A diner in an airport?!?! I usually fly out of Terminal D, but this trip we departed from Terminal B, so we figured, why not give it a try? I asked our server, Rose, what she recommended, and she immediately raved about the bruschetta, saying it was the best she'd ever had and not just because she worked there. Funny enough, she wasn't wrong. It was honestly the best bruschetta I've ever had. Taking her advice, we also ordered the Ranchero and the Double Penne Pasta. Both dishes were beautifully presented and absolutely delivered on flavor. What really made the experience stand out, though, was Rose's service. One thing my husband especially appreciated was that she made it clear we could take our time deciding. She wasn't rushing us at all she simply let us know she was available whenever we were ready. It was such a thoughtful approach. As a parent, I also noticed the little things. Rose asked our children to remove the lids from their cups so she wouldn't have to touch their straws. Such a small gesture, but incredibly mindful. By the end of the meal, we were completely stuffed, but Rose convinced us to take a shake for the road. She even brought four straws so the whole family could share just one shake. Great food, exceptional service, and none of the slow pace you'd typically expect from a diner. We left genuinely impressed and completely WOW'd! read more

No ma'am! The restaurant's airport location is convenient, and the space itself was clean and well-maintained. Unfortunately, the food was a major disappointment. I ordered the lemon salmon with French fries and garlic spinach. While the spinach tasted fresh and the garlic was minced perfectly, the amount of salt was offensive so much so that it was genuinely difficult to eat. The salmon appeared to have been previously frozen and was extremely dry. As for the service, I wish I could provide more details, but our waiter was nowhere to be found whenever I needed assistance. Between the overly salty food, dry salmon, and lack of service, this was not an enjoyable dining experience. read more

My wife and often fly Southwest. That being the case, we were making a connection in Baltimore on May 31st. Since we had a two hour layover, we thought to have dinner at the Silver Diner, an establishment we often patronize. Since we saw no "Seat Yourself" or "Wait for Hostess" sign, we walked in and started to take a table. The bartender leaned over and said, "Those tables are no longer available." Okay, no worries. I asked her if a hostess was available to seat us then. She said no. Then I said, "So, we're supposed to just guess then?" She just laughed and said nothing. So, I told my wife, "We're not eating here." This happened at about 8:30. At a little after nine, I saw two traffic cones. Too late, Silver Diner. While you'll stay in business, I'm sure, you'll never see us again. UPDATE: Rob from Customer Relations contacted me in a very timely fashion. I appreciate the stand-up response. read more

I stopped in for lunch before my flight on 6/11/26. I was promptly greeted and provided a menu. I ordered the burger sliders with veggies on the side. I thought the menu said that the burgers would come with fried onions but they did not. Everything tasted great and it was a perfect, quick meal before hopping on the plane. read more

Silver Diner - Baby burgers with veggies - Diners Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Had lunch here while waiting for my flight. Sat at the bar and had great service. Food was good. I wish they would've turned the actual tables faster so I could've sat there instead. I'd eat here again if I have time between flights! read more

Nice spot to dine before flight. I was pleasantly suprised by the quality of the food items. The American Favorite: i chose scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries with caramelized onions, buttermilk biscuit....let me say everything was delicious. The way the biscuit was soft and fell apart was a testament to how good it was. The Guava-mint ginger ale was phenomenal!!! They got us settled and the food was quickly prepared without issue. It has been a while since I've had great service at an airport restaurant. read more

My flight was late, so after going through TSA, this restaurant was right in front of me. I could eat so I popped in to grab some brunch. Although I was seated immediately, It took quite some time for a server to come and introduce themselves to me. I had actually contemplated leaving, when one showed up. I ordered pancakes, eggs and asked her which was the best meat choice. She said bacon so that's what I ordered. Pancakes were not good at all and were a little...... not sure how to explain them, but difficult to cut; so a little tough. There was one good thing they were served with a bottle of warm syrup. However, the pancakes would not absorb the syrup. It just rolled off. The bacon was good, but greasy and I asked for eggs scrambled soft and they were close so I didn't send them back. I ate them. Suffice it to say I would not return, because I was not impressed. I did not take... oh I think I took one picture. read more

This place is busy! The line may seem long, but it moves quickly. Each booth has a jukebox that takes quarters only a true diner experience. I ordered the crab cake platter and everything was delicious, though the tartar sauce was a bit sweeter than I personally like. Overall, it's a great spot to dine if you have a long layover, just keep in mind that service might be a little slower than usual to accommodate the large crowds. read more

Silver Diner - Crab cake platter - Diners Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

. I was honestly excited when I saw a Silver Diner inside the Baltimore Airport because I had eaten twice at the Harbor location in Oxon Hill, MD during vacation and absolutely loved it there. The Harbor location delivered flavorful food, buttery melt-in-your-mouth pancakes, excellent brunch options, and an overall experience that made me intentionally return a second time. Unfortunately, the airport location was a complete disappointment and nowhere near the same quality. The menu options were limited, there was no turkey bacon available, the food arrived cold, and everything lacked flavor. The onions were not caramelized at all, and even the pancakes tasted plain and uninspired compared to the Harbor location. What stood out most was the inconsistency between locations. As someone with a culinary and food service background, it was obvious there are no true standardized recipes or quality controls being followed. It honestly felt like the Harbor location has chefs behind the line while the airport location simply has cooks preparing food as quickly as possible. The service itself was still good and the staff was polite, which is the reason for the second star. But overall, what started as excitement quickly turned into disappointment. Same restaurant name, completely different experience. read more

This place was packed at 7 am on Monday morning. The service was good. She was very pleasant and friendly. This restaurant has the farm to table concept. I ordered the Power Breakfast: Egg whites topped with cremini mushrooms, spinach, roasted tomatoes, feta, turkey bacon, fresh strawberries and fruit, whole wheat toast. Delicious. A great way to start the morning and travel. read more

Silver Diner - Power Breakfast - Diners Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Diner Notes Local Mid-Atlantic chain of restaurants that's been in operation for nearly forty years (ca. 1989), and the currently operate 23 restaurants in the NJ, MD, VA, & DC areas. They're known for their classic American fare using seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients from small, mom-and-pop purveyors. We arrived at this BWI location after a red-eye flight** from Cali and were exhausted and starving. The Good: *I wish I could recall our server's name (wasn't on the receipt fwiw) but she was an older black lady and she was terrific. *Prices were actually fairly reasonable for an airport restaurant. *Crab Omelette was delicious, and I really enjoyed the corn that went with the crab very well. Interesting combo I've never tried before. *Carissa enjoyed her Power Breakfast, which looked more like a salad than a scramble to me, but hey whatever. The Meh: *They have a jukebox at the table, but either I was completely out of it (very possible) or they didn't work properly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Ugly: *I don't know why, but I desperately wanted a beer after that long red-eye flight across the country but got turned down because it "wasn't after six a.m. yet." *pbbbbt* I thought this was America, BROTHERRRRR???!!! 0_O Conclusion: Good breakfast, decent prices, and friendly service. Recommended. **side note: if you can ever avoid doing a red-eye, then seriously don't do it. 10 out of 10 would NOT recommend. read more

We were flying out of the airport on an early morning flight and decided to stop here for some breakfast. It is a very big diner so they can accommodate a lot of people. The hostess was quick with a lot of energy. The menu had a lot of standard breakfast items. I went with the Denver omelet. It had ham, cheese, onions and green peppers. It was a very big omelet. It also came with a biscuit and either home fries or a fruit cup. I went with the home fries because they came with caramelized onions. My husband got pancakes, eggs and bacon. We both enjoyed our meals. read more

Quick and friendly service. Needed some food after spending a little over 2 hours in the security line. Our order was for a couple of burgers and an omelette. The burgers were just average but the omelette was well made. Usually a fan of Silver Diner but the airport pricing didn't match for the quality of the burgers. Can be a busy place with lots of airport traffic so I recommend asking for your bill when your entrees arrive. read more

We decided to go for a big meal prior to our flight across the country, and were SO happy we chose Silver Diner in BWI. First off, our waitress Siobhan was awesome. She was patient and super helpful. We each decided on the hickory smokehouse cheddar burger with sweet potato fries on the side. The burgers were cooked perfectly and the fries were amazing- and how fun Siobhan brought out all the sauces to try! We had a great time. I also got a sundae to go and it was delicious. Highly recommend! Well definitely pop back in here next time we fly out of BWI. read more

You know, I was pretty shocked at how good this place was for airport fare. We decided to eat here during a layover. It was pretty busy and we waited a few minutes to be seated. I did not realize how big this place stretched back and there were many tables and seats. The menu is pretty full of options and we settled for a breakfast, with coffee. At the table there was a cute old school jukebox you could play if you wanted. We both got a coffee and water, it's really solid coffee, and steaming hot. I got the local goat cheese basil balsamic tomatoes omelette that came with fresh fruit and toast. He got the bison huevos rancheros (menu says: crispy whole wheat tortillas, chorizo hash, organic bison, cage free eggs over easy, peppers, salsa Rojas, scallions, cilantro, goat cheese and guac). Generally waffles are my go to for breakfast but I could not pass up goat cheese. My omelette was nicely portioned and filling, there was a proportionate ratio of balsamic and tomatoes to the actual omelette that I could enjoy with every bite. As for his, it was very tasty with a well blend that you could get a little of everything in one bite. We took our time and enjoyed our coffee while we had time to kill during the layover. Definitely a pleasant surprise. read more

This was a great spot to go for breakfast, getting a good meal before our early flight out of BWI. We were brought to a high top table next to the counter area, the table was a good size for two people, likely too small for anything more than the two of us. Coffee was quick to arrive, my only disappointment was they had no French toast available on the day of our visit. Instead I had pancakes and eggs, the pancakes were quite large, and the eggs were perfectly prepared over easy. Coffee was good, service was fast, and pricing was reasonable at about $25 per person all in. Overall, a very good experience for airport breakfast. read more

This place is huge and located at the airport. 50's style diner with table top jukeboxes. Loved the theme. The menu is diverse, so something for everyone. I settled on a Club Sandwich and asked that they only make it a double decker as I always toss that middle piece of bread. The sandwich arrived quickly and was excellent. Nice ratio of ingredients and all tasted fresh. Service was mediocre. read more

I did not expect to find such a great diner at an airport. Silver Diner at Baltimor is a very interesting exception to the typical terminal eateries, with a touch of 50s. Not only the decor was pleasant, but the food was of high quality. I ordered hanger steak which turned out to be tender, flavorful, and all in all comparable to something I have had in high-end steak house. Friendly service, and decent price for the location. read more

My recent experience at the BWI location was a bust. I've been to various locations, but this would be my first where the food and service lacked all around. Service was subpar and the breakfast that I received was even less so. Maybe it's the fact that they're so fast paced, due to the airport clientele, but nah... read more

Well, I'm just going to rip the Band-Aid right off and say it. The airplane food was better.... I had a layover, , and I love a good crabcake. I saw that this place had them. It's Baltimore! What could possibly go wrong? (famous last words... ). I'm seated quickly, I like the fact that it has a good old-fashioned diner vibe. I order the Maryland crabcake platter. The food comes relatively quickly, in addition to the crabcakes, there was a side of fries and coleslaw. The coleslaw tasted good, and the fries were crisp on the outside, and tender in the middle. There was both a tartar sauce, and. An old bay remoulade. In addition to the crabcake, I also used both as a dip for my fries. The sides and the sauces are what save this from being a two star review. Now, let's talk about the crabcakes. They were moist and tender on the inside, but kind of overdone, and tough on the outside. They were seasoned well, but that's the problem. I tasted mostly seasoning and filler, and not that much crab. I was very disappointed I recently flew out of Dulles on United Airlines, and got an upgrade to the front of the plane. The crabcakes on that flight were amazing! Among the best I ever had. And these were "airplane crabcakes!" Food soda, tax and tip, and I was out the door $42 poorer. I don't mind paying extra if it's good food, but In this case, sorry, but it just wasn't. Next time I'm at BWI, I'll just go elsewhere. UPDATE: I did receive a note from the business, inviting me to send them an email to talk about my experience. I sent them a very nice email, explaining my experience and what happened. Guess what? They never bothered to write back to me. Oh well,Too bad, so sad, bye bye..... read more

Food is normally good at SD. But it seems like the dishes on the menu lack the unique options they once had and it is starting to look more like a menu from Denny's. I had a hard time finding something I really wanted but I settled for the triple pickles chicken sandwich. Now price at about 19 bucks!!! It's tasty but also a freaking mess to eat. I ended up chopping it to a chicken salad with my fork and knife. Entree prices are now through the roof, used to be pretty reasonable but they are pricing the working man out. It's going to need to be relabeled as the silver spoon diner if they keep jacking up the prices. Can't say I was thrilled to eat at this popular restaurant where the service is getting dismally slow. Sad to say but the sandwich wasn't even worth taking a picture of. read more

I have tried several restaurants in the BWI airport but this was my first time at the Silver Diner. On this trip I was traveling alone so decided to go somewhere different. I had a huge bowl of crab corn chowder and it was delicious. The menu is extensive, with plenty to choose from and it all looked great. The service was great as well and there is plenty of seating. This Silver Diner is decorated with a retro 50's vibe as they all are and is a great cozy option for a sit down meal while waiting for a flight. read more

This. Whatever this sandwich was was the best sandwich I've ever had. Unfortunately, I had this nearly a year ago between flights and can't remember what it is. Looking at the menu, it seems to be unlike anything they currently have. Absolutely downright incredible. Next time I come, I'll be showing them an image of this sandwich, hoping I can be reminded of which one it is, so I can order it again. read more

Representing 2024 in alphabet series, S is for Silver Diner. I visited BWI Airport & this Silver Diner location in Jan. 2024 before boarding a flight. I had considered eating in the food court, but I also had a deal for Silver Diner on my app I believe. I had plenty of time, so I decided to place an order to go, and I ate in the food court. The staff was nice and helpful. I got a large omelet with steak, mushrooms, & more with potatoes & bread. All of it was great! This is a solid option in BWI. read more

This is the closest I've come to a real meal at an airport with post- 9/11 cooking restrictions. The menu prices are high, but the food is served hot, quick, and in generous portions. It's the comfortable seats, maybe the most comfortable outside the private lounge, that make this place an all-around bargain. The menu revolves around American classics, breakfast served all day, with an emphasis on organic and farm-to-table. The cheaper, grab-and-go options are in a cold case at the front: Sandwiches, juices, fruit parfaits. read more

Silver Diner - Crispy roasted Brussel sprouts - Diners Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Ambience: B+ Costumer Service: B- Price/Value: C Food: B Decent choice, if you need to kill time on long layover and want a substantial meal. Overpriced and simple like all airport food but a better option then other places at BWI. Read bellow for full review: -- Ambience: It is actually pretty cute, a nice break from the airport without leaving the airport. It looks like your traditional old school dinner, complete with juke boxes at each table. It is a bit old in some areas (not old in like vintage, old in like some things need to be repaired. The table each had outlets with USB port which was nice though. Costumer Service: My wait was not rude but he wasn't exactly friendly and asked me if I knew what I wanted to order two seconds after sitting down and then went and got water (less tha a minute) and then yet again asked me if I was ready to order and I noticed the waiter for the other table also being very quick to get the orders. It was a little off putting BUT it is an airport so I am guessing they are trained to hurry and try to get people out. Some other airport restaurants I've been to will ask the coustumers when they need to be out by and gear service accordingly, I think that might be a good idea for them to implement so they aren't rushing people who have a long layover and just want to take a moment to breath and look over the menu Price/Value: It is fast food quality for sit down prices but that's pretty much standard fare at an airport. I will say the portion sizes were decent so if you are hungry you are probably getting better bang for your buck here than some of the fast food stands. If you plan to drink just be aware that a simple cocktail runs about $13, but again - its an airport. Food: It's diner food at an airport, so keep your expectations in check. If you like IHOP or Denny's you'll find the food here fine. I got the omelette, which came with two pieces of thick toast and home fries. It was fine, the home fries were actually pretty well seasoned and an omelet and toast is exactly what it sounds like. I also got an amaretto sour which, again, was fine, but they absolutely use a cheap sour mix which wasn't my favorite. Overall: It's one of the better places to eat at BWI airport, though the best part of it was having somewhere to sit and charge my phone away from the crowd. If you are just trying to get a quick bite, you might be better at the food court Because I ended up paying $36 for an omelette plate and cocktail (though this did include a %20 tip) its not horrible but it wasn't the greatest food for that price. read more

Once again, I know to go in with low expectations when eating at an airport but I'd give this place 5 stars as a stand alone restaurant too! I went here as a recommendation from a seat mate on my first flight because I had a 2 hour layover at BWI until my next flight. She did not miss with this recommendation! There was a small line to wait to be seated, but as soon as I got to the front of the line I was seated. I decided to sit at the bar because I was traveling alone and didn't want to take up a table meant for multiple patrons. The bartender greeted me and gave me a menu. I ordered water and the avocado toast & eggs (scrambled). The menu boasts that their food is fresh & locally sourced. After eating my food, I 100% agree with this advertising. This was one of the best avocado toasts I've ever had. The balsamic glaze mixed with the avocado was perfect. The eggs tasted fresh. The whole experience took under 30 minutes from when I stood in line to be seated to leave after eating. If you have some time before your flight, skip all the fast food chains and come enjoy a sit-down meal at the Silver Diner. I end up at the BWI Airport often, so I know I'll be back here! read more

Early morning long layover in Baltimore/Washington International Airport and decided to stop in to Silver Diner to enjoy a sit down meal. Lo and behold Chef Ype Von Hengst is the co-founder. Two people before me to be seated and the diner was busy but not full. My server, Joscelyn, greeted me nicely and took my order right away. She said my food will be out shortly, and boy, she wasn't kidding. I barely opened up my laptop and started on some work when my meal came out - it was maybe 10 minutes. Loved the crab in the omelette and how they used corn! I never had corn in an omelette and loved it! The potatoes were crisp with just amount of salt and the biscuits were yum. I could have had more if I could. I realized before I was done with the biscuit that I should have asked for honey - next time! Such a cute diner and the staff was attentive. There were 3 servers helping tables around me, so they definitely know how to manage the tables. Wish there was a Silver Diner in my neck of the woods. But if you're coming through BWI and have the time, stop in here and grab a bite! read more

Silver Diner - Avocado toast - Diners Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I good place to get a quick bite to eat while waiting for your flight to depart. Had a hour to kill while gluing out of BWI this morning. I was craving breakfast food and didn't want any fast food. Silver diner is one of restaurants located right at the beginning of concourse B. There as a wait for a table but I was traveling solo and noticed plenty of seats at the bar. After I was seated the bar tender brought over a menu and some water. I wanted a coffee to start me off. They had a few TVs with different sporting events on. The noise level was moderate considering it's near an entrance to a busy terminal. I ordered the buttermilk pancakes that came with eggs and a choice of meat. I chose to have my eggs scrambled with no cheese and bacon. It came out very quickly. I am sure they pride themselves on speed since they are in the airport and most people don't have much time to spare. The food was good and the service was good as well. Sedition one of my preferred places to get breakfast while at the airport. read more
