    Late Night Silver Diner Chicken Piccata

    I think that I will fault myself for the experience because I have never tried Silver Diner ever, and I went there at about 10:45pm on a Saturday. It really wasn't crowded at all about 5-6 tables tops that had been served or was just being served tops. We were seated quickly our server took a good minute to get there we got water and a sprite with lemons! When the server returned with our water and sprite, she asked us if we needed more time with the menu, we responded that we didn't need more time we were ready to order. And we did! I ordered the buffalo wings for an App, and Chicken Piccata with vegetables and the starch was a barley mixed with chopped zucchini for my entree. My son ordered grilled salmon with mixed vegetables. The server later came back and said they ran out of salmon. So my son ordered a Philly cheesesteak, mind you we are from Philly, so we already knew this would be interesting at best just to see what they came up with! So they bring out the food quite quickly I might add which should have been a red flag for me that at least my order would be jacked, and it really was! The chicken piccata really looked like some un-breaded chicken tenders with a snot sauce which I guess was lemon juice with too much starch that got over cook and under hydrated. My son's Philly cheesesteak was laughable, and super huge soft roll with probably no more than 3-4 ounces of shaven steak, I hope it was steak because he ate all of it because he was hungry. The fries appeared to look and taster better, but I didn't take a picture of that because I was still trying to get over my dish. Our server never came back , almost like she was guilty of serving us and having to go to the kitchen and cook the food too. She never returned I had to get up and asked the host for our bill. The bill was $63 and change for that crap and a server that never came back to give us the bill. They come with the pay machine and on it had the tip amounts to check, it also had "no tip" suggested too, and I was surely tempted to use the "no tip" but what little we saw of the server she was nice, I guess! Anyway $75 for the worst restaurant experience ever! I don't think I will ever go back to any Silver Diner ever again or at least maybe never that late at night, because the food appeared to be prepared for late night partiers the probably wouldn't GAF. I wasn't that patron! I see why I cook my own food!

    Oatmeal and raisins

    Went in for a late breakfast and it was at best uneven. Seated immediately, the booth was clean and the server came by right away. Ice coffee was very good. I ordered oatmeal with raisins and a cup of fruit. The raisins turned out to be about 2ozs of raisins. Not nearly enough. The fruit cup was a few old strawberries and pineapple. No melon? Took awhile to get the check . The server did well.

    Silver Diner is located in a convenient shopping area with plenty of parking, which already makes it 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!

    One of my best friends and I wanted to spend some quality time together, so we kicked off Christmas Eve with a tennis class and decided to grab breakfast afterward . Normally, we'd opt for a trendier DC brunch spot, but since the class was in the Largo/Upper Marlboro area, we went with an old faithful: Silver Diner. We both knew one thing immediately - milkshakes were non-negotiable . We ordered the Mocha Holiday Shake, and wow... it was so good and they definitely don't skimp on the portion. Super rich, festive, and honestly could've been a meal on its own. For food, my friend ordered the steak and eggs, and I went slightly outside my comfort zone with the corned beef hash. I've maybe had corned beef hash once in my life and it's not something I'd usually order but I was in a weird mood where my usual go-tos (shrimp & grits or an omelet) just weren't doing it for me ‍. To my surprise, I loved it. The corned beef hash was served with potatoes, caramelized onions, and eggs, which I ordered scrambled with cheddar cheese . Everything tasted hearty, comforting, and like something your country relative would make at home, in the best way possible. Given it was Christmas Eve, the place was pretty packed, but we were seated right away (we arrived around 10:15am). The restaurant itself is quite large and also has a bar area with self-seating. Our server, a young guy who was likely a teenager was friendly and attentive, though a bit forgetful. I didn't hold that against him since it looked like he was covering quite a few tables and doing his best. Overall, the food and service were solid, but I do have one request: better hot sauce options . Tabasco is simply not real hot sauce. Crystal or Louisiana would be much more appropriate especially in the Black community . All in all, Silver Diner did exactly what it needed to do: comfort food, good vibes, and a nostalgic, reliable experience. I'd definitely return the next time I'm in the area.

    French toast with bacon
    Tamara S.

    My 1st time at this location. It's been a few years since I've been to one. Our waitress was great. I ordered French toast with a side of home fries. Our food came and it was luke warm that my butter didn't melt on my French toast. Disappointed in that. The home fries just had onions and cheese piled on top and not warm. A little disappointing in the food. Service was great.

    Shrimp & grits
    Devon O.

    I haven't been to an old school diner like this in ages. The nostalgic feel of the red chairs, the floor tiles, having a booth. Where many places today run to what's trendy, these were mostly classic dishes made with organic, clean ingredients. I liked this so much, I went for breakfast, had my mind blown and ran back for dinner the next day that I could. If I had to choose between them, I say go twice. Starting with breakfast, not enough menus today have a classic lumberjack breakfast. I asked for the local sausage and this was easily one of my favorite parts. The shrimp and grits took the spotlight. The grits you could eat with a fork (but were not dry!) The sausage was juicy and spicy, and I didnt feel like I had to look for shrimp. I would not suggest the eggrolls. New sauce. New flavor combo. Something else has to happen. The wings are legit. I didnt share any additional preference and the wings came saucy yet still crispy. The crab cake sandwich with lobster au jus, was Maryland. Everything I needed from Maryland in one delicious bite. I wish they also served lobster bisque to have that much more of the sauce. A very easy go to in the future.

    Lanham, MD isn't exactly a destination dining city, so stumbling onto Silver Diner and going back a second 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.

    Home fries

    Now, I'm a little disappointed to write this but as I say to enjoy what I thought would be a simple morning breakfast alone, I was joined by some kind of bug crawling throughout the bar area. I've been to this location before and haven't had any issues however if there's one bug there's likely more. I did let the server know and she sort of cringed and said she'll let someone know. I couldn't finish my good because I was so focused on watching where that bug was going.

    Caramel French Toast & Eggs
    Stacy G.

    I wrote a great 4 star review while waiting for the check that abruptly went to negative 48 stars (if possible). Went in, ate, had a nice time, and when we walked out the front door....SOAKED! There was a crew pressure washing the signs above the front door soaking every patron that walked out with dirty water! Zero excuse for this. Middle of the day, on a weekday, and during lunch time! Tons of patrons disgusted. Who planned this and why was no one telling them to stop?! Negative stats but now for the review I wrote BEFORE walking out the front door.... Clean, welcoming and fast service until we waited a while for the check. I had the caramel French toast with eggs and bacon. My husband had the tuna melt. Mine was fabulous. My husband said his sandwich was amazing but the fries were cold. Still a great meal in a fun place with . We will definitely be back here or try other locations.

    It's not just a diner. We are at the bar as we were pressed for time and table were a 20 minute wait. The customer service is very good however the food is even better. Everything we had was delicious- the mimosa could definitely do with some tweaking to make it delicious. The ambiance is good for a diner - check Them out. Your belly will thank you

Despite the bar being busy, we were greeted and served pretty quickly. The DC tap water is my go to drink and you definitely get your moneys worth. My husband ordered the hurricane and was very satisfied with the amount of liquor he could actually taste. For meals I had to get the tiger wings. I love that sauce so much and wish they sold the sauce by itself. Also got a side of the greens which were tasty and not overcooked, I just feel like the flavor is something I would get tired of after a while. My husband ordered the jambalaya and it was also good. When we lived in the area we used to frequent the restaurant for happy hour. They have remained consistent and I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the DMV.
