Reviews for Slim Chickens in Mankato, MN
Very good food!! Made to order! Hot and fresh! I've been there 4 times now and the consistency is spit on every time. Great... friendly environment. I ordered the classic chicken sandwich meal and it was around $9.00 also try the fried pickles..absolutely the best in town! Read more
Two stars only because they just opened like a week ago and hopefully will iron out some of these issues going forward. Lets... start with the good : the chicken strips were good, hot, seasoned well and juicy although on the smaller side and the lemonadewas good, appropriately tart and refreshing. That's where the good ends unfortunately. The dining room was SMALL, extremelycrowded, loud and a booth at the beginning of dinner rush was being taken up by employee(s), one in uniform anyways filling outpaperwork. The tables and bankettes were DIRTY with no sign of anyone making the slightest attempt at wiping them down betweenguests while COVID is still a thing which was absolutely shocking. The food beyond the chicken strips was TERRIBLE. The friesarrived cold and grossly underseasoned with barely the slightest taste of salt and potato. The deep fried pickles were severelygrease laden, cold and soggy upon arrival at the table. The sauces... where to start with the sauces? The slims sauce wasabsolutely bland. Maybe low quality ketchup and mayo mixed? The "garlic Sriracha" had no garlic flavor to speak of, was somehowcloyingly sweet and tasted like ketchup, corn syrup and Sriracha in the worst possible way. The "parmesan garlic" tasted likeItalian salad dressing (the vinaigrette type). The "Korean BBQ" tasted like thin bbq sauce with that same gross sticky sweetSriracha flavor found in their "garlic sriracha". The honey mustard was again way too sweet and one dimensional. My advice?Just skip the dip all together because it really ruined the flavor of the chicken which on its own was quirlte good. Male sureto hit the drive through as well, the dining room is just gross. Management made an excuse of not enough staff when confrontedover not cleaning booths and tables in between customers... when we walked in and were standing in line to order there were atleast 3 employees standing around behind the counter waiting to run food the entire time we were waiting to Read more

We went to Slim Chicken's at around 4:30pm. This is the first week being opened. So you can imagine is was busy! In our party... of 3, one of us went ahead of the line to get us a table, which worked out great. We perhaps got there just a the right time. We then ordered our food. There is no doubt that they have a very good tasting Boneless Chicken Wings and they offered somedesserts and 4 different types of hand blended shakes. But what makes this place so impressive for being so new....is the welltrained staff and the world class service!!! Hats off to the hiring and training of your staff! Many employees had a beautifulsmiling face. I felt truly cared for! They are handicap accessible, a nicely priced kids menu and a double drive through lane.The bathrooms were clean. Sometimes I saw a line for the bathrooms as they are both single lockable rooms. We will be back. My friend loved the chocolate milk shake. Read more
I can't believe my mouth! I'm sitting here during a crazy busy time, comparing this to the likes of Chick-fil-A and Cane's. ?... Food: Starting with the chicken, spectacular! This is a very thick, well-seasoned chicken breast that's super moist andperfectly crispy. This is where most restaurants err by failing to give the breading flavor. Slim's nails it. I went with theCayenne chicken which was nice and spicy, but not too hot. Frankly it tastes like it's beer breaded which is just fantastic.Complimentary sauce that gives the kick, FRESH, crispy premium pickle slices, soft brioche bun, crispy friend onions. The friesare reminiscent of Five Guys. Fresh cut, natural, crispy and tender, slightly thinner. The mac n cheese is VERY cheesy!Definitely tasting three different cheeses in there. Noodles are just a tad overcooked, but it's hard to hold mac n' cheese longwithout getting that result. ? Drink: I beelined to the lemonade and was glad of the decision. This is frozen FRESH, notconcentrated shelf stable junk. Perfectly sweet, yet not cloyingly sweet like Chick-fil-A. Next I tried the peach tea. It'sgood, also not too sweet, fresh peach taste, not a really dark black, more a moderate strength. ? Options: Almost too many, butI'm glad for the variety. Keeps it from being boring, yet not confusing. ? Customer Service: Again comparing to Chick-fil-A,stellar customer service. Staff constantly coming out to the table to check on you, give refills, offering to-go boxes, andensure satisfaction. Keep it up! ? Speed: For as busy as they were, the speed was quite good based on the food prep. Took about6 minutes to get my order. ? Price: Not as much as a regular sit-down restaurant, on par with restaurants of similar design.Naturally I wish it was a bit cheaper, but the value is strong based on what I've experienced. ? Final: This is my first visitand I very much look forward to future ones. Couldn't be more happy and I can't wait to try all the sauces! Read more

Went for lunch on opening day, so they were pretty busy. It took a little while for the food to come out, but it was good. More... like Kane?s then Chick-Fil-A. The chicken and macaroni were both delicious, the fries were pretty average. I tried the slimsauce, it was pretty mild and had a kind of mayo/ketchup taste I didn?t really care for it, but they have a ton of differentsauces to choose from. Read more
Went there with family of 5. Mostly got tenders. One got the chicken and waffles. It's good. About $9 for 3 tender meal... (bread, fries. One sauce and a drink). Good atmosphere. Good flavor. Good service. Slim sauce was OK. Has lots of saucechoices. Fries were very good. Clean. Not wow, but a good option compared to competition. Service was fine. Read more
