It IS your average joes…read more Came here with the girlfriend with the intent of grabbing dinner prior to watching a movie at Alamo's. I should have just eaten at alamos. To start, they brought out bread and oil to eat prior to our food arriving. It was cold. I genuinely believe it came straight out of the fridge, since the room was warmer than the bread. We both order the wagyu burgers and I got a beer. $25 a pop. I was hoping it would be a solid burger but it genuinely so boring. The bacon looked like it was boiled. If I were on the west coast, I would rather have gone to in n out or shake shake here. Fries were also mid. I'd also like to add: when booking a reservation with them, I was asked, "is this for a special occasion?" to which it was my girlfriends birthday. While I am not entitled to anything free, I think it is weird that it was asked but not recognized in any form such as a "happy birthday". On the positive, our service was kind and attentive. The ambience is nice. I would never go here again. It was $70 for two extremely average burgers and one beer.

I bring my parents here whenever they visit, and they love it. AMBIANCE The Occoquan area is very, very nice to walk around, and the cafe is a perfect fit for it. The "secret" in the name is accurate. It's tucked away in a corner, which makes finding it feel like a little discovery. You can choose between outdoor and indoor seating, and the interior has a really nice atmosphere. SERVICE The staff is always very, very nice and welcoming. Every visit has felt warm and easygoing, which is a big reason I keep coming back. FOOD The food is phenomenal. Some of the combinations sound a little strange on the menu, but they always turn out to be very good. I've never walked away disappointed. OVERALL: I definitely recommend it, especially if you're looking for a special spot to bring out of towners

6/6/26 Our server Mr. DJ is full of energy and great vibes…read more This was put to the test later on while we were eating, but we'll get into that later. The Woodbridge Silver Dinner is a very busy place today. The ambience and moods seem to be running on happy high octane. The sounds of meals being prepared along with the smells are mouth watering. Evidently, I must be hungry. Upon being shown to our table by a young lady with short hair, we learned from the lady which specials are available for brunch. The lady reminded me of Rhea Ripley. Someone I vaguely remember seeing before I stopped watching WWE. Now she is very popular and I see how she looks now. The lady who seated us remind me of a young Rhea Ripley, but with the short black hair and a bit of the gothic vibe. All of these passed through my head as our host was talking to us. I think this host lady will be making it big very soon. Our server's name is David, but he likes to go by the name DJ. DJ took our orders and the were brought to us pretty quickly. I appreciate DJ informing us that the Rootbeer I would have ordered was flat. The soda machine appeared to be out of the C02...or something else all together. I ended up sticking with good old H20. I ordered the Belgian Waffle&Eggs. Since I do not eat eggs, I substituted the eggs for the new menu item called Home Fries with Caramelized Onions. My wife ordered the French Toast and Eggs with an order of Home Fries with Caramelized Onions, as well. The food was delicious as it almost always is. We saw and heard DJ talking to other guests in his high friendly energy he puts out. Unfortunately, one customer didn't seem to be enjoying himself and got loud and rude with DJ and a customer. Things could have ugly, but they didn't. Cooler heads prevailed dispite Rude Boy taking his anger out on other customers. Whether or not his wife, girlfriend or sister was embarrassed by his rude boy manners, Rihanna's message of the Rude Boy song needs to be upgraded...without the sexual innuendos to her. The other option, "Everything He Owns In A Box To The Left." I am digressing. Back to the subject at hand. DJ is a grown man and handled Rude Boy's remarks and fixed the issue. DJ apologize to his guests for the Rude Boys outbursts. Just another day at Silver Dinner if you don't let rude remarks hit you/bother you like a bat out of hell. The staff members seem pretty down to earth and they all worked together to get food out to the guests. Yes, mistakes can happen, but it's how the problem(s) are handled. We will definitely be back.

Yesterday, my husband and I decided to go to Silver Diner. My children absolutely love the…read morerestaurant, and the service is always great. Even though it was pretty busy, we were seated immediately, and I was especially grateful to be seated in a quieter corner where the tables were more to the side instead of directly behind us. It was a stressful moment because my autistic son was having a really hard time and was clearly overwhelmed. Our server was wonderful, but the manager, Joy, was truly an angel sent at the perfect time. Not only did she remember our family from a previous visit, but after we explained that our son is autistic and was struggling in the moment, she immediately went to the back and returned with markers, paper, gemstone stickers, a timer, and more -- almost like she was fully prepared for children with sensory needs. I honestly can't express how much that meant to us. Her timing couldn't have been better, and we will forever be grateful for her kindness and compassion. On top of that, when my food came out, my steak wasn't cooked the way I requested. I honestly wasn't even planning to say anything, but Joy noticed I wasn't eating it and asked how I had ordered it cooked. When I explained, she kindly offered to remove it from the check. Managers like Joy are rare and so deeply appreciated. The food was great, but truthfully, Joy is what made this experience unforgettable. You can tell she's not only an amazing manager, but also a genuinely good person with a caring heart. Thank you, Joy, for making such a lasting impression on our family. Silver Diner is lucky to have you!

The second time we came we were seated in a booth that I felt left us a bit neglected. There were 4 of us; 3 ordered steaks and all three ordered medium rare. They were cooked beyond that. My salmon was cooked exactly as it should be. The third steak was sent back as it was the wrong order. Because it took awhile to get it corrected, the birthday boy ended up eating his dinner alone as the rest of us completed our meals. To be fair, his steak was done correctly.

It was cooked almost perfectly. I added a lobster tail, and got a side of mac and cheese. The side was superb. My friend and I started with the Wild West Shrimp appetizer, and it was prepared in the same way as a calamari app might be prepared at an Italian restaurant: breaded with peppers. It was a fine appetizer (I was expecting to be dazzled, and I was not). The service was fine. Our server seemed young and inexperienced, and not incredibly knowledgeable about the menu items. I'm sure she'll get better with time. If you're looking for a solid steakhouse, you could do worse than Longhorn's.

Not happy with this place…read more The first time I ate here was in person and it was great. After that, I ordered for pick up. It's clear they don't care about customers when you order pick up. Both times my crab cake was dressed with wilted, rotting lettuce and both times they failed to include the tartar sauce that was asked for (and on the receipt!). For the price, the fact they still get a full tip, and they don't even have to bus a table, they should pay attention to the details. Really disappointing. Oh, and the calamari is really poor quality.

As I was driving through Dumfries, I heard of a new place called Southern Spin Kitchen. From…read moreRichmond Hwy, made a right onto Colonial St as the gps guided me but where the location is pinned, it doesn't exist. So I continue on Colonial St, see a big parking garage that reads Rose Gaming Resort, went up the ramp and parked. I went into the elevator, took a guess and push down to the 1st floor. Well there it was .. the food court with multiple restaurants inside the resort in which didn't stated beforehand. In the lobby, there's 6 establishments on the 1st floor such as Crab Tastic, R' Burger, Mama Mia's Italian Kitchen, Southern Spin Kitchen, The Bar and Corner Store. But you have to check the listings as they do not open on the same days and hours. During Mondays-Wednesdays, you have to place your order at the Corner Store for Southern Spin Kitchen and R' Burger. There were 3 items: 1) Chicken and Waffle Sliders 2) Fried Chicken 3) Peach Cobbler. The sliders were unique, waffles were fluffy and chicken were crispy. You get 3 portions served with crispy fries and slaw but never received the slaw but everything was delicious. The fried chicken platter is served with two sides of choice (collard greens and mac n' cheese). Be careful with the first bite as the fried chicken is piping hot. The two sides are were delicious but the collard greens were too sweet for me. The peach cobbler was supposed to be à la mode in which the kitchen staff of SSK informed they ran out of ice cream. As I return to the cashier named Tasia F, I informed her of what SSK staff told me about the ice cream. With the assistance of another cashier named Allie, I was informed that cashier Tasia F went searching through other kitchens within the resort to see if ice cream was in stock. Unfortunately there wasn't any ice cream available which was okay. I wasn't expecting anything because I understand if supplies were short. But I had excellent service with these two cashiers who were friendly, genuine, knowledgeable and beyond customer service. I would make future visit to try other items on their menu as well as other establishments

We had to place our order at another counter (minimal staffing at all restaurants in the food court). The rotisserie chicken was pretty good, collard greens and baked beans are prepared with pork (fyi). Substitutions for chicken pieces are not allowed.

We would definitely visit again!

Our server, Savannah, was really attentive and really made the experience. A damp afternoon on the patio could have been miserable, but she kept everything warm, welcoming, and relaxed from start to finish. The food was a bit of a mixed bag on the appetizer front. The mini salmon cakes were outstanding and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The dry-rub wings, on the other hand, were forgettable. Skip those and save room for the entrées. Both the crab cakes and the lamb ragu were excellent, with the lamb ragu being the standout. We wrapped things up with the butterscotch à la mode, which was a great finish. The atmosphere is relaxed and the covered patio was a huge deal on a rainy day. Dog-friendly on top of that makes it an easy yes for a lazy Sunday afternoon. We'll definitely be back.
