Silver Sycamore

These burgers really are amazing! I saw a billboard that said best burgers in town, and it was really true! Silver Sycamore is open for only lunch M-​F… can’t wait for it to be open for dinner and on weekends too!

My stepdad has ALS; as a result his hands don’t work and he can barely eat. He’s very self conscious, so taking my parents out to dine someplace special for Mother’s Day was out of the question. However, we still wanted to do something to surprise my mom and make the day great for both of them. A few days before Mother’s Day, I saw that Silver Sycamore was having a Mother’s Day brunch and decided to find out if we could pick up meals to go instead of dining in. I explained our situation and they said that was not a problem. On Mother’s Day, my husband, daughter, and I went there and got to go through the buffet to put together a to go meal for each of us and my parents. When we got to my parents house and began to plate everyone’s meals, my mom was SO surprised and happy. The food looked wonderful and tasted amazing– even after heating it up in the microwave. My parents said they felt like they were dining from a 5-​star restaurant. It felt so good to surprise them in this way, and Mother’s Day was wonderful for all of us! I have eaten at the Silver Sycamore restaurant several times and the food is excellent; they certainly didn’t disappoint for the Mother’s Day brunch buffet! When I saw that others have left less than stellar reviews for this very same day, I could hardly believe it and had to post our experience because it was nothing but great. I highly recommend you visit Silver Sycamore for yourself to find out just how unique and special it really is!

After seeing this venue online while looking for a wedding venue, we decided to try out their mothers day brunch. We had a reservation at 10 am. Upon arrival, we were told they weren’t quite ready and we would need to wait a few minutes (NBD) Once we are actually seated, all of the employees are walking around frantically and there are about 5 tables in the whole place at this point, none of who have any drinks or have been offered any service. We asked for a high chair and they brought us one which was broken. Alerted them it wasn’t in good repair, they said «both of them are that way» SO now my 17 month old son cannot safely sit in his chair– We have to literally tie him in to the hight chair. Mind you at this point, we still have yet to get a drink so my Mother in Law goes and gets her own coffee. At this point someone finally comes to offer us a beverage. About 15 minutes after arriving they shout to the whole doing room that the buffet is open. WHAT A JOKE– the choices were minimal at best, some of the chafing dishes weren’t even full and EVERYTHING was warm at best. The «home made» pastries selection (LOL) — still cold inside. The food was less than stellar. And with 5 servers and 5 tables we were still unable to have our plates removed from the table, as we were pretty much disgusted at this point, we asked for our bill– not one but THREE times before it arrived. As we’re sitting there we see the staff actually preparing the buffet correctly for the next seating. Our total for 5 people was $ 200!!! Not including gratuity. So naturally Im heated, I wait a day and I call to speak with someone. I leave a message because she is «in a meeting». I get no return call. I call again the next morning and the girl answering the phone I ask her did she work Sunday and she says yes and admits they were behind– SO Finally the owner calls me back. I recant her with the above story and her response is; an apology, 2 FREE LUNCHES (no thanks) and she has the nerve to tell me, Ive been doing this for 10 years and NEVER HAD ONE COMPLAINT. I want my money back. Im furious. Perhaps the worst dining experience of my life and knowing I could’ve gone in town and for $ 10 more per person had a wonderful extravagant brunch really makes me even more mad. Surely it goes with out saying, these incompetent people can’t handle a brunch there is NO WAY I’m having one of the most important events of my life there. Don’t waste your time.

This place is so cute! I came here for lunch with my boyfriend on a sunny spring day. I absolutely love the country charm and the surrounding gardens and «old west» feel of the place. I think this would be an awesome venue to host a party or wedding. The menu at the tea room was mainly sandwiches and hamburgers, nothing too fancy. It’s a good lunch spot. Our waitress was super nice and attentive. The peach tea was great! They just opened a saloon in the old town square section that they call Sycamorville that I can’t wait to come back and check out. I’ll be back y’all!

I was very disappointed in this place. The food was not bad at all but the service is what ruined it for me. I got the burger with caramelized onions and mushrooms. It was actually very tasty but the waitress kept trying to take our plate before we were finished. We had mimosas to drink and she kept trying to take those as well. It was very awkward. When the check came she was just hovering while we were still trying to finish and figure out how we where splitting the check. I asked her for some space and a little time and she said «Okay, I’ll just stay right here and play with your baby.» WTF? Then you only had 15%-25% tip option. I’ve never seen anything like it. Altogether a very awkward lunch.

I came here with five lovely ladies for lunch. I got the soup and salad. The salad was a nice mix of lettuces, onion, and mandarin oranges with a light citrus viniagrette. The soup was a clearly homemade lentil and sausage. It had a rich broth spiked with thyme, and it was just right for an autumn afternoon. The ladies all got burgers and fries. They reported that the fries were dangerously good, and the burgers were quite popular as well. We had a very nice server, and we will be back again! Thanks for a great experience.

I’ve been meaning to write this review for awhile. In December 2014, I booked a wedding with the promise the cute country town that was under construction would be ready WAY before our September 2015 wedding date. When I called to check back in during March, the original lady who booked our wedding had left and the new person without any care or concern informed me the town would not be ready until easily January of 2016. The owner contacted me and confirmed this was the case and did not offer me a partial refund or the bigger building onsite that would accomodate my wedding size without me paying an add’l fee. I can understand there were major delays due to the high volume of rain we had this year, but the lack of care or consideration to help your customers is disheartening. My only choice was to have my wedding in their small tea room, which was way to small. I immediately cancelled my wedding. Silver Sycamore preyed on brides by wooing them with a country themed wedding venue and couldn’t deliver on their promise. Lesson learned is do not book a venue unless the venue exists.

So happy to have found this quaint hidden place ! So perfect for brunch or coffee! Awesome to have around town and not have to travel to downtown to enjoy a cute brunch on the weekends!!! Definitely one of their biggest fans!

Tried this place for the first time today after reading their claim to «The best burger in town». I didn’t notice the Lipton onion soup mix taste that one reviewer wrote. I did notice it was one damn good hamburger and fries. Hand formed patty not frozen, and if it did have soup mix in it so what, I liked it, a lot. Fresh sour dough bun with all the fixins. What’s not to like? My favorite has always been Tookies but these guys may have just knocked them down to second. I’ll know more after a few more burgers. As for the service, it was great. If I did have to put up with a little bad service once in a while it would be worth it to me. Whip me, beat me, make me write hot checks, just give me that burger and fries again. I agree that it’s definitely the best in the Pasadena or Deer Park area.

Beautiful, quiet and affordable

I hosted my daughter’s bridal shower at the Silver Sycamore Tearoom. The place is adorable and it was the ambiance I was looking for. The food was just fine, except that we did not get the muffins that I was told we would while waiting for the main dish. When asked about this, I was told by one of the waiters, they did not have any for us. But my main disappointment is this. I was briefly greeted by the «owner’ once. I saw her again in her office when I had a question. Never again did she come and ask how it was going or if we needed anything, not even at the end of the event. We were there for three hours. She is not friendly and the first time I meant her she did not make a good impression on me either, but I thought she was having a bad day. I wish her all the best with her tearoom. She should just try to be a little more cordial or perhaps hire someone who can. Also serve what she says she’s going to serve and getting paid for it.
