Silver Grill Cafe

Awesome casual place to eat with friends and family. The food is always good and priced perfectly. I judge a restaurant on how they cook shrimp, an I just had the shrimp salad… the shrimp melts in your mouth. It is cooked perfectly. No hint of rubberiness at all. Hands down, one of my boyfriends and my favorite places to eat at!

We eat here a lot. The baked potatoes are stuffed full of good things. Chicken fingers are GREAT! One of the best burgers I have ever put in my mouth is the Vaquero Boracho – it’s got some zip to it, just the way I like it.
The staff is very friendly. You won’t go home without feeling welcomed and appreciated.

I’ve been here one other time for drinks with friends on the patio and the laid back atmosphere was ideal for a chill evening out. I had a lunch meeting and meet at the Silver Grill. I ordered the Cheddar Pour Burger. I have to say I’ve never seen a burger quite like it. The cheese was perfectly melted on and around the burger with a slightly crispy edge. Outstanding food and the staff is very cool.

It was worth the breakfast. It was like something I would have made at home but everyone was able to get something different. If you think that’s Good or bad, I didn’t have to clean up after and that’s always good. It was reasonably priced as well and any family appreciates that.
I had the chorizo plate with fruit and beans as my sides. It was good and the fruit was fresh.
They advertise free WIFI but don’t post the password anywhere that I could see. That is annoying. I’m not getting up again to hunt down a wifi password.
The place has had a bunch of upgrades since the last time I came in, I would come in again. One thing I hope they get to is the carpet. It looks dirty and old and its unappetizing.

Service was fast; carnitas tacos were eaten all gone by my 3-​yr-​old; the park was a plus; and the music was surprisingly good. Even the weather worked out. Sunny-​all-​around experience.

Baked potato with extra sour cream and board games on Sunday afternoon. Worth driving across town for this.

So friendly and filling! I love it when the staff treats everyone like family. We felt very welcomed and appreciated. Very expansive menu met my family’s diverse interests. Be sure to ask about any off menu items. I lucked into a pasta dish loaded with shrimp, chicken AND sausage!
We’ll take the extended family next time we are in the Domain area. Better value and less pretentious!

Should have read the reviews first. Absolutely the WORST BBQ I have ever had. The brisket and turkey were tasteless. On top of that, our delivery-​to-​home order arrived 45 minutes late. But wait, there’s more. They FORGOT the potato salad AND coleslaw that was on my order, and the pinto beans container was only two thirds full. Bad taste; bad delivery; bad order fulfillment. Can’t vouch for the rest of their food, but if BBQ is what you’re hankering, STAY AWAY from this place.

I’m really surprised this place has stayed afloat. There’s rarely anyone in there. I’ve been a couple of times to give them the benefit of the doubt but have been disappointed both times. The staff is friendly but that’s about it. The food is so so. Both times I’ve been there was a bad smell. Like a dirty mop.

I will preference this by saying that I had the food delivered so there may be better attention paid to the food in the restaurant.
What I got did not look appetizing at all. The balsamic chicken was just chicken swimming in a soup of liquid covered in mushrooms that were not listed in the description and the green beans looked like they were just poured from the can. The hand breaded zucchini was more breading than zucchini. The mashed potatoes were dry. And the corn on the cob was spicy despite not being listed that way.
I am giving one star because the descriptions are not what you get, the food quality was canned, and the order was wrong which the delivery person had them fix.

Solid family restaurant. The play area here is wonderful; plenty of tables within view of the play scape for family dining. Nothing wrong with a restaurant that caters to kids and happy hour at the same time. The kids had a great time playing and the adults enjoyed a leisurely B+ meal. Will be back for sure!

The salad was fresh, tea was excellent, our four entrees were tasty, and the homemade peach cobbler was awesome. I had many special requests (no butter, no sauce, etc) and they were very accommodating and kind about it. Love the covered patio and shaded playground… an excellent place for the whole family. They have a daily hh and kids eat free on Tuesdays. Tiffany was our waitress and was very friendly and attentive. Great place we will definitely return to!

Just delicious, tried the California’s Omelet, was truly well done!!! They served breaksfast all day long!!!
Mimosas are delightful, prices are great!!!

Went here for the first time one evening with our baby and they were incredibly accommodating. The service was great and the menu is huge! We ordered breakfast tacos (breakfast all the time) and yum! Very family friendly, and they also have grownup beverages, which is unique for a dinner-​style restaurant. Can’t wait until our little one is older to play on the new play gym they just put up behind their back patio!

The place is decent. I mean, that’s about as much as you can say about it. It is a place to eat haha.

Stopped in here for a burger. I was the only customer at 1400 on a sunny afternoon. Was surprised to see they had some taps, but, I didn’t pay any attention to them. I ordered a cheeseburger and onion rings. I asked for sliced onion, and, the guy ringing up my order said no problem.
I grabbed a seat, and, helped myself to water and condiments. The guy brings out the food. I’ll start with the rings. They had a light crispy breading and were actually pretty good. The burger was a gross disappointment. The patty was thin and dried out Reminded me of a pre-​made that is soaked in a container of water in the back corner of the grill until someone orders one. Then they are slapped back on the grill and heated up.
The bun was overkill and was pretty much all I could taste throughout most of this experience. Very dry burger that was hard to swallow. The veggies were nice and chilled. The slice of onion was actually ringlets. I get this a lot when I ask for a slice of onion. Think of it as a slice of tomato people! WTF! Why do people not understand what is meant by a fucking slice of onion? Burger fail!

This a great place and awesome food plus awesome service

Your order is served fresh and delivered to your table at Silver Grill Café, including their 5lb Giant signature Burger complete with sides!
Literally took me and 12 friends to tackle the entire order, barely leaving us room for their mouth watering desert — Peach cobbler w Grilled Pineapple topped with ice cream, powdered honey, atop a grilled tortilla! I nearly cried for joy from all the flavors going off in my mouth!
Recently this location has only been continuing to improve their menu, staff, environment, and is constantly clean and well maintained with a hard working owner and his wife who are just the most humble people you’ll ever meet with a passion for food and serving people. :-)
They have a play area outside to bring the kiddos, and a large parking lot with more then enough parking, with easy access for handicapped access, and a large environment that has a nice, clean, professional feel to it.
Their breakfast tacos served all day are HUGE for under $ 5! And their burgers are easily some of the best in town! I do not know what previous reviews were talking about in regards to their food but I have yet to be disappointed with any of my selections.
Personal favorites when by myself that I recommend would be:
Hawaiian chicken, served fresh with pineapples and honey with two sides and rice pilaf,
avocado and egg tacos,
any of their burgers complete with their fresh cut fries (yum!),
chicken fried steak,
nachoes platter with shredded beef which goes great with their self serve salsa bar filled with several different kinds of sauces to choose from!
And the drink selection here is superb, with a large variety of alcoholic beverages to choose from and daily evening drink specials to compliment your meal while you watch your favorite sports teams on either of their big flat screen tvs.
The chef and staff will easily accommodate any food allergies or special needs you may have, with phenomenal customer service and a wait time of ten to twenty minutes even on a busy Sunday.
Fore-​warning: People flock in lines to this location for lunch and on Sundays! Even then me and my friends have had nothing but good experiences, great food, and a easy location to meet for our men’s bible study.
And they have a Spot On rewards program which is great for return customers like me! :-)
Restrooms are well maintained and stocked up every time I’ve come, tables and chairs cleaned, with self serve soda fountain and silverware with easy access to namkins.
And every time I’ve called in ahead to make table accommodations for me and a group of seven or more people, and even bring me a small cup serving of their Dragon’s Breath spice to make any of my orders hot like I like it. ;-)
Easily one of my favorite hangout places to eat in or order a meal to go with easy access to Mopac 1.

The business stayed open late last night for a group of cyclists so we could have good food and booze after our weekly ride. I wasn’t hungry, but felt that we just had to get SOMETHING to make up for how incredibly nice they were being. Seriously — when we arrived, the owner (I think) had cold water waiting for us, which was so thoughtful!
I can’t really review the food, because all I had were a few bites of fries and a good look at what other people ordered. The portions were big and everyone had a great time. I’m definitely coming back here to order some of their food, because I could tell I was missing out!
What I CAN review, though, is their frozen strawberry margarita. It was awesome. She made a single serving for me IN THE BLENDER. It was HUGE. It was strong. It was tasty, and I was a happy gal: D
Service — 5 stars
Drank — 5 stars
Appearance of other peoples’ food — 5 stars
A few bites of battered french frieds (because they have OPTIONS) — 5 stars! We’re coming back!

There’s a playscape, and this place is just a short drive from my house. That pretty much sums up all the reasons why I ever come here. Two stars for being a place that my kid likes and one that is very convenient for me. The third star comes from the large portioned migas breakfast tacos and being the rare breakfast place with a playscape (again).
I’m sorry to say that I can’t be more enthusiastic than that. Every time we visit, there just isn’t anything exceptionally good about the food or the service. From what we can tell, most of the menu is straight off the Sysco truck, and at dinner time, it usually involves an inexplicable 30 to 40 minute wait to receive an order of chicken strips and fries.
By the way, Silver Grill boasts free wi-​fi, but my experience has been that the signal is spotty. You may also rack up points on Spot On here, but again, that depends on a functional scan station at checkout; half the time, it isn’t working.
Evolution footnote:
This location has been many things in the past 10 years. It started as a Bear Rock Café (which was actually pretty good; not sure why it died), then it became J & J BBQ (known for artery-​clogging cheddar pour burgers and so-​so ‘cue; you can still find them in Cedar Park
), and then for the past 2 – 3 years, it’s been Silver Grill (a spin-​off from UT campus-​area institution, Players).
