“First time customer…amazing!

Our office ordered from here for lunch. I had the vegan potato and I truly can’t say enough good things about it. I wish I would have taken a picture but I didn’t. Everyone in the office said we would like to go back (even though it’s 28 minutes away).

It’s a must try for sure! Staff is very helpful too! Assisted us with food allergy needs. Very knowledgeable.“

Slim's Salad

“Slim's chicken has a great combo of crispy and flaky crust, worth lots of dipping sauces to choose from. My fave is the Korean BBQ, which is slightly spicy and sweet, but my husband prefers Slim Sauce, which has a creamy, tangy flavor. We tend to get Mac and Cheese instead of fries, and the sauce is super creamy and cheesy. Pasta is, as you might expect, not al dente, but it holds up well. The store is always clean, food is fast and with a smile. I don't care for the pie jars, which have a lot of whipped cream and graham cracker crumble, with relatively little pie filling, so unless that's your jam, maybe save money for dessert somewhere else. There's plenty of parking, and a nice patio. A couple of TVs, which are usually showing FOX sports, so take that as you will. Plenty of room to maneuver a wheelchair in, so it's accessible, though the bathrooms are pretty tight. The metal chairs aren't particularly comfortable, either. Prices are moderate for fast(er) food these days, but definitely use the app if you plan to go regularly for some good deals and sometimes free food.“
