SLATERS 50/50 — Restaurant in San Jose

We got to the mall thinking about another spot until my friend pointed out a brand new restaurant he hasn’t seen before, so we decided to pick it out. Now to be honest we waited pretty long to get a seat and there were many others waiting after us as well. Instead of waiting for a table, we decided to head for the bar and sit there. I guess we lucked out our bartender/server, ‘Heidi’, was very enthusiastic and helpful while ordering for food and the beverages. The restaurant was having a tough time, staffing issue was very noticeable and food was taking awhile to get to the tables. Our appetizer came to our table with our sandwiches, which we didn’t mind at all. I ate the biggest burger item on the menu with two patties and a fried chicken stacked on. To many it would be a very heavy load kind of a meal, but to me who’s prior night was wild drinking session, it was kind of godsend. All in all, the food was good, there were many options on the drink menu, the staff was friendly, etc. this made my review score high for today at least.

However if you’re crunching for time and wanted to drop by for a quick, tasty burger lunch or something like that. You might want to think about another option. Their service was decent, but timing was an issue. If you got all the time in the world and just want to hang back with ice cold mug of beer in hand waiting for a great burger option, this is it. But if not, it’s not...

I came here on a Monday night with the family for my brother-in-law's birthday. It was January 2nd so it wasn't busy at all. We got seated right away. The waiter took our orders right away and made recommendations. He answered all our questions and was very attentive. We ordered the frickles, jalapeno poppers and chicken wings. Everything was really good. For our main course we all got something different and everyone really enjoyed their meals. My brother in law got the sweet potato fries with the pumpkin sauce and it was amazing. Sweet but not overly sweet. My sister got the garlic fries and they were nice and buttery but not too much garlic. I got the onion rings and they were nice and crispy. I ordered the Hi- Brow burger because I absolutely love grilled onions and blue cheese on a burger. Idky but I was impressed they asked out we wanted the burgers cooked. Not sure if other burger places do that. My mom got the southern Fried chicken salad, which I might try next time. And of course we ordered milkshakes. My brother in law got the adult chocolate mint milkshake which also had Guinness beer. I ordered the Happy Happy Birthday shake to share with my daughter. It was vanilla ice cream with sprinkles. My parents got the strawberry shake to share. Overall a great experience and I can't...

Food: 7.2 / 10 (will go up once they get a better beer selection)

50/50 Slaters is a popular burger chain known for their unique blend of beef and bacon in their patties. I recently visited their restaurant and was blown away by the burgers and milkshakes.

The burgers at 50/50 Slaters are truly to die for. The bacon and beef blend in the patties adds a depth of flavor that you just can't get from regular beef patties. The toppings were fresh and delicious, and the buns were nicely toasted. I also appreciated the variety of burger options available, with unique and interesting flavor combinations.

The milkshakes were also a standout. They were thick, creamy, and had a rich, decadent flavor. They were the perfect complement to the burgers.

While the food was exceptional, I did feel that the beer selection could use some improvement. While they had a decent selection, I was expecting a bit more variety and options.

Overall, I highly recommend 50/50 Slaters for their incredible burgers and milkshakes. If you're looking for a unique and delicious burger experience, this is the place to go. While the beer selection could be improved, the quality of the food more than...
