    Power Breakfast
    Amy S.

    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.

    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.

    Sat the bar which is self-sitting. I didn't order any alcoholic beverages. I ordered the crab cake platter which was about $35. It was very good and the Cole Slaw mix had corn it in; sounds odd but it was good! Service was decent and restaurant was clean.

    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.

    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.

    All the sauces!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Compare these "airplane crabcakes" , to what I got.
    Alan C.

    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.....

    Patty Melt with fries!
    Jeff R.

    Ate lunch here while we waited on our flight. Very busy but the service was good. My patty melt was delicious and the fries were crispy. I would definitely recommend that patty melt. One of the best I have eaten.

    Hot coffee starts the morning!
    Susan S.

    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.

    I've recently started working in the area and they are supper close thus I decided to try them out…read more I was very excited when I saw it was Korean owned however their K-food section is only two items; Bulgogi Dupbap & the Bulgogi Sub. The rest of the menu is American stuff. I've as of now tried both of these and very content with the taste and filling of these two, the price is reasonable per the portion and yummyness($12.49) plus tax about $13.25. The only thing I would change a bit is making sure that the juice from the bulgogi doesn't soak the bread too much cuz then it's mushy. I like a crunchy texture to my subs, but the may be just my preference. Both the son and the mom are super nice, if you become a regular it's very nice to have people know what you want right away. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. I hope that they can incorporate more korean food to their menu, at least 2 more that have a different protein so we have a bit more variety. Though I understand why the options for kfood are limited given the area's population. Things to keep in mind: - When you order let them know if you want it to go or to eat there. Nobody can read minds, but they will do their best to ask you prior to packaging to confirm. - It can get busy so sometimes transaction may take longer because people are multitasking. - - - Don't rip out the receipt, you might be taking the wrong copy. Wait for the cashier to hand it to you or simply ask. -If you have questions about a product, ask them and don't assume. Yes. There is a big menu and pamphlets available and they provide brief item description but if that's not clear, just ask. They also have prepackaged salads, fruit and a few sweet treats, along with MissVickies chips, and bottle drinks. It's a cafe so the basics. Overall, really nice experience. Tots recommended :3

    Solid Experience, But I Miss the Old Owner…read more Café on the Square is a reliable spot with decent food and a cozy atmosphere. The service was good, and the dishes were tasty, but nothing that really stood out. That being said, I miss the old owner--there was something special about his presence that made every visit feel more welcoming and personal. I hope the new management keeps things moving in the right direction. I'll definitely return, but it's just not quite the same without the old vibe.

A few minutes later, a lovely young woman (I think she said she was a manager) came out and discussed the list with my sister in detail, just to make sure the restaurant got it exactly right. My sister almost cried! As far as timing goes: They don't take reservations, but they have an efficient system -- when you arrive, they take down your name and phone number, tell you how long the wait will be, and then text you when it's your turn. They told us 40 minutes but it turned out to be only 20, so it's good we hadn't wandered too far away. Next time we're in Baltimore, we'll definitely be back.

Spousal Unit and I took the voracious pack o' GrandKiddies for breakfast after a Wicked-good night on the town in Bawlmer, hon. So we had to cart them all to Blue Moon! Blue Moon was featured on Guy Fieri's DDD show, making it (and it's second location, Blue Moon Too) insanely popular. As a result, it's always busy, and because of it's size, there is no space to wait inside until a table is ready. For a person with knee issues, that meant painfully climbing up and down the steps more than a few times (and did I mention is was windy and cold?). Once inside, it's a quirky place, with interesting art work everywhere - but the main draw is the food. Ah, the food... Blue Moon is well known for it's Sweet Baby Jesus (Hash browns topped with jumbo lump crab, seasoned with Old Bay, fresh diced tomatoes, melted cheddar cheese, 2 eggs and Hollandaise) and Captain Crunch French Toast (crushed Captain Crunch cereal encrusted French toast topped with fresh fruit and cream, served with syrup on the side). They also make a killer Biscuits and Sausage Gravy sized to feed an army, and a wide variety of pancakes, omelettes, and sandwiches. Our vultures overordered (did I say they were hungry?) but left not a scrap of food on their plates, a small wonder given that they are not adventurous eaters. Everything was beautifully cooked, promptly served, and delicious. Our server was a wisecracking joy - friendly, knowledgeable, and really efficient. She provided needed distractions as our GKs gnawed the table waiting for food to arrive. Way cool! Spousal Unit and I have eaten at Blue Moon Too in the past. It's comforting to experience the same joy at each location. Really, really recommend stopping in at eather (see what I did there?) location when you're in town. You will leave with a smile on your face and full belly!
