Restaurant: Little Big's

2703 Montrose Boulevard
Houston, TX 77006-2732

It's the battle of the sliders. The runner up is Little Bigs in Montrose. Big poppa, mochi and I went for a run/walk at Memorial one Sunday and afterwards, I suggested that we go eat at Little Bigs so that we could finally try their sliders. I know. Sad huh? That's how we do it! We each ordered three sliders: the hand-breaded chicken slider no pickles add onions for me, beef slider with cheese for mochi and beef slider with no cheese for big poppa. I'm not sure how it is that I'm dating a guy that doesn't like cheese. Or mayo. Or creamy pastas. Mochi and I both had a frozen joe and big poppa had a vanilla shake. The vanilla shake was really good. I also enjoyed the frozen joe but it was maybe just too icy/slushy for me. I think I would have preferred for it to have more of a shake like texture. We also shared two orders of fries but one would have sufficed since we had so much left. I didn't even get to finish my third slider cos I was already reaching maximum capacity. The meat on the sliders were really good. Nice and thick and juicy. I normally do like caramelized onions but I felt that my chicken slider might have tasted better with onions cooked and grilled just til they're translucent rather than letting them caramelize. The worst part of the slider, which I feel normally makes or break any type of burger, was the bread/bun. It did not taste fresh. It was hard and kinda stale. I think this was the main reason why we ranked it second. The cool thing is that on Fridays and Saturdays, they close at 2am. I can totally see myself cleaning up after a night of drinking.
