The Silver Star Brunch: A 1965 Recipe for the Perfect Weekend
Some traditions aren’t just preserved; they’re perfected. Since our doors first swung open in 1965, Silver Star Restaurant has held a simple belief: the weekend should be celebrated. For generations, our booths have been filled with the sound of clinking coffee cups, friendly chatter, and the satisfied silence that follows a truly great meal.
Our brunch isn’t just a menu; it’s a weekend ritual. It’s where classic American comfort meets the leisurely joy of a Saturday or Sunday morning. We’ve spent decades refining this experience, and it all begins with a promise: generous plates, timeless favorites, and a warm, welcoming buzz that feels like home.
The Silver Star Welcome: Your Brunch Starts with a Celebration
We believe the perfect brunch begins on a bright note. That’s why every one of our brunch plates includes a refreshing starter cocktail and a fresh fruit salad. It’s our signature welcome—a little sparkle to kick off your day.
Choose a crisp, orange-kissed Mimosa, a boldly spiced Bloody Mary, or the bubbly simplicity of Prosecco. This small, included delight sets the tone for what’s to come: a meal where care is in every detail.
The Pillars of a Perfect Plate: Our Brunch Classics, Perfected
1. The Foundations: Eggs, Done Right
For over fifty years, our grill has been the stage for the classics. It starts with Two Eggs, Any Style. Whether you prefer them sunny-side up, over easy, or soft scrambled, they are always cooked to order. Each dish features the freshest eggs, paired with your choice of crispy bacon, savory ham, or hearty sausage. This is the bedrock of an American diner brunch, and we treat it with the respect it deserves.
Then, there’s the Cheese Omelet—a masterclass in simplicity. Soft, golden, and filled with melted cheese, this dish shows that using quality ingredients and traditional methods is key. You don’t need to complicate things to create something delicious.
2. Omelets with Character: Wholesome & Flavor-Packed
As tastes evolved, so did we—but always with a focus on substance. Our specialty omelets were added by popular demand, each becoming a story of its own.
The Greek Omelet: A vibrant trip to the Mediterranean with tangy feta cheese and juicy diced tomatoes.
The Zucchini Omelet: A light and garden-fresh choice, packed with tender, sautéed zucchini.
The Mushroom Omelet: For the savory soul, rich with the deep, earthy flavor of perfectly cooked mushrooms.
Each is a hearty, satisfying choice that proves a classic diner can be both timeless and fresh.
3. The Sweet Side of Tradition
No Silver Star brunch is complete without indulging your sweet tooth. Our Old Fashion Pancakes are legendary—a tall, fluffy stack of buttermilk goodness. They have been a staple on our menu since the Nixon administration. They’re the comfort food you remember.
And our French Toast? Thick slices of bread, transformed into golden, cinnamon-infused delights. They’re the perfect balance of crisp edges and a soft, custardy center.
4. Our Signature Creations: Dishes That Built Our Reputation
While we honor tradition, we’re also proud of the unique favorites that keep people coming back.
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: These are not just pancakes; they are a true sensation. Incredibly light and fluffy, they are enhanced with fresh lemon and ricotta. They are the most talked-about item on our brunch menu. A must-try for all.
Apple Cinnamon Pancakes: Like a warm hug on a plate. Sweet apples and warm cinnamon blend into our classic batter, providing a taste of cozy comfort in each bite.
The Belgian Waffle: The crown jewel of the brunch plate. Crisp, golden, and airy-light on the inside, it’s the ideal canvas for syrup, butter, or a side of our savory bacon.
5. A Nod to Today: The Modern Classic
We know brunch tastes change, and we listen. Our Avocado Toast is proof. It’s not an afterthought; it’s a commitment to quality. Creamy smashed avocado and fresh tomato rest on artisan toast. Two perfectly poached eggs crown the dish, showcasing the skill of our kitchen. It’s fresh, satisfying, and utterly delicious.
The Silver Star Way: A Pro-Tip from Our Family to Yours
Inquire with our regular customers or our servers who have been here for twenty years. They will share a secret with you. Request your potatoes extra crispy. It’s the little detail that makes all the difference. And if you’re feeling indulgent, a side of warm maple syrup for your bacon is a sweet-and-salty revelation.

At Silver Star Restaurant, brunch is more than a meal. It’s a joyful start to the weekend, a link to a delicious past, and a reason to gather with those who matter most. Our recipe hasn’t changed since 1965 because it works: great food, served with care, in a place that feels like home.
