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.

This place was great! We were looking for a place to eat near our hotel!…read more Food - we got the queso dip with chips, the sirloin and the chicken piccata- everything was delicious, and courses/paced really well. Staff- our host was lovely and sweet I wish I knew her name to shout her out (brown hair, light eyes). Our server was Preston. He was the perfect mix of extremely knowledgeable of menu, kind, personable/friendly, attentive, focused, and professional. Highly recommended:)

Charleston's has always been a go to restaurant for my family and me. Even when my kids were small…read morewe knew if we went to Charleston's we would always have a great meal. Well 98% of the time anyway. We all have our off nights. This time was no exception. The food was outstanding. The steaks were cooked to perfection. I had the 10oz filet medium rare. Perfect warm red center. My son-in-law had the plain ribeye no Hawaiian seasoning, baked potato and Caesar salad. His steak was also cooked to perfection. My garlic mashed potatoes and glazed carrots were delicious and perfect temperature. I can't say enough about their carrots! So everything seemed perfect right? Well almost..... The waitress Aiden and another waitress that was not mine were camped out at a table next to mine and seemed more interested in that table than the rest of their tables. I do not know how they knew this table but they must have been very interesting. I consider myself a generous tipper if the waitress does her job and I only tip in cash. Even though I felt that the waitress was "distracted " I still left her the industry standard 20%. It could have been more! Overall grade "A-". Again being a little generous. The food saved you this time!

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.

Great service and atmosphere. Food was uneven in terms of quality…read more My wife and I ate here for the first time with two other couples on a Saturday night. One couple lives in the Norman area and reserved our table. I was excited to try this Norman institution and enjoyed doing a little research in The Oklahoman archives ahead of time to find out more about its history. The dining room reminded me of Cheever's in OKC: close quarters, white background, plenty of extra items hanging everywhere, including wine glasses hanging from wooden racks attached to the ceiling. The menu reminded me of both Cheever's and Charleston's. It leans into a more sophisticated set of flavors, but they're not trying to rock the boat. The list of items on the menu is long enough that everyone in your party can find something that they would like to eat, but it's not overwhelmingly long like the one at the Cheesecake Factory. Another couple ordered the spinach artichoke dip for our table. I had a bite on one of the petite toasts that were served with it. Not bad, but it didn't have the background spiciness or discernible parmesan cheese flavor that I like to taste in spinach artichoke dip. Every entree comes with a salad, and I ordered the blue cheese wedge salad. On the positive side, the wedge of lettuce was icebox cold and crisp. The bits of bacon sprinkled on top added just the right amount of salty and meaty to the salad. On the other hand, their homemade blue cheese dressing did not have as much blue cheese in it as I expected. Not sure if their recipe involves so much mixing that the blue cheese chunks disappear in the process or if they started out with a blue cheese that doesn't break off into chunks. I prefer blue cheese dressing with tang, and this one didn't have it. My entree was one of the specials: miso-mushroom fried chicken thighs. I was enticed by the menu description which mentioned bone-in chicken thighs and local mushrooms in the sauce. I was disappointed that what came to my plate were two boneless chicken thighs. They were wrapped in a crunchy fried coating that I enjoyed, but boneless is not bone-in. The mushroom sauce was tasty, but it didn't match what I imagined in my head. I was expecting whole or halved mushrooms but received little bits of mushrooms. I respect their recipe. It still tasted good, but I would rather sink my teeth into mushrooms when they are called for. The accompanying squash medley was excellent; crisp tender squash added color to the plate and sang out the praises of summer vegetables. The accompanying sour cream mashed potatoes were silky and complemented the chicken well. For dessert, my wife and I tried the chocolate peanut butter pie. It was not what I expected based on past experiences with desserts that go by this name. Usually, this is a chocolate cookie crust with a light peanut butter pudding filling. What we received was a chocolate brownie crust topped with a layer of peanut butter frosting (confectioners sugar + peanut butter), a layer of chocolate syrup, and a few actual peanuts. The peanut butter frosting was much too sweet, there were not enough peanuts to create a crunchy counterpoint, and the chocolate brownie base was almost a crunchy counterpoint by itself because it was so dried out. It helped to eat bites of the pie with the vanilla ice cream next to it, but the manufacturer of this vanilla ice cream put barely any vanilla flavor in it. Our server kept our drink glasses full throughout the evening and answered our menu questions with honesty. Overall, I can see why Legend's has survived for nearly 60 years. I wish them all the best for many more decades as a leader in the Norman restaurant scene.

Part 8 - After watching Good Mythical Morning (GMM) with Rhett and Link as they did a blind taste…read moretest of chicken tenders. The tender taste test quest continues! Today I ordered the number 1 4pc Express Tenders for $7.39, which comes with fries, biscuit, and gravy. Let's talk about them tenders! Tenders: Moistness - 10 Seasoning - 9 Crunch - 11* Overall - 10 The crunch was out of this world! Two tenders were slightly under seasoned but the other two were perfect, so I had to dock a point for that but based on the two that were seasoned - they were seasoned perfectly and the gravy only enhanced the flavors. The tips of the tenders had a nice light crispy golden coating that has put everyone to shame. They were hot and juicy and delicious. I'm in tender heaven! The crunch was on a different level. They broke my scale and I'm totally okay with that. The fries were light and crispy and tasted like mashed potatoes when you dipped them in gravy. It was so awesome. Perfectly seasoned. The biscuit was a bonus (you basically get an order of biscuits and gravy with your chicken) and it was dang good. Light, buttery, fluffy, crispy crusty, and not dry at all. The gravy was great! Not floury, not uncooked milky but seasoned well balanced between pepper and salt and perfect for the tenders This place should be packed if they can keep it consistently good like this and I hope they do because I will be back!
