Dinner
The Silver Dollar is a re-imaging of a 1950s Bakersfield, California honky tonk. It’s an homage to gritty honky tonk music and gritty Southerners transplanted in Southern California.
The menu is a modern take on traditional working-class dishes that might have been found in Bakersfield during the era. The Southern roots are obvious in dishes such as The Hickory-Smoked Beef Brisket, Breaded Catfish, and Fried Chicken Livers. The Southern California influence is reflected in dishes like Sweet Potato Taquitos.
