“Lazy Pete’s is one of those spots you try once and immediately want to come back to. The wings are absolutely delicious—crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. And the po’ boys? Easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Fresh bread, perfectly seasoned seafood, and generous portions.

On top of all that, everything is super well priced. You get quality food without breaking the bank, which is rare these days.

Whether you’re grabbing lunch or dinner, Lazy Pete’s hits the spot every time. Great flavors, great value, and just an all-around awesome place to eat.“

“First let say the review is based on my personal likings and are a general review of the experience I encountered.
Taylor, was very polite and very attention tive. The food was very good. Eggs cooked to my liking, the potatoes with onions, red peppers, bacon, ham, and seasoning was very very good. The gravy had a different taste that I'm used to but was very flavorful and very good. The biscuit,....it was cold. I get it, it's probably left out after cooking and it gets room temp cold. It was immediately replaced with a nice hot one by Taylor after I inquired about it. It was steaming hot when she brought out the replacement. Although, I personally was not satisfied with the taste. Not to say it was bad, just that it wasn't to my liking. But it was very fluffy, moist, and toasty on top. In my opinion it needed some salt and buttermilk. That is the reasoning for the 4 stars instead of 5. You can't satisfy everyone all the time but this place did its best to satisfy my tastes of their food. Oh yeah, that coffee was strong. It was good coffee but to strong for my liking.
Will I return? Absolutely. And I will try something else from their menu.
As forthe restaurant. It was clean, very well light, cozy, and the atmosphere was inviting.
I had an awesome conversation with Taylor. Thanks Taylor for taking the time to chat with me.
Come give this place a try.“

“I’m so glad I gave Slim Chickens another shot—this location on N Shackleford Rd in Little Rock completely changed my opinion of the brand! After a terrible experience at a different location, I decided to give it one more try because so many people had raved about Slim Chickens—and I’m glad I listened.

I ordered the Buffalo Tender Mac Bowl Meal, and everything was cooked perfectly! The chicken was hot and crispy, the noodles were tender, and the flavor was spot on. Even better, the service here was genuinely friendly and welcoming—night and day compared to the last place I visited.

The only reason I’m giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that the music inside was a little loud for my taste. But overall, this was a great experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back to this location again“

“Road Trip Blessing in Disguise
We're on a family road trip and had an unexpected tire issue that brought us to a nearby Firestone in Little Rock. While waiting on the repair, we stumbled into Slim Chickens and honestly, it turned our whole day around.
From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with genuine Southern hospitality. The restaurant was spotless, the atmosphere laid-back, and the food? Absolutely top-notch. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy, and the dipping sauces (especially the Cayenne Ranch and Honey BBQ) were chef's kiss. My kids couldn't get enough of the tenders, and my partner and devoured the Chicken & Waffles like we hadn't eaten in days. The cherry on top? The mason jar desserts. That strawberry cheesecake jar was so good it felt illegal. What started as a stressful pit stop turned into one of the highlights of our day. Thanks, Slim Chickens, for the warm welcome, killer food, and turning a flat tire into a five-star memory.“
