About Tims Gourmet Sliders

The line forms around the smell of hot buns and frying onions at the window. People come for our sliders, the fried chicken slider and the steak slider get ordered a lot, and we keep a stack of fresh-cut fries going. I run the window myself most days, calling out orders, sliding trays through, answering quick questions about vegetarian, gluten-free, and halal options. We do on-site service for parties and events, and I bring the same setup you see at the truck to your spot. Drinks and simple beverages are ready to grab with a slider or cup of something cold. I keep things unpretentious and practical, no fancy plating, just steady food that fills a plate. We accommodate dietary needs without fuss, and we’re a minority-owned operation proud to serve this neighborhood. If you want sliders and fries for a small gathering, mention the vegetarian or gluten-free choice and I’ll make sure it’s ready when you need it.

Timothy Shepherd

Owner, Tims Gourmet Sliders

I remember the night I ate a slider so small it fit in my palm and tasted like someone had condensed an entire meal into one bite. That stuck with me and changed how I think about comfort food. Years working in fine dining kitchens taught me precision, while stints in casual spots taught me speed and listening to customers. I traveled coast to coast tasting burgers and realized there was room to rethink the slider, make it worth a stop between errands or worth hiring for a backyard party. I’m Timothy Shepherd, I run the truck out of Redford, and what keeps me going is making food that gets people talking and coming back. I like showing up on time, treating every event like a neighborhood block party, and figuring out small details that make a big difference for guests.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Detroit, so booking early gives you the best selection.

Venue & Setup Requirements

Usually self-contained
Most trucks bring their own power and water. Confirm any hookups with Tims Gourmet Sliders when you book.
Space needed

A flat, accessible parking spot—typically 12' × 25' for most trucks

What does Tims Gourmet Sliders serve?
Tims Gourmet Sliders serves American, Burgers and Beverages.Popular menu items include Black And Blue, Classic and Double Banger.Most servings run about $18 before tax. The full menu with current prices is above.
Is there a minimum order or guest count?
Yes, Tims Gourmet Sliders has a minimum order of $1,625, which works out to roughly 90 servings at this menu's prices. This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing, travel to your Detroit location, and setup time. For smaller gatherings, consider the attendee-pay option where guests purchase their own meals.
What is included in the catering price?
Your quote from Tims Gourmet Sliders includes food preparation, serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), the truck's staff, setup and breakdown, and travel within the Detroit service area. The per-serving prices on this page already include Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book Tims Gourmet Sliders?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Food trucks in Detroit book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does Tims Gourmet Sliders cater?
Tims Gourmet Sliders is new to Food Truck Club, so there are no platform bookings to show yet. Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around Detroit are all bookable from this page.
Where does Tims Gourmet Sliders serve?
Tims Gourmet Sliders is based in Detroit, MI and takes bookings across Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, Livingston, Monroe, St. Clair, Lapeer, Genesee and Lenawee Counties. Travel inside that area is part of the quote; for a venue outside it, submit the request and the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Tims Gourmet Sliders lists vegetarian options, gluten-free options and halal options on its profile. Include a count for each in your booking request so the truck preps enough, and flag any allergies at the same time.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and Tims Gourmet Sliders will confirm any hookups before the event.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
