We were busy at the grilled cheese bar on Satuday!
We had a big response to our grilled cheese bar this past weekend! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and created their own sandwich at the “bar.”
Please let us know if you have any suggestions in the comment section below. We will be making some changes and adding some things as we go, but we’re looking forward to opening up and making sandwiches on Saturdays this summer.
Follow us on Facebook for hours and updates on when we’ll be up there.
We look forward to serving up some more grilled cheese, paninis, and fries this summer!

Grilled cheese sandwiches are perfect for summertime!
What’s better on a summer Saturday than a grilled cheese and fries? We’ve got the panini press and fryer ready to go this weekend. Stop by on Saturday, June 9th between 11-4 to get some delicious gooey goodness!
You can build your own grilled cheese sandwich with specialty ingredients including basil and aioli. And we’ll be serving signature Silverock fries–you’ll have to try some out and see how they compare with some of the best french fries around the state. We’ve tried them and they are instant favorites of ours.
The sandwiches start at $4 and the ingredients are priced individually. We’ll have fries and other sides as well. Come by and see us in the cafe and let us handle lunch this weekend. We’ll see you soon!

Add your leftover turkey to a grilled cheese to keep the weekend feast going.
The Thanksgiving weekend is a great time to make the trip to Silverock. After you are done with the big family meal, you can feast on leftovers all weekend as you watch football and enjoy the Fall weather. Does it get any better?
Here are some ideas on how to “repurpose” some of your Thanksgiving staples:
Turkey and Stuffing Grilled Cheese Sandwich
You can’t beat a grilled cheese on chilly day. Add some turkey and stuffing and you’re in for some serious sandwich perfection. Warning, get ready for a nap after eating.
Ingredients:
2 slices, sourdough bread
1 cup leftover turkey meat chopped
1 cup stuffing
1/4 cup cranberry sauce
2 tbsp cream cheese
2 tbsp butter or margarine
2 slices red onion
4 tbsp Muenster chesse
1/2 avocado sliced
Lightly spread butter or margarine on the outside of your sourdough bread, also add a small amount of butter to your pan. Mix muenster cheese and stuffing in large chunks and spread on the inside of the bread. Mix the turkey with the cream cheese and cranberry sauce, spread on one side and top with avocado. Cover with other side of bread. Cook in a saute pan over low/medium heat, pressing down with a spatula or place a small plate on top to get the bread cooked evenly. When one side is browned (five minutes or so) flip and cook the other side until browned. Enjoy, and prepare for a blissful food coma.
Warm up this weekend with some Leftover Turkey Soup
Leftover Turkey Soup
Nothing like a heaping bowl of soup to stay warm on a cool afternoon. Try this turkey soup recipe for a post-holiday treat.
Ingredients:
2 quarts chicken broth
1 turkey carcass, all meat removed
1 onion, halved, plus 1 onion, minced
1 carrot, halved lengthwise, plus 1 carrot, minced
1 whole stalk celery, plus 1 more stalk, minced
2 bay leaves
3 cups dark turkey meat
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 carrot, minced
1 stalk celery, minced
3 cups leftover cooked Thanksgiving side vegetables (Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, green beans)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
- Put chicken broth, turkey, onion halves, carrot halves, 1 celery stalk, and 1 bay leaf in a large stock pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer about 1 1/2 hours. Finely dice the remaining onion, carrot and celery and reserve.
- Dice the turkey meat. Make sure meat pieces are no larger than the size of a soup spoon. (If preparing soup the next day, be sure to store leftover turkey meat in an airtight container before placing it in the refrigerator, top with 1 or 2 ladles full of broth to keep meat moist.)
- Before straining broth, remove large bones and carcass with tongs. Strain the broth through a sieve, covered with wet cheese cloth. Discard the solids. Transfer broth to a bowl set in a bath of ice water, which will cool the broth quickly and help keep it fresher longer. This can be done the night before and stored in the refrigerator until the next day.
- In a large soup pot, heat garlic cloves in the olive oil. Allow to brown slightly and add minced carrots, celery, and onion. Sweat over medium-low heat until softened, about 7 or 8 minutes.
- Dice the leftover vegetables (here Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and green beans). Add the chopped sage to the soup pot along with the turkey broth and the remaining bay leaf. Bring to a simmer. When simmering, add Brussels sprouts, green beans and diced turkey meat to the soup. Bring it back up to a simmer. Finally, add the sweet potatoes to the center, and gently push them down. Turn the heat off and cover. Allow to sit and steam for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Let simmer for 5 more minutes and serve.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Wanted to pass on this note from Bill Keller (via Facebook):
Want to make sure you all know about fresh seafood available nearby at Soggy Bottom in Dodge City. On our way to Silverock, we’ve stopped and bought shrimp, and the young woman there steamed it and added spice. We’ve also bought the store’s fresh salmon to grill, and we’ve bought smoked salmon spread and gumbo — all delicious. You’ll find the store facing Alabama 69 in one of those small strip malls, this one across from the Subway. You’ll see small signs along the road saying “shrimp,” “oysters,” etc.
Thanks Bill! If anyone is thinking about seafood this weekend, stop by and let us know what you think!
