A slider is an American term for a small burger, typically around 2 inches (5 cm) across, made with a bun.

History[]

"Slider" is believed to have been first used to describe the onion-steamed small burgers at White Castle restaurants.[1] The term has since been appropriated by other restaurants,[2] usually to describe a small hamburger, but sometimes used to describe any small sandwich made with a slider roll. White Castle later trademarked the spelling variant "Slyder" and used it between 1985 and 2009.[3]

Sliders can be served as hors d'oeuvres, snacks, or entrées.[4] They have since become a popular Game Day appetizer in the United States.[5]
