Silver Diner

I am furious about my experience at this so-called silver diner. I ordered the most basic American breakfast—scrambled eggs and well-done breakfast potatoes—and somehow these people managed to screw it up three times. Three. Times. It’s pathetic. By the third failure, I demanded to speak to the manager, and that’s when things went from bad to infuriating. The manager, who appeared to be of Hispanic descent, had one of the worst attitudes I’ve ever seen in any restaurant. Instead of listening to me, he tried to push me into ordering something else because they clearly couldn’t figure out how to cook a simple plate of food. Absolutely ridiculous. And the way he behaved? Completely unacceptable. While I was explaining what was wrong, he snatched the plate right out of my hand like I was the problem—like I hadn’t just been sitting there for over an hour waiting for them to do their jobs. He had zero interest in fixing anything, zero professionalism, and zero respect for customers. How hard is it to scramble eggs? How hard is it to cook potatoes until they’re well done? Apparently impossible for this place. The kitchen is a joke, the management is worse, and the overall experience was nothing short of disgraceful. I’m beyond disgusted with this establishment.

We eat at silver diner most weekends as a family of 5. Both kids and adults are always happy with the food and service. The food is always on point and on time. The restaurant clean and the service nice! We get served by Ashley regularly and she is always courteous and hardworking. She always gets it right specially with our special requests. My family and i Definitely recommend Silver diner. We like that they have halal options. Very disappointed at last weekend’s visit. Was served wings full of feathers and when addressed the issue with the manager he replied sorry they come like this sometimes. That gave me nausea all day long! No replacement offers and they made me pay for the wings i didn’t eat. It’s been years we have been going to silver diner and we have never experienced leaving that place still hungry and nauseous. So we will give it another shot hoping that it was just a mistake even thought they had a chance to correct it on the spot which they didn’t.

This place was fantastic! It was our first visit and the food was delicious the atmosphere is inviting and the staff was amazing. The menu has something for everyone. Next time we're in town I'll definitely be back!

We come here all the time, the service and food are always great. Its one of the few restaurants that we're confident the experience is going to be a good one every time, which seems to be rarer and rarer these days! We had Ola as our waiter today and honestly, he just set the bar even higher. He was attentive but not lingering. Very thorough with asking us how we wanted our food, even asked how we wanted our scrambled eggs (soft, med, etc). Just his overall demeanor was awesome, chill and kind. Overall fantastic customer service and food, we'll be back soon!

Gross, smelly, muggy and hot and a huge miss. Manager is not good and food not worth paying for. (My spinach omelette was ok). The drinks were all wrong and not good. They replaced it with orange juice and that was mid also. My kiddo asked for kids sliders and the manager brought over a beyond beef burger with something purple (nit an onion) and lots of arugula on it. I asked her was this the kids slider burger and she said yes. I thought it may be wrong but was not sure of how the sliders actually came. My 5 yr old just picked all the extras off the burger and tried to eat the burger. The waitress came over and said she noticed the burger is not what we ordered so she will take her food off the bill. Well, after the second bite she bit into the sharp end of broken toothpick that was in her burger. I told the waitress about it who then went and talked to manager. She came back and said the manager said she will talk to the cook about it… and that was it. While waiting for my check, I went to the front to find out when the check will come or if I could pay at the front because I had to go. The lady I talk to at the counter was who brought me the burger. I ask if she was the manager which she was. I said to her that I asked when she brought over the burger was it the kids slider in which she said yes. Well, she said I didn’t know what you said. I told her I asked twice and she said yes and handed me the burger. She had no care in the world about what happened to my kids. Terrible and gross. Avoid it!

American diner atmosphere, very clean with many regular customers. Ordered breakfast which came out hot with special requests handled perfectly. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. Restrooms were spotless.

Great food, the Triple Pickled Chicken Sandwich was packed full of flavor, our children enjoyed the grilled cheese and Mac and cheese with a side of fresh fruit. My only complaint was that they charged 3.29 for a cup of regular coffee. It had an awesome environment! Our waitress was kind and attentive. Will definitely be coming back.

The vegan experience at this establishment is subpar. Although there are a few options, they are not very good. I would not return, but it remains an option in the "vegan food desert" of Bowie, MD.

One of my best friends and I wanted to spend some quality time together, so we kicked off Christmas Eve with a tennis class and decided to grab breakfast afterward . Normally, we'd opt for a trendier DC brunch spot, but since the class was in the Largo/Upper Marlboro area, we went with an old faithful: Silver Diner. We both knew one thing immediately - milkshakes were non-negotiable . We ordered the Mocha Holiday Shake, and wow... it was so good and they definitely don't skimp on the portion. Super rich, festive, and honestly could've been a meal on its own. For food, my friend ordered the steak and eggs, and I went slightly outside my comfort zone with the corned beef hash. I've maybe had corned beef hash once in my life and it's not something I'd usually order but I was in a weird mood where my usual go-tos (shrimp & grits or an omelet) just weren't doing it for me ‍. To my surprise, I loved it. The corned beef hash was served with potatoes, caramelized onions, and eggs, which I ordered scrambled with cheddar cheese . Everything tasted hearty, comforting, and like something your country relative would make at home, in the best way possible. Given it was Christmas Eve, the place was pretty packed, but we were seated right away (we arrived around 10:15am). The restaurant itself is quite large and also has a bar area with self-seating. Our server, a young guy who was likely a teenager was friendly and attentive, though a bit forgetful. I didn't hold that against him since it looked like he was covering quite a few tables and doing his best. Overall, the food and service were solid, but I do have one request: better hot sauce options . Tabasco is simply not real hot sauce. Crystal or Louisiana would be much more appropriate especially in the Black community . All in all, Silver Diner did exactly what it needed to do: comfort food, good vibes, and a nostalgic, reliable experience. I'd definitely return the next time I'm in the area.

We haven't been to this location in the evening so we decided to go on a Wednesday evening it was not busy The staff was really nice the restaurant look clean buut it was not bus. Food on the other hand was not tasteful and looks slopped together. As we were there we noticed somebody complaining about seasoning not being on their salmon. Had one order of chicken fried steak with gravy the gravy look like something out of a old elementary school cafeteria and did not move. The new potatoes had saute caramelized onions on them and did not look appealing. The cheeseburger had more cheese on it then bun or burger. I have been to this location in the past during the day normally on the weekend and the food wasn't like this so I might give another chance in the far future.

Dec 21, 2025. I went here to celebrate my aunts birthday. We ordered basic breakfast items , pancakes , eggs, breakfast meat. We waited for an hour for our food that came out cold and wrong . I explained to the manager the situation. They said they would remake the food , however that took about another 30 minutes at the point my aunt didn't want the food. I asked the manager to comp the toast eggs and potatoes my other aunt ordered because we came to eat and celebrate together not to watch her eat . Essentially I was glad at least the birthday girl was able to eat , but after the comp conversation the manager stated it would be best if we didn't eat there again. Np. The manager was Spanish and the majority of people working there were Spanish as well. They had about 4 token blacks there . The food me and my other aunt ordered was cold , eggs running and breakfast meat not cooked well as we ordered it . I realize that customer service doesn't exist anymore when you R black. I have been going to silver dinners for yearsssssss I use to have that blue card and everything. It's really sad how the service has gone down hill. I'll take his advice tho or recommendation and not eat there again. Thanks for ruining our birthday breakfast. I didn't take any pics. My aunts both are older and recommend writing a review afterwards in the car so.

I haven't been to an old school diner like this in ages. The nostalgic feel of the red chairs, the floor tiles, having a booth. Where many places today run to what's trendy, these were mostly classic dishes made with organic, clean ingredients. I liked this so much, I went for breakfast, had my mind blown and ran back for dinner the next day that I could. If I had to choose between them, I say go twice. Starting with breakfast, not enough menus today have a classic lumberjack breakfast. I asked for the local sausage and this was easily one of my favorite parts. The shrimp and grits took the spotlight. The grits you could eat with a fork (but were not dry!) The sausage was juicy and spicy, and I didnt feel like I had to look for shrimp. I would not suggest the eggrolls. New sauce. New flavor combo. Something else has to happen. The wings are legit. I didnt share any additional preference and the wings came saucy yet still crispy. The crab cake sandwich with lobster au jus, was Maryland. Everything I needed from Maryland in one delicious bite. I wish they also served lobster bisque to have that much more of the sauce. A very easy go to in the future.

Now, I'm a little disappointed to write this but as I say to enjoy what I thought would be a simple morning breakfast alone, I was joined by some kind of bug crawling throughout the bar area. I've been to this location before and haven't had any issues however if there's one bug there's likely more. I did let the server know and she sort of cringed and said she'll let someone know. I couldn't finish my good because I was so focused on watching where that bug was going.

It's not just a diner. We are at the bar as we were pressed for time and table were a 20 minute wait. The customer service is very good however the food is even better. Everything we had was delicious- the mimosa could definitely do with some tweaking to make it delicious. The ambiance is good for a diner - check Them out. Your belly will thank you

I wrote a great 4 star review while waiting for the check that abruptly went to negative 48 stars (if possible). Went in, ate, had a nice time, and when we walked out the front door....SOAKED! There was a crew pressure washing the signs above the front door soaking every patron that walked out with dirty water! Zero excuse for this. Middle of the day, on a weekday, and during lunch time! Tons of patrons disgusted. Who planned this and why was no one telling them to stop?! Negative stats but now for the review I wrote BEFORE walking out the front door.... Clean, welcoming and fast service until we waited a while for the check. I had the caramel French toast with eggs and bacon. My husband had the tuna melt. Mine was fabulous. My husband said his sandwich was amazing but the fries were cold. Still a great meal in a fun place with . We will definitely be back here or try other locations.

Great food and even better service! I went for a classic breakfast--pancakes, eggs, and turkey sausage. It came out quickly, piping hot, and was absolutely delicious. The pancakes were fluffy, eggs were cooked perfectly, and the turkey sausage was seasoned just right. One downside: the bacon. If you're like me and prefer it crispy, definitely let your server know. It came out a bit flimsy, and I was a little disappointed. Other than that, everything was fantastic! The diner is quite popular, especially during brunch hours, and they don't allow you to put your name on the waitlist in advance. So, if you don't want to wait too long, I'd recommend getting there a bit earlier before peak times. Overall, a great spot with good food and friendly service. Will definitely be back!

Decided to try some dinner options tonight & boy were we disappointed. I think we'll just stick to breakfast/brunch. I tried the crab cake platter which came with veggies and a side salad . I was given more of the burnt onion strings than veggies serving lol literally had 3 snap pea, a broccoli floret, a cauliflower floret and like a couple carrots pieces that were cut in tiny pieces. I couldn't believe it. No sauce for my crab cake and the crab cake was giving smashed like a salmon cake. Too salty & full of filler... For my hunnie I ordered him a turkey burger and he had more bread than sandwich. His fries tasted old as if they had just been sitting. Hard & cold...smh If it wasn't so late, I would've take this back! Fool me once! DEFINITELY WILL CHECK MY ORDER IF I EVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN BEFORE exiting!!! Just wasn't the breakfast experience that we were use to... Smh... Happy Yelping!

One day we'll be able to give half stars. Strong 4 stars. The food here is always delicious. One of our favorite spots when we are in this part of MD. Service is a touch slow so pack your patience. Also, we not ever been here when it isn't crowded. Come hungry not hangry in case you have a bit of a wait. They have a full service bar with a few drafts on tap.

I should have checked reviews first and would have been guided to stick with breakfast. We tried dinner for the first time since we were in the area. The service was good and the restaurant was clean, although the server seemed unfamiliar with the menu. My entree was terrible. I ordered the fish and chips. It was overly breaded and tasteless at the same time. The fish without the breading was dry and clearly not fresh, as if it was pre-frozen. The coleslaw looked great but was also tasteless. I ate the fries which contained no old bay, as described on the menu. The happy hour margarita was terrible, made with an oddly tasting premix I presume. I didn't drink it. My husband ordered a burger and he was satisfied. The server noticed my full plate and said I'm sorry you didn't like your food and handed my husband the pay thing. So it's one and done for anything but breakfast. Period!

Beautiful building. Comfortable surroundings. Plenty of parking. Loved the space, except for the breakfast food. Sesame bagel (only bagel choice) wasn't toasted. Wasn't crunchy on the outside, so even the plastic Container of Philly cream cheese couldn't fix it. Grits were plentiful and tasteless. When i asked for Butter I got a single small plastic thimble. Coffee came in a large mug, and was very good!

It's a diner, folks, so let's keep our expectations reasonable. Cute place and there were quite a number of people there considering we came about 9-9:30 am. They were out of the horchata cold brew, so my daughter opted for water. My heart sank when the waitress said they didn't have coffee because the machine was acting up. However, she came back with our waters and let us know it was up and running. I did ask for a second cup of the bottomless coffee and the waitress took my cup away to refill it. For my own piece of mind, I'd prefer the coffee refill to be poured at the table. I loved the Philly steak omelette I ordered. I was so happy to see that the meat used in it was halal. The home fries with carmelized onions were less inspiring. I left most of them - the baby had 3-4 cubes of my potatoes. I should have gotten a side of fruit instead. The biscuit that came with it looked unappetizing, and when I tried it, it was a bit too sweet. My daughter ordered a Benedict smash burger minus the hollandaise sauce and bacon and subbed onion rings for the French fries. The onion rings came out hot and crispy - perfect! My daughter enjoyed her burger. We also ordered a scrambled egg for the baby. The service was pretty slow. The wait for the food was a little long as was the wait for the check. My daughter had to let someone else know to send our server with the check. If we are back in the area, we might stop by again.

I went to the location in the harbor and my Cesar salad with salmon was delicious! They put an excellent sized filet on there and I couldn't have been happier!

We both got the power breakfast, the sun-dried tomatoes were the bomb on the eggs. Everything was delicious. We were seated fast and our server was fabulous, we ordered and the food was at the table quickly. The restaurant is in the old type roadside "trailer" great classic look. It was opening day for the Washington "Redskins" Commanders, so the place was busy inside, to go orders and the "dashers". Everything was running smooth. We will come back

After reading the reviews, we decided to check out this local hot spot. We started with lunch but found it underwhelming. Since many reviews mentioned that breakfast was their strong suit, we gave it another shot the next morning. In short, this diner shows promise but is currently just average when it comes to food quality. Both our lunch and breakfast meals were... bland. A little more seasoning and flavor could go a long way and easily boost their rating from a 3.5 to a solid 4 or even 4.5. Don't count this place out, though, with a few tweaks, it has the potential to become a top tier diner.

Finding a restaurant in the DMV with solid plant-based options for a toddler is no small feat, but Silver Diner has been our go-to after my son's basketball practice. The only issue? No plant-based options on the kids' menu--unless you count dessert. I'd love to pay kid prices for my kid's meal, but every time I try to order the oat milk protein pancakes from the kids' menu, it comes out wrong. So now? I just order from the regular menu and keep it moving. Parking & Seating Parking is super easy since it's located in a town center--no need to circle for a spot. The quoted wait time was 10-15 minutes, but we were seated closer to 10. Service & Drinks Our server greeted us and handed out menus, but when I initially asked for water, she only brought it for my partner and me--not my son. I assumed "water for the table" meant everyone, but lesson learned! For drinks, we ordered: * Watermelon Cucumber Lemonade - refreshing and flavorful! * Mocha Cold Brew - smooth, but our receipt later revealed a billing issue (more on that below). * Kids' Oat Milk - ordered after I realized my son's water never came. Food Breakdown * Apple Pie Stuffed French Toast (Bae's Order) - He enjoyed it but wished the apples were softer. He had to go get syrup himself since our server was by the expo window. * Bacon Bleu Burger with Fries (My Order) - Decent, but nothing mind-blowing. The fries tasted fresh but weren't the warmest. * Oat Milk Protein Pancakes with Just Egg (Kid's Order) - My toddler actually ate half of the pancakes and all his Just Egg, which is basically a win in toddler dining! The Bill & Final Thoughts Our subtotal was $71.23, but with taxes and tip, it came to $89.76. Later, I realized our server never removed the original coffee my boyfriend ordered before switching to a mocha cold brew. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely a note for next time. Will I return? Yes. The food is solid, and finding something a toddler actually likes is a win. But service can be hit or miss depending on the server, so I go in with realistic expectations. Overall Rating: 3.5/5 * Great plant-based options (just not on the kids' menu) * Easy parking & usually a short wait * Service is inconsistent * Warm, not hot, fries & billing mistake Pro Tip: If you're ordering plant-based for a kid, just go straight to the regular menu and don't mention it's for a toddler. Trust me.

The service and food were great. It seems like they need to hire more people due to the crowd size

My wife and I are in DC for her birthday weekend. We had a long day and decided to get dinner at the diner near the hotel since they're open late. We arrive around 10:30, hungry and thinking there's still time to eat and get served. We read the reviews online and figured this was a better option over Applebees. Unfortunately it was not. We arrive and get seated right away. Things are going great; we previewed the menu and looked on Yelp. We ask our server for water and look over the menu. A different server comes up and takes our order. 5 mins after our order is taken, the original server asks if we're ready. We told her that another server has taken our order and was surprised. First red flag. We dismiss it as miscommunication. We wait patiently and our food arrives. The server who took our order asks if we need anything else. My wife notices that we don't have any utensils on the table and ask for them. Second red flag. Why were we seated and not given utensils in the first place? We begin to eat our food and her drink arrives; a Campfire Cold Brew. It looks weird. The milk was in the bottom and it looked like it was already curdling. We try to get the attention of the hostess, and our server's attention, to no avail. The hostess was already looking in our direction but somehow did not notice my hand raised, trying to get her attention. Some time goes on and the server who took our order comes back, and we bring it to his attention. He states that he forgot to put the cream on top ( or something like that) but my wife retorts that it looks nothing like the menu photo. We decide to send it back. At this point we asked for containers and packed our food and left disappointed and angry. Service and consideration from staff was nonexistent. Good looking building, but customer service is severely severely lacking. Please address this.

Silver Diner is always a good choice for quick and good food. I usually dine at the one in Greenbelt but met a friend here one afternoon. We both wanted breakfast food and ordered waffles, eggs, and bacon. It was yummy but took forever to come out. Maybe we were in between shifts but what was initially supposed to be a 30-40 min dining experience turned into a 2hr waiting room. I guess the challenge was that we wanted to order milkshakes after our breakfast entrees were gobbled up within minutes of the plates hitting the tables lol All in all, you can never go wrong when dining here. Just make sure you pack your patience!

Proof less peach smash - Super sweet. Drank a little and added a ton of water and it was amazing. 10/10. Sweet potato fries: Absolutely perfect. Enjoyed every bite. Buffalo wings: Navy yard location was better but they were still good. Apple Pie A la mode - SO GOOD!!! 10/10. My new go to! Service: kinda slow so don't be in a rush. Ambiance: Casual.

HH is clearly advertised as starting @ 3pm. I am the ONLY patron @ the bar. No worries ... I enjoy my own company butttt ... that should have been my first warning. Been here since 3:23pm ... had to ask twice for assistance. Finally got approached at 3:47pm. *SIGH* Not pleased with my old bay wings ... super bland. Tasted like they were deep fried completely frozen. I am assuming I came in during the shift change. I totally understand but SOMEONE shoulda, coulda informed me. SHOUTOUT to Angel! She showed up ready to work, pleasant, engaging, and energetic. She immediately acknowledged me and got busy cleaning that DIRTY bar the day shift left for her. I have always been a fan of Silver Diner and although I'm SUPER disappointed with this one, an Angel saved them. #PunIntended

I give this just under three, but I thought two was not appropriate. The place is very nice. It does have the diner look but it's upscale. In my opinion, though, the menu is too upscale. I am looking for a diner feel, it won't be this place. Service was OK. The server wasn't rude, but just seemed like he was going through the motions. I enjoyed my tomato and mozzarella sandwich. I can't recall the actual name. The mozzarella had an interesting fluffy texture. I did not mind it, and I really enjoyed the sandwich, though it was not as filling as I would have liked. The other person who got that did not really like the texture of the mozzarella. The small portion of fries were good. The coleslaw was OK, but I don't like celery and there was celery in it. To pay the bill, the server brought over the little machine and handed it to me to pay. All it showed was the total so I asked him to show me the items. He took it back and pushed a few buttons. I looked at it while he stood there and then said OK. it defaulted to a 22% tip which I think is just unreasonable. Sure, give that option but to default to 22% is wrong. The person I was with and I had a really good time so a three it is.

Silver Diner is a perfect spot for a quick breakfast before you begin your day. We went on a sleepy Thursday morning and it wasn't very busy, but the staff was more than friendly, the food was fresh, and the service was quick. I was impressed at the amount of options on the menu, you could have anything you wanted - I think the menu was that intense. My 'healthy' omelet was a great choice - not too big, but definitely filling and full of flavor. You can't go wrong with bacon, and it did not disappoint. It also came with fruit, which is usually full of melon boredom, but this fruit cup had a great mix of berries, pineapple, and few melon, which was a welcome surprise. Overall, this is a spot I would go back to if I was in town.

This is my go to for sure. The ppl are so pleasant. The atmosphere is welcoming and today Marcel our server was on point. He anticipated every need. I had the Blue special for Seniors 65 and over. The food comes out fast and fresh!!!! I could not eat all of mine. I love coming to my neighborhood watering hole.

The place is run down seats in booth were slipping off, slow waitress got 1 refill, steak dinner was blahhh no flavor, Burger was ok nothing special here

This has restored my faith in silver diners. I guess I've been going to the wrong ones. I went around 11:00 a.m. on a friday. Was seated right away. The service was great. The food was what I was scared of due to previous locations. I had the Organic Bison Huevos Rancheros & it was awesome! Seasoned so good. I'm a big tea person and the tea they gave me was not Bland at all. I'll definitely be back to this location!

Went on Saturday when it was pretty busy and they even had big parties to take care of. Despite these things Chris did a fantastic job taking care of us. The food was delicious, especially the milkshakes! Everything was fast and speedy. I love this location always.

So, silver diner is a place you go to, to satisfy your hunger. Like.... It does the job. Don't look for glitz and glamour, just look to be fed. Our server was attentive and made sure we had what we needed. The atmosphere was cool. It was a regular family diner, where you could eat, talk, drink, and enjoy your food. The peach pie for 2 and the Philly omelette were both delicious. Potatoes had no seasoning, so be prepared to put some salt and pepper on it. All in all, the experience was good, food was decent, and the silver diner did what it was supposed to do.

I always get the salmon whenever I visit. The service was great and ambiance is nice as well. I also got an order of fries with a side of honey mustard. Silver Diner honey mustard is top tier in my book since I call myself the president of the chicken tender and fries club lol

Classic diner was happy to see so many Buffalo Bills fans!!! GO BILLS (Game vs Washington today)!!! The diner was sooooo busy but we spotted a couple of counter stools and grabbed them right away. You can't help but notice how friendly the staff is. We watched one staff member pour morning breakfast alcoholic drinks one after the other, which made us wonder if people were getting lubircated for the big game. The food was served rather quickly but I had to admit the coffee refills were rather slow. Breakfast doesn't take a lot to create and makes the most money for diners and restaurants so most do not create a wow and the Sliver Diner just served good breakfasts but nothing that makes me want to hurry back sometime in the future. But the brothers enjoyed the start of our day ... GO BILLS!!!

Service was great, Monte took care of us. Food came out quick and hot. The only bad thing was the maple chicken sausage that had a funny taste. If I could describe mildew taste it would be this..

Food was pretty good. I had the chicken noodle soup, firecracker shrimp tacos and chicken piccata. The triple peach soda was DELICIOUS! Service was a little slow but they were busy as well.

We came to the silver diner on Sunday around 11:30am and my oh my, the place was jumpin! There was a long line out of the door but the estimated wait time was only 10-15 minutes. We opted to take two seats at the bar area. After we sat and waited for 10 minutes with no acknowledgment I wished we had waited for a table. We flagged down the bartender/server and asked for water and menus after 10 more minutes we received water and placed our order. I didn't realize the gentleman next to us had been waiting and didn't get service either. Meanwhile the woman who came after us and sat was served and received her food and drink in record time. My partner ordered the lumberjack breakfast and I ordered a scrambler. Everyone around us received their food within 5-7 minutes of ordering. We finally received our food and I was very disappointed the fruit was soggy, we didn't get any condiments for our meals, my partners meal was lukewarm and when we asked for things the servers seemed annoyed. I understand that Sundays can be busy but that's not an excuse for poor service. I asked for the manager and she stated that our food may not have been put in right away. She offered to correct the mistakes that had been made and ultimately I ended up getting a new meal altogether. I appreciated her attentiveness and care to correct the matter. I'm really disappointed in my experience and hope that it will be better next time as this location is not too far from my house.

Zuri and Marcell took great care of us! Really cool elevated diner setting with an impressive menu. It was hard to choose! I enjoyed my lunch, and the coffee was really good!

Delicious, had a wonderful time there with great service and great ambiance to match. We had the mushroom Swiss burgers with sweet potato fries! Their chocolate cake and ice cream was delicious as well

I came here with a few members on my team and we decided to treated ourselves and break bread together. We were seated pretty quickly and the waiter was pretty patient with us as we did have 8 people in our group! I've been to the location in Navy yard so this was my first time at the lanham location. It was pretty decent. I don't think anything stood out to me as amazing, but I nice bite to eat if you want something quick and easy. I orders the French toast and it was good. It was a busy day at Silver Diner and it looks like a typical diner, so you can be casual and comfort coming here. We did sit and talk for a while without the waiter asking us to give up our table, which was nice. It really was a great time to catch up and I'm sure I'll be back one day!

Went to Silver Diner to have a late breakfast since we were off work and they had several plant based options on their menu. Once we arrived, we were promptly seated by the hostess where we waited over 15 minutes for a server to come to our table. The restaurant wasn't overly busy and there were several servers walking around to other tables, but no one was greeting us. We were just about to walk out when a young lady came over to take our order. Maybe we should've taken this as a sign, but we were hungry and already here. When the food came out, the disappointment continued. The pancakes were undercooked and inedible (the inside was gummy and wet) and the avocado toast was runny with a strange "tangy" flavor (it seems like they mix salsa verde with the avocado possibly, or use guacamole for the avocado toast and not straight avocado). It wasn't inedible, but it definitely wasn't to my liking. The plant based sausage was ok, but nothing to get excited over. It took another 15+ minutes before our server came back to our table to check on us, where we asked for the pancakes to be taken off the bill. To her credit, she did ask if we'd like them remade, but at this point we'd already been waiting longer than necessary and truthfully, after disliking both of our entrees, we weren't confident to order anything else. We opted to pay our bill and leave. We likely won't be back.

So much yes! And a bar??? How have I never realized the bar area? Okay came in for a brief business meeting. Got toast and avocado. It was the bomb! Came at 9:45 a.m. on a Sunday and there was no wait! Whoooo hooooo! Nothing but positive vibes!

Silver diners menu has gotten so much better over the years and very much mindful of various diets. One of my favorite ways to eat is following the Mediterranean diet and they just launched a Mediterranean menu. I had a delicious quinoa chicken sausage bowl. No issues with the food. I am concerned about my servers lack of basic menu knowledge. Some of the dishes had a symbol next to them and I didn't see what it indicated. I asked my server what it meant and he literally said "I think it's just design". Puzzled, I said "design? Usually symbols next to dishes indicate something". He said "yeah, idk, it's probably just design". This is a huge issue! What if i couldn't read well and really needed some help making sure I understood what I was ordering? Really bizarre.

Good restaurant in a great location. Lobster roll was awesome! Service was great n friendly. Ambiance was satisfactory

Well, hunger drove me into this Silver Diner on search of a steak or some kinda beef based entre that my palette desired. Silver Diner prides themselves on much of their food being locally sourced, locally prepared. I quickly decided on the Philly style cheese sandwich with mushrooms and a side of onion rings. The sandwich was delicious and flavorful. Maybe some extra onions could have gone into it, but I'm not picking on that. The fried onion rings were large, well battered, and delicious. I topped this hunger quenching meal off with some grape juice and a burp, and I was out the door, whistling as I drove home, totally full and grinning. Well done, Silver Diner, I just might stop by again when in the neighborhood. Oh yes, my waiter, Olaoluma, was timely, attentive and provided great suggestions and information. Well done.

My wife and I love this place. Have only been here twice. This time I had their Pickle Brined Chicken and Waffles, which is definitely different than your regular chicken and waffles, especially if you choose to eat it with their sausage gravy...which I did. That makes it much more savory but I thought it was fantastic. I'm already trying to figure out when I'm coming back because I also really wanted their Bay Benedict so I'll let you know next time about that dish. My wife had the Quinoa Farro Bowl which she said was the best breakfast she's ever had. The ingredients for that are not your usual fare and were excellent. We'll be back!!'

I'm not sure what was going on but they didn't have salmon or crab meat. The fish and chips had thicker pieces than usual. The appetizers were luke warm. The apple pie was good and a nice portion size. The server was very attentive with a positive attitude. The restaurant looked clean but multiple plates and utensils were turned in due to significant stains.

The family asked me out to have breakfast/brunch and conversation. I chose Silver Diner because my wife and I had dined there previously and enjoyed the food,service, and especially the burnt orange Mimosa. However, on this occasion, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of food and general presentation. Arrives early to meet family at 10:00, upon being seated, the table was not prepared. The young lady came wiped the table off, left the stack of menus on the table, and departed. Shortly, our server arrived at which time we took it upon ourselves to pass out the menus in preparation for ordering. I ordered a mimosa, which arrived in a cracked glass and had to be sent back...actually, I had to walk it back since the server did not return in a timely manner. I ordered garlic spinach, which was exceptional, along with a chicken sandwich and fries. Fries were good lightly salted and cooked just right... However, the chicken was overdone, making it dry, burnt in some areas, and stringy. The server was pleasant and polite, yet slow. Ohhh and finally, the burnt orange Mimosa has been removed from the menu...bummer. The Cucumber Mimosa did not fill the void...tasted like a watered-down ginger ale.

Silver diner looks and feels like an old diner. It is homey to say the least. I had never been to one before, and my first experience wasn't the best. We waited a while to be seated, but that was no big deal. When we did get seated, it took forever for our server to come to our table, and when she finally did, she wasn't the nicest. The entire service she was short and acted like she was bothered. After we got our food, she came by once. I will say the food was good, but the service is subpar.

Circling back...the silver diner is officially my malt shake spot when I'm in the area. This kids shake is the perfect size. I was able to quickly get my treat to-go. I watched staff members prepare it with care (lots of ice cream, malt powder and chocolate syrup). I didn't quite care for the Hershey's chocolate syrup used in the shake because it has an artificial (but nostalgic) flavor...but it didn't take away too much! I'll be back to work my way through the flavors

Food is great comes to you piping hot and delicious. Service is fast and efficient. Prices are compatible.

Great service and from the bartender Cory. I always come back just for the ambience and great food!
