Silver Heights Family owned since 1957 The Silver Heights Restaurant opened its doors at 2169 Portage Avenue in June, 1957. Former cabbie Anthony Siwicki Sr.
(1)

had no idea it would still be going strong today! His operating philosophy was simple: “Provide your guests with quick and friendly service, and to serve fresh, delicious quality food at a reasonable price”….and to keep it that way. The restaurant is now in its third generation going forward. Silver Heights Restaurant was slowly transformed form a coffee shop into a lounge and dining room and bar. The adjoining hardware store on the East side became the dining room. In 1964 Tony bought out his three partners and with his three sons Jim, Dave and Allan have grown the business. Jim and his wife Maureen helped grow the business into what it is today. Now their two sons Tony and JC operate the restaurant. They have turned it into one of the most popular eateries in the city, and the lounge into a classic neighborhood bar.

“Everyone knows each other here” said Jimmy, and that makes for a great congenial atmosphere.

“The best deserve the best, and that is why we only buy and serve the best”, said Tony when talking about his cooking. “We’re known for our barbecued baby back ribs – their tenderness, taste and the way they fall off the bone.” We serve only Certified Angus Beef for all our beef and we only buy fresh ingredients. Everything is homemade! Be well, live well, and eat well are just a few of their secrets to success, because life is all about having a good time. So tonight, whether you’re in our dining room or lounge, please enjoy your evening and thank you for creating memories with us.

Almost 70 years later, the location hasn’t changed. The community around it has kept growing. ❤️

When Tony’s grandfather and his buddies chose this spot, they had no idea how much St. James would become part of the Silver Heights story.

From ball teams and hockey teams to schools, hospitals, local businesses and families meeting up before the big game this has always been a neighbourhood restaurant.

And there’s a reason it’s still here.

Therapy can be expensive… luckily, a rack of ribs works just fine. 😏

Slow-smoked, fall-off-the-bone, and ready when you need a little pick-me-up.

Some recipes just become part of who you are. ❤️

Our ribs, veal cutlet and Spanish sauce have been on the menu since the 1950s and 60s.

The rule has always been simple: buy right, buy quality, make good food, and take care of your customers.

Nearly 70 years later, those recipes are still here. And we plan to keep it that way.

If ribs aren’t the first thing that comes to mind, we might need to talk. 😂Some dreams are worth making a reality.
