    Jarrod R.

    Dear Slim - As a guy that's well versed in the art of chicken tender consumption, I have to say I was a little skeptical, you being the like the new kid on the block with the flashy bike and all. I was wrong with my preconceived expectations of average. Based on my first experience here I am very impressed. Your meaty and flavorful chicken tenders, in a perfectly golden fried batter, are as good as any I've had anywhere. The gravy however, was the true show stopper for me; Michael Jordan at the top of the key with the game on the line kind of situation. The gravy was thick, rich and ever so peppery. I start to salivate a little just at the thought of it. The fries are a pretty typical, good but not memorable offering with full credit for being crisp. Rounding out the tender basket is a couple of pieces of toast; a hard to go wrong, necessity for soaking up the last of the gravy. In addition to the chicken tenders, there are wings, a chicken sandwich, chicken and waffles, several wrap choices and a couple of salads. The additional side choices include mac & cheese, coleslaw, potato salad and fries. They also have fried okra, pickles and mushrooms, but they are unfortunately only available in the large size. I understand places have their policies and reasons, but personally I think it'd be a big plus to be able to order a regular size side of the fried okra. If nothing else, Slim's should make an exception for Texas. Another impressive thing about Slim's is their extensive arsenal of dipping sauces. With options of slim sauce, ranch, cayenne ranch, blue cheese, gravy, BBQ, honey BBQ, spicy BBQ, Korean BBQ, garlic Parmesan, sweet red chili, honey mustard, mango habanero, Sriracha garlic, buffalo, hot and inferno, I'm very impressed. All of the non-creamy options above are also available as sauce on the wings. The setup maybe fast food, but the food is definitely in a different category. I highly recommend the chicken tenders and gravy.

    OMG. SO Much Flavor. And the service is amazing. I have actually found a reason to drive to Lubbock from Austin. First stop of the day was for just a couple cups of ice, but the girls there were so nice and it smelled so good we came back for dinner. Lezeria met us at the register and was amazingly sweet, the others were as well, suggesting for our first experience here the Buffalo Wraps -so of course it was a resounding "Yes, Please"! I had the deep fried mushrooms as a side & my compadre had the fries. Both hot, crisp, & Delish! We ended up ordering a Strawberry Salad to go since it looked so good....& even though we were stuffed after only half a wrap each (saved the rest for the trip home), there was No Way we were missing out on trying the decadent looking desserts . So good, we started googling how to get a franchise. Do yourself a favor and bring the family, you won't be disappointed. Worth the trip, worth the time, & WAY worth the $.

    I had my first Chicken and Waffles. I was a bit unsure whether to try it or not. I'm glad I did. The chicken tenders was soft and a little crispy on the outside, and with the waffles and syrup it was very tasty... delicious.

    I ordered for curbside pick up and arrived a few minutes early. I waited until my pickup time to call the store to tell them which spot I was parked in despite them already knowing due to me having to put my make, model, and color in when I ordered. I waited 10 minutes past my "ready" time and still hadn't been helped at all. What I don't understand is why they ask for the vehicle information if they aren't going to use it to correlate with the cameras facing the designated spots. I drove around to the drive thru where i was greeted by an employee laughing and cursing through the intercom and telling me I would have to come inside to pick up my order (what's the point in curbside then?) When I pulled up to the window the employee was very apologetic for her team members actions which shouldn't be her responsibility. Overall, this whole situation could've been avoided if there was a better system for curbside and professional employees. I spoke with the GM who said he would look into the situation... we'll see about that, he didn't seem too worried about their actions.

    What an awesome we had. My other half had a Chef Salad that was excellent he said! Presentation…read morewas colorful, fresh and tasty. I had the Ribeye Steak Sandwich which was perfectly cooked to my liking! "Mooing" rare! lol. There was a generous portion of sliced steak in a soft hoagie type bun. For our drinks we had Arnold Palmers that were perfectly portioned! This is a sports type bar and grill with plenty of TV's, comfortable seating, music playing that was at a perfect level so we could actually hear ourselves talk to each other. Prices were reasonable and our server was excellent! I wish I had asked her name. She was efficient, pleasant and very helpful with our questions.

    I popped in around 3 p.m. on a Tuesday and was surprised to find the place buzzing--people eating,…read moreday-drinking, working on laptops, or boldly attempting all three at once. With three folks at the bar and five tables seated, our server Mandi was absolutely owning the room. Not a hint of stress--just calm, confident, boss-babe energy. I was greeted right away, my drink showed up fast, and my food wasn't far behind. Timing? Nailed it. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak with extra cheese (because obviously) and asked for jalapeños. For my side, I went with the French fries at Mandi's recommendation--always trust the fry intel. When the food arrived, I immediately took a bite...okay, that's a lie. I took pictures first. Priorities. After my second bite, Mandi swooped in and noticed the missing jalapeños before I even said a word. She asked if I wanted them grilled and honestly? Genius. Yes. A thousand times yes. Food Review: Soft, pillowy bread. Tender, plentiful meat. Extra cheese in the exact right "this makes my heart happy" ratio. The fries were hot, crispy, and had just enough skin-on bits to feel fancy and comforting at the same time. Downright delicious. Would I go back? Absolutely.

    I think this is one of the best restaurants in Lubbock, hands down. Dirk's is a chicken joint…read morelocated right outside of downtown Lubbock. On the side of the building is a mural stylized after Dirk West cartoons with Raider Red chasing chickens, which immediately helps you understand this food is about to be heavenly. I miss my college town favorites since moving to Austin, so it's always a beautiful moment to return these spaces especially with a friend that always generates great conversation. Inside the restaurant are two spaces: the bar and the tables. We arrived a little after 6 pm, and the dinner rush had beaten us there, plus a large birthday party, which gave us a 30-minute wait or immediate seating at the bar. Bar it is! We were immediately seated and served water. They have a full open bar, some select bottled beer options, and draft choices from their sister location, Brewery LBK. The decor of the restaurant is built around cartoonist and former Lubbock mayor Dirk West. The artwork, statues, and other pieces from Dirk's collection give the place a lot of great character. Their menu is slim, and Dirk's is better for it. I love a menu that limits your options because you know everything is going to be done to the highest level. Their options span from different styles of chicken tenders and bone-in chicken, including Korean Fried Chicken and Nashville Hot Chicken, while also serving traditional bone-in chicken and chicken tenders. I've had a few things from their menu, but this time I ordered their traditional chicken tenders with mashed potatoes topped with jalapeño bacon gravy and their fried okra. It felt like the order was placed in front of me before I had finished ordering; it was that efficient. Places that have small menus not only seem to focus on quality, but they can also churn out meals quicker because they're always firing variations of the same thing. Everything in front of me, from their specialty sauce to the large amount of fried okra and their perfectly breaded and fried chicken tenders, was immaculate. The best part of all of it is the price tag. With the rising costs of fast food, Dirk's is not too dissimilar and is ultimately affordable for the value and amount of food you get. I don't know what else to add here. If you like chicken, I cannot recommend this place enough. If you don't like chicken, you were never 8 years old before. RIYL: Chicken with the quality of sit-down restaurants but the efficiency of Raising Cane's.

    I got chicken tenders plate (comes with two sides so I got the fried okra and mashed potatoes with…read morejalapeños gravy and comes with one sauce so I got the Dirk signature sauce) . I also tried the nashville hot chicken. Let's go pros: I really enjoyed the side options and the amount of food for the price. Chicken was juicy on the inside and not dry. The flavor on the Nashville hot chicken was enjoyable. Cons: The chicken itself doesn't feel marinated or anything so the flavor isn't in the chicken itself. The seasoning on the tenders was very minimal and just tasted like a lot of salt. Same with the okra... the fry on the okra was good but just tasted like salt. The mashed potatoes were fine but the "bacon" in the gravy was canadian bacon or something because it wasn't crispy like bacon. I wouldn't get the mash again.. Nashville definitely had better flavor, but was very very very oily. It's also has like virtually no spice. Dirks signature sauce is like canes sauce but tangier... (Canes is better I'm sorry). Service was good! They do charge 2.5% credit card fee so bring cash.
