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

NOPE. If you gotta have fast food chicken, go to Churches or Canes (in my opinion). I had a very expensive (over 10 bucks) 6 wing meal from Slim at this location and I would NEVER have it again. I can get better wings at my local Chinese takeout. The wings come in a sauce, I chose buffalo and yes it tasted like buffalo, but the wings themselves had the texture of boiled chicken. There was no crispiness of a fried wing. It was a bland, rubbery-skinned wing covered in buffalo sauce. The fries were tepid and soggy and the "Texas Toast" (what idiot decided that Fried chicken needed fries AND bread?) isn't even "Texas" thick, the defining factor of Texas Toast!! This is just a regular piece of white sandwich bread. You can't serve wings if they are going to taste like that read more

This is my first time eating from here today I order it on door dash app and the order was made and ready for pick up less then 5 mins and was dropped off at my house so fast usually when I order food on door dash the person stays waiting on my food to be made for 10 min or more but they had it done so fast by the time my door dashed came and when I got the food it looked so put together in the box and I love it I gave my bf a piece of chicken and he tasted it first and said it was fire af I'm 9 months pregnant and this is such good chicken was so yummy came apart easy and was so yummy my new favorite place love my first experience here thank you I will definitely be eating now on here read more

We have been going this location for five years, and it was one of our favorite places to eat at, but, not any more! For the last few months the service and the food quality dropped off so bad , so we talked to the manager and nothing changed, the chicken was dry / over cooked/ under cooked multiple times. Yesterday, I went to get food for my kids, and I was waiting more than 20 minutes ( there was only me and 2 other customers, so I didn't get why it should take that long to get one meal of 7 tenders) , and while I was waiting one of the manager's friends came in and the manager took his order , and the friend got his order before any of the other customers that have been waiting for 20 minutes and maybe even longer ! I got mad and I explained to the employee there that it's very disrespectful and ignorant to do this thinking that nobody will notice or say anything about, I know it's not her fault and she was doing what she was asked to do ! I told her you just lost a customer and asked her to let her manager know that his friend is not supposed to get his food before any of us ( it was me , a mother of 2 kids that are waiting to get their food, an old man in his 60s and another man in his 50s) !! The place is under staffed I can understand it, but to be managed that way it's bad, the manager could go help his staff getting the food ready instead of asking his short staff to take care of his friend's friend before any other order !!! Very disappointed!! Not going back again! read more

I've never left a review and I've always refused to leave a negative review....but this was so bad I had to make an exception. Extremely dry tint thin rubbery piece of chicken between a crumbling dry bun...that's how I would describe the chicken sandwich. Followed up with old chewy fries that were anything but fresh. And this is coming from someone that doesn't leave reviews. No wonder I was the only customer in here at dinner time . I'm sorry...but this isn't ok read more

After driving by this place multiple times, I decided to pop in and give it a go. The space itself has a decent set up. I was happy to see they had the Chiefs game on the TV's. The line to the counter moved rather slow, but that gave me time to give the menu a good once over. I decided to go with the hot buffalo and mango habanero wings. The menu said it came with a side, but it's just fries, so they may want to say that on the menu instead of saying a side. At least I'm assuming so, since I wasn't asked what side I wanted. The wings were all cooked well. I liked the flavor of the hot buffalo, but the sauce was rather thin, as it was mainly at the bottom of the basket under the wings. The mango habanero was thicker, but a bit too citrusy for my taste. Both flavors did have a decent heat level. The cayenne ranch dipping sauce was good also. I'm sure I'll be back at some point to try some of the other wing flavors. read more

First time in today. Walked in so I'd have some time to read the menu. Had just gotten "new eyes" and tested 20/20 near and far, but the graphics on the menu board, and on the printed menu itself were way too small, and difficult to read quickly without standing still and paying special attention. Also, the noise level in the restaurant was near painful, despite the fact that I love the Delta blues that was playing and used to play blues guitar myself for years; it was just overwhelming when trying to communicate. The sandwich I tried was OK good for fast food, but it will be a awhile before I go back. Not really my cup of....whatever. Service was polite and helpful when I could hear what they were saying. read more

I have been to this place several times but no for awhile. Each time I go back the chicken "strips" get smaller. Last time a week ago they were no bigger than my index finger. Flavor was fine but way over priced. Basically looked like they took a chicken tender from Hy-Vee and cut it to make 3. read more

I stopped in to try this place as it is near my mom's house and I was kinda thinking chicken might hit the spot. Don't come here expecting a three piece bone-in dark meat meal. There menu had chicken sandwich, chicken tenders, and Buffalo chicken work a variety of sauces. It also included salad with chicken. I decided on 10 pieces of Buffalo style winds in two different sauces, and orders it to go. I have two stars because there counter staff was helpful and polite however the Buffalo wings were cold. I'm not sure if the meat was warm before the sauce and if there sauce was cold, or if there whole thing was cold. It was only 3 minutes to my mom's house and I was disappointed with the temperature of the food. Additionally, the wings were put in the same to go container. The typical Styrofoam container with the little dividers. The to sets of wings had so much cold sauce that the two flavors did not stay separated. I had one taste by the time I arrived. read more

A group of my friends and I went on a Saturday night after soccer, all sweaty. We were amongst other customers and ordered 40 wings and a variety of sauces. The staff was very nice and took our orders with an awesome attitude. They also threw in an extra large basket of fries! They have 10+ sauces you can mix in or have on the side. The wings were good, maybe slightly above average. They were nicely cooked and fried, but honestly they weren't anything special. The sauces were all unique and added a nice touch to the wings. The Texas toast that comes with the meal were pretty plain. But the restaurant overall is very clean and we had a very good experience, as well as a nice ambience of the restaurant. I will have to come back to try the chicken sandwich combo! The price is very reasonable too! read more

The chicken is juicy, the waffles are great and delicious, and the tea is sweet. This is a great place for our family to eat any meal. My only problem was the price for just a waffle because my kids love their waffles. read more

Had to check out the new chicken place in town. As you go in, you are greeted with a friendly face (or multiple!) and you proceed to look up at their big menu and order whatever you like, as long as it's chicken or a custard dessert. I ordered the 3 & 3 plate, which comes with 3 tenders, 3 wings, texas toast, and fries. Overall, nothing blew my mind as far as taste. Even though they say it is "made to order," my wings were cold. I give it 2 stars for it being pretty basic and you could go to McDonalds and get something better. I also ordered their cheese cake in a jar dessert. Now, they gained an extra star here. This is unique and tasted super good! Overall, 2 stars on the main food, and 3 stars for the dessert offering. You could get better chicken at KFC or McDonalds, or any other fast food chain. If they really want to differentiate, then they should probably be different. read more

Went back to try them again after receiving a coupon for a free Chick Plate for my birthday. The service was very fast for my to-go order. The tenders juicy and flavorful and everything but the toast was hot this time. My only complaint is that the container they gave me of Inferno sauce was at most 1/3 full.... and it was a small container to begin with. I BARELY had enough for dipping my three tenders. Nothing for the fries which was very disappointing. The Inferno has good flavor and adequate heat. I'll definitely be getting that again. And I'll remember to check the amount in the container before I leave next time. read more

Let's talk Slim Chickens... :))) The best thing about Slim Chickens is the music and the cranberry lemonade. Everything else (even the salads I suspect) is fried. It's a decent light batter and although nearly everything is fried, it's not at all greasy. But the batter is truly void of flavor and rather boring. That might be purposeful so it's more universally accepted as they do have dipping sauce for about every taste. The Fried Pickles were decent. You got a lot of them for not too much money, the honey mustard and ranch dipping sauces were good. My boy's Kid's Basket had a couple chicken strips, a load of fries and couple pieces of bread. The bread was his favorite part...who knows? My daughter got a thing called a, Slim Wrap and it was exactly what you might expect. I got the eight piece wings, w/o sauce (they were little and pretty dry but it happens. I was able to substitute my fries for possibly the most tasteless cole slaw ever constructed and that was a shame because a great slaw can save an entire meal. In the end, spent $32 and for two kids and an adult it would cost that anywhere we'd gone. But next time we'll go anywhere else. read more

Been to this location a couple of times at lunch. Quick to get in and quick to get my food. Both times the chicken was "wait a couple minutes to eat" hot. The restaurant was clean as well. read more

The food there has always been good, however we just went through the drive through to grab lunch and I found metal bristles from a grill brush in my food. I'm probably just being paranoid, but I feel like there is one stuck in my throat now. I suggest checking your food before taking a bite! read more

Slim Chickens - The bristles from a grill brush. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

Just went there for the first time. It's a fast food restaurant. I had the three piece chicken tender meal. I would say the French fries were average, Texas toast wasn't great, the chicken tenders were pretty good, but the dipping sauces were excellent. I can see returning... read more

Food was cold and service was bad. Staff working the counter were more focused on their personal life than working.

We've been there many times. It used to be when a company boasted of "COOKED TO ORDER" & [AND!] we expressly asked (practically begged) for, "Please fresh & hot?" then that's what you got. But recently, over the past several months, it's become increasingly CLEAR if the chicken is hot, then the fries are bound to be Luke-warm, or vice versa. At least twice, or more like the last 3 times, we POLITELY asked for "fresh & hot" and it was NEITHER. We spend right near $30 every time we go. Why do we get lied to at least 1/2 (or more like three-quarters) of the time? ... we even say "We don't mind waiting" - and the help just nods and do as they please. Meaning, they could generally care less. The ONE time it was fresh & hot my partner warned the person at the register, "If it isn't hot then we'll bring it back and you can eat it." Remember, this is TWO of us ordering, always politely, courteously, and we've JUST ABOUT given up on going back there - just to be insulted w/ food that's nearly 30 minutes past due date. Is it THAT HARD to UNDERSTAND "Some people prefer fresh & hot?!" No it isn't ... we're going to TRY this one more time today. I'm not holding my breath. Odds are it'll be semi-soggy. read more

Wife and I are both sick today. Don't be fooled by the one $ sign for this place. A chick wrap should not cost 10 bucks. Everything was about 9 bucks. Literally sick as dogs. I am writing this review while sitting on toilet with a trash can in front of me waiting for wave three to purge like an exorcism. It is like the chicken is inside of me still alive trying to get out. Wife is occupying other bathroom. It sounds like Oko ono is performing a concert down there. For all that is holy to sweet baby Jesus, avoid this place or make sure you have a priest on speed dial. I am going to have to set up a TV tray in the bathroom today just to get some computer work done. Does anyone out there want to run and get us meds for us? There is so much gas that I look like I am ready for a csection. Need to wrap this up now. Another concert starting downstairs. read more

A group of friends met here for a quick bite. We were very impressed with the service, cleanliness and fresh hot food. It wasn't quick, but that's because the chicken was cooked to order. Worth the short wait! So many sauces to enjoy! The mac and cheese was the best, cheesy and creamy! The grilled chicken and salad was good- the chicken was tender and the salad had a nice mix of greens and veggies. We all had a bite of the chicken and waffles and it was very satisfying. We split a few Cheesecake bite desserts and they were delicious! Served in Mason jars, the portions were very generous. The Peach tea and Lemonade is so very tasty. The man at the counter was very helpful and didn't mind telling us about the different sauces. The girl that brought us our dinners was so cheerful. The restaurant (and the bathrooms) are spotless! While we were on the back patio, a waitress came out to buss our table and clean the other tables. She was very friendly and made certain we were taken care of. We have been back for lunch and it was excellent as well. read more

As a Lenexa resident, I was very excited to try out Slim Chickens. Not only had I heard a lot of good things about their food, chicken strips happen to be one of my favorites. Unfortunately, I have been disappointed. For the record, I have been there a total of 4 times because I kept hoping that I had missed something. (And I had some free meal coupons come my way...) First visit: Chicks Basket w/ side upcharge (3 tenders, side salad, toast, dipping sauce: ranch) feedback: chicken- meh, side salad- yum! and a good portion size Second visit: Slims Salad feedback: pricey, but it was a bigger salad that I thought it might be. Tasty! Third visit: free Chicks Basket (3 tenders, fries, toast, dipping sauce: Spicy BBQ) feedback: I swear the chicken keeps getting smaller! TONS of fries! spicy BBQ sauce? not spicy AT ALL!) Fourth visit: free Chicks Basket (3 tenders, potato salad, toast, dipping sauce: Cayenne Ranch) feedback: baby chicken tenders, cayenne ranch was just okay, potato salad was great! lots of good flavors. Overall, I'm completely underwhelmed. The food is just meh, and for the price, there are tons of places I'd rather go! The tenders are slim indeed...3 tender basket sounds like it should be enough, but the chicken alone feels like just a snack. For folks that don't love heavily breaded chicken, Slim Chickens might be your place. I would much rather have that fried crunchy coating, and I won't get that here. However, that's just my preference. The toast is just basic, but seeing as I love bread, I welcome that side with the meals. The best thing about Slim Chickens in Lenexa? The staff has been incredible. They have been welcoming, helpful, friendly with each visit. They occasionally stop by and check on you, and this feels really nice. AND? The Peach Tea is AMAZING! However, if I'm craving fried chicken, I'm gonna go somewhere else. Sorry... read more

Mac and cheese with hot sauce & chicken is legit! 5 Stars!!! Okra, fried pickles & mushrooms are excellent! Sweet tea, peach tea, lemonade, cranberry lemonade are excellent drinks! Waffles were soggy but chicken was cooked perfectly. Pumpkin jar was 3 Stars not enough pudding or cream. Service was 5 Stars!!! read more

Best place for chicken strips as long as it is cooked to order. Because it's better hot off the fryer. I tend to order mushrooms instead of fries. Some people like the fries but the mushrooms are worth the wait and upcharge and it should come with ranch. Now for the sauce's and this is what makes this place stand out. My go to sauce is Mango Habanero and White Gravy. They have many more to choose. After that if you can handle a jar dessert I would recommend right now the strawberry cheesecake. And when they have fruit pies pick all the above. It takes 5 minutes but it's so worth it. And I'm a huge fan of their App. They have an easy way to order to go if your in a hurry and they like to give you $4 dollars for every $50 spent. And if you can convince your friends to use your special code and they download and purchase something you get $4. I just love the App and it's easy to scan the receipts on hand at Slims. This place is not 3 stars if you love chicken. I guess you can get it grilled also. But what's the fun in that. read more

I'm reserving 5 stars until I've been here more often than twice. Both times I went (several weeks apart), I was promptly greeted, moved through the drive-thru line efficiently, and politely greeted and thanked by the person who took my money and gave me my food. The food is top notch! I'm impressed with the containers the food comes in, which make it easy to eat in my vehicle. Everything is exceedingly fresh and delicious. And I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices! read more

I've seen this business on Facebook and thought we'd give it a try. The food is good, not anything to write hone about but much better than most fast food restaurants. The service is great and very quick. The mango habernero is their best sauce. read more

From Dallas came here on vacation with my family and very disappointed, my order was wrong, my wife didn't even finish the meal, got my sons order wrong and other son who's is the army finished it with remorse never come here read more

Great food, horrible experience with staff. Will return, but never to this location. I'd like to share the email I sent to their corporate office that has gone completely unanswered. To be fair, seeing the responses they leave on negative reviews I don't know why I would have expected to get any sort of apology or even recognition of the fact that an employee made a horrible choice. Customer service clearly isn't this company's strong suit. May 30, 2017 I came to this location this evening to purchase dinner for three. I spent over $65 on what would probably be $15 worth of groceries if I had made it myself. I had no problem paying for this because my last experience here was excellent, the service and the food. Last time I came I ate in the dining room. This time I went through the drive-thru. There were multiple employees with headsets on at the speaker. One of the girls that was helping me was very respectful and helpful. Another girl was making a loud obnoxious laughing sound at the same time. I had to actually stop while I was ordering to ask if everything was OK because it was so disruptive while I was trying to order. When I got to the window the girl who took my payment was again very polite, but as the window was closing another female employee behind her, whose name tag I couldn't see because it was covered by her hair, very loudly said "Why are customers being so bitchy today?!" I couldn't believe I actually heard her say that. When I was being handed my food I asked the girl at the window who was making the loud noises when I was trying to order and she pointed to the same girl that had made the horrible comment. I told the girl helping me that I thought that those noises were very rude and that I overheard the comment that the other girl said about the customers. She apologized but clearly did not know what to say, as if she was embarrassed by the situation. I left her by saying she really needs to be careful with what she says when customers are present. With chicken products being such a saturated market, I could've gone anywhere for dinner. Due to an excellent visit last time I chose to come back here over Raising Canes, Zaxby's, Chick-fil-A, Church's Chicken, etc.... I'm incredibly disappointed by the actions of your employee and truly hope this isn't something your company condones. read more

We love stopping at Slim Chickens for a quick meal and enjoy it regularly, but today was different. It's a good thing I enjoy cold fried chicken. Normally the chicken is so hot I have to cut it and let it cool before eating, which I like. Today it was barely above room temperature. The fries were the same and just too cold to eat. Very disappointing!!! My normal would give them 4 stars, as it is still fast food and the bread is never very good. The food normally is good. read more

Not sure what all the hype is about this place....not much to brag about with the chicken tenders. Not much flavor....Go Chicken Go is still the BOMB place to go! read more

I had the Chick plate which is 3 tenders fries and a drink for 7 bucks. Not a terrible price but the tenders were very small, despite that they were pretty dang tasty! I'll go back to try the wings. read more

Stopped in for lunch before a meeting. I ordered one of the chicken baskets with the cayenne ranch and took my seat. The food was out fairly quickly. The first thing I noticed was that for the price the chicken tenders were very small. The fries however were crisp and well salted. The texas toast, would be better described as just toast as it was thin and unsatisfying. Out of the whole meal the best part was the cayenne ranch, which was disappointing. read more

Bland and uninspired. They do have a bunch of sauces to put on your chicken, but the chicken itself was as boring and meh as it gets. The fries were also meh. The restaurant was clean and the staff was helpful and the chicken wasn't over or under cooked. But if you want better than meh chicken go somewhere else. read more

Drove by when this was under construction. Was hoping for something great to happen here. Well...it didn't. French fries-stale. Toast-stale. Chicken tenders were okay but nothing outstanding. The honey BBQ sauce was okay. Lemonade was basic but served with too much ice and in a Styrofoam cup. Yuck! I was given 7 packets of ketchup for one order of fries! And a stack of napkins for one dinner order! Somebody needs to explain the cost of doing business to the staff! Customers do not like picking up the tab on massive waste. Staff at the drive-thru did nothing special to bring me back. I will stick with Chick-Fil-A. read more

BLAND chicken and EXPENSIVE! They serve toasted sandwich bread and call it "Texas Toast". Nope! It's just toast!! And looks like they are splitting their tenders in half now? Kids eat free? Must be hurting! On par with Zaxby's (which is also horrible). Cane's or better yet - Strip's, is the way to go! read more

Very disappointed with the food. I usually go to the location on 135th but was in Lenexa today so I thought I would do the drive thru then take it home. 10 to 15 minutes later I open the box to grab a wing and it's not even warm, as if the chicken was just sitting around. I thought it was very odd that I got my food so quickly. Owner/Manager/Employee please see this review and figure out what is going on. Your location on 135th is amazing, there's no excuse why your location can't be the same. read more

Below mediocre. Soggy fries, soggy chicken sandwich. It's just a lower version of chik-fila. Food was room temperature at best. I was very disappointed by this meal on my lunch break. I can't see myself going back here. read more
