| - The Slider Truck has garnered some immediate successes upon their opening early this summer, and well worth it. You can't help but notice their truck as they go sliding on through! It's completely painted brightly with cartoon-like images.
My first experience with them was after the Las Vegas AIDS Walk where we had the Slider Truck pretty much to ourselves. There was no wait really to put in our order, so that was definitely something we appreciated. At the time, they were still experimenting with different burgers, so we only had a few to choose from.
One thing we did like from the start was the Pep Pep, which has sauteed onions, crisp bacon, fresh lettuce and tomato, melted cheese on top of a juicy patty along with their super sauce.
They also had the Pulled Porkie during that time, which has layers of pork on top of the toasted buns.
We also tried the Barbie had cheese and bacon over the burger, along with plenty of barbecue sauce.
For the price you pay, there is definitely a lot of meat in between those two buns and it's a moist burger too. We've paid more for a lot less - quantity and taste-wise, so this was a welcome addition to Vegas.
Our next experience was on a Friday night and long lines were known to be found where the Slider Truck was. In this case, there was indeed a line, but it was really the people gathering and waiting for their burgers. It was a good 45 minutes before we got our burgers. Ric came out from the truck to apologize for the long wait and some kid piped up, "It's worth the wait!" That pretty much sums it up!
Overall, we love the Slider Truck and the idea behind it. Sure, waiting 45 minutes for a burger brings the wait for truck food to a whole new level. We'll keep our eyes out for this truck, but we'll have to watch our clock too at the same time. We definitely want to see Ric and his crew do well. Owners who care about their customers and are genuinely excited about what they are doing is something we should all support!
