Spurs is not the spot to hit for a good time out or great food, but when you're in a pinch for some grizzle with a twist...
Let's face it... it's a diner with a Tex-Mex twist. Pre-made patties, cheese on absolutely everything. Not the nicest looking spot (clean though), the vibe isn't kickin (more dreary and set up like a diner with a bar), and the staff isn't the friendliest (this place will stick around with or without you and oddly staffed by Russians).
But the food is somewhat on point. I know it's a Diner, so I'm not expecting my burgler to be bloody as hell, more of a medium well spot regardless of how you want it. The burgers seem to be inspired by the Texas-Mexican War with loads of southwestern flavor options. The fries are pretty damn tasty though... definitely definitely waffle fries. Sandwiches and salads are lacking in flava and TLC; if they were prepped how they were described it may be a different story... but then again I keep reminding myself ITS A DINER!!! -

SS is good if you are roaming around SoHo or the Village in the middle of the night and you need something hot and greasy to help keep the alcohol down and make it home in one piece. But both times I've stopped here I was less than pleased.
My discontent basically comes down to the fact that they can't even make a decent order of french fries. I can't cook and even I can make french fries. Every diner has to be able to serve a decent order of french fries and SS can't do it. They give you a large plate full of hollow grease sticks. It's like they fried rice paper instead of potatoes...
But it will still help deal with a night of drinking, so I guess it could be worse...
Have fun.

I got a chicken sandwich which was pretty good. The fries actually had some flavor.
Most things about the place are pretty huge. The portions (most importantly), the ceiling fans, the windows looking out onto Houston Street.
They say that the beef and chicken is free range too. -

We ended up here as the pizza place we planned to eat at was closed.Place did not look too bad from the outside,but all went downhill from there. Menu was plain stupid....not sure why there are thousands of items on it- A 6 page menu ? are you kidding??
I had California Eggs Benedict- they were not too bad, but the home fries were crap. My boyfriend had a disgusting lump of meat that they call a hamburger. It tasted terrible, was sloppy and basically just fell all apart. Ick.
The wait staff were far more interested in talking to each other and texting than waiting on tables. I had to ask for a refill of pop after being ignored for 30 minutes.Bathroom was dirty.We paid far too much money for what we got.Never again !!! -

Listen, I'm from the south...not the bougie, foodie utopia that is gotham city. Point being that I can appreciate a greasy spoon without the flair. This was the exact mood I was in (cautiously optimistic) when I ordered from silver spurs via seamless web.
I don't even want to comment on the food.. Oh! Wait! That's because I still haven't received any. I will only say that they desperately need to reevaluate their quote times. As I type this review, I am angrily noshing on cocktail peanuts, impatiently awaiting my order which was quoted a 10-25 mins delivery time. It's now been over an hour!! -

What a horrible place... It has one of those "wink-wink" pun menus, with sections called "appeteasers" and "Eggotistical Eggoismatic Eggs". That's just a little too whimsicle for me first thing on a Saturday afternoon. The coffee is awful. The food is worse, all greasy and with uncertain ingredients. Stay away!

This place is a damn disaster is what it is.
First of all, the menu. Instead of asking drunk drivers to say the alphabet backwards, the police should present them with a copy of Silver Spurs' menu and ask them to decode it. Only a completely sober, caffeinated individual can go through it and make sense of the endless, pointless "jokes" and wordplays. I gave up and just played russian roulette, picking at random.
Secondly, the food is shit. Silver Spurs? More like Tin Turds.
Thirdly, it is open 24/7 which means that it is serving shit food all the time.
I rest my case. -

Them spurs have faded to tin, cowboy.
First of all, holy fake marketing Batmean! Western name, western menu shtick, decorated like a cheesy 60's diner and staffed by people born nowhere near Texas. I also like that they put the menu prices for add-ons in "pennies" but one add-on apparently costs .75 pennies which means less than one penny.
Nitpicking aside, the food is not great and if it tasted anything like the menu described it, we wouldn't have a problem. This is one of those joints where if you're a loser from California (like me) then you keep holding out that the food is going to make everything worth it but sadly you still end up disappointed.
Summary: Pancakes - crap. Eggs - greasy. Bacon - should have passed. Dysentery - free with any food purchase. -

We were in the area with group of 9 people, and were looking for coffee and food, we found it here and enjoyed it.
I was not aware that this was a chain (being an out of stater) but I think they do a fine job of having a diverse menu. Yes, it is a diner, but there were interesting sandwiches/burgers/breakfasts and at least 2 vegetarian options. The coffee was tolerable. My sandwich, the Ms Annie Oakley, was surprisingly good. I didn't expect much since it was a diner atmosphere, but it ended up being a very large wrap and had a lot of fresh veggies in it, along with a decent quality of cheese and some plain turkey lunch meat and some herb sauce. You have to pay extra for fries, which I did not, but i have heard good things about them. The burgers were great - the bf says. The buns were good quality, the burger was big and thick and cooked just right.
A bit pricey, about 8 dollars for the wrap sandwich with no fries, but it was filling and enjoyable. With so many restaurants in NYC maybe this one isn't the cream of the crop, but I found my experience to be satisfying and crowd pleasing. -

Basically, you pay four times the price of a Marie Callender's frozen dinner, and get half the taste. At least that was my experience ordering a meatloaf entree for lunch today from Silver Spurs via Seamless Web.
In a tripartite arrangement, I had meatloaf, corn nibblets, and mashed potatoes with gravy. The corn was flavorless and could have benefited from some butter. The potatoes were gloopy and fake. They were simply inedible. Worse, the potatoes were topped off with a gruesome gravy that had the consistency of apple sauce. The meatloaf was passable though. The three large sections were substantial enough to make the lunch filling in spite of the fact that I didn't touch much of the corn and avoided the potatoes entirely.
All in all, I was pretty surprised by this turnout. Silver Spurs sports two locations in Manhattan which seemed like an indicator of success. Further, the menu was whimsical and kind of fun to read through. I actually was torn between choices. This seemed like a first rate diner, but, honestly, what I had for lunch today was just terrible. For a considerably better meatloaf entree, hit up Ivy's Bistro.Listed in: Eating Downtown with Seamless…

This is your traditional decent diner. Although I will give this diner major points on the creativity of the menu wording. This is a casual place for brunch, lunch or a quick meal. The menu is expansive and includes really any diner-type food you could want. The setting is not particularly comfortable or nice, but it does the trick. I've also never seen a wait here and it resides in an incredibly convenient location with outdoor seating.
Most recently, I went with some girlfriends and we all had different combinations of omelets/egg benedict. I had an egg white omelet with various veggies. The omelet was decent, the home fries were yum (almost like mini french fries), and the coffee was fine. One of my girlfriends got the California Benedict and that looked really delicious. We were all pleased by our food. Coffee was fine, Iced coffee was gross (don't order it!), Pickles are good.
As I said, this is a simple neighborhood diner and it does the trick! -

Whoa, was not expecting my number of stars to correspond with the majority of the reviews here. I came here today craving a massive burger and that's what I got.
Unfortunately, despite the behemoth size of the cheddar cheese burger that I got, it was mostly uninspiring and forgettable. I like that a portion of our tab goes to an organization that supports animals given free range, but it just wasn't very impressive. Kind of like sticking your hand into the dragon bag during the first Triwizard Tournament and pulling out the Swedish Short-Snout.
Now, the cheese fries were alright but I think they tasted exactly like gas station cheese fries, except not at an exorbitant price. I think what really bugged me about this place was how overly pricey things were for the mediocrity of their food. I probably won't be coming back here as there are cheaper and soopar tastier options. -
Review from Jane K.
I'm with Andrew on this. What's with the hate? I've never been to the other SS location but this little diner down the street from my crib is a haven of breakfast delight in a sea of late opening, line-out-the-door, hyped up brunch spots.
If you prefer higher prices and creative menu options, head next door to Jane (but you'll have to wait until 11:30 for them to open on Sunday). Myself? I want a grinning waitress to scoop me up as soon as I walk through the door and seat me in my favorite spot near the window facing Houston. I want a million and a half options with kitschy cheesy names like Eggotistical Eggoismatic Eggs and Auntie Bear flap jacks. I want instant service where I wait less than 60 seconds for my coffee and less than 5 minutes for my grub.
Most importantly I want to know that any time of day there will be a seat open for me and nary a plaid neckscarf in sight while I devour my eggs bene in my sweatpants and Uggs early on a Saturday morning. -

This place makes amazing grilled cheese. I get mine with tomato and bacon. Honestly, it isn't a place I like. I don't like the vibe. The location on LaGuardia is far better in terms of ambience because you can sit outside and it isn't as dreary and dismal within as the Broadway location. I feel oppressed inside. It's very dank.
The menu--well, it's going to amuse some and irritate others. Count me in the irritated column.
If you want a diner and this is your closest alternative, I don't think you can go wrong if you stick with staple items, but it isn't cheap.Listed in: Grilled Cheese: The Good, the…

I never speak spanish publicly, but every now and then, if you get enough rum into me, I'll recall the rudimentary lessons my Dominican stepmother taught me. Case in point:
Hola hermano, tenemos bebidos *realmente* y hambre. ¿Puede usted darnos 3 pedidos de patatas fritas cubiertas queso, y agrega el tocino a dos de esas órdenes? Haga lo rápidamente, y we' extremidad del ll usted $5 adicionales...
Quick translation:
We got drunk (yet again) at Madame X around the corner and need food - STAT. Hook us up with 2 orders of bacon cheese-fries AND 1 with just cheese for our vegetarian friend? $5 extra if you do it with the quickness....
Never used the bathroom, so no idea if they're wheelchair friendly though. But damn, those bacon-cheese fries were AMAZING!
My apologies to the patrons of Madame X that night - yes, we were those girls/that guy on the couches eating outta an aluminum take-out pan at 2:30 in the morn last weekend. -

I give it 3 stars since it's a hit or a miss sort of thing.
One time my friends and I were craving Turkey, since it was around Thanksgiving and so we all decided to get their open face turkey sandwich. It was hella good - cranberry and mash potatoes! YUMS!
But then when we got it the second time around - the mash potatoes weren't as good as before and nor was the turkey sandwich.
*sigh*
The burgers here are a bit strange - I blame the meat, it's funky!
I would just get their breakfast entrees since you can't really mess that up and plus you can order breakfast any time of the day! -

Look, I'm not going to pretend Silver Spurs is gourmet cuisine. But honestly, how often can the average New Yorker even afford gourmet cuisine? In those more common times when you just want some regular food at a reasonable price, this specific Silver Spurs is a more than adequate choice.
The food here is good for what it is. The wings are tasty and covered with the right amount of sauce, the onion rings and fries are crispy, the mozzarella sticks are super cheesy, and pretty much anything else that sounds like it could belong on a diner menu has a far better incarnation here than at, say, Around the Clock or Cozy Soup 'n' Burger. And even healthier fare like the Cobb salad is surprisingly tasty (and ridiculously filling).
As mentioned, the prices are reasonable for most of the items on the menu, though some things, most notably the sandwiches, sometimes skew towards being more expensive than they need to be. The staff, though not the brightest bunch, is friendly and the delivery guys are awesome. The overall kitschy-ness of the place is amplified by the faux-cowboy theme, but the interior is always clean and sitting outside in the summer is lots of fun since you can people-watch along Houston.
Bathroom Grade: 4/10. Not bad, but there's this weird part of the restaurant that is barely ever used, and it's that part that you have to go through to get to the bathroom. All this means that you'll suddenly be running into the cooks near the kitchen and the on-break wait staff while trying to go pee.Listed in: Heaven is a chicken wing…

I have become obsessed with Silver Spurs. Whenever I go to the city, I have to eat there. I love sitting outside; there is always action and never a dull moment. I had a burger the last time I went; with cheddar, mushrooms, avocado, and some jalapenos. OMG!!!! Best meal ever... I also had to get their fries and a shake... TOTALLY WORTH EVERY CALORIE LOL!

There's something comforting about a laid-back burger joint with a humorous menu. This is a place where you and your friends sit down for a bite after shopping your way up Broadway, hungry from all that walking.
The menu features burgers and char-grilled chicken, which suits those who more "Friends" than "Sex in the City." Sure they have 'Zee Saladz and Zee Diets Foodz' but why would you want that here?
If I were you, I'd go for the Colossals, aka 100% pure USDA choice beef. Mmmm... beef.
I'm partial to the Western Union, a juicy burger topped with guacamole (yes, I said guacamole) served on a giant english muffin, (yes, I said english muffin).
In fact, make it a platter and sub in the sweet potatie fries for the regular. Man, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!Listed in: Foodstuff Your Face with…

There's really no nice way to put this, but when I walked into Silver Spurs, hungover on a Friday for lunch, the place smelled like old people. The odor was overpowering just coming through the door. If this stench was some sort of geriatric cologne, it would surely be branded Wet Grandpa. Had my co-worker and I not been severely dehydrated and starving, we would've left. And, trust me, it was considered.
Instead, we sat down and tried to make sense of their ridiculously overkill menu. The entire thing is down-right annoying, attempting to assign clever hillbilly names to traditionally greasy fare. And it's just way too long. I don't need 250+ items with cute misspellings. I need sustenance, damnit! Sometimes bigger is just not better.
But, speaking of girth, I ordered the Sadie-nite Special (Get it? If not, you aren't missing much... ), a three-cheese burger and, man, was it huge! The nursing home smell was replaced with juicy meat fumes and the barrage of beef did the trick, reviving myself to human status once again. It wasn't the best thing I've ever had, mind you, but "above average" in the patty world is a fair assessment.
However, once fully devoured, Wet Grandpa was back. Whatever enjoyment I got from my steroid burger abruptly vanished, and the check couldn't come fast enough. I may consider delivery some hungover Friday down the road, but I don't see myself stepping foot in Silver Spurs any time soon.Listed in: The Inevitable Burger List

After irish exiting some god awful bar downtown, I somehow wandered into this establishment. In my drunken stupor at 3am, this was my savior.
The menu was something stupid like 6 pages long of straight black and white text that prompts the geek in my to say "shit. TL; DR! TL DR!"
I spent 20 minutes debating whether I was too drunk or not drunk enough to decipher the menu. Am i that wasted that i cant read? No i cant be. The mini internal freak out was aggravated by the staff asking me and my friend what we were going to order every 2 minutes.
"........ IM GOING THROUGH THINGS..... I need a minute"
I had to take a picture of the menu and upload it to facebook to reassure myself that the menu in fact is written by Lenny from Of Mice and Men. I resolved to pass the responsibility of ordering onto my friend, as i gave up trying to comprehend what i was reading. Does everything need to be written in stupid colloquial gibberish? Does everything need a failed little quip in italics after it? This menu was so much reading, its like Dostoyevsky's great grandchild who failed their APGAR score wrote this.
The food itself was completely generic diner - drunk munchies food. Some generic chicken sandwich with soggy fries that didnt satisfy my drunken self, just made me wish i was home in bed under the covers.
Overall - this place probably just gets people like me - drunk, semi lost, drunk munchies. If it werent for that stupid menu, I probably wouldnt even remember this place existed. -

Went there after a drink in the LES, and settled for toast and coffee. My companion had fries and chicken fingers- they smelled like heaven.
I got a lot of butter for my toast without asking, but the coffee-ick.
Late at night people were stopping in and grabbing a burger.
Not much in the way of atmosphere and a bit pricey, but hey late at night, if you want to sit down in a clean, quiet place and have some chow, this hits the spot. -

Stopped in by chance a few weeks ago, to use the bathroom, and grab a quick cup o' joe...The waitstaff and owner were sooo nice, and friendly and gracious, that we came back for dinner, upon their recommendation....The latte , by the way was great, served in oversized cups...
We decided to come back for what we hoped was a simple, great version of a hamburger diner dinner.
We did.
Not happy!
We entered and we were greeted,(they remembered us!) right away...We sat down and ordered...My caesar salad , $6.50 was knife chopped lettuce, big croutons, and a plastic cup of that goopy caesars dressing that comes in those 5 gallon vats...Was I expecting a magnificent caesars?, NO!, but I was expecting something a little more creative, and nicely prepared, based on the very nice physical version of a diner that these folks had built.
We ordered a hamburger, a kid's burger, and a turkey burger. All solid versions of burgers, not cheap at diner prices, and really, not any better than the decent diners found all over our neighborhood...The fries were good, but they are at almost all the diners I've eaten at in Manhattan...
The waitress was about the worst one we ever had...
She NEVER once looked at our table, and asked if we needed anything , until, of course, we were ready to pay. I got up and walked to the end of the place to ask her for a drink...My wife got up and asked her for something as well...
She didn't set our table..No napkins, no silverware...As she brought my salad, she then realized that there were no table settings, and grabbed a napkin, fork and spoon of the next table...Then brought more settings...My empty salad bowl sat on the table for the rest of the meal...She never asked if she could take it, or if I was done. I wound up putting it on the next table...
The burger was juicy and tasty, above average, but not memorable, and pretty pricey for a diner...The pickles, boring,ordinary cucumbers.
What I thought I was getting was an excellent version of diner food, based on the really nice diner decor,menu, and attitude of the staff...
What we got was average diner food, at higher than average prices, and a waitress that was pretty awful.
The owner did come back, and we wanted to say hello, but she never came over...Were we supposed to again leave our table to walk to the other end of the diner to say, "Hi, we came back?"..I think not. It's HER job to be a hostess.
Next time I want diner food for dinner I will go to Moonstruck, 2nd Ave @ 5th Street...Not cheap, classic horribly /wonderfully appointed Greek diner, with good food...Good enough for me! -

If really huge (and fairly priced) chunks of hamburger are your thing, this place is for you. Granted, I like burgers a little more than the next guy, but these are just too big and messy. They were usually cooked close to well done, no matter what I asked (this seems to be more and more of a problem with burgers nowadays). The other sandwiches (which, as others have mentioned, all have silly-ass cute names) might be a little better, I've had a chicken one which was a lot more doable. Fries were ok, onion rings were better.
Service is ehh.....lots of "I'm too cool to be here" waiters/waitresses.
I can see this place being really attractive to tourists, but it's really just another diner in the city. There's tons of better places for this kind of grub.Listed in: Burgers

Just because you're a diner doesn't mean you have to be bad.
I went with a group of four. This was our third choice in the area (everything seemed to be closed for some reason). I was hoping the food would actually be surprisingly tasty, but nope, no cigar. My friends had burgers, I had breakfast food, which you'd expect to be a little greasy and bland. But this food tasted completely greasy and there was no other flavor. 0, nada, zilch. Like they put the stuff on the plate and then sprayed Pam all over it and somehow removed all other recognizable flavors. Not good. At all. Also, my friend asked for a side of onion rings, but the waitress gave her french fries.
The food looks good when I walk by on weekends (I live up the street), which sort of tempts me back, but then I recall the taste of the food I had and nope, not returning.... -

What's with the hate??! Every neighborhood should have a good diner and boy am I glad to have Silver Spurs.
I'll agree that the menu is a little weird and it's a little more expensive than other places, but this place has the best burgers I've had in NYC (and yes, I'm including Big Nicks). Silver Spurs burgers are HAAAAYUUUUUGEEEEE! Officially 10 ounces, they even seem bigger. You know, they're the kind of burgers, where you have to use a fork and a knife (might be helpful to have some bigger bums here guys) to eat it almost, the kind of burgers that you almost get your whole mouth around, the kind of burgers that make you take a five minute break halfway through, the kind of burgers that just might cheer up your girlfriend on a bad day. Plenty of selection too with about 15 mouth-watering choices, but they're cool if want to make some modifications for own. Also tried their sweet potato fries, they're excellent.
I've also been here for brunch and their omlettes are quite large and tasty as well. You can get breakfast all day.
Interestingly, when we got there at 8:30 on a Friday night, the place was almost abandoned, but by 10, the place was hopping. Definitely a great place to sit outside and do some people watching. Might not be as much fun inside. -

Perhaps it was because it was midnight on a Friday night. Perhaps it was because it was raining, and we were the only ones in the restaurant, save for a party of 4 indulging in cheesecake and coffee. Perhaps it was that I was already tired and bored from a rather non-eventful evening at an Irish pub, which ended in shots that tasted like candy. Or perhaps it was just because I was starving, craving some salty, greasy unhealthy crap to soak up all those shots.
Me: turkey burger with jalapeno jack cheese and fries. Him: Taco salad with chili.
Waitress: "Sure, honey... anything else?"
No thanks.
Twenty minutes later, I have a rather sawdust-tasting turkey burger in front of me. Jalapeno jack is evident by sight but most definitely not by flavor. "Where's the kick?" I find myself wondering. Him, he's got a taco salad with chicken, no chili in sight.
Waitress: "Oh really? I dunno why he does that! Our chef made two of these for some reason. We had to throw the other one away. I'll bring some chili on the side, is that okay?"
We ate, mostly just because candy shots without food to follow is asking for trouble. Thank goodness the company was good and the conversation even better, because if I were here with only the food and service to rely on, it really could ruin my Friday night...
...not that it was anything special to begin with. -

One of my favorite lunch spots in Soho b/c it's cheap but they have outdoor seating. Service is pretty slow and bland and they don't do free refills (wtf?!) but the menu is pretty diverse, the main focus is Southwestern grill food. I like the Ragin' Cajun, a spicy roast beef sandwich and spicy fries.
One of the cute things about the menu is that it's all written in Southern slang, instead of Small and Large the have "Runt and Grunt", or "Little Bit and Little Bit More".
Sometimes you can p/u a faint wifi signal from the nearby Apple Store. -

Live in the neighborhood and got a huge protein jones and decided to give this basic place a whirl. Ordered an "omelet to go", feta and tomato, hold the ham. Rye toast--no butter. Got that? Toast it but no butter.
Was the omelet *grilled* or deep fried? It was leathery, very thin, greasy, highly salted, had no cheese flavor--not sure cheese was included. The rye toast? Dipped and swathed in *butter*.
Ten dollars later and wiser, I will not return.
