We wound up at The Silver Dollar, everyone wanted to try it. We had a party of 4 and a 30 miniute wait, which gave us plenty of time to have a few drinks at the bar. After about 35 minutes we were seated.
We had beef empanadas and fries as apps, for my dinner I ordered the texas style chili and the fried okra. I loved everything. Great flavor and portions. The only downside to our visit was the service from our waitress. She was attentive at first but after taking our appetizer/drink orders it was at least 30 minutes before she came back, someone from the kitchen dropped off our apps. Then after ordering dinner I believe she came back 3 times total, twice because we had to flag her down for more drinks. At a couple points during the night I wondered if she was purposefully ignoring us because our glasses were empty for a while. I truly think she missed out on quites a bit of $$ because it was my friend's birthday and we had planned on staying a while and trying some bourbons and cocktails but the service was so slow we decided to just go home and celebrate.
All in all it's a cool place with good food. Hopefully the service improves over time. And maybe turn the music down a touch.
