Oh, Girthies. A name that struts in like it owns the place, puffing its chest out, practically daring your appetite to keep up. I walked in expecting thick, meaty, unapologetically hefty tenders. The kind of chicken with real girth. The kind that commands respect.
Instead, I was served what looked like breaded chicken lingerie.
These tenders were so tragically thin they felt indecent. Not tenders. Not strips. These were chicken suggestions. Chicken whispers. Chicken that clearly skipped leg day, arm day, and every other day involving substance. I’ve seen cocktail straws with more girth. I’ve seen dental floss with more presence.
Girthies, your name is writing checks your tenders absolutely cannot cash.
I wanted something thick, juicy, satisfyingly substantial. Something with weight. Something that fills the hand, not something that vanishes like a guilty thought. But no. What arrived were frail, narrow little slivers that looked like they’d been shaved down by someone terrified of commitment.
And biting into them? Deeply unsettling. The breading slid off in clammy sheets like damp skin, exposing chicken with the pale, exhausted look of something that had been cooked far beyond the point of mercy. Not juicy. Not tender. Just weirdly wet in that suspicious, vaguely sweaty way that makes you question your life choices mid-chew.
Every bite felt like chewing on a breaded identity crisis.
Even the portion size felt like an elaborate prank. A whole basket of tenders, yet somehow still not enough girth to feel satisfying. It was like being handed a pile of skinny disappointments and told to pretend this counts as indulgence. Quantity without thickness. Volume without substance. A parade of underwhelming narrowness.
The fries didn’t help. Limp. Greasy. Flaccid little starch noodles soaked in oil that tasted like it had been reused since the dawn of time. Oil with trauma. Oil with baggage. Oil that has witnessed countless similarly inadequate tenders pass through its murky existence.
And the sauces? Beige puddles of apathy. Lifeless. Emotionally unavailable. They didn’t enhance anything; they just sat there, quietly complicit in the overall tragedy of insufficient girth.
Girthies, you cannot swagger around with a name like that and then hand people chicken tenders with the physical profile of breaded shoelaces. It’s not just false advertising. It’s culinary catfishing.
I came craving girth. I left haunted by thinness.
Two stars. One for the comedy. One for the sheer, unbelievable audacity of calling this “Girthies.”

Waited fifteen minutes in the drive through, paid, and waited another ten minutes staring at a kid playing on his phone before I got my order. To be fair I should have known better this place is always slow, but this was pretty egregious.
This place is awful. Should have known something was off when I walked in on a Friday during dinner time and no one was in the dinning room or in drive through. There was one person working. Order three combos and it to took 20 mins to get. Then the food was gross. Mushy half cooked fried. Chick tenders were the size of my pinky finger. Not worth the cost. Save yourself the trip.

The food is mediocre at best. We went therr after a dr appt. There was 1 couple in the dining area at 12:30( Lunch time) the lady thay waited on us was great. She was friendly and made our experience there worth it. The chicken fingers are very tiny but good taste and you get an abundance of French fries . Give it a try if you haven't been there. Service is fast and friendly and its very quiet!

Awful, old tasting food. Fries taste like they have been sitting out and microwaved. Chicken was hard and again tastes like it had been sitting out. So disappointed.

The food was not fresh at all. I was surprised that it was ready in about 2 minutes and that was because it had been sitting for hours. The coleslaw had a gray tint. I didn’t even try it. The chicken was rubbery and hard to bite through. We basically threw away $32 worth of food. We should have stuck with City Bird in Crestview Hills.
Pretty sad I just paid 30 dollars for mini pieces of chicken and couldn't even get a side of bread this franchise in thee biggest rip off ever. Canes for the win next time
7/6/25 - 2:26p Don’t waste your money here.
Food was not fresh at all, none of it - chicken, fries and bread were all dried out and old. Wasted $30. My kids won’t even eat the fries! Frustrating and disappointing. Customers expect fresh and hot food. We pay for that! Idc about your waste costs, manage how much your team is cooking during down times vs peak times and that solves your waste/ inventory variances. Follow hot hold times and dispose of the product when that timer expires. Don’t serve food you wouldn’t even want to eat. Also, change your soda bags, the drinks were awful too. There are so many competitors that sell chicken… Guthries won’t last serving this kind of food to customers. We will stick to other chicken places in the future!
