Slider House Burger Co.

Decided to give them a go at Qualcomm stadium during a Chargers game. Do not waste your time. I don’t call myself a burger snob or anything but his place is very lacking in general quality of their burgers. Taste was bland. Avoid and stick to the stadium because your going to overpay for bad burgers.

I had a voucher for this place that was nearly impossible to use, there were so many restrictions on places i couldn’t go to eat it sucked. I went to a couple places and they told me I couldn’t use the groupon there. I tried to call the number on the voucher a couple times but never received an answer. I finally reached out over Unilocal to message him to see when i could finally use the groupon and he gave me a date and location to find the food truck. I drove 20 minutes to the place and the food truck never showed up. I asked the school and they said they left before setting up because they never booked with them and weren’t supposed to come. I messaged him again and didn’t receive a message for like a week. Thank goodness the last place I went to FINALLY the food truck was there and I just used it, what a relief.
*I will say that he stated I could have my money back if I didn’t want to use my groupon anymore, but how can I have my money back from someone who I can’t even get ahold of?
Also, the food was pretty good. Food I would give 4 stars, but overall using the voucher was 1 star so 2 stars overall.

The service was decent but I wouldn’t come back for the food. Came here to give it a try… calamari was over cooked, fish tacos lack seasoning, stale tortillas, and didn’t take skin off the avocado. Sliders — meh. The only thing they could do right is French fries

Only giving 2 stars because the fries were okay, albeit super greasy. The slider was about the size of a golf ball on a way-​too-​big bun. I don’t know why I expected more from a «cheddar bacon» burger than just a slice of cheese and 1 piece of bacon. No ketchup or anything. The bun was insanely greasy, and the cheese still had wax paper on it. Also, it took about 45 seconds for our order to be ready, so we know the burgers had to have just been sitting there for who knows how long. Not impressed at all. Should have checked Unilocal before trying.

Way over priced for a one bite burger, seems they raise the price depending where they are at. Sorry you won’t get my business if your intent is to cheat the customer. $ 4 bucks for one slider is ridiculous

Ok sliders, definitely some inventive flavors. But the sliders are very overpriced, $ 4 for one. A combo will get you 2 sliders and fries for $ 9, but that still feels overpriced for them. These are sliders, not full size burgers.

The workers at this food truck are extremely nice and a pleasure to do business with.
I tried the following items:
Boy Blue: Loads and loads of blue cheese (yum), even still burger was a little dry.
Early Bird: Delicious, one of the best sliders I’ve had in a very long time.
Cheddar Bacon Burger: Nothing special, since there isn’t much toppings on this burger it really shows that the patty itself isn’t seasoned much
Fries: The fries I received look different than the ones posted by fellow reviewers. My fries were battered and fried, making them super crunchy. These fries were the best fast food fries I’ve ever had. I do wish there was a sweet potato option though.
I really wanted to try the HiSo but it was crossed out on the menu :(
Cost:
They give you «2oz» of meat per burger, which is significantly smaller than the bun they use. 2oz for $ 4 is pretty steep, even for a food truck.
I’ll be back again.

Really don’t have many choices when you work at SPAWAR when it comes to food. Food is meh-​okay. This food trucks get greedy that the quality of service and food often suffer.
Today I ordered Boy Blue with Fries and Shaka with no fries for myself and a co-​worker. She charged me $ 9. And I expect 2 «Your my Boy Blue» slider burgers with Fries and 2 Shaka Burgers.
But what I got was 1 Boy Blue and 1 Shaka and fries. Oh and they are so quick to give you your food, that when your number is called so you do not have time to check your orders. When I asked her for the rest of my orders, she showed me the ticket that she wrote 1 Blue, 1 Shaka, 1 Fries.
To be honest, when I get upset in publc because of somebody elses stupidity, I just leave it be. Seriously, it doesnt take a degree to run a fucking foodtruck you know?
Lets review this. $ 9 Dollars for 2 slider sandwiches and fries. I could have gone to the regular Moody’s Foodtruck and get my Grilled Ham and Cheese with fries for $ 6. But I digress.
The BLUE BURGER Patty tasted like it barely touched the damn grill. Parts of it was cold and Im not exaggerating when I say its cold, it felt like it just came out of the cooler and placed on the flat grill for 10 seconds. **ATTENTION FOOD TRUCK OWNER” You can get people sick this way, and you can get sued.
The Shaka Burger was a little better. Well it doesnt take long to cook a spam (oxymoron, cooking a spam) and put a piece of pineapple on it and add teriyaki sauce and call it a burger.
You guys need to clean your vat once in a while where you cook the fries. When your fries are starting to looke burnt and it tasted like grease, its time to change the OIL that you are using.
This was an okay foodtruck when it first came here at SPAWAR. Now it just went down south, wayyyyyy down south.
Here’s some suggestions for you:
1. Listen carefully to your customers when they order then repeat their order.
2, Make sure your MENU Price reflect the right price. If your fries is 3 dollars and the burgers are 3 Dollars, how do you come up with Burger and Fries combo for $ 7.00 (WTF???) Bunch of geniuses here I see.
3. Cook your food thoroughly so you dont get people sick
4. If you want comeback customers and give you good reviews, follow steps 1 – 3.
For now, Im gonna stay away from this rolling garbage disposer.

Not the freshest looking burgers. The menu is promising, so hopefully with some changes they’ll get it right. Until then, I’ll pass.
I tried the Earlybird slider which is a 2 oz burger patty topped with a fried quail egg and Siracha sauce. See! Sounds promising, right? But somehow it lacked flavor and the patty looked unappetizing with that grey griddle grease still on it.
I’m giving them that 2^nd star for the effort they put into the menu.

Food trucks. With the possible exceptions of durian, stinky tofu and a scorpion shower, they can be some of the biggest love/​hate, hit or miss experiences out there. Will the truck be worth that price premium for the novelty and some (hopefully) elevated street-​side dining? Or will you have dropped $ 20 on something you can get for less money and in larger quantity elsewhere?
Slider House Burger Co.‘s truck is under the Moody’s umbrella, a company which owns a small fleet of food trucks specializing in various cuisines which crisscross probably most of San Diego each day. Unsurprisingly this truck serves out sliders, and you know what? They’re okay! The meat comes out a little dry like it’s been pre-​cooked and then re-​heated on a griddle, but the other ingredients thrown on seem pretty fresh. Out of the six mainstays, my favorite two are easily the Earlybird and the You’re My Boy, Bleu.
+Earlybird — bacon, guac and a fried quail egg? Yeah, I’m pretty much there fast, hard and often.
+You’re My Boy, Bleu — I’m quite the sucker for bleu cheese on beef in nearly any instance. A little more of that crisp salty bacon and onion strings thrown on top… as Louis CK once said, «When you have bacon in your mouth, it doesn’t matter who’s president or anything. Every time I’m eating bacon, I think, ‘I could die right now,’ AND I MEAN IT.»
I’d skip the fries unless you really need the carbo-​load for that marathon you’re about to not-​run later in the afternoon. The buns are decent, but you just kinda wish they had that nice egg wash to make them glisten a little in the sun. All in all, a food truck that I neither hate nor adore. That alone kinda makes it special, doesn’t it?

My friend and I stumbled upon this food truck yesterday while it was at the Mission Mall. I had the Western ($ 4) with Fries ($ 3) and my friend had the BBQ pulled pork ($ 3).
The Western was good. It had a great blend of favors and was a hearty portion for a slider. The fries were not worth $ 3. They lacked flavor and were just blah. The BBQ pulled pork on the other had was simply delicious! My friend & I almost bought another one just to keep that flavor in the mouth a little longer.

Tried the You’re My Boy Blue and the BBQ. Both were lacking flavor. The BBQ needed a large serving of sauce while the other’s beef patty was dry and bland. Not terrible, but nothing special.

Slider House is now showing up at SPAWAR Old Town on Wednesdays. I was excited because I’m ready for some new blood around these parts.
I tried two of the sliders. The Western which was OK and the HiSo which was awesome!!! The HiSo is a slider with prosciutto, gruyère, arugula and garlic lime aioli. I tend to think most aioli sauces are way overrated but in this case it made the slider very flavorful and light. They have a combo which is $ 6.00 for for 2 sliders (same kind) and fries. I’m glad I switched it up with a friend where we both ordered the combo and different burgers and then switched. He was the one who ordered the HiSo and if I hadn’t tried that burger vice the basic Western that I ordered I probably would never have ordered from them again.
So I will be back to try some other burgers if not for just that tasty HiSo.

The sliders were not fresh, the employees seemed like they were being held hostage, you could chew the lard from the patty being cold and reheated poorly, bread was meh, and no attention to the preparation or the freshness of their product.
Fries were relatively good. But overall, very dissatisfied and disappointed, should have gone with the mariscos truck that always sets up in this parking lot.

Great sliders! Tried the HiSo (with proscuitto) and one with egg and guacamole. HiSo was probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Great flavors. Fries are nothing to write home about, but they’re good.
This place is a definite «must try».

Man, I can’t tell you how disappointing this place is. I give it two stars only because of their creativity. The presentation was great but the meat was incredibly dry. I payed $ 8 for two sliders. I would be happy to pay that if they used quality beef but it’s just really not worth it. Skip this truck.

Caught the food truck at the weekly downtown food truck run. Tried out the Hi-​So slider and fries (each charged separate). Throw a drink in and it was roughly under $ 10. I thought the slider was actually pretty good and it had a different taste to it. Made out of prosciutto, arugula, smoked gruyère, garlic meaioli this had a rich filling flavor to it. For a small slider it pretty much filled me up. I dig it. I will try the other options next time I see this truck around town!

Pretty good. I think the long wait is from the amount of time it takes to overcook a burger party. They averaged a slider every 3 minutes. That’s about 6 minutes per customer. Not sure how viable that is. There was one customer in front of me so I waited about 12 minutes.
I don’t understand food truck law. Maybe they need to overcook the patty, or maybe they get complaints when they are pink. Maybe I’m spoiled.
The «western» was really good. The early bird was pretty bland despite the tasty description.
I’m not inspired to return.

I had it today for the second time and it was good! I didn’t wait as long as the last reviewer, (I waited about 5 minutes.) I will seek out their Early Bird again!

I just ate two Jack in the Box tacos for lunch.
That should tell you what I thought of my Slider House experience. But let’s set up this review with the story behind it. I regularly meet my lovely wife near her office for lunch. After hearing that a C Street food truck party had been created on Wednesdays, I obviously couldn’t resist setting up a lunch date to take advantage of the offerings. I had heard tales of the food trucks, specifically a great torta truck that was there last week, so I was pumped. I found a great parking spot, made it into downtown in record time, beating every red light. We cruised the food truck options and settled on Slider House. I was intrigued with their quail egg topped slider, and also eager to try their bleu cheese topped slider. Oh hey look, their line isn’t that long! Great! We place our order and are slapped in the face with the statement «it is going to be 30 minutes». I look around, realize that the other trucks are busy too, and we might have to wait in line for them, so I relent, hand over our cash, and sit and wait. I’m on lunch break from work, but maybe I’ll just stay late to make up for this slight delay. We sit. I watch slider get handed out to eager customers. Maybe the wait will be all worth it. Then I watch a lady go up to the window, complain that it has been 40 minutes and she hasn’t gotten her food. Guy at the window says 5 more minutes. 35 minutes have now passed since our order. I get fidgety. I go up to the window, ask where we are for my order, guy says at least 15 more minutes. Considering his original 30 minute estimate was now at the very least, 20 minutes off, I could see that 15 minutes turning into 30. Keep in mind, this is all for sliders. Small, thin pieces of hamburger that shouldn’t take AN HOUR to deliver. After doing the math, I go back up to the window, ask for my money back, and walk away. At this point, we don’t have time to get food anywhere else. We invested 40 minutes into this place with nothing to show for it except for frustration and extra work at the end of the day to make up for this disaster of a lunch. THANKS SLIDER HOUSE!
Judging from their Twitter, they have been serving for just shy of a month now. Way too long to have an operational disaster like today. I get it, the food truck fair brings in a huge influx of customers. But that’s not a surprise, it’s like that every week. It’s not like we were offered a discounted product for the 4^th rate service. At the least, if you can’t handle the orders, don’t take them and don’t take the money. It should be common sense that people at a mid day food truck fair are on lunch break from work and don’t have an hour to wait for their food (in addition to the time spent walking, selecting, and ordering). In my case, after the 40 minute abortion of a wait and the requisite refund demanding, I had no options but to go back to work — my wife had no choice but to walk back to her office and warm up her lunch of leftovers.
And that’s how I got to eat 2 Jack in the Box tacos for lunch. It was the only thing with drive through on the way back to work. Sliders would have been nice. They certainly looked OK for those lucky few who actually got the items they ordered. We, unfortunately, were not that lucky. I’ll be thinking of Slider House today when I am at work late, as well as when I’m sitting in I-​5 traffic due to the aforementioned late stay at work.
