Slim Chickens

Boo. Our party of 3 came in at 5pm & there were 3-4 other customers seared at the time, with no one in line behind us. Our order was taken & we went to find a table. The place was filthy, & we were hard pressed to find a clean table. Food scraps, crumbs, & sticky soda was everywhere. Meanwhile, there were at least 4 employees in & around the kitchen, chatting & playing in their phones. Once we found a clean table, 2 of our 3 orders arrived within about 5-7 minutes. This food was warm, but not hot. The third meal came out 15 minutes later & was warm as well. The food tasted all right, but it wasn't great by any means. There was 1 staff who came is out & wiped down 2 tables before returning to the kitchen. Other than that, the person who was doing the most physical work was a nice gal who brought out our food, & she was injured with her leg in an immobilizer boot, bless her heart. We won't be coming back here.

By far, my favorite restaurant in Columbia, mo...until last night. The food has been top notch every time I’ve been. I eat lunch here about 3 times a week. Last night, my daughter and I came in around 7pm. Stood in line behind 2 others for 15 minutes because 1 person had an ongoing issue from the previous night. So the ONLY person up front to take orders was on the phone with the GM while we wait for someone to take our orders. Another employee ended up taking our order. Finally, 45 minutes from the time we walked in the door, our order is brought to us. The same lady(blue dreadlocks) that was on the phone with the GM, brings our food to the table, slides our bag of food onto the table, picks up the order tag and she DOESNT SAY A WORD TO US!!!!!! Basically threw our food at us, walked away and conveniently is nowhere to be found. It really sucks when we have such a nice restaurant ruined by terrible customer service. This is why I will not be returning to slim chickens. Hope this helps for the betterment of the company. 2 stars for the incredible food, 0 stars for the customer service. Just be professional, the kids are watching.

We waited 5 minuets at the drive through for anyone to even take our order. Then we waited over 15 MINUETS for a SINGLE chicken sandwich in the drive through! And there was hardly any other customers there. Not to mention they rang up the order wrong when we got to the window. The manager was very kind but the people she had working for her severely lacked customer service skills. Decent food but not worth a 20 minute wait.
