    Pretty decent no frills burgers. Unlike typical fast food places, the burger and fries didnt feel greasy at all. The patty was well seasoned and crisp on the edges. I really liked the buns they used, it was more buttery than other places which added to the flavor. The hand cut fries were good too and werent soggy at all. I had to deduct 1 star due to the price. Its $9.50 alone for the burger, $1.50 more for cheese, and $4 more to add drinks/fries.

    It's nice that they allow dogs on their patio. Food was great we just had to wait about 30 minutes for our food.

    Fried chicken sandwich

    Juicy, greasy, delicious bar food. Slick's is a laid-back spot with some goooooood food. Service was quick and friendly on a Saturday night, and it wasn't very busy inside around 8 PM. Our group of 4 ordered at the counter and sat down to a table as soon as we walked in. They have a decent beer selection and they seem to have a lot of other fun drinks (I'd like to try their frozen drinks in the summer!). The real highlight was the fried pickles appetizer - those pickles were double fried to perfection. Additionally, the fried chicken sandwich was sooo tasty. I couldn't finish it all, so it made for some great leftovers.

    The burgers are big and delicious - so many different add-on options. The spicy fries were the best with the blue cheese. The decor/atmosphere was great, felt like an old diner done up! We sat outside and Jackson lit a fire for us. He was so helpful and seemed to love being there. Absolutely coming up!

    Excellent chili

    I was originally going to State of Confusion next door but it looked too crowded for me on this particular occasion. So I walked into Slick's which had one couple at the bar. And it was an excellent audible call. I ordered a make your own burger with fried egg, fig chutney, chevre (goat cheese), and balsamic reduction. Also ordered a cup of chili and some crispy brussel sprouts. The burger was a flavor explosion - juicy, savory, and sweet. The chili was a bit spicy with that homemade taste - reminded me of my mom's chili. It was also a pretty good sized bowl for the cup order. Lastly the brussel sprouts were quite crispy with a ton of flavor from whatever meat it was cooked with as well as flavor from the sauce. If brussel sprouts were this good always, kids would be eating them for dessert. What caught me off guard was two things. The quality of all of the dishes. And the quantity of the brussel sprouts (starter) and cup of chili (definitely a normal bowl size). So much flavor in everything. Lastly, the inside is a pretty cool setup. The kitchen is set up inside of an old diner train car thingy. All that being said, it was well worth the visit - don't let the lack of a crowd deter you from coming here or trying any place.

    For a burger place they sure have a lot of other options! Proteins include beef, lamb, Turkey, veggie and chicken. Sandwiches like Reuben, gyros and hot chicken Sammie. Fish and chips, mac and cheese balls, baked beans , wedge salad , wraps and kids specials . And mor Burgers come in different sizes from baby to slick. Slick sides including fries, side salad, potato salad and coleslaw. I got the buffalo chicken salad and loved it! Chicken is plump a Watch out it is spicy but the coleslaw cools it down nicely! The fries are divine! Get a side of cheese whiz and then they are over the top fabulous. Loud music plays and people are be bopping in their seats. Some evenings a live band plays outside in the covered patio. Inside bar seating too. Beer taps , some wine and fountain drinks. Super fun place for the entire family! The burgers are really good and served on Chattanoogas Neidlov bun.... Yum! Prices are family friendly. Close to the Choo Choo so you know there is parking.

    We ordered a variety of smash burgers and each of their fry options! The fries were so good and big portions. The burgers have smash burger taste in a thicker patty. We all devoured the burgers when we got home. There was a bit of a mix up with to-go bags and they had to remake ours but we felt they went above and beyond to make up for the extended wait time and frustrations.

    We were in town visiting the Tennessee Aquarium and wanted to try a local restaurant. Slick's is a cute, restaurant in a nice garage type building. There's an option to dine inside or outside. Parking is across the street. My family and I had the burgers which were very good. We started with the brussel sprouts and they were interesting and different from what I'm used to. They weren't bad but different. Burgers were great. The only reason they are receiving 4 stars is because we weren't greeted when we came in. We walked in and sat down and waited for a server while looking at the menu (which is hanging above the counter). After staring at the menu for about 5/6 minutes, us and a party of 6 finally realized we had to place our order at the counter. It just would've been nice for a staff member to let us know we needed to come up to order. The menu is pretty busy so it's very easy to miss the order here on the menu.

    We wanted to try out a new place today so we took to yelp looking for somewhere that had a good burger in the Chattanooga area. We had actually settled for "Main Street meats" so we headed that way and found a parking place in front of that establishment When we arrived my wife suggested we ate at the place next door (slicks) because they had more burger choices When we went in there was two tables already waiting for food and a few people setting at the bar. You walk to the back of the resturant to order. When we were about at the register we were told "hold on a minute and we will get your order". A few minutes went by and someone finally came up and took our order. I had a slick burger (7oz) and my wife had the sissy burger (4oz) both combos with fries and a drink. That came out to about $36 with a 15% tip So after putting our order in we fix our drinks and sit there probably close to 45 minutes till our food shows up. I guess I could see that if the place was busy but it clearly wasn't. I can overlook the slow process of getting our food but the thing that bothered me was my wife's burger was clearly cooked to what I would call rare. After waiting 45 minutes she said it was fine and she was gonna go ahead and eat it. My burger was what I would have called well done. Not sure how they cooked two burgers on the same order at two totally different temps but whatever. So I had ate the majority of mine but I noticed my wife had stopped eating hers and I asked if it was just too undercooked to eat. She said no that's not it. She said there's a long hair running through her patty (I assume from when whoever had made it due to it being in the inside) Anyway, I've never been one to get a free meal that I've already been eating on but I wanted to bring up the situation to the people working there so I walked the burger up to the bar and explained the undercooked burger and the hair in it. To be fair they offered to cook another one or some ice cream in its place but by that time it's safe to say everyone's appetite was gone. I'm not saying to not give this place a try but I did want anyone considering it to know my experience.

    Slick's Burders .... What more can I say ? Beatuiful service, a variety of options, plenty of dietary substitutions (vegans & Ketos.. talkin to you ), excellent music (rthink 90s r&B, hip hop, and Shania Twain ), and elaborate decor.... Checks all my boxes. My only complaint was there was no sesame seeds on the buns.:..... I can bring my own next time. Will recommend !

    Fantastic! I came through Chattanooga for work this week. Made it out to several restaurants for lunch and dinners, but only Slick's did I go to twice. My first visit I got the "slick burger" combo meal, sitting around $20. The fries were nice and crispy and the burger delicious (but the bun was sort of tiny?). My second visit I got the "black jack" chicken sandwich. with bacon. 10/10 would recommend. There is a nice, large patio out back. Didn't get to sit out there though sadly. :( The service was kind and quick! I really enjoyed my visits. May need to come back to sit at the bar and try the beer menu.

    We stopped here first when arriving in Chattanooga. It came highly recommended by a friend. We were greeted immediately upon entering, and the atmosphere was very inviting. Their local TN beers are excellent, cannot go wrong. We had an appetizer of Brussel Sprouts and shared a 7oz Mushroom Swiss burger. The burgers are not over sized like many other places and just hit the spot. Very flavorful and cooked perfectly for Medium. We will definitely come back.

    Tried out based on recommendation for being kid friendly. We have 3 kids and decided to dine outside. There were several other families there as well. Very laid back with kids up and down during our wait for food. The guy at the counter helped us order. Most of us had burgers and my son ordered chicken tenders. The chicken tenders are huge. We also ordered what turned out to be some of the best fried pickles that I have ever had. Warning. The sauce was very spicy so ask for ranch unless you can handle the heat. Parking - there is parking in the rear of the restaurant. Also behind the restaurant is a cool bar/dog park. Kids can't go in but we had fun checking out all of the dogs before and after dinner.

    Is there parking?

    When we went, we walked over from a local store so I don't remember seeing a lot dedicated to Slick's. There is plenty of street parking though.

Everything about this experience was top-notch! From being seated quickly upon entering, to explaining how the ticket validation thing worked (more info at the end), customer service was some of the best I've been shown. The ambiance is chic but casual-great for both cozy date night or fun family night. Our server was so friendly and patient as we asked questions about the menu. I ordered the grilled salmon with spicy crab remoulade and my guy ordered the smoked wings with a side of fries. I was happy that I was able to select my own sides from the ones on the menu so I opted for the fried Brussels sprouts with maple and bacon and the buttermilk whipped potatoes. After a short wait, our food was brought out. This was truly one of the best salmon dishes I have ever eaten! The salmon was cooked to my liking, the potatoes were soft and fluffy and the fried Brussels sprouts were absolutely divine and perfect. The remoulade was a little salty but it may have been just been my taste. The potatoes helped with that so it was not a deal breaker. My guy was pleased with his food as well and I could tell he enjoyed everything he ate. We agreed that we would take this trip back just to eat this meal again. It was truly a wonderful experience, from beginning to end. I highly recommend trying this gem out! Pro Tip: The restaurant validates parking. If you park in the lot across the street, do not prepay on the app or online. Ask the servers at the front to validate to save the $18 parking fee before you order and within 15 minutes after entering. Unfortunately, we didn't do this and the restaurant cannot reimburse the money after you've already paid. You've been warned!

We ordered the Asian q burger and the mushroom melt burger and it took quite a while for them to come out and when they did they had unfortunately been left on the grill for way too long and were charred and crunchy. One set of our fries was cold and the bun to burger ratio was extremely off. Luckily, the staff agreed that our burgers were accidentally overcooked and they remade them no questions asked. The remade burgers were moist and better but still not fantastic. They were just burgers with minimal toppings on them. Not really seasoned and the flavor came from the toppings themselves. The buns were still too big for the burgers so there was a lot of extra bread and they have potential to be great but they were just average. Would have probably been a three star review but the staff and drink selection really earned the extra star. Would go back to drink and maybe snack but probably not order a burger.
