The Silos Restaurant & Saloon at twilight The Silos is located on NC Hwy. 55 just a couple hundred yards outside the Oriental town limits.
It always draws a large crowd on Thursdays for $1.00 pint draft beer specials... including Yeungling, my preference.
Complementary peanuts are a signature of the place, though the new owners/management (who came in last year) introduced the revolutionary concept of sweeping up the peanut shells off the floor every few days or so... prior owners did not, and peanut shells formed dunes and drifts wherever people did not walk... Some customers, including myself, favor the old leave-em-on-the-floor approach.
From what I understand, these were actual silos on the property, converted into a bar/restaurant by the previous owners... Currently, only the left-hand silo is open for business.

That's a cool use for old silos! And Wow! at the special price too. I don't quite know whether to laugh or cringe at the peanut shells though ;D
The silos were moved there by the previous owner/visionary. The right side is open now after renovation for fine dining at night and wonderful breakfast offerings - blueberry pancakes, french toast, awesome homefries eggs - generous and very reasonable!
