Slider Station — Restaurant in Toronto

If I could - 4.5 / 5. Everything was fantastic, barring some minor tweaks!

I came here for dinner last night - as of this review - with my girlfriend. We'd seen it on Instagram being hyped up by a few people I follow and it looked fantastic.

We purchased two Milkshakes, Mozzarella sticks ($10 for 2 + garlic dip and pickles), one of the Cheeseburger Slider boxes with Waffle Fries, A 5-piece Tenders Wednesday Special (came with Waffle Fries + a dipping sauce), and a side order of Mac & Cheese --- total was $63 and change for everything.

Price to Portion ratio is A+. The Mac & Cheese side portion, especially, was very hefty for the price you paid and everything was priced super fair with what you got. I loved that.

The composition of everything was great - the Waffle Fries were crispy (can get steamy if you leave in box for too long, so eat right away or freshen up in an air fryer at home), the milkshakes were really tight, and the composition of the cheeseburger sliders was great (pickles, mac sauce, onion, etc.)

Mozzarella Sticks had some good heft and we got a good cheese pull as well! Buffalo sauce was great.

Criticism:

My only real objective criticism was that the burger meat & the chicken tenders were VERY under seasoned. I don't add a lot of salt to my meals but it just felt that they both were lacking with a little bit of extra flavor due to the salt - moreso the burger than the chicken tenders. The tenders had some nice seasoning in another avenue (maybe celery salt or something to that extent) but a little bit of extra seasoning on the meat would bring it to a literal 'perfect' dinner.

Mac and cheese - noodles were a little too al dente and undercooked for my liking, but it was a great flavor.

Also - I believe they're added every day onto their Instagram Stories, but it would be more beneficial to have a better streamlined aspect to finding the daily specials. I had to really search for it and there's no pinned picture of the specials on the IG page, nor on the website. It could help make things easier for the customer moving forward.

Overall - barring the salt/seasoning issue: I'd definitely tell anyone to throw their hat into the ring and try this place out! I will be back in the future for sure. A great place to try...

My friends and I were actually celebrating a bday with a kamayan feast next door at Lakay Kusina.

As we entered the plaza, we noticed that there was a giant line out the door for this place so we were already curious.

Fast forward to post-dinner, a lot of us were still hungry and we didn't have plans so we decided to hop in the (still long) line.

We found out that there was actually a really cheap, special deal being advertised all over tiktok/social media and that was the cause of the line.

Well, we didn't opt for the promotional deal but instead opted for the jumbo box deal plastered at the bottom of the menu.

We ordered 2 jumbo boxes and got FOUR different burgers to try (3 cheese, 3 oklahoma smash, 3 smoked beef brisket, 3 korean fried chicken). I don't believe you can order single sliders (you have to order them in 3's).

Got our order and then walked across the street to eat them piping hot out the back of one person's SUV in the Staples parking lot.

These sliders were AMAZING.

MY GOD.

All extremely juicy (even the korean fried chicken one) yet maintaining all those crispy edges on the patties. The sauce was incredible and the buns were so PILLOWY soft. The jumbo deals also came w/ waffle fries and dipping sauces. The ranch dipping sauce is GOATed (like close to Wingstop ranch level). Admittedly, we brought the fries over to our friend's place to finish off the bday festivities and they weren't as crispy anymore having been in the box but holding them in my fingers, I know they had promising crunch initially.

The top ranked one for me was the oklahoma smash burger. I'm ordering a box of those on a return visit for sure!

Too bad I'm not a Scarborough mans otherwise I'd be a regular here lol.

Disclaimer: Make sure you eat the sliders asap after getting them! They don't taste nearly as good if you let them...

That was some of the worst food I’ve ever had. I got the triple double, which is what they are famous for, and spent $28 on it. I knew it was going to be overpriced but that wasn’t my main issue.

Let’s start with the sliders. That meat was extremely dry and tough. Little to no taste to it and the buns were extremely soggy.

The Nashville chicken tenders were also extremely dry and had no taste. All of the seasonings were just big blobs of powder on various parts of the breading. Extremely disappointing.

The fries were okay. For waffle fries that were drenched in seasoning, I, for some reason, thought they tasted pretty bland. Chick Fil-A or happy burger has much better waffle fries.

Finally, the mozzarella sticks were absolutely disgusting. I got the buffalo dressing on them, maybe that was the issue but the breading tasted exactly like cardboard. I took one bite and I knew that was enough.

Overall, the food was extremely bad for what you’re paying in my opinion. Everyone has hyped this place up because it’s like Chili’s from the US but please, do not go here expecting anything like that. Another thing I found very upsetting was the service. I’m not an onions person and I asked if I can have them removed and they said no modifications are allowed to the food there. I thought that was a little unfair but I digress. Maybe it was just an off day there but I think this needs to be said before everyone who sees it on TikTok storms over there.

Finally, expect a line, it’s a trendy spot now and you’ll be waiting at least 30 minutes by the time you...
