If you're looking for high-quality comfort food in Meridian, Slim Chickens is a must-visit! I was immediately impressed by the friendly, high-energy staff who helped me navigate the menu with ease. The Food: I opted for the 4-tender Classic Meal. The tenders themselves were the star--super juicy, never overcooked, and featuring a breading that puts other fast-casual spots to shame. The fries had a great seasoned crunch, and the Texas toast was the perfect accompaniment. I also highly recommend the peach tea; it's blended perfectly so it's flavorful without being overly sweet. The Sweet Finish: You have to try their house-made Jar Desserts! I had the seasonal banana pudding, and it was nostalgic, creamy, and delicious--tastes just like what grandma used to make. Exceptional Service: What really set this visit apart was the management. While I was finishing my meal, the manager personally came by to collect my trash and thanked me for coming in. He even gave me a card for a free Slim's Wrap for my next visit! That kind of genuine hospitality is rare and keeps me coming back. The Vibe: The restaurant is spotless and bright. I love that they offer a mix of booths and tables, plus a patio for outdoor dining. They also have a quick drive-thru if you're on the go. Great prices, amazing flavors, and stellar service. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

Slim Chickens - Kids chicken meal - Chicken Shop Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Just Wow - I've tried Canes - I've tried Daves Hot - I've tried Guthries... But these guys blow their competition out of the water! Slim Chickens is made fresh to order, consistently comes out too hot to eat - and the flavor is incredible. The fries are good. The fried pickles are great. The fried mushrooms are great. The brownie jar dessert is fantastic - Slim Chickens is by far the best chicken strips in the area. Outstanding. Great staff - high energy, very accomodating. read more

A place we don't have back home so the teens wanted to try it. It's a cute little place- kinda reminded us of a cross between Freddy's and Raising Canes (only chicken but they also do dessert). The service was great. Friendly, patient and attentive. The food was okay- I did like that they had a salad, which I thought was pretty good. The kids enjoyed their meals enough, but didn't think it was the best they had ever had. We would definitely go back and it's a fun little place to get chicken and a wide variety of dipping sauces. read more

For fast food this is my new go to spot. The fact they have bone in Buffalo wings and all kinds of sauces is a game changer. They are always so nice everytime I am in the drive thru. read more

We were in a tight spot...on our way to Costco and hungry. Not a good combo. Slim chickens recently opened, hadn't tried it yet, and it was in the same parking lot so we gave it a shot. My son and I got chicken strips and my wife got the dill chicken sandwich. The sandwich was better than the strips, that much was clear. The sauce options were pretty cool and they had a ton to choose from. We didn't do any fancy sides but they had quite the selection from specialty Mac and cheeses to fried okra. The menu was surprisingly pretty large. They have a lot to offer and we only scratched the surface. That said, what we got was good. Nothing too grand but it did the job. The sandwich meal was a much better value so keep that in mind. While it's not my go to chicken joint if it's there it's worth going to check out. I think they have more to offer than what we got in our dash to save $1,000 on a hungry Costco haul. Eat up Boise read more

I ordered through DoorDash for delivery. It was a fast delivery. Since I didn't eat it immediately after it was cooked, Im giving them the benefit of the doubt with 3 stars instead of 2.. The Salad with Ranch was actually great! The 8 piece wings with Garlic Parmesean were very mehhh, I don't know how else to describe it. I ate a few and didn't want to eat more. They were also soggy which isn't what you're going for with fried wings. Cooking wings in soybean oil?! Gosh I hope we get back to most places using Tallow soon!! I don't think I'd want to try this place again. read more

We'll definitely be back the fried okra and fried mushrooms are delicious. Service is quick and efficient and the food is really good.

Chicken is delicious and authentic homemade flavor. The sauces were spot on. I tried the key lime desert mason jar. It was top notch the only touch that would have perfected was mini white chocolate chips(hint to chef) but beautifully layered and already an amazing desert you'd expect from high end desert company. The service was outstanding. Prices were less than expected for what was delivered. Think I found my new favorite Chicken spot!!! read more

We've eaten here so many times and I keep forgetting to post! The most recent visit was the best by far. We were greeted by a friendly service member who took our order and double checked that it was correct. Food came out fast and accurate. I ordered the chicken wrap with grilled chicken and a side salad with ranch dressing. I typically order the Cayenne chicken sandwich which is always delicious, but I wanted lighter fare. I was incredibly impressed with the freshness of the tomatoes (I added to the wrap, it's not a default ingredient), lettuce and cheese. The chicken was warm and melt in your mouth tender. My least favorite part was the wrap, as it was supposed to be a jalapeño cheddar flavor but it tasted like neither. The side salad was such a perfect size and again, fresh and flavorful. I was very happy. Only downside was that the ice machine was broken and the drinks tasted less than cold without ice. We had to ask if we could get ice from the drive thru soda machine, it wasn't offered. Husband ordered the three strip plate with gravy for a side. WOW, that white gravy is lickin' finger good! Hubby was having no trouble dipping everything in that gravy. He didn't finish his toast since it wasn't a big draw for him. I wish their toast was crave-worthy. Overall, our meals made us want to go back sooner than later! read more

My family and I came for dinner after our Costco run, we ordered 5x5 meal combo(5 wings & 5 tenders), Cayenne chicken sandwich, fried okra, fried mushrooms & southern pecan cheese cake jar. We liked everything except the fries- but the tenders were so good... The tenders were pipping hot, had good flavor & so tender. The wings were pretty good also. We ordered garlic parmesan cheese and BBQ flavor for the wings. The cayenne chicken sandwich was also good. The service was good & fast. It took them less than 5 minutes to bring out our dinner. The fried okra & mushrooms took a little bit longer. I am going to come back and try their wrap and chicken & waffles for next time. read more

Pros- Clean restaurant, friendly staff, quick service, food at good temperature. Decent tasting tenders, but undersized. Good selection of beverages with fresh cut lemon. Cons- Very expensive. One 3x3 meal with dessert was over $23 for one person! Order line is unorganized and long. Fried pickles were so salty that I had to throw them out. Lemon was not fresh cut, probably sliced yesterday. Pecan jar had a date of 10/6, today is 10/7. No indication if that was the made on-date or the sell-by-date. Online ordering is significantly more expensive per item, but app prices match in-store prices. Verdict- Worth a splurge if you order carefully, but don't take the family. read more

Love Slim Chickens. The chicken is delicious and all of the dipping sauces. The ranch is amazing. Yum. The customer service is amazing. Just love this place. It's a cute and comfortable place. read more

Slim Chicken was a very friendly experience. The owners and/or operators clearly made customer service training a priority. Everyone we interacted with in the dining room to start then in the parking lot to the drive thru had our best interests in mind. I ordered the 3 x 3 for my wife. Three original Slim chickens tenders and three wings. My wife decided on the Mango Habanero sauce, her dipping sauces were ranch and bleu cheese. She wanted to try the coleslaw as her side. As mentioned earlier, the drive thru order takers, runners, and other employees were genuinely nice and courteous. My wife liked her tenders but didn't have any way to distinguish them from any other tender, which I thought was weird since Slims proudly proclaims their particular way of breading and sourcing of breast chicken. The wings looked like that they had the right amount of sauce and smelled spicy. She enjoyed them to their bone. She did not like the coleslaw. She said it had a horseradish tang to them and she wasn't expecting that. Her experience was better than Dave's so that's good and if she's in the mood for to line dance with Slim, we'll stop by. read more

Slim Chickens - Chicken Slims Wrap Meal - Chicken Shop Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Welcome to Idaho, Slim Chickens! I've eaten at one of the Utah locations and this is everything I remember or would compare too. Today we hit the drive thru at 11:45 for lunch. Line wasn't bad at this point. Not a fan of the drive thru space. Fries were hot, crispy and salted. No complaints. I am one of those people that eat my fries first cause everything else will be ok sitting for a minute or two. They were definitely well cooked and yummy! Chicken Club sandwich was hot and crunchy. Produce was fresh. Bacon crisp. Brioche bun was a great compliment for this sandwich. My only complaint for the whole experience would be that there isn't enough sauce/spread. It wasn't dry but I just didn't get ranch mayo flavor. I know there's a fine line between not enough, just right and too much. (Mama Bear would have complained too.) We also had the Buffalo wrap and it was hard to tell that it had any sauce, let alone spicier sauce. With Buffalo you should feel some heat but the sauce was lacking for sure. Wrap was definitely a lighter option. It came in a spinach tortilla. Option to choose between crunchy tenders or grilled is a wonderful option. Looked really good...just up the sauce game please. Portions are good. Fries are plenty. Food was all cooked perfectly. Ask for sauce on the side maybe until they get the newness worked out. Everything was great for day three, so I'm not even knocking off for the sauce. Keep up the good work. We will be back! **Shout out to the employees/staff that had to come and push the car out of the drive thru. Team effort for sure! read more

Came here because of a BOGO deal they had. The chicken tenders are pretty good, a little on the smaller side and a bit salty for my taste. However overall I'd come back for the good price and service. read more

Cashier was passive aggressive, Cashier's behavior was microagressive, overall terrible customer service and experience.

Went here and the customer service was disrespectful and very unprofessional. They got my food wrong and when I called back, the man who answered the phone argued with me then called me a f*cking b*tch. After he said that he hung up the phone. Never going back to support this business. read more

This place was so good! I really enjoyed the chicken basket. Food was hot and service was friendly. Will try again :) read more

This was a solid place for me for what it is. It's a chicken joint with chicken options. No beef , no fake meat, no fish it's just chicken with some options. The inside of this restaurant is new but super clean inside and outside. Open vibe concept with lots of seating... For food my wife had the buffalo chicken wrap and I had the cayenne chicken ranch sandwich. Both the dishes were good and well made. We both liked the fries as well. Everything was hot and presented for what well for what it is. The tipping point for the 4 star was the excellent customer service. Everyone was super friendly and even after eating had another employee thank us for dining with them...it was a nice change to actual have friendly employees. Looks like Chick Fil A is gonna have some competition. Also if you like sauces for your food they have like 17 to choose from. read more

Oooof. They've got a lot to work through. The food was cold. It wasn't tasty. They forgot things from our order. The tea tasted all unsweetened, whether you got peach or raspberry. My chicken sandwich looked like they tried to cut it? Not sure why the bun was splitting. The potato salad must be a southern recipe or something. I did not like it at all. It had a sweetness to it that none of my family liked. We ended up throwing it away. read more

This place wasn't bad at all. The chicken tasted like it was fresh and breaded in house. I got the chicken tender meal and a peach sweet tea. The peach sweet tea was really good. The dipping sauce I got was the siracha garlic. Wasn't bad. I felt like everything could have been fried a tad bit longer. Give it more of a crunch. My friend got the free chicken sandwich that you get when downloading the app. He also got the atomic dipping sauce. Hard pass on that. The flavor was absolutely horrible. I do not recommend it. Stay away. It tasted like "da bomb" from hot ones. Just hot. No flavor. To get an extra dipping sauce it is $1.00-$1.50 extra. read more

5/5!!!! I was excited for slim chickens to open! I have never been before, but I do love me some chicken tendies! We went thru the drive Thru today after our Costco run during lunch hour, it was a bit of a wait but it moved pretty fast! We had the hungry meal which is 7 chicken tenders, Texas toast, fries 2 sauces and a drink. The food comes out in a nice box and was hot, fresh, delicious! My husband and I LOVED it and ate everything. This will be a major temptation on our weekly Costco trips. read more

You're stepping into the south when you visit this quaint little restaurant!!!! They have chicken cooked just right, the chicken and waffles are to drool for and dessert in a cup that you get to keep just adds to the nostalgia of when I lived in Tennessee! It's a brand new location so their drive through times are a little on the long side but it is worth the wait! Everyone we encountered was professional and knowledgeable about their menu and had good suggestions as far as what to order for our first visit. Prices were actually very fair for the amount of food you get. 10/10 would recommend and will be visiting again! You also get a free sandwich if you download the app!!! How awesome sauce is that!!!! read more

Not bad. I tried their chicken wrap. They overdid it with the BBQ, and I couldn't exactly taste the chicken because the sauce was so powerful. I will try again and see if, maybe, I can get the sauce on the side instead. read more

Drive thru Saturday afternoon. Order taker was pleasant. Service was fast enough for hot food ordered. A chicken sandwich, strips and kids chicken strips, all with fries. Chicken is moist and tender. The coating is good. For it's good, much like a McDonald's fry. Nothing g bad to say. read more

I usually don't like these chicken strip places because breast can be soon dry, but not Gere, I was shocked. Been trying different sides and sauces, and even the okra is good. read more

This was our first visit here and the food was great! 9/10 - Chicks Meal Delicious three piece chicken meal served with fries and Texas toast. I got the gravy as my dipping sauce (based on another Yelp review) but was disappointed as it was pretty bland. I went back and got the cayenne ranch and it kicked it up a notch and made it super tasty. 8.5/10 - Chicken Club sandwich Chicken patty was on the smaller side (so 8.5 rating) but it was very tasty. The bun was soft and buttery, lettuce fresh and crispy, and bacon cooked just right. 9/10- Chicken and Waffles Waffle was buttery and paired very well with the crispy chicken. My 11 year old is super picky but really enjoyed this combination, which is a win in my book! 10/10- strawberry cheesecake jar dessert This was a pleasant surprise as I wasn't expecting much. The soft cheesecake, light whipped cream, fresh strawberries and brown sugar crumbles was the perfect end to a great meal. Also... you get to keep the cute mason jar it comes in. Peach tea is sweet and refreshing and definitely worth a try! read more

Friendly staff but not very organized. Tried Slim Chickens yesterday with my roommate and was not impressed. Chicken was rubbery and not flavorful, mango habanero was more sweet than spicy. They also gave my roommate a chocolate shake after she ordered an Oreo shake and they gave me a coke when I asked for Dr Pepper. Not very fast paced for a fast food restaurant and the disorganization does not help. read more

Food was OK. Nothing to write home about and the chicken strips and fries seem to be cooked fresh. They had moderate flavor to them. All served in a nice fresh basket. Service was fantastic, no complaints there very helpful. Ambience was fun and wide-open. It seems really geared towards the lunch crowd and kids. But it was very clean! Large booths and table and chairs in the dining area. I'll go back for an affordable lunch. read more

Went in for lunch on a Saturday with hubs and we tried the chicken club sandwich and the only salad on the menu with fried chicken plus a side of coleslaw and a side of potato salad. They have a bunch of sauces on the menu and it looks like fun so we tried the honey barbecue for the sandwich and regular ranch and habanero ranch for the salad and fries. The main courses were very good. Just what you would expect from a fast food chicken place . The chicken was juicy and well cooked with the perfect crispy crunch of fried chicken. The coleslaw was just how I like it with plenty of dressing and flavor. The potato salad on the other hand was lackluster. Only complaint was that the little cups of sauces were tiny and half filled. They charge extra for more than two little cups of ranch for a big salad while the salad was delicious and full of flavor. A tiny bit of ranch just wouldn't do it. You need a lot more ranch on a salad of that size. Fortunately, the service was great and they gave us two extra ranches for free. read more

I've been watching this place being built the last few months and it finally opened I think a couple weeks ago. I decided to go after I left Costco. So my take on this is it's just another fast food place-- nothing special. I ordered the chicken sandwich meal. My chicken sandwich came out a bit greasy on the bun, but the chicken itself was tender and tasted OK. My fries were a little cold and they could've been cooked a little bit longer and needed a little bit more salt. I'm not big on fast foods in the first places anyway so this will be a one and done for me. read more

Really liked this place! Stopped here for lunch before going to Costco. Got a 5 and 5 and just a separate order of 6 lemon pepper wings not a meal. Definitely a heavy meal but if you're in the mood for chicken, a great place to eat! read more
