    Crab & Corn Chowder
    Marty S.

    This is a Classic 50's/60's/70's era Diner located within multiple franchises around the Washington, DC area (also known as DMV: Delaware-Maryland-Virginia)! An experience one should not miss as the menu choices are varied of standard diner dishes with the 24hr flexibility of breakfast served too! Enjoyed a plentiful chicken pot pie classic entree which included a choice of one: soup, chilli, side mixed green or caesar salad. I chose a cup of crab and corn soup while my companion chose the chicken noodle soup. Both were served at a perfect temp and flavorful. Unfortunately, I was completely filled and could not even try nor attempt any of their freshly made and decadent homemade desserts. Don't miss this special eatery and be prepared to enjoy jukebox Jackson 5, Motown, Smokey Robinson as well as early Beatles, Bob Segar, Eagles during your dining therefore leaving you with a full stomach and a smile as you depart.

    I frequent here to grab breakfast/brunch since it's very close. This location and diner has the best pancakes and I come back every time to eat them. First time sitting at the bar but had a great experience. I can't wait to go back for more pancakes.

    Ribeye Philly Steak and sweet potato fries
    Kerri C.

    We recently tried Silver Diner at BWI, and only a few weeks ago realized there was one not too far from our house so we decided to go for an early dinner. Our server was lovely, and the food was so good! We shared the crispy Brussels sprouts, I got a peach soda and my boyfriend got a creamsicle, and then for dinner I got the Philly cheese steak and he got the fish and chips. Our favorite was the Brussels sprouts- they were crispy, and had such a good sauce (that wasn't spicy thank goodness). We both loved our sodas. My cheese steak was really good, but in my opinion far too many onions so next time I'd ask for light onion. He really enjoyed the fish and chips as well, but noted the batter for the fish wasn't the traditional light and fluffy batter. It was different- but good! Also to note- the portion sizes are huge! You'll definitely leave stuffed. We look forward to returning in the near future. I'm glad it's nearby!

    Service and food were both good! The strawberry was FABBBBBBBB.. omg sooooooooo good!!!! Yum yum yum the fries were good too. I think we paid about $220 with tip for 6 adults and 4 kids. Ambience is pretty chill and laidback.

    Mimosa flight

    The new mimosa flight is pretty great. This is our go to diner because the food is always fresh, different varieties and love the shakes and desserts! Service is good. Used to be able to play the jukebox on tabletops but not anymore. Overall a great diner

    Breakfast

    Breakfast selection was good the waitress Bre was fantastic!!!. Some of the food items were overcooked but we left satisfied. Classic diner items.

    I decided to stop in for breakfast because the sliver diner always has some really great breakfast options. This place also is a wonderful vibe too me not sure why. I decided on the Philly omelet and it was absolutely outstanding. I normally get Huevos rancheros with bison but didn't see it on the menu at this location but overall I have a really great breakfast with A 1 customer service.

    I am writing this review after being a regular for a few years. I have had many a fun times at Silver Diner. The service there was always great. The ambiance was retro that will take you back in time. You have your own little jukebox right on your table. The booths were comfy. During my many visits to Silver Diner, I sampled many items off of their menu. Some of my favorites include: chicken pot pie, chicken lemon picatta, pickle-brined fried chicken sandwich, and their milkshakes, just to name a few. All in all, I highly recommend this establishment.

    Food was ok today. I placed my order online and the pickup time said 12:01. I arrived at the restaurant a few minutes before my pickup time and my food was already sitting waiting for me- which was good. I checked my food out before I left due to having issues here before, everything seemed to be ok. I get home which is less than 5 minutes away, and my food was cold. It wasn't even like warm. It seemed as if it had been sitting h too long and my food lost its quality. Also, I had no plasticware and only 1 syrup but 5 or 6 packs of ketchup. I really keep giving this spot chance after chance but it's always something.

    Decent service and the food was good. Loved the old school diner look and feel. I ordered the Country-fries steak & eggs and a cup of coffee. The steak & eggs was two generous pieces of breaded steak, with sausage gravy, cage-free Amish eggs, home fries, and a buttermilk biscuit. I had my eggs over medium. Only complaint is they ran out of biscuits and it took about 15-20 mins. I had asked for a little gravy when they brought it out so I would not have to eat it alone but they didn't and I ate it alone with butter. I did get a cup of coffee to go which was nice.

    Who's keeping this place open still? The portions are trash for your buck AND there is No love put into ANYTHING (food) at this place. Fire the chef at this point or hire my toddler. I ordered a total of 3 times thinking maybe it was an off day because we all have those and every time the food was HORRIBLE. I got a salad the last go round thinking how can they mess up a salad??!?!? and THEY DID!!! LOL. That's bacon by the way :(. DO Better!

She was a ray of sunshine and gave us help in deciding on menu items. We both ordered salads. I ordered the crab and shrimp Louis salad. And, my friend ordered a chicken salad. Our salads were huge, fresh, and delicious. I really liked the fresh veggies and poached shrimp. I also liked the surprise sprinkle of Old Bay on my seafood. I wasn't a fan of the crabmeat. The dressing was delicious too. My friend liked her chicken salad. She did say her chicken was a little dry. But, she loved all of the fresh veggies and ended up taking the leftovers home. I also ordered the Oreo cheesecake which was delicious. I mean come on now, you combine Oreo's and cheesecake, that is a winning combination and the whipped cream was amazing. The restaurant itself was bright, colorful, and full of sea themed decor. The booth was comfortable and you get 3 hours of free parking in the garage. Again, thanks Fatima for your excellent service.

I have no idea how fortunate I was going to be recently on a Saturday to get a counter seat and finally partake in this establishment. I was actually excited and said the groceries I had just purchased can wait to make it home. This place is 24 hours and I feel like constantly packed. It is noisy, it is greasy, it is delicious. I'm always down for a diner meatloaf, and I'm always down for just the diner vibe. I walked in, saw and empty seat at the counter, asked the lady sitting next to the seat if the seat was taken (it was not), then sat down. After I got settled, I was took the place in. Compact, noisy, all the smells. Then the server showed up, handed me a menu and got me napkins, silverware, and a straw. She then apologized for not welcoming me and asking how I was. Girl, I see you're busy, no need to apologize, gimme that menu and we will get this dance started. After looking over the menu, which I really didn't need to do since I already knew what I was getting, I was ready to place my order. I went with the Meatloaf dinner which come with your choice of two sides. My sides were mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. I also ordered a side salad to start the meal. Oi! If I would have known how big the side salad was, I would have forgone that, it was huge. The salad consisted of a mix between iceberg and mixed greens (heavy on the iceberg). Basically a whole tomato quartered, red onions, green peppers, and some big chunks of cucumber. After cutting it up, adding the dressing, dashing some pepper I finally dig in. This is a hefty salad that can be a messy eat. Knowing that I had the dinner coming, I had to stop eating the salad because not all this food was going to fit. Then the meatloaf shows up. I think at this point I have to say that if you sit at the counter (and most places in here) you can see the action of cooking the food. I watched as they were approaching with my platter and there was some back and forth. They were worried that I was going to ask to have the mac and cheese on another plate. See it was in a bowl and they placed the bowl on the plate. I did not care either way, just gimme. I want to say, in all my stops at diners, I have never had a meatloaf like this. They took the time to toss it on the gridle before plopping it on a plate. I was not expecting this, nor how good the crisp was on it. The mashed potatoes looked like typical diner potatoes. Both were covered with brown gravy and a nice compliment I might saw. This mac and cheese...very cheesy. I mean cheese stretch worthy mac and cheese. Each bite was cheese heavy and I was not mad about that. When I was finished, and full beyond capacity. it was time to go. Paying is easy, just go to the register, tell them what seat you were in, and pay. Such a good experience, will be back and eye it up when it's not packed.

I ordered a platter with eggs, potatoes, turkey sausage, and toast -- good portion size and everything tasted fine. My friend had the French toast and mentioned it was a little soggy. It was pretty busy for late night, and they seemed short-staffed -- only one waitress handling most of the tables. Because of that, service was a bit slow. We didn't wait to be seated, but there was a noticeable delay before we could pay since we had to wait for the waitress to ring us up while she was helping a larger party. Overall, a decent late-night diner spot with good portions and a nostalgic feel -- just expect a bit of a wait when it's busy.
