I'm glad to see a quality restaurant spring up in the New Carrollton area. The Union Bar and Grill…read moresits below the "Stella" apartment complex which is among several luxury apartment building that has adorn the New Carrollton Metro area. The restaurant is really nice. It reminds me of a smaller Burtons or a more refined Busboys and Poets. The food is also really good. I've had the burger, wings, calamari, spinach dip and the shrimp Po Boy. I'm a lamb chop lover so the next time, I'm definitely getting those! Service has always been solid and the three hour free parking with validation is definitely a nice touch! Please support this New Carrollton hidden gem and let's put New Carrollton on the map!!

I grabbed a quick lunch at this place with a co-worker while on a business trip. We both ordered…read morethe Jamaican Curry Bowl which was the perfect meal for a busy work day. It's a generous serving of Basmati rice with chicken (one can choose shrimp too) smothered in this flavorful curry sauce. The interior is comfortable with lots of choices for seating. We opted for a high top as it provided access to an outlet to recharge our laptop. For sure, I will be back to try other menu items when I'm back in the area.

I went to Franklins for a fundraiser event and it was an amazing experience. The last time I went…read morehere with my family was many years ago and it was just ok. Since then, this place was renovated and it's nicely decorated in every section and the bathrooms are clean. They've added an ice cream section with lots to choose from. The menu is very impressive with a good selection for vegetarian and gluten free options and everything looks delicious. The group I went with this time was from my church and everyone loved what they ordered. The owner of the restaurant stopped by our table and introduced himself. He was very friendly and so was the waitress and the host. I ordered a Ruben, and Moroccan lamb sliders to go. Both were delicious! Then we went to the ice cream shop, quite a treat. The following day I went back with my grandson and had more time to browse around. I ordered the beet salad with goat cheese and my grandson had the confit duck leg with lentils, carrots with citrus demi glaze. We both really enjoyed our dinner. The shop had some very unique items and some hilarious objects. There's even a section where they sell wine and beer. This is definitely an unusual and fun place to visit. I highly recommend.

Followed my friend's way of eating them and used a fork and knife haha. Ordered a chicken sandwich too and it was delicious. Ask for extra sauce cause I found it a little dry but overall tasted great. Our server was really nice and friendly too. After eating, we went downstairs for some ice cream and I got the super chonk flavor (malted vanilla ice cream, fudge, peanut butter, brownie pieces). It hit the spot, tasted like real premium ice cream. Glad to have checked this spot out. I liked the family friendly ambiance and can tell it's an important part of the community.

I had a great first experience during their happy hour service at the Bar. The bartender, Mela…read more(spell check) offered great service and friendly energy. We tried the bread service as a starter. I think the bread had a soft inside texture but too hard on the exterior. 5/10. We tried two of their bar bites: Sautéed shrimp (5/10) and General Tso Chicken Skewers (7/10). I think the shrimp sauce was bland and the chicken was a fried chicken tender + sauce. We had the Chicken Ceasar salad (8/10) and Braised Short ribs (8/10). The salad was a standard salad and the short ribs were tender. I enjoyed the short ribs with the mashed potatoes and substituted the brussel sprouts with broccoli. I think the broccoli could've been seasoned to improve. We both had two of their $10 specialty cocktails. Both were excellent.

During happy hour Mon - Fri from 3pm -7pm which features $6 drinks, $10 martinis and $7 bar bites so of course it can be hard to find a seat. I've had their Harvest Bowl too many times to count. It's super healthy with roasted butternut squash, brussels sprouts, veggies, goat cheese on top of broccoli rice & quinoa with your choice of protein. I have it with both blackened shrimp and chicken before and can't decide my favorite. The General Tso's Cauliflower and Firecracker Shrimp are awesome starters. Following the recommendation of the bartender Will, I decided to switch it up and go with the Short Rib Grilled Cheese. It's a hearty, well seasoned and straight up juicy sandwich. I cannot wait to switch it up again and explore the rest of the menu!

Silver Diner is located in a convenient shopping area with plenty of parking, which already makes…read moreit an easy and stress-free spot to visit. From the outside, it has that classic, full-fledged American diner look and once you walk in, it absolutely delivers on that vibe. The place is clean, welcoming, and has a really nice atmosphere. As soon as we entered, the greeter was friendly and quickly got us seated in a booth. The staff overall was very welcoming and attentive throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. The menu has a ton of options, so there's something for everyone. For our meal, we ordered the French toast and the shrimp and grits, and for an appetizer, we tried the spinach rolls which were honestly fantastic and a standout item. Everything we had was flavorful and satisfying. There was a small mix-up with my drink, I ordered orange juice but received apple juice instead but it wasn't a big deal, and everything else came out great. The diner also offers a variety of beverages, including alcoholic options, coffee, hot chocolate, and more, though we stuck with breakfast drinks this time. Pricing can be a bit on the higher side depending on what you order. For two people, our breakfast came out to around $68, but considering the quality of the food, service, and overall experience, it felt worth it. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed our breakfast here. Between the atmosphere, the food, and the friendly staff, I'd definitely come back again. 4 out of 5 stars!

Lanham, MD isn't exactly a destination dining city, so stumbling onto Silver Diner and going back a…read moresecond time tells you something. We hit it twice during a recent trip: once for breakfast, and once for dinner. Both times, the menu range stopped us in our tracks. This isn't a laminated-two-pager situation. There's real variety here, and it's executed with a level of care that genuinely surprised me. Portion sizes are exactly where they should be (not the grotesque American overload, not the pretentious undersell) and the flavors are consistently on point. The one exception: my other half felt her breakfast potatoes were a little flat, with bland seasoning and a texture that wasn't quite there. A minor thing, but worth noting because everything else around it cleared a higher bar. For breakfast, the coffee was ok, though I suspect ours had been sitting too long. Not a dealbreaker, but a place this dialed-in should probably be more attentive to that detail. Value is where Silver Diner arguably embarrasses its competition. The price-to-quality ratio is legitimately hard to explain. Where else do you get this kind of menu variety, this level of execution, and walk out without wincing at the bill? Whoever runs this chain is paying attention to the details and clearly cares about making an impression, and it shows in almost every aspect of the operation, including a noticeably clean dining room. That said, the staff was somewhat of a letdown. They're efficient, sure, but warm they are not. The payment handoff in particular felt oddly transactional...they simply extended the payment device across the table. It's a small thing that lands wrong when the rest of the experience is so clearly intentional. I find it hard to square how much attention goes into the food and environment, and how little seems to go into making guests feel like the staff actually wants to be there. All in all, if Silver Diner ever opens in the Pacific Northwest, I'll be in line before the doors open, and I suspect half of the Seattle area would join me. Go. Absolutely worth your time if you want some low-priced quality, casual food.

I called to order pickup, and the service was nice and friendly. Also, the spot is very reliable, as it's open until midnight and roughly 16 hours of the day, serving many different options, from fast food to comfort food. I ordered the combo over rice ($13), the Philly cheesesteak combo with French fries and lemonade ($15.49), five wings with one waffle ($13.49), and a carrot cake slice ($4). - The fried chicken wings were alright for your typical fast food chicken. - Waffle was decent: it was soft & fluffy. - The combo over rice was solid, and I liked the chicken the most. - Philly cheesesteak was okay and would've been even better if it had provolone instead of the cheese whiz. - French fries were solid: they were crispy with some seasoning on them. - The house-made lemonade was alright, and I would be open to getting it again. - The carrot cake isn't anything crazy, it's alright, but I do appreciate the $4 price tag cause others would charge double or more for a slice. Overall, the spot does a good job with fair pricing, fast comfort food, and reliable hours. I'd come back and recommend.

My mom even approved with a thumbs up with no eye contact as she was quickly half way through her amala and ilaasepo meal. I wish this spot was restaurant style, there are only three high bar tables and six chairs. It's a carryout. I was not greeted when we walked in however the lady behind the glass was working. When she acknowledged us she asked to take our order. Then she called another lady to finish taking the order who was Nigerian. The lady was nice and got the order quickly. Our order was pretty big because I wanted my whole family to try this place out with me to see if it was as authentic as people are saying. I ordered Amala , ewedu and gbegiri. The amala was hot and made well along with the Pepe and ewedu , so sweet and tasty my mouth and taste buds were truly pleased, however the gbegiri was not good. It was thick and tasteless, which was a minor set back to an otherwise great tasting meal. My food was so good I had to plate in correctly using glassware! Naija food is a bit heavy for me so I cannot eat it everyday but this may become my once a week nostalgic treat as I learn to make these meals myself. I approve and they lived up to the hype.
