Slim's Meal (tenders, fried okra, Texas toast)
Camarra B.

If you're looking for good, juicy, crispy chicken, Slim's got you covered! I have stopped by twice recently, and I know that I will keep coming back. I had a chicken club sandwich on one visit and tenders on the other visit. My food was so delicious and very fresh. They also have refreshing lemonade too.

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.

Slim Chicken's

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.

Chicken and waffles
Patricia S.

Slim Chickens is my FAVORITE fried chicken! It is always crispy and fresh with perfectly seasoned flavor. The chicken & waffles are great. I also enjoy the fried pickles! The jar desserts are very good. I love that they have cherry coke. They have lots of dipping sauces to choose from, and the ranch is delicious. The staff is very friendly and wait time is quick. You also earn rewards pretty easily and quick with the app.

See all

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

I absolutely love paying $12 for a 4 tender meal and only getting 2 tenders. Loved it so much I decided not to go back ever again.

I'm updating my review since the last time we've been here. Magnolia Table is still my favorite…read morerestaurant to visit whenever we're in Waco. The staff are always friendly and the food here is amazing!! We came back last Friday to celebrate my birthday. I was so happy to find out that they now take reservations using the Open Table app. It was super easy to use and I booked my reservation a few weeks prior to getting into Waco. We were greeted by the friendly hostess who seated us promptly since we had reservations. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and my husband ordered the farm breakfast. We ordered the kids breakfast for our 3 year old which came with pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon. We also ordered a side of biscuits with strawberry jam. We got our food hot and made fresh to order. The croissant sandwich was filling and delicious. The croissant was super fluffy and light. Everything was perfect!!! Our son told us that he loved his pancakes. Our waiter came by frequently to check on us and make sure everything was made to our liking. 10/10 recommend for their high quality service and food. We will be sure to continue to keep coming back again and again whenever we're in Waco.

Finally had the chance to try this spot and we weren't disappointed. A reservation is a must; even…read moreduring heavy rain, the crowd still gathered as expected. It's definitely a busy joint, not a chill, relaxed brunch spot. However the staff was prepared and service was super fast. It was impressive that our entire order was ready in less than 10 minutes. We loved our meal. The crunch French toast was fantastic, the flakes were a nice touch that stood out. The breakfast sandwich was fulfilling, I liked that the croissant was firm and flaky. Overall a solid spot. We'd come back if we're visiting Magnolia.

I've always appreciated the atmosphere and overall quality at Milo's--it's a place I've enjoyed…read morevisiting and recommending to others. That's why I was genuinely disappointed to find out that the chicken Caesar sandwich has been removed from the menu. It might seem like a small change, but for regular customers like me, that sandwich was a standout item and one of the main reasons I kept coming back. It had a great balance of flavor and felt like a reliable go-to every time. Taking it off the menu without a comparable replacement feels like a missed opportunity and, honestly, a bit frustrating. I completely understand that menus evolve and restaurants need to make changes, but it would mean a lot to see fan-favorite items like this either return or be replaced with something similar. Milo's still has a lot going for it, which is why this change stands out even more. Hoping this feedback is taken in the spirit it's intended--supportive, but coming from a very disappointed regular.

Had no wait time and found the service to be fast and…read morefriendly The appetizers jumped out to me as more interested than the main dishes, though some of the mains did sound good. In particular the deviled eggs and Brussels sprouts caught my eye, unfortunately the latter was sold out so I went with the sweet potato Both dishes I had were really good! The candied bacon paired really nicely with the creamy deviled egg, the hot sauce vinaigrette didn't add too much flavor, but honestly adding a significant amount of heat would've probably taken away from an already very tasty dish. The baked sweet potato on the other hand had a nice dose of heat from the Calabrian honey vinaigrette, the sweet heat combo worked really, I'm surprised I'd never come across a spicy sweet potato dish before, but I'll definitely have my eye out for it in the future Overall I had a very good experience and will definitely be back for future rest stop meals between Austin and Dallas!
