![]() ![]() Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t expecting a gourmet meal, this is a summer hot dog/burger stand after all. The toppings of cheese, mushrooms, onions and pickles helped give the burger some needed flavor and texture.Īll together our meal was about $25 and sadly we didn’t really like any of it. Personally, I would have loved a grilled/toasted roll that was about half the size. The roll was way too big, each bite was 75% plain roll and 25% meat and toppings. The burger was cooked very well done (as I’ve come to expect at many summer burger stands) and the only flavor that came through was a lot of salt. The burger I ordered with ‘everything’ was quite a downer. The french fries were also alright, they were thick cut and crispy. But on this visit, the hard cheese and the dry and flavorless steak just wasn’t working.Īlli’s all beef hot dog was just alright, it was covered in cheese and slightly better when dipped in the Silo sauce. Granted, if I had a few drinks in me, I might have thought this big greasy sandwich was great (maybe). ![]() The other unfortunate problem was the cheese and steak simply did not taste good and clumped together into a hard flavorless ball. After a couple bites, the sandwich eventually fell apart and I had to tackle it with a fork and knife. ![]() The initial issue was the shear size of the sub, even though I ordered the ‘smaller’ option it was packed with meat and almost impossible to hold and eat. The Haystack involves thin slices of steak that are chopped up and mixed with cheese, then topped with crispy potato sticks (and in my case bacon and mayo). Next to corndogs, it was easily the most popular item that was being ordered that day. I started with the star of the menu, the Haystack. On a busy Saturday afternoon, our wait wasn’t more then 10 minutes. The restaurant advertises that everything is made fresh and you might have to wait a little bit for your food. We also ordered a burger (with everything), fries and an all beef hot dog with cheese and silo sauce. I went for the smaller option and the 16 year old cashier confirmed my order with a tone that made me feel that my man-liness was in question. There’s an $11 large roll or a smaller $6 roll. I had to order a Haystack, there was really no choice. On our visit there was just one cashier who must have just turned 16, but he was killing it and making the line move quickly. As you walk into the restaurant, the (open-ish) kitchen is on your right and the order counter with a giant menu is on your left. There is an ice cream stand inside an old caboose in front of the restaurant and plenty of outdoor seating. Food was Here” signs posted around the building.Īs we walked up to the restaurant we noticed several people with lawn chairs enjoying the day, although most of them appeared to have brought their own food. Pictures of Richman are plastered everywhere inside the restaurant and even posted on the menu outside. In case you forgot that Adam Richman visited the restaurant in 2010, you will quickly be reminded as soon as you arrive. On our trip last weekend, it was a nice sunny day and we thought it was a perfect time to finally try out The Silo. We don’t travel out to Lewiston that often and if we make the drive, it’s normally just to eat at Carmelo’s and/or Hibbard’s Custard (if you haven’t visited either, you are missing out). This was still in the early years of Buffalo Eats. In fact, I wasn’t very familiar with Lewiston in general. Food to Lewiston and filmed himself shoving a large Haystack in his face, I had never heard of The Silo. Before Adam Richman brought the Travel Channel show Man Vs.
