I had tried this place in Covington when it was only Fat Boys Pizza and stopped going about a year ago because the pizza was underwhelming with sparse toppings. I was excited to hear that they partnered with another restaurant (Savvy Sliders). After looking on their website I couldn't wait to give it a try. The sliders looked SO GOOD! The location is great, and the outdoor seating is nice. It has such potential, but I could not have been more disappointed.
The photos of the sliders on the menu are fabulous, but don't expect your slider to remotely resemble them. First, I almost laughed when it was brought to the table. It was TINY, even by "slider" standards. It looked like something that would be served on an hors d'oeuvre tray at a wedding reception. But that aside, the bun didn't resemble the nice, toasted one on the menu. No way. It was smaller, pale, untoasted/unheated, and mushy in texture. It was the kind of bread that I would expect to make at home on my first attempt.
The slider was supposed to have grilled onions on it. I guess if you looked closely enough, they weren't lying, but not enough of it to taste. The slider also had no flavor whatsoever -- no salt, no pepper, no nothing, and there was no salt on the tables. It was supposed to have cheese, but there was so little of it, I couldn't see it or taste it.
The French fries were awful, so I threw them away rather than consume the calories. They were lukewarm, undercooked, and soft -- exactly as you probably remember the frozen fries from your school cafeteria. How this concept ever got franchised is beyond my comprehension.
I don't see how this place survives with overpriced awful food like this. As much as I like the location and ambiance, there is no way I'll go back. It ranks up there with the worst lunch I've ever had, and I eat lunch out 7 days a week. read more
