Hungry Meal
Charles P.

These are the BEST CHICKEN TENDERS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!! EXTREMELY JUICY AND INSANELY FLAVORFUL! Don't trust the haters, these are better than canes, chick fil a, popeyes and churches strips, breaded to perfection!!! 50/10 blew my mind!

Jennifer Nicole G.

My grown son's choice of quick service chicken establishments and they killed it today! I hate to say we've had a rather hit or miss experience with this place and fortunately today was a hit!!! Order was well prepared, accurate and ready for pickup as promised. While we got takeout today and his typical order (cayenne ranch chicken sandwich), I can attest to a clean and well decorated interior! We are sissy's treated well, greeted upon arrival and just a great experience today! Thabks Slim Chickens Rio Rancho!!!

Supposed to be a Strawberry Cheesecake Jar Dessert. Gross

Ordered through Door Dash and this is what I got. It wasn't DoorDash that did this because as soon as he picked it up, he brought it right to us. I tracked him. I called the store to complain and she said oh let me look at my other desserts and she said oh yeah, they all look the same, gross.

Chicken tenders with slim sauce, and Cayenne ranch
Lorelei P.

First time here. My family and I wanted to try and eat inside, but the door was locked so we went through the drive-through, which is still OK because it wasn't a long line like it has been for weeks. The wait wasn't that long in the drive thru, which is a plus since again it's our first time here. We took a little bit of time to look over the menu and we finally decided we were just going to order the chicken wings with sweet red chili, which was very good and chicken tenders with the side sauces of slim sauce and Cayenne ranch. I highly recommend the cayenne ranch that was very tasty. We will definitely be back again. I don't know when the lines will die down but hopefully the next time we come, it's not so bad.

Another chicken place worth trying. Reasonable prices. Super quick and friendly service. The restaurant is nice and clean. Plenty of drink options too. The chicken is good. Very tasty. The usual salty breaded chicken tender. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The wings are also good. Small pieces and the buffalo sauce is the light orange creamy type. Not a lot of flavor but decent. Here's where it misses greatness. This place is all about the dunking sauces. Their sauces are OK but I think even Wing Stop has better quality and flavor. Worth trying. Average overall but sometimes that's OK.

5 & 5 Meal
Carlos O.

Pretty good overall I'd say. Food was fresh and the fries were seasoned well. A little salty but that's okay with me. Ordered the 5 piece chicken meal. Was pleasantly surprised and glad we took the drive over from Albuquerque to try it. Will be back if we are ever in the area. I'd say it's comparable to Hurricanes and a bit better because of the sauce varieties offered.

3 & 3 Meal & Chicken & Waffles, It rate this 8/10. The sauces weren't spicy at all
Jessica V.

Service & food were great. The sauces weren't spicy at all but very flavorful. Overall, great !

Advertised Crispy Chicken Sandwich
Debbie S.

Slim Chicken literally! Good customer service, line moves fast, food is good with a variety of options and sides. Downside was my chicken sandwich was the thinnest chicken sandwich I've ever had in any restaurant in Albuquerque or Rio Rancho. I'll be back but I won't order a chicken sandwich I'll probably try tenders next time !

First time here and definitely won't be my last! I ordered the 3 wings and 3 tender meal with slim sauce and ranch. The garlic bread was toasted perfect and I can actually taste the garlic. The chicken tenders had great seasoning in the batter, wings (Korean bbq) delicious with a kick and the fries are crisp. Sauces taste homemade. So happy this is close to home. Can't wait to try the other items!

Long lines
Denise R.

Fast food chicken. Not really expecting much but decided to stop and see what the whole hype was about. Yes the line is very long but it moves pretty smooth considering. Staff was very friendly directing traffic. We have never been to Slim Chickens before so I couldn't decide which sauces to get so i got 2 10 packs of sauces and we mixed and matched. We ended up loving the sweet red chili, sriracha garlic, spicy bbq, garlic parmesan and the mango habanero sauces the best. We did try both chicken tenders and wings. Both were decent for fried chicken but could have used more seasoning. Glad for the sauces. The fries were decent, not something to write home about. The fried pickles were good, not too soggy. Should have eaten them first. We will definitely return. Hopefully when it's not so busy.

Today's menu
Lynn M.

Just opened up today..went inside as the drive thru line was super long !!! Ordered the 3 tenders/3 wings meal (and substituted Mac and cheese for the fries)...tenders come grilled or fried ..a very light batter on the fried tenders. They had a light flavor and were moist. Wings were properly cooked and well sauced. Mac n cheese was cheezy gooey !!! Another light flavor. Texas toast was buttered well and crisp !!! Lots of sauces to choose from, both to sauce the wings and dip the tenders into !!! I'll return for more. Posting the menu for others...

Buffalo wrap with fried tenders other option is grilled chicken. Spinach tortilla. Lettuce and tomatoe.

First time and service and employee in drive thru was super friendly. We order a 5 piece chicken strip meal and was enough for 2 of us.

This was our first time at turtle Mountain brewing and it did not disappoint! My dining companion…read morewas craving something from another restaurant on the other side of town, but considering it was so late, I suggested coming here as it had similar things on the menu, and I am so glad I suggested this place. We walked in, and the place was a little crowded, but we were still sat pretty quickly. I liked the atmosphere of the place because it seemed very open, inviting, and had a certain local charm to it. As soon as my dining companion saw the people around us getting their food delivered it looked so good she no longer remembered what we came for and we ended up ordering something completely different. We didn't wait long for our waitress to come over. She was very nice and attentive I asked her for a drink recommendations, and she mentioned some good ones. Considering the day before was New Year's Eve and I probably should've took a break from drinking, I said say screw it and got something light. It was a blood orange cider, and it was delicious, I was not expecting it to taste like that! Unable to make our minds up, we decided to split a salad and pizza. For the salad I wanted to get the Valley grande, but we compromised and got the brazos which was essentially a Caesar salad. That's how it was huge. We had enough to share and more, it was also tasty, the dressing. You could tell was definitely house made. For the pizza we decided to get a split half truchas and half chimayo (my half) and it was amazing the flavor was great and the topping fresh. Although next time I will ask for well done. On to dessert. The best thing we ordered all night was the Apple calzone. It seemed to be the size of a little football and came with two scoops of ice cream. I could tell it was made to order and it was absolutely delicious! We cannot wait to go back.

amazing food! amazing service! extremely loud horrible…read moremusic!!! look at your demographic people of the tm!!! hello!!! it's not about you it's about us!!! we are seniors and families here!!!

Let me start by saying I USED to come here a lot. I must admit as well, that was a long time ago…read more I imagined that I could expect the food to be just as good as I remembered it, but it wasn't. Made a visit back recently with some friends on one of our girls nights out to catch up. The visit was great, and I am glad that we get a chance to get together every month or two. Just not sure we'll pick O'hares again. I ordered a cup of the french onion soup and the sliders from appetizer menu. The french onion soup was good, I can say that. The sliders is a different story. They came with six sliders. That was literally it. Meat and bread. Nothing else. No cheese, no garnish, not even sliced pickles. That alone was $17! I was shocked when I saw the bill! You can typically order a burger with all the fixings and fries for that price or less. Our service was fair. Our server was nice enough and checked in on us. But the food was very underwhelming. I wouldn't recommend them, but you could may have a better experience than me. Just don't order the sliders! Then, to top it off, after ordering dessert, we are chit chatting and finishing our drinks. We slowly start to notice that the servers were grabbing their purses and heading to the front. Apparently they had been closed for almost 30 minutes but no one came to inform us that they were closed for the night! LOL! Silly place.

I used to eat here on a regular basis. But that was probably 15 or 20 years ago. I went back…read morebecause I remembered what it used to be like. It has changed obviously over the years. I got a salad and it was OK but very expensive. Looked at the menu and didn't really see anything that looked bad but didn't see anything that really jumped out. Overall, I felt like the place was clean and the service was good. Everybody was nice. I just felt like the food was average and overpriced. There are too many options for me to want to return here. Your mileage may vary.
