Ok, 2021 restart! Leaving behind some not too pleasant food experiences that the 2021 initially threw at us, we went with @Cherylynn's guidance and tried Sliders Burgers!
Thank you @Cherylynn for leading us to this gem of place right on W San Carlos street that we've travelled past so many times before but failed to notice this place.
Now that is how burgers are done!!!
And the exceptional customer service by the son of this father-n-son restaurant, shows how Bay Area still manages to keep the American dream alive - do things the right way, keep doing it and one can succeed in this country, pandemic or not!
So this is how how we ordered - we drove over , parked outside, placed the order by phone and the owner kindly came out and handed our order to us. Ever so pleasant and courteous on the phone, anticipating our need and suggesting options to suit our needs ( like packing all standard fixings on side to avoid burgers from losing their integral shape during takeout) , he was the epitome of customer service even during this COVID times and raises the bar of service for all other restaurants that we can expect!!
Now onto the actual order. In addition to regular beef burgers they do make and serve non-traditional meats.
Food Adventure hungry folks like us can try Bison, Elk and Ostrich. We went in for Bison and Elk for this time (yes hinting that we are to return soon!) Along with that we ordered a side of French Fries and their 12 count Buffalo Wings in the incorrect belief these burgers may be small and not as filling .
We were so wrong!!! Each burger was perfectly portioned for a single person's consumption and though we ordered extra we had nothing left for second, just because they were all so good!!
Both the burgers were perfectly cooked medium rare and I was in ecstasy with each bite of them. My wife swooned over the bison but I guess Elk was a tad gamey for her taste. No sweat! I was there to assist in devouring it. Yes we shared half of each so we found ourselves having no calories to put to our waistline (courtesy Leslie Sbrocco of PBS)
The American cheese chosen with the Bison burger was perfect and the Jack cheese chosen with the Elk burger kept the gaminess off the meat to a minimum for me.
And those Buffalo wings - thickly breaded, perfectly fired with crisp exterior and soft succulent meat inside, we will be coming back for more.
And finally those French fried - finally not those string fries , fried and salted to perfection. A must with all their burgers!
Kudos to this father-son team for making Sliders Burgers a happening place ! We will be coming back for more ! And I have yet to try Ostrich!
Folks do support such great places. We need to all that we can to survive this pandemic - together!
