Sammy's Sliders — Restaurant in Winston-Salem

Stopped by here the other night, it's a nice slightly upscaled option over your fast food-adjacent options like Five Guys, etc. Simple concept, full menu of all sorts of sliders, including some chicken options.

Fries were good with nice texture, but a little heavily salted for my tastes (and I like well-salted fries!) You get a generous amount with the #1 combo. Dip-wise the cheese sauce is good, the house made ranch was a little too tangy/thick/mayo-y, the Polynesian was very sweet but great with the chicken options.

If you're diabetic, allergic to aspartame, and don't want water, you're out of luck. The only iced tea available was EXTRA sweet tea via the soda fountain. 🤷‍♀️

Finally, a word to the pickle lovers in the crowd, prepare to be horrified. They use SWEET PICKLES on the burgers. Mouthful of tasty slider and BAM - random notes of Christmas spice in the middle of your palate. It was so unpleasant and jarring it lost them a star for me. And yes, we did check at the front before we left - sweet pickles are the norm, they didn't get an incorrect delivery or run out. What a...

I needed lunch for myself and coworker thinking this would be a nice treat. She loved the food and really liked the frys, but I was personally put off and didnt order anything for myself because of the extremely lax use of masks and disregard for sanitation practices. Of everyone working in the kitchen, only the cashiers were even remotely close to wearing a mask correctly. Half of the staff handling food had their mask below their chin. What's the point of even wearing one if it's not covering your nose OR mouth?? Owners(? Maybe management?) Sitting to the side of the kitchen would walk back and forth from the dining area into the kitchen without a mask on. One girl was on her cellphone while making a service call and then went back to working in the kitchen without washing her hands. Employees going task to task without changing gloves, and all of this observed in the 10mins I stood waiting for my order. This is basic sanitation and hygiene. Please encourage your staff to be more vigilant with sanitation practices before someone becomes sick...

Boyfriend brought back food from this establishment the other night. It was delightful. I had my two sliders for dinner after a fast-food-free haul from the nether regions of Pennsylvania. One Cali that was a massive piece of chicken on a slider bun; much appreciated. And the other was this lovely burger with an onion ring with BBQ sauce and melty cheese on top. Ace. My side salad ended up being lunch for the next day.

Where the point for the review comes from, is that my boyfriend, upon sitting upon the couch this eve, disturbed the forgotten, but full, cup of Hi-Ci Fruit Punch had been placed the night before.

It tumbled from the shelf, to his shoulder, down the abdomen, and came to a rest on his lap - lid and straw still intact. I inspected the cup, expecting it to have been empty, but nay. We were observing the potential catastrophy that had narrowly been avoided, no bright red liquid being purged upon the cream and navy carpet, I looked to him and immediately wanted to commend this establishment.

Anyway, food was purdy good. ...
