LEGENDARY
SLIDERS

Hawaiian roll. Grilled onions. American cheese. $3.50. Ask any regular — these are the slider in San Diego.

The WF Slider

A beef patty smashed on the flat-top, grilled onions, melted American, our house sauce — all on a soft, toasted Hawaiian roll. Sold à la carte at $3.50 so you can stack them however you want. Sub chicken or a veggie patty for $1. Sub the cheese (cheddar, bleu, swiss) for $1.

The Chicken Parm Slider

Breaded chicken filet, arugula, seasoned tomatoes, balsamic, tomato aioli. Same Hawaiian roll, same $3.50. Order two with a draft beer during happy hour and you've found one of the best food deals in Little Italy.

Why these sliders work

  • Hawaiian roll. Slightly sweet, soft, toasts like a dream.
  • Smashed beef. Crispy edges, juicy center, never frozen.
  • Built for stacking. Order one, two, or four.
  • Late-night ready. Kitchen runs until last call, every night.
