Slim Chickens

I first discovered this restaurant on a Family Trip in Florida, I was super excited to see them again on a quick Family Road Trip in my home State! It was as delicious as I remembered and the service was great!

Yippee. They redeemed themselves! The first time I ate at the Athens Slim Chickens, here is what I said. I gave them a 3 out of 5. "Not all Slim Chickens are the same. I often eat at the one in Huntsville and it's great. But the one in Athens was not up to par. The tenders and fries were both way overcooked and tasted like they were cooked in old oil. It wasn't pleasant. I think the workers need more training. Since I normally really like this restaurant, it's great for kids, and this one is local to where I live, I will return another day to see if they can do better." I returned at a later date as promised to give them another try and here is my new review and gave them a 5 out of 5... "I had a great meal. Service was very friendly, food cooked perfectly, and delivered hot in record time. I am putting this place as one of my top fast food places to eat where the food is great at a very reasonable price. Bring the family and enjoy."

We had an emergency today! Lol Our son's football team needed catering for their game. It was very last minute and we had 70 kids to feed in a few hours! I looked online and it said catering required a 12 hour notice. We definitely didn't have that amount of time. I called up there and the staff was so gracious! One of the ladies stayed past her shift to help make the food. We can't thank them enough! They were all so kind and helpful!

While we come to this spot often with no complaints, we waited quite a long time this afternoon for... no chicken? Ordered a friend chicken wrap and didn't receive any chicken in the wrap. $27 for two meals. One was literally just tortilla, iceberg lettuce, and shredded cheese

First time visit. Coupons in hand. First impressions - clean, well lit, parking, service. Tried new Big Dill chicken sandwich meal. Bun - score, good size juicy piece of chicken - score. Had some fried and regular pickles and pickle aioli. We agreed the pickles flavor got to be a bit overwhelming halfway through. Found some of the fresh pickles a bit chewy. Fries - score Tried fried mushrooms. Very nice, tender with Ranch for dip. Score Plan on going back to try other chicken sandwiches and sides. Off to a good start.

The only reason why I gave this review three stars is because of the customer service. It was phenomenal. Shout out to the older gentleman who works as a cashier. He made the experience great . And he sure knows how to sell a meal. I asked the cashier if the food is cooked to order, and he said yes, it is . So I went outside to wait. My food came out in about 3 minutes. I was on the go, so I ate it in my car . When I bit into the tenders, it was hard to bite through the batter portion . To make a long story sort . These guys had tenders already prepared, and all they did was redropped it in the grease... making the texture of the chicken tenders hard as if it was reheated in the microwave. I was highly disappointed spending over 30 plus dollars on my wife and I's meal. Idk who's in the back cooking . But you guys need to take a break and evaluate. BTW this was yesterday around 1:45 p.m

I wasn't overly impressed. Most of our towns have way too many chicken places. This one does not stand out in any way that makes me want to visit it more often than any of the others. I think they should offer chicken that's a little bit more healthy and with vegetables. That's really what I thought it was based on the name. But, it's just more of the same, fried, fried and fried chicken!

They are always friendly and fast. By the time we get our drinks and get back to our table, they are already bringing our food out. It's been that way every time that we've been to this location. Even dealing with the heat from the AC issues, the staff was still smiling and friendly. It's probably the best Slim Chickens location that I've ever been to.
