Always clutch! Referencing this location and the restaurant. You can't go wrong with dining at this establishment. I'm a mom/pops diner type of gal, but if I do go chain for breakfast, Silver Diner is top on the list. The old school vibes, pleasant atmosphere, fresh food, a menu that always surprises, plus ... I can play classic MoTown music at my table for 50cents. Say yes my friend! I always select my three top choices, then I ask the table server to surprise me .... why?! Well, why not! This way - I'm never disappointed and never eat the same meal twice. badabing badaboom read more

Silver Diner - Diners Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

So amazing!!! I went to IHOP and spent 94$ for three meals and here I spent 85$ for four meals and when I tell you it was worth my money I'm not joking!! The portion sizes were large and the food was perfectly cooked, we ordered and then within about 7 min all four meals came out, we were eating breakfast around 09:30 so it was busy. Really impressed, definitely will be coming back!! read more

The food isn't bad. It is over priced but the server was absolutely wonderful she sung our entire order and her demeanor was amazing

Great location. Good service. Food was good. It's been a while since I last visited but consistent with what I remember from that visit. read more

Silver Diner - Diners Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

Yesterday around 11-12 noon, My BFF Deborah, her cousin Susie and I had just finished with and appointment in the West End and decided to try Silver Diner again and they didn't disappoint. Deborah got a huge Cheeseburger and fries, Susie got the Lumberjack pancakes with eggs over easy, sausage and bacon. I ordered Banana Pancakes Scrambled eggs and bacon. All of our plates looked and tasted delicious we didn't leave hungry. Our server was excellent with waiting on us, checking on us. Thankfully we got there before the lunch rush which was good, I'm sure the meal and service would be just as great if it had been busy. Thanks again for great experience. read more

Cute diner atmosphere! The food was good. It was nice to be able to get breakfast for dinner. Ask for Von if you get a chance. He made our visit to the diner a memorable experience. read more

My wife and I ate here on 7/12/25. We had a great overall experience. See that earlier review. We liked it so much we went back on 7/13/25, with my son, and a complete opposite experience. The waiter did not know the menu and placed the order incorrectly. Both my son and I ordered the cheesesteak sandwich. I ordered mine with peppers and cheese only-no mayo, no onions-exactly like I ordered the night before. My cheesesteak came out without the peppers-not a big deal- just roast some peppers and I'll add it to the sandwich. My waiter kept telling to use a sauce. At about that time, the ceiling started leaking water on the table. We were moved to another table. The manager had my sandwich remade. The bread that was used for my Sandra's different than the bread used the night before and even different from my son's sandwich-right next to me. The waiter then neglected our table. No drink refills, didn't clear away dirty dishes. The manager comped my sandwich. So, my assessment is this place is inconsistent. Therefore, I cannot recommend and will not return. read more

We loved this place! Cool nostalgic atmosphere with awesome music, food was delicious and the service was great, our server was wonderful. We ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon, a Philly cheesesteak, both entrees with their amazing fries (seriously, some of the best we've had) and a shrimp scampi entree, which I do wish had a bit more sauce and maybe just a touch less pasta (the portion was ginormous, but very good). Also got a side of garlic spinach and it was delicious. Will be back, again. They are also known for the dessert, especially the shakes, worth the try. read more

Classic blt sandwich - the bacon, lettuce, and tomato ratio was good. The sourdough was nice and crispy. The only downside was my sourdough on the inside was a little soggy from the amount of mayo they put in it. Chunky monkey milkshake - I knew I had to get this when I saw it on the menu. I had real chunks of banana. It was creamy! I wish they didn't put as many chocolate chips in it because it became very overwhelming. I just wanted to drink the milkshake instead of having to chew the chocolate chips. read more

I had a bad experience here but I was in McClean Va it just wasn't good there! Need better cooks and staff

When you've partied a little too hard the night before nothing fills the gas tank like a breakfast from Silver Diner. It's everything a diner should be and the staff on 6/25/22 was pure joy. Great staff! Anyway, the breakfast hits the spot! I'm a sucker for the Country Scrambler (Cage-free Amish scrambled eggs, sausage, home fries, cremini mushrooms, onions, green peppers, jack cheddar, sausage gravy, silver dollar pancakes, fresh strawberries and fruit.) My wife keeps it simple with the *American Favorite* (Cage-free Amish eggs any style, choice of breakfast meat, home fries, buttermilk biscuit) Frankly it's UN-American to hate on this place. Keep up the good work! read more

Good food, good service nice place, there was a great deal of people there but it was not a loud place

Overpriced. Love the attempt at creativity. Eggs Benedict was ice cold. Coffee and waters all served with lipstick stains. A total turn off. Sausage was like warm and burn. Can't write anymore as $18.00 of a breakfast meal that fell so short just annoys me. read more

I've eaten at Silver Diner numerous times. At several locations. And over the last four years we've received great food, good service and a fun atmosphere. But tonight was a bummer. I went in. Had a new server. After I told her I would like water with lemon, which she got, she asked what I wanted to eat. I told her I wasn't sure. She stood there clicking her nails on the counter top. Annoying. She finally said she would come back. About five or so later she. "Are you ready now?" She gruffly asked. I gave her my order. Several minutes went by. The manager brought my food which had been sitting in the window for a few minutes. I needed some muster and had to ask the manager for that. I didn't see her again for several minutes. A few minutes latter, I had to ask another server to refill my water. I finished my food which was only nominally good. She came by briefly a second time and asked if all was okay. Then took off. Another server cleared my dishes. I sat there probably five minutes before she came and presented the machine on which you pay. I paid, not leaving her a tip. Then I left. As I was going out the door I was thinking what happened to one of my favorite restaurants. read more

Don't let the juke boxes and diner feel trick you. This diner serves healthy clean food, and beer and wine. I had the Acai Yogurt Bowl and found it impressive. The yogurt didn't have the overly sour taste I expected, and it was definitely not super sweet. The fruit was definitely fresh and the granola added the crunch. The portion was so much I should have only eaten 1/2 of my bowl. There was so much goodness I cleaned the bowl. My husband said the Western Omelette wasn't "dry" as my husband said some can be. He'd give it a 4/5. I ate his yummy biscuit; he swapped for my sourdough toast. The wait staff was attentive and nice. We were offered "to-go"coffee cups. That was unexpected. The place was overall clean. I did notice a couple juke boxes needed some cleaning. A corner table's pole stand and floor needed some cleaning. It is an area for feet after all so it's totally logical to see some dirt. If they get down time maybe a good shining up would be nice but not really necessary for good eats. I'd go back for dinner and drinks. read more

Silver Diner has reinvented itself. It has an amazing menu with more upscale meal choices, includes wine and beer along with amazing freshly made shakes, and has flexitarian and vegetarian choices. Service is amazing, the atmosphere is super relaxing, and it still includes the original final Silver Diner 50's charm. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this Silver Diner. I had last visited the chain in New Jersey many years prior and recall not being impressed back then. Alas, new year, new state, new experience. We arrived a little after normal lunch hours and were seated in a booth with a cute little jukebox right away. Our server was very sweet. I requested a coffee and opted to order the cheesesteak omelet without onions. They're apparently a very allergy-conscious chain, which I very very much appreciate considering my sensitive stomach. The omelet was delicious, as was a side of bacon. The coffee was just okay and didn't seem to have much caffeine. It was definitely an affordable and efficient meal. I'd return if in the area and looking for some anytime breakfast. read more

Amazing service! Our server was so sweet and bubbly, proactively going out of her way to ensure the sun was not shining on our faces and that we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The food was fresh and deliciously made. Restaurant was clean and so cutely themed. 100% will visit again! read more

Food amazing. Service exemplary. Highly recommend. The Coconut quinoa pancakes were heavenly. Crab cake excellent too!!

I love Silver Diner because if anything ever goes wrong with your meal, they happily correct it with a smile! Aisha, was super nice and on the money!! Another great breakfast and it's always a treat when Elvis is playing on the jukebox!! read more

One of my favorite spots for years! Perfect retro diner vibes for a fun date night or get together. Love the creative and fresh tasty food they offer with new spins on old classics, a wide variety in their menu with something for everyone. Breakfast all day is my favorite!! Some of my favorites include: burger, banana pancakes, bison huevos rancheros, chicken tenders, etc. I haven't had a single bad meal here. They use quality ingredients and can taste the difference. The chef makes healthy taste good! The service is good most of the time which is nice. They have a reward system, it doesn't work well all the time to be honest-- has glitches. Small dessert selection that switches up once in a while. Great shakes! Family oriented with kids menu and rewards. Bring coins for the juke box it's fun! Love the individual booths for seating, ample parking, and curbside option available. read more

It's been a long time since I've visited Silver Diner. We ate here a lot when they first opened, but then several other diners opened closer to our home, so we kind of go6 sidetracked. Waking up on a Saturday and craving a good breakfast but not wanting to cook, we decided to visit Silver Diner a try again. I'm so glad we did. The service was great! Within a minute of sitting down we were greeted and offered drinks. Coffee an water all around, and a Chesapeake Bloody Mary and a Spicy Bloody Mary. These are specialty weekend-only cocktails served during brunch. Both were really good and the mix was great. The coffee is also delicious! It's smooth and you get a bottomless cup, and they mean it. Our mugs were topped off regularly. For our meals we ordered the Oaxaca omelette (aka Mexican) with guacamole and the omelette with cremini mushrooms, feta and spinach. Both were made with three eggs and were huge. I could only eat half of mine, although I would have loved to finish it because it was so good. Silver Diner will definitely be on my list from now on. I love that the menu is organic, locally sourced with a focus on balancing great flavors with a healthier menu. read more

My Southwest Turkey sandwich was delicious. It gave me the tryptophan I needed because of drinking a yummy Campfire iced espresso. (I slept well despite the caffeine.) The roasted veggies and the coleslaw were also tasty. Liz, our waitress was helpful and pleasant. The decor is delightful! The menu is extensive. A great place to eat! read more

Wonderful service and delicious breakfast for entire family. Fresh fruit, light pancakes and eggs cooked to perfection.

Came here for breakfast on a weekday which was delightful as they have low-price weekday specials. For $10 one can get pancakes, eggs, sausage, and coffee, with great tasting items and a great portion. I also enjoy that you can get pancake add-ins like cranberry, which is unusual but actually really works well if you want to mix it up from blueberry. I got the Oaxaca omelet, which is a great price and uses Southwestern flavors which is more unique than other places and also includes wheat toast and fresh fruit, so it's delicious and also feels like I'm being healthy. The service was good and there are plenty of tables, so they are easily spaced out. Definitely was not busy on a weekday so had great service. This place has a lot of great breakfast options. read more

I had a chef special Farro dish that was so good I had to recreate it at home. This place is legit!

We stopped here on the way back from a triathlon in much need of some breakfast! We waited in line and then decided to sit at the bar which turned out to be fun as well as being able to sit quickly and not wait in line. That's one thing I'll say if you don't mind sitting at the bar and it's 2-3 people go for it! We ordered our breakfast and we also had mimosas. To top it off I decided to get a Bloody Mary which wasn't bad but wasn't good either. The appearance and feel of the restaurant is old fashioned with a 50's /60's feel ! Our waiter was awesome! He kept our waters topped off and continued to check in to see if we needed anything. Great place! If you haven't been and on the road like we were I highly recommend you stop by! Oh I saw some amazing milkshakes too! Wished I'd have had room for one before leaving! Maybe next time! read more

Wheat toast never showed (asked twice). $4 for a cup of coffee with breakfast ! (Toast came after I was done eating. )

This place brings back the young generation back to the past on what a old school breakfast diner would look like. The food is great. The service for food is very quick. The staff are great here. The place is pretty good size. Got seated right away. They have big portions of food. read more

I haven't been to a Silver Diner in years! I'm glad I returned today when I took my mom and nephew out for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised at how much the menu had changed to reflect contemporary tastes. My nephew tried the meatless tacos, which he loved. My mom and I went traditional and got one of the breakfast platters with pancakes--and we both ate every bite. Very filling and delicious. Further, our service was outstanding. Kris, who had only been on the job for three days, took excellent care of us and did everything with a big, friendly smile. I told him we would ask to be seated in his section whenever we came. Still has its diner atmosphere. Prices are a little high, but I like this place. And my family did, too. read more

Take me back to the 1950's diner vibe Silver Diner yaaasssss hunny! So went here today for brunch and must say it wasn't my first time. Like I come here fairly regularly but *gasp* I've never written a review. (Very un-Yelp Elite behavior on my part!) How did I figure all of this out today is the question one may ask..... cause I ordered some bomb dot com shrimp and grits. Then grits were the shiiiiiiiit, the shiiiiiiiit shorty. I personalized them by ordering without the ham and sausage- hella good still. Flavor was just delectable. Bloody Mary was eh.... But it did the trick. Best part of the experience about this place was the jukebox - can someone say old school concert impromptu style? Make sure to bring some quarters. read more
