    Patio w lights and fans. To hot today to use but nice and clean.
    Chris J.

    I was very impressed. This was my first visit to slim chickens. The store was so clean. From other reviews I see it has been open about a year or so. The wings were far bigger in my opinion than others had rated them when they opened. I got the 3 wings and three tenders. My mom did as well and my dad got the four tender plate. They have a huge selection of sauces. The food came out fresh and hot. I got my wings tossed in Buffalo sauce and blue cheese and slim sauce on the side. The slim sauce is a peppery Mayo/ketchup based sauce. Very good. The fries were seasoned well so no need for salt or pepper. The Texas toast was good. There was a hint of garlic flavoring the bread. My mom ordered their signature dish of strawberry shortcake in the glass jar. It was very rich. I would like to try their grilled chicken strawberry salad w the vinaigrette and pecans. The whole crew was super. The cashier taking my order was very patient as I had a few questions being that it was our first time here. A few people checked in to see if we were well. Drinks are self serve I just had a soda but my dad enjoyed the peach tea and my mom the special lemonade. They also offered raspberry tea. All in all it was a great experience. I will go back. They had a patio but it was too hot when we went a bit over 90 to try that out. Very impressed here.

    Extra Crispy Fries.....WELL NO
    Marco C.

    So i wanted to try this place a couple months ago and was pleased with the tenders but the fries were soggy. So next visit i asked for well done fries so they would be crispy(i saw it on the ticket) so all good right? Well, they were extra well done alright, just not the fries but the tenders. Like jerky! Which leads me to today. Had to pick up something at and decided ill give them a try and explain the crispy well done fries. Repeated myself at the drive thru. There was even a guy taking payment outside. I told him about my problem with the crispy well done is NOT for the tenders but for the FRIES. He calls it in. I hear on his radio yeah got it. Feeling good now. Got to the window asked again crispy well done fries and it was assured to me. I get home and sit down at the table and GEEZ those tenders were dark and well done. The fries soggy. I just dont understand. Why this is even being served. How does this company think that status quo for fries is soggy? SMH. Its a real shame too since their tenders are really good... Side note you might be able to fool people in Oklahoma thats Texas toast. But when you serve a thin piece of toast the size of a slider here in Texas and call it Texas toast you should be ashamed!!! How dare you! The Diet Coke was ok.

    Crispy chicken sandwich
    Ronnie C.

    I was over by there and I noticed the line in the drive thru wasn't that long. I ordered a crispy chicken sandwich and 3 tenders. No meal or drinks. It was just under $10. And it took about 10 minutes to get the food. The food was hot. The tenders were a little tough and very thin. The seasoning was fair. Not much breading so I guess that's where they get there name. I got hot sauce with it and it was good and hot. The bun on the sandwich was soft and good but again the chicken was very thin and a little dry. Will I go back? Probably not. At least not go out of my way to return.

    I really wanted to like Slim Chickens, we even sat for 40 minutes in the wait line for our order. When we got back home and started distributing food, we realized only one of the orders was correct, and every bit of food we got was soggy and cold (we live about 8 minutes from Slim Chickens so the commute home was not the issue). The fries tasted stale, and the two wraps we had (which we didn't order) came with two nugget sized "tenders" each. I was so looking forward to the Korean BBQ classic meal and ended up with a wrap that I can't even describe the flavor of (most definitely NOT Korean BBQ). I'm giving them 2 stars simply because they're new and I hope they redeem themselves. But being completely honest the cold soggy chicken and stale fries left us very unsatisfied. You'd probably be much better off trying the new Hawk's chicken Waco location.

    Oreo Cheesecake Dessert
    Casey J.

    We were so excited to try this new chicken place and we were not let down! Love having so many options for those of us that don't just want tenders. The Buffalo ranch wrap was delicious and the Oreo Cheesecake dessert was a perfect ending to the meal! Can't wait to come again!

    Mummified chicken wings
    Hefe C.

    I wanted to give this place a try but turned out to be a major disappointment. These wings were sooooo dry. No good calling the restaurant because no one answers even after multiple failed attempts. Waste of money and way more better options for wings in the area. You'd think with as much business as they're doing these would have been edible at the least. No more for me.

    It's okay. Nothing fancy, just chicken fixed different ways and the fixings. Staff was good.

We liked the food so much that we stopped here on the way back from OK We got the fried shrimp basket and shrimp poboy the first time and got the Boom boom Shrimp starter, Atchafalaya Etoufee and, Gumbo and rounded it off with Beignets the second time on Mother's day. Food is absolutely delish. Not visiting this place should be a felony

    RATING - 3.65 Cajun…read moreCraft is found just off of one of the main roads that's runs along Waco. Off its first appearance, the restaurant appears as your classic no-frills, get-what-you-asked for establishment. There is lots of outdoor seating, very fair pricing, and a surprisingly extensive menu; I doubt you'll fail to find something you enjoy here. Overall it seemed like a location that would be bumping in conjunction with Baylor college nights, post church service, or otherwise Waco-oriented affairs. My only complaint was really the smell. We came near close when some workers were cleaning, however there was an apparent chemical stench within the patio, between the inside seating and outdoor seating. My partner ordered the sausage po boy, while I ordered the fried chicken plate, wish mashed potatoes & gravy + green beans. The wait was rather long, which can be attributed towards the chicken's cook time - which might be front scratch. After we got our plates, I certainly couldn't complain. The chicken was decently sized and decadent with flavor. Consistent, strong Cajun spicing littered the tray and chicken, while its interior was extremely juicy and filled with flavor; additionally, it still maintained structure and provided a nice crunch on the surface. The mashed potatoes were equally as enjoyable. The gravy complemented the potatoes well, and established an equilibrium through texture. The green beans however, were not my favorite. They initially appeared fine on the surface, but became watered down and lacking in flavor the farther down the bowl you went. I would not be surprised if these beans were canned. I would certainly find myself eating here again. Its biggest appeals are the prices, genuine quality of food, and disposition. It is not perfect, but it is more than satisfactory. If you cannot get over the minor inconveniences that you may run into here, then you probably shouldn't be eating Cajun anyways.

I reviewed BBD a year ago for the first time after their initial opening and gave them high marks. Like so many places, though, BBD has not maintained the quality of their grand opening. My wife's broccoli and cheese soup was obviously a mix with very little broccoli, very little cheese, and bland. The tomatoes on my house salad were bad probably old. The corn muffins we received were cold and dense and probably straight from the cooler. Our waitress brought our food then didn't come back until we flagged her down to get our check. She was covering about 5 tables and spent most of her time in the kitchen. A runner brought our food out. It seems that Black Bear is going through that inevitable drop in quality that comes with an inability to sustain continuity in their kitchen and wait staff. Hopefully they will work through this problem and return to the quality we are have come to expect over the last year.

Always get the meatloaf with mash potatoes & brown gravy & the green beans. The dish has always come with a side salad and corn bread. Last the meatloaf had 3 slices (use to get 4) and the potatoes was a child size portion. The plate was overloaded with the fried onions. The potatoes had no taste to them & the meatloaf used to be alittle more seasoned with great flavor. The food came fast. Asked the server about the salad & corn bread and apparently now you have to request what what you are already paying for. I usually always request the salad in a togo box at order for lunch the next day, but was distracted was my granddaughter was with us. Service was good.
