    I was picking up the DoorDash in the drive through.But it made me come inside and the order was not ready.I could have waited in the car. The food I will be judging a later time.I have not here.This is for a customer.The environment looks pretty clean.

    Back for the 3rd time and got the Hungry meal which is 7 strips, fries, 2 pieces of toast which is a piece of bread cut diagonally and a drink. It comes with 2 sauce and we got the slim sauce and the honey bbq. The slim sauce has a sweet finish like it has sweet relish in it and it's a no for me. This is my second time having the honey bbq and it's my fave so far. The bread is like a garlic toast and so good and the strips were pipping hot! Everything was good

    Established was clean in the outside inside and restroom (only hot water) to wash hands, but I been to several establishments and water was the same there. We order two chicken and waffles chicken strips were tender not crispy and waffle was a bit crispy next time will ask for less crisp. Also order a chicks meal 3 chicken tenders, Texas toast looked like (normal bread)and fries- fries were good and not hard with honey mustard sauce.chicken club sandwiched was well cooked and seasoned veggies we're fresh ate it with honey mustard. They had. Variety of drinks I recommend the raspberry or peach tea. Chocolate chip brownie was a bit dry and the red velvet Oreo jar dessert was good a little too too sweet I think with out the Oreo it would be better. Customer service was A+. I would go to this restaurant again and I'm sorry but they're better than Dave's chicken around the corner.

    My waffle was burnt and I'm positively sure someone knew before they put it in the box and handed it out the window

    Meh. Glad I finally tried it, but a little disappointed I passed up the Chick-fil-A in the same shopping center for the new try. CfA is always a sure bet. Immediately when I entered, an employee (who seemed to be the manager judging by her blue polo verses the black polos everyone else was wearing) was on the phone (SPEAKER PHONE, that is) talking very loudly with what seemed to be another coworker about a mystery shopper who had been in the store. A mystery or secret shopper is a type of market research that uses a shopper to act as a true customer to evaluate the customer experience in-person, over the phone, or online. She was telling the other person she couldn't believe the mystery shopper was real and said she looked like a regular person THEN went onto to say the shopper looked like a low life. I am seriously surprised the woman didn't catch my looks of disapproval and annoyance. Talk about terrible customer service and not handling things professionally! I ordered my meal with another associate and made my way to the drink counter. They have sweet tea and lemonade. Mixed them both together and made myself an Arnold Palmer - which was pretty good. The blue polo shirt speaker phone lady was still going on but this time something about bonuses for her employees. She finally hung up as I was getting seated. My tenders meal arrived to my table in a timely fashion. The tenders were piping hot. I could tell they were "made to order" as their murals indicate. I chose ranch, garlic parmesan and gravy for my dips. The ranch was very good. Nice and cold plus full of creamy flavor. The garlic parmesan was like cold lemon herb sauce which was terrible. The gravy was lumpy and had no flavor, even after I added black pepper. The tenders themselves were pretty good. The coating is minimal, so they weren't greasy. The Texas toast was bland, and the fries were basic. Not impressed with the meal at all. 3 stars is more than I should give. As I am sitting there trying to make the meal the best I could, blue polo shirt speaker phone lady came back out to help a customer who walked into order. Mid order, she took her lip balm out of her pocket and applied it liberally to her lips then completed the order. I was floored. I can't understand how this woman is a manager. That is so bad to do in front of customers. She just though a mystery shopper was bad. Does she have any idea about reviewers who reach a bigger audience?! This is when I wish I wasn't such an observant person. Speaking of observant. I noticed the only car in the parking lot close to the store never moved while I was dining. I was the only person in the store until the man walked in 20 minutes after me. I saw him park near me in the extended area parking. With that said, who was parked there? An employee?? Those spaces should be saved for customers. That's customer service 101. All in all, I am being generous with my 3 stars. Will not return.

    Nice to see the menu is available outside

    I got hungry after seeing my acupuncture doctor. Right before I hopped on the road, I saw a new restaurant. I remember before Slim Chickens was Carl's Jr. After CoVid pandemic, this building was boarded up until last year. Once I saw the new sign, I knew it's gonna be something good. Location is not just everything, but the food offer and variety are also big parts of a successful restauranteur. I know Slim is not reference to a figure but a person's nickname. Because it offers southern comfort food. I was reading the menu from the QR code that I scanned in the parking lot. I thought I still need to interact with the human, I'll just ask for a recommendation. Cashier was really friendly and knowledgeable. She read my mind on Waffle and Chicken. I'm newbie to this dish. I never knew what's the proper way to eat this. I started eating chicken, then eat the waffle with butter and syrup. The chicken strips were so tender and fresh. Waffle was soft - perfect for my old man's bites. I wasn't paying too much attention to my food because I found some interesting reviews on Yelp. Oh, the ice teas were made with freshly brewed tea. I tasted when they were lukewarm. The sweet tea was real Southern tea. Yeah, I'll be back for the sandwich.

    Chicken Club Sandwich and Chicken strips. Better than Canes and Chik-Fil-A

    Never thought I'd review a fast food place but this place deserves it. Out of all the fast food chicken spots Slim Chicken has some of the best tasting chicken. Definitely better than Canes and Chik-Fil-A. Their chicken strips are way better seasoned than canes and they have a large variety of sauces for you to choose from. Their slim sauce is great and so is their mango habanero sauce. Their fries are better seasoned than Canes and Chik-Fil-A as well. I like their chicken sandwich way better than Chik-Fil-A, the herb ranch mayo or whatever they put on it makes it taste way better. Not to mention slim chickens is better seasoned. The only thing Canes has that's better is their texas toast and Canes sauce. Otherwise than that Slim Chickens is way better. I don't understand why they aren't more popular. They're priced better than Canes and Chik-Fil-A too. Only thing I think they need to improve on is sometimes the food isn't fresh/cooked to order but neither is Chik-Fil-A. Only chicken place that I feel really cooks to order is Canes. If they fix that consistency issue they're perfect.

    Oh the chicken, what a delicious bird! As Katt Williams once said the pure existence of the chicken is just proof that God loves you! I couldn't agree more. In the heart of Westheimer, Slim Chickens, the fast food chain, is here to bring you all types of items with God's most delicious bird. This includes bowls, burgers, sandwiches, wraps and chicken strips. I've been to the Katy location, and had a delicious experience, so expected nothing less here. The staff was descent, just a bunch of teens working the front, typical of many fast food joints. For the most part, the restaurant also seems pretty clean and is spacious on the inside. Typically, my go-to at Slim Chickens is one of those delicious Chicken Mac & Cheese Bowls (whenever they are in season), however this time we decided to go for something different. We went for a Club Sandwich with fries, the Smokey Wrap with fried chicken tenders (you have the option of choosing fried or grilled), fountain drinks, and some world famous Strawberry Cheesecake in a mason jar. All was absolutely delicious, as God would have intended. This place can even give Chick-Fil-A a run for their money. They have a wide array of fountain drinks as well, and delicious sweet tea to chose from. Their desserts are well recognized, and served in a neat mason jar with the slim chicken logo on it (a sharply dressed chicken, ready to serve you the best). Its always a good time here, a must, and all at a good price as well!

    Slim Chickens Classic

    After seeing many reviews on Yelp for this Slim Chickens location, I decided to try it today for lunch. It's very close to a Chick-Fil-A which I think is tasty... but not a great value for the $$$. The restaurant is clean and the people are friendly (and helpful) when you place your order. I ordered the Classic which is 4 tenders, fries, garlic toast and a drink. I also had Spicy BBQ sauce and Korean BBQ sauce. It was fantastic! The chicken was hot and freshly cooked... same for the fries! The garlic toast was great but the order is filling so I left a piece of the bread behind. I recommend this place for certain. Great food and a great value.

Want to start by saying I loved the atmosphere. Loved being able to sit at a bar, loved the music, and service was superb. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Catfish was pretty good. It had the perfect crunch and a plentiful portion so no complaints. Sides were good but not something I'd rave about. The étouffée was pretty solid but the Brussels could've been better. Maybe seasoning them a little more, cutting them in halves, and charring them would've done the job. Peach cobbler was so yummy. I loveeeee how they have offer for preferences with the peach cobbler (more crust, more filling, or neutral) because I personally love more crust. Kool aid was good but could stand to be just a tad bit less sweet with more flavor. All in all if you have a catfish craving and want good vibes and service I'd 1000% endorse this spot.

There's also parking in the back of the restaurant, or you can street park. A great place to stop to eat if you're in the Museum district, but make sure to make reservations, since there's a bit of a wait otherwise. We tried the chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, hot chilli biscuits, oxtail omelette, jalapeño poppers, fried green tomato, croissant French toast, Mac n cheese and chicken fried steak. Of them all, I really liked the hot chilli biscuits, oxtail omelette, french toast and fried green tomatoes. The hot chilli biscuits were sized more like mini pancakes. The croissant French toast was delicious and sweet enough to eat without syrup, which is how I had it. I would get the oxtail omelette or the croissant French toast myself, if I come back. For drinks we tried the Moscow mule and peach mimosas. The peach mimosa was a little medicinal tasting, so I'd recommend the original mimosa.

You could easily come here for a fancy birthday celebration or just a casual lunch and brunch. I loved that I didn't feel weird having two kids under six with us. There were other families there, and it felt very welcoming without sacrificing that nice restaurant vibe. Everyone in the family really enjoyed what they ordered and the service was great! My oldest daughter had the cheeseburger with french fries and loved it, especially the bread which was nicely toasted and gave it a great crunch. My youngest had the chicken tenders with mac and cheese, and my husband really liked his stuffed poblano pepper dish.

The mashed potatoes were great, and the greens leaned more sweet than savory, which I really enjoyed. The fried green tomatoes were another major standout with the sauce they served.

    Good evening, I am a…read moreHoustonian born and raised, and I have been to Grace's more times than I can count. In the past, I have been a huge advocate for this establishment and have recommended Grace's to countless family members and friends. Unfortunately, after my experience today, I can no longer say that I would confidently recommend this restaurant. My aunt came into town to celebrate her birthday and wanted to go somewhere nice for brunch, so naturally, I recommended Grace's. I made reservations for 12:30 PM, and our family traveled approximately an hour from the Cypress/Katy area to celebrate Labor Day together. Unfortunately, the experience started off poorly and continued throughout our entire meal. After being seated, our waiter came over, introduced himself, and then we did not hear from him again for approximately 20-25 minutes. During that time, he did not take our drink order, ask if we wanted appetizers, or even bring the complimentary cornbread. We were literally looking around trying to find our waiter. Thankfully, we were able to get the attention of a manager, who took our drink order and brought our drinks himself. That alone should have been an indication that something was wrong with the service. Later, my mom and aunt ordered another round of drinks. My mom received hers, but my aunt's drink never came. Our food arrived, we ate, finished our meal, and her drink still had not been brought to the table. At that point, my aunt told the waiter to cancel the drink and asked for the check because we were ready to leave. When we received the check, we noticed that a gratuity/service charge had been added. Since there were only three adults and two children in our party, we decided to speak with the manager--the same manager who had to take our drink order earlier. We explained our experience and the issues we had with the service. What was most disappointing was that instead of apologizing, acknowledging our concerns, or expressing any genuine concern about the experience we had just described, the manager made excuses. That response was extremely disappointing. I understand that restaurants can have busy days, mistakes happen, and service issues can occur. What made this experience particularly frustrating was the lack of accountability and customer service after we brought the issues to management's attention. I have been to Grace's numerous times, so I know what the experience is normally like. This was not an extremely busy day compared to what I am accustomed to seeing at Grace's, which made the poor service even more surprising. We drove an hour to celebrate my aunt's birthday and expected to have a great Labor Day brunch at a restaurant that I had personally recommended to my family. Instead, we left extremely disappointed. This was not the Grace's experience I have known in the past, and unfortunately, based on today's experience, I will think twice before recommending or returning to this location.
