Silver Slipper Restaurant — Restaurant in Boston

I moved out of Boston 20 years ago, however, one thing a true Bostonian from Roxbury can never forget is The Silver Slipper. A staple in the Dudley area when it comes to breakfast, The Silver Slipper is one of the few restaurants who still make everything homemade.

As I was visiting my father, he advised he was ordering from The Silver Slipper and I had to get my order in. As I had a full day ahead of me, I didn’t want anything too heavy. I opted for a protein based meal and ordered the Spicy Beef Sausage with Wheat Toast.

Calling the order in was simple and straightforward. The young lady who answered was pleasant and efficient. She took our order, repeated it back to us and closed out with the time expectation and a see you soon.

Upon arriving, the restaurant wasn’t crowded so it was easy in and easy out. The order was accurate and ready as advised. We confirmed everything was present, grabbed a few condiments, paid, and was out the door.

As you will see by the pictures, this is REAL SAUSAGE. All these years later and The Silver Slipper is still holding it down.

The sausage was fresh and super spicy just like I like it. The burn on the sausage was perfect and made the bites even more flavorful and textured. The toast was perfectly toasted and non-buttered which was perfect as the sausage had its own grease. As soon as the sausage hit the bread, it nestled into the toasty goodness and they became exactly what I needed to get the day started.

Shout out to The Silver Slipper for their tenure and quality of food. We the People of the Boston Foodie World...

Well, I'll begin with the food was pretty good. Satisfying portion sizes and taste. The favorable mention ends here, as I was beyond disappointed with the lack of preservation and upkeep of a neighborhood jewel. Many of us are aware, one of the most influential civil rights leaders Malcolm X, would frequent this eatery in the 60s. I kid you not they have not restored, retouched, revamped, renovated a damn thing in that restaurant since. (maybe the tables and chairs, slapped on some new paint).

Why is the entire restaurant overwhelmed with a heavy smog? Why does the cook station not have ventilation? Why are you painting over decaying panel? its 2023. Why haven't you renovated the outside of the restaurant...at all? Not even a new sign? You can barely read the letters on the current one as it is literally over 50yrs old. Adjacent is a new dispensary giving very much modern, favorable for the optics. The outside of Silver Slipper is comparable to a dilapidated building approved for demolishment. Why?

This restaurant is part of a PROFOUND legacy. No more excuses tighten up. If you don't care about the historical context your business embodies... sell it to someone who does. Our neighborhoods are changing. Natives of the area are being displaced, voices are purposely muffled and muted. Our representation matters! Silver Slipper is a historical epoch and should be memorialized as such. Especially now! look around baby what...

Ayo, lemme put y’all on real quick…

Silver Slipper in Roxbury? Yeah, that’s THE breakfast joint, don’t play wit it. Soon as you walk in, it’s like a family reunion — “Damn, I ain’t seen you since high school!” vibes. 😂 You bound to bump into somebody’s auntie, your old neighbor, or that one ex you still lowkey miss when you hungry.

Jeff? That’s the MVP right there. Bro be runnin’ the spot like a well-oiled grits machine. Service? Always solid. Never had a bad experience — they treat you like fam, not just another plate.

Now listen, pro tip from a seasoned Slipper vet: CALL YOUR ORDER IN. Don’t pull up thinking you gon’ waltz in and out. Nah, fam. That line be lookin' like they giving out free Section 8. 😂 It gets BUSY .... like “line out the door on a Tuesday” busy.

But the food? Maaaan. Hits every time. From the grits to the eggs to the turkey bacon that slap like your grandma’s flip flop. This ain’t no trendy brunch spot with tiny plates and fancy names. This that hood classic, soul-soothing, belly-filling "I’m good for the rest of the day" type meal.

So yeah, if you in the 'Bury and you ain’t been to Silver Slipper, respectfully… fix...
