Tried them for the first time in Shreveport about a month ago and was very impressed of how freshly made they were. I’m BIG on food being hot and fresh and their food definitely checks that box for me.

Had two biggie smalls and shared an order of their seasoned waffle fries…both were very good IMO. Went to the new one on Benton Road in Bossier last weekend and just got one biggie small and it was identical to what I got from the Shreveport store a few weeks prior as far as quality.

I’m a huge burger guy and I’ll definitely be a repeat customer and snag a biggie small every now and then.

I think some people here are comparing the sliders to something like 5 guys burgers, if so I understand the disappointed. It’s more like White Castle or Krystal, and in that space I think it’s pretty good.

So we should only compare burgers of similar diameters?

Had Smalls once, and I thought it was a fine fast food meal. Will go back.

I consider myself a fast food connoisseur but those seem to hit my stomach pretty hard the two or so times I got it.

It seems like they blow up and are jam packed for a few weeks then look like a ghost town after. I don't see them lasting

Yeah this is true. But I consider White Castle and Krystal to be one step above dog food

I've been once and got two Biggie Smalls and a fry.

The fries are waffle fries and were quite good. The burgers were small, greasy, but tasty. Think more like an upscale Krystal, with better beef, cooked until it gets a crispy exterior. The buns were nice, the burger just cheese, pickles, and their sauce.

It was decent, but I have not been back. If I want a fast food burger, I am more likely to go to Culvers, Whataburger, Jacks, or Del Taco (which, surprisingly, has a good Double Del burger that's basically like a Big Mac without the extra slice of bread).

I'd rather get a good ol' McDonalds cheeseburger which is cheaper and better imo.

Last time it was talked about on FDB everyone was shitting on them, but I think they’re great for what they are. Guilty pleasure fast food meal

I’m not convinced the slider fad lasts long term. But a lot of the territories in the southeast have been gobbled up. Early P&Ls are probably strong

That said, it’s good for what it is imo

building containers in a shop somewhere then creating a mostly drive though only fast food joint in unused parking lots is genius.



its genius but looks shitty. seems unfair to have standards for all the other buildings but these guys can come in and throw a shitty looking connex structure.

I had one once when they were served at child's birthday party. It was just okay. I didn't eat the whole thing. There were other more appealing food options.

I guess sliders are okay for party food or for children. A plate of small burgers doesn't attract me. I'd rather have a whole good burger. I think the smashburger at Sonic is pretty darn good and way better than the slider I tasted.

Glad y'all enjoy them. They obviously do a good business, but they're not for me.

I don’t like them. Crappy low grade thin tasteless patties.



I agree and I have tried them a bunch.

My kids love it though.

It's pretty great for what it is, but you need to be mentally prepared to feel like a fatass from the amount of grease you'll consume

Great option for a night out after drinking. Shouldn't really be looked at as anything beyond that. God bless your arteries if this place is in your weekly rotation.

I often get the Sliders from WalkOns, don’t know if they are the same. But those I enjoy.
