The "Lil' Stinkers'" at the Black Sheep Lodge (already known for its big damned regular burger) are made of ground beef and roasted garlic patties, brushed with gorgonzola butter.

Beloved by locals and tourists alike, the Might Cone's juicy little sliders also come in an all-veggie version.

Meat markety downtown bar 219 West appropriately offers what may be Austin's largest slider menu. Eight sliders are available individually or on a sampler platter; if you're really in love, you can get any of them in "big ass" size.

Best enjoyed on the sprawling patio with a hearty pint, the Pour House Pub's sliders are solid little tips o' the hat to their bigger brother.

Make any of the diverse burger offerings at Phil's Ice House into a slider, or order a sampler basket of their Violet Crown (bleu cheese), Crestview (chili) and Rosedale (cheddar mesquite) burgers.

The Cow Bells food truck is putting out some of the finest burgers in town, and that goes for their Boca Chicas sliders, served on hearty Hawaiian rolls.
