Before you get mad....... Slidin' Thru ACTUALLY gets a 2.5. I get it. They're nice guys, they fist bump you to make you feel special (even though you're not), they have a cool atmosphere with what some consider to be good music (I don't), and they serve (pretty) tasty sliders. I've caught the truck twice before in the past, and both times my stomach was still hungry and the pockets in my pants felt molested.
I'm not going to whack around the bush; Slidin' Thru's prices are outrageous. If you are like me and thought that 3 sliders for $7 was a bit much on the truck, you're going to be totally disappointed now. Seven hundred and forty six dollars for a single mini-burg. Just kidding! But you can pay upward of $3.50 for one burger; and as of opening day, no 3 for $7. How cheap! And not the good kind of cheap either.
In the end, I agree with the masses that Slidin' Thru has a lot of character and good eats. But unfortunately they also have steep prices and long wait times. Did I mention my slider buns weren't exactly fresh either? If I'm going to pay nearly four dollars for one tiny hamburger; it better give my mouth a boner!
While it's good to see Slidin' Thru open a location so close to my house, I think I'll take my three million Carl's Jr. coupons (thanks, mailbox!) to Uncle Carl and gets me some full-sized charbroiled burgers in the future. Call me cheap : I work hard for my money! The menu is refreshing and the fist bumps are a nice touch; but it'll take more than that to get MY yen.
