We’re southern at heart.
Our roots run deep in the Delta where food is honest, meals are social, and the door is
always open. We started with a mission to bring a dose of that southern hospitality to a
fast, casual setting—serving fresh handmade food to the communities we serve.
Now over a decade and thousands of happy customers later, we know that there’s
something special about our hand-breaded chicken tenders, fresh Buffalo wings, and
handmade dipping sauces that keeps our loyal fans coming back…over and over again.
Guests tell us that Slims has changed their weekly routines—that our food was simply life changing, and that they can’t get enough. No joke.
We strive to return that enthusiasm by giving back to the communities we serve—helping local non-profits with fundraisers,
donating food to community events, and doing everything we can to improve the lives of people in the communities where
we live and work.
In more ways than one, Slim Chickens is truly Life Changing Chicken
