Rose’s Luxury Will Serve Lychee Salad at Merriweather’s Trippy Art Festival | Eater DC

"I learned that Silver Diner is opening a location in Elkridge, Md. on October 1; the 5,800-square-foot restaurant will have 238 seats including a full bar, serving cocktails, spiked shakes, and local wines and beers, and the retro-inspired spot will offer classic diner fare as well as vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free menu items." - Adele Chapin

One of my favorite diners in the area! I usually go here when I'm seeing a concert in Baltimore or at Merriweather Post Pavilion. The service is top notch. Clean restaurant. Attentive staff. The food is very good. I suggest also getting desert when you are dining here too. I recommend the bread pudding! So delicious!

We stopped at Silver Diner after a long day with the kids, expecting a typical roadside diner breakfast all day, greasy comfort food, and quick service. Instead, we walked into a full farm-to-table menu with dishes you’d expect from a high-end restaurant, not a chrome-trimmed diner off the highway. I ordered the Wagyu Chopped Steak, made with Snake River Farms wagyu, served over garlic spinach and roasted tomatoes with truffle-dill mashed potatoes, peas, mushrooms, and a horseradish demi-glace. Absolutely incredible rich, tender, and way beyond diner food. My wife had the Allen Farms Chicken Pot Pie, filled with roasted chicken, mushrooms, basil, peas, roasted squash and corn, scallions, tarragon, and topped with a flaky buttery crust. Easily one of the best pot pies we’ve ever had. And for dessert, the Banana Nutella Salted Caramel Shake was unreal creamy banana, warm Nutella, and ribbons of salted caramel. Worth the stop all by itself. If you’re traveling through Maryland, don’t let the “diner” sign fool you this place is a gem. Highly recommend.

Silver Diner Our group went for an impromptu lunch at the Silver Diner located in the Gateway Overlook shopping center in Elkridge. It’s one of our go to places especially for one of our members who is vegan and she can usually find something that fits her diet choice. New seasonal Blue Plate BUDGET-FRIENDLY specials are available Weekdays 11am – 4pm, Dine-in only. Two of us selected the Pastrami Reuben sandwich which came with a hill high portion of nice crispy bits of French fries that tasted freshly made. The only thing I wished for was that there be less stringiness to the pastrami. There was also the Shrimp Quesadilla and the vegan eater changed her diet and chose the Alaskan Cod and Chips. Everyone enjoyed their meal and our wait staff person was very nice. We went on a Thursday lunch hour which was not too busy with minimal waiting.

We were seated almost immediately in a very comfortable booth. We ordered mozzarella artichoke wontons, which came with marinara sauce and were very yummy. For lunch, we ordered crabcake melts on sourdough with french fries, coleslaw, and lobster au jus. The portions were very generous and tasted delicious! The only thing that might’ve been improved on would be if the appetizer and lunch portions came out at different times instead of at the same time. Had I known it was going to be like that, I probably would’ve skipped the appetizer. Highly recommend!

Paola was an outstanding server from start to finish. She greeted us warmly and made us feel welcome immediately. Throughout our meal, she was attentive, efficient, and handled everything with a friendly, professional demeanor. Our orders arrived promptly, and she checked in just the right amount—not intrusive, but always available when needed. Her positive attitude and excellent service truly enhanced our dining experience. I would gladly return and specifically request her service.

As a mental health relaxation day, I try to take off the first Friday of every month and go for breakfast just me..no kid or spouse. So today I’ve made my second venture into the Silver Diner over on Columbia Gateway Overlook off 108 and 175. This is the power breakfast minus cremini mushrooms. Toast 🤌 Turkey bacon 🤌🤌 Main dish 🤌🤌 Fruit cup 🤌 Definitely going to be one of my other go to’s now besides first watch for this health day. Cheers all and happy weekend!

I'm going to start by saying Martin is an excellent server who tries his hardest to make your visit enjoyable. The past two times we went to Silver Diner, we've had to send our food back and ultimately get our money refunded because it was so off. We ordered an omelette and they forgot the cheese only to have it returned with a cold slab of deli cheese on top. Yesterday, we ordered a cheesesteak that had so little meat it was a joke. A cheesesteak is supposed to have STEAK especially for $18, no? They were accommodating to redo our food but we had to wait another 20 minutes. By that time, all family had finished their meals. I really wanted to have a good diner in my area with consistent food, but unfortunately Silver Diner does not deliver. I will not be coming back and will try Ellicott City diner or Cafe EZ.

We stopped in for late breakfast on our way through the area. We've been to the Silver Diner in the airport and enjoyed our food, so thought this would be good too. Parking and restaurant are accessible, bathroom too. Spacious inside, lots of booths and tables that can accommodate large groups. We were seated right away and Keonnie was great! Keonnie came over immediately, introduced herself, and got our coffee, tea and water right away. She knew the menu and guided us in our choices, checking for accuracy, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was excellent. I had the power breakfast with whole eggs rather than the egg whites, and sourdough toast. The toasted tomato added so much flavor - delicious! And I love the Smucker's Natural jelly (no high fructose corn syrup). The fruit cup was fresh and not over-ripe. Hubby also enjoyed his breakfast (over easy eggs, etc). We would definitely stop back when in the area!

I was soooo hungry this afternoon and the food here really hit the spot. We were seated right away, though the restaurant was pretty full. We both enjoyed our fruity drinks and the food was very satisfying. I ordered the Bay Benedict. Yum!

It's been about a year since I've have brunch here and they completely changed many things for good reasons! First of all, 5 stars for Paola! She was AMAZING! She was quick, attentive and made our day with her kindness. (We'd love to sit in her section again!) The menus are refreshing and the booths as well. The atmosphere feels calmer and the food is still great. Again, this is an update and a shout out to Paola!

First time here and we wish we went here for brunch sooner! Everything was consistently good and we loved that. Servers were nice and attentive, all worked with a smile. Thought it would be a grimy or old chain diner but it looked pretty charming and all of the benches and menus seemed fairly new/redone. Food was great! I know breakfast is hard to mess up but gotta give them credit our protein pancakes and crab bennies were so good. And this was on a busy saturday morning with servers and people flying in and out of the aisles. I don't know how this place is rated lower than a 4 but you gotta go and try them out. Expansive menu that for sure will have your every craving. And why go to those national breakfast chains when Silver Diner exists and is competitively priced,

We had a bit of bumpy start as we waited a very long time (around 15mins) for someone to approach us after we sat down, but after we found someone the service was excellent throughout the meal. Christian was wonderful. The watermelon cucumber mint lemonade, non-alcoholic, is refreshing and sweet/tart. The bruschetta appetizer was DELICIOUS, I probably could've ordered two and made it a meal. The sunflower seeds were an interesting touch but it works. Bread is still soft after toasted, nice big portions. The fries looked so basic were almost just looked over them but they tasted amazing, lots of salt (which we like). The crab meat pasta was a special, and it was a huge portion with plenty of crab meat + pasta. Food was great, definitely nicer than your standard diner. Will be back.

I was pleasantly surprised at this place. I always see it on the way to my gym but I never paid much attention since it markets itself as a diner. It definitely looks like a diner when you go inside but it's clean & the menu has so many options. My fiancé & I got the protein pancakes & Bay Benedict which were both delicious. I'm curious what the other things on the menu taste like so I would definitely go back.

We've been to this Silver Diner plenty of times and during different times of the day, and the more we frequent it, the more we enjoy that it's becoming a go-to! Although at first, breakfast/brunch items were what I'd typically get (love the pancakes!) I've lately really enjoyed their appetizers and dinner meals. The burrata bruschetta is an absolute stand-out, their wings were good, and my latest meal, the tuna melt, was awesome, especially with a side of tomato bisque. Beyond the food, service is consistently good, friendly, and welcoming.

This is a pretty solid Silver Diner. Got the seasonal special Chipotle Salmon and Shrimp and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything was delicious. Don't sleep on the Guava Mint Ginger Ale! Glad they have a variety of non-alcoholic beverages for diners. Good service and friendly staff. I didn't get it this time but the Burrata Bruschetta is a must whenever you visit a Silver Diner.

First time here and certainly not the last! The food was great and I was surprised to see such a vast menu of options! We ordered the Bison and tortillas dish, the Crabcake melt with lobster dipping sauce, and the Waffles with eggs and turkey bacon side. Everything turned out amazing! Everything was so good, we decided to later order a kids meal (although we didn't have a kid at our table) of the turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy entree, for just because! That was yummy too! It came with a side of seasoned veggies (cauliflower, broccoli, snap peas, carrots) and ginger cranberry sauce. We washed it all down a $10 milkshake to share! I think the teenagers picked the chunky monkey flavor, they said it was too overpowering of bananas so you have been warned! They enjoyed it, but would not pick it again! All in all, it was a great time had by all! The restaurant was busy enough that we didn't feel lonely. The tables were clean and the vibe was fresh and good! Will definitely come again!

My friends eat breakfast here every week and love it. Yesterday we had a different experience. I would say my breakfast was one of the worst ever. I ordered a simple breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled, potatoes and ham. When it came the potatoes were cold (like not even cooked). The rest of the meal was not warm either. The manager ordered me a new batch of potatoes. They came after I was almost finished eating and they were also cold. I didn't eat them (and I love potatoes). A horrible experience.

Let me start by saying this review is for middle of the week during lunch time. Wow! I been here before on weekends and had a pleasent experience... 1. No Lunch Specials 2. Over Priced 3. Staff seemed uneased 4. Terrible presentation 5. Flavor was off. 6. Asked for check. Server no where to be found With all that said I could've gone to Jerry's and a better experience. Never Again for LUNCH

Just another, typical Silver Diner... the food was decent, the service was a mixed bag of friendliness and inconsistent attention. I ordered a side chili with my food, but it wasn't until I was nearly done with my entrée that I was informed that they were out of chili. Their crab cake was excellent and loaded with nice crab meat. The food the others in our group got looked pretty good as well and they enjoyed it. Overall, if they picked up their service and were more attentive and less distracted, this would be a much better restaurant.

No! So I've never heard of this place and my friend suggested we grab dinner. I decided to try the meatloaf as it was suggested as very good. I had about an inch slice of the loaf and no more. It says it's angus but in my heart of hearts I think there's pork mixed. Because I got very ill about 20min after eating it. The plate came as described and I was shocked at the flavor. Wasn't bad at all. But after my friend ate their plate they told me this was not normal SD quality and hopefully that's an issue they don't experience often but I've made up my mind. I threw the entire plate away due to distance. NOT FOR ME!

CHINIRA Was absolutely amazing, service was 10/10. Food was delicious- fresh and hot! Drinks were always topped off or fresh. Best device we've ever had, and we were a large party. Have been coming to this location for years- This is by far THE BEST silver dinner hands down.

Sadly, Silver Diner is now "off the list." While the food is generally good or very good quality, the value is too low for this to be a destination any longer. For my family of four, the total was $94. No appetizer for the table, no alcohol, no desserts. Two of us left hungry. There is nothing "deluxe" about their grilled cheese deluxe. It's strikingly small and comes with lukewarm thin fries. We didn't realize until after it was finished, that they never gave us the ginger-cranberry sauce that was supposed to come with it. My vegan smash burger was thin, as one would expect, but it was pretty insubstantial in size, and there was nothing impressive about the bun, the lack of slaw topping, or the disappointing size of lukewarm, tasteless fries. My son ordered an appetizer as a meal and added a side of fries to his order as well. Again, it was a cheapo portion. Think about how Five Guys impresses with their fries. Is Silver Diner intentionally trying to disappoint its diners? At decent prices, the serving sizes might be overlooked, but $18.99 for a pasta? At a diner? $12.49 for a small grilled cheese and a small amount of fries? $9.79 for a shake (though they at least give you extra in a metal mixing container)? At the time we ate - between lunch and dinner - there were only a handful of tables occupied, but still the service was lacking. It took too long for the shake to come out, well after the other drinks. The waitress, who was pleasant enough, only came around once to ask us how things were doing. I asked for a coke refill. Over 10 minutes later, she returned saying "I thought I brought this to you." then walked away without asking if we needed anything else. The next time we saw her, she was holding a credit card reader. Delightfully, the pay-at-the-table reader suggested tips of 20, 22, and 25 percent. I overrode the suggestions and left a reasonable amount based on the actual service quality. Sorry, but at nearly $100 ($25 a person), there are much better values out there.

We decided to drop by for dinner after a long day. Great choice. The new seasonal menu had amazing choices, so many that I couldn't decide. Our server Devi recommended the crab melt with lobster au jus and it did not disappoint. He was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean, quiet, and appropriately lit for dinner service. We'll definitely be back soon. Thanks Devi!

My son refered to today's breakfast at the Silver Diner as a "skill issue". Nothing was 'bad', but it appears that the kitchen is disorganized. Starting with the best parts, the ambience of the restaurant is fine. It is similar to the Silver diner in Rockville, which I have taken my family to many times. Personal service was also fine. The wait person was friendly, professional, and cheerful. Apparently it was her 50th birthday, and she treated everybody in our area like we were extensions of her family. I give her credit for making the best of some unfortunate errors. The food was problematic. The coffee arrived cool. Not hot, not lukewarm, but the temperature of tapwater. We placed our orders when the coffee came, and received our food relatively quickly. Unfortunately, parts of the order were incorrect. My basted eggs came out poached; my apple chicken sausages came out as bacon. When I questioned the eggs, I was told that this was how their chef made fried eggs. I didn't make an issue of it, assuming that the cook didn't know what 'basted' meant, and my son's food was fine. It turned out that several orders were mixed together. The waitperson checked, and eventually brought out additional fried eggs and sausage. They did warm up our coffee with a new pot, which was great. The orange juice that I had ordered as part of the meal never did arrive. The new order of eggs were slightly overcooked, with solid yokes. The potatoes were cooked, but were soft and flavorless. We ended up taking our food to go. As I mentioned, the service was noteworthy, and we may try the restaurant again, but on an afternoon or evening shift instead of the morning shift.

Got here for Happy Hour 4-6:30 and had a good local beer for $4. We got the crab cake and the cod entrees. Both were very tasty. The crab cakes had plenty of crab and are not your typical old bay favored crab cake. They had more of an herb flavor. The cod was very soft and flavorful but a tad bit salty. All of the sides were delicious and tasted fresh.

We love silver diner. The food is always excellent, and the service is great. It's an awesome option for vegetarians and kiddos. My daughter loves coming to Silver Diner. While she often gets the same thing (Belgian Waffel with Eggs and Bacon), they do offer a varied menu for kids. We love that the menu has several options for vegetarians. They even have vegan eggs and sausage! The restaurant is clean and open. It can get a bit noisy when it's really busy.

Always a good place to find food. This is not you typical greasy spoon diner. They have so many healthy options and also have choices for gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan diets. They also serve alcohol. Service is always great. Super friendly. Love the comfy booths and the overall style here.

My word is all I can say. Do not go to this Silver Dine EVER. The food was very dry as u can see by the pic. First SD I have been to where the manager didn't walk around to see how things were going. It wasn't even busy. OUr waiter was nice but food took a while to come out and it was dry. This is what happens when you travel out side of Silver Spring Md Silver Diner where the food is fresh and well seasoned and NOT dry. Very disappointed. Will never return to this location.

I'm so sad I don't have any Silver Diners near my house. Silver Diner was one of the first diners I've been to that have vegan options, which was a huge plus for my family and me! When we first sat down, we were distracted by the mini Jukebox system at the table. We all took turns choosing the songs that we wanted to hear play. Unfortunately, before we had to leave, we didn't hear any of our songs but it was still a cool experience to be able to see all of their choices throughout the Jukebox! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive! She was kind to talk to. The vegan option we ordered was the Meatless Tacos! My family devoured them! Lol If I ever see a Silver Diner again, I'm definitely stopping in!

Friendly fast service even during a busy, peak lunch shift? Score! Aside from the fact that I love Silver Diner's healthy and vegetarian-friendly options, I respect a team who can shuffle around getting orders in quick and out right AND still help their tables with a smile. From Pick-Two lunch options (soup, salad or sandwich combo), corned beef sandwich, fish n chips, short-rib burger and even pancakes from the kids menu, everything has good flavor. If you're wondering how "kickin" the crab and corn chowder is, it's pretty mild. (Good for me)

Service was extremely slow for a group of 8. Incorrect mismatched orders & missing items that arrived by the end of the meal. However the biggest most complicated issue here was in requesting gluten free options; while they were accommodating and assuring, even confirming that the substitute toast was in fact gluten free. It really screwed up my weekend cause it was not actually gluten free and halfway through the meal they brought the gluten free alternative when someone in the party advocated for the mistake. As of August 2024, I can no longer recommend this place, especially if you are gluten free... if you can't do gluten it's not worth trusting the staff at this location with your digestive system, could ruin your weekend.

The service and food were excellent! We sat at the bar for brunch. Our server was SO pleasant and attentive while she multitasked her bar duties! The restaurant has great "homemade style" choices for breakfast, lunch & dinner! I started with the creamy crab and corn chowder which had a little "kick" of spice. Both my husband's and my meals were cooked and presented well. The portions were filling but not too much. They have wonderful mixed drinks that can be virgin or not! We had a virgin Guava Mango Ginger ale. It was refreshing, flavorful and not sweet. We will be bringing family back on our next visit!

I came here with a few girl friends over the weekend for brunch. Our server Meghan was great and super friendly! She recommended the iced brewchata drink and it was absolutely delicious! We started with the salmon avocado toast for the table and it was a great size and really good. For my meal I ordered a bacon and cheese omelette that came with a biscuit and home fries. I really enjoyed the omelette and biscuit but the home fries I felt could have used some extra seasoning and weren't as crispy as I had expected. Our waitress even let us split our checks three different ways at the end, which I appreciated because most servers I encounter never want to split them. I'll definitely be back here again!

WOW! Dashawn and Jamal were total rockstars! I came in on a Saturday night with a large group of over 40 people to celebrate my daughter's closing night of her last middle school play. Not only did the restaurant accommodate our loud and excited kids who were celebrating after a long day and two amazing performances, but they were cheerful and patient, dealing with many separate checks, and made the whole experience less stressful for us parents who were exhausted and still trying to manage all the crazy. And the food came out hot and quick, and orders were correct and everyone left full and satisfied. Many thanks!!

food was just what I needed. I got the triple pickle chicken sandwich, my lil one the Bison slider with veggies and my husband got the hickory burger. there was a slight wait, however the staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and took very good care of us. we have been to this Silver Dinner more than 4 times and we always enjoy the food and service. thank you.

Note: this is a chain. Music from the 50s to the 80's plays overhead at a gentle volume. Don't expect just your typical diner fare when you're here.. It's been modernized and revised With healthier options while still keeping some of the oldies but goodies. Coffee and tea and fresh brewed iced tea as well as soft drinks are bottomless. When you get a cup of coffee you're not given a spoon or a stirrer so I went looking for set ups and they only come with forks and knives. That's OK I used my knife to stir the cream in my coffee No creamers or butter on the table so you have to get what they decide is right for you. I asked for my second cup of coffee and it was brought to me without creamers. So i just asked someone else who worked here and all they did was call my waitress from across the place so that was pretty embarrassing. The food here is really good. The pancakes are awesome. The bacon is fabulous. The coffee is really good. Its just the basic service is lacking. - You should get a spoon or stirrer with your coffee. - You Should be asked if you need cream or milk with your subsequent cups of coffee since there's none on the table. - If you get pancakes and they deliver the syrup In a teeny tiny little pitcher They should ask you if you have everything you need. Or stop Back to find out. I'm sorry but having to track my server down 3 or 4 times is unacceptable. And then when I was clearly finished I waited 15 minutes for my check even though I had my food and coffee cup pushed to the edge of the table as a sign. Some reviews also mentioned service as an issue so ill keep an eye out to see if its worth giving Silver another chance. I'd like to try back in order to up the stars.

This was a basic diner. The Philly cheese steak was mid at best. Wasn't terrible but nothing I'd run back for.

Went with a group of 7 and we were all pleased with our meals. I ordered breakfast and a friend ordered lunch so we were both happy campers.

I've never heard of this diner and thought that it was just gonna be another regular diner when I realized they carefully made the menu of healthier ingredients and variety. I loveee that they added more vegetables and had so many more options for me to choose from. I had the chicken noodle soup, which was really homey, and then the chicken pot pie, which was unexpectedly not too heavy or light with a good mix of ingredients. It was all so satisfying. My friend got their new menu item, which was some pasta with lamb meatballs, and I had a taste and was especially surprised. I normally feel like pasta can get too heavy and taste the same after every bite, but this also had so many ingredients. Service was fast and polite. The ambiance is similar to what you normally imagine a diner to be: cozy and bright.

I'm a long time customer of this location. My server was nice, but I do feel that the service and food have slightly declined at this location. After the server brought my plate, I grabbed my silverware. The first thing that I pulled out was a for and it wasn't cleaned. It had a white substance on it. Possibly a dried napkin? I waited 5 mins for the server to return, and showed her my fork and asked for a plastic fork. She said okay and brought the plastic ware back. Again, the server (Alaina) was nice, but she never brought this to her managers attention. Maybe because in between serving, she was sitting at a table with another coworker stuffing the silverware that was allegedly clean into the paper holders. Also, I had a child size napkin on my plate that was presented to me sitting on top of Hollandaise sauce in the picture. Lastly, the food was just edible in comparison to most other times. More than likely, I will stick to eating here earlier in the day, and not the early evening. On a regular day and past experience, I give this Silver Diner Location (Elkridge) a solid 4. This time it's a generous three with me giving them the benefit of a doubt.

For Airport food, it was very tasty and a generous portion for the $15 price. Service was slow but kitchen was backed up and since we had a long layover we didn't mind. Coffee is a bottomless cup however it was difficult to get it refilled.

I've been here a couple times always great service and servers. Love the classic diner ambiance. I got the Brussels sprouts last time and they were the best I've ever had. Unfortunately this time they weren't cooked enough and I asked for them to get cooked more and got new ones and they were better but still kinda hard not cooked in the middle. I didn't tell them but the server took them off our check for taking so look which was nice. I tried the watermelon shrimp salad and it was good. Bf got the steak with crab n corn chowder he said was good but the soup was spicy. My watermelon cucumber lemonade was delicious and so refreshing I love any place that offers mock-tail type drinks.

1.1.22 Justice was our server and he was attentive. He brought us a stack of napkins without being asked. I had asked him about birthday offers before we placed our breakfast order as I didn't receive one this year. I was surprised he remembered to ask when he brought our order to us. Apparently now three visits annually are needed to receive a complimentary birthday offer. Years ago, I automatically received a complimentary entree and dessert without any restrictions. I haven't gone to the diner as frequently in recent years. My husband and I both ordered the Belgian waffle with scrambled eggs and bacon. Everything was good, but I would have preferred my bacon to be crispier. My husband and I both brought half of our waffles home. When I reheat it, I plan to toast it so it's crispier. I also ordered a hot chocolate and which came with whip cream. It was delicious, better than Starbucks IMO. My husband took a sip and thought it was too sweet. I have a sweet tooth so I loved it. I thought Justice provided exceptional service and our breakfast was good.

Greatest restaurant in the area - lots of veggie and vegan options. One of my favorite pastimes is to get breakfast here - great atmosphere and delicious food! I especially like the oat milk protein pancakes. I have had great service from Keonnie and other staff the many times I've been there.

silver diner, good old reliable comfort food classics. This location is columbia has ample parking and its pretty big inside. The service here was friendly and fast and the portions were big. This is a chain and for what it is its not that bad.

My son and I dined here Sunday evening since the lunch time was super pack with a 5min wait time. We lucked up and was seated promptly. Chicken Tenders and fries for the lad Buffalo Wings for myself I wasn't overly hunger The lad enjoy the huge chicken tenders and my wings were ok. I'm not sure what dish they are known for but it's not wings. Our waiter was nice quick and attentive.
