    Lunchtime!
    Jaymie-Lyn D.

    FIRST TIME VISIT! GETTING THERE: Another new eatery in the ever-growing community on Potranco/211. Was getting an oil change at the neighboring Midas and had two hours to kill and this girl can rock to a select playlist of 70's music but "It's raining men..." was not going down smoothly on a Saturday morning so I decided to take a short 45 second walk next door to Slim Chickens in hopes their music selection was more... palatable. As well as their chicken. THE DINING ROOM: Decent crowd considering it's a newer establishment to our area and tucked in a quieter spot of our growing neighborhood. The guests here look like regulars, families, one large group of guys who appear to be blue collar dudes taking a lunch break. The music is playing a bit loudly for my taste, but that's the vibe here, laid back, chicken n waffles, every flavor of dipping sauce and Sweet Home Alabama dancing through the air. 7 comfy booths, 2 partial booths (paired with chairs), 4 small tables with chairs that seat 4 each and one long high table at the center that seats 8. BONUS: They have a lovely, but uncovered patio outside that appears to be enclosed all around with waist-high rails. THE MENU: Hand-breaded all white meat chicken tenders - fried and crispy. They also have grilled chicken tenders, salads, fries, desserts in jars! HELLO?!?! Today I decide to go easy, after all my day has barely begun. I walk up to a kiosk and quickly place an order of the first few things that catch my eye- chicken n waffle combo with an upgraded drink to a hand-spun cookies n cream shake for an extra $2.49 charge. Despite being a relaxed early lunch hour, my food takes a bit longer than some others that came after I did, but I'm in no rush. The food runner who brings my food to my table apologizes for the wait and says to feel free to ask for assistance as necessary, but the workers do not seem to be present on the dining room floor, so even if did need anything, I'd have to head to the front counter anyway. No biggie becs I have all I need to dive in. Each table has a roll of paper towels and a bottle of Heinz ketchup. THE FOOD: Unlike most chicken n waffle places who serve thin, underwhelming waffle flaps, here you get a Belgian style waffle, thick and fluffy. 3 tenders and a large scoop of softened butter adorn the top of my Texas state shaped waffle and it is entirely covered with a thin-ish syrup to bring Miss Sweet and Master Savory together in the holiest of culinary matrimonies. It was delightful! The cookies n cream shake was fine. Thick, simple, not best tasting shake of its kind, but satisfying nonetheless. I love that they provide a thick boba-style straw (without the tapered and pointed end). Try this place out if you're in the area! Although a smidge similar to its neighboring Chick-Fil-A, I hope this place does well. Thank you for putting your faith in our up and coming community!

    Slim Chickens has arrived to the 211 and Potranco area near Red Bird Ranch at last! My commute to the Culebra one is finally over! Visited the Slim Chickens on New Years afternoon around 5:30pm beating the dinner rush and upon arriving your welcome to order via the kiosk or the friendly cashier who greeted us. I am no stranger to Slim Chickens however just to introduce you there's tenders, wings, salads, wraps and chicken sandwiches available. I ordered the 3 and 3 of which included the 3 tenders original (now available in spicy btw), and the 3 wings buffalo sauced. The wings were fried to perfection paired well with their signature ranch and the tenders went well with their sweet tangy honey mustard served with a bed of fries and buttery crisp toast made for a great meal! The inside it's new, fresh design, bright with patio or rustic lighting, red and white interior and a bit smaller than the neighboring location off Culebra. The employees were friendly and accommodating and the place was busy I'm glad to see the warm welcome Slim Chickens has in this neighborhood, and hope to see it succeed, I'll be sure to return!!!

    First time trying slim chickens and it def hit the spot. I need to come back to try everything else. I got a chicken wrap and my hubby got the chicken sandwich. I love how you could toss your chicken in a sauce and they have so many dipping to choose from. Self service, but the workers are friendly and attentive! Definitely making it a go to for a quick lunch. And it's FRESH!!! The cayenne ranch is my favorite!

    This visit was all about the matcha today : ) We were so…read moreexcited and could not wait to try! First of all it was kinda overwhelming lol so many options and choices Final decision ..... hubby ordered the maiko ube special and we ordered the soft serve ube/matchas on a cone. The maiko ube dessert had a little bit of everything, but he ate it so fast I couldn't even get a taste lol Looked like it had a bit of syrup, ube soft serve, pieces of matcha cake, and lychee. We really enjoyed the ube/matcha soft serve mix. Airy, smooth, and not overly sweet. Perfect light flavors. Would love to come back and try some of their matcha drinks! I'll be back

    Although I haven't tried Pelicana GO, what I can say is that I've heard great things about their…read morefood. What I have tried though, was Maiko's Matcha Latte, their ice cream, and their ramen hot dog. I came with a group of three... the other two got another matcha drink and as well as a potato hot dog. The unique thing about these hot dogs in the area is that they come in many varieties, and give you a choice of full mozzarella cheese or hot dog on the inside of it, or the choice of going half and half. Coming out of state, specifically from Arizona, it's not something I have seen. The staff, however, are quite friendly. The sauces that they serve with the hotdogs... pretty decent. Can be messy from how thin the sauce is, but the prices are somewhat decent. Better than average in food as well, not a bad place to stop by. I suggest you try. In a year or two, I will come back, and try Pelicana. Within good conscience, I can't rate it 5 stars due to the lack of a completed experience. Regardless... see for yourself. If you have coming just for Maiko, look on the side of the building. We had some trouble locating it initially, but regardless, not bad. The interior was big, enough for people to sit and eat at. There were also spaces to work if you wanted to.

Finger licking is almost impossible to avoid, even amongst coworkers. Seconds may be necessary. The mac and cheese, greens, and fries are incredible as well. Service is fast. Make it happen.

    After seeing the social media hype and the many awards my wife and I had to try Jerk Shack out…read more I tried the mixed chicken plate to see if it lived up to the hype. I'll start with the good: The jerk chicken was delicious. You can tell the chicken is marinated. It's fall off the bone tender. The jerk is super flavorful and warm without being too hot. I could bottle the jerk seasoning! The Mac and cheese was also great. The noodles weren't over cooked and it was creamy and flavorful. I also liked the interior. It was unique and artistic! The rest felt like a miss to me. After trying the jerk chicken I had high expectations for the fried chicken but was disappointed. The fried chicken was oily and lacked that "crunch" you want from good fried chicken. The batter wasn't very seasoned. Maybe that's just compared to the jerk but I was hoping for more. It also wasn't nearly as good texture wise. I tried the masala fries and was underwhelmed with them as well. Average extra crispy fries with some light seasoning. We also tried the Coco rolls. They were okay. Basically a yeast roll with sweetened butter. Not bad but pretty bland. Service was fairly friendly.

Ease of ordering: 0* They have a food truck, so I scanned the QR code, but it said I had to pick up on Potranco Rd. Their truck was at a different location this night so I didn't order online because I didn't want to have to go to potranco. I went up to the truck and made an order. I wanted garlic Parmesan wings, which is listed online but not on their truck menu. The girl taking my order didn't even know that had that flavor. Food: Minus 5*. Wings are fatty and chewy. The garlic flavor in the garlic Parmesan that I ordered was nonexistent. There was a couple sprinkles of Parmesan. Fries were actually not bad, good flavor but limp. Nuggets sucked and were undercooked, like how does this tiny nugget still be pink? Customer Service: 0* when I picked up my order, I asked for ranch. Dude said it's $1. I said really? He was like yup. Wtf bro? I just spent $12 for 6 wings and fries and gave a 20% tip of $2.60 (which why should you even get a tip when you are giving me any kind of service?) and you can't even give me 1 little thing of ranch? Any wing place I ever went to you get a dipping sauce. These guys? Nope. Wanna try to get every cent they can. Overall: DO NOT RECOMMEND. Beware it's high prices, undercooked chicken and bad customer service

    From the owner: We serve chicken tenders with a kick of spice with a side of kickin sauceread more

My aunt once brought home their fried chicken and I remember it tasting surprisingly good--most joys, it didn't have that heavy.reused-oil flavor that some place do. One weekday last month, just before Thanksgiving, I finally decided to give it a try myself. I was pleasantly surprised to see fried fish in the menu, which immediately caught my attention. I ordered the two-piece died fish meal to go. Right away, I was impressed by how clean and well-organized the restaurant was. The space was neat, inviting, and already decorated for Christmas. The tree was simple but charming--festive without feeling overdone. Customer service was excellent. Everyone I interacted with was warm, attentive, and welcoming, including the manager. I would have happily done in, but I was on a bit is a time crunch and needed to head home. Another big plus: the restaurant didn't smell like stale cooking oil at all. The ambience didn't feel cheap or rushed like many fast-food pls es. The decor was minimal but had a subtle Texas-inspired feel that worked well. Chicken Express has officially earned a spot only go-to list for both fried fish and fried chicken. I'm glad I finally gave this place a chance--and I'll definitely be back.
