Silver Dollar

There’s a sign on the Silver Dollar that says simply “Closed: Due to Illness.” That just doesn’t sound good. I wonder if it’s closed for good. Meantime, the restaurant building is almost visible crumbling before our very eyes. I’ve never eaten there, and don’t plan to, but the place is a West Asheville landmark.

    The food: cheap. The wait staff: nice enough. The other customers: leave you alone to eat.

    What else do you need?

    Other than that, here’s my other thoughts on the place:

    I go by there at least once a month, and the service is as friendly as you’ll find. It’s a great place for third shift workers to be able to grab a tallboy after work with some eggs.

    I hope they’re not gone for good.

    It’s the only place in town that has brains on the menu. Not that I’d ever eat brains, but still… been there once a couple of years ago. Not bad. I’m surprised they stuck around as long as they have…

    The only remnant of that area’s blue-collar history is probably the Burger Bar. I hope they don’t close that place anytime soon…
