About Me

I'm a ranch dressing aficionado. I started Ranch Out for the good for others: seeking the restaurants serving the finest homemade ranch, as well as the establishments which choose to insult their customers by providing ranch bottled by a manufacturer.

Silvertron Cafe

Long time no Ranch! Back in April, some of my best friends and I went to Birmingham, Alabama to celebrate my 23rd birthday. Those close to me know that I have another love in this life other than ranch dressing...singing karaoke. It turned out that Birmingham has a bar called "The Nick" where you can sing karaoke with a live band...so naturally I dragged my friends kicking and screaming to Bama so I could sing at this place. Anyways, one morning of this trip we weren't feeling too fresh and needed a nice meal (accompanied by some ranch of course) to put some pep in our step. Drew (my best guy friend in the whole world) knew of this great little restaurant called Silvertron Cafe, and so we decided to check it out. I ordered a burger, some thin & crispy french fries, and as always, a side of ranch. The waitress presented me with a very generous serving of ranch. Wonderful coloring, nice ranch aroma, perfect cool temperature, and that thin consistency I always look for. Drew took a picture for me and we were out the door. We went browsing at some nearby shops, and I was surprised when the man pictured below tapped me on the shoulder and said "Ma'am, I think you forgot your credit card." Sooo typical of me. This guy had overheard us talking at the table about shopping, and when he noticed that I had left my card, went into every store on the block to try and give it back to me. Talk about customer service! He was my hero!! I couldn't wait to get home and write my review! Unfortunately, Drew lost his phone that next day and had never sent me the photo. Without a photo there is really no point in making a new post, so I was super bummed. I shared my ranch woes with a work pal, and he informed me that he was going to Bham on business soon and didn't mind stopping by Silvertron to get some pics. What a great friend! I couldn't believe that he did it! To be completely honest, his pictures are much better than mine; I need to step my game up. I personally think that the second photo with the floral arrangement and the people eating in the background could be on a food magazine cover...just saying. As for the rating...with the combination of excellent customer service, large serving size, great taste, and all the trouble went to get this photo, the Silvertron most certainly gets 5 out of 5 stars!
