I have wanted to try this restaurant for a while. Today we finally decided to grab some food from here in the drive thru. There was only one person in front of us and by the time we made it to order we still had not decided on what to get but the associate was patient as we took a few minutes. Once we placed our order we drove around and put the car in park because the car in front was still there. We had to wait a total of maybe 10 minutes which wasn't too bad and there is a sign that clearly states the food is made fresh so it may take a little while. The other reviewers didn't read it obviously. The food was good. I had the 6 piece and my husband had the 8 piece. Both in buffalo sauce with the ranch dip. The wings were small, the fries were cold by the time we got home and that was it for the complaints. The chicken was good. The toast was tasty. And the ranch was delicious. We will be back but eating inside next time. read more

Ok my belly is good to go. First time ever here. It's not bad. Has a "11 herbs and spices" flavor to it. The "slim sauce" is good to go!! Tenders were kinda small, but not bad for the price. read more

Slim Chickens - Chicks meal 3 with Mac & Cheese - Chicken Wings Near Me - Independence, Missouri

Food at Slim Chickens is made fresh to order. Choices of wings, salads, sandwiches, desserts, wraps and fries. There are many choices of dips and sauces. Desserts are a little piece of heaven in a jar. These jars can be taken home and enjoyed and reused. Sodas, lemonade and flavored tea are beverage choices. Service is fast and staff are knowledgeable about menu options and choices. I was impressed by seating choices tables, high top tables and covered patio seating is available when the weather is nice. Drive thru is available when you are in a rush. Other locations offer a kids discounted meal on Sundays for $2.99 this location does not honor this like the others do. It's a great deal when it's offered and that would be the only change I would recommend as an improvement. read more

Grilled chicken strips were good the hoarding of the sauces is ridiculous like it's gold or something or company is having financial problems or the chain owner is a jerk Seats and tables were dirty it appears you take your own stuff to the trash and they never go out to clean if I have to put away my trash you have to clean the tables and chairs Outside seating was available read more

The food is always served fresh and hot. Their chicken strip meal is seasoned perfectly, as well as the fries, even the toast is great. On top of all this, they give a 10% discount to seniors. It is unbeatable in value and taste read more

I have never had the desire to try this franchise out, but one of my besties really hyped them up recently. I'm not much of a fast food gal... but I gave it a chance. The whole process took over 40 mins.. for a drive thru line that only had two cars in front of me. I ordered a cayenne ranch chicken sandwich meal. Not a large meal or anything crazy! When I finally received my meal (after parking in a spot to wait) the employee explained that they were low on staff and people called out. Understandable! However, the food wasn't anything special in my opinion... so in all it wasn't worth the hassle or wait. My suggestion would be some education to the employees so they can stand in different roles when someone is out. read more

We have been going to this location for years and the food has always been good, Today the service was below par. Got the chick's meal with a side salad .... Only got one sauce and no toast. Told the toast doesn't come when you order a side salad. Won't be going back there.... The guy had an attitude read more

My family and I have been coming here for years. It's our first choice when we're in the mood for some chicken strips. The foods hot and fresh, plus they always give us a decent amount of fries. My wife and I really appreciate the choices of sauce they have. The service is always great, from the register to when they bring us our food. The only issue I have, is from time to time, they fall behind on cleaning up the dining room and restrooms. read more

I've never eaten inside so I'm only reviewing take out (sorry). Their chicken and waffles were really good, but 4 small chicken tenders and 1 large waffle does not equal $8.44. The drive through menu said it came with a drink. (8.49). I was taking it home and didn't need one, and was asked if I wanted a drink. No I don't need one, and waited to get my order. You have to wait awhile, they make their food when it is ordered. When I received it and got home, 1 waffle, 4 chicken tenders. It does say that on the menu, so I shouldn't be surprised. They give you syrup and butter, plenty of both. It tasted great! I forgot to get a picture. But I do think they are a bit over priced. I will probably eat there again. They are mostly the only place around here with chicken and waffles. I was mostly unimpressed with the rest of the menu. read more

Drive through worker was rude and after waiting 10 minutes to get my Mac and Cheese chicken bowl it was cold. The drink also tasted funky.

The services was slow and unorganized. We only ordered chicken tenders and waited almost 40 minutes for our food. We came here for a quick dinner on our way home and couldn't even get that. read more

We arrived before they opened so the wait to get our food was acceptable knowing they had to get fryers hot, etc. However, I'd ordered to go and they packaged it to dine in. No big deal, but the worst offense was that my wings were bland. I'd ordered hot - the receipt confirms - they tasted like nothing had been put on and there was no side of hot sauce to dip in. On the plus side, the wings were crispy as I prefer - without having to order them as such. Also, my buddy liked his classic meal. This was a spur of the minute stop as we were traveling. There's one in our area so I'll write this visit off as a clerical error (the manager was very friendly, offering to help with the menu and recommending their app, but the counter clerk was a young kid) and may give the local shop a try sometime read more

The food is wonderful I had the chicken club sandwich it. Was the best I ever had love there fries definitely will be back read more

Slim Chickens - Chicken Wings Near Me - Independence, Missouri

Never wrote a review before but this restaurant made me. Literally too much salt. Their favorite seasoning is salt. It's like sodium is their main ingredient Honestly though, take away all that salt. It is actually pretty good. But I'm literally having horrible stomach pains because of the amount of salt that they use. read more

I'd never been here but heard about this Arkansas chain coming to KC. Finding myself in a pinch for lunch, I landed here and can safely say it's not the kind of place for me. The idea to me seems so similar to Chick-Fil-A (all politics aside), but the food just didn't do it for me. I ordered a combo so I got a tea to drink with it. The Peach Tea tasted like that syrup they use to make snow cones at the pool. Seriously the thickest, sweetest thing I'd ever drank. NOPE. The chicken tenders were not that good. They didn't pat the grease off them so they were dripping in it, and to top it off, each one was tough. Usually the tenders are..well you know, tender. I ate them, but I'm not proud of myself for it. I also ordered a side salad instead of fries for a small upcharge and the salad reminded me of a salad you order from a meat-centric place that basically has to have them on the menu. A generic dressing over a small bed of greens and not much else. read more

Slim Chickens - Chick plate - Chicken Wings Near Me - Independence, Missouri

Horrid service, incredibly slow. Sold me a dessert they didn't have & had to get a manager involved. A meal of chicken tenders in a drive thru should not take 40 minutes. YIKES read more

Food just seems to get worse and worse when I come. This time the chicken wasn't fresh. It looks like they cooked it twice. It is over done, super dry and very tough. We ordered fried mushrooms and it's a crap shoot to do so. Seems like everytime I get them it's like eating a sponge that is soaked in oil. I mean it's so bad that when you move the paper boat the oil has soaked thru and all over the table. Let me say I will not give another dime to this place again. You really need to make sure the food quality is the same when you open till you close. This Roger's location is bad. read more

Disgusting! This place used to be good about five years ago when I lived near by. Dry chicken sandwiches; fries covered in nasty powdered salt. Not to mention today (10/23/20) I ordered a Cayenne Ranch Chicken Sandwich meal with fried pickles as the side. I get home to find three fried pickles on my dry sandwich and fries in the box. Pull your head out of your arse or hire new employees! read more

Slim Chickens - Chicken Wings Near Me - Independence, Missouri

I was here at 2 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon. The ladies room was in complete disarray. No paper towels and the faucet was filthy. Same level of filth carried into the dining room. The booths all had crumbs and trash on the seats. And they had maybe 4 other customers in the dining room so there was plenty of room to clean up. The girl who took my order walked away when she saw me waiting at the counter. Didn't get service until a drive thru worker shouted "You have 5 waiting up front!" ... Very unprofessional. She didn't smile or greet me. Just mumbled "for here or to go". The number placard provided was also covered in grease and grime. While waiting for someone to take my order, a customer returned his meal saying it was cold. The dead fish behind the counter didn't apologize or acknowledge him at all. Just took his food and relayed his message to the manager who rolled her eyes and took his meal to the back. Just like the other customer, my food was cold. Chicken is rubbery and not appealing at all. I really hope I don't get sick from eating here. This restaurant is not clean at all. Take your money and go somewhere else. read more

Slim Chickens - 3 and 3. Where's the chicken tenders?? - Chicken Wings Near Me - Independence, Missouri

Slim chickens is not worth the time to go there. Whoever is in charge decided it would be a smart idea to take down the sauces so the customers can t see them anymore. Granted most of their sauces tasted like crap, but there was a few I liked but I am not taking the time to listen to someone read off the list to me. Put the sauce list up so we can see it or I will start going to canes. read more

The slowest so called fast food we have ever had! We were in the drive thru for 30 minutes before we got to the window! When we got the window, it was another 5 minutes before the staff even came to the window to greet us. No apology or explanation for the delay. Poor customer service. Food was ok but certainly not worth the wait. Never again. read more

We've come here from time to time prior Covid. Clean & hot food. Now not so much. Dirty. The fountain was nasty. Spouts or ice dispensers hadn't been cleaned in a while. I'm sure a fresh ice tea label wouldn't break the bank either. Come on! read more

Lady taking orders was rude af. Our bad we wanted to eat here. Everything else was great tho.

Tried Slim Chickens to see what all the excitement was about... ....can't say I was impressed. The chicken was a bit slimy...maybe a bit undercooked? Flavor was NOTHING exciting. Their special dipping sauce was mediocre at best. The toast it is served with is dripping in grease/butter. The fries are underwhelming. I'll give it two stars simply because the staff was friendly and the location was seemingly clean when we were there. That being said, no plans to ever return again. read more

Jumping Jesus FUCK - this place is slower than frozen molasses! 40+ minute wait for an order of wings and a wrap, this place completely takes the "fast" out of fast food Screwed up my order when the food finally did hit the table (ordered a buffalo chicken wrap, got a regular chicken wrap), ate it anyway because I was half starved by the time we got it. Nothing to write home about. When the toast is the best part of the meal, it pretty much says it all. Oh, probably ought to bring your own ketchup... EVERY SINGLE BOTTLE on the tables was empty. One star because the bathroom was clean which was surprising, because everything else about this place is SHIT. Won't be back. read more

We ate there yesterday. It wasn't super busy and it was around 3 in the afternoon. When we went to order, the employee seemed impatient that we didn't immediately know what we wanted. It was our first visit to this establishment. We ordered a three strip meal with fries and a side of coleslaw and the buffalo chicken wrap with fries. We took our number and sat down. There was food all around each table on the floor, pieces of lettuce, crumbs from the chicken, parts of fries. The tables were also dirty. We asked for someone to wipe our table down because it was sticky and were told that the tables always feel sticky even when they are clean. Went to fill our drinks and there was spilled soda all around the soda machine. Puddles of soda and sticky soda spots all over the counter. We got our food relatively quickly. The chicken was cooked well. It just didn't seem to be seasoned with any spices. It tasted like it had been fried in peanut oil. The coleslaw was horrible, bland with no real flavor and not very crispy. The wrap had lettuce, tomato, and ranch with the buffalo sauced chicken. However, you couldn't tell there was even ranch or tomato on the wrap. All you could taste was the buffalo sauce. The best part of the entire meal were the french fries. They were hot, crispy, well seasoned, and not greasy. Overall, I found this place to be a let down. For a restaurant that wasn't very busy, it was entirely too dirty. The flavor of the food was lacking, which is a shame because you receive nice portions. It was a try at a new place but I seriously doubt I would return. The entire experience was disappointing. read more

This place tastes good and the service is amazing.There is a lot to choose from with food and the patio and tvs.

This location really is so hit-and-miss. One week we went in on a Sunday and the staff was friendly and engaging, food was so good and fresh. We went later that week with high hopes that maybe things had changed. Nope. When we asked the manager if there was any unsweet tea, she said, "Sorry. Employees made two batches of sweet tea instead. Not sure why they did that." Fries were cold and sad looking. I wish it was consistent. read more

Wife and I waited in line for 15 minutes (third in line) when we got to front of line we were told 25-30 minute wait with no explanation as to why. Several loud discussions the cashier had with kitchen about not taking any more orders. We decided to leave as the cashier was rude and more concerned with chatting to kitchen staff than taking any orders. You lost at least 15-20 customers in the time we waited / left. Would give zero stars if app would let me. Worst customer service ever! FYI it was busy in the store but nowhere near capacity. Good luck with continued business.... if that's the type of service you have to offer you won't be around much longer.. read more

***Slim Chickens feels like it could be a good fast food joint; the restaurant has a clean and modern look, the menu definitely feels like a fast food spot but there are enough twists (like mason jars filled with parfait layered-like desserts) to make you think their food is going to be better than your run-of-the-mill fast food restaurant, and there are not too many locations; unfortunately, while there are a few bright spots (like the really good fried mushrooms), Slim Chickens has a similar quality to that of a Wingstop and might not feel significantly more satisfying than your more well known fast food chains*** Throughout the country you will find restaurants like Slim Chickens--a fast food spot with multiple locations but also with a local flair given that they are only available in select parts of the country and they have not expanded enough where you might have read or heard about their food. This Slim Chickens (right off the freeway and at the same exit as a Bass Pro Shop) definitely looks the part. The restaurant has a nice, clean and modern look. And the menu has a few interesting touches. Slim Chickens mostly offers chicken wings, chicken tenders, fried sides, and salads with the same traditional list of fast food salad ingredients you would get anywhere, but there are a few interesting touches too like fried okra or mason jars filled with parfait layered-like desserts (one mason jar combined cheesecake squares with layers of whipped cream and chocolate and peanut butter mousse). Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the food as much as I was wanting to. I opted for a Buffalo chicken wrap and the first thing I noticed was that it was not wrapped that well. It also did not burst with flavor, intensity or heat. The lettuce and tomato were both fresh though the kitchen was skimpy on the portions. The chicken tenders were not bad, but they were not that juicy and the exterior was more like a southern fried crust than a crispy, crunchy crust that many guests might be expecting. Overall, I feel Wingstop delivers noticeably more satisfying and moist chicken strips with more memorable sauces. The sides were nicely done though. The fried pickles might have had too much tanginess and an overwhelming sour note, but they were well prepared. The French fries were hot and crisp. The fried mushrooms were a real standout. They were standard white button mushrooms and, of course, these mushrooms hold quite a bit of water so they release a fair amount of burning liquid when you bite into them, but the batter was really good. Nice and light. Fried mushrooms are popular in the middle of the country and Slim Chicken's fried mushrooms were definitely a respectable version. For dessert, I had their fried apple pie. I was hoping though not expecting their fried apple pie might deliver the very guilty pleasure of the long gone fried apple pie at McDonald's where burning hot made-for-the-masses apple pie filling would be encased in an incredibly crispy and freshly fried exterior, but that was not the case. The outside crust was really just a standard pie crust in an empanada shape. It was a decent dessert and there was nothing wrong with it, but I would not order it again. Service was fine. Prices were okay. They have a lot of sides and desserts so your bill can really start to add up here if you are not careful. Slim Chickens is an okay fast food joint. I would not recommend seeking this one out, but if you are passing by and need something quick, this is a decent option and slightly better than big name fast food restaurants across the country. This Slim Chickens has its own free parking lot and it is very easy finding an open space. read more

I've tried this place 3 times now. I wanted to give it a chance but each time was just bad. The chicken strips are always dry and stringy. It's overly expensive and as far as chicken quality, I'd choose chic fil a over this place every time. The best part of the meal is the French fries. I probably won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Slim Chickens - Bread is the best part! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Independence, Missouri

waited over an hour for our food.. food is always great but it often takes so long. our numbers got skipped over multiple times and no one seemed to really care that we had waited so long. Love this place, but could use some extra tlc.... read more

There are several poor reviews on here, and I'm not sure if it's from their stumbles upon opening last year, or something else, but a year later...it's much better I assure you. Every time we've been here, the meals have been good! Chicken and waffles...check! Been there, done that. Chicken with fries...check! Big salad with chicken...yep! Although let's be honest, I wouldn't get the salad again. It's not bad, it's just lettuce from a bag with chicken on top. Not a well thought out meal. Now, if they made a fresh salad with toppings and chicken, I'd reconsider. The fried okra was AWESOME! Yummy. Love any place that serves up HOT, CRISPY, SEASONED fried okra. Slim's delivers on that for sure! The building is one of the best parts for me. It's in a big open space, like an industrial barn. Very open and casual. When in Independence, give them a try. I think they've survived their growing pains and would treat you right! read more

I was in this restaurant on Sunday April 11 and was So disappointed,. While their were about 8 or 9 staff working my order still took 45mins to fill. Worst Service I've ever seen very unorganized . Other customers were also complaining of long wait time and incorrect orders. My order. Was also incomplete. NEVER go there on a Sunday read more

They need to remove curbside pick up. They say they have curbside pickup, they ask for a vehicle description on line, and they have spaces labeled curbside pickup. It's BS. Did everything they asked, waited outside, got frustrated, went inside. The cold food had been there all along. They just looked at me and said "we don't do curbside pickup". So, if you are looking for a business that is honest, this isn't it. read more

Let me start off by saying this are i lived down deep south for 4 years and I know what fried chicken is and what it isnt and brother if first impressions are everything then they still need some work. Frankly I was not impressed and went in with a total open mind I knew nothing of this restaurant before I stopped in I would have been more impressed by this place if the food would have lived up to the wait, to be fair they let you know that because they make everything fresh there will be a wait and so the food is fresh and screwing hot as my chicken tenders were, so hot that in fact it burned the roof of my mouth The bbq sauce here...well someone needs to let them know this is kc because I didn't care for it and the ranch was watery I really wanted to like this place and to be fair I will give it a second chance but I won't have the chicken strips again read more

Slim Chickens - Slim chickens at bass pro drive - Chicken Wings Near Me - Independence, Missouri

This franchise is new to me, and they put together a decent stab at southern food. Firstly at this location the staff was over the top friendly, to the point you have to ask yourself if they are too good at their job or are they hitting on me. I'm not into dudes, but I can let the man dream. I had their Cayenne Ranch Chicken Sandwich, of which I wasn't terribly impressed. The buns were the same as McDonalds, the chicken was pretty decent, and the pickles and lettuce were standard fast food quality. The sauce was just discolored Ranch though, it didn't taste spicy to me at all. Even had extra to dip my fried mushrooms in, rather meh. The mushrooms themselves were quite good and not heavily coated. Why is there no mashed potatoes and gravy? What kind of South are we trying to represent here? Atmosphere wise they have some wood paneling and guitars on everything, lots of blues playing. Writing on the wall claims they have honest food, but I don't know how to assess the truthiness of inanimate objects. read more

I'm currently at the Slim Chickens store Hierriman, UT. I have been coming to the Herriman store about once a week since March 2021. To say I like Slim C's is an understatement. Besides the food (including okra) I enjoy interacting with the employees. I'm on a first name basis with some of them. I have a handful that I consider my friends. If you have never been to Slim Chickens, try it. Cheers read more

Slim chicken restaurant, readily seen from highway 470, near 40 highway, is an area that just seems to keep adding new places all the time. This place is kinda tucked in, but it's worth finding, and has some really good things going for it. The place is fashioned like a big open barn, crossed with the stainless steel look so popular at chipotle, throw in some patio seating and the place is very inviting. Everything about slim chicken is simple, even I can understand it. Straightforward menu, limited options, meals include drinks, simple seating, they bring the food out, simple service, everything just seems simple, and easy. I like it, wife likes, the kids like it...I guess the saying, "winner, winner, chicken dinner", applies here...on to the food... We did three "slim dinners", that's 5 tenders, a side, Texas toast, and a drink, and the "chicken and waffle"...I've never figured out the connection between the two, but my wife ate the whole thing, then got a jar desert to go...more on that later. 2 fries and 1 fried pickles, rounded out our order, add several flavored sauces, and sweet tea, oh yeah, and damn, slim chicken, was damn good...still hot, the slightly spiced, lightly battered tenders were spot on, add thin cut fries and pickles, throw a couple pieces of buttered Texas toast on top, and we were treated to a southern chicken meal... The capper was the desert in a jar. Several flavors were displayed in the fridge, just inviting you to take them home. The souvenir mason jar, etched with slim chicken logo, was filled with either fudge, brownie, Heath, or an apple combination, layered with whipped cream and nuts and crust, all chilled and waiting to be attacked in house, or at home. The wife had the brownie, and gave it two thumbs up, for the taste, and the jar. Overall, slim chicken puts out a tasty meal, in a simple package. Give it a try...this yelper is a fan... read more
