my first time going. I spent many long hours with pains and symptoms, it was horrible. Now, like I previously stated I do not usually make reviews for the public to see, but unfortunately I tried to call this establishment 4 times from 10:40 am to 11am (hours start at 10:30 everyday) and did not receive an answer, therefore I am obligated to write a review about my experience. I would not want this to happen to anyone else and being that I am pregnant, this type of sickness is dangerous to not only me but my child as well. I will not be returning to Slim chickens any time in the future. read more

My family and I went there Monday night for dinner and it was super packed which mean good food! So we parked and the line was a little out of the door, but what can expect it just opened. EVEN better!! We waited all but a couple mins and we were next in line ordering our food. We got up to register and we were greeted with a bunch of friendly faces. I ordered chicken strips and my husband ordered chicken wings for himself. He ordered his wings plain so we can try some of their sauces, we ordered about 5 sauces to try out ( which were all good). Once we ordered we went to find a table, the overall atmosphere was nice, they have table, booths and an outside patio to eat. We found a table and we figured the wait for the food would be a little while since they were super busy, but nope we waited the normal time, maybe 5mins or so and our food came right out. Nice, hot and fresh! The food is good! Chicken good! Wings good! Fries good! We will definitely be back there soon and try some other items on the menu! Good job on your first Monday night Slim Chickens! First time there and a great impression! You'll see us again soon! read more

Really great chicken strips and liked the fried mushrooms a lot. The dessert in the jar was fantastic! Great that they stay open late too.

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by the meal. The chicken was moist and the fries were very tasty. We should have shared a dessert because they are very filling. read more

I had to download yelp again to leave a one star review. How this location jacked up an order at 8pm on a Sunday night is beyond me. An order that took 20 mins in the drive through no less. First and last time to this company. read more

Excellent customer service and the food is great. During my lunch hour, I enjoyed the speedy service with a smile.

Everything was good. Expect one thing. The hot wing sauce had no flavor. Really flavorless. If you mess up on traditional wings .....I won't try any thing else read more

Been here a few times, including back when it first opened, and the quality seems to have declined. Usually long waits too. Chicken seemed kind of soggy. After having to pay for extra sauce, I didn't receive the gravy that I ordered in the drive thru and was given ranch instead read more

Chicken strips are not very flavorful. I wouldn't have tasted anything if it wasn't for the honey mustard dipping sauce. I can't attest to anything else aside from the strips and fries bc that's all I had. Not impressed. read more

If I could give this place an infinite amount of stars I absolutely would. Have you ever imagined what heaven is like? Well this is as close as you can get. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. The chicken? Perfect. The mac and cheese? Best mac and cheese I've ever had. The bread? Delicious. The sauces??? Holy freaking moly. Not only is the food to die for the people are so nice! I've gone to this place three times this week!! And although I'm not proud I just couldn't help myself. The orders were fast even during lunch hour, I had my food in 5 minutes. And when the wait was too long in the drive threw plus the machine didn't work I got my food for FREE! Nothing Is better than free slim chickens. If you have to drive 30 miles to get here you better do it. This place made me grow closer to God. It revolutionized me. It made me into a better person. I will come here as often as my diet allows!! read more

Wings were cold and flavorless. Chicken strips were decent. When I first visited they had fried pickles which were delicious. I wish they'd bring them back!! Overall, decent food. read more

Literally fast food chicken. Too many options on the menu with little explanation from the cashier. The chicken was bland and the sauces were not that great. I am not a fast food fan to begin with, but figured I would try it since it was new in town. The fried pickles were also bland. I ended up taking off the crispy part and eating just the pickles. Not a fan of the food or their prices. read more

This place is just not good...plain and simple. I have given it 2 chances...never again. The chicken is mediocre at best (almost no batter and soggy...not crispy at all), the fries are soggy, the salads are decent but both times I got one they forgot to include the dressing, the jar desserts are way too sweet, but the management at this place is the worst part about it. Even knowing there's an issue, they do nothing to make it right and don't even so much as apologize. Super unprofessional management, along with their subpar food, is going to ruin this establishment. Go to Canes or Golden Chick. read more

Had to give it one star to be able to post, but if I had my choice I wouldn't have given it anything. The wings were luke warm with sauce dumped over them and the fries are frozen. I ordered the cheesecake dessert but never received it. When I initially ordered I asked the girl to hold it until after I finished my meal. A girl came by the table, took my receipt and never came back. My daughter went to the counter and was told they were making them. After 20 minutes I gave up and left because the young man bussing tables seemed very anxious to move us out as he kept coming by asking us if we wanted him to take our trash. This was my first visit here and it will be my last. read more

It's really nice to see a fried chicken place that has some original ideas (especially since there are SO many other fried chicken places out there, and all of them seem to put out the exact same mediocre product). This place is a cut above the rest. The tenders are big and juicy, with a nice light breading on them. I loved the Texas toast, which is kind of like a garlic bread. I don't know what the fries are seasoned with, but it's great. I've also tried their sandwich, and that's solid too. All around good place to eat. read more

My family and I ate here today for the first time. Very clean place with friendly staff. Took a little bit to get our food but that is understandable with fresh fried chicken. It takes time to cook! When our food came out it looked great but all of our fries were cold. I approached the manager and told him about the fries and he was very apologetic. He said he was going to replace our meals with fresh ones and he did. Took about three minutes and we had fresh hot meals back out. They also gave us four of their jar desserts as a way to say sorry and make it right. The entire situation was handled very well and in a professional manner. I will for sure have no issues returning and would recommend it to anyone who likes fresh chicken. Great job and keep up the good work/customer service. read more

Wow, this place is amazing. Right portions, perfect sauces, clean environment and plenty of drinks to choose from. I highly recommend this location to anyone who think other chicken locations are the best. Try Slim Chickens and it will make you think twice. read more

I went to try this place for the first time and went through the drive thru. It took like 10 minutes just to pay at the window and another 20 minutes to get my food! And when I got my food it was a completely different order, they had gave my order to another car. I then had to go inside and wait another 20 minutes for what I order... I'm not impressed with this place at all read more
