    The beef cake ambassador strikes again I don't even come here to eat anymore, I show up just to witness Carter, a man built like a rotisserie chicken's final boss, handing out meals like he's assigning side quests he passed me my order and my drink started blushing, my fries stood at attention, and the bag felt heavier like it absorbed some of his muscle mass through osmosis, because Carter isn't an employee, he's a walking protein commercial. Also doctor pepper is out what a shame

    Wings & fries  Also ordered chicken & waffles which was yummy and affordable!

    Service was friendly and fast! Great but simple menu. Clean and FUN! Milkshake was thick and tasty!

    The verdict is still out on Slim Chickens as it was good. Tasty chicken strips, fries, and a chocolate shake. Smaller portions than the competition and more expensive. Not ruling it out just yet....

    Chicken Club Sandwich Meal
    Judy S.

    Decided to try out the new guy in the South part of town-Slim Chickens. Decided to do a quick drive thru for lunch. Love that they have a sign with a QR code so I could pruse the menu before getting up to the order window. Decided on a chicken club meal and a cayenne ranch Sando meal. The cayenne Sammy needed to be "dressed" when we got home (added tomato and cheese) the chicken club had the fixings. The sandwiches were good-8/10. Will go back and try their wings.

    A Hungry Meal. Seven chicken tenders, Texas toast, fried okra, and fried mushrooms.
    Sandy Y.

    Lunch at the new South Reno Slim Chickens was a very nice experience. Parking is easy, and there is a drive-thru if you're in a hurry. We chose to eat inside and were greeted by the friendly staff members. Ordering is easy, and they have lots of choices. We decided to split a Hungry Meal with an extra side (because we couldn't agree on one). The meal included seven tenders, our choice of sauces, Texas toast, and a drink. We choose fried okra and fried mushrooms. The service was quick, and the food was hot, and not at all greasy. We had to wait a few minutes to let it cool, which gave us a chance to enjoy our perfectly tart lemonade. The staff came around and checked on everyone to make sure they had everything they needed. For a Quick Serve restaurant, it was very enjoyable. I recommend it when you need a quick and tasty meal.

    So.good!

    I have been to this location several times it has been consistent with its a low quality product and it's disappointment. The food here whether it's in person or drive-through seems to be overcooked and cold . The service here seems to be nonexistent. The staff here is just going through the motions. There isn't any connection or real customer service. The ambience is basic with nothing impressive or different about it. I was really disappointed, and was really looking forward to a fantastic regular spot to frequent since this is right down the street from my house. Unfortunate. .

    The Chicken Strips at Slim Chickens.
    Elizabeth S.

    To be fair, I only had the Chicken Strips (To Go), so it's the only food item I can review. The chicken was cooked well, but there really was nothing special or unique about the breading. I did like that there were alot of sauces to choose from. The Korean BBQ was good, although very sweet. I thought the staff was friendly. The young lady that took my order was especially friendly and helpful, which I appreciated as this was my first time here and not at all familiar with the menu. The restaurant looks clean and has a very nice color scheme and decor. I would definitely come back to give it a full dine-in experience.

    4 piece chicken tender meal
    Jennifer H.

    I really enjoyed the chicken tender meal. The tenders are lightly breaded cooked to order, and served with fries, toast, and a drink. This is a counter service restaurant with indoor and outdoor patio seating. After placing your order the staff will bring the food to you at your table. The dining room is pleasant with high ceilings and lots of light. Overall it's a good fast food experience. We also like the fact that the menu has lots of options.

    Grant H.

    A nice addition to the Damonte Area, with lightly breaded chicken. There are a lot of other goodies in the display case to complement your chicken. The toast was actually a nice touch with the fries. There's outdoor seating for your pets if you decide to go there after walking them in the park. Service is good, and the food is made when ordered. You should definitely check it out as there are a number of fried chicken/chicken tender places to choose from in Reno.

    William C.

    Great addition to the Damonte Ranch area! Brisk business on opening day and the service team top notch. Service team kept busy making meals, cleaning dining room, delivering meals and checking on customers. Chicken sandwich came with a ranch sauce which is delicious. The Tender Mac Bowl is delicious. The addition of the chicken gave the Mac-n-cheese just the flavor boost it needed. Chicken and Waffle is good, but the waffle lacked that crunch that I was looking for. Decor is fantastic and the dining room neat and clean. Drive thru has two lanes. Outdoor patio allows for your best friend to join you for lunch or dinner.

    So this was the first time having this. In my travels I have passed the sparks one a handful of times and have said I need to try that. Well they put one closer to my hs so even better. Me and my son went to get some dinner . Was immediately greeted when walked in. Carter J who helped us get our order was amazing and attentive. The place is very clean and nice . We both got the Classic meal which comes with 4 tenders , toast , Fries and we opted for Lrg drink for the collectors cup. I believe limited time while supplies last. Plenty of options on sauces and also drinks . Soda and like 4 different Teas too. The staff was great. It didn't take long for our order either. We took food home and ate and the chicken was cooked perfectly and was tender and juicy. Toast was really good toasted just enough and buttered nice. Fries were cooked good too not soggy or over done. Everything was really good . Can't wait to try some other stuff. Glad they are in the south end of Reno close to home. Enjoy !!!!

    Slim's Meal with Fries (Regular)
    Mare H.

    We tried Slim Chickens for the first time last week and it was delicious! It was honestly better than Cane's. The dipping sauces are all great. We tried the Slim's Sauce (our favorite), Buffalo, Honey BBQ, Spicy BBQ, & Cayenne Ranch. The fries were hot and crispy even after the 10 minute drive home. We ordered and picked up in the drive-thru. It was fast and we will totally be coming back. PS...you can't go wrong with the milkshakes!

    Terribly dry. I wouldn't even consider one of the tenders a tender, just breading. I won't be back.

After looking over their menu we decided to give it a try. They have a good variety of non-wing items to choose from. I decided on the Awfully Midtown (an homage to the Awful Awful?) It was a LOT of burger with a HUGE side of house made fries. The burger was good and the toppings and the bun were fresh. Melissa, our server, did a most excellent job of matching our preferences to our order. The bar area is unchanged from when I was last there when it was the Gas Lamp. Upscale dive vibe. Would make a return to try some of their other sandwich choices.

The wings were great in size and the seasoning was good. They were offering Thai Tea for $3 at the time and it was pretty good too.

    Came here for a generous Yelp event; and of course, we have to continue to support. :)…read moreSorry for such a late review... But we have been here a few times since I wrote this, so the feedback is from all the visits. Quality/Quantity - 21 wing flavors! Got ten wings to go. The Malaysian Curry and Korean Kick. The Korean Kick wins! I also think because the Korean Kick was not a rub, it was a juicier wing. But all were very good. Oh, I also got 3 sauces. The 3 sauces I got were: Honey Mustard, Buffalo and BBQ. Again, all of which were good. But the wings did not really need any dipping sauces. My wife really liked the honey mustard. It was her favorite. She also liked the buffalo sauce which had a little vinegar in it. On a separate visit we came for their Wednesday bone in special; see picture. 10 wings for $9.50. The two flavors we got were the Malaysian Curry (again) and the Dragon. My wife liked the Malaysian Curry flavor better. They were both good to me, but I would prefer an even more pronounced taste/flavor. Again, the wings were of generous size. Owner suggestion - I recommend improving "to go" orders. And have perforated boxes so it does NOT create condensation and make the deep fried crispy foods soggy... And if possible, use aluminum foil rather than parchment paper for easy re-baking the next day. Also available are - Sandwiches, chicken fries (fancy), chicken strips, salads, sides (too many to name), kids and family size meals, etc. Atmosphere - Larger than I expected, see pictures. Indoor and outdoor seating. Table or bar, etc. The bar was not utilized. What goes better with wings...? Beer of course! Get those taps back! Open 7 days a week, from 11am to 9pm or 10pm. See my picture, Yelp, or their website. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Jen was amazing, a one woman army. Because it was not busy, she kept me company while I waited for my order. And on Wednesday, I met Taylor (middle name Lee!) who was just as professional and personable. Service here is a 5!! Oh, the owner's daughter was here today to help the team also. She was too busy in the back for me to talk to. Price - The first ten piece wing order was $15 + a generous tip. Wednesday promotion: Two orders of ten piece wings for $9.50 each + tax, etc. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success here for the last 3 years, since 7/2022. And congrats on all your other businesses: 168 Asian Mart, etc...

The sauce is rich without being too heavy and the meatballs are so juicy and delicious. It comes with bread for dipping and I love the crispiness against the warm sauce. I ordered the apple and fig chicken sandwich which was bomb! The chicken was the best part! But it had arugula, red onions and apples, both red and green. The fig mustard and Brie were amazing. This is one of the best sandwiches I've had. I also got clam chowder as my side which was also really good, not too salty. The service was really great! Any of the servers who saw we had empty glasses refilled them or cleared plates. There is a beautiful outdoor patio area, it was about a 30 minute wait. There was no wait and plenty of space for indoor dining and bar area.

Although I have yet…read moreto patronize this restaurant for other than a work gathering, if I am in the area and looking for a spot to eat, Twisted Fork would be high on the list. Airy and bright atmosphere, lots of windows and outdoor patio seating on those nice days. I tried the grilled cheese with short rib and homemade chips. The ribs were tender and the sauce savory. It was a little light on the cheese for a grilled cheese sandwich. I expected a pull of cheese when biting it but it was more like a splattering of shredded cheese on the short ribs. Flavorful overall and the bread toasty. My coworker had the Twisted Bahn Mi vietnamese sandwich. Now we are both from Northern CA and had plenty of vietnamese sandwiches there but let's do a side by side. Starting with the bread. Twisted version was a softer hogie kind of roll. Where traditional viet sandwiches use a baguette roll with a crispy outer crust and firm inside. The meat. Twisted version had shredded pork, more like pulled pork. It was slathered in a korean style sauce. Traditional viet sandwiches typically use grilled meats without any sauces. The condiments. This is where both Twisted and traditional are similar and different. Shredded carrots, daikon radish, cilantro, mint leaves are similar. What's different is the heavy use of shiracha aioli in the Twisted and traditional using pork liver pâté with mayo. So am I saying the Twisted Bahn Mi is bad? No, just stating it is not the same as traditional Bahn Mi and better to know than to be surprised. Would I order it, no because I an used to traditional. The grilled pork belly and bacon mac and cheese appetizers were great! I would consider those two as my entree! If you are in the area, give Twisted a try.
