    The Silos restaurant is one of the largest and most unique dining establishments in Oriental NC, especially based on the fact it was created from 2 silos. This place bares a strong resemblance to a hunting cabin, with a solid wood interior and wooden furniture throughout. You definitely can't help but feel that small town vibe, while watching the hustling and bustling staff bring you the wonderful service they provide so well. It's a clamorous environment. Unfortunately, not every entree leaves a very good first impression and the staff know which ones they are so be sure to ask. The ravioli may come with a homemade marinara sauce, which I am still on the fence about, but the ravioli itself is far from homemade. Lacking any character and cold in the center, this was not the entree for me. They did however have a good manicotti that I was able to sample, and that dish was not served cold. Cheers!

    Interior

    My parents have a beach house in Oriental. I've driven by Silos many times, but this was my first time giving it a go. First, I love its unique and true to name architectural design. I mean it is literally two silos with a little main entry building in-between. We called in our order and took it to go, but enjoyed looking at the interior while waiting to pay. It was simple and causal with records, guitars, and other musical memorabilia covering all the walls and some ceilings. Looked like a chill place to enjoy some pizza and beers, I will return to dine in on a future visit to Oriental. We ordered some of the bruschetta (French bread slices, Parmesan cheese, fresh tomato, basil, balsamic glaze) as a appetizer. The French bread was nice with mix of soft and crispy texture and I liked their balsamic glaze. We also shared a Caesar salad (Fresh Romaine, shredded Parmesan, croutons) it's as pretty basic, but filled the need for some roughage. For pizzas we got the Veggie Pizza (Onions, green peppers, mushrooms, olives, tomato, garlic) and the White Pizza (Parmesan sauce, garlic, basil, tomato, Mozzarella and Provolone cheese) both in Large pizza size. Each had 8 nice sized slices and felt the both pizzas were nicely prepared. The crust was bubbling and pillowy, which I was very happy with as I prefer a softer crust. But the pizza slices still had some structure when you pick them up to eat them. The veggie had lots of toppings and loved the Parmesan sauce on the white pizza. Both were good, but I'd give the slight edge to the White pizza. You can always tell which was the favorite of the group as it goes first when going for next day leftovers- it was the White pizza for sure. They were out of the dessert we wanted, but happily settled for the Cinnamon dough bites. Wasn't a huge order, but enough for us each to have a couple bite sized sweets after all the savory goodness. The dough was warm and soft and had a nice balance of cinnamon and glaze. Stills. Bit sweet for me overall for me, but I'll always pick another slice of pizza over a dessert generally. Others in my party liked them. I tend to cook or go for fresh fish when in the area, but always good to know there is a solid pizza option near by. I will be back at Silos for sure

    My wife and I stopped in here for the first time. We had heard some good things about this place so we wanted to give it a go. We started off with the side salads, creamy Italian for her and blue cheese for me. The dressings were very good and some are made in house. As for the main courses, the bride chose the shrimp with lobster sauce over linguine while my pick was the shrimp Diablo. The portions were huge and served very hot as well. We also were given homemade breadsticks, which were fantastic! We ended up taking some food home with us as it was too much to eat all at once. We also got a pepperoni pizza to take home with us so we could give that a try. The reviews for the pizza have been great! We definitely will be back!

    We lucked out and stumbled upon this place as we drive into town. We didn't have to wait, to our surprise, but I think that was more lunch than anything else. We both ordered the steaks, a different one each. Came with a salad which was really the only disappointment. Limp lettuce and other veggies that had sat on the plate for a little too long. My "worlds greatest" steak was perfectly cooked. The sauce, shrimp and Cajun sliced potatoes all come together for a stellar meal for around $25. Nice ambiance and good service. Hannah was great. I feel for the wait staff, the kitchen is downstairs and the dining room is up. They hustled all evening. If the owner is reading, I met your friend Charles today with the MG and I think you passed us with your MGB.

We were in no rush and our waiter (Beckett) was very accommodating with our pace. we ordered drinks and settled in on reviewing the small menu. Drinks were fine but I thought my beer (Sexy Cool Hazy IPA) was a little flat. We asked if there were any appetizers that would lend themselves to sharing. The only two, deviled eggs and pimento cheese, were not anything we were interested in so we passed. Surprisingly, there was not even a salad option as a starter. Two of the dinners had the NC catch of the day, golden tilefish. It was nice but a very small portion. One had the shrimp and clam purloo. It was a generous portion and was reported to be good. I had the braised pork cheeks. They tasted good and were not fatty at all. Looking back on our dinner, the food was fine but nothing exceptional. Also nothing "fresh" on the menu; salad, fresh vegetables, nothing. Also the lack of something other than the very pedestrian offers to share is something to consider. For what we paid, I would expect much better. PS - Our waiter, Beckett, was very good. Attentive enough but not too much. Also, why do restaurants of this caliber charge more for a credit card. Who is going to pay cash for a $300 meal? Just crank it into the price of the food and stop rubbing our noses in your cost to do business.

It's as if they have somehow managed the flavors of a Michelin restaurant with plating that isn't so... boring and sterile. Portion sizes are more than adequate, none of that one taste nonsense here. The service is always fantastic, professional and friendly. The owner is occasionally willing to share recipes with you and has never disappointed me with a recommendation. The cocktails? Just "wow". Perhaps what makes this place so fabulous is that they manage to do so well in so many categories. I'll consider that more in depth next time I make a reservation which may just have to be today. Speaking of, if you don't make a reservation, don't be disappointed when you don't have a seat. This isn't a place you can always walk in and sit down. They don't have many tables and it's obvious that they aren't the type of place to sit more people than they can take care of. Take some time, enjoy a drink and one of the best meals you'll have in the area. You won't regret it!
