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.

Bacon

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.

Chris was a wonderful server, and very attentive. Had a wonderful visit at this Silver Diner location. The burger was phenomenal! Great service, great food!

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.

Slaw a quarter of the container full 1 of 2 angles

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!

Every single time I had an intention to come to this diner, there was always a wait and the counter…read morewas full up. 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.

Talk about bad food. This place use to be good several years…read moreago but those days are long gone. A completely different look on the inside. Gone are the blue walls and no more of the carry out feel. I remember this place had some of best bacon but you can tell the quality of food has gone out the window. I walked in and was greeted by a guy taking orders. His customer service skills were good. That was the only reason for the 2 stars. I ordered the wings and waffle, Belgian waffle and breakfast platter along with 2 drinks for $42 bucks. Not too bad. We sat at a table and the food came. Once again, the guy at the counter was great. He made sure to bring over our waffles while they were hot. That was the only part of the food that was good/decent, hence the second star. The rest is poor quality and belongs in the trash. The eggs were not real and god awful. The 8 wingettes came straight out of a freezer bag/ air fryer. TRASH. The bacon was fresh out of the microwave. I'll never ever come back. The food is that bad. If there was anyone standing outside needing food I would have happily given it to them. This place has fallen off a cliff hence the empty parking lot. It is a hard no for me.

Silver Diner is located in a convenient shopping area with plenty of parking, which already makes…read moreit an easy and stress-free spot to visit. From the outside, it has that classic, full-fledged American diner look and once you walk in, it absolutely delivers on that vibe. The place is clean, welcoming, and has a really nice atmosphere. As soon as we entered, the greeter was friendly and quickly got us seated in a booth. The staff overall was very welcoming and attentive throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. The menu has a ton of options, so there's something for everyone. For our meal, we ordered the French toast and the shrimp and grits, and for an appetizer, we tried the spinach rolls which were honestly fantastic and a standout item. Everything we had was flavorful and satisfying. There was a small mix-up with my drink, I ordered orange juice but received apple juice instead but it wasn't a big deal, and everything else came out great. The diner also offers a variety of beverages, including alcoholic options, coffee, hot chocolate, and more, though we stuck with breakfast drinks this time. Pricing can be a bit on the higher side depending on what you order. For two people, our breakfast came out to around $68, but considering the quality of the food, service, and overall experience, it felt worth it. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed our breakfast here. Between the atmosphere, the food, and the friendly staff, I'd definitely come back again. 4 out of 5 stars!

Lanham, MD isn't exactly a destination dining city, so stumbling onto Silver Diner and going back a…read moresecond time tells you something. We hit it twice during a recent trip: once for breakfast, and once for dinner. Both times, the menu range stopped us in our tracks. This isn't a laminated-two-pager situation. There's real variety here, and it's executed with a level of care that genuinely surprised me. Portion sizes are exactly where they should be (not the grotesque American overload, not the pretentious undersell) and the flavors are consistently on point. The one exception: my other half felt her breakfast potatoes were a little flat, with bland seasoning and a texture that wasn't quite there. A minor thing, but worth noting because everything else around it cleared a higher bar. For breakfast, the coffee was ok, though I suspect ours had been sitting too long. Not a dealbreaker, but a place this dialed-in should probably be more attentive to that detail. Value is where Silver Diner arguably embarrasses its competition. The price-to-quality ratio is legitimately hard to explain. Where else do you get this kind of menu variety, this level of execution, and walk out without wincing at the bill? Whoever runs this chain is paying attention to the details and clearly cares about making an impression, and it shows in almost every aspect of the operation, including a noticeably clean dining room. That said, the staff was somewhat of a letdown. They're efficient, sure, but warm they are not. The payment handoff in particular felt oddly transactional...they simply extended the payment device across the table. It's a small thing that lands wrong when the rest of the experience is so clearly intentional. I find it hard to square how much attention goes into the food and environment, and how little seems to go into making guests feel like the staff actually wants to be there. All in all, if Silver Diner ever opens in the Pacific Northwest, I'll be in line before the doors open, and I suspect half of the Seattle area would join me. Go. Absolutely worth your time if you want some low-priced quality, casual food.

There's a small Wyndham hotel next to it, so if you look up and see the Wyndham signage, you're in the right spot! I've never dined at this spot and it's been here for YEARS! I believe it started off as a Howard Johnson's many moons ago, but don't quote me on that..LOL. The restaurant itself is really nothing to look at. It's seems more like a diner than a restaurant but it's surprisingly large, just a little outdated. I sat at the rather small bar since I was there for HH. The bartender was extremely pleasant and attentive. I ordered the wings and bacon wrapped dates that were on the HH menu and I also ordered the calamari which was on the regular menu. I must say, the calamari and bacon wrapped dates tastes as good as any I've ever had! The wings were very good as well. The HH priced margarita was extremely good and $4 off the regular price! I will definitely be back when I want to grab something good and lowkey. Oh yeah, there's a Mexican food vibe which surprised me. I was served complimentary chips and salsa, and the menu had several Mexican cuisine offerings. Because of this, they may want to consider a name change.. Lol!
