    I think this is my new favorite chicken place! 3 strips, 3 wings, fries, toast and a drink. The wings and strips were pretty damn good. Strips had reasonable crispiness, the wings were nice and juicy, the fries not only had GREAT texture, but soaked up some of the meat juices! Mmmmmm . And the garlic toast was perfect! Not too thick like some other places. Oh, and their sweet tea was really good too. They have an array of delicious dipping and wing sauces, but I somehow didn't get sauce *on* my wings. They accidentally put it on the side . But it was really good! Try the cayenne ranch! Not too spicy at all!

    Since BWW moved in down the street it's easier to compare these two wing joints. My verdict: Slim Chickens has a superior product. BWW is a better choice if you're looking to park in front of 35 televisions for 2 or more hours, pound down some cheap watered down beer or play some trivia, but if you're after good wings then Slim Chickens should be your destination. I love spicy food and Slim's inferno wings are awesome. Nice and tasty with a high amount of heat, but not so hot that you can't enjoy them. And as for chicken strips, these strips are outstanding as well. I will never understand why there always seems to be a line at the Chik-Fil-A drive thru 10 cars deep. Slim's is better than anything they have to offer, and without the bigoted overtones one associates with CFA. The SE Norman location might be a little off the beaten path as restaurants go, but that seems to be changing a little with the addition of the BWW down the street.

    Watched Good Mythical Morning (blind tender taste testing) and had to go around Norman/Moore/OKC and try out some local chicken spots to see how their tenders all fare. Tried the Slim Meal - 5pc, Fries, Toast, 2 sauces, and a medium drink. ($8.69) Let's start with the tenders: Moistness - 5 (more greasy than juicy but not dry) Seasoning - 5 (over seasoned if you planned on using sauces) Crunch - 3 (sometimes there, sometimes nonexistent) Overall - 4.33 The tenders were better than I had at KFC but not by much. The temperature wasn't very consistent. Some were just warm and others were piping hot, but the temperature didn't alter the flavor or texture of these tenders. The heat was mostly due to some pockets of hot grease rather than radiant steam and heat. These tenders were a bit confusing since I wasn't sure if they were designed for use with sauce or if they were intended to be eaten on their own. DQ and other spots offer gravy as an accompaniment but I feel like the light corn-mealy breading meant these tenders were designed to be tossed or coated in sauces. However, the amount of seasoning on each of these tenders was conflicting since they would have been overly salty given some sauces (like a buffalo). The texture of the tenders was more rubbery in some bites but never dry or mushy. They kind of tasted like they had been brined for a while or maybe frozen. The sriracha garlic sauce was a home run and definitely the star of the show. The toast was regular white bread (not the thick Texas toast) and didn't have that rich buttery goodness that you might expect. The fries tasted like they had a combination of Lawry's Season all and garlic salt and they were crispy but nothing special. The staff was friendly and attentive. They asked how everything was but I wanted to post the review as is without any possible intervention.

    I love their salad!

    So fresh and close to the house. I've been going here since it has opened, but it keeps getting more and more popular. The salad is my absolutely favorite salad in town. The greens are fresh and veggies good. Throw some chicken and ranch dressing on there and perfect! I even splurged one night on a fried pie, and it was good. Took a while to get, so haven't ordered one since. But enjoyed it!

    Overpriced. Overrated. And my chicken strip was severely undercooked. There are a multitude of better fried chicken options in Norman.

    I debated between a four- and five-star rating, but overall this was still a five-star experience…read more This was my second visit, and I returned because I remembered having the best steak I'd ever eaten here. While this steak wasn't quite as impressive, it was a bit tougher than I'd hoped, the flavor was still phenomenal, with a great smoky, straight-off-the-grill taste. Our server, Gracie, was fantastic: friendly, helpful, and accommodating to our large party. We ordered several appetizers and enjoyed most of them, though the cornbread was noticeably dry according to several people at the table. The coconut pineapple margarita was a standout and well worth ordering. The tropical flavors were delicious, and the coconut rim was a great touch. I also loved my salad, especially the tomatoes, which were surprisingly flavorful. For my entrée, the steak was cooked well and paired nicely with the mashed potatoes. Although the texture kept it from matching my first visit, it was still very enjoyable. One thing we really enjoyed was the atmosphere. We were seated in a room toward the back near the wine cellar, adjacent to a pond outside. It ended up being a great spot because we could watch people enjoying the outdoor area throughout the evening. The restaurant struck a nice balance, it felt upscale and welcoming without being overly quiet. Our group was able to be a little loud and goofy without feeling out of place, which made the experience even more fun. What ultimately secured the five-star rating was dessert. I can't remember its name, but it's pictured in the photo. It was enormous and absolutely incredible, one of the best desserts I've ever had and the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. The steak wasn't quite as tender as I remembered, but the excellent service, great drinks, solid appetizers, enjoyable atmosphere, and outstanding dessert made for a wonderful experience.

    I decided to treat myself today and ordered the Wagyu steak, expecting it to be something special…read more Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. Another person in my group also ordered the Wagyu steak, and we both felt the same way--it was not good at all. For a $51 steak, I expected excellent quality, but instead it tasted like something you could buy at a dollar store. I ended up leaving hungry because I couldn't bring myself to eat it. I do want to recognize the staff. Our server was a very polite young man who provided excellent service, and the hostess was welcoming and hospitable. In the end, my bill was around $60 because I decided to splurge on myself today. It's disappointing to spend that much money only to end up wasting it on a steak I couldn't eat. I truly hope the restaurant takes another look at the quality of its Wagyu steak because it did not live up to its price.

    We've come to Norman, Oklahoma two years in a row for work, and we've eaten at Pub W both times…read more This visit was just as great as I remembered, if not better! Our service and meal were absolutely fantastic. I wish I could remember our server's name, but she took care of our group of about 12 in the back room and was on top of everything all night. She was so kind, patient, and willing to repeat things when needed, which is huge when you have that many people trying to get attention at once. She even thanked us for coming in, which was such a sweet touch. The food was amazing. She accidentally brought out an extra side of squash puppies and let us keep them, so I tried them even though I hadn't ordered them. Let me tell you, you HAVE to order them. They were absolutely divine, and the butter and jam they come with are incredible. I started with a salad, which was also very good, and then ordered the chicken bruschetta based on our server's recommendation. The Brussels sprouts were insane, so flavorful and easily one of my favorite parts of the meal. The bruschetta was delicious too, and I ended up eating almost all of it. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would recommend Pub W to anyone. The back room was the perfect spot for our large group and had such a fun, relaxed vibe. We'll definitely be back the next time work brings us to Norman!

    Service was incredible. Hat-tip to Emily E., she was on point…read more One problem we had was a large corner booth of 6, obviously over-served men were dropping F-Bombs, laughing and talking really loudly, in attempts to ensure that each respective story was heard. Okay in a bar, but not in a dining room with multiple children within earshot. Food was great, drinks on point and service stellar.
