When you serve 17 different kinds of sliders under one roof, there are inevitably winners and losers, which is why we reached out to SliderBar to find out which sliders are the most popular with their customers, and which fall behind in the rankings. Unsurprisingly, the American Pride, a classic bacon cheeseburger, tops the list, but ground chicken also makes a surprisingly strong showing, snagging two of the top five spots, and pulled pork is also holding court at #4. The losers: the restaurant's sole seafood offering, a shrimp patty, which clocks in at #9, and anything vegetarian: all four veggie options are ranked below #10, with the only vegan option, the Ronald Vegan, coming in dead last. (Although we can't imagine there's too much overlap between vegans and fans of Ronald Reagan.) Here's the complete list, in order of popularity:

1. American Pride: Beef, bacon, cheddar, gem lettuce, tomatoes, pickled onions, mayo, white bun.

2. Hot Chick: Ground chicken patty with serrano chili, garlic, lime and green tomatillo; serrano chili mayo; lettuce; tortilla chips; cilantro; tomatoes; multigrain bun.
