I ordered a 3pc tender meal. It was around $12. The service was ok and the food had a good taste. Seasoned fries, buttered toast, bbq chicken. It's not too much different than other chicken tender spots. My food was not as hot as I'd liked it to be and the tenders were small but I was still satisfied. The restaurant is bright and clean as well as the restrooms! That's a plus. read more

This was my first experience and my last. how do you mess up two orders when I told you I was the first time customer do not go to this place read more

Ordered and picked up lunch for my coworker and I. I ordered the 3x3 which comes with three tenders and three bone in wings with fries and a drink. My coworker ordered a chicken salad. The fries were hot fresh and crispy. The chicken tenders were crispy and flavourful. The chicken wings were good and sauced well. I had low expectations as I've had them when they first opened and i was disappointed, but wanted to give them another try. Service was quick, and the gentleman taking my order at the drive thru was polite. read more

Glad Saint Louis has one. Chicken is good and their ice cream is good too. I wish I would try them more!

If you have been to a PDQ chicken on the east coast this is exactly like it. Brioche buns, tons of sauce choices and good fries. Chicken sammys were good just not the largest chicken piece. Overall would rather come here than other chicken fast food spots. Definitely get the slim sauce it's bangin. read more

I'm very confused about the low stars on this place and I'm choosing to assume it's because of when they were new. If the food and service today has been this way, there should be a line to eat here. 1st visit, opted to go inside vs drive thru to have time to view the menu and surprised to see such a variety of options. The gentleman working the counter was also bringing food out to the patrons and keeping the dining area clean. As he hustled, he was so friendly. Off his suggestion, I ordered the Chicken Club on Toast vs the Bun (do this), Fries and Mac n Cheese. Side of Cayenne Ranch plus a drink. The space is comfortable and inviting to eat in, several table options depending on your group size. Beverage station is self serve and I went with 1/2 Cut Tea, sweetness on point. My food was brought to me and at 1st bite of the Mac n Cheese, I already knew I'd be getting a 2nd one to go home! Chicken seasoned and cooked well, the toast was great and the bacon was crispy! Dip your fries in the Cayenne Ranch, it's actually not spicy but it just taste good! I live no where near here, maybe a 25 min drive, but I will come back on purpose! read more

Not bad but not great, I can't handle hot spicy food and I got the wings with Buffalo sauce, I think it was red food coloring and butter! Other than that it was good. Also had some tenders. They were dry like some of the other reviews claimed. The sauces were good. That having been said we got the food to go, it was a large order, and brought it back to my work so I ate probably 15-20 minutes after it had been cooked. My fries were soggy and limp by then and the box it was in was wet cardboard!!! They need to change those boxes unless they get them for free! Didn't go inside so I can't comment on it nor did I meet the staff so... probably won't go back, it was ok and I can get that any where. read more

This is my favorite chicken restaurant. The cayenne ranch chicken sandwich is a show stopper! Plus the fries are pretty great too read more

Really great catering!! We had the food catered for a company lunch, and everyone was really happy with it. All the lunches were packed and included sauces. The only note was every container contained a different (2) sauces but none of the packaging was labeled to know what was inside. It would be awesome if the boxes could have the sauce stickers on them to know what's inside given some are spicy, etc. This was my first time trying, and I definitely want to try on my own! read more

Slim Chickens - Chicken tenders, chips, Chocolate Chip Brownie - Southern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

The 3rd time we have tried to order from this restaurant. Go to the drive thru. No greeting. Two groups of people drive thru the other lane AFTER WE HAD ARRIVED and are attended to. Third time we have left the drive thru here without ordering. Their customer service is not only terrible: they are rude. Arkansas locations of Slim Chickens are so good. This one is one of the worst fast food locations in Saint Louis. Absolutely awful - and trust me - they don't care. read more

Late evening I wanted some food. I hadn't been to Stim Chicken in quite some time. They are open inside until 10 pm and the drive thru till 12am. It wasn't busy when I got there. But a rush soon came. The young lady took my order with a smile. I decided to try the tender combo. The chicken could have been seasoned better. The fries were good. The dipping sauce made up for the lack of seasoning. There were tvs to watch. I got a chance to see some of the game. The well kept restaurant is a nice place for yelpers to eat. The place is very inviting and comfy. read more

Slim Chickens - Tenders and fries combo - Southern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

We have the Slim's app and had been texted a deal. The deal was: 25 tenders for $25 if you order on the app. Since we are cheap AF, we ordered just this to feed everyone on our way out of town. The online order said it would be 10 minutes so I ordered in the parking lot and we headed in to get our order. The "10 minutes" turned into nearly 30!!! After waiting for a bit I went up there to check on our order and the guy at the counter was like, "Oh, you're the online order." And still continued to wait some more. We finally got our order, it was hot, so that's good. Most, if not all of the tenders were teeny tiny. 25 for $25 means $1 per tender and in our opinion, most were not worth this price. The MORE shocking aspect was that the normal price is $39.99 for 25. So normally they are $1.60 per tender. I don't know if maybe when they have these "deals" they give you the tiny tenders to cut down on their "profit loss." We were expecting with 25 tenders, we wouldn't be able to finish them. Not only did we gobble them down, we broke into our road trip snacks to feel full. Other than the lengthy wait and the tiny tenders, the sauces were not accurate either. Instead of 4 of my favorite cayenne ranch, we were only given regular ranch. (Sigh) I was looking forward to the spice. So all in all... the whole experience was something less than desired. read more

I just did a quick drive thru for lunch. Had the cayenne chicken sandwich and a side salad. Both were tasty. Serve at drive thru was quick though there were no other guests so should have been. No idea what ambiance inside is, but outwardly looks pleasant enough. read more

Waiting for a online order that was supposed to be ready at 4:15 the order isn't ready and they claimed they were making new wings for its been 15 minutes and it's still not ready Not sure how a drive thru wings place can't make wings in under 15 minutes but I guess certain things aren't a priority at this location read more

I've tried the food three times now and it just isn't good for the price, and the portion sizes are super small. This is the side of mushrooms, which is almost 7 dollars. This was the entire order...I haven't touched any of it. It feels really crazy and unacceptable to be charging that price for this quantity. read more

Pretty impressed with this for a fast food chicken tenders place . The inside was super clean. The staff was very nice. We got a to go order for five people and they got everything right. We got an extra side of pickle chips and okra . Very surprised on how much we got . All in all a pretty great experience read more

Service terrible - workers had an attitude and food took forever to be brought out. Me and a few of my friends were the only ones dining. Horrible. Food - Holy shit worst fast food ive ever eaten. Ordered a tender Mac bowl, instead got a bowl of rubber topped with chicken shit. Best part of this meal was the large water. read more

We were in St. Louis coming back from an event and everyone was hungry. It was later in the evening so our choices were limited, but Slim Chickens was open and our grandson said it was good. And they have a drive thru! There were several cars too. The menu is large with a lot of chicken options. Hubby got a wrap and grandson and I ordered the bone in wing meals, which came with fries and Texas toast. He had the Korean barbecue and I had the garlic parmesan. I liked how they used shredded cheese instead of powdered. The wings were done well and everything was good. Only subtracted one star because they were out of iced tea. We would definitely come here again. read more

We ordered chicken tenders and Buffalo wings. The chicken tenders were delicious, seasoned and tender. I am not a chicken tenders person as I prefer bone in but will order again. The milkshakes were also very delicious. The Buffalo wings were okay but I will be back for chicken tenders. Nice, spacey and clean venue. The service was very friendly as well. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Love Slim Chickens but tonight was absolutely awful. As in, I've never had an experience this bad. Anywhere. I truly hope this is an anomaly as I've had countless positive experiences at this location. Writing this review because it really was that bad. It was strange from the start. The person taking my order was arguing with a co-worker over the intercom while talking to me. When I pulled up to the line, there was only one car at the window. No one even talked to them until at least 10min into the wait. Then, that car didn't move for over 20min! This is absolutely not an exaggeration. When I finally got to the window I was told there "was a lot going on with the kitchen." My food was cold, cold. As in, I had to wait until I got home to eat so that I could microwave it. A positive is that the person at the window was calm and polite. Feeling for whomever had to deal with whatever situation was happening tonight. What a mess! read more

Delicious fast chicken. Need I say more. Unfortunately, yelp is going to make me say more because I need 85 characters lol.

Honestly I thought it was tasty and it was my first time. We got the 3-3 combo and the wings were tasty with the garlic parmesan. The Buffalo chicken wrap was also tasty. For fast food, not too bad! read more

3rd times not a charm. Went here first week they opened which was honestly the best experience I had here albeit a super long wait. Tried again a 2nd time, and my 3rd and absolute final visit was tonight. Just absolutely no reason to go here vs the other fast food chicken joint down the street in Maplewood. The workers all act like they could care less, and more importantly the chicken strips are TINY. Not only that, on the most recent visit they were most definitely old and dried out. The fries were cold too. I wanted to like this place, having a much broader menu, variety of sauces, and options for sides....but it falls way short. read more

Slim Chickens - Tiny chicken tenders - Southern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I have been wanting to try this out for weeks now and decided to come today. I have heard many reviews of the food but was uncertain if it was something I wanted to bargin on. Well, I can say so far is the Buffalo Chicken sandwich is pretty tasty! It isn't hot or too warm. It is more lukewarm/cold. Not sure if the buns and veggies made it this was but if you want a hot chicken sandwich this won't be it. Well mine wasn't anyway. The Mac and cheese was ok. Cheesy and cold as well. The cheese they sprinkled on the top wasn't even melting which just goes to say it wasn't warm enough to melt it. It was ok, I put in Microwave and warmed it up and added pepper and it was really good! The flavor is on point for everything it's just the temperature that it was slacking in. The workers were standing around chatting while I was waiting but prompt with the service. Will give it another try another time to see if maybe it was the day or standard. read more

The food when they first open was good. Like they actually cared about how the food looked and tasted. Now it's okay. Sometimes my wings are well sauced and sometimes they barely have any. I just hate when I order through DoorDash or even there app it's a gamble on if your gonna get everything you ordered. Service is okay. read more

I LOVE Raising Cane's and I'd seen this as I drive on Hampton. Tonight I thought I'd try it and got a 3 tender meal with fries, Texas toast, and lemonade--the exact meal I get at Raising Cane's. I liked the Slim Chickens lemonade, but the rest I'd give to Raising Cane's. Slim Chickens was good but not good enough. Maybe I'll try them again but order something else as it seems like their menu is bigger than their competitor. read more

Slim Chickens - Southern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I've seen the lines so I wanted to check it out. I went at an off time when there wasn't a line. It was fine. I got some chicken tenders, fries, as well as wings. The tenders I'd rate below Raising Caine's and it wasn't as fast. I also love the Texas Toast at Caine's. I liked that it was tenders more than the nuggets at Chick Filet, but they are so fast they are in a league of their own. The wings were good but not great, a nice treat as you don't get them at most fast food establishments. I saw a lot of the reviews complain about the staff. They were perfectly courteous when I was in but there was a feeling of malaise. Maybe it was just the weird (3pm) time I was in. It just wasn't as sharply ran as Chick Filet or Raising Caine's. read more

I will admit I've never written a review for a fast food place, but this experience was so uniquely horrible that I felt morally obligated to share my story. I am writing this after my fourth and hopefully final visit. I work late, so when I get off, the options are this place, Steak and Shake, or McDonald's. Hence, my returning multiple times after bad experiences. I will say the food is fine. It's probably not as good as Cane's but it's open later. Their main selling point is they've got a bunch of sauces to choose from. They have a good housemade (at least they say) ranch. However, it took me three visits to get it. On my first visit, instead of ranch, I got barbecue sauce. No big deal, honest mistake. I didn't think much of it. I'll just get the ranch next time. Now, I blame myself for this folly. Fool me once, shame on you, but fool me twice... This time I had my heart set on the ranch. Even ordered an extra one for 60 cents for a total of three cups. I know I should have checked to make sure before I drove away. But in my wild excitement, I didn't check the bag. It wasn't that they gave me the wrong sauce; they just didn't give me any sauce at all. Now, I was getting irritated. I was not going to make the same mistake three times. On my third visit, I made sure to check the bag and confirm ranch in the box. It was confirmed, ranch secured, mission accomplished, headed home. I opened up the ranch to find the saddest excuse for a half pour of ranch in each of three cups. I bet it came out to a total of a cup combined. Robbed. I learned my lesson. Confirming ranch presence was insufficient. I needed to confirm the ranch cup of volume as well. So on my fourth visit, when I likewise received a ranch cup filled a third of the way, I was sure to point it out. It must be a mistake, that can't possibly be an extra 60c sauce serving. Maybe I got a fluke, I assumed. The lady at the window was irritated that I asked, but confirmed that "that's just how we fill 'em". And that if I want another one of those, it's another 60 cents. End of story, period, window closed. So that was it. I tried so hard to accept and forgive the mistakes. I really wanted to like this place because at 2:30AM my options are, well, slim. But this saga drove me out of my mind. Dont take the same path I took. Be forewarned and stear clear. read more

How is this place so bad? Seriously, absolutely nothing about this experience was good. I waited 55 minutes from driving in to getting my food. Halfway thru the line I got my drinks (Diet Coke) and it was BAD. Like I can't even explain the taste, like a mix of diet coke, Dr Pepper, sanitizer, mildew, poison, who knows. I got someone to refill and it came back identically to the first. Just dumped them. At some point half the staff comes out and takes a smoke break. Not to mention there are about 60 cars in line. I just cannot imagine what is happening inside that store, but there was this tall man in a pink suit doling out apologizes and bags of food who I assume was the manager. I don't know whether to pity him or blame him. 30 mins later I get my food, finally, and the order is completely wrong. The receipt had my name on it with the order (literally just 2 chicks plates and some sauces), but in it is a sandwich, no sauces, and a box with some of the sloppiest fried pickles I've ever seen, almost floating in grayish grease. I give it back, complain, wait another 15 mins, get a bag of food and I just leave. 10 mins later, i get home and find out there's no sauces, and it's like the food was left out for 3 hours. The chicken was dry, the breading was moist, the fries were cold, damp potato noodles, the flavor was it was so bad my trash would have thrown it back up if it could. We complained to their corporate line, got a $20 certificate out of it, and I just threw it away. Seeing the reviews as of late it doesn't look like they've improved in the last 3 weeks. It seems to me they just hire anyone, train no one, and have no sense of hospitality or customer service at any level except corporate. Raze this place and replace it with a Zaxbys (which still isn't as good as Canes down the road, tbh) or even Lee's, or a freakin subway, and it'll do the community a service. read more

I was excited to learn that a new restaurant was entering the neighborhood. Researched Slim Chickens and discovered it is a chain restaurant. What attracted me to this place was the southern sides, late night hours, and the variety of choices. My first attempt was a fail. Line was wrapped around the building. Ummm....NOPE! Take two was better. The next day at 10:00 AM I ordered online for an 11:30 AM pick up. My food came out hot and fresh to my curbside spot at about 11:35 AM!! Save the frustration. Order ahead. I loved the potato salad and okra best of all. The potato salad had so much flavor! Both sides maintained their structural integrity which I totally respect! Especially from a fast food restaurant. Highly recommend getting a side of gravy to dip your toast in! DIVINE! The Mac and cheese was def better than "cafeteria" Mac and cheese but I still didn't love it. Too thick and too sharp of a cheddar taste. With some at home doctoring this could be better. My brownie dessert was cloyingly sweet and not particularly southern but I like that I now have a cute little slim chickens Mason Jar. I've also got a keeper cup that features St. Louis landmarks etc. RAD. The best is not saved for last, unfortunately. What should be the star of the show, the chicken, was NOT! It wasn't very tender and was far too salty and skimpy. Is that what they mean by their namesake? The chicken was indeed slim! Overall...Slim Chickens gets a 3 star review due to the variety of options, ease of online ordering, price point, and taste. Next time I intend to try the wings and fries. I'll keep y'all posted. I ordered: 1 x Chick's Meal (1 x $7.59) = $7.59 1 x Slim Sauce 1 x Large 32oz Keeper Cup: (1 x $0.50) = $0.50 1 x Lemonade 32oz Keeper Cup 1 x Fried Okra (1 x $1.49) = $1.49 1 x Potato Salad (Regular) (1 x $2.79) = $2.79 1 x Mac & Cheese (Regular) (1 x $2.79) = $2.79 1 x Sweet Red Chili (1 x $0.29) = $0.29 1 x Gravy (1 x $0.29) = $0.29 1 x Cayenne Ranch (1 x $0.29) = $0.29 1 x Chocolate Brownie Pudding Jar Dessert (1 x $5.49) = $5.49 SUBTOTAL $21.52 TAX $2.10 TOTAL $23.62 K byeeeee. read more

Slim Chickens - Slim Chickens keeper cup - Southern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

My spouse and I ventured to Slim Chickens for an evening snack. We had seen the constant construction updates as we drove down Hampton and were excited to see that they had opened. I'm a big fan of Cane's and Slim Chickens seemed pretty similar, so it was must try. We arrived at the drive-thru where the employees waved us through to one of the two drive-thru lanes. At the beginning of the line, there was a place to scan a QR code for the menu, so that was really helpful. The trouble started once we got in line. The line was moving... so... so... slow. So slow that there were many cars that hadn't ordered who just decided to go elsewhere. You could clearly see why the line was moving so slow. There were about 10 employees that were just roaming around aimlessly. They were either talking with the other employees or slowly completing their tasks. There were only one or two people working on taking orders. The way orders were taken seemed a little inefficient as well. There was one person taking orders, while another person would run around putting sticky notes on the cars with the person who had order's name. Why not just allow the name to be inputted while the order was being taken, along with a description of the car. The person that took our name also spelled my spouse's name wrong, even after she spelled it out a few times. We ended up waiting 40 mins from getting into the drive-thru to getting our food. As for the food, that's probably a slight redeeming factor, the reason I didn't give Slim Chickens a one star. We ordered the 3 & 3 meal, which came with 3 tenders, 3 wings, fries, Texas Toast, two dipping sauces (we got Slim Sauce), and a drink. Everything except the wings were mediocre. We got the garlic parmesan wings, and they were pretty darn good. The wings were crispy and had really great flavor. I'd honestly go back just for the wings and nothing else. Lots of kinks to work out, especially on the management side. I'd give them another try, but maybe in a month or so. read more

I'll start off by saying the guy at the window was super friendly, smiled the whole time, and had great costumer service skills. We had a mix up which was my fault and the manager was so frustrated, rude to the worker, and ended up throwing her hands in the air saying "just give it to her". The guy opened the window with a smile and very politely gave me my food and told me to have a good day. I wish I caught his name, he deserves a raise! read more

Ordered on the app so was able to get it pretty quick. They did forget sauces we added which I was really bummed cause it was the slim chicken sauce and I wanted to see if it was worth going back for the sauce alone. The sandwich was alright was slightly dry could have used more of the ranch Mayo that comes on it. Also my boyfriend upgraded his side and still received fries, Which was a bummer but I got the large mac on the side so I had some to share. Mac n Cheese was pretty good very thick cheese. Overall since it's new and open late I'll probably go back hopefully they will have some of the kinks worked out by then. read more

I decided that I wanted to try something different. I've avoided fast food for 6 years and decided to break that and go through this drive thru to see what they have but just to get a soda. I was behind 2 people in line to order - they both ordered but the line didn't move for me to place my order for 20 minutes. I couldn't back up because a truck had pulled in behind me. Once I finally got to the speaker to place my order I decided this wasn't "fast food" and I wouldn't be breaking my rule since this was anything but fast so I was gonna order a grilled chicken wrap. Plus, you know they are slow when you are greeted with "did you want to get out of line or place an order". Interesting sales pitch. I ordered, moved up... not enough for the person behind me to order but moved a smidge. Then I got bored...I noticed cars leaving the line. Lucky ducks. I also noticed they had curbside pickup. Hmmm, 2 cars were waiting there - wonder how long they were there. And then I also noticed the friendly blow up waving on the side of the parking lot trying to lure people to visit. Then about 25 minutes later it's like everyone woke up and started working. 2 people brought out the meals for the cars in the curbside pickup spots and the jeep 2 cars up from me paid and got his food right away and then the car in front of me... same thing. I noticed the time. 7pm. I wonder if everyone had taken a dinner break at dinner time and then they all came back to work together. Nice team mentality however... So was it worth the wait? Well my wrap had no sauce so it was a bit bland. And I THINK there was mold on my wrap. I attached a photo you be the judge. I know wraps have those strange spots but honestly I never paid much attention and yet this just popped out at me. On a positive note the diet Dr. Pepper wasn't bad. Will I go back? Nope. read more

I've been hearing about this place since they opened. I've heard nothing but good things so I had to give it a try. I got it delivered through doordash and everything traveled well except for the toast. I ordered their tenders meal with fries.

TL;DR - Good food, pretty poor service. The menu has good options and nice selection of sauces. Food came hot and flavors were good. Don't go if you're in a hurry - took 15 minutes to get our food and they were not very friendly or welcoming. read more

Don't plan on going here again. We ordered wings, tenders, slaw, potatoes salad, chips and a vanilla shake to be delivered. Food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Tenders and chips were good.
