Great food, cold beer, friendly service. I want to take a nap after their breakfast. I love the way the owners have decorated the place, antiques, old photographs and an extensive collection of oil lamps. My only complaint is that the owner is a Steelers fan, Go Broncos!

Its a good breakfast and filling. Decent service and not fast or slow... Again average. You wont leave hungary. Its a little small but in a way that is good, not so many people can fit :-)...

We had dinner here for an awards banquet after a Sno Cross race. The place was packed, but the staff was still courteous and right on top of things. The Prime Rib was great and very affordable. Thanks for your hospitality.

The French onion soup is delicious! Followed by French dip sandwich au jus and forest fruit pie with ice cream! I'm so full but it was awesome!

We arrived in Silverton on the train mid-October. A number of the shops and restaurants were already shut down but the Brown Bear was open and it was well worth it. The cafe had a fun atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff. The food was great and the service prompt even though the place was quite full. A highly... More

My son did a quick take-out order for me and I only got two bites. I had heard about the wonderful Mountain Berry pie that Brown Bear Cafe served. He stopped in and got one piece to go. That was a mistake. He should have gotten two or maybe even three. I have never tasted such a tasty crust in... More

I had the corned beef and swiss on rye with soup. There was nothing wrong with it other than both could have been a little hotter and the sandwich could have had more corned beef. The service was average. The decor was average. The prices are OK. I might go back. Note: They did leave the outside door open as... More

We had lunch when they were busy, and were seated near the door. There is a vestibule with a front door on the sidewalk and a second door to enter the dining room. Staff hooked the sidewalk door with a bungie cord and customers left the dining room door open as they came and went. It was 46 degrees outside.... More
