“ Great little spot tucked away behind the Silverado Canyon. Super quiet, kind of nostalgic, like stepping into a small town diner from back in the day. Service is friendly and laid back. The food is solid old school comfort food, nothing fancy, but hits the spot after a good ride. Perfect place to pull over on the Harley for breakfast or lunch. I’ve stopped here a few times now and it never disappoints. It’s got that local charm that’s hard to find anymore. ”

In this day and age, it’s a wonderful thing to discover a quaint little diner seemingly hidden in the canyon and that really added to the appeal. The sort of rustic charm of the Silverado Cafe put me at ease and away from the stressors of daily life immediately upon entering. I would drive well out of my way to dine there again.
