Smalls Sliders — Restaurant in Gonzales

Was driving between New Orleans and Lafayette, flight was late so got in too late to go where I had planned to stop to eat. Normally shun chains, but it was late, they were open and there was long line of people there so gave it a shot. It was also some opening special, or anniversary special and you got an extra slider with any order. So enough disclaimers, here is my review.

Got a two pack and fries and a drink, so got 3 total, under $10. They are small which might turn off some people, but was impressed with the mighty flavor of the little slider. Bun was warm and was buttered, more artisan than your White Castle, plus better meat and better cheese, and seasoning vs usual tasteless fast food. Fries were waffle fries, like Chick-Fil-A. All fresh, and delivered hot in styrafoam, which might also bother some, but say what you will it did its job keeping the food hot. Strange as it sounds, a nice presentation of fast food late at night.

Think kid sized food flavored for adults. Not a bland hamburger, by any means but nothing screaming at you other than a good old fashioned well prepared small burger with more meat than you would expect. Think in the family of costlier sliders at a bar, but cheaper, and of course no liquor.

They have outdoor seating, and drive through. Very busy so was slow, but to be expected with the free slider promotion. First time there but don't think quality suffered because of crowd, as the burger was far, far better than I had expected or even hoped for.

Good meat which was surprising for a cheap burger combo, and real cheese with flavor. Like their late hours when everyone else is closing earlier, and found them to be a step up over fast food.

Again, it they are small but when you are named "Smalls" not sure why this should surprise you, and you can order as many as you want depending on how...

I knew it was going to be trouble when the order taker gave me back the wrong change and got an attitude. And it was downhill from there the customer service is terrible especially from the big guy with glasses who claimed to be the manager but wouldn’t give his name. I ordered 3 meals made the same, a young lady apologized for taking our order from the back and making the error and said she would fix it however they are out of queso. Then the big guy comes and says he doesn’t care what she said he’s the manager and he would need to ring the order again. For us no big deal what’s the difference since we already paid. He could not provide a difference. This was my first time there and eating cold food was not ideal. I won’t be returning to this location. I’ll take my chances at jack in the box across the street next time...

It took about 5 minutes for us to even be able to Place an order because they server told us to wait until she’s allowed to take orders again. It’s been about 20 minutes in line and we still don’t have our order which was $9 so it’s not a lot of food to take that long. There are three cars in front of us that still haven’t received their food and they’ve been here much longer than I have. Horrible service. I’ll write another review whenever I receive my food so in about another hour....
