    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

    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.

    My waffle was burnt and I'm positively sure someone knew before they put it in the box and handed it out the window

    Chicken Club Sandwich and Chicken strips. Better than Canes and Chik-Fil-A

    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.

    Slim Chickens Classic

    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.

    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.

    Nice to see the menu is available outside

    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.

    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!

The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides.

Between me and hubs, we had a Pan de campo, an order of Gulf Oysters "casino", (4) dressed oysters, a 16 oz dry aged ribeye, a snapper entree and a side of crab fried rice. We finished almost everything except a quarter of the Pan, about a quarter of the rice, and about a third of the ribeye. All were great dishes and would definitely order again. We skipped dessert because honestly none stood out to us. He said their popular dessert is the souffle but they were sold out. Our total before gratuity was about $250 and that included one cocktail. Hubs had their "classic" old fashioned which he said was excellent! Overall, highly recommended if you don't mind the splurge or for a special occasion!

Every time I'm in town, it's either too far, I'm short on time, or (of course) they're closed. FYI: they're closed on Sundays... learned that the hard way, lol Today, though, fate intervened. I was in the area visiting one of our business clients, drove right past it, and immediately told myself: after this meeting, I'm turning around and eating there. No excuses. Fast forward...I parked in front, and I swear it felt like there was a halo over the restaurant name. Okay, maybe I'm being dramatic... but if you've been craving a place for a year, you'd understand. Walking in, the décor was warm and inviting. There's wall artwork and a shelf filled with Filipino snacks...Chocnut, which instantly took me back to childhood. That alone already had me smiling. My servers, Rhiley, Hailey and Adrian weresuch a pleasant surprise. Super welcoming, shared a bit of the restaurant's history, and made the whole experience feel personal. The vibe reminded me of the hangout spots my little brother and I used to go to comfortable, familiar, and full of heart. Now, the food...I knew I was getting a burger... but deciding which one? Not easy. They've got multiple options, and yes...burgers with rice combos (Filipino-approved ). I went with the Jaboi Burger: Siopao bun, Wagyu patty, medium rare, Sauce that tied everything together beautifully...I also ordered the garlic fries and sampled their sauces. My favorites? The house-made mayo and BBQ...both solid wins. To end the meal, dessert was a must. I ordered the halo-halo (small size), which honestly is perfect for sharing. A sweet, nostalgic way to close out the experience. Everything was amazing. Truly worth the wait and yes, I'll definitely be back.

Once we sat down, we were served a small bowl of potato chips which were pretty bland. We ordered the lechon kawali as a warm up. It was very crispy, dry and lacking in flavor. The sauce tasted like a mix between balsamic dressing and brown gravy, but didn't really help improve the taste of the pork belly. For entrees, we ordered the Flip 'n Patties burger and the mini Kamayan. The burger itself was good, but the unexpected pickle (not listed on the menu) kind of ruined the burger for me. The mini kamayan arrived mostly lukewarm, and several of the meats were dry. The chicken pupu was decent, Tito Don's BBQ tasted like a dry bbq brisket, the longganisa reminded me of a seasoned hamburger patty. I skipped the fliproll after my friend said it was bland. The decor is very casual, the service was friendly and attentive, and parking was easy with a free lot.

When we arrived and gave our name for our reservation, we were seated in an area that was visibly dirty -- the seats had not been cleaned. We requested to move to another table, which they accommodated without issue. Our waitress was pleasant and gave good drink recommendations. However the drinks were not strong at all -- and if a drink isn't strong, what's the point? The drink was good just not enough alcohol. The food was a different story. I originally wanted the brisket tacos but was told they were out of brisket, so I had to settle for something else that somewhat fit my taste. My potatoes were essentially scraps -- hard and inedible. My pancake was dry, cold, and arrived with no butter. It was just not a good pancake. The eggs were fine -- eggs are eggs. My friends didn't fare much better. One ordered the steak bites and rice pilaf and said her food was too sweet but the steak was tender. The other got the grilled chicken sandwhich and felt the pesto was overwhelming -- way too much of it. We also ordered deviled eggs, which were completely overpowered by a heavy-handed spicy mustard. If you know mustard, you know it takes over everything -- and it did. The bacon and Tabasco flavors were completely lost. When I flagged my potatoes to the food runner, they offered to bring more -- but why would I want more of something that should never have been served in the first place? I declined. This was our first and last visit to Daily Gather. Nothing about the experience was spectacular or special enough to bring us back.
