The Silver Caboose

This family-owned restaurant on the Collierville square is the kind of place where few things ever change - not the menu, the waitstaff, and only occasionally the pricing. And that's its charm; the Silver Caboose is a throw-down for those who want traditional Southern cooking in an elegant atmosphere; those looking for a meat and three plate or chicken, egg, or pimento cheese sandwiches will be in heaven. Next door, the Caboose's soda fountain is one of the last remaining - and one of the oldest - in Tennessee. It shares space with a dessert market, so popping in for a cold scoop of ice cream or a homemade pie or cake is always a must-do, whether or not a full meal is on the agenda.
