    Strawberry Cheesecake Jar Dessert & Nilla Banana Pudding Jar Dessert! Both excellent!!

    Fast service, a few TV's to watch, & blues playing on the intercom! My hunny got a Buffalo Mac bowl, I got a HUNGRY meal (1/2 went home ) with buffalo sauce. Both meals were delicious & we will definitely be back for more. The homemade desserts were simply amazing!!

    10/24/24 My husband and I ordered a to go order from here. Slim Chickens exceeded our expectations! We ordered the 5 tenders and 5 wings meal to share, and every bite was packed with flavor. The chicken was perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. We were especially impressed by the variety of sauces available, all made in-house, adding a uniqueness to every bite. The restaurant itself was very nice, clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were attentive and friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we'll definitely be back soon!

    Their food is good. My opinion I prefer other chicken spots like Joella's, Chick-fil-A, canes, Zaxby's over slim chickens. I also prefer the fries at these other places over Slim chickens. It's not a Bad place to eat and some people may prefer it. Just my thoughts. I do like Slim chickens choices and sauces and they are free. Probably 15 different dipping sauces for your fries and chicken tenders

    This was next to our hotel and we thought we would give it a try. The girl that took our order was really nice. She has some great guest service skills. It's your run of the mill chicken joint pretty much. I'd say it's a knock off of Cane's. Honestly I think I prefer Cane's but it was good. The Mac and cheese was great for a fast food Mac. The fries look like they were seasoned but didn't really taste like it. For a fast food place it's not a bad joint.

    So this place opened up last week and I finally got to go there today. On entering, I was greeted by very friendly staff. Ordering was a breeze and I was STUNNED when my food got to the table before I did!!!! (I'd stopped to get my drink from the fountain). A gentleman, I'm assuming the manager, came out twice to ask us how everything was going. Ambiance is pretty basic with a porch setting available as well, but it was very clean. Food came out piping hot! And it was really good! Better than Chik's/Dave's/Cane's! Chicken tenders meal: 5/5 Buffalo wrap meal: 5/5 Smoky cheddar wrap meal: 5/5 The best thing about their wraps is that the amount of sauce is just right! Not too dry not too overly moist n dripping. I did check their teas and lemonades. I'd rate both a 2/5... sweet tea wasn't sweet enough and the lemonade was too sour for my taste. But overall, very pleasant experience thanks to the friendly staff. Definitely going back. Oh and I was told that if I did the on-the-spot survey (link on receipt), I'd get a brownie.... It was delicious

    Everything I've had at slims chicken is really good, but what I think stands out is there sauce and the toast. The brownie I got was pretty dry but overall very good food.

    I love a good chicken sandwich and I decided to give this new restaurant a try. I went during lunch and it was surprisingly not busy. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich only. I wanted to like the sandwich, but it was flavorless. I had high hopes for this place, but I feel the advertisements made me raise my expectations. Sadly, those expectations were not met.

    I ordered chicken wings here after work, and they were good. I was craving wings; this place was quick and did not disappoint me. I went through the drive-thru and waited about 10 minutes with three people in front of me--that was fast. I ordered fried okra and 8-piece chicken wings with a drink. I'll be coming back here for chicken wings, and it's conveniently located close to work.

    Ok chicken, but JUST ok. Service was adequate. Ambiance is a fast food joint. Frankly the resultant seems to be a rip off of Joella's.

The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and great recommendations. I got the quarter chicken & churrasco steak, and a chicken empanadas (recommended). Everything was delicious and you really get way more that what you pay for! The steak was super tender - get a side of chimichurri with it! The empanada through me off - in a good way. It had chicken, olives, boiled eggs in it. At first I was confused but with the second bite I was hooked. Also the crust was buttery and has a perfect bite to it. I've never had anything like it before. I can't wait to try the beef empanada next time. If you want to try something new I would definitely try this place!

She took the time to bring out a roll, fresh baked cookie, make sure we had all the things we would need, and changed the TV to a children's show so my husband and I could enjoy a date even with our tag along. The food was outstanding! Tasted like it was straight from Latin/South America. Which obviously is a compliment coming from a Colombian and a gringa who loves her food with a Latin flair! Steak is medium with a nice char, and the chicken has a seasoning that is reminiscent of the Caribbean. Rice and beans are always a great combo and you absolutely cannot go wrong with the plantains! We had a chicken empanada which was cooked to perfection, my only regret is not trying the beef empanada as well! Go here. You won't regret it!

If you're not familiar with the Greyline Station, it's a former bus depot which has been transformed into a miniature mall of sorts, with numerous vendors located inside, and I had read a sign that they hold a Farmer's Market on Wednesday evenings from 5:00-7:00 pm. The facility has an accommodatingly large parking lot with plenty of spaces. Nowwwww, to the REAL reason for this review! Once I parked and exited my vehicle, I smelled the most amazing fried chicken, and immediately searched for the source of such an enticing aroma. As I walked towards the building, I saw two nice gentleman sitting outside of the building, near a sign that said Wing KYng, and AHA, SCORE, I found the source of the wonderful fried chicken aroma! Those two gentlemen happened to work in Wing KYng. I told them once I procured my one sought out item in the farmer's market inside the building, I would be returning to procure some of that chicken. Upon my return to Wing KYng, I began asking my typical questions: do they have anything gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and egg free? The staff member was very knowledgeable and advised me that the dry rubs were my best option. I have a myriad of food sensitivities, so I browsed the dry rub options available, and chose a 6 piece chicken wings with Lemon Pepper dry rub. O M Goodness!!Fabulous is the first word to come to mind! The skin was so delectably crunchy, the chicken was moist and tender, and the flavor was perfectly balanced! The cost was $12.00, which is a great price in my mind for the best fried chicken I've had in a good many years. Although I cannot speak to these items, they offer a wide variety of flavors, dips, and Parmesan coated home cut French fries as well. I witnessed one staff member actually cutting the potatoes for the French fries. Truly nice folks work here, and the chicken was phenomenal!!! I will be returning here for sure!

My fiancée and I love cookout milkshakes and recently moved to a city without one, so this was something we were looking forward to on our trip. The inside was not open to the public, and you could only order from one very specific window. This was a bit inconvenient, as the signage was confusing and I stood outside the wrong window for a few minutes before someone decided to correct me. The workers were not that friendly, and I could tell they did not care nor want to be there. When I was handed my tray and milkshakes, I had asked for some extra cookout sauce. I tried to explain that I did not live near a cookout and loved the sauce and wanted to take home a few extras, but the man did not care, gave me two sauces, and told me to leave. This was disappointing, but it is their right to say no. I will say, the milkshakes were great and my fiancée said his quesadillas were awesome compared to others he's had in the past. We were sad to see that this cookout did not serve crinkle fries though. Overall the experience had good and bad parts. It scratched my itch for a good milkshake, but this is definitely not the best cookout I have ever visited.
