🍔BEST SLIDERS EVER!
We can confirm the rumors that a new place just opened that serves mouth-watering sliders are 100% true. Smalls Sliders has officially opened its doors in Tomball, bringing its signature cheeseburger sliders to town. The concept is simple: fresh, made-to-order sliders that are easy to grab for lunch, dinner, or a quick bite on the go. The bright orange container-style building makes it hard to miss, and the drive-thru setup is designed for speed without cutting corners on flavor.
The menu focuses on what they do best—juicy sliders with melty cheese, crinkle-cut fries, and milkshakes. It’s a straightforward approach that keeps the spotlight on quality and consistency. Whether you’re stopping by after work, grabbing a late-night snack, or picking up food for the family, Smalls Sliders delivers a quick, satisfying option right here in Tomball.
(P.S. We also highly recommend trying the queso😋)
