“THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! Everything on the menu is delicious. Can’t go wrong with any choice. I still love the pulled pork, daughter loves the ribs, husband loves the brisket….there is the wonderful sausage, bacon, and sides! I do want to correct one review that said the owner is from TX. Owner, Jordan Wright is NOT from TX. He was born and raised in Little Rock, AR, and we claim him!!!“

Hubs likes the Classic Carol on toasted wheat with the works and scoop of Fancy Nancy.....look forward to the next visit!!“

“Great service, delicious food, cool atmosphere.“

“So fresh, so friendly. Though there was an intensity in the air tonight and it defs felt like management was there. Tons of cleaning and associates asking us how things tasted incessantly haha way over friendly. Maybe management can loosen the pressure bc this place is always great from a customer perspective. We were laughing by the end at how silly it all felt.“

“great food with great staff!“

“I only do the 30 piece as take out from the drive thru window. Taste hasn't changed, but over the past several months the pieces have gotten smaller and smaller. Not much fish there anymore. Mostly cornmeal crust.“

“This place is absolutely amazing. Ordered the roast beef for myself, and it was tender, juicy flavorful and oh my gosh it was enough for two meals. My daughter got the chicken and dumplings and said it tasted as close to homemade as she has ever had and she is a connoisseur when it comes to chicken and dumplings.. the staff was so super friendly and they were absolutely packed but you can tell they know how to deal with the crowd. Can’t wait to go back.!“

“Incredible food! Packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and the service was top-notch. Definitely recommend!“

“Everything is delicious. I love their coleslaw & the apple butter with their little loaves of bread. If you are running low on any of the food they will refill them. All you can eat. Love to eat there.“

“Been here few time great great service great great food friendly people clean clean bathrooms clean clean place 😊😊“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – Worth Every One!

We stopped in for lunch at Slim Chickens here in Rogers and were blown away from the moment we walked in. The service at the point of sale was welcoming and quick, and it only got better from there.

We tried the tenders, a club sandwich meal, and split the Buffalo Tender Mac Bowl — all fresh, hot, and full of flavor. That Mac Bowl is a must try if you’re looking for comfort with a kick!

I want to give a special shout-out to Phillip and the manager who was walking the floor and checking on tables. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care for guests made the experience stand out. It’s rare these days to see a team who takes pride in every part of the meal—from the kitchen to the table.

The restaurant was exceptionally clean, and every staff member we interacted with showed great professionalism and kindness. It’s clear this location takes pride in what they do.

💬 Final thought:
It’s easy to serve food. It’s harder to serve people with care — and they did both beautifully. We’ll definitely be back!“
