Recently, Johnny Rockets joined the slew of other restaurants offering sliders. I'd been so disappointed with the rest of the sliders I've tried that I didn't consider trying Johnny's. Last night Elizabeth and I were doing some shopping in Old Town and I was very hungry and craving chili cheese fries. I figured we could get some at Johnny Rockets and, if the sliders were still on the menu, I could try those, too.
The sliders are served with your choice of four sauces: ancho chipotle, dijonaisse, blue cheese, and pepper relish mayo. I opted for the ancho chipotle. If I was still hungry after eating them, I planned to get an order with the pepper relish. Since I was sitting at the counter, I got to watch the cook throw three bundles of fresh ground beef on the grill, press them down, and grill them.
The sliders were great. These were the best I have had in a long time, not only light years better than any fast food sliders, but better than Jake's across the street, whose mini burgers I have always enjoyed. The ancho chipotle sauce was tasty and spicy. I have become accustomed to restaurants offering a "spicy" sauce that tastes only slightly spicier than ketchup, so it's nice to come across a sauce that is actually spicy. The bun was nice and soft. The sliders do not come with anything on them other than the sauce, so I added some diced onion to give them a little crunch.
Elizabeth ordered "The Original" - a burger with standard toppings. She enjoyed it, although it fell apart after just a couple bites and she had to eat the rest of it with a knife and fork. (The tomato was incredibly juicy and had turned the bun into a soggy mess.)
I was filling up after eating just a couple of the sliders, and full after eating the third. So there was no way I was getting another order. But I would like to go back and try them again with a different sauce. At just under $5, they are comparably priced to fast food sliders, but they are so much better.
