Meh. Glad I finally tried it, but a little disappointed I passed up the Chick-fil-A in the same shopping center for the new try. CfA is always a sure bet. Immediately when I entered, an employee (who seemed to be the manager judging by her blue polo verses the black polos everyone else was wearing) was on the phone (SPEAKER PHONE, that is) talking very loudly with what seemed to be another coworker about a mystery shopper who had been in the store. A mystery or secret shopper is a type of market research that uses a shopper to act as a true customer to evaluate the customer experience in-person, over the phone, or online. She was telling the other person she couldn't believe the mystery shopper was real and said she looked like a regular person THEN went onto to say the shopper looked like a low life. I am seriously surprised the woman didn't catch my looks of disapproval and annoyance. Talk about terrible customer service and not handling things professionally! I ordered my meal with another associate and made my way to the drink counter. They have sweet tea and lemonade. Mixed them both together and made myself an Arnold Palmer - which was pretty good. The blue polo shirt speaker phone lady was still going on but this time something about bonuses for her employees. She finally hung up as I was getting seated. My tenders meal arrived to my table in a timely fashion. The tenders were piping hot. I could tell they were "made to order" as their murals indicate. I chose ranch, garlic parmesan and gravy for my dips. The ranch was very good. Nice and cold plus full of creamy flavor. The garlic parmesan was like cold lemon herb sauce which was terrible. The gravy was lumpy and had no flavor, even after I added black pepper. The tenders themselves were pretty good. The coating is minimal, so they weren't greasy. The Texas toast was bland, and the fries were basic. Not impressed with the meal at all. 3 stars is more than I should give. As I am sitting there trying to make the meal the best I could, blue polo shirt speaker phone lady came back out to help a customer who walked into order. Mid order, she took her lip balm out of her pocket and applied it liberally to her lips then completed the order. I was floored. I can't understand how this woman is a manager. That is so bad to do in front of customers. She just though a mystery shopper was bad. Does she have any idea about reviewers who reach a bigger audience?! This is when I wish I wasn't such an observant person. Speaking of observant. I noticed the only car in the parking lot close to the store never moved while I was dining. I was the only person in the store until the man walked in 20 minutes after me. I saw him park near me in the extended area parking. With that said, who was parked there? An employee?? Those spaces should be saved for customers. That's customer service 101. All in all, I am being generous with my 3 stars. Will not return.

I honestly like this place more than I do. I love the many different options for dipping sauce! I will definitely come back here again in the future.

Don't shoot the messenger, but I prefer Slims to Canes, except there aren't as many locations. The chicken is just as juicy and crispy but they have way more selection of sauces to choose from. You can even have the tenders sauced when you order. This location was very clean and the staff were extra friendly and helpful.

I got hungry after seeing my acupuncture doctor. Right before I hopped on the road, I saw a new restaurant. I remember before Slim Chickens was Carl's Jr. After CoVid pandemic, this building was boarded up until last year. Once I saw the new sign, I knew it's gonna be something good.Location is not just everything, but the food offer and variety are also big parts of a successful restauranteur. I know Slim is not reference to a figure but a person's nickname. Because it offers southern comfort food.I was reading the menu from the QR code that I scanned in the parking lot. I thought I still need to interact with the human, I'll just ask for a recommendation. Cashier was really friendly and knowledgeable. She read my mind on Waffle and Chicken.I'm newbie to this dish. I never knew what's the proper way to eat this. I started eating chicken, then eat the waffle with butter and syrup. The chicken strips were so tender and fresh. Waffle was soft - perfect for my old man's bites.I wasn't paying too much attention to my food because I found some interesting reviews on Yelp. Oh, the ice teas were made with freshly brewed tea. I tasted when they were lukewarm. The sweet tea was real Southern tea. Yeah, I'll be back for the sandwich.

BJ took care of us today and a couple days ago when we came for the first time, and she was absolutely amazing!! Best chicken sandwich I have ever had, and the dessert in a jar is absolutely to die for! It's so good we came twice this week already and may go a third! Thank you for such amazing service and food!

I just got home from ordering some Slim Chickens and first impressions are they are incompetent. I ordered the tender and Mac meal for my kid and they left off the chicken tenders. I mean, there were only two customers, me and the car in front of us, and they STILL messed up the order. Fries are below average. The wife is liking the mushrooms though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. The wings taste like they were boiled in water and flash fried (which is not good). LOL. AND my little girl just yelled out that "CANE'S IS BETTER!" Flavor of the garlic parm wings is ok. The two drinks I got are all ice. Will I return? No. Absolutely not. Am I regretting spending my money here? Yes, 100% yes. I still can't believe how bad the chicken and fries are at a chicken place.

I had the Buffalo wings. It came with fries and toast. The food was fine and the service exceptional as it was my first time at Slim Chicken and they went over the menu with me. I cant say it's better than Buffalo Wild Wings and the hot food made the toast soggy in the container--maybe that's suppose to be that way. If I'm in the area, I'd go back.

Oh the chicken, what a delicious bird! As Katt Williams once said the pure existence of the chicken is just proof that God loves you! I couldn't agree more. In the heart of Westheimer, Slim Chickens, the fast food chain, is here to bring you all types of items with God's most delicious bird. This includes bowls, burgers, sandwiches, wraps and chicken strips. I've been to the Katy location, and had a delicious experience, so expected nothing less here. The staff was descent, just a bunch of teens working the front, typical of many fast food joints. For the most part, the restaurant also seems pretty clean and is spacious on the inside. Typically, my go-to at Slim Chickens is one of those delicious Chicken Mac & Cheese Bowls (whenever they are in season), however this time we decided to go for something different. We went for a Club Sandwich with fries, the Smokey Wrap with fried chicken tenders (you have the option of choosing fried or grilled), fountain drinks, and some world famous Strawberry Cheesecake in a mason jar. All was absolutely delicious, as God would have intended. This place can even give Chick-Fil-A a run for their money. They have a wide array of fountain drinks as well, and delicious sweet tea to chose from. Their desserts are well recognized, and served in a neat mason jar with the slim chicken logo on it (a sharply dressed chicken, ready to serve you the best). Its always a good time here, a must, and all at a good price as well!
