Amazing! Food was delicious, and great portions 10/10 recommended. My husband and I had the Country Fried Steak and Biscuits and Gravy. For Drinks we had the Hot Spider Monkey and Iced Crazy Chimp. Drinks were perfect too. I believe Cesar was taking care of us and he was really attentive and gave good options and recommendations. The place was super cute, husband and I were having a brunch date and it's very family friendly. Even though it's far from our place but we will be coming back for sure! read more

We tried Silverback Breakfast & cafe for the first time today. We've lived in Vista for a long time and were never aware of this literal "whole in the wall" breakfast joint!!! It is a hidden gem - believe me! The location is interesting; located in a small/quiet shopping center next the VUSD and residential area. But, don't let this deter you or fool you, the ambiance in the restaurant is great! It's well kept, up to date and the servers are fast, friendly and very helpful. We waited approx., 34 minutes for a table and were notified via text when we were ready to be seated; which was nice since there's no waiting room inside - we sat in our car and just relaxed. Once we were inside we were greeted by our server promptly and were given an approval amount of time to look through the menu before he came back to take our order. I had the Silverback French Toast and fried chicken; the portion was large! It was 2 slices of French toast (cinnamon roll cut to slices - yum) three slices were larger than your average bread slice. I got 4 pieces of fried chicken (leg, thigh, wings and breast)! I only finished one slice of toast as it was very filling and the wing - it looked so crispy and delicious...it was! It was fried perfectly, cooked through had good flavor and a nice crispy skin. I only gave the restaurant a 4 because of the seating arrangement, it was 2 of us and we were seated right in the middle of the restaurant in very close proximity to another 2 couple's table - it was a little too close for comfort and that's the only thing I didn't like. Everything else 5/5!! Will definitely be going there for breakfast again. It's our new breakfast spot! read more

Great place for breakfast!! We come here often and it's always delicious. The wait staff is always so nice.

This place is great and I will keep coming back. Staff is very friendly and the food is great.

Food was big portion, affordable, service perfectly timed. Worth the wait, gets busy around breakfast lunch, we just walked around bought snacks at theliquor store around the corner. 45-1houts wait, but after lunch no wait. Sat at the bar. read more

The servers and staff are friendly and so kind. The food is amazing. Had the California Omelette. I would highly recommend.

Me and the parents go there every now and then. We love it. Food always taste good, good portions. Thy are so patient with my parents since they are older, and need a bit of assistance. The restaurant is not loud so it's nice that we can enjoy our food and be able to talk to each other and not yell to be heard in the same table lol. Really like it read more

Recently, I was headed out for a work day on the road and wanted an egg white breakfast burrito. Found Silverback on Yelp and gave them a call. I apologize now, I failed to capture names, but I will when go for a sit-down meal. The gentleman on the phone was on point and got my order in quickly. Said it would be ready in about 15 minutes, and it was! When I walked in, the hostess greeted me warmly and asked how she could help me. She immediately walked back to bring my burrito out. The dining area is very nicely appointed with ample seating in a spacious room. While I am a basic black coffee guy, I was impressed by the very nice coffee bar. In closing, Silverback is a Vista gem and definitely worth trying. Great experience with great staff. Maybe I will see you there! read more

The breakfast food selection was excellent and everything was delicious! The service was truly amazing! The entire staff was ready to assist and answer any questions you might have.

Best Breakfast spot in Vista hands down! The wait is worth it. (It gets busy on the weekends). The wife and I have been there 3 times and we have yet to have one issue with the great food and the great service. read more

So glad we found this little gem. It is a haven for coffee drinkers with latte flights and they will even give you a portable to go cup at the end of your meal. I had chicken fried steak. Crispy and great seasonings. Eggs cooked as ordered and the best hash browns ever. Buttery crisp on the outside, creamy soft inside. My daughter had the veggie omelet, filled to the top with veggies and topped with more. Her BF had biscuits and gravy. The home fries were nicely roasted and consistent in cuts. He also stated his gravy/sausage was well seasoned with hints of fennel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Noisy interior but worth it! read more

The food was great and the service was AMAZING. Conor was such a wonderful server. He made my experience so delightful and was always on top of the needs of the table. I can't say anything negative about him or the vibes of the restaurant. read more

Clean, good staff, welcoming environment with cute decor, and my husband said the chicken fried steak was the best he ever had. I unfortunately was dehydrated and had a bad headache so I pulled mostly from my husband's experience for this review. read more

Delicious food, excellent service, pleasant atmosphere, and close to home. We're becoming regulars.

My family and I LOVE Silverback Cafe. The staff is personable and super welcoming, the food is amazing and they have great coffee/ lattes! A special shout out to Morgan, she always makes sure you are taken care of and goes above and beyond. She remembers what my kids order and always makes sure they are taken care of! Highly recommend! May I add that the i recently learned they are a family owned and operated business that just solidifies the welcoming environment. Our waiter actually gave my kids a sneak peek into the kitchen. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 1000% times over! read more

Great delicious food First time going to this place and we will be back. Good service.happy place and great atmosphere .

Food and Service was Amazing. My husband and I were in the area and came across this breakfast/brunch place, but we will be coming back to try more stuff on their menu. The Inside is really nice too. Good for a brunch date or family breakfast. I believe Cesar was taking care of us and he was really helpful and attentive. Definitely recommend. Lattes are amazing too!

I came here for the first with my sister yesterday to have a late breakfast & catch up and we loved it. The food was yummy. My sister ordered the Eggs Benedict and I ordered the 2 eggs breakfast. The service was amazing. I was seated right away. Everyone was nice and attentive. The ambiance was comforting. We really appreciated them for allowing us to stay way over the closing time. We didn't realize they closed at 1pm and we arrived around 12:40pm and allowed us to continue chitchatting until 2pm. lol We were so embarrassed, but thought it was super nice of them to let us stay without even knowing. So a huge thank you! read more

Tried this local breakfast place for the first time today, Sunday about 10:30AM. It's in a bit of a hidden location but plenty of parking. The servers were friendly and the ambience and clean and open. The food tasted fresh, portions were large, price was very reasonable, and service was fast as well. We ordered the following and shared between two adults and two kids (6 & 3 year old). This will probably be our new go-to breakfast place. Country fried steak with eggs & hash brown. French toast with two sides (fruits and bacon) Kids portion of chicken tenders & fries. Hot chocolate for the kiddos. read more

If you love pancakes, this is a must!! Great food all around, always hot and fresh! The service is excellent as well.

WoW! If I had only two takeaways to complain about, it would be (1) not serving the tea water carafe at a temperature enough to properly steep only one bag of the potpourri of teas served to the table. Two of the servers had become knowledgeable about the water situation, yet both servers failed to ensure that wasn't the case on the second attempt . . . nope, still not hot enough, but we were too lazy to complain a second time. And (2), the men's bath still has a manual paper towel dispenser. I'm sorry that is, if you haven't quite got up to the protocols of hygiene since the world scare of COVID, then I really have an issue with this whole "CritDicks" thing. I've obviously become too uptight. The place is clean and decorated nicely inside with plenty of extra room for several more tables. I am yet to really understand the name Silverback and the continued use of the prominently displayed Gorilla logo. Really great flavors. The wife and I give their house potatoes the coveted, "best ever tasted". Crunchy texture of fresh herbs and spices delightfully coated on properly cooked potatoes. These potatoes were really standoutish this morning. The regular Eggs Benedict displayed two hot and perfectly poached eggs atop some very tasty hams slices and a stellar, flavorful and shimmery Hollandaise sauce. I could actually see (the light caught it just right) the clarified buttery molecules in the emulsion. Smooth, light and flavorful. The House Hash (house-made corned beef) was really tasty and of excellent texture that compares with the best served from all American cafes. This plate came with a choice of toast, and I selected the Sourdough . . . good stuff too. Silverback looks to be a great place to bring some visiting family or solid recommendation for friends in the area. Nice, clean, terrific flavors, portion sizes and very attentive staff. Silverback is at the far back end of a strip mall off the main drag of Vista Way in a not-so prime area of Vista . . . not much is . . . it is Vista after all. Relax, my kids went to school here in Vista. We will be back. There is plenty on the breakfast menu to keep us amused for some time. Do try the house potatoes., Dicks read more

The food was really good, we ordered the chorizo burrito with avocado, egg and potato with avocado and the silverback French toast. We didn't know what to expect but the food exceeded our expectations. All the food was huge and really delicious. Our server, Valerie, was really nice and really friendly. As well as everyone in the front, always making sure we were good. The place is small and it was full when we came in, however there was an open spot and it was really nice ambiance. Also the gorilla theme was really funny! read more

After years and years of using Yelp, this is my first review on Yelp. Ever!!! Never passionate enough about a business to give my input. Driving in, I was a bit skeptical, but that feeling changed as I entered the restaurant. Great ambience. Clean and well organized. Great food. Prices inline with this economy and appreciate the healthy portions. Fantastic service. The entire staff was attentive and our server was awesome with our special needs Son. **** Best Hash Benedict's ever! Pancakes, Chicken Fried Steak and sides were equally as good. This will be our family's new favorite breakfast spot. read more

we stopped in around 12:30 on a Tuesday and we were quickly seated. I was a little apprehensive about going here seeing the state of the building but inside is nothing like the outside. It's pretty dang roomy in there! I got one of their signature coffees, "the dirty monkey" i believe. SO GOOD. The two egg breakfast was very reasonably priced the home fries were cooked amazingly. the eggs seem like they were bought from a farm rather than a grocery store because they were better than most breakfast places. Wish it was closer to home. I would come here all the time. read more

Small place but they will get you in and seated in no time. There is also bar seating if looking to get in and out quick. Food great. Coffee great. Great diner. read more

Met a friend for breakfast here after reading great reviews. Place was somewhat busy but was seated quickly. Nice menu to choose from. Our orders came out fairly quickly and food was good. Our only complaint was the time we wanted the check...took a while. read more

Customer service was awesome but the food was ok ‍ the inside was great! It was correctly air conditioned due to the heat outside.

We sat at the bar, (by choice) at a slightly empty place, though there were still several parties there. We were greeted and seated immediately, given water and menus almost at the same time. Looking around the place is very clean, and the entire staff seem to be very friendly. We ordered two chicken fried steak dishes, a coffee, and a chai latte. The drinks came out very quickly, and the meals practically flew out. The portion sizes are enormous, and the food is fantastic. The breakfast potatoes have fantastic herb flavor, and the gravy was on point. My latte was super creamy, and very well made, by a barista who took her time with my drink, and her attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Our waitress, had to be watching us, with her fifth eye, since she seemed to appear out of know where if we even thought we might need something. All and all, I will absolutely return here. read more

First time here and it was delicious! I got the House Hash and a side of the cinnamon roll French toast. The ambiance is chill, a cozy spot. The only thing I would say is that I waited about 45min to be seated and it didn't seem to be busy bc there were table available they just weren't filling them up. Otherwise a great experience with service and food. read more
