If you’re rolling through Forest City with a craving for comfort food done right, Slim’s is exactly where you want to land. From the moment you walk in, you get that “you’re among friends” vibe—no fuss, no frills, just genuinely good food and genuinely good people serving it.
The menu hits all the classics, but everything comes out tasting like someone in the kitchen still believes in doing things the old-fashioned way: hot, fresh, flavorful, and without any shortcuts. The burgers are juicy, the fries are crisp and addictive, and the portion sizes are generous enough that you leave full but still thinking about what you’ll order next time.
Service is quick, friendly, and attentive in that small-town way that feels effortless. You can tell the locals love this place—and after one visit, it’s easy to see why. Slim’s is one of those spots that proves great meals don’t need to be complicated, just made with care.
Whether you’re a traveler, a regular, or a hungry geocacher between finds, Slim’s is the kind of place you’ll be glad you stopped at. Highly recommended!

Slim’s Bar & Grill has become a go‑to spot for me and my family, and it’s easy to understand why once you’ve been there. They’ve built a reputation for serving generously sized portions no matter what you order, and the quality matches the quantity every single time. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or just something casual, you always leave satisfied.
The food is consistently good across the board, and it’s one of those places where you can’t really find anything to complain about. The staff treats you like regulars even if it’s your first visit, and that friendly, down‑to‑earth vibe makes the whole experience even better.
The move to their new location around the corner has only improved things. The space feels fresh and comfortable, and it still carries that familiar neighborhood feel that keeps people coming back. It’s clear they put thought into making the new spot welcoming and convenient for their loyal customers.
Slim’s is the kind of place you’re always happy to return to—great food, great portions, and great people. A+++++

Boo was told about this place by a coworker. We got to Forest City a lot more than Spartanburg. We love the small-town feel and Chesnee is not hitting on much. We have a very select number of restaurants. I am a true burger and homemade fries kinda girl. This is my favorite meal and I love new places. So we found it on a side street in downtown Forest City. Never seen the place who knew. We got parking in the front of the Slims. Went in and got seated immediately. They have a top floor. Then a set of stairs that go down and a bottom floor. The waitress was very nice. I loved the vibe of the place it just felt homey. They said the bar they did serve beer. It was more family-oriented than individuals. The food was delicious. I got a cheeseburger with Chili. mayo lettuce. Fries with homemade honey mustard . Boo got a cheeseburger all the way with onion rings. B got the burger with the top and bottom being grilled cheese sandwiches. He loves the show where the man eats the big meals. I think it’s like man against food or something. He thought he could eat it all plus onion rings. Boy was he wrong he had to bring half the burger home. The meat was fresh the fries were crispy. I don’t eat onions. They both said the onion rings were delicious. The only thing I wished for is I like the larger fries and not the shoestring fries. Most of the time you get a lot of end pieces. I understand why a restaurant would do this. They got further and they cook faster. I am simply giving my honest opinion as always. We will be back.

food was great. Atmosphere was amazing and the service was great but I have one suggestion. Coming from someone who has lived near Philly and has plenty of cheese steaks. The Philly cheese steak you have needs a better hoagie roll, need to add cheese and peppers. instead of the onions small in the steak which was juicy and well made otherwise the onions plus green peppers need to be sliced and grilled. Otherwise an awesome place to eat.

Not of the healthiest but every time I go I have to have the Not So Slim burger!!! Its addictive!! It is a burger inside of 2 grilled cheese sandwiches! I also love their fresh made fries with their malt vinegar. Our littlest lady loves their hotdogs and this time my honey got the Philly which was pretty good. Definitely recommend!!

Service sucks. Waitresses ARE NOT WELCOMING OR FRIENDLY.
Our 4th time coming in, seriously need some personnel training. Foods okay, used to be better, but service remains I’m not going back.
