    Western Omelette + cheese
    Samone J.

    This was my first time visiting a Silver Diner. It was a pretty full house. We were seated rather quickly and greeted promptly, offered water. We ordered the western omelette with cheese, burger, and a side of silver dollar pancakes. After on/around 15-20 min our food came out. He enjoyed his burger, I munched on his fries which were perfectly fried and salted. My omelette and home fries left a lot to be desired, pretty bland. The side biscuit though? So good, would absolutely get a biscuit and gravy entree next time. The silver dollar pancakes were very dense, assuming frozen and heated not made on the spot. I'm interested in giving this place another try.

    Waffle, eggs and bacon.

    Overall, I had a delicious experience at this Silver Diver. I'll say this location definitely matches the Silver Diner brand. Fortunately for my visit (around 9 am on a snowy Sunday), I did not have to wait at all to grab a spot at the bar. Actually, I was surprised that this location was pretty empty during my visit. This experience was a bit different to my regular Silver Diner where the line extends outside of the restaurant and into the parking lot. A key difference between this location and the one that a visit more frequently is this restaurant has outdoor seating with a view of a lake, which probably is really nice during the warmer months. Ok, so the lake probably is a retention pond, but it's the thought that counts. Since this is a local chain (nothing wrong with that, IMO), the menu items are pretty much the same as the other Silver Diners in the area, so there should not be too many new surprises. For my meal, I went with the waffle, eggs, and bacon combo. The food was delicious and what I expected based on my previous experiences at other Silver Diners in the area. The waitress asked if I wanted my bacon crispy, but for me, I thought the bacon was a little too crispy. For my next visit, I'll be sure to stick with regular, "non-crispy" bacon. ;) Speaking of my waitress, who went by Z, I thought she was a wonderful server and constantly checked in to make sure everything was going well with my meal. My meal was about 15 bucks (without tip), which I think is pretty standard in this area. While I probably would not go out of my way to visit this location, it's a nice place to have breakfast if you are in the area.

    Chicken and Pecan waffles
    Kiana M.

    I love a great diner. Silver diner never really disappoints. However, my last visit wasn't the best experience. The food was great as always however, the service was less than desired. I ordered the chicken and pecan waffles and my dad ordered eggs over easy with bacon and rye toast. The chicken and waffles was delicious. I am not usually a fan of nuts but it added great flavor to the waffles. The fried chicken could have been seasoned a bit more. However, it was a good dish. The eggs over easy and bacon was cooked to perfection. The ambiance and atmosphere was great. We visited on Sunday so it was a bit crowded. However, we were able to be seated fairly quickly. The hostess and managers were very friendly. Our waitress was not as friendly unfortunately. Our waitress was very short with us when we gave our order. Also, it took a bit of time for us to receive our beverages such as coffee and water which caused our beverages to be a less desirable temperature. I was hoping that we would receive a friendly waitress because service is half of the experience when you are patronizing a restaurant. Overall, we had a good time visiting Silver Diner. I hope to visit again soon.

    Strawberry milkshake
    Amy S.

    We were outside in their newly renovated patio. The service was wonderful. The music was a little too loud since we were seated right under the speakers. We started with strawberry shake to share and they even split it in 2 glasses. Delicious. We also got the chicken tenders and the Green goddess lobster salad special. The tenders were solid, maybe just a tad on too crispy. I would not order the salad again. It was my fault for not asking for the ingredients in the salad but was disappointed what I got did not look like the picture. I did not get the big chunks of lobster.

    One of the biggest things is customer service. We had a party of eight and were told the wait time will be 15 - 20 minutes. So I had my family look over the menu. I came back to the counter and the manager told me it will take 10 minutes, we had been waiting 25 minutes already. We finally got seat and waiting another 10 minutes just for our server. We ended up ordering everything at one time. But that still didn't work because we received our food five minutes after we got our dinner. Now the food. The food is always amazing. The portion size is perfect. The atmosphere is busy, but relaxing.

    Grasshopper Milkshake
    Molly K.

    Silver Diner's location in Rio is the perfect place to stop by after climbing at Sportrock. Silver Diner is open late so if you stop by to climb after work, you can certainly grab a meal at Silver Diner after. I was really impressed with how much the manager on duty came to check on tables. He was friendly and so attentive to the guests. Our server was also pleasant with a cheery disposition. She took our order easily and had no problem splitting the check amongst the 3 of us dining together. Silver Diner is VERY vegan friendly. They mark their menu clearly showing what items are vegan and they have so many options. They even have 3 plant-based milkshakes to choose from. I ordered the Minty Grasshopper shake with Maker's Mark added on to make it an adult milkshake. I also ordered a side of fries because I love mixing my sweet with some salty. The milkshake was fantastic! I cannot say enough good things about it. There were chunks of Oreo cookie bits, and the chunks were small enough they did not clog the straw. The shot of Maker's Mark was strong yet didn't interfere with the creamy dairy free goodness of the shake. I love that Silver Diner also gives you extra milkshake in a metal cup so you can essentially have 2 shakes with the purchase of one. My only disappointment was with the French fries. We arrived at Silver Diner around 9pm and maybe the French fries just were not fresh. They tasted like they were reheated or microwaved. You know when you microwave French fries and the soft potato inside pulls away a little from the once crunchy exterior? That is how these fries tasted. I am hoping it was just an off day for the fries, but I am hesitant to order them again. Overall, I will certainly come back to Silver Diner. That milkshake was too good to not get again. Additionally, I want to try more of their vegan options like their vegan taco bowl and vegan eggs benedict. I am thankful for my great experience at SIlver Diner and hope my next visit is even better.

    I have been here a few times in the past few months & was recently there for Mother's Day brunch! We expected to have a long wait time but thankfully we got seated immediately. The server & the manager were all very attentive. We knew it was a packed house but our food came out in a timely order, and it was delicious. The mimosas were also very tasty. We will keep coming back here & recommending to friends. It's a nice place for either a date or family outing.

    Bay Benedict
    Maria F.

    This is possibly one of my and hubby's fave place. Flexitarian offering on orders is a big component. Gluten-free and dairy-free options with amazing flavor of food is amazing! My favorite is the Skewered Shrimp Bibimbop with only 600 calories and bursting with flavor. This visit we had breakfast menu and I got the Bay Benedict and he got the Corned Beef Hash. Too yummy and I enjoyed every bite! My husband gets his regular dose of gluten-free brownies day or night. The staff are all friendly and the manager comes around and checks on everyone. They make us feel very welcome. Clean and neat ambiance of the old diner experience. We do love coming here.

    We have never been disappointed at Silver Diner. The food, the service, the ambiance - delicious, perfection, and cozy. The quality of the ingredients and variety of the menu makes this establishment one of my favorites in the area.

    My first time at this location because we were meeting with friends and it's more convenient. It's in Rio next to the movie theater. We went around dinner time and luckily didn't have to wait because when we left, there were people waiting. So I would probably do a reservation just in case if you go during dinner time. We ordered the chipotle salmon and shrimp, cheese fries, chilli, and I think my husband got the turkey platter? The food was just okay. My salmon and shrimp were bland and didn't really have much flavor. I had to dip it with the cheese that came with the fries for some flavor lol. We also got the nutella banana milkshake and that was good though! I would get that again. Service was okay. The staff stopped checking on us after we got our food. We had to go find someone to get service a couple of times.
