    Chicken & Waffles
    Leslie A.

    Try this place on a random Saturday early evening and did the drive-through only. Luckily, there was no line. Pricing is pretty fair. However, the area is sparse with competition especially on places that specialize on chicken tenders. For example, raising canes is still not in the area yet. While the staff was very nice, it did take a little while for the food to be prepared. Further, we did get to Sotos and there was something off about the syrup in the machine but that is not their fault. That is something to address with Coca-Cola. Overall, the food was solid and it was good however, not really seasoned at all as far as a chicken batter is concerned. The waffles or waffles nothing fantastic or unique. I'm not sure I would come back because there's nothing that truly sticks out. Keep in mind the brand new Popeyes in town just opened right across the block.

    This West Lafayette location is the only one in Indiana! I hope they add more! The restaurant started in 2003 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It's really nice inside. The employees were friendly and helpful! They had about 4 different teas and fresh lemonade available. We ordered chicken and waffles, slim wraps, and fried okra. All were good! I really liked the breading on the chicken. It had nice flavor to and it wasn't greasy and they perfectly sized tenders. They use a buttermilk marinade for the chicken and are hand breaded. They had 17 different sauces to choose from and they had a refrigerator of delicious looking dessert jars. Chocolate brownie pudding, strawberry cheesecake, and Oreo cheesecake jars. They also offer milkshakes, fried mushrooms, fried pickles, salads, wraps and wings. Will be back!

    Chick's Meal

    Burnt toast. Soggy fries. The only thing worth coming back for is the ranch. By "burnt toast" I mean BURNT toast. And it's not even good bread?? It's basically Wonder Bread. Fries are so unremarkable it's scary. Chicken fingers are small and reminiscent of frozen tenders from the grocery. This is my second time getting food from them. Thought the first bad meal was a fluke so I didn't bother leaving a review. Now I know why they never have lines at the drive through.

    Chicken and waffles
    Luke W.

    One of the easiest recommendations I've had, us guys have dropped in four times in past two weeks! The strawberry milkshake, wow! Chicken and waffles, cayenne spicy chicken sandwich, and atmosphere here are winners. The service isn't fast food fast but about right for quality. The drive through a Wednesday night was crazy slow, about 20 minutes waiting. Rewards program is excellent, prices decent, they're often out of ingredients which is odd considering nothing here is that unique except the okra but who is getting all of that? Would like to see gluten and dairy free options showing up quickly. Popeyes and Slims are the new standard for chicken sandwiches, menu variety, and casual eating.

    Went in for dinner with my family. I was hopeful the bread and fries would be better this time ,but I was wrong it wasn't. So I tried the fried mushrooms. They were just ok, but the cheese cake jars they are yummy, and chicken isn't bad either. For service, I wasn't blown away. There was a young lady who was very rude while taking our order, not to mention my order wasn't correct after I received it. I might give them another chance a few months down the road when they arnt so new .

    3&3 meal. 3 tenders and 3 wings with 2 sauces and fries.

    I'm not usually one for chain restaurants but I have been hearing a lot of good things about Slim Chickens and I decided to give them a try since I was close by. I'm glad I stopped in and I was pleasantly surprised with the taste of the chicken and the sauces I chose. I went for the 3 and 3 meal which included 3 tenders and 3 n bone in wings. I opted for the sauce on the side and was able to choose from actual sauce or even seasoning rubs. I went with Buffalo and Garlic Parmesan and both were to my liking. The Buffalo seems like a classic Buffalo with not too much heat and the Garlic Parmesan was a lot more flavorful than I expected. There was a lot of food in the basket and for the price I payed I felt it was worth what I got. The meal comes with 2 sauces, a drink and fries. I'm not sure if you can substitute sides or not. The drink selection is fountain style Coke products and a selection of teas brewed separately. The bone in wings were all different sizes and I received a bonus wing most likely due to one or two being a little on the skimpy side. The meat on the wings were tasty and not dry or over cooked. The tenders were breaded up with a nice coating that wasn't too thick and they were pretty decent size. Overall very pleased for a chain restaurant and most likely will stop by again when I'm in a rush!

    Food was good, but found a hair in my cayenne ranch. I don't think I can eat ranch from there after this

    Tonight I was fortunate to have been invited to the Friends & Family soft open of the new West Lafayette Slim Chickens. With it being a soft opening, I was managing my usually high expectations of a restaurant but they hit it out of the park! The food was served very fast, hot, perfectly cooked and it was seriously delicious! They provided stellar service even on a training night. The seating area is comfortable and well decorated. They have a drive thru, outside and inside seating. And we loved the fresh brewed teas and lemonade. We can't wait for Slim Chickens to fully open and try other things on the menu like the buffalo chicken wrap, milkshakes and that dreamy cheesecake jar! Yum!!!

    We went on New Years. Clearly they were slammed and had key employees not show up according to the…read moremanager who apologized profusely. We will give it another shot because of that. We were celebrating our anniversary so it was a special night for us. Our waitress was super but stretched thin so she wasn't as attentive as she probably was on another night. This is a very upscale place. Decor and service reflect that. Good old fashioned steakhouse vibe. Oysters Rockafeller were perfect. Bread was fresh and absolutely delicious. He had American Wagyu Ribeye. I had Steak Oscar. Both were cooked appropriately. Maybe slightly under seasoned as we both added salt which is not typical for us. The Old Fashioned was really good and they had a wide selection of wine/beer and a handful of specialty cocktails. Our 2nd round of drinks was comped due to slow service at the bar and dessert was on the house for our anniversary which we really appreciated. We will definitely go back and try other things on the menu. Our steaks were good but I wouldn't say they were worth the price. $110 for his and $80ish for my Oscar. It was a filet with truffled hollandaise sauce and a scant amount of King Crab. They no longer serve King Crab due to the cost. Strange. If we would pay $110 for a steak why wouldn't we pay for King Crab due but that was a minor detail. I wouldn't say have preferred more crab...give me snow crab. The dessert was delightful. Baked Alaska served table side with plenty of rum. Thank you for making us feel valued and special!

    If you judge your dining experience based on how much you spend, you're gonna love this place…read more However if you base it on the food quality given the price point, you will not be as enamored with it. Last time I got the lobster bisque and it may have been the best I've ever had. I ordered it again and it was terrible. Just terrible. Tasted kind of bitter and was much too dark for a lobster bisque. The side dishes are enormous and they were all ok. The charred broccoli is an entire stalk thrown on a grill. Char on outside, raw on inside. Lovely. My American Wagyu bone-in strip was good, though it tasted no different than prime meat and did cost $95. I would have hoped for better than just 'good'. Family enjoyed most items. I sampled the wedge and really liked that. Probably best part of the meal. Oysters were excellent. Drinks are always good here. They have upgraded their rum list and have some high quality ones now. That's great! Service is always top notch. I will definitely be back for happy hours. The food at this restaurant is good. But when 2 adults and 3 kids drop $800 on a meal, it really ought to be fantastic, not just good.

The daily special was flank steak fajitas and they were excellent. Steak was prepared very well and the onions, peppers and rice to go along with them were delicious. We shared a chicken quesadilla, which quite frankly I would go back and order as a main course next time because it is on the regular menu. It was made very well with the tortilla being cooked perfectly, and the chicken with a little bit of a spicy kick to it. Most importantly, we enjoyed the atmosphere at Hunters Pub with all the key sports on the televisions and not to loud. The service was exceptional. A very big thank you to Kimberly, who made our dinner much more enjoyable. She was very good at giving recommendations as to what we should pick off the menu.. Great personality and even better smile!

    Triple XXX root beer was king of the hill back when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's. Damn…read morefine root beer, too! So imagine my (pleasant) surprise that there was but one Triple XXX restaurant that remained open, carrying the torch (as it were) for that great root beer! So on a nice and humid Saturday, me, hubby, and our little Puppy hopped in the car for a 2+ hr drive to West Lafayette IN for lunch! Of course - we got there - an old-style-diner-like building perched on a hill close to Perdue University in West Lafayette! We were seated in the outdoor "full service" tented section of the restaurant (covered) and perused the menu. After ordering the obligatory Triple XXX root beer (but of course - which came with free refills) we turned to the menu! Hubby ordered the Barney Burger - a 1/4 lb chop steak burger with cheese and grilled onions - as fyi, no burger comes with condiments- you get to "dress your own the way you like it" with condi's on the table. I ordered the Bernie Flowers All-Pro - a 1/4 lb chop steak with lettuce, tomato, onion (which I held) and Miracle Whip (yes!) on a toasty sesame bun. We both got curly fries (which were yummy, btw). Ok- first thoughts- the burgers - while fresh- were a bit dry. Hmm. The lettuce on my Bernie was a nice, crisp, and cold leaf. Yes! The tomato was freshly sliced and - honestly- looked like one I'd cut at home. Sweet! So why the 4 stars - I mentioned the meat was dry? Oh my. Yes, that's the sole demerit. But props to the fries and the awesome Root Beer! We enjoyed it - and just in the nick of time. No sooner did we finish up than a severe thunderstorm rolled into town! So we skedaddled to the car, hopped in, and drove thru drenching rain, super strong winds, some light hail - until we got outta Indiana on our way back to Illinois. Would we come again? Of course! Gotta support places like this-they're an important part of Americana! Check it out yourself and enjoy- as we did!

    This is my second time here driving back from Chicago to Ohio and both times I have stopped here…read morefor lunch. The first time I got breakfast and a root beer. This time I got a burger and root beer. This isn't fancy food, this is country cooking at it's finest. The root beer is amazing. I should have asked about a root beer float, next time. You walk it and sit where ever you can. It it a long counter that wraps around and the wait staff walk inside it. The fries are yummy, and the burger was perfect for what I needed a solid meal since I hadn't eaten in almost 9 hours. Yep sounds like a personal problem. But hey at least the food here has been perfect both times. Maybe next time I will buy a shirt or at least some root beers to go with me. My burger was a true knife and fork meal. At least I am too old to be wearing my chili all over my beard and shirt. Highly recommend if in the area and it is only 5 miles off the interstate. Drive in and enjoy a yummy meal.
