Slim Chickens

While I won’t say it was life changing chicken, it was rediculously great chicken! We decided it was our new only chicken place!

Since we don’t have one of these where we are from, we decided to give it a try. I was very disappointed with the overall taste of the food. The food was freshly cooked, but needed some serious seasoning help. The customer service was good. For my money I would rather have Zaxby’s.

Nice clean and new. Good quality chicken is served. They have a roomy dining room as well. They offer excellent grilled chicken as well. They have a good variety of sides to go with their meals as well

«Life changing chicken” — Slim Chickens does indeed live up to its motto. To be fair though, you need to visit Slim Chickens’ first Louisiana location in West Monroe to see what all the commotion is about! You can choose to use the drive-​thru or dine-​in. Their daily hours of operation are 10:30am-11:00pm.
In 2003, Slim Chickens first opened in Fayetteville, AR. This casual, fast-​food eatery is setting the precedence for delivering fresh, quality food along with exceptional customer service. Currently, there are over 25 locations, with a vision for growth and expansion to 600 locations over the next decade.
As soon as you make your way inside, the enthusiastic staff are very welcoming and happy to help take your order. The spacious, brightly lit dining area provides ample room for groups of any size. Plenty of TVs are situated around the dining room for everyone to watch. There is also an outdoor patio available for dining. We went on a Wed night and both the drive-​thru and dining area were buzzing like busy bees, which was to be expected during the first week of opening. Despite the hustle and bustle, you’ll encounter Southern hospitality at every corner, from beginning to end. It took about 10 mins for the food to come out hot and fresh, ready to be devoured! I have to give major kudos to the management team for properly training staff on delivering excellent customer service. Many fast food establishments sometimes lose sight of customer service and I hope they continue to reinforce and uphold great service through the years.
Surprisingly, Slim Chickens offers variety of options, no matter how small or big your appetite. I’ve posted their menu here for reference. The chicken here is fresh and made to order. The chicken tenders come hand-​breaded or grilled, with your choice of 10 various dipping sauces (Slim sauce, gravy, ranch, cayenne ranch, blue cheese, BBQ, spicy BBQ, sweet & sour, honey mustard, mango habanero). The Buffalo wings are not breaded and come in 9 different flavors (mild, medium, hot, inferno, sweet & sour, teriyaki, honey BBQ, spicy BBQ, mango habanero). Tender and wing combos come with Texas toast, fries, and a medium drink, but fries can be swapped out for another side item. (A word of caution on the Texas toast, which is more like toasted regular sandwich bread with garlic butter). Side items include fried okra/​mushroom/​pickles, mac & cheese, coleslaw, potato salad, and carrots & celery. The mushrooms were juicy and fried to perfection– get them! Other menu options include chicken & waffles, salads and wraps. And we save the best for last– dessert! Dessert selections vary daily for Mason jar desserts, fried pie, or chocolate chip cookies. After reading the entire menu, I couldn’t help but plan my next visit to try the chicken & waffles and dessert, which I am told is life-​changing as well!
Move over Raising Canes, you’ve got some serious competition from Slim Chickens! Slim Chickens offers more menu variety than its competitors, which puts them ahead in the fast food arena. As a new addition, I can definitely see potential for rapid growth and success for Slim Chickens. Be the judge and come visit Slim Chickens for your next life changing meal.
