Taste-Tested by Staff: The Best Bites at Silverwood Theme Park

September 22, 2025.Hannah Malsam & Wendy Heaton.0 Likes.0 Comments

It will come as no surprise that we are all about the food at Silverwood Theme Park. Frankly, we consider ourselves, if not experts in all things Silverwood dining, then certainly enthusiasts on the topic. And we love, love, love sharing our food recommendations with our audience!

Craving a burger and fries? Lindy’s has you covered. Looking for a vegan option that’s not a salad? Grab a hummus wrap from the High Moon Saloon. Looking for the viral Sweet & Salty food shack? We’ll point you in the right direction.

(Oh, and speaking of Sweet & Salty, sweet treats at Silverwood and Boulder Beach are kind of our passion in life. You can read our top recommendations in this post). 

Confession time, though: we are major creatures of habit. When we find a favorite food or treat, we tend to stick to the same thing over and over.

 And over. 

So, we decided to hit the pavement in search of the BEST foods at Silverwood to switch things up a bit. And while we would love nothing more than to personally taste-test every single menu item in the park (DON’T TEMPT US), we thought an even better idea would be to interview the people who would know the food at Silverwood better than anyone-Silverwood staff!
