Slater’s 50/50

"They have a nice selection of drinks, both beer and cocktails. We got the Nachos with chicken and the BBB burger. Nachos were OK. They are thin chips which aren't great for Nachos. The added chicken seems just like pre made chicken breast strips cut and thrown on top. The burger was good, had great flavor and didn't need a bunch of sauce. Fries also were really good. I would come back again."

"We often grab a quick meal and a cocktail or two before a movie. Slater's 50/50 has been long awaited. The barrier closing the space off and advertising the new restaurant that had been up since before the shutdown of 2020 has finally come down. We were very excited to try it out. It looks like a bar and grill with lots of tvs showing sports games. Its menu is very similar to that of Lazy Dog. I even ordered a fried chicken salad, which read as very similar to a dish at Lazy Dog. However, the restaurant, the dish, and the service all commpares very poorly. The service wasn't attentive or smooth. The chicken wings were decent. My salad was ok- fresh enough. The fried chicken needed some extra sauce. The dish also had what tasted and crunched like rocks. When I finally saw our waiter - I said that to him, but he insisted they were "cornnuts". I love corn nuts- ah, these were more like fried un-popped popcorn kernels- the ones you find at the bottom of the bucket. See the photo. I'm lucky to have not broken a tooth. We saw the waiter a total of three times in 45 minutes. Once to order, at the 26 minute he came by with our drinks. He made no comment about when the food would be ready. At the 35 minute mark, our food was delivered but not by our waiter. We were short utensils. We never were asked or got refreshed drinks. At the 45-minute mark, we saw our waiter and flagged him down. We got the needed sauce after we got our check. We managed to leave soon after and, yes, in time for our movie. Maybe the issues are because they just opened. However, I won't visit here again. There are plenty of other restaurants to try,"

"Upon entering, the staff were all incredibly kind and attentive, available to answer any of your questions. I had gone during lunch so it was relatively easy to get a table, but it does seem more limited towards seating so it could be a wait during dinner rush hours. The menu is focused on their burger and bacon offerings if that's what you're in the mood for but it was delicious! Feel free to ask about additions or customizations as well. My server was great at checking in with me and offering some recommendations as well. The atmosphere was great to be in, though given it's wide open wall windows and that it's on the second floor makes it look like it would look better after the sun goes down and more lights come on! My food was great, the portion of burger and fries easily filled me up and my cocktail was as refreshing as it sounded. The burger was cooked to a nice medium and was juicy when biting into it. The fries were a bit of a mixed bag with some being hot and crispy while others were still somewhat warm and floppy, but they came with their own made ketchup which was tasty! They have quite a variety of options and I would definitely come back to try more of their menu items!"

"The whole staff was awesome, and the food was just as I remembered the first time I had it in Anaheim Hills! It's a huge change from the Hermosa location and hope this time it takes off. Shout-out to our server Anthony for taking care of us. Glad to have Slater's back in the South Bay!"
