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 is you doin?
