    Patio w lights and fans. To hot today to use but nice and clean.
    Chris J.

    I was very impressed. This was my first visit to slim chickens. The store was so clean. From other reviews I see it has been open about a year or so. The wings were far bigger in my opinion than others had rated them when they opened. I got the 3 wings and three tenders. My mom did as well and my dad got the four tender plate. They have a huge selection of sauces. The food came out fresh and hot. I got my wings tossed in Buffalo sauce and blue cheese and slim sauce on the side. The slim sauce is a peppery Mayo/ketchup based sauce. Very good. The fries were seasoned well so no need for salt or pepper. The Texas toast was good. There was a hint of garlic flavoring the bread. My mom ordered their signature dish of strawberry shortcake in the glass jar. It was very rich. I would like to try their grilled chicken strawberry salad w the vinaigrette and pecans. The whole crew was super. The cashier taking my order was very patient as I had a few questions being that it was our first time here. A few people checked in to see if we were well. Drinks are self serve I just had a soda but my dad enjoyed the peach tea and my mom the special lemonade. They also offered raspberry tea. All in all it was a great experience. I will go back. They had a patio but it was too hot when we went a bit over 90 to try that out. Very impressed here.

    Extra Crispy Fries.....WELL NO
    Marco C.

    So i wanted to try this place a couple months ago and was pleased with the tenders but the fries were soggy. So next visit i asked for well done fries so they would be crispy(i saw it on the ticket) so all good right? Well, they were extra well done alright, just not the fries but the tenders. Like jerky! Which leads me to today. Had to pick up something at and decided ill give them a try and explain the crispy well done fries. Repeated myself at the drive thru. There was even a guy taking payment outside. I told him about my problem with the crispy well done is NOT for the tenders but for the FRIES. He calls it in. I hear on his radio yeah got it. Feeling good now. Got to the window asked again crispy well done fries and it was assured to me. I get home and sit down at the table and GEEZ those tenders were dark and well done. The fries soggy. I just dont understand. Why this is even being served. How does this company think that status quo for fries is soggy? SMH. Its a real shame too since their tenders are really good... Side note you might be able to fool people in Oklahoma thats Texas toast. But when you serve a thin piece of toast the size of a slider here in Texas and call it Texas toast you should be ashamed!!! How dare you! The Diet Coke was ok.

    Crispy chicken sandwich
    Ronnie C.

    I was over by there and I noticed the line in the drive thru wasn't that long. I ordered a crispy chicken sandwich and 3 tenders. No meal or drinks. It was just under $10. And it took about 10 minutes to get the food. The food was hot. The tenders were a little tough and very thin. The seasoning was fair. Not much breading so I guess that's where they get there name. I got hot sauce with it and it was good and hot. The bun on the sandwich was soft and good but again the chicken was very thin and a little dry. Will I go back? Probably not. At least not go out of my way to return.

    I really wanted to like Slim Chickens, we even sat for 40 minutes in the wait line for our order. When we got back home and started distributing food, we realized only one of the orders was correct, and every bit of food we got was soggy and cold (we live about 8 minutes from Slim Chickens so the commute home was not the issue). The fries tasted stale, and the two wraps we had (which we didn't order) came with two nugget sized "tenders" each. I was so looking forward to the Korean BBQ classic meal and ended up with a wrap that I can't even describe the flavor of (most definitely NOT Korean BBQ). I'm giving them 2 stars simply because they're new and I hope they redeem themselves. But being completely honest the cold soggy chicken and stale fries left us very unsatisfied. You'd probably be much better off trying the new Hawk's chicken Waco location.

    Oreo Cheesecake Dessert

    We were so excited to try this new chicken place and we were not let down! Love having so many options for those of us that don't just want tenders. The Buffalo ranch wrap was delicious and the Oreo Cheesecake dessert was a perfect ending to the meal! Can't wait to come again!

    Mummified chicken wings
    Hefe C.

    I wanted to give this place a try but turned out to be a major disappointment. These wings were sooooo dry. No good calling the restaurant because no one answers even after multiple failed attempts. Waste of money and way more better options for wings in the area. You'd think with as much business as they're doing these would have been edible at the least. No more for me.

The special was good, my boyfriend loved his CFS. However, the waitress, Maya I believe her name was, very blatantly was flirting with my boyfriend. I am always the one that speaks for us when we are eating and I am always polite, I attempted to do so and realized she is looking at my boyfriend, smiling and looking in his eyes. I tried to speak to her a couple of times and she was just cheesin it up to my bf. Not looking at me at all. I don't consider myself insecure, we've been out to eat 100s of times, and this experience was a first. There's an acceptable amount of that, but Maya was a bit over the edge. If Ms Maya wants a bigger tip, she needs to stop flirting with people's men. He may have paid, but I decide the tips, and I often pay. It would be to her benefit to stop flirting with customer's men, and start looking at the lady at the table. It's good business and manners!!!! Learn some morals, friend!!! and flirt with your OWN MAN, not other women's...ffs. Thirsty much???

I've been in there when it was wall to wall people and never had to wait when Rosa was waiting us. If her section is full when I come in, I will wait until one of her tables/booth becomes available. I urge her other loyal customers to do the same!

    Amazing timing led us to Magnolia Table when they opened for dinner at 4 pm! We ordered the burrata…read moreand focaccia that tasted as if it came fresh from the oven somewhere in Italy. Served with a perfect burrata with green pesto that was most divine- fresh as can be. Mocktails are always my choice and there's a blackberry mocktail made fresh intensely flavored berries that's a wow. So being from Oklahoma my favorite meal is fried chicken and mashed potatoes. We split a plate and we were not sorry. The perfect little chicken gravy pitcher- piping hot- w a generous helping of sauce served two easily. For desert there's an extensive selection ( including strawberry shortcake) but we opted for just plain latte made impeccably. Congratulations. You've really made America's best restaurant imo! We loved it. Coming from NYC we are spoiled for great food. But you have a 5 star accomplishment in this place. Perfectly wonderful. A million thanks-- what a memorable meal!

The atmosphere is beautiful, the restaurant is clean, and the staff was friendly and attentive, so no complaints there. As for the food, it was just... okay. It wasn't bad by any means, but it also wasn't anything that made me think the drive or the hype was worth it. Everything tasted decent, just pretty average for the price. I expected to be wowed, but instead it felt like a solid breakfast spot with great branding. If you're already in Waco, it's worth checking out once for the experience and the ambiance. But if you're making a special trip just for the food, keep your expectations realistic.

The Burger was good but the steak bowl was very disappointing. It was $19 but the portion was incredibly small, I think it was one of the most expensive items in the menu, if not the most and it was really small. I had to share my burger with my mom bc the portion was so small that she was hungry after eating it. Other than that, the service was great. Way too overpriced for what it was. We kind of regretted going, especially because so many people recommended us to go.

In particular the deviled eggs and Brussels sprouts caught my eye, unfortunately the latter was sold out so I went with the sweet potato Both dishes I had were really good! The candied bacon paired really nicely with the creamy deviled egg, the hot sauce vinaigrette didn't add too much flavor, but honestly adding a significant amount of heat would've probably taken away from an already very tasty dish. The baked sweet potato on the other hand had a nice dose of heat from the Calabrian honey vinaigrette, the sweet heat combo worked really, I'm surprised I'd never come across a spicy sweet potato dish before, but I'll definitely have my eye out for it in the future Overall I had a very good experience and will definitely be back for future rest stop meals between Austin and Dallas!

We were greeted as soon as we walked in and directed to choose a table of our preference. The waitress quickly came over and grabbed our drink order while we looked at the menu. We placed our order and the waitress was very knowledgeable and able to answer our questions. She also informed us they work as a team so we can stop anyone when/if we need something. We started with the "Burning Bush" appetizer (crispy Brussel sprouts w/ lemon garlic aioli). YUM! They had just the right bite to them, and the glaze on them paired with the aioli was delicious! For our entrees we had the Golden Calf Burger w/ sweet potato fries and sriracha aioli and The Weight of Glory Sandwich w/ broccoli slaw. They were both incredibly flavorful and fresh! You can tell they locally source their ingredients and prepare them onsite. The portions are also plentiful, and we left with a takeout box. To round off lunch we tried the special mousse on the specials board (coffee flavored cheesecake mousse). It was so delightful we dug in before I could snap a pic. Just enough coffee flavor paired with chocolate sauce (not hersheys ). The big windows allow for a lot of natural light and lends to a welcoming and warm environment. We will for sure be back and bring others!
