    Our experience was great, from start to finish! The Silver Dollar team went above and beyond for our group. We strategically planned our visit to sample the rarest bourbon and they did not disappoint. We found out management changed over the past few months and the new owner was working along side the kitchen staff which says a lot. We had a price discrepancy at the end and it was fixed without issues, plus they ended up comping our entire parties desserts (which they didn't have to at all). The food and desserts were delicious! Worth every penny. Plan your visit if you want to taste "unicorns" that you've never had and appreciate amazing whiskey. Cheers!

    Almost all the food had added sugar. Couldn’t eat some of it. I’m glad we aren’t diabetic

    Food was outstanding and fast on a Thursday night. Might be a little loud for some folks. Such a unique and fun atmosphere to eat in the old fire station. Highly recommend!

    Fantastic food in a wonderful atmosphere. The service was fantastic. They had a little error in our order, but their service recovery was amazing. Can't wait to eat here again!

    Make it a point to stop here for dinner every time I’m in town and I am never disappointed in the food, the bourbon, or the service.

    Food and service was good, a little loud every time I've been! Stays pretty crowded so I guess that is a good sign. I preferred lunnch over breakfast option.

    I had the cornish hen and it was quite good along with a few beers. Our party had a very good time there, I would definitely recomend the Silver Dollar for a fun evening with friends.
