Burger King is sliding into the slider game.
The fast-food chain announced that it will test a new “King Size Sliders Box” for a limited time — but it’s only available in two cities.
From April 14 through May 4, BK will be testing the king size sliders in Portland, OR, and Columbus, OH.
The company said that the new offering is bigger than a slider but smaller than a burger.
Guests can build their own box of two or six king-size sliders, mixing and matching from their choice of three flavors of the snackable burgers.
The Deluxe Slider is topped with fresh lettuce, tomato, pickles and tangy burger aioli.
The Steakhouse Bacon Slider features melty Swiss cheese, crispy bacon, crispy onions and peppercorn sauce.
The third option is the Bacon & Cheese Slider, topped with crispy bacon, melty American cheese and tangy burger aioli.
All three of the options have a “100% flame-grilled beef patty” and come on a “soft and buttery slider bun.”
“From sharing with friends to sampling a little bit of everything, the King Size Sliders Box is built for how today’s guests are craving more variety, more flexibility and no tough choices,” Burger King said.
A Reddit user shared that they got to try the new sliders at the Portland test market and said that the two-box was $6.99, and there’s a $10.99 combo meal option with two sliders, fries and a drink.
The user noted that they found it “weird” to have three different varieties but only offer a two-pack.
“Size wise, they seem slightly larger than what I think of as a slider but not by much. The toppings were pretty generous though and probably what set it apart from expectation for a slider,” the person said.
“I think maybe they’re worth it relatively since the flavors were good with both,” they added. “All in all, I’d rate them a 7/10 – good for what they are, more interesting to me than a plain cheeseburger slider, but I think they should be cheaper.”
The news comes shortly after Burger King announced that the Whopper is getting a makeover for the first time in nearly a decade.
The beloved burger is now served on a “more premium, better-tasting bun” and slathered in “better-tasting mayo.” Each Whopper will come “stacked tall with freshly cut onions and tomatoes and crisp lettuce, tangy pickles.”
The packaging also got a new look, coming in a box rather than being wrapped in paper.
