The Silvertron Café is a casual neighborhood restaurant located at 3813 Clairmont Avenue in Forest Park since 1986. The name refers to a television repair shop that was previously located in the building, which is currently owned by Chris Boehm, a former partner in the restaurant. Silvertron briefly had a second location on Rocky Ridge Road in Vestavia Hills.

On the morning of March 22, 2006 the owner, Alan Potts, was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in the café's kitchen. The Jefferson County Coroner has classified the manner of death as "pending investigation".

In July 2006 Silvertron's equipment was purchased by a group of investors which include Richard Cheaney and John Otey Hutchinson, owner of Otey's Tavern in Mountain Brook. The new owners re-opened the restaurant on August 29, 2006.
