Sliders, of course, are the star of its menu and can be upgraded with add-ons like bacon or extra meat. Other items include milkshakes, waffle fries, grilled cheese and a spicy queso dipping sauce.
In addition to its fast casual menu, Smalls Sliders is also known for its unique, bright orange drive-thru buildings called “cans,” typically made from repurposed shipping containers.
Purple Square Management is behind brands like Baskin Robbins, Dunkin Donuts, Popeyes, The Brass Tap and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
