Show me a better slider. And if you say White Castle, you're getting slapped.
Whisler’s is SGF’s retort to the years of cries for White Castle. Their sliders crush the mainstream counterpart, while even offering bags of burgers to serve those who crave a Crave Case. The best part is you can grub these delicious handfuls of heaven for less than that $5-bill in your pocket.
The downtown burger joint (next to Hearts of Fire at 208 W McDaniel) is the first franchised location of the restaurant which opened in Carthage in 1953. Whisler’s offers a large variety of burgers, including the Sow and Cow (bacon and hamburger), Pig and Bull (ham and hamburger), and the Farm Burger (bacon, ham and hamburger). They even offer a veggie burger.
Sliders cooked fresh on a flat top in front of your eyes.
The Pig and Bull is the (biased opinion blast) marquee slider on the menu. After a couple days of poor diet, I decided to go on a limb with the veggie burger and was not disappointed. A little less grease, but honestly you don’t go to a famed slider spot for vitamins. Next time it’s Pig and Bull all the way.
There is limited seating with room for four to sit inside and a couple patio tables on the sidewalk, so grab your burgers and take them on the run or kick it fountainside.
You can go with the lunch specials or create your own burger combos and still keep under five bucks.
