First time customer. Ordered via their app and did an in-store pickup. The app was very usable and I easily made my selections and breezed through the checkout. Order was ready when I arrived except for a shake that they wanted to make when I got there. Pretty excited when they gave me the shake with a real shake straw. I should have checked the order as the sauces were omitted but they were on the receipt. The rest of the order was accurate. The food was average. First impression is that there are better choices in our area. read more

This place is great. It is also always busy. Food was hot and fresh. Service was friendly. I had the salad with grilled chicken, and my husband had the chicken strips basket with fries. We also had the Oreo cheesecake and brownie layer deserts. Ambiance is typical fast food place. They also have some shaded outdoor seating. read more

It's so nice to see new businesses opening in lake wales. We decided to eat inside but the drive through was busy. There is a nice outside covered patio. The staff were really nice. The place was clean. There were busy inside as well and it was nice to see that staff stayed on top of the table to keep the place clean. The food. What can I say it was ok. Lots of fired chicken and chicken wings. The sauces were delicious and the fries were tasty. The drinks especially the raspberries lemon was really good. So all in all it's was ok. read more

I'm not one to leave bad reviews. I hate saying bad things about businesses, especially new/small ones... But do NOT come here.. Here are all the issues I had with Slim Chickens. 1. The food is extremely mediocre. It was dry, not seasoned, and overcooked. You might as well go to zaxbys (for a better price and food) 2. The chicken tenders are EXTREMELY tiny... no joke 3. The customer service was HORRIBLE, to say the least. I had a pick up order, and I was standing in line for 5 minutes, and all of the workers just stared at me. Or they were laughing amongst themselves. Mind you... They already helped 2 customers in front of me... 4. There was a strand of hair in my food 5. The location on the website and the app is wrong. It brings you to the middle of NOWHERE 5 minutes down the road... Side note: It's actually really nice looking on the outside and inside. read more

My husband and I tried this relatively new location for lunch yesterday. We were greeting with smiling faces who offered recommendations. We both ordered chicken tenders and fries and it came with Texas Toast. The food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. The inside was nice and clean. They have a drive thru. We tried the honey BBQ sauce and the honey mustard for dipping but they have like a dozen or more choices to pick from. We recommend. read more

We picked Slim Chickens because we like to try new places, especially new chicken places, so we came here and unfortunately won't be back. Why I didn't see it coming when it took exactly 3 minutes for my food to come out from the time that I ordered it, that the wings would not only be undercooked, but old as well. Guess we must've been too close to closing time? God I hope that's why and not the norm. I won't be returning and I can't recommend it to anyone but if you do decide to go, I would recommend going earlier than an hour and a half before closing then maybe you'll have a better experience than we did. read more

Customer service is on it, food comes out hot and they have Coke products which is a huge plus. Haven't had the pleasure of going inside yet but seems really nice on the outside. *Quick update, Definitely order from the right line, definitely hit or miss with service as children run the asylum. Got in line as before waited forever, finally ordered our food and it's definitely not worth the price. Overcooked and seems to continue to go downhill like Freddy's. Is it just the area or me?

Ordered online. They forgot to pack some mac and cheese, not a huge deal but we didn't notice until we left. The manager insisted that they would not refund the Mac and cheese unless we came back. We were already 30 mins away so this wasn't an option for us. They need to pay more attention packing orders, and have a better process to manage issues with orders, especially because their location is quite out of the way. Food was good, but not overwhelming. It's chicken. read more

We love the…read morelocation--there's plenty of parking, it's in the same plaza as Publix, and it's also located across the street from Legoland. We were seated immediately upon arrival, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Both times we've visited, it hasn't been overly busy, which made for a relaxing dining experience. Personally I find that shocking as I would think it would be a tourist trap but it's mostly locals. We started with Homerun Margaritas, and they were delicious! They tasted a little on the light side at first, but our server happily added an extra shot, which was a nice bonus! For food, we ordered the mozzarella sticks, cheeseburger sliders, the Merica Burger, and chicken wings. Everything was cooked fresh, came out hot, and tasted fantastic. We really enjoyed every bite. Overall, another great experience with friendly service, delicious food, and a comfortable atmosphere. We look forward to coming back again!

I don't like leaving bad reviews but this is probably the worst service I've had in my life…read more Mid day. One lady at the end of the bar on her laptop. So we sit at the bar for a few cocktails. Female bartender never once looked at us or stopped talking to the lady on the computer. It's absolutely dead. We use the bathroom and wait forever. STILL NOTHING. Finally she comes over and we ordered drinks. I wanted dessert but she doesn't even ask if we're eating. So a LENGTHY WHILE LATER I finally get dessert. A sticky dessert. And we never received napkins. Never saw the bartender again to even get napkins, I waited for the bartender to look over but she never stopped talking to the one solo woman. At all. When she finally came over I had already finished and cleaned my hands myself. Forget about getting a second drink. As someone who works in hospitality, I'm more patient than the typical customer. This was the absolute worst service ever. Never again.

Every time we have passed this place in the past, there's always been a full lot of cars. Last time, I bookmarked it for a future visit. Today was the day. It was seat yourself which we did. Our friendly server brought menus and later drinks while we decided what to order. They had a couple specials on the board -- fried shrimp and catfish. Along with two other veggies of the day and a couple pies available. My husband decided to order liver and onion with his choice of two sides of mashed potatoes and gravy and apple sauce. His mother used to make this. I don't cook liver, so when he sees it on a menu he gets it. He said it was excellent. One of the reviews I'd read mentioned liking a patty melt. As I had not had one of those in years, it sounded appealing. I got mine without onions. The cheeseburger was perfectly cooked with two different cheeses between fried rye bread. A tad greasy, but delicious. I chose mashed potatoes instead of fries. The brown gravy was hot and went well with the potatoes. For dessert, we shared a slice of coconut cream pie. A little bit artificial, but just enough sweetness to satisfy. Between home style food, decent prices, and very nice staff, we decided we'd definitely be coming here again in the future.

Very disappointed with the poor service of the drivetru employee and I asked her for my sauce for my wings and she told me that she would charge me $.035 and I told her that that came with each order and she gave me a bad attitude and made an out of place comment But with all that I continued on my way to my house to eat in peace when I arrived at my house 10 minutes from where the restaurant was and she had the wrong food from another customer but I also went to complain directly to the Manager TJ and he treated me coldly and I explained everything that happened and he told me that she had done it several times with another client and yet she continues working in the same place and giving bad service to the public but the manager TJ gave me the order again according to how I asked for it and according to how it appeared on my receipt but not even a detail of thanks and apology but that doesn't matter but there you have to treat the customer well and make them 100% satisfied and what you pay is for the quality and the Good service at this restaurant Slim Chickens Lake Wales store # 5505 The service is lacking, what a shame it started very well and ended badly.

I knew i have always enjoyed their boneless wings but I want to give the traditional a shot as well. Safe to say I still prefer the boneless from here.

So you can imagine how happy I was when they decided to open a love bird in Winter Haven just a few miles from my permanent office. I think this location is even better than the Lakeland location because it is a little bigger than the parking lot is much better. They still have that absolutely fabulous crispy fried chicken that is so delicious. I love that you can cater it to your personal spice level. I like mine medium, but my mom prefers hers with no spice. Their fried chicken stays crispy even when it gets cold. Sometimes I'll go and grab myself some lunch while I'm at work and then get some fried chicken to take home to my husband for dinner and it's still crispy and juicy and fabulous. I also love that they have a meal that was invented for me. My favorite thing to order is called, The my girl ain't hungry. It consists of one giant chicken, tender in your choice of fried or grilled with a side and a drink for eight dollars. It is the perfect portion for me. Now, when people come to visit me in Winter Haven, lovebird is always one of the places I recommend we grab lunch.

We asked to speak with the manager personally, She never came out... Inside she sends the poor girl out again with the fried rice and to speak with us. Terrible management and the food was maybe 1/5. If you're in downtown Lakeland avoid this place. I'll give one star because the young girl who was forced to handle the situation was very sweet.* two of us ordered the steak bowl and it was dry, thin pieces over overcooked cheap beef. Terrible.

We went on the site ahead of time and our wait list wait was less than what they estimated. I felt like that was a win. Also, our server was both attentive and pleasant and they were super slammed this Father's Day morning. And I need to back track just a little, because that first cup was really good and then they brought out a new pot of the First Watch dishwasher coffee that I have grown accustomed to. So there is that. We ordered two has meals. I got the summer special hash which had a Mexican inspired theme. The flavors were great, especially the queso. The meal was a tad above room temperature which had me thinking it had been sitting. Especially because the over easy eggs were luke warm. The other hash was about the same. Overall the food was not so good, especially for the price. But it was edible and I finished mine and it filled me so mission accomplished. Honestly though no where near amazing and other than it's uniqueness, a visit to Denny's or IHOP would have done just as good and for about a little over half the price. Still though our server was Dynamite and if it weren't for her I would be giving two stars instead of three. If the coffee didn't revert back to its weak state, it might have almost pushed it over 3 starts. Alas, here is where we are.

Today we ordered…read moreFried Green Tomatoes ($9), Chef Salad($13.70), Texas Club Sandwich with gone fries($12.50), and Country Fried Chicken with sides of mashed potatoes and corn ($14.20). Nothing was overly salty and everything we ordered we would all order again. The Chef Salad was large and looked fancy with fresh vegetables and lettuce and meat and cheese roll ups. The Texas Club was a tasty chicken salad sandwich on crisp Texas Toast with a nice light taste. The Country Fried Chicken was moist, easy to cut with a fork and seasoned just right. We don't often find a fried chicken breast as nice as this one. The fried green tomatoes were plentiful and prepared just right and perfectly crisp. Our server today was Annabel and she was just as friendly and attentive as we wanted/needed. When we sat down, I was hoping this might become my new favorite restaurant and they lived up to that hope. We live close to an hour away but I'm thinking we may drive back for breakfast tomorrow. This is most definitely a highly recommended place to visit.
