Slim's

We got two philly cheese steaks, sweet potato fries, and an Oreo milkshake. The Philly cheese steaks were full of meat but dry. We had to add A1 steam sauce to them. See my sweet potato fries? Where's the rest? No way did I get $2.99 worth of fries! The Oreo milkshake was bomb. We had a heat advisory, so this hit the spot. Didn't rate the atmosphere because we went through the drive thru.

I had the excellent experience of a Spicy gyro and spicy fries. They are were top quality and very tasty. As I live in an adult care center with sometimes too bland food i've only intend to order these for delivery again and again. Previously, I did order a hamburger and onion rings and was disappointed that the onion rings are not made in house and were poor quality with little or no onion in them.

First visit. Smelled good inside the restaurant. Ordered catfish and sweet potato fries. Order came fast. There were only about 10 fries. The fish wasn't cooked long enough. It was soaked in grease. The grease Smelled and tasted old. I couldn't eat it. Too cold outside to go back. Made me sad that I had to waste my money. I should have just got fish from Culvers across the street.

1st time sampling and was pleasantly surprised had the grilled chicken as listed on the receipt and the burger was piping hot and I can tell that everything was freshly done. Will tryout the menu again to sample something else! Hopefully it keeps being worth my while!

Chicken strips were fine. I would have like the chicken to be a little more tender. Fries were ok.

Had the cheese steak with mushrooms peppers and onions. The meat was cooked to perfection. The hoagie roll/bread was too thick. I’m from the Philly/NJ area and so it’s all about the roll! IYKYK. Also ordered the cheese burger and fries. Burger was decent but the fries tasted like they had cinnamon on them. I didn’t care for that. Oreo malt was very good!!

My first experience here - excellent - on all aspects. I needed to get a main dish to bring to a double birthday celebration on short notice. Slims did not disappoint. I called and ordered a 25 piece chicken fingers, and they provided right on time. Everyone at the event asked where I had found these tender, moist, full flavored and generous size delights. I wanted to keep it my secret but told them about Slims, very clean, open kitchen, polite staff, reasonable prices. They have a great diverse menu. Too bad the ratings scale only goes to 5, I'd give them a 10 or higher.

So we’re new to the area and wanted to try something new, so the hubs and kids said let’s give slims a try, I have pros and cons: Pros: Despite having to go through the drive through it was relatively quick. The burgers and fries amazing, the gyro with the spicy sauce good, the chicken tenders juicy, flavorful, the gyro bowl with the gyro meat and chicken w/regular & spicy cucumber sauce good. Cons: the rice that came with the gyro bowl lacked flavor and it didn’t taste fresh at all, the strawberry lemonade was WEAK. Last but not least the customer service while ordering “ is that it? Is that it? Is that it? Is that it? Is that it? Is that it? For a second I thought I was at McDonald’s 🤦🏾‍♀️🤔😳 I get whole heartedly that we’re in a society that restaurants are short staffed and most workers are overworked and underpaid. We make sure we show our appreciation to those who do show up. With that being said; kindness is a two way street.

The gyro burger is a great combo Fries are fresh skin on and the specialty fries. Food is fast and good quality.

Kids. Listen. Slims in Brooklyn center. Yikes! Freaking delicious!!!!! Sorry I don't have a picture I took a bite then took ALL the bites. And those fries **chefs kiss** they got a lil somethin somethin extra to them. If anyone of you have been to waffle bus in Houston it gives that feel. But not a waffle in sight. Please do yourself a favor goto what would be a hole in the wall kindof restaurant but in a building. They have a drive through, honestly I would just go in. Their bowl is freaking tasty too !

After doing a Google search for halal options nearby, Slim's came up. Called to confirm, and everything but wings is halal. My toddler and I ate a crispy chicken sandwich and cheeseburger there and got a spicy chicken sandwich, cheesy fries, and a shake to takeaway for the rest of the family. Everything was great and food was out quickly. There weren't a ton of people dining in when we arrived, though there was plenty of comfortable seating, but rather a steady stream of people ordering take out the whole time we were there. Decor is cute, diner style with local touches of artwork.

Slims has pretty good burgers, great fries and sometimes when they put enough sauce the gyro bowls. I recommend taking a visit if you get the chance. Personally I always get the gyro bowls, both meats and both sauce. The last few times I went it seems like they've been skimping on the sauce, if you order it ask for double the amount of sauce.

I was going to be in the area and looked up a new place to try. I have never heard of Slim's but it looked good and it was on my way home. I was pleasantly surprised by this chicken bowl! It's probably the closest chicken and rice dish I've had outside of the famous Manhattan screen cart (IYKYK)! The chicken is flavorful and cooked well, the rice is good AND my favorite part was the white sauce! It all just goes so well together. The fries were ok, guessing they would have been better if I had them fresh, but by the time I got them home they were cold and soggy. The seasoning was good.

They have the best bowls! We always like to bring people here to try it because their bowls are amazing! We love how we can get some good spice on it and it hits the spot when you need a full belly! The kids love the shakes too and their kids meals are perfect! Our kids love the grill cheese!

First time visiting and I had a nice experience. A few things to note: -ample parking -ample indoor seating -sandwiches and burgers don't come with a side -in-store menu features a few different burgers, but there are no descriptions, so be sure to ask or check online. I got the Carolina burger, which came with barbecue sauce and grilled onions, but was otherwise similar to the (slightly cheaper) Slims Burger. The flavor was good, with a smashed patty and soft bun. Also, I got the Buffalo chicken fries, which could easily be a side for 2-3 people. It was tasty, but next time, I'd request a little less blue cheese sauce (or just on the side). That all said, I'd check it out again.

We've gotten takeout and delivery from here a few times and the fries are phenomenal. The burgers are also good, but the fries stand out. My husband really likes their shakes. We have only ever gotten drive through or takeout, so I've never been in the building, but from the drive thru, the staff seem friendly and helpful. Maybe it feels expensive to me because I'm a graduate student and don't have a lot of money, but you'll have to check for yourself!

One of the best chicken over rice food spots in the entire state. Their quality is always top notch. Once I learned you can add tomatoes and onions to your rice bowls is what changed the game for me. Side of Sweet Chili sauce is amazing too. I would recommend this for anyone. I would post my food but I already finish it!

Wings were delish and they are cheap for whole wings Sauces are not that great but no big deal to me. Service was fast and easy.

Not sure what the dish was called but boi it was delicious a coworker surprised me with lunch from here she's from Africa but I'll be visiting in person REALLY SOON

The people are fast and friendly. We love everything! I love the chicken, my husband likes the beef options, and our son loves the bowls. A real chocolate malt. Even sweet potato fries!

If you haven't had the fries here, you haven't lived. They will change your life. One of the best local spots in Brooklyn Center MN. Consistently great service for a local fast food joint. I kinda wish they'd bring back their pizza, but the gyro bowl is my go to. Cool art on the walls of your reading there, reflects the restaurant's connection to the neighborhood. One of my favorites!

This place has always impressed me. The food is great made with obviously fresh ingredients. I personally think the Customer Service is good and their menu has MANY options.

I like the culture of this place. Anything with desserts such as malts/shakes along with serving deep fried foods, man oh man..melts my heart. I like the wings here. They are different, it has a thin crispy batter with a seasoning salt plus a cinnamon twist to it. We ordered the slims sauce and ranch. The mango habernero sauce is nasty, dont order that. They use to have Phillys, but not no more. The burgers look fresh but the patty is thin. It is a order at the counter and then sit down, the food will be brought out to you! Employees are nice, and service was great. Food is not bad. Chicken wings are the star of the show.

The food was pretty good, the fries especially were amazing. I haven't been in for rush hour so I don't know if the wait time is bad. The ONLY issue is the pricing. To make a meal a combo it's an extra $5.99. The meal it's self is almost $10. Easily between me and my father our meal was almost $40! Pretty ridiculous.

Your better off getting gyros from arbys. This place had the worst gyro ever and was very uncooked

‍Oh this place is the Best! We have tried so many things from SLIMS menu & HONESTLY there is not 1 item we didn't love. Its all been great! From the Fries to the shakes & Wings to the Gyros all DELISH! GO TRY IT OUT! You will be glad you did & THE OWNERS COOL STORY BEHIND SLIMS IS WHAT GOT ME TO GO THERE & TRY IT OUT 1 DAY SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHEN WE BOUGHT A HOUSE IN THE The Area I can't say enough about this place! Just that it its a must TRY! I sure would like to meet the Fine owners one day & try another item on the menu! happy & delighted this is my neighborhood Thanks so much for the Top Notch Food & Service At SLIMS Melissa‍ Hoglund from Brooklyn Center Mn

I went to slims and yes they had a message saying they don't have their jumbo wings... but there's no price reduction I order 5 whole wings for 11 dollars. Got wing dings instead. NOT YOUR MONEY WORTH!!

Tried for the first time today. Fries were cold and soggy. The grilled chicken sandwich was on a sub bun and was massive. Didn't get the water bottle I ordered, but I think that's more of a DoorDash issue. Pretty bummed overall

Amazing delicious Food Good experience Love the look inside the restaurant Nice friendly People

Their food is bomb! I had the gyro & sirlion steak burger along with the kid's cheeseburger. The first real sirlion steak burger I ever had, so much better than Freddy's steakhouse burger. Would go again. The only thing I had a problem with was the customer service through the drive thru. They were trying to end the order really fast by talking over me but hopefully it gets better.

The worst place ,very dirty ,not professional ,the food not good and terrible , bad experience don't even think to go eat at this terrible place the city needs to close this place

I have been to slims a multitude of times, however this is the second time I have eaten on the inside so I figured I should see how it goes and write a review for others to see my experience. Tracy the girl that took my order at the front I love her energy, enthusiasm, and she is very helpful. I had a business meeting with an old friend and he had never eaten at slums before. I ordered the gyro dinner with fries and a drink, and my friend ordered the spicy gyro with fries and a drink. I haven't had anything at slims that I didn't like. My friend and I had a great time, the food was good, service was good, and it was pretty quiet there. I will continue to come to slims as long as this is what I have to look forward too.

Ordered yesterday evening at Slim's and my food was terrible. Chicken tenders had no seasoning. Fries was over cooked and my drink at no ice. Called and spoke with manager and all she said was sorry. Did offer a credit or anything. Terrible service.

Slim's is the bomb. #1 the service is great AND quick #2 the bathrooms are super clean #3 the sweet potato fries are the best I've ever had. Crispy and tasty. #4 the wings come with sauce but you don't need it, the dry rub is good enough. #5 THE ICE CREAM could put Culvers to shame. Shakes, Malts, Mixers and tons of mix ins! Seriously though, give Slim's a try. It is worth it.

Oh how I love Slims! The ambiance is meh, but the food knocks it out of the park. The gyro fries are my kids favorites and I love the gyro bowls or the straight up gyro. I think this is the only location in the state, worth the trip! Staff is also very nice. Love it!

I'm addicted to their fries and chicken wings. The seasoning is unlike any other joint. Reminds me of east coast seasoning for crab. But please don't let that description run you off, it's just my loose attempt at identifying. In any case....soooooooo good. I cant stop ordering when I'm in that area. Loved it pregnant. Loved it when I delivered. I usually treat myself to a shake too. They have tons of sauce selections so try a few. I like the bbq and the habanero mango. Now, they also have gyros in regular form, burger, and salads. I'm a fan of the regular and the burger. I didn't personally enjoy the salad form...I found myself longing for a chipotle burrito bowl instead. Anywhoooo. GET THE WINGS AND "REGULAR" FRIES (sweet potatoe fries are also offered but I don't think they are better than regular) and thank me later.

Wow terribly run place currently. Extremely slow service. When food finally delivered to the 8 cars parked after the drive thru (total mess) it is delivered out of order. If the food was something special it would be ok, but it's just not. Avoid.

Some of the best wings around. Their special dry rub is to die for. Gyro and wet Chicago beef sandwich are winners too. A must eat if in the neighborhood.

I live directly across tgecstreet for the last two years. Eaten there roughly 15 times always in atore seating 1) Chicken is EXCEPTIONAL - in 8/2018 my son and I spent 30 minutes trying three different "subtle" tweaks of their coating the owner / chef were focusing an entire afternoon on patron evaluations A grade not to much salt and seasoning but enough to Wow your taste buds! They do a lot of constant testing in store 2) I have had gyros in all forms - a solid B+ A- Lamb skewers have proper balanced season ing 3) Malts/Shakes They use High end thick creamy Hard hand packed ice cream they are expensive but Delicious Atmosphere has a lot Of Big Windows and Light very Casual Easy in and out and parking at light at 69th and Brooklyn Blvd Drive Thru in Back is Small and Many people Don't realize it is an option Yes you can get it to go 4 big car dealerships within 2 blocks often recommend and send customers as it is fast, close, high quality food In my opinion as a Long time ( 26 years) food conosseuer of Brooklyn Center restaurants SCOREBOARD PIZZA. SLIMS AND 50'S Grill are Three best food quality restaurants in entire city HANDS Down!! Easy Access off of 694 and Brooklyn Blvd (2 blocks north) makes Slims Easy choice for Anyone Driving East and West from Top Golf or through Metro

Over the pass two months this restaurant has gone down hill the food taste old and nasty and the customer service is absolutely garbage. The sanitation is the worst part. With all the diseases that are floating around this is simply not a safe place to eat.

Came because of the sign off the highway. The fries were awesome. Th burger was lacking in add ons and depth the party was enormous but the cheese was stuck to the bun top. My husband had the cheesesteak that was raved about on here. But even that was just ok. It was lacking meat. All in all it reminded us of five guys fries and culvers burgers. May come again but won't have the same items

I have to admit I have a bias. I eat at at Slims several times per week. Mostly out of necessity as the options in Brooklyn Center are extremely limited. That said I have tried just about everything on the menu. Their food quality speaks for itself. Favorites include Gyro Burger, Chicken Strips, Cheese Curds, and Fish Sandwich. Where Slim's beats the competition(Five Guys, Culvers, Smash Burger) is their service. They hand deliver your order, they check on you several times, and are always friendly. Slim's is the goto when you don't have a lot of time and want good quality food.

Awesome burger and delicious pumpkin shake Returned a second time and added the wings Quality and flavor are very good- highly recommended ff - hope they have a chance franchise because anyone that loves a steak burger from Steak-n'Shake will love the food and the cool vibe of Slim's

Stopped by for the first time last night. The boss bought us some cheese curds to try. They were very good - lightly battered and not overcooked. Definitely worth ordering. We had the fish. Normally I don't like catfish; I find it too mushy. These pieces, in addition to being the size of my hand, were cooked perfectly and had an excellent flavor. If I were to choose to eat catfish, I'd do it here. Definitely worth it.

First they messed up the order. We Ordered two gyro bowls 1-spicy and 1-regular with green peppers and onions. They bring the food out and it's 1 gyro bowl w/ the peppers as NO ONIONS (I didn't figure this out until I got home ) and a gyro burrito spicy. Like where did I say burrito? I didn't. So they had to refund me the entire order and re ring me up. Remind you I wanted to go to Culver's across the street and my sisters said let's try this! Bad experience from the get go. So then after 20 mins of waiting we finally got our food.then get home and realize my order was wrong. Like seriously what's going on in that kitchen? I heard them talk about their age, like I'm 31. Girl. Your 31 lets get this reading thing down pat.

First time here. Stopped in for an early lunch. Ordered the slim chicken fingers/fries, cheese curds and wings with BBQ sauce. Everything came very hot and was fresh. The cheese curds were the best, fried perfectly nice crispy outside. Didn't care too much for the chicken fingers, neither did my son. Boyfriend had the wings, said they were very good, liked the touch of cinnamon. They need to work on a new batter for the chicken fingers, very bland. We must have come in as they opened. You would have expected it to be cleaner. Floor was sticky, so were the booth seats. If I had windex in my purse I would have washed the windows myself. They were filthy, inside for sure. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back again, but it wasn't bad.

Wowzers! What a disappointment! We were so excited to try the wings however when they arrived the were raw & extremely salty! We immediately sent them back..... Not to mention the blue cheese tasted like mayonnaise... We also tried the Monster Burger this was another major disappointment! Flavorless, greasy & packed with chunks of gristle! The fries were two thumbs down as well! The whole time I was sitting there, I was actually looking to my right at Culver's across the street, wishing I was eating a double juicy Mushroom Swiss burger & crinkle fies! My mom ordered a cheese steak sandwich it was horrible flavorless overcooked poor quality meat. If you try this place I recommend ordering things to share in case you don't like it.

First time eating at Slim's. The person who took the order seems like she has no energy and needs to talk louder. Aside from that the wings are good, crispy and fully marinated in buffalo sauce. I wasn't a fan of their fries since it has the taste of cinnamon. Will I go back yes b/c I like the environment.

Not a fan! People have raved about the wings and I have discovered that you "don't believe the hype!" They were dry and over cooked! The gyros were not good either, crispy meat and it was thin! Over sauced with wayyyy too many onions! $18 NOT well spent! The fries, well they were crispy, but the seasoning was like the chicken with a cinnamon flare... ewwwww! I DO believe this was my last try here..

I really used to like this place about 3-4 years ago. I just went tonight and its nothing like it used to be. No phillys or meal deal combos.(they used to) No more drinks with wing combos either. :( I really do like the wings but I really dont think its worth the price anymore especially since theres no more phillys. If they went back to how they used to be it would be better.

Yikes! Pretty darn awful! All of the food...sandwich, chicken, and fries are way too salty! My mom got the fried chicken, and I got the reuben...neither was edible. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and stay far, far away from this place!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.. Brooklyn Center is a desolate wasteland for restaurants. Then, this local place pops up not too long ago. I've been hesitant to try it simply because of the point above. But, finally got around to it this weekend. First and foremost, the menu presentation sucks. There is no detail at all on what you're getting. You order a sandwich - you have no idea what you're getting with it. It could be served with dog shit or cat piss on it, you'd never know. Which leads to my next point for those saying to themselves "ask the person taking your order." Yeah, you go ahead and try that. Rude, short, condescending and a flat out bitch that hated her job. Those aren't my words, but, the girlfriend's words. "Your order?" That's how it all started. You can imagine how much fun this was going to be! I didn't bother even asking what would come on the sandwich after listening to Ashley order her food. She ordered chicken strips and a cup for water, for what it's worth. She just got a glare for asking for a cup for water (and considering they're the cheap, small plastic kind you'd serve a small child with - clearly they have designated water cups) and never actually got a cup, as the glare turned to me. No ask of what I wanted or anything, just a glare from the screen. Everything inside told me to say fuck it and leave... but... no. Have to try it despite this snarling soul crusher trying to wreck the fantastic day. I throw in a grilled chicken sandwich, sweet tater fries, and a cup for water as well. Then, her first word my way... "Cheese?" Uhhh yes please? I look at Ashley dumbfounded, and just say "Swiss?" Face goes back to the screen and is pecked. Then I really piss her off by ordering more food in the way of cheese curds. Queue big sigh. Then the item is entered. Pay, get a number, and go sit down. Look how long this review is without even getting to the food. Yeah, don't bother people. Seriously. Food... the chicken sandwich was a garbage dumpster of grease and ingredients (think Philly cheesesteak kind of ingredients). Chicken is essentially diced to hell, and smothered in grease, then thrown on to a bun. I literally couldn't taste anything but onions, peppers, and grease. It was an abomination of a sandwich. For those that know me, or have seen what and how much I've ate - I threw away half of this sandwich. My stomach couldn't handle the grease that was literally dripping out of this thing. Cheese curds were terrible and served with no dipping sauce. Flavorless all around, and the only thing you got was a bit of salt from the batter. Chicken strips were over battered and over fried. We actually left a full strip because neither of us wanted to try and choke down it down. The only somewhat decent thing was the sweet tater fries. I never thought I'd say this, but after putting myself through something like this.... go to Culvers across the street. Far better service, better quality of food and just a better value for your money.

I really have no idea how this place has four stars on yelp. The burger was low quality and greasy. Thin fatty bacon. Fries were nothing special. I didn't make it much more than halfway thru the burger but I think that was less to do with size or more to do with the fact that it just wasn't worth finishing. This is a fast food joint, cheap and unsatisfying

I have been here several times with my family. Can be a but pricey (around $25 for 3 hungry people) but the food will definitely fill you up! I personally am a picky eater, so I always order the chicken strip with cheese curds. The chicken strips are a solid 6/10 for me. The actual meat itself is definitely real and is flowing with juices, although because of that it is very greasy. The batter for them is extremely tasteless, and I am thinking of adding salt next time I go. Other than that the chicken strips are delicious! The cheese curds are absolutely splendid! As a huge cheese fanatic, I almost always order a side of cheese curds if available. Slim's cheese curds taste fresh, and are fried perfectly. Again, hey are flowing with juices and are extremely greasy, so you're going to need quite a few napkins. The cheese isn't too strong, nor too bland. It almost tastes the exact same as the cheese curds you would get at the state fair. Overall, their food is fantastic. Quick overview: - Greasy, so you'll be needing at least 10 napkins. - Chicken tastes real, looks real, and is real. - Chicken batter could have some seasonings to spice it up, but salt should be enough. - Cheese curds are amazing, and are 8 times better than the ones you can get at the Culver's right across the street! - Runs a bit pricey (the chicken strips and cheese curds run at about $8) Chicken strips: 6/10 Cheese curds: 10/10 Overall, a solid 8/10! I would totally recommend this place to anyone!

Three strikes they are out. Never again. Got a small Gyro bowl - drive thru sign reads $6.99 - when I get to the window it's $7.49. They put the gyro sauce over the rice. The rice is somewhat old (hard), the gyro meat is over done, dry. It's at most luke warm. Don't waste your time or money.

Living in Canada now and I am missing the delicious fries from this place. My family was just having a conversation about the best fries we ever ate...Slim's fries is on my list!

Love their chicken wings. My favorite sauce is the sweet & sour. Their onion rings are really good too. As well as their malts, hamburgers, and gyros. My sister really likes their salads. Fun place, casual atmosphere.
