Silver Heights Family owned since 1957 The Silver Heights Restaurant opened its doors at 2169 Portage Avenue in June, 1957. Former cabbie Anthony Siwicki Sr.
(1)

had no idea it would still be going strong today! His operating philosophy was simple: “Provide your guests with quick and friendly service, and to serve fresh, delicious quality food at a reasonable price”….and to keep it that way. The restaurant is now in its third generation going forward. Silver Heights Restaurant was slowly transformed form a coffee shop into a lounge and dining room and bar. The adjoining hardware store on the East side became the dining room. In 1964 Tony bought out his three partners and with his three sons Jim, Dave and Allan have grown the business. Jim and his wife Maureen helped grow the business into what it is today. Now their two sons Tony and JC operate the restaurant. They have turned it into one of the most popular eateries in the city, and the lounge into a classic neighborhood bar.

“Everyone knows each other here” said Jimmy, and that makes for a great congenial atmosphere.

“The best deserve the best, and that is why we only buy and serve the best”, said Tony when talking about his cooking. “We’re known for our barbecued baby back ribs – their tenderness, taste and the way they fall off the bone.” We serve only Certified Angus Beef for all our beef and we only buy fresh ingredients. Everything is homemade! Be well, live well, and eat well are just a few of their secrets to success, because life is all about having a good time. So tonight, whether you’re in our dining room or lounge, please enjoy your evening and thank you for creating memories with us.

Not really what I meant...

In 2027, Silver Heights will turn 70. ❤️

What started with Tony’s grandparents and a few friends became a family legacy none of them could have predicted.

Tony and his brother grew up in the restaurant, learning every part of the business and eventually becoming the team keeping it moving forward.

Nearly 70 years later, they’re still here and they’re not done yet.

The rest of the year is for the bars! 🍻

This place has never been just a restaurant.

It’s where generations of families have celebrated, where staff have stayed for years, and where Tony, his brother and even his dad met their wives.

The people of St. James, Silver Heights and Deer Lodge have kept this place going for generations.

Apparently, we’re also a dating site now. 😂

We’re incredibly grateful for every person who has walked through our doors, shared a meal with us, and supported Silver Heights over the years.

Thank you for being part of our story. ❤️

Come hungry. Leave happy. 😋

From the first bite to the last, there’s a reason these dishes keep people coming back.

10/18/2026

When COVID hit, we honestly didn’t know if Silver Heights would make it through.

Then St. James showed us just how much this place meant to them. ❤️

People came for curbside pickup, stocked their freezers with food, ordered meat packages and kept the cars lined up outside.

They weren’t just supporting a restaurant. They were helping keep a piece of their community alive.

Almost 70 years later, the location hasn’t changed. The community around it has kept growing. ❤️

When Tony’s grandfather and his buddies chose this spot, they had no idea how much St. James would become part of the Silver Heights story.

From ball teams and hockey teams to schools, hospitals, local businesses and families meeting up before the big game this has always been a neighbourhood restaurant.

And there’s a reason it’s still here.
