Customer Review Summary

Crispy chicken is what reviewers return to most, with several praising the chicken as fresh and full of flavour, along with the chicken BBQ burger, tenders and wings, and fries described as perfectly salted. Diners also like the choice of sauces, the refillable drinks and the friendly staff, and one says tables were cleared quickly. Complaints are more specific than the praise. One reviewer found the sandwich fillets unseasoned and only warm, with the barbecue sauce tasting cheap, while the tenders arrived hot. Another says the food was great but could have been hotter. One dislikes the sour taste of the inferno sauce, and a longtime regular says quality has dropped, with fried onions much smaller. Portions draw complaints too: one reports a box of fried pickles holding nine slices, and another opened a takeaway burger in the car to find no top bun.

    “So we used to go here regularly for a good while but it really fell down hill in quality. We are talking about a colossal nose dive off a cliff, fried onions got smaller and looked like it was run through a wood chipper. We even gave it the name suspicious stew cause of how often youd find random fried bits of other stuff like pickles or chicken. Horrific BUT we decided to give it a shot for old times sake and honestly it might be having a comeuppance, cause the food is lookin good. Portions were great, staff were friendly and it just felt like the OG slims. Hopefully they continue at this pace. I definitely recommend checking it out, great food for a good price.”

    “Our first time here as we have visited the one in Basingstoke a couple of times. It was a treat for our Granddaughter as she has never experienced it before. The food was great but could of been a little bit hotter, otherwise a lovely meal.”

    “Had a great experience at Slim Chickens Bournemouth! The chicken was fresh, crispy, and full of flavour, with generous portions that were well worth the price. The fries were hot and perfectly seasoned, and the sauces were delicious with plenty of choice. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were friendly and efficient. Food arrived quickly, even though it was busy. Definitely one of the best places in Bournemouth for fried chicken—I’ll definitely be coming back!”

    “One of the best fast food chains I’ve ever had. I usually do not go get fast food but they are so many choices and since I am a big fan of chicken I really love it. This is such a good restaurant if you need to come here to go grab a bite and you are very hungry especially because the drinks are also refillable. I definitely recommend slims instead of something like McDonald’s”
