In 2014, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission temporarily suspended the  business' liquor license. In response, Silver Dollar posted a sign on the door which said, "The OLCC has ludicrously decided to punish us ... because we allowed a minor to work in our kitchen."

In 2021, one person was killed and two more were injured after a shooting at the restaurant. The business is affiliated with nearby Underdog Sportsbar. Reception.
