Great place for a quick breakfast or breakfast sandwich. But the best part of the whole thing is that Sweet Tea!!!!

They make enough money to have a better phone system. RIDICULOUS. Called 13 times and still no answer. I always try and give this spot the benefit of the doubt but seriously they need to get it together. Calling 13 times with no answer just to put a breakfast order in. They closed down at one point ... and didn't improve a thing before opening back up. SMH KEEP IN MIND YOU HAVE TO PLACE AN ORDER ON THE PHONE OR IN PERSON. YOUR ESTABLISHMENT IS OPEN. I've called in advance many times before bcs they take forever to make the simplest thing so yes I did need to call ahead. I gave it a few but continued to call to see how many times it would take to get someone to answer the phone lol. I will not spend anymore money here read more

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 Appreciate You!! read more

Not bad, maybe I didn't get the right stuff. Ordered pancakes, eggs and sausage. Was ok, food was served right away and our waitress was cool. It's a small establishment for locals. Nothing too special. It has a lot of character for the area that it is in. It's clean and well kept and located on a corner. read more

A Roxbury staple that offers comfort foods and the best sweet Tea in the city and best half & half I've ever tasted!!!

I give this place 5 stars for the authenticity and historical mural of the Black Icon and remarkable Red Aka Malcolm X . I found Silver Slipper on TikTok while searching for " Black Owned" restaurants in Boston. Malcolm X aka Red would dine at Silver Slipper and I heard it was the best home cooked breakfast in Boston . Note: this establishment is cash only and in a not so good neighborhood but I was able to adapt due to its culture . The customer service is hospitable and the food is good . The half and half tea is refreshing . It was exactly what I needed to complete my experience in Boston . A good home cooked meal and to be in the spirit of my FAV.... Malcolm X . read more

It's like walking into a Time Machine. This place hadn't changed one bit. Not fancy, no Apple Pay or debit card. Cash only for a slammmmming hot breakfast!! Eggs any style, home fries, pancakes or breakfast sandwich. Ask exactly how you want it, extra butter, whatever they will hook it up. The prices went up a little bit but still reasonably priced for the best breakfast in the hood. read more

We just happened to find this place walking from an event at RLAC ... from the minute we entered, we were greeted by the nicest people, staff & customers! Coffee was excellent (we're coffee snobs) and breakfast sandwich just like homemade, yummy! And the price, Damn! You can't find a better deal anywhere! Good place, good people. read more

Went for breakfast today food was amazing ham eggs and grits were out of this world will definitely be back again

Let the image speak for it self. Listed under sandwiches is the steak and eggs, and i get this. I don't know if this was even steak!!! Over cooked home fries and a jerky style meat. Lots of good reviews but i was disappointed for sure. Not sure i will be in the area to eat here again but I'll just skip on to the next spot. P.s. don't try calling to place an order because they don't answer. read more

Dr. J., The Master Chef at the Silver Slipper... He's extremely efficient and quick on the grill. And he never sacrifices quality. Always love being served by Darlene. That's why, for me, her pseudonym is Darling... Shawn & Aaron and the rest of the team are cool, too... 27 years strong... Love this place. Limited parking. Call ahead. Place your order. Eat. And enjoy the smile in your tummy. read more

Back to the staple we all know and love. Can't miss with the hot sausage breakfast sandwich

Best coffee I've had. Good down home breakfast. Early Sunday morning no crowd. Diner type seating with 8 tables. Waiter service is pleasant and quick. A neighborhood stable. read more

Silver Slipper is my favorite breakfast spot.. not sure why I never posted a review. The spicy, beef sausage is my go to and always with a sweet tea. The service is great and food comes out fast. The best part is how affordable they still are, even after all these years. Cash only is inconvenient, but for Silver Slipper, I'll go to the ATM. read more

My favorite family breakfast spot in the heart of Roxbury, always a vibe always great food always love!!! The best coffee in Boston by the way!!! Service is excellent friendly warm, and kind!!! Be there tomorrow morning... sincerely Blue... find me on IG @bluebossMvt read more

Hole in the wall but excellent food. Will go back the next time I am in town. Staff was not friendly but service was prompt and food was great. read more

This old school spot makes some of the best breakfast/brunch food Ive had in inner boston. The staff been there a while and know all the regulars. The place is a tiny hole in the wall but takes me back to the 80's and 90 when step into it!Best of all its not expensive at all. From pancakes to corn beef hash and grits you won't be disappointed. read more

Delicious food and the restaurant has a warm Dudley Square vibe. I went for breakfast & I highly recommend the Silver Slipper, the creamy & perfect grits....tasty sausage & egg sandwich is a wonderful way to start your day! read more

There salmon cakes were more like a crepes, the food looks more appealing on the menu than in the restaurant, very disappointed seeing that place is a staple in the community . I was shocked at the reviews of others maybe I was there when the more experienced cook wasn't read more

Good food, quick if you order ahead and the staff are nice enough. The place is cash only, somethingI didn't know at first cause I'm from out of town. There's a bank located right across the street tho so that's perfect. They're always packed when i go so keep that in mind. Overall a nice Black owned business read more

Absolutely phenomenal food! I rarely find myself able to clean a plate as fast as this, and the people there are absolutely wonderful!

Nothing a like a good local old school southern style breakfast. This hidden gem is right in the heart of Dudley Sq and I must say I was very pleased with their food and quick service. Definitely a close comparison to Brother's in Mattapan but I think Silver Slipper has fresher food since most of it they are making to order right in front of you. Will definitely be back for my $7 breakfast plate with their infamous spicy sausage! read more

Grits grits grits...its all about the grits!! . every single breakfast spot should have this on their menu..and im not talking shrimp n grits either..just regular old grits with a lil salt n pepper and cheese..everything else on the menu is good too..their ice tea is super sweet but delicious. This is one if 5 places that serves grits and theirs taste the best. read more

This place is awesome! If you're looking for an old school, hole in the wall, greasy spoon with great food, especially breakfast, go here. read more

Silver Slipper Restaurant - a plate of breakfast food - Diners Near Me - Roxbury, Massachusetts

I have been going to the Sliver Slipper for 8 years. I enjoy the atmosphere & Western Omelette. Always friendly service & delicious food. Try it out when you need some comfort food! read more

Silver Slipper is a ol' school place to eat. My grand-father use to eat here. They serve breakfast and lunch, they are not open for dinner time. I always order breakfast. The Texas stlye french toast is mouth-watering. Their breakfast selections are moderately priced. The food is so damn good. I brought my fiance there for the first time and he assumed that the food would be nasty but he was very pleased. The place is small but gets very crowded because the food is so good. If you go to Silver Slipper, please try their ice tea. I do not even buy ice tea in the stores or at restaurants. I only drink it if I go to Silver Slipper. Everyone orders their iced teas, it is an A+. They serve collard greens, oxtails and other southern meals. You have to go out to eat here. Do not expect desingner table cloths, curtains and a server with bow tie on. This an ol' school joint and it makes you feel like you are in the 60's when you eat here. I love Silver Slipper. read more

Disappointed. I expected a "Brothers Restaurant" experience (locals know the place I'm talking about in Mattapan Square) but instead I got an experience that was sub par. The breakdown: Steak was thin and spindly eggs were unsalted grits were unsalted hash browns were unsalted portions were tiny service was surly and slow I appreciate them looking out for my high blood pressure and cholesterol level. To be honest though if I was looking for that I would have went to dunkin donuts and ordered an orange juice and a banana. I was looking for good tasting, plentiful food with a smiling server...I received neither. I really hate to leave a review like this. I love to support local businesses so leaving a review like this for a longstanding establishment like this pains me, but I simply must be honest. Hopefully they clean up their act but with the rarity that I frequent the area they may not have a chance to redeem themselves. To top it all off...they don't do free refills on coffee when you eat in! Really? Come on silver slipper...I know you can do better than this. I have no idea why I received such a low quality of food and service. read more

Food was so great! Looks like a little hole in the wall spot...abut it's authentic and the real deal of Dorchester Boston!

Come here every Sunday morning for breakfast. Never disappointed. Might have to wait a little bit and customer service could be a lil better. But I have been eating here all my life. Very basic menu. Really good food. Cash only. Surprised there aren't more reviews read more

Such a great place; well it used to be. Aside from the cook on the grill there are no welcoming faces, warm smiles or even an effort to get your food order correct. This old Boston favorite has been a favorite of mine and my family for generations. The changing staff is lousy and has no problem letting you know they have no interest in being there. It's easy to see the shift as customers no longer spill into the streets waiting to order and enjoy their fabulous sweet tea. Too bad, cause there are lots of loyal customers. Too bad the staff has no loyalty to us. read more

Okay for quick local and greasy breakfast. Really isn't anything special and their menu is pretty standard. The spicy sausage is pretty good but it is very spicy. I order over the phone for pick up and it's always a hit or a miss with who picks up and how their attitude is. Also, they frequently get my order wrong. My boyfriends aversion to onions is too real and they seem not to care that I specifically say no onions. Anyway I like to support local business especially with the gentrification going on in the area. But I will say they need to update that menu just a tad and step up the service. Other than that it's cheap and tasty food. If your blood sugar ever plummets Just try the sweet tea- definitely liquid sugar but it's tasty here and there. Definitely not healthy to get regularly. read more

Y'all didn't put NO eggs in my plate, my bacon was bussin and the corned beef was MAD salty. But my girlfriend got French toast, bacon and eggs and it was a PACKED plate. Y'all like her ? That's why she got all that food and I got a skimp plate ? AND SHE GOT MORE STRIPS OF BACON THEN ME !!!!!! read more

I only had the spicy sausage and grits. The spicy sausage was good and the grits were grits. The sweet tea was overly sweet but my 3 year old went to town. read more

I'm white. I live in the Dudley Square neighborhood. This is the only restaurant/dive that made me and a Salvadorean friend feel acutely ill at ease. All conversation ceased when they saw my face. I'm usually pretty brave about things like this--I force my way in and crack a joke and hope to defuse the tension--but the glowering just didn't let up. Too bad, 'cause I like the kind of food they serve. read more

Food is so good - the website above incorrect though. The place is very small so I doubt that they even have a website. Home cooking food - they were featured in the movie Gone Baby Gone!!!! read more

Ok this is one place where breakfast and the GRITS go together they are memorable ive been to the silver slipper probably 100 times in my life and when im in the dudley area in the early morning thats where all be till noon lol,, no but serious the hot sausage sandwhich is bomb and the french toast plates with eggs and grits are off da hook,,it is a very small place but if your lucky you can get a place to sit on the revolving stool read more

The best breakfast spot to get French toast and scrambled eggs with cheese, yummy and they only accept cash but there's a few bank around to withdraw...the staff is the friendliest but the food is great. read more

The pancakes were not well done... the eggs were mega greasy! And they forgot my toast! And the server was fresh!

Never had the workds best service here. Food was ok for me. Not a top choice. Grits were salty. I wasn't offered any butter or jam for my toast and server was unattainable. Not to mention we needed to use the restroom and needed to go to another establishment to do so.lo read more

Great pancakes! Random spot but old school dinner food is fantastic! Staff is friendly and the food is yummy!
