Overall, it was disappointing. Limited GF options. Their online allergen menu shows no gluten ingredients for their tenders and wings. I didn’t trust the wings, though, because they fry them. I also got the coleslaw. The coleslaw was pretty good…but it’s just coleslaw. The tenders were alright, but nothing special. I did like the mango habanero sauce. It was my favorite thing about the whole meal.
We went on a Sunday at noon (which was a mistake). There was no line to order, but we waited over 45 min for our food. I think it’s one of the few places where the drive through is quicker because they were bringing about 3 meals to it for every one they brought to the dining area.
Overall, it was “ok” for something I could get elsewhere for the same price and have a lot less worry about cross contamination. I wouldn’t mind having a bottle of that sauce for home, though

Slim Chickens had few gluten free options. Some of their fried items are gluten free but it is fried all in the same fryer as everything else that is not gluten free; so risk for cross contamination. So I went with a salad of no croutons and had grilled chicken tenders .

I visited the location at 4265 Austin Bluffs, in Colorado Springs, CO, on 2/24/24. Manager reported that they do *not* have a dedicated fryer for their fries. I had some grilled tenders, which was pretty much the only GF thing I saw on the menu. I didn’t feel confident, so I took a Benadryl, and can’t speak to my cross-contamination experience.

Staff was unsure if the fries would be fried in a dedicated fryer or a shared one. The manager informed me that the fries contained gluten. But their website indicates otherwise. So I did not dine there!

I went online to look at their allergen ingredients, and was able to get their honey BBQ bone-in wings with fries and didn’t get sick!! It was sooo good, I wish I had one closer to me.

This place was awesome! I called ahead of time to check on GF options and was told their grilled chicken strips and fries were both GF. I asked about cross contamination on fries and was told they use a separate fryer for fries. When I got there to order order I confirmed again about the fryer and was assured it was separate. The cashier made sure to tell the kitchen that the bread that comes with it needed a separate box due to an allergy. They truly seemed to care and the foodwas fantastic! I would100% go again.

Slim Chicken’s has turned into a staple in my life lately because of their grilled tenders! I also am able to eat their fries! I have not yet had a bad experience, and am really thankful for this option! Chick-Fil-A tends to make me sick even with letting them know of my Gluten Allergy.
This is a great option if someone is wanting a Drive Thru/ Easy option for lunch or dinner! :)
The ranch also is amazing, and I have had no reaction to it.
