Handle Bars for Silverton Lunch

Trip Advisor Review: Early train start in Durango without time for breakfast and a four hour slow steam train journey leaves you standing in the town center of Silverton (origination a ton of silver) around noon mighty hungry. Most reviews of local restaurants are pretty good and leave you unable to differentiate so it takes the recommendation of a local friend to make a choice which we did not regret! A half slab of ribs, a burger, a barbecue sandwich, soups and salads were all excellent! A little disorganized due to two conflicting street or store entrances to the restaurant but eventually seated in a quaint dining room with more seating at the bar along one entire wall. Wait staff very attentive and helpful despite quite crowded tables but we all enjoyed the eclectic collectibles, stuffed wildlife and joshing humor of the staff. Would certainly recommend it to travelers to this small 200 winter 800 summer population quaint former mining town at 9,500 feet altitude.
