Good food, terrible customer service. Just now It took them 15 minutes take the order of the person in front of me meanwhile 5 people were able to place their order at the other drive thru line. I've also been the only person the drive thru placed my order, paid for it and then waited 20 minutes for an order of fried pickles. When I asked the person working the window why it took so long they replied, "They're slow back there". Again good food, but not good enough to deal with the appalling lack of customer service. read more

One of my homies that follow me asked me if I've been to this place yet. I let them know that I was going. Simultaneously I saw another review of this same spot, and it peaked my interest. So I had to go see what was up with @slimchickens on 10200 Martin Luther King Hwy., in Bowie M.D. Just to let you know, this spot is not affiliated with Big Schlim by no means!! So they have chicken wings, boneless chicken, chicken sandwiches, chicken wraps, salads with chicken in it, grilled chicken, they even have chicken and waffles...one thing for sure is that this establishment has chicken!! So let's get into it. I copped their Chicken club sandwich (pictured-Fried chicken breast, with crispy bacon, Monterey Jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ranch mayo on a brioche bun $6), and their 3 & 3 meal (pictured- with 3 fried tenders, 3 wings shaken in Korean bbq sauce, fried pickles, and Texas toast $11.49). Now this meal came with two of their dipping sauces, so I chose the Slim sauce, cayenne ranch sauce, and I got an extra cup of gravy to try out. I also picked up an extra side of mac n cheese (pictured-$2.79), and a Strawberry cheesecake jar desert (pictured-$6). The chicken sandwich was decent, but much better when dipped into the slim sauce. The chicken tenders were decent m, but, again much better when I dipped into the slim sauce and/or the cayenne ranch. The gravy was a tad bit too watery for me, it was decent but if it was thicker I would've stamped it. Now the chicken wings were absolutely delicious! They were fried hard just like I like it and then shandn in that Korean BBQ, made them outright tasty!! The fried pickles I passed on because they were too salty. The mac & cheese... was decent too. Not the best I've had, and a far cry from the worst. Now that Strawberry cheesecake jar desert!?!? STAMP!! That joint was really good!! I'd get it again. Online ordering was simple, and easy. Now when I went to go pick up my order nobody greeted me in my first experience in a new store, I had to figure out where to pick up my order, and when I did get it, there were no napkins, utensils, nor the sauces I ordered in the bag. Parking was ample. That's it. #bigschlimsreviews read more

See all

Good fresh chicken. Got the Cajun sandwich. Don't the let the name fool you. It's not spicy at all. The fries came out pipping hot. Overall a great experience. Next time I'm in the Maryland area I'll pay them a visit read more

This place is a hidden gem! Thankfully not TOO many are hip to it yet. Each time I've gone the food has been absolutely fresh and flavorful. The customer service by the young employees is impeccable as well! Slim Chickens gets TWO thumbs up from me! (They would get 5 stars but it's only one location so far) read more

Ordered a salad and it was pretty good. Took my kids here today and they all thought it was great. The place has 17 different sauces to choose from, which was a plus for sauce fanatics. My kids ordered the cheesecake desserts and loved it. I would come back here as the service was pretty good and the food was a thumbs up from my teenagers and young clods. read more

If you love Raising Canes and Zaxbys try Slim Chickens. Everything was perfectly seasoned and the sweet tea was blended just right!

The service here was excellent, even during a crowded period they got my large order to me quickly. The chicken and waffles were good and I loved the cheesecake mug... read more

Good Chicken, TERRIBLE SERVICE. I've been there at least 10 times and EVERY time my order was incorrect. They need to invest in training their staff. read more

Had to try this new spot and I'll tell you for a place that specializes in wings I was sorely disappointed. The wings were not seasoned even a little bit. I got half regular and half Buffalo...very little sauce and not spicy at all as someone else mentioned. The chicken and waffles were good as was the Buffalo Ranch Chicken sandwich was delicious. I may try them again but they have to do better with the wings! read more

Tried Slim Chickens for first time & likely last time. Positive 1st...the staff, mostly young people were pleasant. The ice was really good, for real! Now on to the next... they say chicken made to order, I can't tell. It was dry like it was re-fried from previous day and not even hot, Luke warm at best. The fries were cold. Mind you the drive thru line took way too long. One of the staff said we were there close to opening (11:30am) they open at 10:30am and that was possibly the reason for delay. She explained that they clean & sanitize each morning before opening and then begin making fresh food. That's not true based on order I received, not fresh or hot. My co-worker ordered salad with grilled chicken & potato salad. He said salad was good but croutons were stale & potato salad was not good, couldn't finish eating the small scoop they gave him. I wanted to try chicken & waffle on my next visit before I ate my meal today. I will not go back for that & get disappointed. I know its new business, I hope they figure out how to improve wait time & food quality or it won't last. read more

Slim Chickens - 6pc chicken, fries, Texas toast, sweet chili sauce on side. - Southern Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

The food is good. The fried pickles are seasoned well. The chicken was fresh and everything was hot. The issue with this establishment is that it is chaotic and not efficient in service. I waited 40 minutes for a curbside order that I placed online. As I sat, I noticed the drive-thru moving EXCEPTIONALLY slow. The line literally stalled about ten minutes between every car. Simultaneously, the staff was running drink orders out to cars randomly while they waited on their food. AND they would walk drive-thru orders out to vehicles out of order; so at any given time, car #4 or car #5 would get their food and drive off. It was one of the most poorly managed drive-thrus I've ever seen. Again, the food is good but the wait time, within itself, is a strong deterrent. read more

Food is good enough. It's open til 10 on Sundays. Service is terrible & SUUUUUPER SLOW! When I finally got my food my fries were cold. And they make you pay extra for sauce. Don't waste your time. Mon thru Sat, go across the street to Chick-fil-A read more

My first time trying this service, the line was long but moved along at a reasonable pace. There were many severs (the most I've ever seen at any fast food restaurant). Ordered 3 meals; 2 classic meals and 1 chick's meal and I asked for a receipt since I paid with my credit card (I always like to see what's been charged to my card.) My server told me I would receive one on the bag. I also asked that the meals be placed in separate bags, as I would be dropping of the kids in the vehicle separately. I was told yes. Firstly, the 3 drinks were brought out with only 1 straw. I saw another server coming out and mentioned it to him, he gave me the one in his hand and went back in to replace (he was bring out a drink also), but did not bring me a third. I had to ask 2 other servers before I received the third straw, at the window by this time. Secondly when we received the meals, they were all in one bag, so I had to request 2 addition bags. Thirdly after we drove away one of the girls who ordered the classic meal said that there were only 3 tenders in her box, the other checked hers and found the same. So all 3 meals only had 3 tenders each, even though I paid for 2 classics. Then the receipt attached to the bag only listed what was purchased but had no cash value amount or total information at all. In fact the "receipt" had no restaurant information on it. I had to google the restaurant to get the phone number. Needless to say I will not be going back. Not sure my location says California, but referring to the fairly new location in Bowie, MD read more

The Food Must Be Good Cause I'm Here Almost Every Other Weekend Ordering The Same Thing 5 Piece Tenders Meal And With Dessert in a Jar...The Korean BBQ Sauce Bomb if You Like a Little Kick of Spicy read more

I had a super last minute order. I mean super last minute, I spoke with the manager and she wasn't sure she could get the order in time. Mind you it was a catering order. It wasn't a crazy large order but it was last minute. Catering orders are supposed to be at least 24 in advance. The staff was able to get my order done within the hour. The staff was professional and was willing to go the extra mile. I order at slim chicken often and appreciate the service and the delicious food. Thank you, you are appreciated! Thanks Daniel for all you do as well read more

So here's the deal with this place, If you want the best experience get here early. I'm talking like 11:30 or 12. Then omg get your lazy tail out the car and actually walk inside (unimaginable right). That's what i did to get my Cayenne Ranch Chicken Sandwich Meal. My sandwich was fresh hot and juicy. The fries was also fresh and hot. I had the peach tea i believe it was, that too was great, If you want to spend all day in your car , then receive cold food, missing items, and chaos then go there.....basically any other time lol. Don't forget to bring coloring books for the kids read more

I wanted to love this place because I kept hearing great things about it. We don't live far from one so I went online to place a order for pickup. I ordered, was ready to pay and then the site asked if I wanted to create a user account, as I do that, the site flashes back and says something went wrong please try again. I looked in my user account to see my most recent order and nothing was there. I checked my bank account to see if there was a charge, there was none. There was no indication on the site that the order went through and I received no email. So I started again, placed my order, clicked the button, again put in my credit card number and placed the order. As my son drives to pick up the order, I receive two emails that show I have two emails, with confirmation of orders - almost identical! I called my son and tell him to go inside the restaurant and tell them that the site charged me twice and that I wanted a refund for one of the orders, and I didn't want the second order (the totals were about ten cents different). My son returns home and tells me that they said no, even though my son tells them what happened with the site. They tell him that they give no refunds, now mind you, I only wanted one of the orders, but they said to him how could they be sure it was the site. Now why would I lie about that and it wasn't like I wanted all my money back, I just wanted the credit for one of the orders. They said no refunds, so they gave me both orders. I will never eat or order from any Slim Chickens again, not that my refusal would make a difference to their bottom line. This is bad customer service, and it was the fault of the site, not me, I wasn't trying to get over on anyone or get a free meal. I just wanted a refund for a duplicate order that wasn't my fault. I was going to refute the charge and have my bank decline the charge, but Slim Chickens did give me the other order (which is how they win), and again I wasn't trying to get something for nothing, and I didn't want to lie to my bank. So they beat me, I was angry and still am, and also disappointed because it wasn't my fault and again, I wasn't asking for anything free. I will stick with Kentucky Fried Chicken or Bojangles, places I know. read more

The tenders were super salty, Mac & cheese did not have any flavor and they did not give us what we ordered.

I tried this location for the first time around lunchtime today and I gotta tell you the food was really good. The menu is unique because it's gives you options that aren't easy to find in fast food places in my area. Definitely recommend that you check it out read more

Have been to this locations twice and haven't been disappointed. Both times the service was excellent and the food was great!

The chicken sandwich was horrible and the fries were to salty. I will not go back. Chicken Club

Interesting .. .. felt like I got rob. Food not seasoned .. no flavor ..plain chicken tenders and wings rely on the sauce which are sub par. Don't compare to Chick-fil-A.. not in its league. Staff is nice but orders all over the place and pls check your order. Atmosphere nice setting , place busy maybe reason for the subpar food. read more

I was not impressed at all. We waited in the drive-through line for about 30-40 mins For mediocre chicken tenders. I'm not sure if it's worth giving it a second try read more

Nice food and atmosphere. I go here often although this is the first time I've had issues with them. I ordered a slims meal and they forgot my Texas toast and gave me spoiled ranch which took me by surprise. Sometimes the service is kinda slow but good overall. read more

The line is long which almost deterred me but I was pretty keen to find out what the hype was all about. The chicken sandwich did not disappoint. It was hot, juicy and just the right kind of spicy. The food and service were worth the wait. I'll certainly go back again. The place is new and the outside servers aren't quite well versed yet but the service was friendly and the servers are eager to please. read more

We waited 15 minutes for mac n cheese and tenders while seeing the drive through completely clear out. To my disappointment the slices of bread I'm the box were completely burnt and somehow soggy too. On top of that, my order completely missed the mac n cheese and replaced it with fries. Those fries were soggy too. I'm sad because the first time I went to Slim Chickens the food was amazing, but now I am pensive to go back. read more

The chicken sandwich are the best .. The lines are long but worth the wait The desserts jars are delicious read more

Love their food! Staff is so friendly and really take ownership of the restaurant as if they are partners. There are so many different flavor options for you tenders, their fried pickles ans fried mushrooms are so good. Randomly, their salad is so fresh and their Oreo dessert in a jar is ridiculous read more

I had to try this new spot after seeing the long lines but I should've kept driving. Still waiting for the seasoning to be added to the wings. Maybe the others ordered something different because the 8 PC wing meal was a MISS for me.... Now, I will say the Oreo Shake was actually rather good, which is why I gave it 2 s read more

This review is solely about the wait times. As I type this I have been sitting in the drive thru for 40 minutes, and this not the first time I have waited for over 30 minutes. I understand they are a new restaurant but they need some serious training/assistance in how to properly manage these orders. I would hate to see the demise of this restaurant because they can't do something as simple as timely fulfill orders read more

The strawberry cheesecake in a jar was great. the chicken has no taste and was quite bland. It was deep-fried with no batter or flour the french fries however we're good read more

I love this place. The foods good and the service is good. Especially the cheesecake!!! The employees are so nice!

The service is ridiculously slow. Every time I come and give them another chance, I am always dissatisfied and disappointed.

Overall good 5/5!!!!! Chicken tenders and wings combo are a hit. With Cajun ranch sauce

So after two months there has not been any improvement. There were only 5 people in line and the wait was 30mins, it took so long, I turned the engine off and put the car in park. In addition the fries were cold. Disappointing. That was a last opportunity for me. read more

Bro. I waited in the drive through for 30 minutes just to get my food, not the drink yet because god forbid someone fills up a cup for 8 seconds. I waited an extra 15 minutes for the drink. I got close enough to the window to see inside, there's a girl standing there on her phone just chillin. No worries in the world. Can't even fill up a cup and hand it out the window. What kind of service is that??? Wanna be chic fil a ahh joint. Figure it tf out man. I was about to hop out my car and start cheffin up some orders. It was so bad people from the back of the line pulled up to the front to try and cut in. Not today. If i could give 0 stars i would. read more

Not sure how long they've been open, but I know they won't be open long. It took 20 mins to get my food via the drive thru. When I finally got my food, it had a burnt taste, which was not surprising since I could smell something burning. And my food came in a Shoppers grocery bag. When I opened the bag, the food was sweaty. I gave this place a genuine try, but I won't be back. read more

I absolutely love the food and the service I definitely will come again and will recommend to friends.

Customer service is pretty horrible for a drive thru fast food place...drive thru wait times can be up to 25 min with only 4-5 cars in front you. What are they doing inside this place it's like 25 people running around back there loll service should not take this long read more

I really hate writing bad reviews but this place was awful. First off i placed my order through the app which i wish i didn't because once i pulled up to wait for my order i was sitting in my car for 10mins nobody came out. Then i called and told them i was here and i sat there for 30 mins. After that a man came out and asked what the name of the order was and i told him. After that nothing. So i had to go inside and once i was inside never was greeted there were two girls working and dealing with orders not one said anything to me but looked me dead in the face. Once i was finally acknowledge they asked me what my order was and told them they said they would check and that was the end. Finally the man came back and told me my order never went through and he quickly rushed my order and i was out the door. I ordered the chicken and waffles fried pickles and wings and tenders & the jar dessert. It all was nasty except the waffle and the jar dessert that's why i gave it three stars wish Yelp had 1/2 star ratings because i would have gave it a 2 1/2. The dessert & waffle is why I gave it a 3. I will not be back but i don't discourage anyone else to go but keep this review in mind. read more
