Their Musubi tastes like it's freshly made. The spam is hot. It also comes with eggs for a nice "breakfast" touch. The avocado takes some guilt away with the healthy fats and fiber.

We came across First Watch looking for a new place for brunch. The service was pretty great. We…read morewere greeted with a warm welcome and seated immediately by the hostess. Our server was friendly and had great knowledge of the menu. Now on to the food. We decided to go with the Chicken Pesto Bowl and Biscuits with Gravy and Egg. The chicken pesto bowl is a good idea for a healthy option but the flavors needs some work. The lemon flavor was too strong and the pesto did not really come through. Entire entree needed more salt. The biscuit was flaky and light which was awesome. The gravy was a little bland even though it had turkey sausage. The eggs and potatoes were well prepared which made the entree worth it. Overall this place is probably a 3.5 star overall and not a bad option for brunch.

They are located minutes away from Fair Oaks Mall, with plenty of parking. They are open for breakfast until late for dine-in, carryout and delivery. When we walked in for breakfast, the place was busy, but we got seated right away. The tables had those mini jukebox machine. It's a 50's diner theme, except for staff's uniform. The staff was friendly but not as attentive especially once we had our food. Mocha Banana Cold Brew - Caramelized banana mix, chocolate, vanilla extract, milk, cold oat foam. Way too sweet for me! What was I thinking?! I ended up ordering a plain cold brew and mixed most of it to the drink to tame the sweetness. Other than this, it was a nice drink. Fried Pickle-Brined Chicken & Waffle - Breaded boneless chicken (halal), pecan waffle, cherry pepper honey, sausage gravy and syrup. Chicken was nice and tender. Chicken & Waffle is all about that combo taste of sweet and savory! Good dish! (Found in the Every Day Brunch section) Oaxaca (wah-haw-kah) - Oaxaca-black bean salsa, pepper jack, salsa roja, cilantro, guacamole, whole wheat toast. I like this dish very much. It was flavorful!

I normally try to find any way possible to compliment…read moreand support a business, but very unfortunately dinner this evening really missed the mark in terms of food quality. The bright spot was our pleasant and knowledgeable waitress! I ordered the fish and chips - now I know that the Silver Diner is not a seafood restaurant, but the reality in my opinion is that fish and chips is an easy dish to make. I have enjoyed fish and chips at more restaurants than I can count, including some of the world's finest seafood on a recent trip to Iceland. My fish at the Silver Diner had the thickest and most dense breading that I have ever had! It was terrible to me. There was nothing about the breading that was light - it was way too thick, too glutinous, and the fish was substantially overcooked to the point of being dry. The fish and chips were served with a cup of chicken soup which was mediocre at best - under seasoned. We did start dinner with an appetizer of fried shrimp seasoned with a bit of Old Bay. It actually tasted very good but again the shrimp were very sadly overcooked which made them tough and chewy. So the food is definitely not for me, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a discerning taste. I also consider the food here very expensive relative to some other nearby restaurants that provide some truly great food at a much better price point.

The ingredients were fresh and much better than you would get at a chain restaurant. The loaded fries were filling and delicious too! I also appreciated that my well-done burger was juicy, but wasn't greasy. My husband and I will definitely be back the next time we're craving a quality burger and fries!

I needed something on my stomach and order a cheeseburger, minus the cheese and mayo. It's served on a brioche bun that wasn't the freshest, but I always eat around bread on a burger, so it was no biggy. As for the burger, it was fantastic. Cooked to order. This is a burger shack. There's not much seating and zero ambiance. Their menu looks interesting, and the fact that the cook to your preference makes this way better than chain options.

They are our favorite restaurants in Northern Virginia. The menu varies a little from one restaurant to the next, but every restaurant has a relatively broad menu from salads to sandwiches to chicken and seafood and steak entrees. All are prepared fresh and to your liking. If you ever have a meal that isn't perfect, let your server know and they will fix it. Some of the favorite meals we consistently order are chop house salad, Caesar salad, crab cakes, blackened prime rib, chicken and salmon. The prices are getting a little higher, but the value is still very good for the quality and quantity of food provided.
