During my design consultation with a great couple that used to live in Kettering suggested we eat here. WOW the food is delicious, the service was amazing, but the atmosphere was what nailed it for me. We met Jack and he was a treat. Will most definitely return and tell everyone about this great place!!! Thank you, Jeff and Janice.

Although Slyders is a small neighborhood place, it seems to be very popular as it was quite busy for lunch. I would have to say that they are mostly known for their burgers. Companion one ordered the Giuseppe burger which was Italian style with provolone, red peppers, and a marinara sauce. Companion one stated, “If you like the meatball sub at Subway, then you would like this burger,” which was a compliment. It was felt that the fries were just okay, nothing special about them. Companion two ordered the chili salad, which they said was basically a haystack. Anywho, companion two thought it was more like a plate of nachos. It was felt that the chili was tangy and a little spicy, though the salsa, which was at first thought to be the grease from the meat, could have been drained a little. It was appreciated that the other toppings were on the side. Companion two said they would come back to try a burger. Companion three ordered the 7 oz. burger w/ cheddar cheese and fries. Again, nothing special about the fries as they could have used some salt, but the burger was cooked well and was good, though would have probably preferred American cheese. Companion four ordered a sampler of the potato skins, jalapeno poppers, onion rings, and chicken tenders for all to share. Companion one found the poppers to be really spicy, and I thought it was odd that there was cut up white onion atop the potato skins. After I scraped them off, it was your typical potato skin. Companion four also ordered a 7 oz. Mushroom swiss burger and onion rings. Again, the burger was cooked well and thick. Companion four is not a fan of raw onions but likes onion rings. However, it was felt that these onion rings were too “oniony” because of the cut and was not necessarily a fan of the beer batter. Companion five ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries. The burger was good and the bacon nice and crispy. Companion six ordered the Giuseppe burger and onion rings. It was not the first time ordering this burger and it was enjoyed thoroughly. The 7 oz. was more than sufficient, considering in the pass a 10 oz. was ordered and was too much meat. The onion rings were a favorite as well. The thicker cut of the onion is much appreciated as it pairs well w/ the beer batter not being heavy. As for me, companion six will be happy to know that I enjoyed my meal also. I got the 7 oz. cheddar cheeseburger w/ onion rings. The burger was juicy, although considering the thickness of the patty, it could have benefitted from being seasoned. I opted for the 7 oz. as I thought the 5 oz. would be too small, but I ended up not being able to finish my meal. I enjoy a beer battered onion ring and there was a lot of them. It was also very affordable, under $20 w/ a drink. So, bottom line, if you’re ever in the area and want to try a good burger, give Slyders Tavern a try.

Burger was pretty good. Onion rings were really good. Staff were friendly. We did wait awhile to get serviced and it is very small. It is your typical nice neighborhood bar.

Cutest, Comfiest Local Bar I’ve been to recently! I was recommended this place based off of how good their burgers are, and MAN were they right. Burgers were so delicious I felt a little bad that I didn’t order anything else, but that just leaves room for me to come back! Staff was super friendly and relatable, making banter with anyone around willing to chat
