The moment we opened the door, we were greeted with a smile and an amazing aroma of chicken. It was so clean and welcoming. The menu was explained with detail. We stuck with the basics and a Buffalo Mac and cheese bowl with fried pickles. The pickles were a thin cut and absolute heaven. The Mac and cheese bowl left us drooling. The manager came out with a sample of each flavor and sauces. Oh My Goodness.... The spicy ones had so much flavor. Runny nose, sweating spice... but flavorful keeping you going back for another bite. I couldn't pick a favorite. Mid meal I sent a video to family and we're already planning another trip here. Get the dessert! You will not be disappointed! Also, every single employee we saw had a smile. This facility is GOLD. Thank you all read more

I ordered ahead thinking may be easier for the time of day I was going. But to my surprise there was no line. I got their current deal. I had never been here so thought it a good idea. It was 20 boneless wings and fries 2 sauces for $12. That chicken was so dry!! I don't know if it is food other time because like I said I've never been before. The fry were stale. Which has not happened to me in a long time. Specially when you would think they would cook as you order. But not sure. But the sauce did not even help it. It made me sad because I was hoping it would be good. read more

After spending a few hours at the Maricopa Home and Garden Show at Cardinal's Stadium, we decided to stop and give this restaurant a try. We had never been to a Slim Chickens before and thought... why not. Well KFC has a taste, Raising Cane's has a taste, Chick-fil-A has a taste, this Chicken has NO taste. Certainly they have over a dozen dips to choose from, but the dip is supposed to add to the taste, not be the taste. Employees were friendly, Restaurant was clean, but the food left us wanting. We will not be back! read more

I am not a fan of Slim Chickens food. About the only thing I like is the fried mushrooms. I know that lots of people love this place, I'm just not one of them! read more

Placed a to go order and the drive thru took forever. By the time I got my food it was not hot to the touch. I tried the strawberry cheesecake jar and it was fine but not loaded enough to warrant the price. read more

I went once in Tennessee and was excited to see they came out this way and near me! I got the 4 piece meal and my bf the chickens which. I got the spicy strips- omg they had a kick. I don't do spicy spicy but I figuired ranch would calm it down... I had to dab some off (I don't do crazy spicy, but it just sounded good). It was still good tho lol. The chicken was very juicy. The seasoning started sweet and ended spicy. I loved the fries so good. My bf said his sandwhich was ok but nothing great. We would Definitely go back. The girl taking our order was really sweet and put up with my dumb questions. Staff we interacted with was very nice. Will be going back to try different items on the menu. read more

Visited Slim Chickens for a second try today. I ordered the club chicken sandwhich, fries and a side of Okra. The sandwich was solid but needs a different sauce. The fries were cold and plain (they should switch to crinkle cut). They advertise cooked to order and they serve you frozen fries. Sad! The fried okra was OK (you would think it would come with a dipping sauce for a very small $5.99 portion). The food came out very fast which goes against the cooked to order claim. In a very tough fried chicken market I would choose Raisin Canes every time over Slim Chickens. "FIMP" Food is My Passion read more

Took my kids here the other week for some chicken. They are huge fans of Raising Canes (I am not..I hate that place...bland ass chicken...anyways!) so I thought we should try this place out. I went with a 5 piece meal, one kid got the kids meal, and my other kid went with the 3 piece meal. They come with fries and toast. You also get to pick 2 sauces out of about a dozen to choose from. I went with honey mustard and mango habanero. How was the food? 5 Piece Strip Meal- First bite in, I knew it was going to be good. Crispy, hot chicken tenders, with flavor! The dips were tasty! Good fries and good toast, too! Coke products which is awesome! My kids loved their food too! We got out of there for only about $30.00 which is pretty cheap nowadays for 3 meals from anywhere. I will definitely return! read more

Idk why this spot has low ratings but for me it was great. First time and I loved the food. Service was friendly and professional, restaurant is clean, has some good tunes playing and tv's on the sports channel. I definitely like this place better than raising canes. More menu options, dipping sauces, and flavors if you want you chicken sauced up. Fries are seasoned right and crispy. 100% will come back. read more

We stopped by Slim Chickens to try them out since we had never been there before. The service was excellent, and the restaurant was clean and inviting! We ordered chicken and some deep-fried pickles. The chicken was great, but the pickles were super oily. I loved that they offered a variety of different sauces. Check them out if there is one near you. read more

Slim Chickens - Chicken Shop Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I was apprehensive about eating at Slim Chickens due to mediocre reviews, though was pleasantly surprised on my recent visit. The facility is rather new. It's bright and clean, yet has a homey, unpretentious feel. It's suitable for all, so feel free to bring kids, coworkers and Grandma. There was no line / no waiting on a Saturday afternoon. While not "out of the way" friendly, the service was efficient and my order was delivered accurately. Many competitors can't say the same. I ordered the Buffalo Tender Mac Bowl Meal. It came with two chopped crispy chicken tenders which were fine for fast food. The bed of Mac and cheese was creamy and ample In portion size. The Buffalo sauce provided just enough flavor without being overpowering. It was all topped off with scallions and crispy fried onions, elevating a simple dish. There was no mention of it on the menu board (for this dish), but the meal included Texas Toast (a slice of grilled white bread). It may be artery- clogging, but also light, crispy and yummy. A (16 oz. ???) fountain drink rounded out the meal. Price: $10.99. I guess I wasn't exhibiting much self control and opted for dessert. They offer both regular menu and seasonal desserts served trifle- style in a glass jar. Mine came with flavorful bits of cheesecake, firm (not mushy) strawberries and whipped cream. It reminded me a little of the trifles another fast food chicken chain offered many years ago, but with cheesecake instead of plain cake. At $6.99, the price was a bit steep for fast food. At least the glass jar is yours to keep and reusable. Overall, the food was good and on the pricey side. Unlike other fast food restaurants, no tip was expected, so it may be on "price par" with other restaurants. I hope they pay their employees a fair wage. read more

Walked in and the OLD OIL SMELL made me want to turn around and walk out, but I decided to give it try, ordered 3x3 3wings and 3 tenders with fries and toast, and a Strawberry cheese cake dessert, sat down to dine in. Within 2 minutes my food was at my table, looked good but fries were just Luke warm then tried a tender was DRY and hard, Tried a wing and it was COLD took one of the wings back up to the counter and ask the person to feel it (uneaten) he felt it and said that is COLD said he didn't understand because they just took them out but the one I tried was dried out like it had been sitting for some time just covered in my hot sauce. He offed to remake it but I declined the smell and the rest of the meal didn't sit right with me. So I went back to sit down and try my dessert which was good. But I left with a $23.00 meal sitting on the table and a bad oil smell. Don't think I'll be returning to Slim Chickens read more

Slim Chickens - BAD FOOD - Chicken Shop Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

If you're looking for regular fried chicken place, this isn't it. I guess that's why it's called Slim Pickens. Pros: *staff was friendly. *place was relatively clean considering it was the lunch rush hour. *the fries were very good *the honey mustard sauce was tasty, but the mango habanero sauce was too hot for me, but not for my hubby. *the toast was good. Cons: *we ordered the 5 & 5 (5 wings & 5 tenders) it came with 4 flats, but just 1 drummette-my husband doesn't like flats, but I do. *the wings don't taste like they brine them so the meat itself was bland. *the tenders were a little bit rubbery. Overall, I've had chicken that's better at other places, but for $18 it wasn't bad. read more

First time trying this location I usually go to happy valley. This location had way better food but it took 22 min to get the food there were long lines people were frustrated. I believe they were very short staffed. My dad went to restroom and noticed the sink was inoperable due to the handle missing off sink in restroom. He let cashier know who said yeah we are aware, they should fix it read more

Food was subpar the wait wasn't worth it honestly. For the price it wasn't bad definitely a better than KFC. Service wasn't great they seemed to care more for the DD/Uber eats orders over in person orders. Tables weren't clean. The desert jar is good and all but if it had ice cream or fruit that'd be a perfect snack! Chicken and waffles weren't bad but the waffle was dry and tasted like it came from a bag and tossed into a microwave I will give them this though their bread and Dr Pepper was actually one of the best I've had out of the chicken spots. read more

I've never been to Slim chickens before They asked for your name, which I told him my name drove up to the window The drink was overflowing. He said he would give me a napkin which he did not. They had my name wrong. I ordered the crispy chicken with fries and a drink. The chicken was so salty no flavor. I don't know what condiment they put on it but he couldn't taste it. The fries were OK, but there wasn't any sauce. They didn't ask me if I want any dipping sauce and no one ever gave me napkins. I will not be back. read more

Clean restaurant with plenty of parking and spacious seating. The cashier , Selene, was super friendly and helpful--great first impression! We got the 5-piece meal (tenders, fries, Texas toast, drink). Chicken was juicy and crunchy, toast was buttery and fluffy, but the fries were just okay and a bit on the small side. The toast made up for it though. For the price, it felt worth it. Drink station was spotless and fully stocked. Potato salad was a miss--too much mayo, not enough seasoning. Lots of sauces to choose from! Ranch, buffalo, and garlic parmesan were my faves. BBQ lovers might enjoy their options too. Overall, solid experience. I'll be back to try a sandwich and one of those dessert jars! read more

I'm going to give an 8 out of 10 only because it was a bit salty‍ but it was worth the try and actually good if they were to lower the sodium it would be Amazing the customer service was awesome and the wait time was really quick! I ordered the 3 & 3 meal (3 tenders & 3 wings) and it was my first time there! The outside appearance is nice and convenient right off the 101, clean drive though and clean parking lot. read more

Chicken is not very good. Plain and stringy. Ordered at 11 am to take to new Buckeye, 262 Avenue. Ordered $65 worth of food with 15 sauces. First of all, you need the sauces to make the chicken edible. Got 45 minutes to our destination and not one sauce. When I got home I called them. The only thing they were willing to do was give me sauce for my inconvenience. A bit too late the chicken I left there. So no thank you on the sauce. But what a huge inconvenience. Everybody ate the dry tasteless chicken without any sauce. I only gave them one star because there's no zero to choose from. What a horrible experience. I will never be back. They could have offered me a $6 chicken strip or a dessert but no just the sauce this place is not good. I will not be back. read more

I hope this is still "working out the kinks" but after these two visits, nothing about this place will bring me back. Tried again after the first not good visit and the food still wasn't good plus the service this time was horrible in the drive thru. There were only three cars ahead of me (including both lanes) and then moving up, a bunch of cars joined the other lane and moved faster than the lane I was in. When I finally got to the speaker the girl working it was acting like she couldn't hear anything which was definitely beyond frustrating. The cars at the window didn't seem to be faring much better. Some were getting their food thru the paying window, others being moved up to collect at the food window. It was just a mess. When I looked behind me, both lines were long. I waited over 30 min. Was not worth it at all. read more

Slim Chickens - 4 piece chicken strip meal - Chicken Shop Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

WOW - Slim Chickens nailed it! We shared the six-piece spicy BBQ wings and they were perfection - crispy skin, tender meat, just the right amount of sauce. Honestly, better than Buffalo Wild Wings! The crispy chicken sandwich was cooked fresh, with a buttery bun and just the right touch of sauce. Desserts came in adorable mason jars - the strawberry cheesecake stole the show with its sweet graham cracker crust and perfect strawberries. The banana pudding was good, though we prefer a little crunch in the wafers. We also tried the mac & cheese - creamy and mild, so if you like less cheesy mac & cheese you might enjoy it, but it wasn't our favorite. All in all, amazing food, great flavors, and wings we'd come back for again and again! read more

Nothing to rave about. The chicken didn't have much flavor. The toast is just basic, nothing amazing. Fried pickles were so salty we couldn't even eat them. The buffalo Mac and cheese bowl was just okay. Too many fried onions on it. French fries were the best part of the meal. Was really hoping it was better, we drove across town to try it out. read more

Awful! We waited for 15 minutes and food was cold. Potato was spoiled, as in rotten. Never going back. Hope I don't get sick!

So happy to have a chicken place close to our house. The chicken tenders were moist and had perfect breading. French fries are good too. The honey bbq sauce and slim sauce were good, can't wait to try more of the sauce options. read more

Where to start...ordered two chicken tender meals, fries and a side of pickles. The chicken was not fresh....ill leave it at that. The fries and pickles were saturated in oil and so heavily salted that they were inedible. The only positive was the buffalo chicken Mac n cheese. No concerns with that however, everything else was subpar as stated. The added bonus- both parties that ate were up all night with severe stomach cramps and you can guess what goes along with that. Sadly it was a waste of a lot of money. read more

Service in drive through was quick but food was over cooked. All of our chicken tenders were dry and hard to chew while the toast was sad and hard like a crouton. The wings were so dry it felt almost like jerky. Flavors of dips and sauces were good but execution of cooked products were horrible, except for the fries and fried Okra. read more

I was really excited for this place to open. Have tried it twice now to be fair. The chicken sandwich is just not very good. I would rather have Chik-fil-A or much rather have Popeyes chicken sandwich. Additionally they won't give you any sauce with the sandwich. You have to pay for every bbq flavor cup - nothing is included. It is an $8 fast food chicken sandwich that they give you no sauce for???? The fried mushrooms and fried pickles were not crisp at all (had in store and fresh) and very small mushroom and slices of pickle with too much breading that is salty. Mac and cheese is nothing to write home about and small portion size. We won't be coming back because there are so many better options. You can't be this mediocre and this expensive in today's marketplace. Nothing here is compelling enough to spend your money on or to return a second time. Just too many options for this to be this bad. read more

Bad service and low quality food. The only thing that was decent was the fries . Other than that, Cane's and Shane's are still better . read more

We went there for the first time today and it was horrible they overpowered everything was salt the salt was covered in the french fries and in the batter to the fried pickles and the fried mushrooms it just tasted nothing but salt and it burning my mouth and left a blister I'm not happy about it I will not go back and when I told the manager about it he laughed about it and said oh we tried to water all of our stuff down from being too salty which makes no sense to me he took it as a joke and I thought that was very disrespectful of him he says he's from Maricopa and he's covering a manager there and he didn't take anything I said seriously right now. I don't recommend this place if they're going to be rude inconsiderate and don't take your concerns seriously. read more

We've always had a good experience with Slim Chickens but the quality seems to be going downhill fast... ordered a wrap for the first time and there was, at most, a single chicken tender's worth of chicken in it. It was like I might as well have not eaten anything for lunch. If you pay $14+ for a meal, you would hope to at least be full for an hour or so? So disappointing. Fries were cold and soggy, too. And the delivery was fast! My husband's food was all really cold as well. read more

The restaurant is quiet and not overly bright. Everything was clean and no odd smells or anything. The employee greated us with a smile and was very friendly. Overall the food is just average and not worth the cost when compared to other chicken places. We tried the mango habeniero and the cayenne ranch and ended up just using the ketchup. The chicken is light breaded and was very juicy, just lacked much in the way of flavor. Ultimately, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but I would try them again if I am in the area. read more

Everything they had my food ready I had to take out order. Staff was polite friendly I have no complaints about the surface.

First, I would like to address all the people that leave a one star review. You are reviewing a drive through chicken shop. Not a Michelin Star restaurant. So adjust your expectations. The food was good. Selene M took our order and was delightful. We got chicken, waffles, and fried pickles. Everything was well prepared, the sauces were good, and the restaurant was clean. We will be back. Thank you. read more

I really wanted to like this restaurant, because I have so many of you who read my reviews no, I love me some fried chicken! This particular location is right next to an entrance ramp onto the 101 off of Northern Avenue. As I pulled through the drive-through, the traffic noise was so loud I could not hear the person through the loudspeaker, and they could not hear me either. I know this as they got my name completely wrong on the order. I only say this as this may be a process issue that slows people down during the ordering process and may actually add to confusion by taking orders. I simply ordered a chicken sandwich. It was eight dollars and some change. No drink no extras. By the time I got home, about a nine minute drive, the sandwich was completely cold. Chicken was dry. The sandwich consisted of a bun (naturally), two chicken strips, a bunch of pickles and a healthy smearing of a seasoned mayonnaise. I ended up just eating the two chicken strips. I wish I could give my experience a better rating, but it just won't bring me back. Perhaps you'll have better luck? read more

Went through the drive thru and they forgot a chicken club sandwich. Went inside and waited in line while one girl was not only taking orders but also delivering to the tables. This was during the lunch rush and only one employee up front is unacceptable. Finally got to the front and then had to wait another 5 minutes for them to get the sandwich out to me. My wife ordered an extra honey mustard sauce and the container was almost empty. Very bad experience. read more

Stopped by Slim Chickens tonight on the way to pick up one of my kids from an activity. If I was reviewing employees alone I'd say five sets all day! From the moment I pulled up to the drive thru the person was friendly and helpful with some recommendations and all smiles. Once I chose my order which was a regular chicken sandwich, spicy chicken sandwich and the 7 finger meal with fries etc I headed to the pay window. Equally friendly, was given my drink and went to the second window for my food. This employee was by far a highlight. I wish I'd remembered her name. She said she was there to help this location out and was a senior at Sandra Day O'Connor HS, she was friendly, talkative, efficient and told us what she loved about Slim Chickens. She was a great first impression of this place. Once we had our food I pulled over to check it out and taste a bit with my son. The chicken strips were great, juicy, and the bbq sauce good. The fries were crispy. I'd prefer a bit more salted but still good. Toast was ok, but not a huge fan. Soda had good carbonation. The chicken sandwiches I brought to my daughter and her friend. They were a huge hit. We'll definitely be back to get more things. Vibe was great. read more
