    Cayenne Ranch Chicken Sandwich

    I stopped on a bus where I was riding with about 50 others, they were able to handle that volume of people decently well, we spent 45 minutes to an hour stopping. The food was decent, a bit worse than its competitors nationwide (like Cane's and Guthrie's) but still solid and the best in the area. The milkshakes are amazing, I recommend the Oreo if you get a chance!

    Oreo milkshake, fried pickles and chicken sandwich

    Walking in I had higher expectations based on the yelp reviews for the food. The staff was wonderful and clearly things are made to order, but the food was ridiculously salty and the fried pickles tasted like nothing but salt. The pickles flavor barely overcomes the salty batter. The chicken in the chicken sandwich did seem to be a freshly fried breast; but again it was very very very salty. The bun was dripping with their mayonnaise sauce - just excessive. While a cute little place, not really worth the stop. At least the shake is made in house and helped cut the salty burn in my mouth!

    Chicken and waffles

    Food was good tenders are much smaller than they use to be but service is always good. Tried chicken and waffles today because it was Wednesday $5.99 for waffle 3 tenders and a drink is a great deal.

    4 pc classic meal.

    Stopped in to check it out since I was in Pikeville for work. A short walk from the hotel. Had a few other options, but decided to give it a try. The restaurant was clean, well lit (not blinding bright, but not so dark you can't see what's in front of you) Person at the counter was friendly, took my order and I sat down. in a short time, matter of 7-8 minutes, my food was delivered to me. Chicken pieces were decent sized. About 4-5 inches long. Hot, fresh form the fryer. French fries were plentiful and also very hot. Also came with two slices of Toast. I picked the Mango Habenero sauce for dipping. A touch of sweetness from the Mango and some zing from the peppers. The chicken had good flavor, but the pieces were not as Big as a couple of chains, Canes, for example. But, still good flavor. Price was around $8 for the 4 pc meal and a drink. All in all, it was good and worth the walk and the money.

    Hungry plate with Mac n cheese

    I was in Pikeville for a couple nights and staying at the Hampton Inn, and wanted to find a place within walking distance to eat. I lucked out and found a restaurant I'd never heard of before less than a mile away, and I'm so glad I tried it. For my family of four, I ordered two hungry plates and an additional side. It was more than enough food for the four of us. The chicken tenders are excellent, and each plate comes with two dipping sauces. We ordered the Korean BBQ, ranch, honey mustard, and Slim sauces. I liked all of them, and it really comes down to personal preference. They have a ton of sauces to choose from, which I think is awesome. So much better than the one sauce for all, a la Cane's. One reason I liked Slim Chickens so much better than other tender restaurants is because they have so many more excellent sides. We tried the fries, mac n cheese, and fried okra. All were pretty good, but I'm always in for fried okra, and it definitely didn't disappoint. If they had Slim's in Lexington, I'd be there all the time. Service is wonderful and you'll love having all the choices they offer. If it's nice out, I highly recommend the outdoor seating. It's kinda close to the road but most of the time you won't even notice. Pleasant atmosphere out there. I'm giving the place two thumbs up. Way up.

    Love slim chickens. I have had it in several Location. After I placed my order I was standing at the counter watching the kitchen and watch the cook with his rubber gloves on reach into the sauce bucket after shaken a customers order and feed his face with his glove hands and reach back into the bucket to put their order in the go container. I was Disgusted for all the years that I have been in the food industry most would've been fired on the spot. With what looked like the manager next to him and two other kitchen help no one said a word I am not from Pikeville but I hope the rest of the restaurant don't do this as well

    I had chicken and waffles, the chicken wasn't great, however the waffle was to die for. Should be called "Slim Waffles"
