The Silvertron Cafe is the sort of casual place that would please a wide range of people since it offers sandwiches, burgers, pastas, Tex-Mex items, desserts, and drinks. It’s got an appealing atmosphere, casual and neighborhoody.
Laura, Dave, and I ended up here since we were at Avondale Brewing Company and wanted food, and there was no joint open to serve us food in Avondale. Sadness. So we hopped into the vehicle and headed over here since it isn’t too far.
The Cafe wasn’t too busy, and I spotted a couple of families eating. There was one mega table set up for what looked like a massive birthday dinner, but we left before that was in full swing. Our server reminded me of Taylor Swift but Laura didn’t think so. Every time I comment that someone looks like a famous person, no one ever agrees with me. I don’t get it. I guess I’m just right, and they’re just wrong and blind.
I ordered the Trio of Mini Burgers ($9.50). The burgerettes included a cheeseburger one, a mushroom & Swiss one, and a black & blue. The menu stated that the burgers were cooked medium, but I can recall that one of the them was on the well done side. The rolls were “soft yeast rolls” that were delightful and sturdy, with just a touch of sweetness. My side was the garlic mashed potatoes. They were rather pleasing. Yeah, the burgers weren’t the best in the world, but they were satisfying and hit the spot.
Looking forward to brunch here sometime in the future. Silvertron’s got five Benedicts on the menu, sold!
