    5 & 5 Meal  5 tenders, 5 Wings, Fries, Toast Garlic Parm, Ranch, and Honey BBQ
    Rachel S.

    Ordered ahead on DoorDash for pickup and ate on their patio for lunch. It was a lovely day, not busy at all and the food was cooked fresh and came out hot. We got Korean bbq sauce on the wings which was very good and had a little kick, and got three dipping sauces to try. Garlic Parm had a strong and good parmesan flavor. Ranch was excellent and honey bbq was great! Next time I would get the Honey bbq sauce on the wings. The tenders were very hot and fresh. My favorite of the two were the wings though.

    The chicken was good but the wait was almost 30 mins!! Nice dining room, with kiosks at the counter for self service . The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, so many orders and door dash drivers picking up orders. These orders seemed to make the in person customers wait even longer than it should have been. That is the impression I got.

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    Fred B.

    And yet another fast/casual, fried chicken chain in the Triad! This one was started in 2003 in Fayetteville AR by 2 childhood friends. The number of restaurants currently stand at nearly 300. The menu centers on chicken tenders and wings, with several sandwiches available as well. There are a few sides and a double handful of house made sauces offered also. I know this will appear heretically but I'm not a fan of chicken tenders, especially those offered by the majority of fast casual chains. I do like the Nashville Hot tenders at Chili's, and the Chicken Tender Sandwich at Smithfield Chicken. But generally, I prefer bone in chicken or a fried chicken sandwich with a well sized breast or thigh. They do offer a Crispy Chicken Sandwich here for $5.59 - 60 cents higher than KFC and Popeye's, whose filets are a bit larger, Slims is 8 ounces. The menu description for the Crispy Chicken Sandwich - "A 100% all natural chicken breast dipped in buttermilk marinade lightly breaded, perfectly fried and topped with crisp pickles and ranch mayo on a toasted bun. This is no namby pamby chicken sammy!" Well, OK then. The sandwich was ok but was not a game changer. While the filet had a nice crunch and decent flavor, and the pickles were indeed crisp, the sandwich as served was under sauced, muted by the brioche bun as well. The combo was right at $11.50. This sandwich is about average among the chain sandwiches, well below KFC, Popeye's, Culver's, and even Cook Out. I would not try this spot again!

    Great hot food and tasty sauces! Quick service and great seasoning! Chicken was straight white breast meat and the fries were hot and made to order.

    Kids Tender Meal
    Allison P.

    Stopped for a quick lunch yesterday and it was delicious! I LOVE when places have kiosk ordering. I ordered a kids meal-grilled chicken tenders, fries, Texas toast and a drink for $6! The food arrived fast and was super fresh. Restaurant was clean too. I'll definitely return!

    Fried chicken salad
    Zac G.

    (3.5 stars) Given the drive-thru lines, one might expect Slim Chickens to be something other than Slightly Fancier Zaxby's. However, that's what this chain is in a nutshell. In addition to the expected tenders, wings, sandwiches, and salads, Slim Chickens offers tender mac & cheese bowls, chicken & waffles, and various fried vegetables as sides. I opted for a fried chicken salad, ordered through the drive thru. Thankfully, the previously reported lengthy delays seem to be a thing of the past. Service was smooth and efficient. The salad was generously sized and included a variety of veggies (carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce) as well as fried onions. At $10.50 with a drink and two dressings (I went with ranch and honey mustard) included, it proved to be a good value. The chicken was moist and nicely breaded, but it lacked depth of flavor. Though filling and perfectly palatable, I'd be lying if I said the salad was anything special. If there weren't so many other chicken options in town, Slim Chickens would perhaps make more of an impression. It's definitely not bad, but it also doesn't really rise above the fray.

    Great food as usual. Fresh and hot. I got the fried pickles for the first time. Pretty good. Hot and fresh and they give you an ample serving as well. The restaurant was clean as always.

    Slim Chickens is a new to the area chicken chain, that has Louisiana roots. For their first Triad location, they picked High Point, and based on my visit, y'all would think people have never seen fried chicken before. It was so busy, that I was tempted to turn around and walk out, but I decided to push on... because usually when places are busy, the food comes out hot, and that's what ya want right? There was a run down church in this spot, and I'm sure they got a nice check to pack up and move elsewhere, as this is now a prime shopping area in north HP. That said, whoever chose the layout for the drive-thru and parking should not be trusted to do so again. It's pretty awful. No matter where you are going or your intention, you're going to be in a tight squeeze and competing with someone else's car. I decided to go with chicken tenders for my first meal there. Slim's meal comes with 5 tenders, texas toast, a side and 2 sauces, which sounds like a lot, but these are more like the chicken strips from CFA than a nice big chicken tenderloin. I found it to be just about right when the order came out. Normally the meal comes with fries, I paid a couple extra dollar upcharge for pickle chips. There are several other sides to choose from for an upcharge over the fries. I got mango habanero and korean BBQ for my chicken sauces, and ranch with the pickles. I had a 20 minutes wait for my chicken, which they were nice and upfront about. Service in general was polite and cordial, ambience was very tight, but there is a patio for a nice day which I chose. When it arrived, everything looked quite tasty, very visually appealing. In execution, I thought the chicken was pretty mid. The breading had a nice flavor, and I love the variety of sauces (Korean BBQ was the best one I chose, mango habanero was OK) but these chicken tenders were kind of thin, which made them taste dry. Not chalky dry, edible dry. Thankfully the sauce made that better. The pickle chips were also not all that great, they weren't crispy, though I would say they looked to not be a frozen variety, definitely dipped and fried to order which is great. Texas toast was buttery, the ranch was really good. All in all, with so much chicken competition in North Carolina in general, I thought this was just fine. I might come back again later when the popularity has died down some and try a sandwich, but for now, I'm OK not rushing back.

    Chicken meal with side salad
    Chad H.

    Tucked into the growing landscape of High Point's casual dining scene, Slim Chickens offers a fast-casual Southern-style experience that delivers solid value, approachable variety, and a few menu surprises--though not without its limitations. The Meal: I sampled the 4-piece chicken tender plate, opting for a side salad--a choice that turned out to be one of the unexpected highlights. Crisp greens, fresh toppings, and a balanced home made ranch dressing made it a refreshing counterpoint to the fried fare. My son mirrored the order but chose fries, which were golden, seasoned well, and satisfying in that familiar comfort-food way. Two members of our group tried the Mac & Cheese Bowls--a creamy, indulgent blend topped with chopped tenders. The feedback was unanimous: very good, and more importantly, worth a repeat. Another diner had the standard 4-piece plate with mac & cheese as a side, rounding out the comfort-forward selections. A vanilla milkshake was also on the table--classic, rich, and notably well-executed, proving Slim Chickens can hold its own when it comes to dessert indulgences. Flavor & Execution: The chicken tenders, Slim Chickens' cornerstone, were solid but unremarkable. They had a crisp exterior and moist interior but lacked a defining seasoning or texture that might elevate them beyond the competition. Think reliable, not revelatory. Their signature sauces, sold at $0.40 each, added character and variety--flavorful, if slightly overpriced, considering other chains include them freely. Still, they did lift the chicken in much-needed ways. They did tell me the next time that I visit they could toss the tenders in what ever flavor I'd like and that's included in the price of the meal. Overall Experience: Pricing felt fair for the portions and variety, and the service was quick--a crucial quality for fast-casual spots aiming to balance efficiency with flavor. While I've certainly had better chicken elsewhere, Slim Chickens delivers a dependable meal that's especially strong on sides and specialty items like the Mac & Cheese Bowl and milkshakes. Final Verdict: A respectable showing with a few standouts. The chicken won't blow you away, but if you're in the area and want a quick, satisfying Southern-inspired meal with decent variety and comfort food flair, Slim Chickens is worth a return visit--just maybe not a special trip.

    This is a new chicken spot in High Point. They opened 3/24/25, and from the first day the drive-thru line has been WRAPPED around the building. Last night I placed an order online at 7:45; ready for to pickup at 8:15. I made my way there and even at that time, there were only 2 parking spaces available but the drive-through was not long. Inside is not large but no one was waiting in a table. There was a line-up at the drink machine though (odd). I noticed they do have 2 ordering windows so that will be helpful when the newness wears off. The food was good, a tad salty, but I will order something different next time.

    First time at Slim Chickens recently. Reminded me a lot of Canes. Hand breaded tenders, not pre breaded and frozen. Juicy and tender. Great fries and good sauces. Hits the mark if you're tired of Chick Fil A and do not want Bojangles or Popeyes. Definitely a grade above those two mega chicken chains. I'll be back to try the sandwich and the wings.

    First time trying, and it did not disappoint. Service was great. Food was very good. Prices are very good in today's market. We will be regulars now.

    Very mediocre food. Took 30 min to get food! Will not be returning. Will go to Zaxby's because it's better chicken.

    I love a good breakfast spot, and Scrambled Southern Diner is one of my favorites. We went early,…read moreknowing they get busy, which can lead to parking issues or a wait. The coffee was hot and constantly refilled, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly in a laid-back environment. I have a hard time resisting traditional eggs Benedict, so that is what I ordered. My partner had the pork loin with eggs and a side of grits. Neither of us was disappointed. This is exactly the kind of breakfast place I enjoy -- good food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere.

    TikTok led us to this cute brunch spot in Greensboro, NC!! The decor was modern but simplistic,…read morevery comfy! The waiter was very polite and friendly, he made sure we had what we needed and answered any questions we had about the menu and food choices. The food was delicious! My niece and cousin had the pancake, they were the size of the plate and quite tasty! My other niece had the crab cake sandwich, she said it was good but the fruit was plated on the same plate so it was warm which was not appealing to her so she didn't eat it. I had the French toast platter with the fried chicken. The French toast was pretty good but the bread used was pretty flat but it was tasty and the chicken was overcooked, there was some black spots from being fried too long. The hit at our table was the cheesy grits, very cheesy and flavorful. We'd definitely go back to try other things on the very extensive menu!!
