Slater's 50/50



Last night we went to Slater's 50/50 with my in-laws. My poor husband and mother in law both had stuffy noses and couldn't really appreciate the experience due to their lack of taste.

We started with the vampire dip - which was AWESOME! Garlic, artichoke heart, parmesan and mozzarella cheeses served with bread and the BEST pita chips EVER! I ordered a Nutella shake and my father in law ordered the heath bar shake. Nathan had a Coconut Porter from Maui Brewing Co. I really enjoyed my shake, but I was disappointed with Nathan's beer. There was really no coconut flavor at all.

For the main entree I decided on the Thanksgiving Burger - one of Slater's Signature Burgers. It was a 1/3 pound turkey burger with stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and sage mayo. Pretty good. The bun was super fresh and soft.



Nathan had a veggie burger. Enough said.


My father in law went with the signature 50/50 burger which is 50% Ground Beef and 50% Ground Bacon. Sounds good, but it was too mushy. Although it was cooked well done, it looked and tasted rare because of the high fat content of the bacon.

Over all, it was a good experience. And to top it off, I had a 50% off one entree coupon :)

I would definitely order the Vampire Dip again. Sooooo goooood. I would probably try a different burger - maybe the PB &J Burger with the PB &J Shake. That would be a yummie combo. They have a great selection of beer. They even had the Bootlegger Palomino Pale Ale on the menu, but were out last night. We went to eat early (4:30pm) before Nathan's game and the place was empty when we got there. As we were leaving at 5:30pm the place was packed with a wait out the door. So, if you go, go early. If you go to their website, http://www.slaters5050.com/home, there is a link to Open Table, where you can make reservations.
