We've eaten here twice so far. The first time we ordered online and I brought it home. I would not recommend going this route. You end up waiting for your food for a while, it's not made as one order, and by the time you get home, it's no longer fresh. Dining in was a whole other experience! The food came out hot and was absolutely delicious! The service was excellent as well! If you're going to eat here, dine in for the full experience! read more

Have been seeing and hearing a lot of great things from friends and on social media about Slim Chickens, so decided to give it a try. We arrived about 7pm, on a Friday and the restaurant wasn't very busy at all. My wife and I had both signed up for their rewards program which automatically gave us each a $5 discount on our first orders, so using the kiosks, we placed our orders separately to take advantage of the discount. Their menu is pretty on par with other chicken spots, offering wings, tended, sandwichs. Pricing is on, maybe a little high for chicken. We placed our orders to go, I ordered a chicken tender basket with an Oreo milkshake, my wife got a chicken sandwich meal. After ordering we took a seat to wait, and wait...and wait. After about 15 minutes, my milk shake was ready, another 10 minutes, my food finally came out...and then we had to wait another 10+ minutes for my wife's food to be ready...far from fast food, 2 basic orders took over 30 minutes to prepare....pretty shameful. It was very clear they seem to put a priority on delivery and online orders over in store ordering. And they also seemingly only have one person in the kitchen that can only prepare one meal at a time. It's clear they are short staffed, but there are no signs up or perceived attempts at hiring. When we finally got home, the food was good, and the portions were adequate, but the slow food prep and lack of customer service is a huge deterrent for me to return any time soon. read more

The chicken was good but the wait was almost 30 mins!! Nice dining room, with kiosks at the counter for self service . The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, so many orders and door dash drivers picking up orders. These orders seemed to make the in person customers wait even longer than it should have been. That is the impression I got. read more

And yet another fast/casual, fried chicken chain in the Triad! This one was started in 2003 in Fayetteville AR by 2 childhood friends. The number of restaurants currently stand at nearly 300. The menu centers on chicken tenders and wings, with several sandwiches available as well. There are a few sides and a double handful of house made sauces offered also. I know this will appear heretically but I'm not a fan of chicken tenders, especially those offered by the majority of fast casual chains. I do like the Nashville Hot tenders at Chili's, and the Chicken Tender Sandwich at Smithfield Chicken. But generally, I prefer bone in chicken or a fried chicken sandwich with a well sized breast or thigh. They do offer a Crispy Chicken Sandwich here for $5.59 - 60 cents higher than KFC and Popeye's, whose filets are a bit larger, Slims is 8 ounces. The menu description for the Crispy Chicken Sandwich - "A 100% all natural chicken breast dipped in buttermilk marinade lightly breaded, perfectly fried and topped with crisp pickles and ranch mayo on a toasted bun. This is no namby pamby chicken sammy!" Well, OK then. The sandwich was ok but was not a game changer. While the filet had a nice crunch and decent flavor, and the pickles were indeed crisp, the sandwich as served was under sauced, muted by the brioche bun as well. The combo was right at $11.50. This sandwich is about average among the chain sandwiches, well below KFC, Popeye's, Culver's, and even Cook Out. I would not try this spot again! read more

Slim Chickens - Kids Tender Meal - Waffles Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

(3.5 stars) Given the drive-thru lines, one might expect Slim Chickens to be something other than Slightly Fancier Zaxby's. However, that's what this chain is in a nutshell. In addition to the expected tenders, wings, sandwiches, and salads, Slim Chickens offers tender mac & cheese bowls, chicken & waffles, and various fried vegetables as sides. I opted for a fried chicken salad, ordered through the drive thru. Thankfully, the previously reported lengthy delays seem to be a thing of the past. Service was smooth and efficient. The salad was generously sized and included a variety of veggies (carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce) as well as fried onions. At $10.50 with a drink and two dressings (I went with ranch and honey mustard) included, it proved to be a good value. The chicken was moist and nicely breaded, but it lacked depth of flavor. Though filling and perfectly palatable, I'd be lying if I said the salad was anything special. If there weren't so many other chicken options in town, Slim Chickens would perhaps make more of an impression. It's definitely not bad, but it also doesn't really rise above the fray. read more

Slim Chickens is a new to the area chicken chain, that has Louisiana roots. For their first Triad location, they picked High Point, and based on my visit, y'all would think people have never seen fried chicken before. It was so busy, that I was tempted to turn around and walk out, but I decided to push on... because usually when places are busy, the food comes out hot, and that's what ya want right? There was a run down church in this spot, and I'm sure they got a nice check to pack up and move elsewhere, as this is now a prime shopping area in north HP. That said, whoever chose the layout for the drive-thru and parking should not be trusted to do so again. It's pretty awful. No matter where you are going or your intention, you're going to be in a tight squeeze and competing with someone else's car. I decided to go with chicken tenders for my first meal there. Slim's meal comes with 5 tenders, texas toast, a side and 2 sauces, which sounds like a lot, but these are more like the chicken strips from CFA than a nice big chicken tenderloin. I found it to be just about right when the order came out. Normally the meal comes with fries, I paid a couple extra dollar upcharge for pickle chips. There are several other sides to choose from for an upcharge over the fries. I got mango habanero and korean BBQ for my chicken sauces, and ranch with the pickles. I had a 20 minutes wait for my chicken, which they were nice and upfront about. Service in general was polite and cordial, ambience was very tight, but there is a patio for a nice day which I chose. When it arrived, everything looked quite tasty, very visually appealing. In execution, I thought the chicken was pretty mid. The breading had a nice flavor, and I love the variety of sauces (Korean BBQ was the best one I chose, mango habanero was OK) but these chicken tenders were kind of thin, which made them taste dry. Not chalky dry, edible dry. Thankfully the sauce made that better. The pickle chips were also not all that great, they weren't crispy, though I would say they looked to not be a frozen variety, definitely dipped and fried to order which is great. Texas toast was buttery, the ranch was really good. All in all, with so much chicken competition in North Carolina in general, I thought this was just fine. I might come back again later when the popularity has died down some and try a sandwich, but for now, I'm OK not rushing back. read more

Tucked into the growing landscape of High Point's casual dining scene, Slim Chickens offers a fast-casual Southern-style experience that delivers solid value, approachable variety, and a few menu surprises--though not without its limitations. The Meal: I sampled the 4-piece chicken tender plate, opting for a side salad--a choice that turned out to be one of the unexpected highlights. Crisp greens, fresh toppings, and a balanced home made ranch dressing made it a refreshing counterpoint to the fried fare. My son mirrored the order but chose fries, which were golden, seasoned well, and satisfying in that familiar comfort-food way. Two members of our group tried the Mac & Cheese Bowls--a creamy, indulgent blend topped with chopped tenders. The feedback was unanimous: very good, and more importantly, worth a repeat. Another diner had the standard 4-piece plate with mac & cheese as a side, rounding out the comfort-forward selections. A vanilla milkshake was also on the table--classic, rich, and notably well-executed, proving Slim Chickens can hold its own when it comes to dessert indulgences. Flavor & Execution: The chicken tenders, Slim Chickens' cornerstone, were solid but unremarkable. They had a crisp exterior and moist interior but lacked a defining seasoning or texture that might elevate them beyond the competition. Think reliable, not revelatory. Their signature sauces, sold at $0.40 each, added character and variety--flavorful, if slightly overpriced, considering other chains include them freely. Still, they did lift the chicken in much-needed ways. They did tell me the next time that I visit they could toss the tenders in what ever flavor I'd like and that's included in the price of the meal. Overall Experience: Pricing felt fair for the portions and variety, and the service was quick--a crucial quality for fast-casual spots aiming to balance efficiency with flavor. While I've certainly had better chicken elsewhere, Slim Chickens delivers a dependable meal that's especially strong on sides and specialty items like the Mac & Cheese Bowl and milkshakes. Final Verdict: A respectable showing with a few standouts. The chicken won't blow you away, but if you're in the area and want a quick, satisfying Southern-inspired meal with decent variety and comfort food flair, Slim Chickens is worth a return visit--just maybe not a special trip. read more

This is a new chicken spot in High Point. They opened 3/24/25, and from the first day the drive-thru line has been WRAPPED around the building. Last night I placed an order online at 7:45; ready for to pickup at 8:15. I made my way there and even at that time, there were only 2 parking spaces available but the drive-through was not long. Inside is not large but no one was waiting in a table. There was a line-up at the drink machine though (odd). I noticed they do have 2 ordering windows so that will be helpful when the newness wears off. The food was good, a tad salty, but I will order something different next time. read more

First time at Slim Chickens recently. Reminded me a lot of Canes. Hand breaded tenders, not pre breaded and frozen. Juicy and tender. Great fries and good sauces. Hits the mark if you're tired of Chick Fil A and do not want Bojangles or Popeyes. Definitely a grade above those two mega chicken chains. I'll be back to try the sandwich and the wings. read more

This restaurant is new to me and new to the area. Let me say this: this place was banging. Everything was tasty, as you would expect at a restaurant specializing in fried chicken and potatoes. The inside of the establishment was new, funky, and "hip" with writing on the walls and sleek white tiles everywhere, with lots of windows. I did not venture to the bathroom while I was there, but as clean as the rest of the restaurant was, I would have to assume that it would carry over. When I went on a Saturday around 2 pm, they were still quite busy. But I was able to place my order quickly. I got a smaller meal of 3 tenders, fries, and a drink. They had many combinations of tenders, and even had some wings, which I will have to try in the future. The breading of the chicken was crunchy and flavorful, and cooked to perfection, the oil that the chicken was fried in, seemed fresh as well. Now, the best part: if you're a sauce girl or guy, you've got to swing by this joint. As you can see from my pics, these are homemade, thick (with three C's), and delicious. I got the house sauce, which was a combo of mayo and ketchup, but elevated, it was way more than "special sauce" that your mom made for you so you would eat dinosaur chicken nuggies. The other sauce I had was a garlic parmesan, and it was simply fantastic. Imagine the garlic butter sauce from Papa John's, but it's much thicker, with more garlic and parmesan. I personally loved that sauce so much, I plan to buy extra on my next time through there. This place was a really, really great place to grab a quick and reasonably price meal. I hope these guys put Zaxby's outta business! read more

I go inside the door there's napkins on the floor straw paper on the floor I asked the person in the front if My meal was ready. He said no. I waited for a few received my order. The fried okra was cold. I asked for no mayo on my sandwich. It was slathered in mayo on the skinniest piece of chicken breast. I ever seen that was dried out and salty salty salty.

Slim Chickens - Disgusting - Waffles Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

First and foremost, the wings and tenders were fabulous! Also, who I believe was the lead person, I didn't get her name. It began with a D, was absolutely charming, efficient and knowledgeable. She was not my cashier. (see below). This was my first visit. It's atmosphere is McDonald's fast food chic. I was unfamiliar with the menu. Posted were full meals, sides and desserts. It did not list individual meats or prices. The full meals included fries, Texas toast, fries and a drink. One meal was for 5 tenders and 5 wings with the accompanying meal offerings. Well This sounded like a good amount of protein , but I didn't need the other stuff. So I asked if I could just order proteins without the full meal. I was told I could, but the cashier didn't know how much individual meats were. Back to the 5 wings/5 tenders, that meal went for 15.99. I got 3 tenders and 6 wings only for 15.64. I was really unimpressed with the cashier, she should have explained that to me. Also, individual proteins should be posted for the consumer to make an informed decision. I liked the food, and now that I have visited, I will be better prepared. I will be back. read more

Ok. I have mixed feels about this one. The food is delicious, and it does keep me coming back. However, the waiting time is super unpredictable. It's not uncommon to wait in the drive through for 20 minutes or even more. The staff is not super attentive and the orders aren't always correct. I do think there has to be some grace for the fact that they're all brand new as it's a new establishment, so my hope is that everyone will get the hang of it and this restaurant will do great here. I have to say, the food really is great! Just have to weigh time you're willing to wait vs. outcome of delicious food, and then double check your order before you leave. read more

Among all the growing fast food chicken places opening comes this new chain that just opened on Hwy 68 in High Point. Slim Chickens reminds me of a more modern Cane's. They specialize in fried chicken with specialized sauces. I went for lunch in a Friday around noon and seating was full. Interior decoration was nice and modern with a touch of antique flair. The electronic menu board had their tenders and wings. They offer Mac and cheese bowls, sandwiches, wraps, salads, and special jar desserts and milkshakes. I opted for the chicken club sandwich combo. It was an above average sandwich compared to other competitors. The chicken was hand made and didnt seem pre-frozen and mass produced. Service was unexceptional. They seem to be still growing through expansion pains as the manager yelled at the my cashier to wear her slim chicken hat. It took 20 min to get my food. Bottom line, it was clean, food was good, service could be improved. I'd like to come back to try their other offerings. read more

Ok.. I was waiting to try this place, I've been ready to call this place an upgraded Zaxbys, but this place has it figured out. I ordered a Cheyenne chicken sandwich and also a chick's meal. The chick's meal consists of 3 chicken strips and fries, drink and toast. What makes the meal is the fact that the fries are tasty. The bread is texas toast style with a hint of garlic buttery. The slim sauce is very good. My only complaint is my sandwich was cold, but the first bite you taste the flavors would have been better if it was fresh. It's good food I approve. I will be back to try the wings. read more

The chicken sandwich was served cold, bun and chicken. The chicken was tough and tasteless. The Mac and cheese was gooey and over priced and small serving. The fried okra was flavorless! This was my second visit and I will not return! read more

Food quality was really good. Had the chicken strips and chicken wings with dry rub lemon pepper. The strips were really good but slightly salty. The wings were really good too I liked the flavor choices too but they were salty as well. The fries were nothing remarkable. I like Zaxby's crinkle cut fries way better. Wait time for drive through is not bad knowing the food is cooked fresh. The dipping sauces are ok to good and you get a lot of choices. Would I go back? Heck yeah. I liked it overall. read more

First off, they have a kiosk to order. They do not greet you. This was our first visit so we had to figure out the flow. After taking our seats with a number, we waited for our food and assumed the cups were going to be brought out. Once they were not, I asked for them, had to present my receipt as if I was not being honest and then the waitress advised "I guess people don't read" to imply it was my fault on how to retrieve the drinks. For a family of three and 40.00 later the food had zero flavor. read more

This is the 3rd visit and the slowest. 2 cars in the drive thru and NO ONE inside waiting. Why did it take over 25 minutes for 3 sandwich meals. The first 2 times it was around dinner time so I understand the wait, but over 25 minutes and no one inside waiting the restaurant is crazy. Don't know if I'm coming back. read more

I've been to Slim Chickens several times now and there's just not much to criticize! I've ordered the tender meals and Mac bowls and have never been disappointed. Service is friendly, quick, and accurate. The atmosphere is typically fast casual, not elaborate but welcoming and modern. The food is definitely a cut above other restaurants with similar price points. I hope that they do well here. read more

Very mediocre food. Took 30 min to get food! Will not be returning. Will go to Zaxby's because it's better chicken.

I went through the drive-through place my order they repeated it. It was correct pulled up to the window. The girl working in the window had the worst attitude I have ever seen. She only partially read my order and I said that's not what I ordered she says oh you want me to read the whole order. I said yes to make sure that it's correct after I got my food and pulled away. The order was incorrect so when I went back through the drive-through, she really had an attitude didn't want to take the wrong food back other workers behind them watching like it was a movie, but the assistant manager made it correct and gave me the right food. The food was mediocre. Just my opinion I would not go back. read more

IMPRESSED !! I fancy myself a "chicken sandwich snob" and typically ONLY frequent the chicken & pickles 'other place'. CFA food is SO salty I refuse to go there any more.

I'll start out with what was good. The chicken sandwich actually tasted good now to the shit show. The fries tasted like day old stale fries. I had to wait 30 minutes for my order as I waited for my order I saw almost twice as many orders, go out the drive-through as we're brought into the dining room. The app was not working to allow me to order and then pick up. They got my order wrong and didn't shake in my chicken with the sauce when I tried to order on the app it showed I could choose two sauces. I only got one I asked for a second sauce and was told I would have to pay for it. I said in the app let me choose to the manager, looked at my receipt and said, but that's for the bigger meal not for your four piece chicken meal to which I said so I wait 30 minutes for my meal and you can't give me an extra ranch wow read more

We were invisible from the minute we walked in. The tables had trash all over them. No one was behind the counter. The place was new but nasty. I've been to one in other states and they were so clean and friendly. Very disappointing. We waited 50 minutes for food and they served other people around us. Never ever coming back here read more
