Instead, I was served what looked like breaded chicken lingerie.
These tenders were so tragically thin they felt indecent. Not tenders. Not strips. These were chicken suggestions. Chicken whispers. Chicken that clearly skipped leg day, arm day, and every other day involving substance. I’ve seen cocktail straws with more girth. I’ve seen dental floss with more presence.
Girthies, your name is writing checks your tenders absolutely cannot cash.
I wanted something thick, juicy, satisfyingly substantial. Something with weight. Something that fills the hand, not something that vanishes like a guilty thought. But no. What arrived were frail, narrow little slivers that looked like they’d been shaved down by someone terrified of commitment.
And biting into them? Deeply unsettling. The breading slid off in clammy sheets like damp skin, exposing chicken with the pale, exhausted look of something that had been cooked far beyond the point of mercy. Not juicy. Not tender. Just weirdly wet in that suspicious, vaguely sweaty way that makes you question your life choices mid-chew.
Every bite felt like chewing on a breaded identity crisis.
Even the portion size felt like an elaborate prank. A whole basket of tenders, yet somehow still not enough girth to feel satisfying. It was like being handed a pile of skinny disappointments and told to pretend this counts as indulgence. Quantity without thickness. Volume without substance. A parade of underwhelming narrowness.
The fries didn’t help. Limp. Greasy. Flaccid little starch noodles soaked in oil that tasted like it had been reused since the dawn of time. Oil with trauma. Oil with baggage. Oil that has witnessed countless similarly inadequate tenders pass through its murky existence.
And the sauces? Beige puddles of apathy. Lifeless. Emotionally unavailable. They didn’t enhance anything; they just sat there, quietly complicit in the overall tragedy of insufficient girth.
Girthies, you cannot swagger around with a name like that and then hand people chicken tenders with the physical profile of breaded shoelaces. It’s not just false advertising. It’s culinary catfishing.
I came craving girth. I left haunted by thinness.
Two stars. One for the comedy. One for the sheer, unbelievable audacity of calling this “Girthies.”
Food was not fresh at all, none of it – chicken, fries and bread were all dried out and old. Wasted $30. My kids won’t even eat the fries! Frustrating and disappointing. Customers expect fresh and hot food. We pay for that! Idc about your waste costs, manage how much your team is cooking during down times vs peak times and that solves your waste/ inventory variances. Follow hot hold times and dispose of the product when that timer expires. Don’t serve food you wouldn’t even want to eat. Also, change your soda bags, the drinks were awful too. There are so many competitors that sell chicken… Guthries won’t last serving this kind of food to customers. We will stick to other chicken places in the future!
Chicken nubs.
Not fingers. Not tenders.
This looked like the cooking/food prep staff just scraped the bottom of the fryer and put whatever was in there in the box. Pretty insane and disrespectful…..
Paid 11 bucks for the meal including extra sauce and fries. I know local chicken places that pale in comparison to this who are more generous and they’re not a chain.
Drive Thru staff were nice but their food staff on the other hand….
Certainly don’t plan on going to another Guthries any time soon and hope I can get a refund or a voucher at the very least.
Update: Never heard a word from their corporate office after a month or so. Yep- can confirm won’t ever go to Guthries again if I can help it. Cheapskates….
