    Tender Mac meal.
    Eduardo S.

    Great food all around! Place was nice and the staff were very welcoming. First time at the Restaurant, we wanted to try something we do not have around our home town and it didn't disappoint!

    No shaken tendies

    Asked for shaken tenders again and they didnt shake them in sauce. Pretty disappointed.

    Enclosed patio

    Since moving to NWA, Slim Chickens has become my go-to chicken place! Their chicken tenders are amazing, their wings are delicious, their fries are cooked to perfection and their Covid safety is on point! Today was the first day we have ate in the lobby of a SC in quite a while. This is because SC's has closed their lobbies when Covid cases have surged! This is a bold move, but one that surely says "we care more about our employees and customers than we do $$$". We have often grabbed takeout from SC's throughout the past few months, though. On my visit today, every single employee was masked and all of them were wearing their masks correctly. The restaurant is clean and they have employees constantly sanitizing tables as they empty! You definitely see the effort and it feels as safe as you can feel in this crazy Covid world. We chose to sit on the patio today, and SC's has patio heaters installed to make the temperature more comfortable. This patio is enclosed with garage style doors and it is mostly glass windows. This will be a great place for a quick meal in the spring! The food was great and prepared to the same consistent standards we are used to. I love that I can eat healthy at SC's. Their grilled chicken tenders are fantastic, but today I decided to grab some garlic Parmesan wings! Delicious. (If anyone from Slim Chickens reads this - please bring back the cayenne ranch dry rub for wings! Seriously the best wings I have ever had!) If I could make any suggestion to SC's, it would be these two things: 1. Frequently when grabbing drive through or curbside takeout at SC, we get home to find that the sauce has been forgotten. We now check before we leave the property. Sitting at SC's today, we saw employee have to grab forgotten sauces and drinks and run them back to out to customers. It would be great if some kind of quality check could occur before the employees run the orders. 2. When customers are sitting in the enclosed patio, don't open the garage doors to hand food to the drive through customers. The temperature immediately drops 15 degrees. This happened twice while we were sitting out there, and the temperature never recovered.

    Cayenne Ranch Chicken Sandwich Meal

    Supposed to be a cayenne ranch sandwich but has no fried onions and the lettuce is soggy. Beyond frustrating to not get the items on there that make it good! Fries had no seasoning either. Service is slow so that's not the reason for the mistake either...

    Slim's Salad with no tomatoes & grilled chicken
    Jordan A.

    I go to Slim Chickens almost once a week. I love that I know I am always going to get good food when I go there. I really like the Slim's Salad or the Chick's Plate & I get fried okra for my side. My kids love their Mac & cheese though. Two tips I have for eat at Slim Chickens are: 1. Kids eat free on Sunday's. 2. Download their app & scan every receipt so you can earn credit towards free food.

    8 wings combo with okra.
    Ebone' W.

    I stopped by this place because I wanted chicken and didn't feel like sitting at anything too too fancy one late evening after shopping. I ordered the 8 Wing combo with the side and drink. The parmesan bone-in wings were very very very good, and the sweet Thai Chili was just ok. I subbed okra for fries and the okra was actually a disappointment. Now I love okra, but this kind had absolutely too much breading, which completely turned me off, and it was not cooked hard enough as I requested. I think this is the first time I wish I would have got fries over okra...lol.. The lemonade was fresh and sweet and I was in and out the restaurant quickly, so that was a plus. Next time I won't get okra and Id try other flavor wings.

    Good wraps and wings. Kind of basic menu and the tenders can be a little dry. I like this place but i don't love it.

When I asked a simple question about what made the fries accompanying the ribeye "spicy," our server responded with a series of questions rather than a straightforward answer, including asking if I had issues with nightshades and what level of heat I tolerate on the Scoville scale. The interaction felt unnecessarily complicated and somewhat condescending. After checking with the kitchen, she said the fries could be made without the spice, so I ordered the dish. However, she then informed me that the ribeye itself had a chili rub, requiring another trip to the kitchen. While they ultimately said it could be prepared without the rub, I was told it would significantly delay the order. When the steak finally arrived, I was disappointed with the amount of fat on it, much more than the typical marbled ribeye. Overall, while the ambiance was enjoyable, the service created friction in what should have been a simple ordering process. A more direct and customer-friendly approach would have made a big difference. The F&B manager reached out to me through my Open Table information which I respected however, we don't plan on returning.

We got appetizers to split and they came out portioned into two separate bowls and plates. Really appreciated that! Complimentary corn bread and butter was good too. It's in the 21c hotel and has the fun green penguins randomly placed. Hotel guests pass through the hallway to get to the front desk but wasn't too distracting. Squash soup: 2 I don't know what happened, but mine was extremely salty. The other portion of squash soup was fine. We tasted each others and something went wrong with the salt. Gem lettuce salad: 3 Dressing was too acidic for both salad portions. Salmon: 5 Really good flavors. Well executed. Wagyu: 5 Really well done. Loved the flavors with the carrot and sweet potato puree.

To start the server was smoking and came in and started serving without washing their hands. Then on a friends plate they refused to do substitutions for allergies and instead said the best they could do is not put it on their plate. They still charged for the item that they removed. None of what was previously stated even led to this review. The worst part is that there was MOLD ON THE FOOD!!! Once this was brought up the only thing they said was "we can bring you another piece". They would not consider comping even a portion of that plate. Mind you no one asked for a refund or comp at this point other than for the single item that was moldy. Overall this ended with an employee asking why my friend ate the food if it was moldy. We explained that it wasn't found until after they had ate that portion of the plate and they didn't eat any after seeing it. They proceeded to mock us after. Overall just hope that this place gets things together and a safety inspection asap. I could never imagine going back to a place that cares so little about the customers experience and quality of food.

They were busy on a Wednesday evening, very popular place near the square, so I recommend reservations if coming during busy dinner hour. Overall, a 4.0+ for me, excellent food, friendly and attentive service and comfortable (had plenty of space) atmosphere and fun eatery, good place to take a group! Expect cost to be ~$10-20pp. My #1 item of the night was their Fried Mozz; freshly made and fried mozzarella balls served with warm marinara sauce - so tasty and plenty to share, but I could've eaten a plate by myself! Second, their wood-fired Edamame were excellent and tasty. I'm used to getting steamed edamame with salt, but these were wonderful with rosemary, lemon and sea salt! And third favorite were the house-made meatballs, served in a flavorful red sauce with parmesan and sourdough toast (a little overdone in my opinion). We also tried the Salt and Vinegar potatoes, very good and crunchy outside with a soft center. I was already so full of other apps but it was worth a try, although lots of choices if you don't prefer a potato item. Best news, I had a great experience and will want to return to try their well known PIZZAS...next time! Enjoy!!!
