    Today was definitely a hot and fresh day at Slim Chickens! The young guy at the register started the visit off a little shaky, giving incorrect information about the menu/order, but Ms Becky stepped up and provided great service. Once seated, our food came out piping hot and fresh! It was pretty cold inside, so although the weather outside hasn't warmed up just yet, we decided to sit outside....bad choice lol (the wind was crazy and blowing everything over so inside we went to endure the cold). We didn't need any more assistance but were told twice to ask if we did (positive, not a negative. They were attentive). My only "ding" is that the tables didn't seem to be as clean as they could've been...slightly greasy and streaky. This is also NOT what I've come to expect every visit (the food being this hot and fresh) but I'll give props when they are due.

    For fast food, Slim Chickens is top notch. I affectionately refer to it as "The Side Chick" because it's right down the road from the other chicken place, and it's newer, better quality food, service is fast and accurate and the delightful staff always tells me to have a blessed day! The menu consists of chicken strips, wings, salads, sandwiches and wraps. Nashville hot is an option for the chicken, in addition to fried or flavorful grilled chicken. Chicken and waffles is also on the menu. The sides include things like fried okra, fried mushrooms, potato salad, a really good side salad, creamy macaroni and cheese, and of course, fries. If you're craving dessert, they have milkshakes and delicious brownie pudding and cheesecakes in reusable jars. I eat here about once a week because it's so close to my office. Everything I've tried has been enjoyable and cooked to perfection. The Side Chick is definitely God's other chicken, and I love it too!

    (Update 8/6/23) Normally I love Southaven's Slims Chickens, but I was disappointed in the customer service by one of the teenagers in the drive through window. Normally everyone is sweet and extra polite! Yesterday's girl working was rude. The food was okay this time around.

    Missing my extra bread

    I decided, I would run and do curbside pick up for one of my favorite quick fixes. When these guys first opened I could not get enough of them. As time passed the quality just keeps getting worse. At first they just kept leaving items out of my meal. Here lately the chicken has been getting smaller and tasting old. I always get the same thing (Creature Of Habit) I get the Hungry Man Meal (Because I'm A Big Boy) and I usually add two extra pieces of the Texas toast. I also add two sauces (Love The Spicy BBQ) I did the curb side pick up tonight. When I got home, I opened my box and sure enough they forgot one of my toast. I think one reason they always leave things out. Is because they are so busy trying to fit everything into the one box. They use to put the extra stuff in a separate small box. This was not a deal breaker. I didn't need the extra bread anyway! As I started to eat...... I realized very quick that the chicken was ice cold and rubbery. This is not the first time its been this way. I think they get so busy, they precook chicken and warm it up as needed. I have gotten the chicken when it was crisp on the outside and juicy in the middle. Those days seem to be getting far and few between. Its sad..... one of my favorite places is slowly falling off my go to list. One upside is my tea was great! The food was not horrible or anything but they barley deserves the three star I gave them. The one thing that saved the meal was the dipping sauce. I love their sauce flavors. I hope this is just a phase and they get back to the way they were. I got my wife her usual waffle with no chicken. She said it was very good. Sum It Up: Curb Side Pick Up = B Employee Friendliness = B Correct Order = C- Chicken Meal = D- Waffle Meal = B+ Presentation = D

    This place hit on all cylinders for me except for one... They were busy as hell. The line moved quickly. My cashier was really polite and efficient. The place was clean. It seemed it was very well ran from front to back. The food flew out of the kitchen to each and every table. All orders I witnessed, including mine, were perfectly delivered as ordered. The food was hot as fire when brought to me. It was as fresh as any food that I have ever been served. They may have been the best cooked chicken tenders I've ever had. They were just short of undercooked, but managed to be completely cooked throughout. They were so tender they fell apart while trying to dip them. The fries were quite tasty, frozen fries, but whatever, so are everyone else's. I could go on and on about the positives. but... I just don't like the seasoning/breading/marinade. I don't know what it is but I am not a fan. I'm not sure what it could be beside the spice Dill in the chicken. I hate it, like really hate dill weed. I'm no food guru so I could be wrong. I do know I won't try it again. Even with the Sweet Asian sauce I could barely get over it, but I ate all four tenders. I was pretty hungry and I'm also cheap and hate wasting money. So I ate them all... Fat man problems! Call me strange. Beat me. Whatever. I'm not a fan of the tenders. By me some... prove me wrong, I guess if they are good I'll recant. I'll be back for some wings to see what's up with that. Great Job Slim Chicken! Fantastic execution!

    Chicken club sandwich
    Bryan J.

    The food is always good, the service is always friendly, and the atmosphere is kinda... the tenders are a bit more salty than other brands, and they have a ton of unique sauces that you can use for dipping. I did get the chicken club sandwich, and me being a bigger feller, it didn't really fill me up, it did taste great though, with that farm fresh mater on it. They also have unique teas, I suggest the peach tea.

I got the chocolate shake to take home with me but it almost didn't make it. The shake was thick and good. The service was excellent. The young people were friendly and attentive to customers. I was greeted when I walked in the door and the young man patiently walked me through my options when I had questions or needed to take my time to decide. The place was clean. Lots of seating room inside with a great casual vibe. Perfect for family night, dates and groups.

I had the three piece dark chicken with the sweet potatoes casserole and mash potatoes with gravy. The mashed potatoes had quite a few lumps and everything kind of gave a powdery taste (gravy, casserole, and mashed potatoes). When I say powdery... I'm saying that it just wasn't giving "homemade". It's not intolerable but it's not what you look for when you go to a soulfood restaurant. I also wasn't a fan of the wait. We have some made to order items so it was understood about the 20 minute wait, but we didn't get our food until almost an hour after paying. The extra time waiting seemed to be due to fried green tomatoes not being made in tandem with the fried chicken. As a result, everything was luke warm by the time we got the food. It's truly sad because the flavor is definitely there.

The catfish is made to order, was perfectly crispy and well seasoned. Definitely top 3 catfish meals for me in the area. The mac and cheese was some of the best I have had. It was creamy and savory, it wasn't too fatty and had a firm texture. It was definitely the highlight of the meal. The green beans had a bit of a mushy texture but I really enjoyed regular green beans. The meal comes with a side or cornbread which was filling , fluffy and sweet. Fantastic soul food for me. The banana pudding was also delicious. You can also actually taste banana not just sugar. The people working there were honestly so kind and chill. They knew what to recommend and added to the dining experience. My only criticisms come with how some of the food is prepared for example the green been texture being on the mushy side is likely due to it being presented similarly to a buffet. I was also unable to have a whisky due to the bar being closed however it was 2pm on a weekday. Overall great experience

    1 Star - We Came for Dinner... We Left With a Story…read more My girlfriend, my mom, and I came to Dale's Restaurant in Southaven expecting a nice dinner. What we got instead was an unexpected exercise in patience. When we sat down, the place wasn't very busy, so we figured service would move along pretty smoothly. Unfortunately, our table seemed to be skipped multiple times. It felt like we accidentally sat at the "invisible guest" table because staff kept walking past us and forgetting what they were supposed to bring. While waiting, they brought us sweet tea and cornbread muffins. Now listen... I like sweet tea as much as the next Southerner, but this one was so sweet it felt like it skipped tea entirely and went straight to syrup. If hummingbirds ever open a restaurant, this would probably be their house drink. The cornbread muffins were an adventure of their own. They were very dry, spongy, and unusually sweet -- almost like someone confused cornbread with dessert. Imagine expecting cornbread and getting something closer to candy. That's the closest description I can give. The atmosphere didn't help the situation either. The vents above the dining area looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a while, the walls felt bland and lifeless, and several tablecloths were torn. Along the bottom trim where the wall meets the floor, it looked like there was some serious wear and possible moisture damage going on. After waiting long enough and tasting what we had, we decided to call it. I spoke with the manager, who did apologize and told us not to worry about the bill, which I appreciated. That was probably the best part of the visit. At that point we decided to leave and find dinner somewhere else.

Our waitress was very attentive and all the waitresses did coffee rotations so we were always good on drinks. The food... delicious! The fried potatoes were cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. That gravy was just like I make at home and perfect. The biscuits were nice and the monte crisco was the best we've had! Really, our only complaints are the rice grits, they just didn't go with the meal well, and that my omelette was supposed to have chorizo, but they did sausage instead. Not a huge deal because it was still good. Try their breakfast out! We'll be back for dinner.
