We almost skipped Natalia's because of some of the negative reviews, but we're so glad we decided to give it a chance! Our experience was fantastic from start to finish!!! It was a slower morning with only couple dine in guest, was quiet morning in the mountains but loved the quaint and very cozy vibe with great antique decor! There were three of us, and we ordered the French toast with scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy with eggs over easy, and the traditional breakfast with wheat toast. Every plate was huge, the food arrived hot and full of flavor, and everything was cooked just right. Our waiter was wonderful! Very friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Great service really made the experience even better. We're so grateful we decided to see for ourselves instead of relying solely on the reviews. Natalia's exceeded our expectations, and we hope others will give this local spot a chance too. We'll definitely be back! read more

We visited by way of the train. We were seated very quickly and orders were taken promptly. Food arrived fairly quickly. The meals were mediocre. The overall service was ok. The atmosphere was a step back in time with the intent being an old saloon vibe. I will choose another option if I visit the area again. read more

Walk in to a nice Welcome greeting. Large place, easy seating and very relaxing inside. The menu was quite diverse with something for everyone. read more

The trout is really bad. Chicken parmigiana is really bad. Fake chicken. We left the fish. Run as fast as you can. Don't do it!

Sorry to say, This was Pretty Bad... Start to finish. I realize they are out in the middle of nowhere. But food was AWFUL., service (she was new so I'll excuse that), but all of us that went there were pretty disappointed. read more

Very bad food. You must try very hard to find the cheapest food available, order it for your restaurant, and then serve it with a straight face. Everyone within 20 feet of our table had the same experience, you could see the disgust on faces and comments like "it is what it is"...no, it's not, eat at the Golden Block Brewery! You will thank me! read more

What am I doing in Silverton? I sort of wonder the same thing when I got here. Train ride. What can I say. The place is retaining its charm and appeal from 1912. Actually, it is pretty nice with that old kitsch from the ages. Service was fast, I'll give them that. There was a couple in front of us, when we told the host we were three, boom, in we went. The tables have menus as the table cloth so that made it quick. Service is fast and efficient. The food it self was decent and okay. Could be what I ordered. read more

Natalia's 1912 Restaurant - Cajun Shrimp Pasta - New American Near Me - Silverton, Colorado

Do not order the roast grisly beef. If I could give it a zero star that is to high. On the plus side the fries were edible.

We were heading from Grand Junction to Durango and stopped in the picturesque town of Silverton. I had reviewed the menus of several restaurants and this one seemed to have the most varied menu, so we decided to stop. The atmosphere was nice and the server was very friendly, but that's where the pros stopped. My companion ordered the Old Fashioned Hot Beef Sandwich. It was two huge sliced of bread, filled with a tiny portion of roast beef and smothered in brown gravy. Needless to say, she was unimpressed. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak. It was clearly a frozen patty that was thrown into the deep fryer, covered with powdered gravy mix and alongside packaged mashed potatoes. I can imagine this restaurant survives due to unsuspecting tourists. It's a shame because I love supporting local, non-chain restaurants. read more

The place was clean, the staff was friendly and we were seated right away even though there were a lot of people there. I ordered the linguine with marinara sauce. My only complaint was there wasn't enough sauce. The flavor was good, lots of tomatoes and onions but just not enough of it. It's not a dish I'd order again. read more

No no no. It's the closest place to the train depot. But I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with grilled onions and grilled tomatoes. None of the items (cheese, onions, tomatoes) were enough to cover half a sandwich. Only the cold French fries had a semblance of decency. Too bad - they know nobody will return, so wtf! read more

we were immediately sat, no wait, which was fantastic since we were starving lol. i had a mushroom swiss elk burger and it was very delicious. others are complaining about the prices but since Silverton relies on tourists, it's not a surprise to me to be paying $20 for a $12 burger. doesn't matter to me because it tasted amazing!! decor needs updating & tables have plastic table cloths (cringe) but overall good service, good food, no problems :) read more

I have a second home in Silverton, so I visit multiple times a year for weeks at a time. When I'm NOT in town, I get mouth-watering CRAAAVINGS for Natalia's Philly chicken sandwich! It's a very simple dish, but the bread is always fresh, the chicken is tender and juicy with no gristle. Add melty cheese and seasoned, sautéed veggies. *Sluuurp* Is the service slow? Yeah, sometimes. But as a "local" whose schedule is not dictated by the train timetable, I don't really care if I have to wait a bit (within reason, of course). A few summers in a row, Natalia's has hired back the same servers who are non-native English speakers. I always show patience when they're taking my order, and I let the servers know they can help the tourists first since they're the ones on a more rigid time schedule. Listen, Silverton is BEAUTIFUL, but it's frickin' remote and "small towny" as hell. It's not an easy place for ANYONE to live, much less someone who isn't born-and-bred American. What an incredible opportunity it is for Natalia's servers to get to know this magnificent place WHILE working a service industry job (sometimes more than one!) and BRAVELY immersing themselves in not only a new language, but in what is surely a crazy culture shock. read more

Natalia's 1912 Restaurant - I get serious craaavings for Natalia's Philly chicken sandwich! - New American Near Me - Silverton, Colorado

I got the elk burger and it was ok but not great. Definitely not worth $20. My wife got the French dip and it was definitely not worth the price. Very small and hardly any meat on it. Service was good but for almost $60 we expected a lot more. read more

Great little place for lunch. One of the best all beef kraut dogs I've had in years. Service was great, both fast and friendly. Other great sandwich choices here as well; burgers too. Oh, and do try the German bread pudding, not too sweet, but very good indeed. read more

Expensive for very mediocre food. I had the trout fish and chips. The trout was not very fresh. I asked for tartar sauce and got packets of mayonnaise instead. My husband said his ham and cheese melt was just okay. We both had iced tea and our bill was $46. Our waiter was very good, very attentive. The place is always clean. We have been there before and on our previous visit, the food was very good. Unfortunately, I think they have resorted to slinging out food very fast to serve the people coming off the train and their quality has suffered. read more

One of the local stores recommended this for lunch we had three buffets and just a salad bar! The food was not very good. The salad bar was OK! The service was mediocre. I would not recommend! read more

When can we leave 0 stars, Yelp? It doesn't get any worse than this. Terrible food, and thankfully extra small portions for an extra inflated price. Coffee burnt and Iced Tea like water. How do you screw up even these basic drinks? Go ANYWHERE but here. read more

Date of visit was 09/03/22. Nice looking place in historic Silverton. Ambiance is typical old west. Very relaxing. Unfortunately, our food was not that good. We shared a burger and fries. Menu states burger is 1/2 pound cooked medium. NOT! Pattie was 1/3 of a pound, overcooked! Fries were from freezer to fryer. Yuck! Beers were the best things we had. Yikes! read more

I only went here because they had a cool outdoor seating area. When asked if we wanted to sit in or outside, I said outside. We were then immediately taken to an indoor spot...which is completely different than the outdoor zone where a guy was playing music. My wife said something and they just said there was no outdoor seating, even though she'd just offered. So whatever, we'll eat in what amounts to my grandma's decor stuffed between tables spaced so closely together my young kids were squeezing it in to get through. Elk burger was so burnt, and I wasn't even offered a choice of how to cook it. My one kid orders chicken fingers and fries, they bring him mashed potatoes covered in...gravy? Could have been jello? Servers were super abrupt and not attentive at all, and despite discussing how I wanted my Bloody Mary for like 7 minutes, he still got it wrong. For some reason he didn't know what salt was. Anyway, lame atmosphere, poor service and pricey, gross food. read more

Just dont. As bad as it gets. Two crappy eggs, three spoonfuls of the worst hash browns I have ever eaten, two skinny 5 inch pieces of overcooked bacon and one piece of toast. 14 dollars. BAD. read more

My first time to Silverton and was looking for a spot to have lunch. My boyfriend and I were very hungry and looking forward to a nice meal. It seemed timeless and authentic with an extensive menu. The carpeted floors and disregarding employees started the experience off. Hoping the food would make up for it, the pricey menu options left us feeling like it must be good. My boyfriend ordered the French Dip and I ordered the Fish and Chips. When our food arrived, the meals were served on plastic plates. The French Dip was cold and stringy-like a wet baseball glove. Not worthy of the title to say the least. The Fish and Chips consisted of cardboard-esque pieces of fish with no flavor and sub-par French fries. The quality of food combined with the gross carpets/existing food particles left from the patrons before us and absentminded employees left us feeling extremely disappointed and stunned by the low quality food and overall experience. We only took a few bites and felt disgusted. With no option to complain, given the lack of attention, we could have easily walked out. Instead, we paid, vowed to never return, and went to another establishment. I'm not one to leave a review such as this but I'm shocked this place is still in business. read more

The main reason for my 3 star is that the food is just okay. Nothing outstanding, ordinary diner type food. If I lived here I would never crave it. However, the food was quick and they accommodated our party of 15 immediately. They do have a salad and sides bar and seem to cater to the train traffic. It's close to the station which is east. They have bathrooms that are clean and the staff is friendly. They had a baby care station in the bathroom. read more

Food was very sub-par. Don't even try the roast beef sandwich. Service was good and quick, all super nice folks. Ambiance was super neat with the old early 1900s feel. The food just knocks it down big time. read more

Unhappy with the food, especially at the price point. Tried to order the Taco Salad, but they had no ground beef. When asked if the chicken was seasoned, the waiter hesitated for a bit and said, 'It's plain chicken, sliced.' I decided to order the Pesto Chicken sandwich. Hubs got a burger. When the food came out, Hubs fries were warm...mine were cold/room temperature. I asked for hot fries, which the waiter attained quickly. Unfortunately, the hot fries were not good either. My sandwich was mostly bread and the chicken was pretty dry. Hubs liked his burger fine, but he also did not eat his fries. Cost was much too high for the food we received. I should have read the reviews. Lesson learned. read more

Service was fast and good. Food taste great. I asked for specific change in my order and they were very friendly to do it. read more

Came since the patio was dog friendly. I wouldn't feed my dog the food. Waitress said they only have beer and wine. Found out it was a full bar ordered 3 shots for the table. All three shots came in one glass. Waited 45 mins to close out the check. DONT GO TO THIS PLACE. read more

Chicken fettuccini was tasteless, (definitely no care or effort went into making it). It was supposed to come with garlic bread (the bread ended up being the soggy, lightly toasted top 1/2 of a hotdog bun). For the price, they should at least also givthe bottom 1/2 of the hot dog bun also! read more

My husband had trout and I had a patty melt. We both had delicious margaritas. We sat out on the beautiful patio with our dog. The food and the ambience were outstanding! Our waitress, Sofia, was a friendly young lady from Columbia. We had a great chat with her. I would highly recommend Natalia's 1912 restaurant! read more

After taking the train to Silverton we decided to eat a bite at Natalia's and I am glad we did. My wife and I got the soup and sandwich and shared since we were not super hungry. The sandwich was tasty and the chili was excellent. We felt the produce was fair and the service was excellent and very fast as we had to get back in time for the train. We feel very good about our experience and if ever in the area will stop here again. read more

We took a chance in this place and it worked out very well! Husband had chicken fried steak and said it was pretty good, I had chili rellenos and they were great! The service was fast and friendly! Wouldn't hesitate to eat here again. read more

We only had an hour in Silverton before taking the train to Durango, and I'm glad we found this place after trying 3 other restaurants. Right near the train tracks, we were seated immediately. The place was busy but not loud or overcrowded. Our server was friendly and attentive. I'm pretty sure the margarita was tequila and lemonade, but it tasted good nonetheless! Very enjoyable, I'll go back if I'm ever in the area. read more

We came to Silverton via the train ride. We arrived and only had to wait about 5 minutes for a table for 6. They were very busy !!! Our server was at our table with water. He was patient as we took a few minutes to order. The food was soon at our table , maybe a 15 minute wait. Everyone was pleased with their food. Soup and sandwich was a most generous serving of both. Chicken/rice soup was delicious. The bill was reasonable service was excellent !!!! Highly recommend to anyone. read more

We rode the bus up and had lunch here while we waited for the train. We ordered the salad bar only which cost $10. The salad bar had the usual greens and fixings (beets, mushrooms, onions, etc. with 4 dressings) plus three-bean salad, pasta salad, and potato salad. Everything tasted fine though my husband said that it felt like a salad bar out of the 1980s. Service was friendly. read more

Natalia's 1912 Restaurant - New American Near Me - Silverton, Colorado

This restaurant should have a "self serve" sign on the front door. Worst experience ever. The menu and website say full bar. Our server said only beer and wine were available. We walked inside to order a shot from the bar (willing to pay two separate tabs) which shouldn't be hard. The servers behind the bar acted clueless as to what to do. I understand it's an old western restaurant but the staff should be trained on what to do on busy days. Maybe consider running two registers. It was all a complete mess. Never again. read more

Food was disgusting. Two meals had to be sent back, completely inedible. Wish we had checked the reviews before going.

Delicious! A "must-go" place. My family of 5 got the buffet and enjoyed every bit of its variety. It's been two days since we were at the restaurant and I can still say they served me the best Chicken Philly I've ever had! I can't wait to return! read more

When you go to Silverton, just zoom right by this place. We went in because it looked cute. It was all downhill from there. I ordered a chicken parm sandwich. I asked if the sauce was good and the waiter commented it was made in house. When it came, first there was no parm, second, the roll was so burned that I had no choice but to only eat the meat. Even when I showed the waiter the bun, he just shrugged and said oh. The sauce may be house made but they need to learn how to use some spices like basil, oregano etc. My son and my husband both got the chicken fried steak. They said it was decent, but it pounded so paper thin it was maybe 4 oz of meat. We had a total of 4 meals which cost $97.00. Don't waste your money. There are other much better options in Silverton. read more
