I have been to this location several times as it is down the street from my house. I love that menu options include fried and grilled chicken tenders. Their fries are seasoned and sometimes can be a little too salty. I recommend the buffalo chicken wrap with the grilled tenders. They have a large selection of drinks as well. My only complaint is sometimes the cashiers don't seem too enthused about working there read more

I had not been to a slim Chickens in a while and decided to give it a try today. After placing my order for one sandwich fry and A drink my total was 16.45. For this price I could have gotten a way better Meal. Whatever all good. I ask for Ketchup because my sandwich came with Frys I get one packet from the guy ask more more. He throws a fit. The manager comes up and Tells Me if I was sauce they charge extra for that. I don't think she knew I was even talking about ketchup but she was really rude. I am not sure What the heck I was paying for but clearly wasn't customer service. Learn to treat people if you want customers. read more

**0 STARS** I stopped at Slim Chickens today after fasting for 18 hours for blood work, so I was really looking forward to finally getting a good meal. There was no one in front of me in the drive-through, yet I still had to wait quite a while for my food. That actually made me think it was being made fresh. Unfortunately, when I got my order, the food wasn't even warm and the fries tasted old. It was extremely disappointing. There's nothing worse than spending your hard-earned money on food that tastes like it's been sitting around. After waiting that long, I expected much better quality. I had to get back to work so I couldn't return to the restaurant, but if I had the time I absolutely would have. Very disappointing experience. I do not recommend. read more

Do not bring your younger ones!!! They seemed to delete my other review but my younger family member was getting mean-mugged the entire time we ordered, just for them to take incredibly long for a small kids side. Unbelievable that they try to sweep this under the rug. read more

I recently ordered Doordash from Slim Chickens and was a bit disappointed. I've only tried Slim Chickens once before and was pleased but this time, the food was just not great. I got the chicks meal and didn't realize how small the tenders were! They were only the size of a small fry and they were very dry. I would go for a chicken sandwich next time. I also ordered a drink that came with the meal but sadly did not get one. I contacted our driver and she said that they never gave her one in the first place. Not sure who's at fault but overall, the meal was very bland. I did enjoy the slim chickens sauce though! It's like a twist of the Raising Canes sauce which I enjoy! I would try this place again in person but will keep expectations low. read more

Slim Chickens - Chick's Meal - Chicken Wings Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

June 4 around 10:40 PM - I understand it was close to closing time, but I had just finished work and needed to grab something for myself and my kids. I ordered chicken, hoping for a decent meal. What we got was absolutely inedible -- the chicken was so overloaded with salt it was impossible to eat. It wasn't just disappointing, it was unacceptable. I spent money on food that ended up in the trash. While the service was passable, the food quality was outright horrible. This kind of careless preparation is a serious letdown and needs to be addressed. read more

we ordered our dinner this evening through door dash, & the young girl that delivered our food, took a very long way to get to us. our food was cold upon arrival. I don't highly recommend Sierra to be the deliver person ever again, if she doesn't know how to drive around in this city, she needs to find a different job. read more

glad the food is good here. never go inside because they will not prioritize you over drive thru. waited 15 minutes with no one in line at the drive thru for 5-10 minute. ridiculous we didn't even eat in it was take out for 1 MEAL. just stick to drive thru with this place they don't want you in the store. read more

The chicken was grisly! Bland, tender when not biting into the gristle! Sauces were store bought like, if not! I probably won't be back! Front counter guy nice enough! read more

Slims is a favorite go to for our family. We always get great service and the food is always fresh. The kids love subbing their fries for the Mac and cheese which is delicious. We appreciate the meal deal on Sundays so our kids meals are discounted. That helps this family of 5 out! We also love to sit in the booth under the guitar. However on nice days we enjoy the patio. read more

I thought the experience we had was good but there are a few things that would make it great. 1. Environment: The place was clean, spacious and pleasant! They had extra syrup and ketchup in bottles available. To take it up a notch, they could get a dispenser that kept the syrup warm. Drink selection was good. Pepsi products. 2. Service. They were friendly! Greeted us when we came in and as we were leaving. We ordered through the app and dined in. The server gave us the wrong cup size. By the way, the large drink is in a sturdy plastic cup. I wish they eould move to paper...I digress, the server pleasantly fixed his mistake. 3. The food. I thought it was good. Other people have commented negatively on the fries but I thought they were tasty. The strips were good tasting, however, a bit on the small side. Seriously, they were long but they were all very slim which made me feel like they were not the best value. Other people have commented that their food was not the hottest. Ours was just warm enough but I would have liked it hotter. If we would have taken it home and warmed everything up in the air fryer, this review would have been a five. The waffle was large and fluffy. And while not hot to the touch, was crisp on the outside and still warm on the inside. Another way to elevate this restaurant would be to serve all the sauces that they serve on the side warm. I really liked the menu...right now they are featuring a strawberry/chicken salad I would like to try as well as some wraps. The jar desserts are pricey but they look good, I think I'll try those on my next visit. And the fried pickles... And the mac & cheese... So to summarize, I really like this restaurant and I want to love it. I hope management is reading the reviews and seeing the themes. I will give it another try and I will definitely get it for takeout and heat it up at home. read more

price is too high for the quality and quantity of food you receive. The people there are always very friendly and helpful though. However 3 strips for 10$ + tax is insane when the strips are small and grisly. I used to frequent this place in years past, but the quality and cost is simply no longer what it was. read more

0/0 for Service: today I was denied entry (dine-in) with my service dog (a standard poodle) at lunchtime. The drive-thru line was really long, and I simply wanted to carry out some fried okra & ranch dressing so that I could eat something & take some medicine. 45 minutes later, and I'm still stressed out by the confrontational tone & in-your-face behavior that the manager had with me at the counter. It was rude and unnecessary. :,( [She was griping about my dog & I to kitchen staff loud enough for me to hear at the check-out counter while we waited for the food. That was also rude & unprofessional.] The manager was adamant that my service dog is *required* to wear a vest to come into the restaurant. AND that we weren't allowed to stay in the dining room to eat ... because she didn't want dog hair everywhere. Her behavior was aggressive, not assertive - I barely got a word in edgewise. This was supposed to be a "quick in & out" trip for food. 1. I offered to contact the city, in order to de-escalate the situation. 2. I offered to show the ADA.gov website (specifically the White Page for service animal access). 3. My service dog was working "naked" (no vest nor bandana), and he currently has VERY short hair because of the sudden high temps. 4. I tried several times to explain that service dogs aren't required to wear a vest [nor registration] based on ADA and accessibility laws. Normally I can get in the mindset that I'll have to do some service dog/ADA education & teaching convo out in public ... especially with "gatekeepers." But this was an out of the ordinary interaction for us. :,( This was supposed to be a "quick in & out" trip for food ... and I'm disappointed that I don't feel accepted going to this restaurant anymore. read more

I have been here several times now... Great chicken. And I love the deserts in a jar. The sauces... wow, so many to choose from! I'll be back to get something delicious next time I think of chicken strips. To be fair... I honestly do not remember any of the sides. The only things I remember are the chicken, sauces, iced tea, and desert in a jar... the chocolate one. So in reading through other reviews I may or may not branch out when I am here. I also have never eaten here. I have always gotten the food to go. Thanx for reading and keep on eating! Chicken strips. read more

I love the spicy bbq wings & the toast ! However sometimes they don't put enough sauce on the wings. The service is always good! I've never been inside but it looks good. read more

I live for their Mango habanero wings. The wings are good, the fries are good. Their service is nice. They good my food in a reasonable time. read more

I really have no complaints about this location and have been going here since they opened. I always enjoy getting the food here and have never had a bad meal. The chicken, fries, waffles, and wings have always been cooked pretty well with nothing weird about any of it. the chicken and waffles are honestly pretty dang good considering it is a chain fast food place. The staff is always pretty helpful and I don't I've ever had a bad interaction with anyone there. Just visited recently for a in-store pickup for an app order and it was 100% correct, and done earlier than "promised". Overall, definitely recommend this location for their great fast food! read more

I got the Al a carte tenders. 3 for exactly $6 after tax which included dipping sauce. Fair price I got their new hot honey sauce. It was decent. I will try a different flavor next time. The blue cheese was fantastic. The tenders were luke warm. I was the only one there before closing time and they couldn't serve hot food. The cashier was very nice. She offered me a water. read more

Fried pickles are way too SALTY, I think it was the actual pickle vs batter that seemed super high in sodium, which is surprising based on how thin they were--was difficult to get through them. I hate wasting money, but I would have thrown them away, if my lab wasn't willing to help (disappointing, since I'm typically a fan of fried pickles; these chips were also thinner than my preference). Chicken was ok, I liked the honey BBQ sauce. Glad we had a BOGO meal coupon, would not pay full price. Also, I wish the drink was extra/optional with the meal, since I like to stick to water. read more

Tasty stuff. A little on the pricey side for fast food, though. The menu is a bit small, but that's okay. Sometimes it's hard to decide when there are a zillion things to choose from. Tenders, wings, a sandwich and salads--that's it. We tried the sandwich, wings and tenders and a bunch of different sauces for dipping--we liked the Slim Sauce the best. Nice addition to the selection of fast food in Lenexa. We're not going to be regulars, but we'll be back from time to time. read more

Slim Chickens - Chicken Wings Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

I just so happen to be a lover of chicken wings/drumettes so I'm often on the look-out for the best cluck in town. I must admit I've passed by Slim Chickens for quite a while before finally deciding to stop in to give them a try. I now know why. I chose honey bbq & garlic Parmesan sauce/seasoning for the wings. UMPH, they'll do in a pinch. I mean a Real Pinch. The chicken was over cooked thus dried out for me. There was way too much sauce slathered on the honey bbq ones which was a turn-off for sure. They probably tried to overcompensate the dryness with all the sauce, but baby you can't fool a 'true foodie', no Sir. The garlic Parmesan wasn't any better...just a wash for me all the way around. Needless to say, when I'm in the mood for good wings/drumettes the pick'ins /CHICKENS are SLIM that I'll stop by this restaurant, just sayin'. read more

Stopped in shortly after this location opened on a Saturday evening around 7:30 and got a 4 tender plate with fries...and ALL of the sauces. No seriously, I ordered and received every sauce they had on the menu (including the wing sauces). They don't call me the sauce boss for no reason. As for the food, there are pros and cons. The pros are that the chicken was breaded and cooked well/had good flavor on its own. I love any restaurant that has multiple drink dispensers (the good Coca-Cola infinite drink stations). And many of the sauces were quite good. My favorites were the cayenne ranch, gravy, bbq, honey bbq, sweet red chili, and mango habanero. The cons were that the fries are simply terrible...zero flavor, flat cut, and just bottom of the barrel generic. The "Texas toast" was Sara Lee sized and not much better than toast I can make at home. Was not a fan of the slim sauce, honey mustard, sriracha garlic, or inferno. The others were just okay. A *MASSIVE* plus was that the staff was engaging, helpful, and were studious in cleaning up. They also offered to get drink refills and came around to ask if patrons needed anything. For a fast food restaurant, this type of service is a tip of the cap to a bygone era where the bottom line wasn't just the bottom line, but providing a great customer experience. I simply can't overstate how blown away I was by this. The food is really 3 stars, but the customer service is a perfect 5 stars and then some. On the next trip...definitely going to have to try the other sides since the fries were awful. I suspect that the mac n' cheese or fried pickles have to be better. Also, the jar desserts looked great, but didn't save any room for them. Thinking 3 tender plate with mac n' cheese and a jar dessert next time. read more

Slim Chickens - Chicken Wings Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

They have good food but, I got the 6 piece meal Honey Hot, it tasted more like honey barbecue and was no where near "hot" or spicy ! The fries were okay, could've been more crispy, but I loveeee the ranch and it made the fries taste much better!! I got a sprite to go with and it was just carbonate..... no flavor!!! Glad I went to quick trip before I went and got a sprite ! Overall, the service was amazing! The team members were nice and and I very much appreciate that. I still ate my food, I was so hungry I forgot to capture a picture lol but I definitely want to go back and try slims again! read more

What can I say about slim chickens? Cute restaurant. Ok food. Subpar service. The chicken is pretty bland even though it looks like they have a lot a seasonings in there mix. The fries always taste like they were made an hour ago and were kept in the warmer. The fries might also be crispy but the inside isn't light and fluffy (like another chicken place I frequent). Forget the toast and ask for more fries. The toast is must definitely be made ahead of time because it's never crisp. It looks toasted but again seems to be kept in a warmer because it's always soft. You are given two sauces but any more you have to pay for. That makes it hard because they have about 2 dozen different types. I do suggest mixing any of the bbqs with the honey mustard. That's a great mix. Their secret sauce can be completely skipped. It's so runny. With all the different chicken places around I would recommend only visiting Slim Chickens if it's free. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Okay, so maybe this review is more like 3.5 stars. It's fast food. It's all a bit mediocre. However, Slim Chickens is my preferred place when it comes to picking one of the fast casual chicken strip places that seem to be everywhere right now. The chicken strips are pretty good, the fries are usually crispy, and the desserts in the mason jars might be one of my addictions. I may or may not have my own personal collection of Slim Chickens mason jars at home. They do come in handy, but that only helps me justify getting dessert each time we go there. Today I got their new buffalo chicken sandwich. Pretty decent! Not super spicy. The bun was a little squished, but this is fast food. Gotta keep those expectations lower when there's a drive-thru attached to the restaurant. We've never had an issue with long waits at any of the Slim Chickens locations we've been too. Even if we go during a busy time the staff always seems to keep up. If a location opened up closer to us we'd probably be there way too much. Probably a good thing this one is a bit of a drive for us. :) read more

Slim Chickens - 5 & 5 Meal, - Chicken Wings Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

We went through the drive through. The food was fresh and stayed warm until we got home. I agree the Texas toast isn't real Texas toast, but it wad garlicky which I like and the fries were seasoned well. I was happy to open the boxes and discover the order appeared correct. Which has been a problem for most to go order during the Covid problem. I was disappointed in the chicken. We orders the dry rub wings, but there was not rub. Just plain fried skin on chicken. So the fries and garlic bread had more flavor than the chicken. Thankfully the gravy and cayenne ranch helped a lot. read more

Was craving ckn sandwich so I ordered the club sandwich. For $8.00 the piece of chicken was way smaller than the bread, cheese & tomato. Not worth $8. Chik filet serves a ckn breast size of bun. Totally disappointing read more

The grilled tenders were juicy, delicious, and generously-sized. I liked the 17 sauce options (including BBQ, ranch, mango habanero, and sriracha garlic). I also noticed peach tea, raspberry tea, and lemonade drinks. The price of my "Classic Plate" was reasonable (four grilled or fried tenders, choice of side, toast, choice of two sauces and a drink for $7.29), and the opening day service was fast (two minutes) and friendly, while the dining area was clean and new, with TVs and delta blues background music. The menu included salads, wraps, sandwiches, wings, waffles, and kid's meals. Very nice! read more

The hipster haven. A veritable sea of skinny jeans, there were. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but those hipsters love them some chicken! Service was slow, but they were kind and apologized for the wait. After a 15 minute wait, my food was delivered to my table. The Texas Toast was more like Rhode Island Toast...but that's not what I came for. The fries were good and the chicken was great. Overall, a decent experience. read more

Slim Chickens - Rhode Island Toast - Chicken Wings Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

Discovered that "slim chicken" means their chicken pieces are small. Went through the drive through and ordered the chicken and waffles. It wasn't unbelievably amazing, but it was good. Waffles are the thick fluffy kind, but the chicken came up fairly "slim". For $8 with no side, I figured there would be more out of the meal. Only BBQ joints can pull that off. Slim Chicken manager - invest in better utensils! I received a cheap plastic fork that broke immediately and NO KNIFE, had to eat this meal cave-man style. read more

I would not return here. Wifi didn't work. Fries weren't crisp. Chicken wasn't crisp. Lemonade was watery. Mason jar dessert was bland and too sweet. Sauces were awesome though. But I wouldn't return here. read more

Got a 5&5 at the drive thru with ranch chips, pop, slim sauce, honey mustard. Ordered the 5 wings as garlic parmesan. Staff was friendly and patient as this was my first visit. Went straight home to eat. The strips and chips were good (flavor and temperature). Strips were pretty small. Wings were okay in size, but still small. They were cold to the touch. The meat and outside were cold. We were there before noon, so I'd think they'd be fresh. Not sure if they were leftover or what but the temperature was very off-putting and disappointing. For the price spent for 5 wings & 5 small strips, I won't probably go back, except maybe for the chips or to try a sandwich. read more

Great wings! Great sandwiches! Great dessert jars! Great sweet tea and real lemonade! Great waffle and chicken! But pull out your lucky quarter and flip it for the chance you get coherent service. Don't get me wrong the staff here is nice and friendly and they really I think are trying to do their best -- but the management must be on vacation the last year as the same basic problems keep happening and the staff has zero initiative to fix or suggest how to make up for it. If you go complain and ask for a manager they will comp the meal or give you a free dessert, but you will have to put in the effort to get a manager and be frank on what was messed up or done less than expected. I'm not sure if it's just this location or the region, but I've had problems at the location on 135th street too. The staff just does not seem to be proactive and observant and when you inform them of a problem it seems to be the least possible effort solution that is what follows. I like most of the food better than Chick-Fil-A although sometimes I'm just in the mood for CFA style cooking. The service and the staff at CFA is always observant and proactive to fix or bring samples or offer something to show they have gratitude you choose to dine at CFA. Maybe that's why I've been repeatedly annoyed at Slim Chickens as they just don't have staff trained or empowered to deliver a 5 Star service. If you have a big order or time go inside to order and as soon as you get your meal speak up to voice any requests or missing items. The drive thru often has problems and is very slow even with a few cars in line. But, the food is good. Although many of the sides I've not liked. The entrees are always good though. Only once or twice did I get the wrong item. read more

First, I like the food here. The wings are good and the tenders are as well. I like the option to get grilled food in addition to fried. That said, the last few times I've gone through the drive-through it has been a horrible experience. For the third time in a row I have basically had to re-order my food at the window because the staff, which appears to be made up of mostly high school kids, was extremely disorganized. I had to go back inside twice to have my order corrected because I was given someone else's food and drink. The staff seemed more preoccupied with conversing with one another than they did doing their jobs. There is nothing wrong with hiring younger staff, but they typically require management to keep them on task. I won't be back. read more

Slim chicken has absolutely delicious fried chicken tenders!! It is my go-to lunch spot and I have some how started eating there more than once a week. The reason I keep going back is that the friend tenders are amazing. They're juicy in the inside and their light breading crispy on the outside. What separates them from other fast food or counter service restaurants is their salad. Slim Chicken has a mixed green salad that is always fresh. Like I've said, I've probably had SC more than 20 times and the salad has NEVER let me down. My favorite sauce for the tenders is the spicy BBQ sauce. I eat low-carb and it is by far the best lunch choice in the area. It is 15 carbs per 5 tenders plus another few carbs from the little sauce I use for dipping. read more

This was my first stop into slim chickens since it's opening (the menu was a lot lighter back then). This location earned an extra star due to the expedience of the drive thru and the professionalism of the employees. I was very impressed with the size, and breading consistency of the tenders, the wings are average but can satisfy a craving. The inferno sauce is indeed hot, which was a plus for me. I hate ordering something with a "hot" name only to learn it's a little spicy. The only reason this restaurant did not earn a 5th star is it is very expensive for fast food. Kudos to the staff working that made the drive thru experience pleasant. read more

This is my go-to fast-casual chicken place. I love their wings with buffalo sauce and they have several sauce options. I have been here many times since their opening and I will continue to come back. The service is usually quick and friendly and I've never had a problem with a wrong order. My only complaint would be that the wrap has too much lettuce and not enough chicken for the price (two chicken strips) and there is a serious inconsistency with the amount of sauce they use. My wings are either drenched or lightly covered and never in between-I like a medium amount of sauce every time. Either way I would recommend this place if you're looking for chicken on-the-go. read more

Today I lost my slim chickens virginity. I tried it for the very first time after contemplating it for way too long. Now I wish I had gone there when they first opened. I've been missing out. I ordered the chicken strip dinner, I think they call it Slim chickens plate. It comes with five chicken strips french fries, toast, and a drink. The chicken was crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. I can tell you I liked it much better than their local competitor. The french fries had good flavor, but I could tell they were not hot out of the fryer. I'm not sure if the toast makes sense with the plate but I did eat it. Nothing special. Filler food. I will be coming back. I will be trying some other menu items as well. read more
