The minis only for the Happy Hour Food- everything on menu including cocktails were awful!!

Great food, good kid friendly menu items and our server Einar was friendly and attentive. Bonus, vegan and gluten free options as well!

Linea was our server and loved loved loved her personality! My first time here and was not disappointed. Had a tomato and mozzarella sandwich with fries. Very well made and enjoyable. Large portion as well. read more

My wife and I ordered a salad and a flat iron steak. Her chicken on the salad came burnt and dried out. My steak came with mashed potatoes and a side salad. The mashed potatoes very hard and crusty, the side salad came 10 minutes after the entree and the onion straws that came with the meal were soggy. First time I've ever had a side Ceasar salad with tomatoes. The waitress focused on other tables rather than ours once we mentioned there were issues with the food. We drove for 40 minutes to come here because it is one of my wife's favorites. Not sure we will be ever coming back. read more

Silver Diner - Burnt chicken for salad - New American Near Me - Elkridge, Maryland

This place is a no for me the food just wasn't seasoned well at all and came to our table cold. I ordered a crab cake platter and crab soup. Pretty bad it's unfortunate . read more

Dropped in for dinner, seated quickly. Full bar if that's your thing. Lots of vegetarian/vegan items on the menu. Server was quick and efficient. Food cane out quickly as ordered. All is well and I'd return to silver diner. read more

This was my first visit to any silver diner. I ordered the hot wings which were soggy and not crispy like wings should be and a chicken salad which was over 10$ but the portion size was what a 3$ salad would have cost anywhere else. After being seated it took forever and a day for our waiter to come by. I wasn't impressed by this location. read more

So so so diverse in the options. Vegans, meat and potato folks, foodies, and basic bitches with their high maintenance needs all get what they need. And they have booze. read more

Not the worst place but not the best either. Had the waffles and eggs. Everything was cooked ok. The Ham steak is excellent and the biscuits are good too. read more

Great service and meal today. Been looking for a great diner in my area for a while and found one. read more

Enjoyed a very good meal here last week with truly excellent service by our server, Earl. He was knowledgeable about the menu and helpful and attentive throughout our meal. My husband and I were also very impressed with the variety of healthy options on the menu, including a large number of vegetarian and vegan choices (I am a vegetarian). I had the avocado toast, which was tasty, although perhaps a bit strong on the onions, and my husband had the salmon, which he thought was pretty good. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. read more

Food was slow. Took an hr for the food to arrive. Food didn't have much taste. If you're looking for a $12 plate with slow service, here is it. Enjoy. read more

Food made me and my husband sick...very overpriced as well. Food has been hit or miss for awhile but this is the last straw. I called to let them know and was not even offered a refund...we will not be returning. read more

This place has changed so much since I used to go there 10 years ago. I liked it as a greasy diner but now it is even better because of the vegan and gluten free options. The gluten free avocado toast was great. read more

It was our first time dining here and everything was wonderful. On a Saturday night we were seated quickly considering how busy they were. Our waitress Ivy was very friendly and attentive. Food was fresh, hot and plenty of choices for every taste and dietary need. We loved the healthier alternatives and new flavors their menu has to offer. Every single person in our company of 5 enjoyed their meal and drinks. We'll be back to try this diner for brunch! read more

Clean new establishment. The food is really good, and fresh. They have pretty unique uptions for a diner. I have brought 4 different people on separate occasions to try it out with me and been satisfied each time. My favorite is the thixk French toast and mind blowing chicken sausage. Its my new go to. The prices are good, the staff is very professional and curtious, and if there is a mistake they are quick to correct it. The 110% garuntee is true in this place. read more

First and last experience. There are too many restaurants around that get this simple order correct. It's typically a safe order: Grilled chicken Caesar salad hmmm with tomatoes?¿? Well then that no longer makes it a Caesar salad!!! The grilled chicken was dry as ever! I ordered via Door Dash so yeah I could've made a stink etc. and got another delivery but nope instead I'll take my L & my business elsewhere. read more

We have gone to this Diner at least 10 times in the last 2 months, but the cooking staff has not improved at all. The meat is either well done or is raw when it is supposed to be medium. The vegetables that are supposed to be baked are often not cooked correctly. This means everything takes twice long. The servers trying very hard to cover for kitchen's mistakes we've had a lot of free meals at the Silver Diner. The cooking staff needs to be retrained. Also the tables are not cleared in a timely manner. Other than that it's a great experience. read more

A friend and I go out to lunch or dinner about once a month usually at the same 3 or 4 places in Columbia. I recently received an ad in the mail including coupons for this diner and thought it would be a good place to try. So we went last night around 8 pm. A Saturday night. We were seated right away. The menu was very large and we both had trouble deciding what to order but finally made decisions. The service was excellent and so was the food. I got shrimp scampi and he got the turkey platter. They both came with a small salad which was also very good. I only ate half of my meal to save room for dessert. I'll eat the other half tonight. I got the apple pie ala mode which was also excellent. We both liked it enough to go back. read more

I went expecting a greasy spoon and left with my mind blown. Healthy choices like Salmon and grilled vegetables. Friendly and terrific value. Menu is HUGE. Service is friendly and unpretentious. I highly recommend. Will make a point of visiting on a regular basis. read more

It may look like a diner. However, the food is not diner food. The portions are small and over priced. Service was friendly but slow.

My boyfriend and I went here for breakfast last Sunday and it really was amazing service and amazing food. I never write reviews but I felt Melody really deserved a shout out! She was attentive, brought everything on time and even brought the water before we could even ask! We both got brunch items and they were delicious!! We will definitely be back! read more

Two words: CHURRO WAFFLE. The churro waffle was the main reason I've been here twice now in one week. I'm not a huge dessert kind of guy, but this thing was amazing. Not too sweet and the ice cream on top was a perfect touch (though id wish they'd give a little more ice cream lol). The food overall wasn't too bad. I had the kickin short rib burger and it was decent. I would definitely get it again. My friend got the lamb meatball gyro and swears it was the best gyro he's ever had in his life. So I may need to come back again to try it. Overall, the service was a little slow both times I went. The first time I was there it took about 15 minutes for a waiter to even greet us. Typically, I would rate poorly for the service but the churro waffle was just that good. read more

Pros: Good fries and large cup of coffee They have shakes and alcohol. Cons: 1. Don't expect greetings (welcome, have a good evening) from hostesses, they ignored us 2. Long wait on food (22 mins) 3. Hard and dry biscuit, crab cakes are dry. 4. Ordered Maple Chicken sausage and got pork patties 5. Poor waitress looked so unhappy, they carried each drinks and food one at a time, don't seem to have tray to carry foods. 6. The menu geared toward more healthy options like curry tofu; chilli - veggie or turkey (lack of flavour); you get the idea. (Could be pros for some folks). 7. Lack of flavour in food read more

This was my first visit at this Silver Diner location. I was greeted immediately once I entered, and promptly seated. My waitress: Tayyibah was a breath of fresh air. Due to my current digestive issues, Tayyibah suggested a number of menu items that were suitable for me. I enjoyed the customer service experience that I received from Tayyibah. Silver Diner should be proud to have Tayyibah as a member their team. read more

Awful. Can I say it over and over. Zero enthusiasm by waitstaff. Much standing and staring. We watched one plate of food at ready area sit for 5 minutes and move from one side of area to another. In a word: Ridiculousness. read more

Silver Diner - No one working. - New American Near Me - Elkridge, Maryland

My first Silver Diner experience was at a Towson Mall and I've been to the BWI location a couple of times. The best part is that Silver Diner, after 30 years CONTINUES to evolve with menu choices. Farm to table, Vegan, Gluten Free and Halal choices abound. Something for everyone! Our party of four Was promptly seated upon arrival. Sata was our server. She was pleasant, professional and quite the sales person. Drinks came out swiftly. I had a real jones for Diet Coke today. Everyone else had club soda or water. The ladies ordered burgers, built as they pleased per the menu. Us guys also ordered burgers (forgive me for not remembering the items name) topped with slow cooked shortribs in a tangy sauce, bacon, cheese, and crispy fried onions on brioche buns. I cut mine in half; it was a delicious "mess." The accompanying julienne fries were served in paper within a cylindrical substance. Us guys were amazed at this culinary sensations. The ladies enjoyed their burgers and fresh veggie sides. Very impressive reacquainting with a strong 30 year old brand. Please consider returning to Towson or Hunt Valley, Silver Diner! Recommend. read more

Excellent! Pleasantly surprised by this new Silver Diner in Columbia. Went for breakfast and had the Philly Steak Omelette. It was excellent / delicious. Huge portions, perfectly cooked. Potatoes were perfect, as were the sourdough toast and coffee. Service was likewise perfect, prompt, friendly, professional. Server (Natalie) clearly knew the menu and answered questions and made recommendations (appreciate the use of the word "savory" :) The interior of the restaurant is new / clean / beautiful. Has diner styling with an upscale feel. Menu looks awesome... a lot of gourmet type selections most of which sound good. Plus milkshakes... quite a few selections including some healthy choices that I will not make LOL. My difficult sister will appreciate all the gluten free selections, vegetarian, etc. Easy to get to, easy parking, no wait for a table... definitely like that. Looking forward to trying lunch and dinner next. Recommended! read more

6 years ago Silver Diner was my go to!! I was so excited when in returned to the area but boy o boy have things changed! Last night was my final visit. For the prices that are being charged, the product received just isn't up to par. 2 take out orders 2 weeks apart, $53 ish and into the trash it went. Fish and chips was disgusting! I had never seen fish and chips look so gross in my life! The cole slaw was aweful, the crab soup looked like slop! Ugh! Well done burger was still mooing! Unfortunate. Time to move on! read more

I can't see this place lasting for much longer. First of all the crowd is basically 60+. The staff is ridiculously slow and not at all real servers. I'm a server and I just thought it was atrocious what was going on with the staff here. I understand this is a new restaurant but there's still something called basic customer service. The omelettes look crappy, the Belgian waffles are served cold and soooo bland. I had the French toast but it wasn't toasted enough, too big of a serving in my opinion, and was room temp. The coffee is also piping hot. You have to put ice cubes in it otherwise you cannot possibly drink it. Breakfast food is supposed to be on the faster side but this isn't the case here. Never coming back here. read more

Geeetibgs, Silver Diner can use some work in Elkridge Md, starting with some leadership. Many places make mistakes however, not most of the time. Putting managers in places who look too redirect employees is a key, not make situation worse. Rockville Md gives a touch of welcome, as I would like from Elkridge. Thank you. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants to frequent, so I decided to finally post a review. I went with some family and requested our usual server Hollie. She's always so kind to us, and I love talking with her and getting her inside help on what to order (I'm so indecisive). She was very attentive and my drink cup was never empty, and I always had what I needed. Hollie was wonderful and we've had a few severe since going here, but she's by far one of my favorites. Onto the food! I had the chicken noodle soup and let me tell you, I'm quite picky about soup, especially chicken noodle because it's my favorite, and I was not disappointed. Needless to say the day was gone after 5 minutes. For my main course I ordered the crab cakes, because I love crab and have been in search of some decent crab cakes since moving to Maryland. Oh. My. Goodness. There was so much flavor in my food and I couldn't eat it all. The fries were even seasoned well with an Old Bay seasoning. Definitely my new favorite on the menu. If you're ever in the area or debating on stopping by, I highly suggest it. One of my favorite places to eat. Keep it up! read more

The food is fine, but the service is very bad. I was just there with my wife and son for dinner. We waited forever for our meal, and when it came my wife and sons orders were both wrong. I had to track down the waitress to inform her and then she finally brought the correct food. Also, she never checked back with us to refill sodas or to make sure everything was OK until we were nearly finished. We won't be going back to this location anytime soon. read more

Great food, great service. Really a first-rate and really enjoyable high-end treatment of American fare. Howard county is lucky to get this addition to its eatery lineup. The only thing I miss are the table-side jukebox devices. A must stop. read more

I love diners. It's a great relaxed placed with good food at a reasonable price. I've missed the SD since moving to Howard County. Glad to see it here. My daughter loves it. Our only way to eat at the SD was to arrive early to BWI for a trip. I'll be here often. read more

Upscale diner - mistake. Stick with the basics. Strange hamburger combinations. The turkey no longer comes with stuffing or cranberry sauce. The meatloaf was extremely dry and tasteless, far from the indulgence it should be. And no more chocolate cream pie! And for such a simple menu, it seemed confusing. Moving on. read more

We had an excellent excellent evening. Had the avocado salmon toasted, mmmm. The salmon dinner was perfectly cooked. Reuben was tasty. Cocktails were fun. Our server Hollie was friendly and knowledgeable , one of the best servers!! Will be back! read more

Our dinner was delicious! My son got the turkey platter. It was great. Mashed potatoes perfect, turkey moist. I got the chicken pot pie. It's yummy, packed with chicken and flavorful veggies. Service was very good. Totally coming back! Waiting ob a slice of apple pie now. read more

I love coming to silver diner in general. But today our server made our experience exceptional. His name is Amari he gave us enough time to order got the order correct and always came back to check up on. He asked regularly if we needed anything for our kids. As a parent that means the world. We will defiantly be coming back to this location and asking for Amari! read more

We had CC as our waitress and she was nice. Service was super slow. We ordered food and waited about 45 minutes to an hour for 8 people. I ordered the bruschetta and eggs with the tempeh bacon and I enjoyed it! Had great flavor. Those who ordered the buttermilk pancakes and eggs said they were sub-par and could've easily been made at home. Those who had burgers rated it 4/10. The food wasn't good enough for the price we paid for. I wouldn't come back unless I was blindfolded and didn't have a choice. read more
