Knight Slider

One of Buffalo’s best food trucks. Super-​nice staff and there isn’t a bad slider on the menu. There are even a few «healthy options» if you’re into that sort of thing – the scallop slider is delicious and I think the falafel on the «12 O’Clock» slider is the best in WNY.
My absolute favorite sliders are the ones that feature game meats and seafood – these are well worth making a special trip out to the truck even if you’re not in the area. Know another truck where you can get sea bass cooked on a Himalayan salt block? Where you can get ostrich with blueberry-​Port compote?
I didn’t think so.
Expand your horizons and track these folks down. You’ll be glad you did.

My fav food truck! The Kitt slider is my usual breakfast at the NT farmers market every Saturday and I always try to take new folks for that first experience whenever the truck is near! When I’m feeling healthier, the 12 o’clock falafel slider is my fav :) Everything is great– truffle fries, breakfast sliders and the staff are always awesome! It also never hurts when I can see the staff purchasing products at a farmers market that will be on my burger in a matter of minutes!

I nabbed one of Knight Slider’s Goat Cheese Sliders while making the rounds at Food Truck Tuesday’s.
I’m a sucker for goat cheese and from there it seemed like it was the only option for me. The portion was worth the price and the grilled tomato really carried its own.
However, I was a little disappointed by the lack of balance. There was more goat cheese on the burger than there was burger on the burger or any other ingredient. I didn’t feel like this warranted a whole minus one star because like I said goat cheese is my homie and is probably the most expensive ingredient on the slider. Can I really complain about a truck not skimping on the deliciousness that goat cheese is? No. I can’t. So, five stars for you.

I tried Knight Slider last night at Larkin. I had Eggsplosion and Kitt Slider.
I woke up this morning craving the Kitt Slider.
I had my nasty veggie-​burger patty for lunch, wishing it was a Kitt Slider.
I am writing this review, mouth drooling, thinking of the Kitt Slider.
Don’t get me wrong, the Eggsplosion was good too, but the Kitt was the greatest thing I’ve eaten. Ever. It made me so mad I’ve gone literally years before trying Knight Slider.
The service was great! There was no wait to go up and order and about a 5 minute wait for the food. It came out steaming hot, which I always like because it shows it’s freshly cooked!
The bacon in both burgers was very crispy. Not rubbery, like other food trucks serve. The egg was perfectly fried over easy and the cheddar in the Eggsplosion was very sharp. It was great!
The Kitt, if you couldn’t tell, was my favorite! The cheese topping was amazing! It had a rich taste, but I liked it!
Our total came to $ 10 — $ 5 each. I thought it was very reasonable and was stuffed after eating.
I will definitely come back!

These guys are awesome. They came to Ray Laks Honda today for lunch and they couldn’t be any nicer.
Let me start off with the truffle fries… delicious! They were perfectly seasoned and topped with pure goodness. They left me with some serious garlic breath, and that’s not a complaint, it’s a complement.
The burgers, don’t get me started. They are always changing up their menu so every time you stop here it’s always a new experience. I had the goat cheese burger. The beef patty was cooked perfectly, nice and juicy. It was loaded up with fresh goat cheese, grilled tomatoes, and sliced cucumbers. Perfect execution.
To the guys on the truck, thanks again for stopping by and we hope to see you back soon! I’ll definitely be coming to find you at your next spot for some more awesome grub.

So after my amazing experience at Allen Burger Venture, I realized I need to put my vegetarianism on hold in order to see what the meat world has to offer. I finally got to try Knight Sliders at the NT Farmer’s Market and now I know I made an excellent decision in going burger crazy. WOW. Juicy, crunchy, cheesy, gooey deliciousness right in the palm of my hand. I got the Kitt and my dude got the Eggsplosion. Mine was a blast of delicious bleu cheese. His tasted like a breakfast sandwich with every American’s fantasy… MORE MEAT. The egg did as the title promised. It was a nice sized portion, perfect for strolling and browsing. While I understand quality costs, I definitely agree about the price. I believe Maria said the same slider I got was $ 4 last week, but we paid $ 5/​each for both of ours. I would have been happy to pay $ 4. I definitely would be willing to try more if it were slightly less expensive.

Recently these guys were at the North Tonawanda Farmers Market on a Sat. Nice surprise, or else Ive just never noticed them before. I had arrived at the market around 7:30 and already made my way around. Picking up some great early season veges. But it was 8:30 or so and as I was heading back to the car I saw this truck. And a line outside it. So I checked out the food on offer, and they have a «breakfast slider». I get that the point of this truck is sliders, so of course that was the breakfast offering. You could have it with fried or scrambled egg, ham or bacon as the meat. The cheese was one option.
I ordered one. $ 4! for what came out was a small bun (which AGAIN, somehow was too much bread) with bacon, egg and cheese. There was more tin foil than actual food.
This was a $ 2.50 or $ 3 sandwich at best. One egg, one half piece of bacon and some cheese, with lots of bread. I will say, the little bacon I had was tasty, so they should add more to each sandwich. My scrambled egg was also good, but a very small serving. I may actually have «gotten more for less» at McDs. And McDs has a mean bacon, egg and cheese on a biscuit. I can hear the groans. But its true.

Simply delicious!
I was nearby at the Larkin Food Truck Tuesday — they weren’t at that event, but they were in the lot of Flying Bison. It was too crowded at FTT so I came over here to give them some love. In return, they gave me a delicious little slider and side of fries.
The Eggsplosion. What can I say? A little palm-​sized patty, cheese, onion, and a perfectly fried egg, lovingly wrapped in foil. I took my little treasure and my side of truffle fries into Flying Bison and devoured them. The egg yolk was warm and runny and made everything taste awesome. The fries were grand. The guys in the truck were warm and friendly, and also gave me some advice on what time to visit them when they are in my work neighborhood.
They rock!

I love this food truck. Never disappointed with any slider that is ordered. Went tot he Farmer’s market at N. Tonawanda today and was hoping to order the «I Need a Break» or «Eggplosion» but they were out of bacon, instead I got «The Hoff» which was a beef patty slider with cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, fried onions and a chipotle sauce. Although I’ve had this before, it is still something that gets the job done. I love the fact that the owner gave me a discount due to not having bacon for my original choices, that deal can’t be beaten.

For some reason I’ve always walked by the Knight Slider at Food Truck Tuesday without paying much attention to the menu. I ended up going there today because it was pouring and it had a shorter line (probably because they weren’t accepting credit cards). I am very happy that I finally got to try it! I ordered the slider topped with goat cheese, tomato and cucumbers. It was absolutely delicious! The burger itself was cooked to perfection. They were extremely generous with the goat cheese, which made me very happy. I am eager to return and try the falafel & hummus slider. Definitely one of the best food trucks I’ve ordered from!

Awesome burgers!
I can’t believe I hadn’t ever tried the food from this truck until yesterday, but I can now say that the fare from here is my new food truck favorite!
I ordered 2 sliders– the 12 o’clock and the I Need A Break. On one hand, I had been craving falafel so it only made sense to order that slider. And on the other hand, the promise of bacon, BBQ, and fried onions on a little burger tickled my fancy as well. I was tempted to try the truffle fries but passed. They looked amazing though… Next time.
The 12 o’clock was AWESOME! The falafel was sooooo good! The soft, buttery bun complemented the spicy, crispy falafel so nicely. The hummus and tomato/​cuke/​lemon salad added great flavor and acidity. I wanted 10 more of these after I finished the first.
The I Need A Break was equally awesome in an entirely different way. The meat pattie was perfectly cooked and really tender. Tasty too! The toppings were as promised and delicious! The perfect burger, I must say. Better than any I’ve ever had in a restaurant, truly. Loved it!
After 2 sliders, I decided enough was enough. Perfect portions, great flavors. I was satisfied in a way other food trucks have failed to provide me with. This truck is definitely my new favorite and I look forward to trying more sliders from here the next time I’m in food truck land! Yum!

I got a falafel burger with hummus, cukes and tomatos. One of those healthy choices Larkin Square requires trucks to have. It was delicious and sizable, probably the same size as a fast food burger but absolutely quality and delicious.
The workers were really welcoming and the experience was really comfortable.
They only had Sprite to drink but luckily i’m into it.

I do not have a job that lends itself to trying out food trucks who are usually the busiest during lunch, so when I am on vacation, I try to treat myself. I found that Knight Slider was at a new location for them near the airport as I was on my travels running errands so I decided to try them out.
My only previews of the menu came from the Buffalo Food Trucks general site earlier in the morning. I had only read a few reviews, so I was going in without much previous knowledge. I got there without much of a crowd as it was pre-​noon and went with the combo for $ 8.50 of two sliders and fries.
Have to say that the two burgers I had were two of the best ones I have had in a while. I went with The Kitt (parm/​blue cheese sauce and bacon) and The «I Need a Break» (cheddar, fried onions, BBQ sauce). Both had soft, substantial burger buns that were perfect for the size and the patties were moist, piping hot, and not dried out! Each of the set of toppings were tasty and fresh. I could just eat spoonfuls of that parm/​blue cheese sauce. The fries were crisp, hot, and I liked the lemon parsley blend for a nice bright contrast to the burgers/​toppings.
Truck staff was super friendly, food came out fast, and my mouth is already watering thinking of my next trip to the Knight Slider!

I grabbed a scallop slider tonight from Knight Slider and was less than impressed. The scallops were floppy and the pairing with some Asian ‘slaw left me unsatisfied. I didn’t finish the sandwich. I did see a number of tasty looking sliders while I waited. I would suggest sticking to something more beefy. Their default medium temperature is welcome. I will be back as I want to try some of their burger sliders.

Out of orders from 5 different food trucks last Tuesday at Larkin, the Knight Slider’s burgers were tops in taste in my family’s opinion.
Tried the Hoff and Kitt. For $ 3.50 they are a decent size burger for a slider. Two for the price of $ 7 should fill you up and more than worth it in my opinion. I like the Kitt with its parm-​bleu cheese blend just a slight notch above the Hoff but both were excellent.
Took me a bit to finally find them, but well worth the wait. Will have to see about finding them again around town for sure.

I’ve had a tough time tracking this one down; no website, no calendar, just a twitter feed. But that’s my only complaint.
I finally checked them off my «to-​try» list today after work. I really wanted a burger but was considerably torn when I saw the Seared Scallop Slider with Asian Slaw. I decided to be a pig and order both that and The Hoff Slider which is a beef patty with sharp cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, fried french onions and a homemade chipotle sauce.
I had the Scallop slider second because I love scallops and haven’t had them in a long time and I wanted to savor the flavor. It was very good but I think the bread actually distracted from the delicious taste of everything inside. I’d actually love to just have a bowl of that Asian Slaw with the Seared Scallops.
So I ate the Hoff Slider first and that was A-​mazing! Spilling with both caramelized and french fried onions, the mixture was just incredible with that chipotle sauce! The burger was done a delicious medium-​well with just the slightest touch of pink. It was outstanding! I *almost* ordered another one to take home with me.
I hope these guys can make themselves easier to find because I look forward to trying more of their menu… along with another Hoff Slider. :)

Certainly a gourmet burger truck!
I had (through 2 visits) the Kitt, Hoff, and I Need a Break.
All were outstanding!

Review of the 12 o’clock falafel slider only: I LOVE it. I’ve had it twice now and it’s my favorite vegetarian offering of any food truck’s food that I’ve tried so far. This is my kind of falafel; properly loaded up!
I usually take issue with falafels because they can tend to be dry if not made properly, but this baby is topped up with hummus, cucumber, tomatoes, lemon zest and whatever else that truly makes my taste buds dance with joy. I love the myriad of flavors all hitting my mouth at once. It’s a slider so it’s pretty small, but two of these babies will fill up even the hungriest behemoth.
This truck also offers some scallop sliders which I haven’t fully tried. I have tasted the scallops, which are incredibly fresh — but not the sliders themselves. They’re usually sold out of them by the time I get here.
Love this truck!

Perhaps I could have saved myself the despair had I thoroughly read the menu, so I take half the responsibility. However, when you are in a long line and there are people everywhere, you feel a little under the gun to make a rapid decision.
So when I read the menu posted on the truck I saw «12 o’clock slider», followed by «our homemade premium falafel», then blah, blah, blah skipped over the rest. Had I have read the *entire* description as follows: Homemade premium falafel, pickles with homemade cucumber, tomato, lemon and parsley salad topped with homemade hummus spread in a mini pita, I may have opted for something else. That’s a hell-​of-​a-​lot of ingredients for one tiny slider!
In my first bite I was not only unimpressed, but it was quite inedible. The mix of pickles and cucumbers, with the falafel and all the other crap was just wayyy too much. I found myself picking apart the entire thing, until finally I just ate the falafel plain (which was good). I think a simpler technique could have made this slider a home run. Skip all the other stuff, throw the falafel on a pita with some of that good homemade hummus and you got yourself a good slider! Quality over quantity here people!
The guys in the truck were very friendly and nice. I will definitely give them another try and order a different slider next time. I will be sure to update my review.

I love the concept of sliders: a small burger for only $ 3.50 which affords the opportunity to try multiple different types of mini-​burgers rather than fill up on one huge burger.
I opted for the «Kitt» — small beef patty with Parmesan-​peppercorn, bacon and bleu cheese. I can still recall the amazing combination of flavor. The beef was tender and the bun was soft and in good proportion to the burger.
I saw many people ordering the truffle fries which looked absolutely delicious. I would definitely order those next time around!
Can’t wait to find this food truck again!
