First time trying Slim Chicken and it's a great alternative choice compared to Dave Hot chicken, Raisin Cane, KFC, etc.. Clean dining room, lovely service. I really appreciate the fresh meal, great buttery crispy toast, firm, creamy, chunky awesome potato salad. I can taste that the potato salad was made in house not from a jar, it has a fresh taste to it. The tenders are firm, fresh, well seasoned, and fried. The interior of the chicken is moist and juicy, and I would say the exterior is a too salty but the salt does help with the overall taste of the chicken. But too much salt. The Cayanne ranch is a great dipping sauce, creamy white ranch with a hint of spice. A really small tiny amount of spice. Good ranch, not the best compared to Wingstop but good ranch. I wouldn't say it's better ranch than Buffalo Wild Wings, the BWW ranch is better but this is ok ranch. Overall great experience for under $12. Must try. read more

I ordered the tenders because they were Bogo. The tenders seem mass produced now. I dont remember them looking so lack luster. The garlic parmesan sauce was good. I also enjoyed their fries. Way better than most fast food places. I will be back for the fries. The chicken is overpriced for the serving size. I think they should lower their prices. Also the lemonade tasted watered down. If I get another bogo promotion. I will order again. If not, hard pass. read more

On the way to work Wednesday, I stopped first at KFC but their registers and computers were down and there would be a wait. I decided to try Slim Chickens just down the street on Westheimer. This will be my FIRST and LAST time going there. Don't expect to get a nice juicy freshly cooked chicken breast like you would from KFC or Popeyes. This is a pounded out been frozen already cooked and put in the microwave and nuked, dry, tough, chicken breast! Like I do with my Popeyes or KFC Chicken sandwiches, (I buy two) and deconstruct them at the office on a plate and have coleslaw on the side, perfectly juicy, cooked to perfection, and very tasty! Not so at Slim CHickens. Whgile the wait staff was nice the chicken was HORRIBLE, just don't go by, be disapointed, and by all means, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY... read more

This location does Slim Chicken's justice. I've always had my food correctly prepared and it does take a little time for everything to cook, but it comes out fresh and delicious. An extra thank you to the employee Marquice for the amazing customer service and wit! read more

We made a catering order for 35. Taylor was the star of the show. She made sure everything was right. If not for her, we would not be ordering again. Food was fantastic! read more

This location keeps changing their managers and everyone has different rules on how the menu is going to work. I asked for the slim wrap with sub honey mustard. Instead of the ranch. The Hispanic lady was being difficult and rude saying they can't do that because it's not a house sauce when it clearly says on the menu it is a house sauce. She said she would be doing me a favor. I don't know who owns this location but managers can't keep and choose how the menus go. read more

Back for the 3rd time and got the Hungry meal which is 7 strips, fries, 2 pieces of toast which is a piece of bread cut diagonally and a drink. It comes with 2 sauce and we got the slim sauce and the honey bbq. The slim sauce has a sweet finish like it has sweet relish in it and it's a no for me. This is my second time having the honey bbq and it's my fave so far. The bread is like a garlic toast and so good and the strips were pipping hot! Everything was good read more

Established was clean in the outside inside and restroom (only hot water) to wash hands, but I been to several establishments and water was the same there. We order two chicken and waffles chicken strips were tender not crispy and waffle was a bit crispy next time will ask for less crisp. Also order a chicks meal 3 chicken tenders, Texas toast looked like (normal bread)and fries- fries were good and not hard with honey mustard sauce.chicken club sandwiched was well cooked and seasoned veggies we're fresh ate it with honey mustard. They had. Variety of drinks I recommend the raspberry or peach tea. Chocolate chip brownie was a bit dry and the red velvet Oreo jar dessert was good a little too too sweet I think with out the Oreo it would be better. Customer service was A+. I would go to this restaurant again and I'm sorry but they're better than Dave's chicken around the corner. read more

Slim Chickens - Waffle Only - Southern Near Me - Houston, Texas

Slim Chickens is the high water mark of fast food fried chicken franchises. So good in fact, their chicken 'n waffles is just as good as a certain trendy establishment downtown where people actually wait in a line a 100 yards long for over an hour. Yeah, I said it. Ridiculous statement? Try them and decide for yourself. Furthermore, they have the most delicious desserts, mason jars filled with various types of cheesecakes and brownies. So good! read more

Never thought I'd review a fast food place but this place deserves it. Out of all the fast food chicken spots Slim Chicken has some of the best tasting chicken. Definitely better than Canes and Chik-Fil-A. Their chicken strips are way better seasoned than canes and they have a large variety of sauces for you to choose from. Their slim sauce is great and so is their mango habanero sauce. Their fries are better seasoned than Canes and Chik-Fil-A as well. I like their chicken sandwich way better than Chik-Fil-A, the herb ranch mayo or whatever they put on it makes it taste way better. Not to mention slim chickens is better seasoned. The only thing Canes has that's better is their texas toast and Canes sauce. Otherwise than that Slim Chickens is way better. I don't understand why they aren't more popular. They're priced better than Canes and Chik-Fil-A too. Only thing I think they need to improve on is sometimes the food isn't fresh/cooked to order but neither is Chik-Fil-A. Only chicken place that I feel really cooks to order is Canes. If they fix that consistency issue they're perfect. read more

Slim Chickens - Chicken Club Sandwich and Chicken strips. Better than Canes and Chik-Fil-A - Southern Near Me - Houston, Texas

After seeing many reviews on Yelp for this Slim Chickens location, I decided to try it today for lunch. It's very close to a Chick-Fil-A which I think is tasty... but not a great value for the $$$. The restaurant is clean and the people are friendly (and helpful) when you place your order. I ordered the Classic which is 4 tenders, fries, garlic toast and a drink. I also had Spicy BBQ sauce and Korean BBQ sauce. It was fantastic! The chicken was hot and freshly cooked... same for the fries! The garlic toast was great but the order is filling so I left a piece of the bread behind. I recommend this place for certain. Great food and a great value. read more

Slim Chickens - Slim Chickens Classic - Southern Near Me - Houston, Texas

Meh. Glad I finally tried it, but a little disappointed I passed up the Chick-fil-A in the same shopping center for the new try. CfA is always a sure bet. Immediately when I entered, an employee (who seemed to be the manager judging by her blue polo verses the black polos everyone else was wearing) was on the phone (SPEAKER PHONE, that is) talking very loudly with what seemed to be another coworker about a mystery shopper who had been in the store. A mystery or secret shopper is a type of market research that uses a shopper to act as a true customer to evaluate the customer experience in-person, over the phone, or online. She was telling the other person she couldn't believe the mystery shopper was real and said she looked like a regular person THEN went onto to say the shopper looked like a low life. I am seriously surprised the woman didn't catch my looks of disapproval and annoyance. Talk about terrible customer service and not handling things professionally! I ordered my meal with another associate and made my way to the drink counter. They have sweet tea and lemonade. Mixed them both together and made myself an Arnold Palmer - which was pretty good. The blue polo shirt speaker phone lady was still going on but this time something about bonuses for her employees. She finally hung up as I was getting seated. My tenders meal arrived to my table in a timely fashion. The tenders were piping hot. I could tell they were "made to order" as their murals indicate. I chose ranch, garlic parmesan and gravy for my dips. The ranch was very good. Nice and cold plus full of creamy flavor. The garlic parmesan was like cold lemon herb sauce which was terrible. The gravy was lumpy and had no flavor, even after I added black pepper. The tenders themselves were pretty good. The coating is minimal, so they weren't greasy. The Texas toast was bland, and the fries were basic. Not impressed with the meal at all. 3 stars is more than I should give. As I am sitting there trying to make the meal the best I could, blue polo shirt speaker phone lady came back out to help a customer who walked into order. Mid order, she took her lip balm out of her pocket and applied it liberally to her lips then completed the order. I was floored. I can't understand how this woman is a manager. That is so bad to do in front of customers. She just though a mystery shopper was bad. Does she have any idea about reviewers who reach a bigger audience?! This is when I wish I wasn't such an observant person. Speaking of observant. I noticed the only car in the parking lot close to the store never moved while I was dining. I was the only person in the store until the man walked in 20 minutes after me. I saw him park near me in the extended area parking. With that said, who was parked there? An employee?? Those spaces should be saved for customers. That's customer service 101. All in all, I am being generous with my 3 stars. Will not return. read more

I got hungry after seeing my acupuncture doctor. Right before I hopped on the road, I saw a new restaurant. I remember before Slim Chickens was Carl's Jr. After CoVid pandemic, this building was boarded up until last year. Once I saw the new sign, I knew it's gonna be something good. Location is not just everything, but the food offer and variety are also big parts of a successful restauranteur. I know Slim is not reference to a figure but a person's nickname. Because it offers southern comfort food. I was reading the menu from the QR code that I scanned in the parking lot. I thought I still need to interact with the human, I'll just ask for a recommendation. Cashier was really friendly and knowledgeable. She read my mind on Waffle and Chicken. I'm newbie to this dish. I never knew what's the proper way to eat this. I started eating chicken, then eat the waffle with butter and syrup. The chicken strips were so tender and fresh. Waffle was soft - perfect for my old man's bites. I wasn't paying too much attention to my food because I found some interesting reviews on Yelp. Oh, the ice teas were made with freshly brewed tea. I tasted when they were lukewarm. The sweet tea was real Southern tea. Yeah, I'll be back for the sandwich. read more

Oh the chicken, what a delicious bird! As Katt Williams once said the pure existence of the chicken is just proof that God loves you! I couldn't agree more. In the heart of Westheimer, Slim Chickens, the fast food chain, is here to bring you all types of items with God's most delicious bird. This includes bowls, burgers, sandwiches, wraps and chicken strips. I've been to the Katy location, and had a delicious experience, so expected nothing less here. The staff was descent, just a bunch of teens working the front, typical of many fast food joints. For the most part, the restaurant also seems pretty clean and is spacious on the inside. Typically, my go-to at Slim Chickens is one of those delicious Chicken Mac & Cheese Bowls (whenever they are in season), however this time we decided to go for something different. We went for a Club Sandwich with fries, the Smokey Wrap with fried chicken tenders (you have the option of choosing fried or grilled), fountain drinks, and some world famous Strawberry Cheesecake in a mason jar. All was absolutely delicious, as God would have intended. This place can even give Chick-Fil-A a run for their money. They have a wide array of fountain drinks as well, and delicious sweet tea to chose from. Their desserts are well recognized, and served in a neat mason jar with the slim chicken logo on it (a sharply dressed chicken, ready to serve you the best). Its always a good time here, a must, and all at a good price as well! read more

Don't shoot the messenger, but I prefer Slims to Canes, except there aren't as many locations. The chicken is just as juicy and crispy but they have way more selection of sauces to choose from. You can even have the tenders sauced when you order. This location was very clean and the staff were extra friendly and helpful. read more

Slim Chickens - Slim's Meal 20oz Sweet Tea Side Salad - Southern Near Me - Houston, Texas

destiny and Daniel were very great with their the food tasted great and it was fresh not cold

I just got home from ordering some Slim Chickens and first impressions are they are incompetent. I ordered the tender and Mac meal for my kid and they left off the chicken tenders. I mean, there were only two customers, me and the car in front of us, and they STILL messed up the order. Fries are below average. The wife is liking the mushrooms though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. The wings taste like they were boiled in water and flash fried (which is not good). LOL. AND my little girl just yelled out that "CANE'S IS BETTER!" Flavor of the garlic parm wings is ok. The two drinks I got are all ice. Will I return? No. Absolutely not. Am I regretting spending my money here? Yes, 100% yes. I still can't believe how bad the chicken and fries are at a chicken place. read more

Slim Chickens - OREO Cheesecake Jar Dessert - Southern Near Me - Houston, Texas

I decided to check out Slim Chicken since when you download the app, you get a free sandwich. I really like that they have mobile orders. When I got to the store, I just went to the pickup section and picked up my food. The free chicken sandwich was the Cayenne Ranch Chicken Sandwich. The sandwich was a bit saltier than my taste. However, I really like that the sandwich is in a brioche bun and that it was topped with crispy fried onions. Looking at their other food options. I would like to come back and try their wings, and chicken tenders. The chicken waffle sounds interesting as well. Keep ya updated yelpers! read more

Slim Chickens - Cayenne Ranch Chicken Sandwich - Southern Near Me - Houston, Texas

first time, ordered 2 orders of chicken and waffles, asked if i could get chicken breast, they said it only comes in tenders or nuggets, so i said tenders on both, they assured me they would be tenders, they also assured me i would pickles (included) and dave's sauce...waited 25 min with no one in line, got some pathetic chicken clusters, no sauce, 4 microwave waffle sticks covered in cayenne pepper...is this a joke? DONT GO HERE, THEY ARE RUDE & THEY ARE BAD AT WHAT THEY DO...wasted my time and money...thoroughly upset. to make matters worse, it tasted worse than it looked. read more

Very dry chicken heck its dryer than canes 3/5 it's alright but they could do better hack even my cousin can make better tenders

I had the Buffalo wings. It came with fries and toast. The food was fine and the service exceptional as it was my first time at Slim Chicken and they went over the menu with me. I cant say it's better than Buffalo Wild Wings and the hot food made the toast soggy in the container--maybe that's suppose to be that way. If I'm in the area, I'd go back. read more

White manager lady was awesome. Made sure my food was fresh. Great customer service, will definitely be coming back

Decided to try this new spot at the old Carl Jrs location on Westheimer. We ordered wings, tenders and chicken sandwich. I was impressed by their overall menu selection, especially fried pickles, fried mushrooms and fried okra. The okra was excellent. The dry rub Cayenne ranch wings were good but needed a bit more flavor and spicy. Tenders and chicken sandwich were good. Definitely will be back for a follow up visit. read more

Sadly wasn't all that good. Got the chicken club sandwich. My bun was burnt and that's literally all I tasted. It was luck warm and really nothing special to make itself stand out, other than a burnt brioche bun. The Mac n cheese was NOT fresh, like it states. It was definitely sitting throughout the day, not creamy, very dry, cold, clumpy and lacked any cheese flavor. For being opening day, I expected a lot better. Not a good first impression at all. Maybe I'll try again once they learn what they're doing and add something unique to their food to stand out. This is Texas after all. You won't make it if you don't do better than this. However - 2 stars are for the team members. They were very nice and attentive. read more

Amazing Mac and cheese bowl and the chicken is very flavorful. There desserts are good as well. Definitely worth a try.

My first time visiting this brand was a great experience. the customer service was great. th The facility was clean and it had a great atmosphere. The food was made fresh to order and came out promptly. Great job to the young lady from Louisiana who provided excellent service. If your into trying something new for this style of food, I'll definitely recommend. read more

This place f$#^kin sucks. They had a BOGO Deal on the Mac&Cheese Buffalo Pollo tender bowls. So I ordered them on the App. I ran an errand first to I could just go pick it up without a wait. They used to have an area you could pick up To Go orders. Perhaps people were stealing orders or idk but anyway they got rid of that. I had to end up waiting for another nearly 40 Minutes total wait time almost an hour. Also when they finally gave me my food they didn't have a proper bag to put it in so they gave me some half plastic bag, without handles. The bowls were small and oval shaped. I assume they are small bowls so they cheaped me on the size. The taste of the food is very ughhh. Some little kid was coughing everywhere too. Just a terrible experience. read more

ok i loved the food but the portion sizes and the price are on two different wavelengths. for what you get, the price is way too high. definitely more of a lunch rather then dinner place for sure. read more

Very tasty flavors for the chicken! I love the fried okra as a side. But the desserts are the best!

Food is great but the service is lacking. Double-check your order before you drive away. Also, you can almost guarantee something with your delivery order is going to be wrong. read more
