Slim Chickens

You'll find this Arkansas import tucked into the Designer Outlet, which might seem like an odd spot for proper fried chicken, but don't let the location fool you. The buttermilk-brined bird here is genuinely decent – crispy, juicy, and seasoned with enough punch to make you forget you're eating chain food between shopping trips. The loaded chicken and waffles are properly indulgent, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with crispy strips. Their mac and cheese actually has some bite to it, and the coleslaw isn't the soggy afterthought you'd expect. Sure, it's not going to replace your local chippy, but when you're craving that American-style comfort food fix after hauling bags around the outlet, it hits the spot perfectly.
