Nestled in the heart of London at 35 James Street, Slim Chickens offers a distinctive American-style fast casual dining experience that combines bold flavors with a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Known for its 

 slogan, this restaurant has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. The vibrant American old-school decor, complemented by smooth jazz melodies, creates a relaxed yet lively ambiance that transports diners straight to the southern US.

Two standout dishes define the essence of Slim Chickens: their crispy, juicy chicken tenders and the flavorful, perfectly seasoned chicken sandwiches. The tenders are a crispy golden-brown on the outside, moist and tender inside, served with a variety of homemade sauces that elevate each bite. The chicken sandwiches feature tender, juicy chicken breast nestled in fresh, soft rolls, topped with crisp greens and a selection of sauces that range from tangy ranch to spicy buffalo.

Founded on the principle of delivering authentic American fried chicken with a modern twist, Slim Chickens prides itself on quality ingredients and a friendly, efficient service team. An interesting fact is that the restaurant's decor and music are carefully curated to evoke a nostalgic yet contemporary American vibe, making every visit a mini cultural escape.

 It is renowned for its crispy, juicy chicken tenders and flavorful chicken sandwiches that deliver a true taste of American fried chicken.

 It offers a unique American dining experience with high-quality, flavorful chicken in a cozy setting, perfect for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner after exploring London.

The food and service were not good. Overpriced. Small piece of overcooked chicken in the sandwich. Food was ready at a decent time but took for ever die wait staff to bring it too us. Why go here when you can go to Nando's

Very good quality chicken. The cashiers were very nice and I appreciated the fast casual layout as an American. Came in late for for something to take back to the hotel. I appreciate them being open later than most places as this London location is a fantastic walking area. 

The sauces were fantastic. As an American I'm comparing them to some of our Chicken places and they are very good. Not excellent but well deserving of your late night patronage.

Slim Chickens is a relatively new franchise that entered a very competitive fast food market in London. Their main slogan is "Life changing chicken". Being a student in London and coming here almost every week when I`m studying, I can say that it indeed lives up to the slogan and here is why:

First of all, the atmosphere of this place is very nice and cozy. The place is made in American old-school style. The combination of color decisions on the wall, seating and tables make you feel relaxed and comfortable. The music is mostly smooth jazz which once again underlines the classic American feeling to it. 

Customer service is good overall. The staff is very charming and helpful, they know everything about their products. If you decide to eat in, they will give you a table number and will bring your food right to your table. They offer a free refill on their soft drinks and have a variety of beer and milkshakes. Next to the counter, there is a station where you can help yourself with forks, napkins, and even wet-wipes, which is unusual for a fast food place to offer them completely free. Tables are mostly clean, when it gets busy, you can always ask a member of staff to clean your table and they would do it for you. The food is served very fast. 

There is a good variety of food. From burgers and tenders to salads and sweets. SlimChikens tenders are not what you probably assume them to be. Somehow they managed to reimagine a regular chicken tender into a juicy, crispy piece of chicken which is full of flavor. Their tender meal is served with a big amount of fries and very soft garlic toast. They have a big variety of sauces which come free as the part of your meal and they also play an important role in how this place is changing the fried chicken game. 

Overall, me being a student, I come to this place at least once a week when I`m studying. The location is perfect as it is right in the centre of London, next to Bond Street Station and Selfridges shop (which means that if there is a shock drop of yeezys, you can get there in less than a minute to get your big drip or make a check). The value for money is as good as it gets as you are getting the top quality chicken for a price of generic fast food place. This is a life changing chicken and it ranks on the top of my personal rating of fast food restaurants in London.

SÓ YUM OMG. The ambience at slim chickens is simply unmatched in not only the brunswick centre, but all of lomdon, and not just all of london but all of england, and not just all of england but all of europe!!

Really quite passable chicken place. Tenders and wings are both good, although many of the sauces are a bit undifferentiated ( was that bled cheese or ranch or something else entirely). Fries are good( but unexceptional).The bottomless sodas as part of the meals could benefit from bigger cups otherwise there's the risk of it being less bottomless, more three-sips-and-back-to-the-machine.

Slim Chickens take a relatively simple dish and do it really, really well. Southern US style fried chicken and chips with a range of home made sauces to choose from. Batter is crispy on the outside and the chicken perfectly cooked and moist on the inside. Everything is cooked to order but never more than 5min wait. Always one of my go to places now when in London! Great for a quick lunch stop when shopping nearby.

Love this place. The best chicken in London. Relaxed atmosphere and right in the heart of central london. Price really reasonable too.

What a pleasant surprise!  We were starving after several miles of walking in London and stopped in because we saw one empty table that could seat the five of us and we wanted something fast.  We loved it!  The very reasonably priced chicken sandwiches and salads were delicious.  The salad greens were fresh and crisp topped with perfectly cooked juicy chicken breast and did I mention that they were huge.  The chicken sandwiches, again, were perfectly cooked, tender, juicy and served on really fresh rolls with very tasty fries. Friendly service, clean restaurant, centrally located in the heart of London.
