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

We are traveling cross country and had an 8 hour layover In Baltimore. We didn't want a fast food stop, as we wanted to sit and kill some time, and my husband was drawn to the aesthetic of this place. We are very glad we came in! Our server, Madison, was courteous-- which we appreciated due to the stress of the holiday season--and my food was genuinely really tasty. Very pleased with this spot to eat and we recommend it to anyone at this airport. 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

Cute retro diner with all day breakfast, milkshakes, and a variety of apps, handhelds, and entrees. I ordered the crab cake sandwich which came with tartar sauce, slaw, and old bay fries. The sandwich was good but squished down when eating it so at times it seemed like 90% bun to 10% crab cake. The shoestring fries were great though! My waitress, Selena, was fantastic too. She came over quickly to take my order and food came out quick as well. She checked on me a few times as well. I'd come back here and next time I'd love to get a burger and a milkshake. read more

After a long night at the playoff game, we needed a serious pick-me-up before heading home. Silver Diner seemed like the perfect spot to refuel. For breakfast, I went with the Creekstone Farms Flat Iron Steak & Eggs, while my husband had French Toast with eggs and bacon. Let's just say, you get your money's worth here. My meal was spot-on--eggs over easy, steak cooked to a perfect medium-rare, and well-seasoned. My husband's French toast had just the right amount of vanilla (an ingredient many places forget or skimp on), his eggs were perfectly scrambled, and as for the bacon--well, if you mess that up, you shouldn't own a restaurant. Fun fact: This place is a local gem, sourcing its ingredients locally--even at the airport. The only downside? Service could use improvement. Despite plenty of staff on duty, we barely saw our waitress. But for airport food, it was a solid experience! read more

Flight delayed and hungry a few days before Christmas. Didn't feel like walking too far so settled on coming here. The place looks like your typical diner. They weren't too busy but everyone was friendly and service was fairly quick. I wanted something warm so decided on the chicken noodle soup. It was pretty good and came with some crackers. They had multiple games playing on the TV's at the bar so also a good place to come and watch games while you are waiting for your flight. Decent sit down restaurant at the airport to try. read more

Silver Diner - Chicken noodle soup - Diners Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

We just landed in Baltimore with a roughly 3 hrs layover and we're starving so it was a relief to come across the Silver Diner right away. A sit down restaurant with good music and sports at the bar in that old nostalgic diner feel. It was a good experience just rather wish the food had been a bit better. Mom and I ordered two sandwiches and an appetizer: the Cheeseburger with a sub of Impossible burger for me, the grilled cheese and tomato soup for mom and the crab sliders to split. Let's start with the sliders, it's a flight of three sliders with a side of coleslaw and a chipotle mayo (mom said there was a kick but I didn't taste that.). It's Maryland so naturally we had to have something with crab. The sliders were decent, definitely needed the kick of the mayo but I'm a little surprised with how sparse the toppings were (a continued theme). The pico de gallo was actually really good! But it was such a tiny spoonful on the slider it was buried entirely until you took the sandwich apart. A shame, I think it would have benefited a lot more with a healthier portion with the smashed avocado. A word of warning though, these sliders come with their own set of fries so if you're on the fence about getting your main course with fries or something else, keep this in mind! Unless you love lots of fries than you have double. The cheeseburger with the impossible patty was something I was super excited about, I truly didn't expect to see the option outside of the west coast so being able to share part of my sandwich with my mom was great. At least it would have been had there been more to the burger (and I really do use that term lightly here). A few sprigs of either lettuce or arugula and a sliver of a tomato, whatever condiment had been on the sandwich was anyone's guess since it didn't add anything to it. The patty needed salt and pepper, first and foremost, it also benefitted from the slivers of pickles provided on the side but more so the ranch I ordered for the fries (and the mayo from the sliders, that had lots of uses!). Seasoning on the patty, an abundance of lettuce and some thicker sliced tomatoes would have made this so much better. Also cheese? No idea where that was. The last item was mom's grilled cheese and tomato soup. The soup was actually tomato basil, the most perfect rendition of a tomato soup as you all know, and did not disappoint. Smooth and flavorful, still needed a pinch of salt and pepper but it was lovely. The grilled cheese on its own was equally good, that sought after warm hug in a sandwich that brings comfort and peace. Together I thought the soup overpowered the sandwich to the point you can only taste the soup but mom disagreed, and said it was a good dish. Mom's pro tip: pull the sandwich apart and you have double the dipping bread! All things considered, this was a good place to sit and rest after a long flight with food that's uncomplicated. And when you're starving and have a sensitive stomach, that's really the most important thing. read more

Really good food and service, especially for in the airport. The prices were decent too, again for being in the airport, but also a sit down place. Our server brought our son's drink out right away, as well as his food, which we really appreciated. The milkshakes are delicious and I highly recommend. It was a bit loud, but again, it's a sit-down restaurant in the airport, so to be expected. I would definitely eat here again when visiting this airport. read more

We had a layover at BWI on a Monday night. We walked around the entire airport before we decided to eat at the Silver diner. We did have to wait a little while for the hostess to return and seat us, but she was very nice and sat us in a booth. I must say that I really enjoyed that they had jukeboxes on the tables. Our waiter, Steven, came to our table almost immediately after we were seated and asked us if we had ever been there before. When we told him that we had not,, he let us know everything about the menu and asked if we had any questions before he took our drink order. I must say I was pretty impressed with the service for an airport restaurant. we ordered our drinks and he brought them back within a few minutes and took our order. I ordered the cheesesteak and my wife ordered a pickle fried chicken sandwich. The cheesesteak was really good and the bread tasted like Philly bread. The chicken sandwich that my wife had was very tender. The fries that we both got looked like they were hand cut. We didn't feel rushed to leave at any point. We have another layover coming up in a few weeks and will probably go back here to eat. They do all day breakfast, so I may try that. I like that the menu has the local farms that the food was sourced from n it. Definitely not what you would expect at an airport restaurant. The only downside for us is that we were sitting next to people who were playing music loudly on their phones. They had their jukebox going, and the music playing videos loudly so it almost became unbearable. I know that has nothing to do with the restaurant, so just be aware, it can get pretty loud in here. read more

The Silver Diner has been a dining spot for my brother and I on our two layovers at B.M.W. This should be expected since, I am a fan of diners. The Silver Diner is located in the heart of the main terminal near the food court, baggage claim exit, and in the center of the three Concourses. The Silver Diner is both modern and a Diner vibe. This makes waiting for the food and eating it enjoyable. Our table that overlooked the Concourse had a jukebox. Coincidentally it was the same table as last time. Back in the 1980s and 1990s when I visited diners, each table featured a jukebox. At these Long Island diners, the patron put in a quarter to hear the song of their choice. Here, it was hard to tell if they were mostly for show. At any rate, I enjoyed the oldies soundtrack playing on their soundsystem that included oldies such as "Think," "Light My Fire," "My Girl," "Skooby Doo (Where are you?)," and more. Whether or not, the juke box was genuine, it's phone chargers were. It was nice to recharge the phone while dining. Just like last time, I ordered the crab cake sandwich. It included lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce with Old Bay Crispy fries and cole slaw. Here the dirty word "inflation" shows up. The price of the sandwich is now $20.99. Considering that B.W.I. is near Chesapeake Bay, it made sense to order something that came from the nearby waters. The sandwich was equally as legendary as the oldies playing. With it, I ordered a Coke for $3.59. The funny thing about their crab cake sandwich is that a Coke actually takes away from the meal. It's as if I ordered a water at zero cost that I can relate to the crab coming from this clear Chesapeake Bay water. A Coke looked like dirty water. Where the crab was the protagonist of the airport dining adventure, a mouse was the enemy. I don't like writing negative things about a Diner that I feel provides a positive dining experience to the airport. However, I write my reviews from real experiences. Towards the end of the meal when I was fortunate enough to have finished a meal, we saw a mouse run from the kitchen wall area to the booth under the table across from us. It was real. Now, it is unclear if the mouse came from the kitchen, came from another part of the airport and passed through or near the kitchen, or if there is a mouse problem in the airport. All I can say is that my brother and I saw a mouse. This leads to the question of cleaniness. Both times that we dined here, the diner and dinnerware appeared to be clean. As far as the service, no complaints. Our Waitress was attentive and professional. We did not feel rushed. I like the Silver Diner. Unfortunately the mouse incident has led to a star deduction. Again, whether or not it came from the kitchen or was passing through the airport, the mouse was a negative part of our Silver Diner experience. For the record, a lot of Yelpers would be far less generous than me by giving it one star. When I took into account the food, atmosphere, choices of food, and enjoyable place to dine in the airport; I have bestowed the Silver Diner with three stars. To be honest, I could see myself returning to the Silver Diner. read more

I love the Silver Diner. As vegans it has provided a haven for us when our flights go awry. We left Phoenix at 6 am - here I am at 8:00 pm and we still have another flight and a car rental just to get to Cincinnati. And thank you Silver Diner for still offering vegan options - it's been a long day and this place feels like home. Our vegan options were limited, but many places have none. Love the vegan breakfast tacos. My only complaints were the food was not hot when we got it and the accompanying salad was not fresh. Some brown and wilted lettuce. The guacamole was surprisingly tasteless. The last three times we came here though, that was not our experience, so we will be back and maybe next time food will be back to pre pandemic quality. read more

I had had a handful of long enough layovers that I have time to dine in here. In the past 3 years I've probably eaten here 4 times. Which doesn't sound like a lot, but this truly is my go to place when I have a layover long enough to sit down and actually have a meal instead of just grabbing something quick on the way through. The service and quality of food is consistent. I like that when I have carry on I can roll it under the table so that is out of the way and I don't have to settle for one of the fast food alternatives. Most recently I had the Local Burrata Bruschetta. I regularly order bruschetta when dining out, it's one of my favorite appetizers. Theirs is very good, and I will likely order it again the next time I'm passing through. The portion is very generous, and could easily have been a light meal on its own, or shared with a friend. I was traveling solo, so I enjoyed as much as I could handle without making myself miserable before boarding my next flight! I also ordered the Kickin' Crab and Corn Chowder. The bowl is a reasonable sized portion and price. It was very creamy and overall had spectacular flavor. read more

Wanted a "real meal" before a coast to coast flight. This was a diner with a bar, not a bar with some bar food. I had the crab and corn chowder and the crab cake sandwich. Both were great. I always appreciate a good bowl of soup, and extra credit for a regional specialty with crab in this case. Service was prompt but not pesky and when it was time she cashed me out quickly. Very good ambience for an airport location. read more

Was recommended this place by a friend and had a few hours to kill so decided to try it. I was seated very quickly. The waitress took my order and less than 10 minutes later I received my food. The pancakes were very cakey and reminded me muffins. The eggs were cooked to perfection and not too much salt or butter was used so it was delicious. The sausage was overcooked and did not taste very good, hence the 4 stars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They play wonderful music and it really does feel like you've gone back in time to a diner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely come here again if I'm ever in the area. read more

Silver Diner - Heart Breakfast! - Diners Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I know airport eateries aren't known for much other than being over priced and featuring bad service. I was hopeful that The Silver Diner was going to be different after reading some reviews. (This happened Saturday 10/12/24 approx 1pm). It wasn't crazy busy as I got to the line waiting to be seated, but the very late middle-aged man who was in charge of seating felt no urgency whatsoever. He took his time and wasn't very friendly. I finally got seated and noticed immediately that the "host" seated 6 tables in one area. By the time he told the server, 3 parties had already been waiting an unacceptable amount of time. THEN I heard him laughing about having set the server up to fail. I got up and left. As a former server I was appalled. As a prospective customer I was disgusted. read more

This was a total Bust. Went for breakfast; food was cold (I mean cold!). Asked twice for Ranch dressing finally received after the meal, no napkins, so finally went to the bus station and got myself. Waiter was slow, waited 10 mins for the check and the restaurant wasn't even busy. Waiter was pleasant so that made up for some of the rest. I use BWI a lot but will probably avoid this restaurant in the future. read more

I've eaten here twice and both times have been underwhelming to say the least. Don't think there will be a third unless they close ALL the other restaurants in this terminal. I was seriously contemplating leaving when waiting 10 minutes at my table for the waiter. I should have. But an omelet sounded good and I thought I would give a second chance. He finally arrived and acted like I was bothering him when he was taking the order. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet and a water. I ended up with a skimpy luke warm ham&cheese omelet, it came with some type of dried cold potatoes and an extremely dry biscuit. The so called meal arrived before the water. To top it off they were not even busy. Now I know why. Big mistake stopping here. Should have gone to one of the fast foods spots. Oh well I gave a second chance but there will not be a third. read more

We had always bypassed this restaurant for the airplane motif one. Which is unfortunate. Because we always leave there disappointed. Just enjoy the furniture. But from start to finish, this was a great experience. We were greeted and sat from the moment we walked up. And there were two parties in front of us. They made it happen quickly. Michael greeted us at the table shortly after we sat down, with a welcoming smile. He was attentive and helpful and he was hustling. He greeted everyone professionally and politely. They have a 50's vibe going on. Personal jukeboxes on the tables and many of them have charging stations. You can pick from many options at no price and they play them in the order they were received. Great options too. The burrata was awesome. Soft and creamy. They served it lots of chopped tomatoes that have been tossed with oil, balsalmic and basil and sour dough toast. Nice touch! I love different plays on caprese. It is definitely my comfort food. We ordered the chicken picatta. Cooked perfectly and the chicken was really good quality. We're from Arizona, and we find it hard to find good chicken. So thank you for not ordering the highly processed and injected stuff. read more

Had a ton of time to kill before a flight so my mom, my daughter, and I decided to eat here. I got the hearty breakfast which consisted of 2 eggs, home fries, sausage, bacon, and a biscuit. The home fries weren't hot nor were they crispy. It reminded me of undercooked roasted potatoes that you'd eat for dinner. The eggs, bacon, and biscuit were good. But that sausage. Omg that sausage was to die for! I don't know what kind of sausage they use but it was delicious. Service was as expected for an airport diner lol. Same with the prices. Overall it wasn't a bad experience. read more

I visited the Silver Diner at BWI airport last week after walking past it about a million times. The seating system was...incomprehensible? There was a long line and wait for tables, but the staff member at the host stand said we could just sit at the bar. There were plenty of empty tables, so maybe they didn't have enough staff to man the tables but did have enough to man the bar and the kitchen? Anyway, we sat at the bar to avoid the wait. The menu was weirdly undinerlike. I was expecting simple diner food classics, but they tried to make a fancier menu with more complicated and modern dishes. I'd rather they had stuck closer to a classic diner. However, I did order one of the classic diner dishes, which was good (eggs, bacon, sausage, toast). I'd rather it had been a bit smaller (maybe one protein) and so a little less expensive and less food, but it was cooked fine (and my eggs were over easy as I asked for)! The service at the bar was pretty good - our server was friendly and helpful. I wouldn't say the food came out fast, so I wouldn't go if you're in a rush, but we had time, so we were good. I guess it's an all right place, but I'd probably rather get something on the go than eat at Silver Diner in the future. read more

Absolutely terrific airport restaurant meal! I ordered fish tacos and they were as good as any I've had in a restaurant. The side salad was a nice touch with very fresh fruit. The main downside to the Silver Diner in BWI is that service can be very slow. I'm sure it's a staffing issue. Come if you have time to sit and relax, but not if you need to eat and go. Fortunately we were in the former camp and found it a pleasant place to wait for our flight. read more
