This place is usually packed - especially weekend brunch time. Standing room only today and we had about ten people in front of us on waiting list, but didn't wait more than ten minutes. They are great about moving people in and out. I love how they show what is locally sourced on the menu, the healthy options on all pages, and the seasonal additions. Our waitress was busy yet attentive and the food was outstanding. I don't remember the little strawberry compote coming with the pancakes before. Brunch mimosa for 6.99 and they fill her up ! I will say that it's been about a year since I last visited and the place appeared to be well taken care of and cleaner than I remembered. Today's visit was very much about the little details I noticed since last visit. read more

My family and I were traveling from Western Maryland back to North Carolina, and it's become a tradition for us to stop here. During our trip in July 2026, we walked in and was immediately greeted by the hostess, Rylan. She seemed a little flustered about not having a supply of fresh silverware for give to us, and we had to wait for them to bring her more. She was apologetic for the wait and seemed genuinely embarrassed, but we assured her that it was ok and it wasn't her fault. Once we were seated we were greeted by our waiter, Jose. This guy was a rock-star! Customer service was top-notch, and he was extremely friendly. I ordered a plate of Loaded Cheese Fries to share with my son, as we weren't very hungry. When the food was brought to our table it was hot and delicious, but the fries cooled down fast and became stale-feeling. But, to be fair, I suppose that's what happens when you load refrigerated dairy producted on top of hot fries! The men's bathroom was very clean and well kept, and the booth seats were very soft and comfortable. Other than the fries cooling down way too quickly, I have zero complaints and would recommend this location to my friends and family! read more

Yum! This location is the original spot of the first Silver Diner in 1989. My friends and I meet here when I'm in town and this location never disappoints. I had the incredibly delicious crab cake sandwich with lobster au jus. Just outstanding. Crunchy cake with identifiable real crab! The bread was delicious as was the slaw. My friend had the Chicken Piccata and loved it while my other friend enjoyed her half turkey sandwich with a Caesar salad. The service was prompt and attentive but not overly intrusive. This menu has SO many comfort food choices you can't go wrong. Everything looked delicious! We've also been for breakfast on several occasions and the food and service was equally as great. The diner decor is nostalgic and all appeared clean and well kept. Solid 5 star experience. read more

Was visiting from out of town and stopped by here on our way to our hotel. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes. The eggs Benedict was was delicious, i just wish the muffin was toasted longer. It was a bit soggy. We all loved their signature drinks and coffee was alright too! Food came out in a timely manner and our waitress was kinda and very attentive with us. That diner had that classic diner look with coat hangers on the booths!(: super cute. Would definitely come back to one of these read more

Silver Diner was quite busy for a Monday morning, but the experience was still enjoyable. Mallory was my waitress, and she was pleasant, cheerful, and very helpful--truly a perfect way to start the day. I began with a refreshing glass of Pure Green juice made with kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, zucchini, romaine, apple, lemon, and ginger. For my meal, I chose the California Omelet with egg whites, chicken, tomato, Jack cheddar, scallions, Baja black bean salsa, cilantro sour cream, and whole wheat toast. The omelet was excellent--you couldn't even tell it was made with egg whites. Every bite was delicious. Overall, it was a great start to the morning. read more

My cousin who lived in Federick took me to Silver Diner for breakfast. I instantly liked the vibe as I walked in. Our server Colleen was very friendly, she brought the drawing set and kids menu to my kids right away. I ordered the Classic Egg Benedict and it was very good. I also tried a few bites of the scrambled eggs from my daughter's plate, the eggs were cooked perfectly--buttery and delicious. There was a mini jukebox at our table and it was a fun little entertainment for the group. I had a very pleasant experience and I'll definitely come back. read more

We had a small wait but they got us in quickly. The staff is super friendly and made sure we was well taken care of. This is probably the cleanest restaurant I have been in. Even the ceiling was clean. The little jukebox on each table was super cute. The French fries and wings out of this world! read more

We always sit at the bar and enjoy great service! There are enough food choices that I can find something to eat. I am not a fan of everything on the menu but then who is. This morning I ordered the crab cake melt sandwich with lobster au jus. It was gross. I couldn't taste the crab and I couldn't taste the lobster. The crab cake lacked simple seasoning and was mushy. The only flavor was the tarragon in the tarter sauce. I ended up eating the side of coleslaw. In Maryland, we set the bar high for crab cakes. Silver Diner's crab cake does not approach the bar, it needs an overhaul. read more

Beyond terrible!!! From waiting more than double the time we were told...to be sat in the middle of the room- I did ask for the wide open booth we walked by for 2 so did avoided that!! Placed our order took over 25 minutes waffle soggy omelette ice cold!! Manager seemed concerned and was ready to hand out a gift card to smooth over the situation- now I ask you- after the experience I just had would I really want a gift card to come back? While the concept of old school diner food refreshed and healthier is a great idea- maybe you shouldn't charge extra for egg whites... Lovely pictures in the waiting area talking about healthy kids menus, local, new , etc...etc... although perhaps figure out how to make a waffle and omelette first... Not this time maybe on a weekday when they're not overwhelmed... read more

Our family of four had a pretty good dinner experience here. We had the "Snake River" Wagyu chop steak (served on a bed of spinach and mashed potatoes), Reuben sandwich with fries, cheeseburger with fries, and a kid's Mac and cheese. The total was roughly $73 post-tax. So the price to portion was pretty good. The taste was just as good too! I loved the Reuben and my wife enjoyed the wagyu dish. My kids didn't even finish their entrees - too full. The service was good too. It's a nice and cozy spot. read more

Server - Osman A is wonderful. We had a great experience recently dining at the Silver Diner in Frederick. Thank you for making the meal such a special one. read more

Wow, I know sometimes your meal doesn't come out well, but this morning was the worst. I ordered the country fried steak and eggs. For some time now I have not liked the scrambled eggs at this place. They cook them too fast on a hot grill and they come out hard and basically flat. And like usual they were mostly cold. I have made repeated comments to this restaurant that they can and should do better. The biscuit was not fresh and too hard to even cut much less eat. The country fried steak is usually pretty good, but today it was hard and overcooked. All and all very disappointing. read more

James, the server, is the MAN! He has waited on me and yes, my ex-wife, two times and has been nothing shy of the most friendly and most professional! During the meal he returned numerous times offering to refill drinks and to question if our means were fabulous, and they were. His professional manner made me believe that he represents his restaurant very well, and that he could easily step in to a managerial position. You go James!!!! read more

Go early! You'll thank me! We got a table at 9:00am and had the most delightful server, Sabrina! She was very attentive and had a smile the whole time her section was filling up with more customers. We got coffee, "The American Favorite" and the "Pickle Brined Chicken and Waffle" and it was delicious! The home fries were perfectly soft with a crispy outside, my bacon was perfectly cooked, I made the substitution of an English muffin instead of a biscuit and cheese on my eggs. The chicken was really juicy and freshly fried. The waffle was soft and light. Everything was great and when we left at 10:15am, there was a line with a wait! Will be back! read more

My girlfriend and I were going to stop at an unnamed pub for dinner last night, but when we walked in an hour before closing we found out they had closed the kitchen already. Hungry suddenly turned into hangry. In a pissed off Yelp search I saw the Silver Diner. 4.1 stars on 471 reviews? Let's check it out. Because I'm hungry. And people may need to die if I don't eat soon. We arrived a little after 9 and were promptly seated. The ambiance is awesome: like a 50s diner. Shiny metal panels and wood. Nice. We waited a few minutes but weren't greeted. No worries; they have an extensive menu that requires looking over because it sure has a LOT of delicious looking items. Another table was sat and I could hear the manager and waiter discussing the arrivals. Sounds like there may have been a little confusion about whose table it was, but that was immediately settled when David arrived to greet us. David kneeled down table side and apologized for the wait. He took one look at me and said, "You look like you wanna punch me." Apparently my Resting Jerk Face is obvious. I told him this was stop 2 after stop 1 informed us that their kitchen was closed an hour before closing, at which time he stated they had just closed their kitchen. Obvious sarcasm. And I like sarcasm when I'm pissed. Had to laugh. We're off to a good start. He explained the concept and how they source everything locally. Even better. Drinks and food were ordered. We both got the bbq burger - great minds think alike but I ordered mine with no mushrooms ("Extra mushrooms", said David - bring that wit, brother!) and onion rings instead of fries (this gets important later). The drinks were promptly delivered. Phew. We were thirsty. The Girlfriend ordered a hibiscus lemonade with a shot of rum. I ordered a Diet Coke (I'm driving, and my girlfriend is hot: I'm not endangering her for a drink). Her eyes got wide when she had a sip of her drink and she offered me a sip. I took one. Damn. That's good stuff. Then the food arrived. ("The double flag means extra mushrooms.") Hole. Lee. Cow. Neither of us was prepared for the culinary greatness that is this burger. We added the pickles and onions to our desired levels (they come on the side) and dug in. Wow. What a burger (no, not the Texas fast food chain - focus, people). Juicy. Bacon-y. Delicious. My hands are immediately drenched in burger juices; a true sign of a good burger. I also have a little ramekin full of a yellow sauce that The Girlfriend doesn't have because it comes with onion rings. I don't remember the description (chile crunch or something) but I remember how it tasted: sublime (shoulda called it chile crack). I immediately dipped the next onion ring bite in the sauce and offered it to her. Her hazel eyes flew open in delight. This is gonna be a problem; she's envying my sauce and I'm powerless to say no to her... The rest of the meal is just her and I gushing over how good this burger is. Even the arugula on the burger was buttery and delicious. She loves her fries and is dipping them in the sauce. I'm giving her occasional onion ring bites. It's heavenly. And all feelings of hanger (think hungry anger) are fading quickly. The manager, Mike, came by to check on us. Super friendly. Chatted with us a notch. Super nice guy. And he's got the Gift of Gab. Love it. Because I'm eating this burger while he's talking. And this burger is ridiculously good. He also refilled our waters; what a gentleman! As I get up to wash my hands David asks if we want dessert. I'm not still hungry but that burger was SO F'ING GOOD that we relented and had him bring the dessert menu. When I return with clean hands I look at the dessert menu and there it is. The newest item on the dessert menu: The Peanut Butter Chocolate Explosion. At least I think that's what it was called. Because they brought it. And we took a bite. And we LOST our MINDS. What is happening?! How is this thing every bit as good as the burger but in exploding peanut butter chocolate form?!? Time and space lost meaning while we ate it. David stopped in on us and chatted with us for a bit. He asked us where we're from and informed us that he's looking at a house in our town. We're excited, and we hope he gets the place. Check time. David looks at me wondering why this hot chick is buying dinner. So am I but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. I hope she tipped him appropriately for his service. Top notch, David. I even stopped Mike to tell him. We'll be back. With more people. Always share good food. read more

I have come here many, many times and it's consistently good. I particularly like the burrata shakshuka on the weekend brunch menu. It's a large serving and comes with naan on the side, tastes amazing. I've also tried various other menu items and nothing I've tried has been anything other than good. This place will get very busy on the weekends, particularly on weekend mornings/brunch time, but usually you can get seated within 15 minutes or so. It has a classic diner feel but the food is next level compared to a traditional diner read more

Looks like a old fashioned diner, but it is mostly updated city cuisine . We were wanting thick rich Hot Roast Beef or Turkey Sandwiches smothered in gravy with mashed potatoes. Or dinners similar, lists of daily specials...nope. Our diners looked ok but lacked that home cooking taste. Too MANY non needed spices. We just wanted your grandmother's cooking. And honestly I ate ONLY about 12 bites and my dog got the rest. Service was a little slow. But the booths were nice and the drink ok. read more

Service is top tier here. Better than any location in Maryland, I had ever been to. I ordered a chicken pot pie, which looked good from what it stated on the menu. A blk n white shake with malt. A cream of crab soup as my side. When I got my so called chicken pot pie, I was like to my nice waitress, what is this? My pie looked like an earthquake hit it. Like where's the pie? Where's the pot? Where's the flaky crust? So basically it's a de constructed pie. It's like a soupy concoction of what goes in a pot pie, and 2 large pieces of a flaky cracker. They should have a photo near the menu item cuz its misleading. I chose to get something else because the description was misleading. I then got a delicious burger n fries. My shake was good too. The restaurant seemed to be well managed. Happy staff and a cool manager. I'll definitely come back to this location. read more

Guess who was totally put to shame about judging a diner...ME. We went to silver diner for brunch on Thanksgiving day because that's what was open. I thought I was going to just another diner with mediocre food. I was SO wrong. First and foremost the service was excellent. Our server was the kindest, friendliest, sweetest and most attentive person ever. Second of all- the menu left me shocked and amazed. Who would expect Shakshuka with Halal lamb sausage on the menu?? We ordered that and it was so delicious. Spicy and flavorful. Better than all the shakshuka I have had in NYC. We also got the apple pie French toast which was so decadent and delicious. We loved the food so much that we came back the next day and we had the most delicious steak and eggs. Creekstone is very high end meat, and that is what they serve for the steak here. The only tiny thing I missed was being able to get a nice hot latte. They have basic coffee. Nonetheless I will certainly come here every time I am in the area. read more

This place is a must if you're visiting or a regular. Don't let the large amount of people waiting intimidate you. They move it quickly. The place is very clean. Staff if extremely well dressed and cordial. Service was excellent thanks to Van! I had the Power egg dish. Fantastic egg white and spinach and feta and other goodness. Great quality and well cooked. Lots to choose from and ask your server for suggestions. My wife had the Belgian waffle and it was light and tasty! Next time we're in town we're going there for any meal. Lots to choose for breakfast lunch and dinner and despite the large menu, which usually gives me pause, but they have dialed it in for sure! Skip McDs and treat yourself to a great meal! read more

Wow! First time here and what can I say. This place takes you back with a modern touch. First of all it's clean, very welcoming staff, and a cool place to eat. I got seated right away and my server got me a drink (Coke) quick. She gave me time to look over the menu with no pressure. I ordered a short rib sandwich with fries and when my order came out it was still hot. The short rib sandwich was nice and soft, and flavorful!! I had to finish up with a classic chocolate milkshake although it was 30 degrees outside. It came with extra milkshake, WOW!! Tasted perfect with the thickness spot on. All in all I highly recommend this spot, or this joint as the older crowd would say. They play all the songs from the past, something we barely hear. I could imagine a cruise night with hot rods and classic cars in the parking lot. Mahalo staff and A Hui Hou! Thank you and until we meet again! read more

This was our first time at the Silver Diner and it will not be our last! We are visiting from California and this is now our favorite restaurant on the East Coast. We were served by an adorable woman named Elicia. She was knowledgeable and so very sweet. The manager who seated us was also very kind and overly accomendating. If you have never been, then go and see what the chef has plated that day. I promise you will not be sorry. read more

James was absolutely excellent! From the moment we sat down, he was polite, kind, and incredibly attentive. He was efficient without ever making us feel rushed, and he clearly takes pride in what he does.

It's rare to find someone who is both genuinely warm and so great at their job -- James truly stands out. We'll definitely be back and hope to have him as our server again! read more

David our server was fantastic he answered all our questions. The food was well prepared and the portions were very plenty.

We came at dinner time on Mother's Day-- the whole staff were on overdrive working so hard, yet everyone we interacted with was kind and funny and terrific. Matias was both bartender and server in our area, and the marketing manager was on duty as host, and both made our special day experience even better. Perfect treat for our holiday. Thank you!! Special note as well for the crab cake melt and mushroom bowl, as well as the key lime pie. Fantastic all around. read more

A classic diner experience that has been revamped since they now serve healthier options and vegan milkshakes, which is quite nice (although they don't taste as good as regular ones). Generally, their food is quite filling and I enjoyed my Hawaiian burger which was cooked well. I did find the sweet potato fries to be a little odd, but otherwise, enjoyed the kind service and alacrity. I appreciate the diner vibes with small jukeboxes on each table. read more
