Slim Chickens — Restaurant in Tyler

Favorite place to go for some chicken tenders! The variety in dipping sauces is a big selling point, though. The sauce options are plentiful and include multiple types of BBQ and the usuals plus some variety like Mango Habanero and a Spicy Sweet Chili (if I'm remembering that name right.).

Also, don't forget about their app, you can get a free sandwich by setting it up (at least when I did it) and you can scan your receipts to eventually receive a credit to use as a discount for a purchase, which is a nice bonus.

Atmosphere is great and the employees have generally been super friendly and helpful. I've even made a mistake on an order before and they corrected it for me, which while appreciated I didn't necessarily expect it.

Only difference I would like to see would be allowing me to reuse the large plastic cups they offer for a discounted price on future visits, similar to other places like Dickey's or Which-Wich.

Overall, if you couldn't tell, I think this place is great. It's been a regular dinner location for me since I've moved out here a few months ago and I easily recommend it to friends...

I came here a couple weeks ago, went through the drive-thru, and ordered an 8 wing meal. When I got home, it was an entirely different order so they clearly got it mixed up. Fortunately, I live relatively close so it wasn't the biggest inconvenience, but it was certainly annoying.

I get back to the restaurant, go through the drive-thru again and explain that they gave me the wrong order and that I paid for an 8 wing meal. They apologize, take the wrong order, and hand me another order. I should have checked it on the spot because when I got home it was a 6 piece meal. I wasn't going to go back.

I called the store, spoke with the manager, and they offered a free 8 wing meal next time I came in. I took them up on that offer the following week and everything was great. My rating is a combination of the headache from the first visit and also their willingness to make things right.

All things considered, I will likely be back. They're...

I’ve been to Slim Chickens twice now. The first time, I went inside and sat down to eat. I will say that when our chicken tenders came out, they were very very hot, so that was nice, but they weren’t fantastic. The second time, I went by myself after work to their drive-thru. I had to wait until I drove about 35 minutes home to enjoy my meal, but when I did, it was pretty good still. Relatively warm too! I got chicken tenders with ranch and Slim Sauce. The Slim Sauce was good. Sweeter than I expected, but a good kind of different. Their ranch was amazing. I got a sweet tea and a lemonade with my meal. The sweet tea was great and did not last long at all, but the lemonade tasted metal-y. Like drinking out of a garden hose as a kid. I’m not sure if it was their water? I see myself going back in the future because I like chicken and it is close to my work, but I don’t think I’ll get another lemonade...
