MrMoocoltd Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Nothing to do with the delivery, it was the restaurant that made the sandwich. Raw onion in a burger bun! Don't know how you can call that a sandwich. Must be an American thing! The smoked meat was good, though I will not order the signature dish again as I didn't like the rest of it. For me a sandwich starts with good bread and good filling, not a burger bun and raw onion that overpowers the taste of the meat! Can't blame the delivery! well food is all different....yes in US raw onions are put on many sandwiches, and raw onions are a part of most burgers, sorry i was wrong but , order with out onion or ask for grilled first , that is what i like a good grilled onion on my burger with cheese and mustard...

onnut Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I wouldn't mind raw onion on a burger. I ordered a sandwich and this is what I got. Burger bun cut in two, 4 pieces smoked chicken, chopped raw onion and a little sauce with the top put on. No salad or anything. I think it was bland for a signature dish.

onnut Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 You are right but, and there is always a but! How can you call it a sandwich when it's in a burger bun? Italians went to the states and they make great bread, why don't the Americans adopt some bread from them? Your sandwiches would be sandwiches then and not burger buns. I will order again from them because the other meal was great. But for me the signature dish was not a sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me the signature dish was not a sandwich. all the burger joints should change the names also i guess , to chicken burger not sandwich, i like burger bun for sandwich but i must agree , ...IE soft roll for sandwich is my favorite and not hard french bread, but the word bread is also one that is a kin to all sorts of things , like ,,,hard as a rock ...rolls ....to soft as butter rolls ....a bun is used for all BBQ sandwiches in USA , i should say most ...80-90% in south and west ,,,as i have found..... then you get to Philly steak that is on soft roll.... i think east coast uses more rolls than west and south USA . i know i have trouble finding a good soft roll in Thailand at times ......and i will say i love the tater tots ....most fries are good hear ...but tots are a treat.....

onnut Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 do they do a Philly Steak Sarnie? I have heard that this is a really good sandwich but I have never had one. and what you say about the bread, if that is the American way and you lot like it then thats good. not for me though, I like a nice farmhouse loaf sliced thick with a nice crust on it:D with some good strong cheddar and some pickles. ummm ummmm I couldnt find the licking lips emoticon!

DP25 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) How can you call it a sandwich when it's in a burger bun? Italians went to the states and they make great bread, why don't the Americans adopt some bread from them? You can buy great bread all over the US. I guess you weren't expecting it, but I would have assumed the bbq chicken sandwich would be on a bun, rather than on what you may have been expecting. Just how that sandwich usually is Edited September 14, 2010 by DP25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how that sandwich usually is ok, I will try the BBQ chicken sandwich next time then. I know they must have other items on the menu that I would like because the Quisadillas where great, so I will be eating them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backwoods Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I tried the Metro burger, it did in fact fill me to the brim and was delicious with fresh condiments! Of course we had to eat the tater Tots and wings as well and dipped in the tangy sauce was great! Mark also gave us a taste of different cuts of pork and chicken! As I could not eat anymore, I was stuffed, Yep, got some ribs to go, and at home licked the box when done!! We will be out there again soon, as I have been down with a bad back, ready to tackle them smoked ribs again, and this time I want double sauce!!

powderpuff Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Onnut. Next time try the Carolina Rib Sandwich. Really yummy. I think you can substitute french fries for Tater Tots. Not real sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 After seeing this review in Friday's Bangkok Post, the missus and I went seek out this place. I can vouch the quality the reviewer talks about. It was truly first rate, and unexpected for such a little, out of the way shop. I took some take out home with me, and it was great the day after as well! BBQ Sandwich King 78 Samakhee Road, Thasai Sub-district Muang Nonthaburi, Nonthaburi, 11000 T - 02-952-4075 bbqsandwichking.co.th Highly recommend them if you are in the area! JB Sounds good to me with all the rave reviews. Wish they were in Chiang Mai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_cos Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Mark DOES have a good food product at his main BBQ Sandwich King shop location, BUT do by-pass his second Slider Shack location in Nichida Thani where the food product and presentation are NOT of the highest quality. Slider Shack advertises a Chicago Dog on a poppy seed bun which I salivated over when Mark first told me it would be sold at the Slider Shack. When I finally made it over there yesterday - buns are regular bought in Makro buns, brushed with egg and covered with poppy seed and then grilled - NOT my understanding of what a poppy seed roll is (better to go next door to Subway for the real bread). I also ordered a Cheeseburger Slider - which for 90 Baht, would have been better (and cheaper) from Burger King (matter of fact - MCD now has a triple cheeseburger for 89 Baht which is not that bad). Sales girl had to "smell" the cheese to see if it was fresh, burger looked like an ordinary burger patty and real turn off was the bun which was a couple of days old (according to the girl - and it was also bought from Makro). By the way, at his main shop he advertises "The buns we use are custom-made for us by a top French baker." Even though he does say his buns at Slider Shack are from Farmhouse. Why the difference in quality? I cancelled both orders and wrote Mark about problems I encountered. I hope he takes better control of the new establishment and will not, and urge others to NOT buy from Slider Shack until he makes some serious changes. But again, if you have chance to visit his main BBQ Sandwich King shop, by all means do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderpuff Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 My favorites are. Metro Burger. Carolina Rib Sandwich (warning comes on a hamburger bun just like back home) & the Ribs. Must be accompanied by an A&W Root Beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again, if you have chance to visit his main BBQ Sandwich King shop, by all means do so. The mark of a true restauranteur is the time and the care he/she puts into catering to their customers needs and of course the food they prepare. Since I have written the information above regarding the problem I had at Slider Shack, I heard from Mark the owner TWICE informing me to changes he has made in the hot dog bun (using a true poppy seed bun now made by Farmhouse) and a better quality burger for their sliders. Mark offered to comp a Chicago Dog and a Slider Burger for me which I certainly appreciate but what I appreciate more is the time, the effort and the changes being made to his establishment's menu based on comments of a customer. Mark, you are a true champion and I hope your business thrives in the New Year.

griser Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 My friends and I used to go there all the time.... until Mark charged my buddy for a small serving of sauce for his sandwich. Mark didn't mention to my friend he was being charged for it. We found out after we got the bill. Now its ok to charge people for things... even a small dallop of sauce for a sandwich, just let the customer know ahead of time that hes going to be charged 50 baht for it. Who would have thought we'd be charged for sauce?!? We haven't been back since. A little greed will lose you customers. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
