Slim Chickens in Cheshire West and Chester

The portion sizes are generous, but the prices are quite high compared to similar restaurants. Hygiene standards could use improvement, and unfortunately, the taste of the food is underwhelming. Most of the sauces are overly salty, making the overall experience disappointing. I won’t be returning.

Chicken was overcooked and meal was lukewarm at best. The burger was about the size of a chicken mayo, bathroom corridor smelt like sewage. Wouldn’t return very disappointed.

My daughter wanted to try here on a recent visit to Cheshire Oaks. It was very busy with it being a Bank Holiday Monday and we had to wait around for a table. The Queue to order at the machines was huge as 2 of the machines weren't working. We eventually got a table but under most of the tables, it was dirty and not being cleaned. No refillable drinks as the machine was broken, so was given cans instead. The chicken was nice. Well cooked and we all enjoyed it. We had a burger, a kids meal, a tender meal and a tender/wings meal. Nice choice of sauces. In my opinion, quite overpriced. Spent £55. Overall not bad for fast food but wouldn't rush back.

Good food, its always busy in here so feels manic but the food is relatively quick comparative to the number of customers. Atmosphere feels rushed and busy but its not really the sort of place you go for the atmosphere, its an eat and move on kind of place.

Never had toast with chicken and chips but it was garlicky so went very well. A bit expensive but I guess that's what you get sometimes. Very busy.

Slim chickens Fast food outlet, chicken is delicious, so tender , lovely flavour. Use the app to get great deals

Tried for 1st time, loved the taste- very different from usual fries like KFC. Loved the taste. Staff were good and enjoyed the bottomless drink.

The most miserable place I ever been. Incompetent and rude manager(chubby guy with glasses and dirty mouth), unable to handle the staff and a busy restaurant

Great service for a fast food restaurant. 5 stars especially for Andra 😁

I'd never been to slim chickens before, but I must say the food was fantastic!

Slim Chickens is a fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in chicken tenders, wings and sandwiches. Known for its fresh, high-quality ingredients and diverse menu options, Slim Chickens offers a casual dining experience with a focus on flavorful, crispy chicken dishes. The atmosphere is typically relaxed and modern, making it a popular choice for quick lunch or dinner.

It's ok, I'm not into this type of food. It looked clean though. Staff professional

For £15.95 I’d expect the meal to be hot. Ordered the 7 chicken tenders 5 of them were so dry and overcooked the sauce didn’t even help. Chips were cold and so was the Texas toast, my wife’s meal was the exact same so for nearly £30 worth of food to be binned is shocking plus I paid for the refillable drink for them to say the machine was broken so the only option I had was a sprite. I won’t be going there again.

The guy doing mist of the serving was very friendly and helpful but the food was a let down. As fast food chicken places go it's a poor imitation of KFC.

Typical fast food eatery but nice to have a different variety.

Flippin' 'eck this has to be the most expensive chicken nuggets I've ever had. £15.95 for 10 scraggy tidbits with a handful of chips. Disappointing.

Great, helpful and friendly team. Food was delicious

£30 for 2 meals of very small burger and a bit of chips. What a rip-off. Salty,soggy, everythinb was bad. Got it for pur kids as it was their choice. Nope,thank you not.

Asked about our bread being disformed, told it was apparently supposed to look like that.

Excellent service but I felt the portion size for the sandwich was quite small and the sauce on my sandwich was very salty. My children had the tenders meal and they really enjoyed it. Fries were delicious!

The foods not that bad but not great. It's the size for the money! One tender is as big as my lil finger and £8.50 for 4! One kfc tender is as big as all 4. Absolute robbery.

Great taste and quality Great value for money and wings ARE THE BEST

This was amazing. First time trying it and boy do we need this in Scotland or closer to where I live.... delicious

All food nice and hot. Chips very fresh but was more impressed with the chips than the chicken

Popped in for lunch, easy self service for ordering at the machine and refillable drinks. Food was with us after about 5 minutes. Went for a five tender meal with garlic bread and a BBQ chicken burger, cooked to perfection and so tasty. Would rather pay extra for this than go and get naff chicken from KFC.

Lovely clean and friendly staff .

Good service and respectful, doesn’t take long to come and amazing food

Busy place tasty food friendly staff

Very overcrowded. No attempt made to limit people in building. Food very mediocre and expensive. Better places to eat on site

Its nice but an over priced fast food place

It's good place for relaxing and eating Hamburger 🍔!

Coach stop. Excellent food, good service, lovely helpful staff

Food was amazing except the vegan options

Chaotic. 2 order screens out of order. No reciept roll in mine. Table service was good, and I liked having kitchen towel available on the bar. The chicken burger was good, but far too small for the price. Fries are not as good as five guys. Blue cheese sauce has no blue cheese as far as I could see, nice though.

Self ordering works really well, and the speed of service is very good. Food can not be faulted. Fresher than KFC.

No better place to lick my fingers clean than slim chickens Boneless bites were decent, and food was actually hot. Would recommend

Great food and service, super helpful staff and restaurant was very clean!

Chicken smell foul not great. Bad experience.

Lovely food, self service/ order at table.

Wonderful staff, food and atmosphere.

The food is nice but a bit overpriced really, their fires/chips are lovely.

Well impressed 👍 7 chicken tenders were probibly more then I needed with a milkshake and fries but much better then I was expecting. Long live M Johnson

Omg first time here, the food is amazing, cooked to perfection hot and very yummy. The staff were friendly, fast and helpful. Nice restaurant, clean, was busy but not surprised now we have experienced eating here !!

Very delicious food with nice vibes

Underrated fast food restaurant.

First time visit to the cheshire oaks branch. Felt the service was quite slow considering what kind of food was been made. My wife enjoyed her burger. I ordered the vegetarian burger which to be honest was awful. Very dry and a terrible after taste.and of course it's not meat. But after trying beyond burgers,quorn,mcartney is quite underwhelming for the price. Which I think the company should be using. Tried and tested. I was very close to asking for a refund. A shame as I had great exceptations.

Never been in , walked past it but hey doesn't stop googling asking .so it's five stars from me

Place well managed, friendly staff, clean, good food, short wait, only downside no hot water in taps in toilet, my hands are freezing.

Always walked past this and never tried. Finally did and it didn't disappoint. Slim service, well cooked food and very clean. It's like a posh KFC

Food was very nice just small portions for the price

KFC but much better! Kids love Slim Chickens, I'm glad they don't have ketchup as we had our fussy 8 year old trying new flavours. We visited on Christmas Eve and decided it should now be our Christmas Eve tradition. We can't afford to have it all the time as it's quite expensive for fast food (hubby and I would without the kids). We only usually spend that much when we are having a pub lunch etc. Atmosphere doesn't reflect the price of the food.

Rude staff. Shameful attitude towards customers. Avoid and spend your money somewhere else!

Salad box is highly recommended, had before and would have again!

The cleanliness in this place shocked me. The toilets were in an awful state: smelled horrific, one was flooded and another had tissue all over the toilet seat. The tables were sticky. It completely put me off the food and never returning again. Not that it would have mattered as the food was cold. It was really disappointing.

Sadly not a very pleasant visit to Cheshire oaks slims yesterday. The restaurant was absolutely packed which was expected due to the time of day. No clean tables so we had to do this ourselves, no staff seemed approachable through either moaning or slagging off the manager, on their phones or serving other customers food. The food itself was overcooked and near enough burnt but the manager or presumed manager did not seem approachable through shouting through the restaurant for her team. The walls were thick with food and sauces, fluids on the floor. The toilet were absolutely disgusting. Sadly, due to this experience I wouldn’t return to this restaurant but would highly recommend a visit from their regional manager.

20+ plus mins for a breakfast wrap. Food is nice but damn it ain't fast.

Food was okay - nothing to shout about, but the prices are astronomical ! Will not be eating here again. £13 for a burger meal - which was also tiny

The food was very delicious but the service wasn't because I had to wait for like 30 minutes to get my order and that is the only place that is halal.

For chicken and chips just thought it was abit expensive for what you get. I also thought it was a restaurant not a fast food place like five guys. Which obviously is my fault 😊

Tasty food, not the quickest to come out but it was really fresh which is more important to me. Friendly staff who were working hard during a busy evening.

Visited Slim Chickens today at the Cheshire Oaks Retail Village today for the first time after hearing good reviews about Slim Chickens. The first thing that caught my attention was the price of the food, I paid £13/£14 for the 3 tenders & 3 Wings meal & a Gravy. I'm not one to moan about price for the sake of it but when I start paying those prices I expect good quality food. If the quality justifies the price then I'm more than happy to pay any price! After receiving my food I gave it a taste, excited to try Slim Chickens for the first time! I was utterly disappointed to be honest with you, the tenders were single breaded, dry, unseasoned & slighlty over cooked (I assume this is due to being left in a holding cabinet for too long) the wings were hot & juicy but lacked any real taste or seasoning. The fries were decent with decent seasoning. The Gravy was excellent, full of flavour and i loved the selection of dips. My trip wasn't a complete disaster but felt incredibly underwhelming and my first thought as I started eating was that I wished I would of gone somewhere else before spending £17 on average food. Service 8/10 Food (for the price) 5/10 Hygiene (7/10)

Fast food doesn't apply here. The food itself was nice however the half an hour wait between ordering my food and receiving it, left a sour taste in my mouth...

Really tasty chicken. Absolutely love it

Great food quick service and very busy

Disappointing Service for Frontline Worker I can't speak to the food or atmosphere here, but the poor service left a bad taste. I was working at Cheshire Oaks, providing medical cover — a crucial role that requires me to be on call and available at a moment’s notice. I had heard good things about this place and thought I’d give it a try. When I arrived, I politely asked the staff how long the wait would be. Given my job and the nature of my work, I hoped they might accommodate me with a quicker order. One staff member kindly checked with her manager to see if I could jump the queue for a quick order (not a large family meal or anything excessive), explaining my situation. The response? A firm "No" — no flexibility or understanding for someone working in a demanding role. I get that there are rules, but when a business can't make reasonable accommodations for on-duty medical staff, it speaks volumes about their priorities. It's a shame because they lost a customer that day, and I'm not the only one. I doubt my fellow colleagues, who work similar demanding jobs, will be eager to support a business that isn’t willing to show a bit of compassion or flexibility. A disappointing experience, and certainly not what I’d call service-oriented!

Fabulous service in this restaurant couldn't believe we didn't need to wait for our food as the place was so busy. Food arrived about 5-10 minutes after ordering. The food was hot and to a very good standard. Would highly recommend! The milkshakes are delicious too!

I wouldn't recommend Slim Chickens. When the food eventually came, the chicken tenders were very dry, and all the food was served lukewarm. The fried pickles are very overrated and only, as far as I know, come in a single large portion size. Overall pretty disappointing and there are a lot better fried chicken joints out there I would go instead. One positive was the good variety of dipping sauces!

Brilliant service, first time eating here, but wasn't disappointed very very busy but service was great

Nothing special. Foods is nice. Not many items on the menu.

Lovely staff, good quick service. Always busy so a bit loud but that's a sign of a good family friendly fast food business. Good halal and dietary options.

The food was 10/10 until a short man walked out and started asking my girlfriend to "show sum skin". She felt very off after this interaction. I think his name was greg or something. Really needs to be sorted out. all other staff were very nice.

lucy served me in the till, she was so helpful. she made me the best biscoff milkshake i’ve ever had in my whole life. what a great experience at such a lovely store. definitely will be back.

Food served fresh and piping hot

Awful place, absolute chaos. Overpriced food, staff worked hard. I need a holiday to get over eating in there.

Our favourite place to stop when shopping at Cheshire oaks. Food is always very tasty

Been twice now and both times waited over 30mins for food. Its messy and dirty. The food is below the standard it should be for the price they charge.

Lovely pub nice staff great service!

Tried the food it was 7/10 but too overpriced Service was really slow

Dirty, chaotic restaurant and expensive, tough, chewy tasteless chicken.

Quiet when we went but I can see it being a nightmare when busy. Door was nice and fresh

My family loves the food here they are all meat eaters . I would say as a vegitarian more often than not the vegitarian option isn't available so I end up with just fries which I don't mind but best to make others aware . Service was good etc but the toilets were a let down as they were very unclean

Visited with family the outside which was just as dirty as the inside ,food left on tables ,the bin was overflowing ,liquid bin was full ,not a good atmosphere to eat a family meal with ,the chicken was really nice ,chips were not at all and the coleslaw was more of a mess in a bowl ,milkshakes werewere spot on ... Toilets oh my days !!! Dirty and toilet roll all over the floor it wasn't in the toilet roll holder they really were not pleasant I've seen cleaner in derelict houses and the smell was like nothing I've smelt before ,understaffed ,no one available to help it's non stop ,tables inside full of food yes the public are so lazy ...maybe take on a few customer service assistants to help customers ,and clear tables etc and empty bins ...2 lovely blonde haired girls came and emptied the outside bins ,definitely wouldn't visit again ,once was enough ....

The biscoff milkshake was absolutely stunning and one of the best I have ever had! However I have to give 3 stars as the food was nice but absolutely not worth the cost, It's almost double any other fast food chain and that's what this place is. To charge £3 for a pot of gravy is absolutely ludicrous, £6 for a tiny mac and cheese on the kids menu and over £15 quid for a burger with chips!! Any other fast food place is half the price and food just as good so I can't really see what you are paying for.

This place has fantastic service, amazing people, so friendly. Unfortunately the food wasnt as good as I expected. I ordered classic chicken I did not enjoy it. The chips were great and so were the sauces. The tenders were smaller than expected, didnt have much flavour and weren't crunchy.

Took I and my kids here to have a nice time Thursday 29th August and we ended up having food poisoning 2 days later. I dare not come back here again. We’ve been vomiting and stooling. 😓

Over priced chicken. Had better chicken strips from Aldi

Long line to order.waited too long to get the order.low value food for money. Do not recommend it 👎

As part of the breakfast menu, they offer different items. They didn't have most of these in stock. As they offer a bacon & egg bap on the menu and as I don't like bacon, I asked if I could have a sausage and egg bap, but they said no as its not on the menu. They could give me a plate of sausage & egg but no bap on the side either as its not allowed. If you don't have the items available, why would you not compromise on what could be offered. We didn't eat there as they couldn't offer what we wanted from what they had due to the rules. The member of staff was friendly, just couldn't help us.

I ordered plant based 3 tenders meal for £12.45 so was expecting something half decent. I’ve never tasted anything so disgusting as the plant based chicken tenders! Awful after taste, really dry and tasted like I was eating cardboard. Please go and get Quorn chicken nuggets, and serve them as these were horid. Sorry don’t usually leave reviews but felt I had to. Veggies go elsewhere. 😳

First time trying this place and everything was perfect. Clean and tidy store. Quick and friendly service, you can order from touch screens or even at your table using QR code. Milkshakes are delicious and there is a wide range of sauces to try. We would definitely return ☺️

15 quid for a miniscule average burger with fries. Not great value, ok food, won't be returning. Popeyes much better

I asked for extra cutlery and the person said we are out of stock sorry. The tables and chairs can be more clean. They clean the garbage bags in front of other people to who are trying to eat their food.

The food was great! We all loved the chicken tenders! Can get very busy!

Overpriced. Restaurant was Too dark. Waited 40 mins. Food was truly awful. Tasted so bland. They didn't even have straws. First and last time.

Surprisingly good food (if you fancy a quick bite to eat after shopping til you drop) for what is essentially a glorified KFC (don't be put off by the 'blue cheese sauce' on the hot buffalo sandwich - I took a chance and couldn't taste anything of the sort! Perfect spice level when paired with their buffalo sauce 🤌🏼). However, the establishment is let down by their WC facilities! They only have individual WCs which both men and women can use which unfortunately means that they're left in somewhat undesirable states. Clearly they don't have the staff to monitor the cleanliness so I had to take my little girl 200m out of the way to use the much cleaner Cheshire Oak toilets (after having already ordered our food - good job the husband was there to man the table and look out for our order!). Not good enough!

The meals were nice, and the garlic bread is a great touch. Don’t bother selecting ‘large fries’ (which costs extra) with your meal though, because those of us who ordered large received the same amount that everyone else did. If you want more fries, it’s probably best to order them separately rather than as an add-on to the meal. Maybe it’s an Issue where the order isn’t clear when it goes through to the kitchen?

Mix the best of KFC with Nando's and you've got a fast food resto that delivers very delicious chicken that doesn't cost a bomb. Absolutely worth visiting at least once to see for yourself. I recommend the buffalo chicken wrap.

Nice place to have a meal and relax

Amazing crunch chicken wings and stays warm for ageeeess comes very hot and great price great choice will deffo be back as soon as i can !!

Very delicious and lovely restaurant. They have plenty of option all chicken stuff. Prices are logical The chicken is halal here. I strongly recommend it.
