First time here. The menu is basic. We had the 3 & 3 which has 3 chicken tenders, fries & 3 wings. The chicken tenders are soft, & tasty with a light breading that is not crunchy or full of batter. The wings are not much to rave about. They need to give bigger size wings! Wing Stop has bigger size wings! Plus not much flavor to my hot wings. You get two dipping sauces of your choice. The slim sauce is not great in my opinion. The staff is friendly the place is clean. They offer 3 flavored teas, sweet, raspberry & peach. The peach was delicious! The meal is served in a basket. Along with your meal comes 2 slices of toast with garlic butter my family did not like it, I would suggest they serve Texas toast on plain butter! Overall meal was ok. Price for basket with drink was $9.99 plus tax which is average cost. Thank read more

Thought Chik-Fil-a was the pinnacle of chicken sandwiches, this place haunts my dreams. Everything here is pretty good, the sandwich is my go too. read more

The customer service is cool and I bet the food is good (DoorDash) but the wait time is ridiculous.

Great chicken, dipping sauces are wonderful. The lady who was cleaning was forced to man the cash register, which ended up being kind of a disaster. Luckily the regular person stepped in and made everything okay. I like the lemonade, and wish they had beer. The wings were slightly under sauced, but they were more than happy to give me an extra side of sauce. Overall very good experience. Bring your jacket, it's cold inside. read more

Their Dessert in a jar is to die for! I've never tried any of their other food yet, but I'll def be returning there to try it. If it's anything like what I just ate, im sure it will be mouth watering read more

Terrible customer service! They handedxme cold food in the drive thru twice. Sabrina whom was supposedly the manager had no customer service skills at all. Did not apologize for anything not to mention let's her staff smoke in the kitchen. My first time visiting and definitely will be the last. read more

Good chicken and I love the deserts in Mason jars. As to sides, corn was OK but fries and beans were great.

I recently moved to the San Antonio area and we have a lot of these back home in Lubbock. I found out they had one in Helotes, I decided to go there with my Cousin and his wife. I ordered what I always order, the chicken and waffles. It was delicious and tasted like it did back home. They don't lie when they say it's comfort food! Service was great and made me feel less homesick! Thanks SC!! read more

The chicken is nice! We got strips and wings. The strips were wonderful, as were all the sauce options. The strips were lightly breaded, but flavorful. The wings were good, but I definitely preferred the strips. They to scriracha garlic, it's great! The Mac and cheese was pretty alright. It was not disappointing, but just average. No complaints. The fries were nice as well. Great fast food joint. I'll be giving them another try when I'm in the mood for chicken. read more

Good sauces. We have gone here once before and the first time was great! This time we ordered the new chicken sandwich and the chicken breast was so tough, had grey colored areas in the breast itself. The fries were so tough and cold. The wings had a toughness as well. You can literally see the color difference in the white chicken breast that appears fine and then the grey colored meat next to it. I would highly suggest this restaurant looks into how the food is stored, cooked, and make sure it is served fresh. Chicken should not be grey. read more

We came here for brunch on a Sunday. As we drove into the parking lot, we saw a couple people playing with a life size Jenga in the outdoor seating area. Since it was our first time here, I was happy to see that this was a family friendly establishment. To our delightful surprise, kids eat free with an adult entree for a limited time. My husband and I tried the chicken and waffles, my son the 3-3 and my kids got the chicken tender kids meal with fries and Texas toast. Each meal comes with a drink. The manager on duty took our order and he was really friendly. He asked us how our day was and thanked us for coming in. We sat at a table and he brought our food over a short time later. Our waffles were in the shape of Texas with chicken tenders over it covered with syrup. The kids meal was a big portion and it filled them up. They have TVs around the restaurant which was great because we were able to watch the NBA games. If you plan on eating here on a Sunday, come before noon because it started filling up when we left. Overall, customer service was great and we would definitely be back. read more

Decent food, hits the spot. Might need to look at a name change from Slim Chickens to Slow Chickens. I've been to this location multiple times since the kids like it and it's relatively close to home, but service and the time to get an order ready are excruciatingly slow. I'm pretty sure some of these folks have previous careers in the DMV but were let go for being too slow. I just want a 5 piece to bring to my son for school lunch. read more

I found this chicken place onYelp and one look at the dessert had me telling my daughter, 'come on, let's go '. The food was great, the world's pickest kids scarfed up their plates. The coating on the chicken was not like you usually get, it was thinner so you really tasted the chicken. They also had a bunch of dips and sauces for dipping. The wings were good and the kids loved the chicken strips. And if you order early you can get this strawberry shortcake in a mason jar thats great. The staff was super friendly and the manager was always around assuring you were happy with everything, and we were. Will be going back for sure. read more

I was so excited when I saw that they opened up a location in SA. I went to one in Houston and loved it! Perfect spot for lunch and they serve chicken and waffles! Love that they keep the areas clean and there's also seating outside. I typically get their chicken and waffles but decided to change it up and get their Chick's plate. Fries are seasoned well and so are their tenders! Their tenders are juicy and I love the coating. It's crunchy and full of flavor! I paired it with their slims sauce, tastes similar to Chick-fil-A sauce but a darker color. My sister got their chicken and waffles, it was amaazzzinnggg. The waffle is super thick and fluffy. Comes with butter and maple syrup on the side. Perfect spot for a quick lunch with family and friends! read more

Not a fan of chicken tenders really but I wanted to try out the new place. I got the 3 & 3, wings and tenders with slaw. I got the Korean bbq wings and having been to Korea, I'm kind of a snob when something advertises itself as Korean anything. These wings were really and I mean really good and the tenders I can tell were soaked in buttermilk, they were soooo tender. The slaw was good. I found out they also give military discount which is a plus in my book, since the price is a little high read more

Very disappointing visit. Small menu and bland chicken with pricey $ for what you get. They are definitely not Cane's! Chicken strips were okay but lacked flavor and reminded me somewhat of Bush's chicken. read more

We've been looking for a new wing spot. This place gots the hook up You can get wings,fries and garlic bread for about 10 bucks. They have sides my kids normally eat as their meal which is definitely a plus. The customer service was okay, they did forget my fried pickles. I opted for their mason jar Oreo cheesecake that was creamy and sweet but I still have to try their friend pickles. They have a pretty decent flavor profile of wings. The buffalo weren't too tangy and the Korean BBQ wasn't spicy. Don't cast aside their chicken tenders, those babies are tender,juicy, and made to order. Only reason for the 4 stars was the missed fried pickles. read more

Oh My talk about awesome chicken strips! Absolutely tasty, simulator to Zaxby's chicken strips, no breading. The Mac&Cheese taste just like Grandma's homemade version. Stays open until Midnight on Sunday. The price is very responsible. I will be back. And I check out the reviews on Yelp, others opinions count. read more

We always get chicken and waffles from here and every time it is amazing. It's basically our Sunday morning go to. However, I decided to branch out one evening and order "dinner food" and I was sadly disappointed. I ordered the family meal and received none of the sauces I asked for (delivered through Uber) and our sides were not a large portion. The large containers were barely half way filled. I will still give them 5 stars for their chicken and waffles and continue to stick with just eating there for breakfast/brunch. read more

This is my new favorite place to get wings and chicken strips. The food was excellent. There were tons of dipping sauces and wing flavors to choose from. The staff was very friendly. The only issue we did have was that they food did take a bit long to come out. They may have just had an off night. We will definitely be back. Might try the chicken sandwich next! Yum. read more

We stopped in on our way to see Willie at Floore's. We were to meet friends at another restaurant and have dinner but they weren't there yet and we didn't feel like waiting, figured we'd catch up for drinks when they got where they were going. Anyways we scored by going to Slims. I had the four or five-piece plate and my wife had a salad with fried chicken. The chicken was lightly breaded and was just perfect, I ended up having to have three sauces because I couldn't make my mind up on just two. Afterwards, we had a good chat with the manager, I think his name was Andrew if not, I'm sorry for forgetting. Anyways, it was good conversation and appreciate that he took the time out of his busy schedule to check on us. We will be back on our next show to Floore's. By the way, our friends that went to another restaurant in town, it had an hour and a half wait time. They didn't get dinner before the show, we did. Ha ha. read more

Just ok. Little overpriced IMO. Food quality was ok...not a lot of kids meal options. read more

I love wings! I really really love wings and my wife isn't a huge fan of them. This means I don't get Wing Stop nearly as often as I'd like. Then the best thing ever happened. Slim Chickens opened and they sell wings and strips, AND they have mango habanero which is by far my favorite wing flavor. I really wanted Slim Chickens to be good. I've been there 3 times. The first time the wings and fries were cold but in their defense it took me a while to get around to eating after I bought them so I figured that was on me. The second time my wings and fries were cold, the wings were very tough and there was very little sauce on the wings. Aside from that my wife ordered a salad with ranch dressing and she was not given any dressing. This on top of the fact that their "made to order" pie was ice cold prompted a call to the store. After my wife told the manager about the poor quality of the food he basically said she was lying. She explained we don't want anything from them, just wanted them to know. To this he claimed he'd check if the fryer was at the right temp (as if that would cause cold fries). Because I'm thick headed and really wanted Slim Chickens to be good we went back a third time. Again my wife got no dressing with her salad and my wings were tough as jerky. I won't be going back a fourth time. Their chocolate pie is good. read more

It's not what I expected but the chicken and waffle was good. I thought the chicken tenders would be better and I thought you can order actual fried chicken. read more

Go there for the chicken, not the service. They literally never have enough help. Service lags, prices do not reflect the end product.

This place is great !!! I love the fried pickles and cake in a jar. Honestly such a fun place 10/10.

The potato salad is awesome. The chicken isn't heavily breaded. Gravy was good. Toast was good. Place is super clean and staff is very attentive. We'll be back. read more

I was severely disappointed. The chicken was ok. The sauce, meh. But most of all it was the GM. It was slow (prob cause her) But she was very rude and put me in a rush to get out... Helotes Slim Chicken, stay away until a new GM. read more

Great food, great service. Christopher was awesome super friendly, and super helpful.

I LOVE THEY TEA, but when I come they're always low on it, but that's on me to be honest, because I come 1 hour till closing. But their chicken is great read more

Great location with plenty of parking and seating. Nice outdoor patio too. The fries are lite and crispy. I think one of the best fries in town. The chicken strips are really hit or miss. Got the 3 piece meal and bit into a piece that was incredibly salty. Other 2 pieces were normal. A few weeks later the same thing happened, got a tender that was seasoned with too much salt. read more

Absolutely delicious and fresh chicken tenders. The Food took a little bit of a wait but everything was fresh and right out of the fryer. Not greasy but super tender and amazing. The fries were perfect for what you get and the toast was as good as it gets. Would recommend for anyone in the area to come over and give it a try. read more

I had to give this location a star to review and that is the only reason why. I recently visited this location awhile back and was very disappointed. Now, I know why there wasn't any cars in the drive thru. I placed an order for a 6 piece count wings. I waited for someone to come on the speaker after about 3 hello's and I placed what I thought was my order. After arriving at the window. The window attendant didn't repeat my order nor confirm it. However, asked for payment, closed window, gave me my order and I left. I was in the area because my friend needed a ride home from work that day. I didn't check my order, assuming it was correct and I didn't want to be rude about it in front of the window attendant. I drove off. Once home, I opened the order to something I didn't order. It was a chicken sandwich of some sort. I don't like bread so I didn't eat it. Besides that it didn't look good, so instead I called the cooperate office first to complain about the customer service and how I was attended during my visit. I was instructed to call the local restaurant to make a complaint about the service I received that day and the wrong order that was given to me as well. I spoke to both a female manager and a male GM that was visiting that day (I didn't get there names because I was assured that I was going to get my order replaced in its entirely). I was not looking for a free meal because I had already paid full price for what I originally thought I ordered. The GM I spoke to took my name down and number. I did mention that I did not live in Helotes and that I would return randomly to pick up my order. He also assured me that there was no time frame to have my order replaced. Today, I sent my children to pick my order up assuming that my name was written down on their records but it wasn't. I then called the Helotes location and spoke to a GM and he questioned me as if I stole a meal from them. I just sent my kids to pick an order I had already paid for about a month prior. The GM I spoke to today was named Jose Esquido ( excuse my pronunciation). After our call ended he made me feel as if I was trying to get a free meal from their company. Believe me if I was gonna lie and get a free meal off a restaurant it would if been from CANES. Their food is much better. I'm sure they don't make their customers feel as if they were trying to get a free meaI, if the order was wrong and just needed to be replaced. To be honest, what happened to the customer is always right. ***I do not recommend going thru the drive thru at this location nor to give them business, if they are not going to believe in their customers nor write down their names for an order they messed up on. If you do find yourself there. Check your order and give CANES a try. You won't be disappointed. And to the GM I spoke to today. Thanks for NOTHING! I will make sure to expose your rude professionalism on all reviews possible. Now, I feel like you stole something from me. MY money for an order I never received. Thieves!!!!! read more

Trying new restaurants is always an adventure! The cashiers were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Often times I have a hard time finding a reasonably price wing and chicken plate. I ordered the 3&3 plate which consists three wings, three chicken tenders, Texas toast, Fries and a drink for 9.99. The Cayenne Ranch sauce was amazing though I wasn't really a fan of the Slim Ranch sauce. I look forward to trying other items on the menu. read more

I went today for the first time and loved it! I had driven past the restaurant a couple of times and saw just how full it was....I had to give it a try myself (: I talked a little with one of the managers and actually met the owner as well. They were both very nice and made me feel welcome. The strawberry cheesecake in a jar was delicious! And the chicken tenders with the honey mustard are to die for! read more

I really like this place, but their drive thru service is absolutely terrible! I used to come here quite often, but about 5 months ago when I had to wait 20 min in the drive thru for two 4 piece chicken tender meals I decided to not return. Fast forward to now... came and ordered one wrap meal and waited 15 minutes in the drive thru (whit one car ahead of me)... it's a shame things haven't changed. :-( read more

First time going and had been wanting to check it out for some time! Ordered a simple wing/fries and waited about 10 minutes for the food and I realize that the chicken was fresh but the fries were NOT! Went inside and waited for fresh ones to discover my dipping sauce wasn't in there either!! $14 for 10 wings and fries for my order to not be right!! Disappointed, it wasn't even busy! read more
