I've been to Joe Fortes several times for Happy Hour ( 2013 , 2015 ) though I haven't blogged all my visits. Since I've tried so many items, I figured this time, in addition to various orders, I'd try their sliders. Joe's Mini Cheese Burgers (3 for $7.95) cheddar cheese, pickles, coleslaw UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST YOU ORDER THE MINI BURGERS. McDonalds has burgers that taste better than these sliders. The patty is... mediocre. Dunno why they even bother putting this on the menu. You get a thin slice of cheddar, a slice of pickle, and honestly that's all I can remember when I peeked in the burger. Still, you get 3 sliders for $7.95. Which works out to more than 1 burger patty of meat. Shove the coleslaw into your mini-burgers to make them more acceptable. Go to a real burger place, like Sliders on West Broadway, to get really decent sliders. Go to McDonald's if you insist on mediocre burgers. But leave the sliders at Joe Fortes alone. Everythin...
