We came to the silver diner on Sunday around 11:30am and my oh my, the place was jumpin! There was a long line out of the door but the estimated wait time was only 10-15 minutes. We opted to take two seats at the bar area. After we sat and waited for 10 minutes with no acknowledgment I wished we had waited for a table. We flagged down the bartender/server and asked for water and menus after 10 more minutes we received water and placed our order. I didn't realize the gentleman next to us had been waiting and didn't get service either. Meanwhile the woman who came after us and sat was served and received her food and drink in record time. My partner ordered the lumberjack breakfast and I ordered a scrambler. Everyone around us received their food within 5-7 minutes of ordering. We finally received our food and I was very disappointed the fruit was soggy, we didn't get any condiments for our meals, my partners meal was lukewarm and when we asked for things the servers seemed annoyed. I understand that Sundays can be busy but that's not an excuse for poor service. I asked for the manager and she stated that our food may not have been put in right away. She offered to correct the mistakes that had been made and ultimately I ended up getting a new meal altogether. I appreciated her attentiveness and care to correct the matter. I'm really disappointed in my experience and hope that it will be better next time as this location is not too far from my house. read more

I came here with a few members on my team and we decided to treated ourselves and break bread together. We were seated pretty quickly and the waiter was pretty patient with us as we did have 8 people in our group! I've been to the location in Navy yard so this was my first time at the lanham location. It was pretty decent. I don't think anything stood out to me as amazing, but I nice bite to eat if you want something quick and easy. I orders the French toast and it was good. It was a busy day at Silver Diner and it looks like a typical diner, so you can be casual and comfort coming here. We did sit and talk for a while without the waiter asking us to give up our table, which was nice. It really was a great time to catch up and I'm sure I'll be back one day! read more

Went to Silver Diner to have a late breakfast since we were off work and they had several plant based options on their menu. Once we arrived, we were promptly seated by the hostess where we waited over 15 minutes for a server to come to our table. The restaurant wasn't overly busy and there were several servers walking around to other tables, but no one was greeting us. We were just about to walk out when a young lady came over to take our order. Maybe we should've taken this as a sign, but we were hungry and already here. When the food came out, the disappointment continued. The pancakes were undercooked and inedible (the inside was gummy and wet) and the avocado toast was runny with a strange "tangy" flavor (it seems like they mix salsa verde with the avocado possibly, or use guacamole for the avocado toast and not straight avocado). It wasn't inedible, but it definitely wasn't to my liking. The plant based sausage was ok, but nothing to get excited over. It took another 15+ minutes before our server came back to our table to check on us, where we asked for the pancakes to be taken off the bill. To her credit, she did ask if we'd like them remade, but at this point we'd already been waiting longer than necessary and truthfully, after disliking both of our entrees, we weren't confident to order anything else. We opted to pay our bill and leave. We likely won't be back. read more

Well, hunger drove me into this Silver Diner on search of a steak or some kinda beef based entre that my palette desired. Silver Diner prides themselves on much of their food being locally sourced, locally prepared. I quickly decided on the Philly style cheese sandwich with mushrooms and a side of onion rings. The sandwich was delicious and flavorful. Maybe some extra onions could have gone into it, but I'm not picking on that. The fried onion rings were large, well battered, and delicious. I topped this hunger quenching meal off with some grape juice and a burp, and I was out the door, whistling as I drove home, totally full and grinning. Well done, Silver Diner, I just might stop by again when in the neighborhood. Oh yes, my waiter, Olaoluma, was timely, attentive and provided great suggestions and information. Well done. read more

Delicious, had a wonderful time there with great service and great ambiance to match. We had the mushroom Swiss burgers with sweet potato fries! Their chocolate cake and ice cream was delicious as well read more

I'm not sure what was going on but they didn't have salmon or crab meat. The fish and chips had thicker pieces than usual. The appetizers were luke warm. The apple pie was good and a nice portion size. The server was very attentive with a positive attitude. The restaurant looked clean but multiple plates and utensils were turned in due to significant stains. read more

Silver diner looks and feels like an old diner. It is homey to say the least. I had never been to one before, and my first experience wasn't the best. We waited a while to be seated, but that was no big deal. When we did get seated, it took forever for our server to come to our table, and when she finally did, she wasn't the nicest. The entire service she was short and acted like she was bothered. After we got our food, she came by once. I will say the food was good, but the service is subpar. read more

My wife and I love this place. Have only been here twice. This time I had their Pickle Brined Chicken and Waffles, which is definitely different than your regular chicken and waffles, especially if you choose to eat it with their sausage gravy...which I did. That makes it much more savory but I thought it was fantastic. I'm already trying to figure out when I'm coming back because I also really wanted their Bay Benedict so I'll let you know next time about that dish. My wife had the Quinoa Farro Bowl which she said was the best breakfast she's ever had. The ingredients for that are not your usual fare and were excellent. We'll be back!!' read more

Circling back...the silver diner is officially my malt shake spot when I'm in the area. This kids shake is the perfect size. I was able to quickly get my treat to-go. I watched staff members prepare it with care (lots of ice cream, malt powder and chocolate syrup). I didn't quite care for the Hershey's chocolate syrup used in the shake because it has an artificial (but nostalgic) flavor...but it didn't take away too much! I'll be back to work my way through the flavors read more

The family asked me out to have breakfast/brunch and conversation. I chose Silver Diner because my wife and I had dined there previously and enjoyed the food,service, and especially the burnt orange Mimosa. However, on this occasion, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of food and general presentation. Arrives early to meet family at 10:00, upon being seated, the table was not prepared. The young lady came wiped the table off, left the stack of menus on the table, and departed. Shortly, our server arrived at which time we took it upon ourselves to pass out the menus in preparation for ordering. I ordered a mimosa, which arrived in a cracked glass and had to be sent back...actually, I had to walk it back since the server did not return in a timely manner. I ordered garlic spinach, which was exceptional, along with a chicken sandwich and fries. Fries were good lightly salted and cooked just right... However, the chicken was overdone, making it dry, burnt in some areas, and stringy. The server was pleasant and polite, yet slow. Ohhh and finally, the burnt orange Mimosa has been removed from the menu...bummer. The Cucumber Mimosa did not fill the void...tasted like a watered-down ginger ale. read more

Good restaurant in a great location. Lobster roll was awesome! Service was great n friendly. Ambiance was satisfactory

Came into here for a men's gathering and was pleasantly surprised. CHRIS - is a GREAT waiter and really knows the menu. He advised I get the French Toast. It was so good I ordered it twice. The Bacon ordered Crispy was delicious as well. The wings could be cooked a little more. I could have totally done without. All in all I'll have to revisit this place. I wish they had the brownie so I'll get that next time for sure. read more

The first time we came here, the food and drinks were great. The second time we came, we ordered chicken wings for one of our appetizers, salmon and shrimp with one of our meals, and the Philly omelette for another meal. I mentioned those meats to explain that unfortunately seasoning meat is not their specialty. If we go back there, we will stick with drinks and breakfast food. The meat was so badly seasoned that I had to send back my salmon and shrimp. My husband ate his Philly omelet, but he told me the same thing about the meat not being seasoned. we brought home the chicken wing appetizer and if I can show an emoji, it would be one of the awful faces. You can tell that they cook all meat and then throw a lot of seasoning on top of it before sending it to the table. THAT is horrible. I have 3 stars because 1. The wait time is never as long as they say. Which is very nice, but I kind of wish they told us the accurate time so we didn't walk to the park when they tell us 45 min wAit and then have to run back because they text us at 25 minutes. Although the shorter wait is nice, the inconvenience of running back is not nice. I had to tell other families not to walk away bc the wait is not really 45 minutes. Those families thanked us and stayed outside instead of walking to the park with their kids. 2nd star is because the wait staff has wonderful customer service. The hostesses and the waiters have always been great. So they get another star for that. 3rd star is the appearance of a clean environment and the location is beautiful. I say appearance only because we noticed A LOT of flies in pockets. Above each table, there are hooks for coats, to go bags, purses, and each one had 2 flies flying around it. That was very strange. Now...the diner lost 2 stars because the men's bathroom only has 1 stall and the meat is not seasoned properly. Meat should be seasoned before cooking it so the seasoning thoroughly gets through the meat. Also, the salmon and shrimp were tough. You can tell they were not fresh or idk it was just horrible. I don't typically give less than 4 stars, but I explained above why I did. read more

Food is great comes to you piping hot and delicious. Service is fast and efficient. Prices are compatible.

Great service and from the bartender Cory. I always come back just for the ambience and great food!

I had high hopes but they fell flat. We were a party of 4. We ordered spinach & artichoke egg rolls, and the fried shrimp appetizer; prime rib sandwich, triple marinated chicken sandwich; crab cake melt; the meatloaf dinner which came with a small crab and corn chowder; 3 dirty orange drinks, and 1 peach drink... all non-alcoholic, and an apple pie a la mode. The egg rolls were ok 3 out of 5, the shrimp were excellent 5 out of 5; the sandwiches were very good 4 out of 5 although the accompanying fries were not that good; the meatloaf was hands down the worst I have EVER had in my life, it tasted like mostly mildly salty bread. This was my order and if it hadn't come with vegetables, mashed potatoes and chowder, I'd have gone home hungry. So 1 out of 5 for the meatloaf. The chowder was blah but at least it was hot, 2 out of 5. The apple pie had a good crust but the apples were undercooked, 2 out of 5. Service was good 3 out of 5. The drinks were excellent 5 out of 5. We'd come back for the drinks and shrimp but nothing else. read more

Had a taste for a chicken Caesar salad and Dat Jerk wasn't open as they haven't updated their business hours. Ordered a salad for $14 which once I got home realized had no chicken, nor fresh parmesan. The salad had lettuce, and a lot of old meely tomatoes along with some hard croutons. It left a lot to be desired and I will not return, a chicken Caesar salad is one of your most basic things to make. read more

The food was good, decent, mediocre. BUTTTTT My food came out cold. We asked for it to be warmed up and it took like 10 minutes just for it to be put in the microwave and taken out. Extremely unprofessional environment, too. While customers were waiting, the entire staff gathered around the bar and was just talking and chatting, as if they weren't on the clock. That's bad management. The milkshakes are good, but the crab and corn soup looked like vomit. Nonetheless we ate. read more

The day I went I really wanted to get to Crab Cake Benedict. They said it would be ready in an hour. My stomach was not having that so I ordered the corned beef hash with eggs. I asked for my eggs fried hard because I prefer not to have juicy eggs on my plate. I also ordered coffee. The pot was bottomless. I only had room for two cups. When my dish came it was paparazzi ready. They set me at a window seat which had superior lighting. The eggs has some brown patches, however it is hard to get beautiful eggs when you ask for them to be cooked hard. The food was tasty. The dish also came with potatoes. The staff was nice from the time I entered the building until the time I left. I've gotten the chocolate cake from here in the past, which was phenomenal. I recommend this location. read more

This was my first time here and I've been wanting to try Silver Diner for the longest. I was so excited that my little one was still able to get his birthday shake and meal. The pancakes were made to perfection. I enjoyed ever bite of my meal (pancakes, eggs, turkey bacon). My little's vegan shake was good to me but he didn't care for it so they switched it out. He enjoy his Mac and cheese with the hot dog (he tried to get seconds ) . My mom's in law said her food was amazing. The service from the young lady was great. I love when I have a young adult that's very pleasant and well manner servicing me, it really makes everything better. Also, this place was very clean and we got seated right away. I can't wait to go back for more at different locations. read more

This is my second review. We returned to the restaurant to dine- in about a month ago after a not do great experience prior to then. The most recent experience was nice- we had an attentive server and the restaurant was relatively quiet (in between lunch and dinner hours). Our food was good and came in "diner sized portions," meaning we had enough to take home for a full lunch the next day. I had a previous review posted on YELP regarding the issues I experienced with several TO GO orders. I was contacted by Rob, who addressed my concerns. Thank you. read more

Zuri was excellent. Our meals were very good, too. We don't often come to this location and I am glad we did this time. Great job!

First I want to Say, Service was Great ! But the Food We had Not so Much. The Shrimp Scampi was Bland and shrimp were over cooked so they were like rubber. The Crab corn chowder was to Watered down just tasted like corn with some Hot spice. read more

Awful experience. Was sat and waited over 30 min before a server came to our table while other waiters sat and chatted at the bar. Don't waste your time here. read more

I used to not be a fan of silver dollar but they have completely changed the menu and revamped. I now love silver diner! I got the stuffed French toast and it's good, I love the apples, and the yummy cream. The pumpkin cold brew is good too, it's a mix of coffee but also more like a milkshake. Ashley was our server she was very good and attentive. I will return! read more

Waiter was nice he tried his best but I guess he was overwhelmed. When my breakfast came. I had ordered two eggs over easy pancakes and bacon. They bought me scrambled eggs and sausage. I told him they took it. They came back twice with the same order and I said the pancake is cold. Why is the pancake cold and I'm just getting the manager did not he was not apologetic at all. The waiter was so it'll be a while while go back. He didn't even deduct anything but he gonna take off the eggs that was the only thing that was hot and then added the bacon that I didn't get bad experience that time. read more

I clicked on the 1star reviews to make sure I wasn't tripping. And I was not. The Lanham branch leaves MUCH to be desired. I am a Silver Diner aficionado and have been patronizing for years. Even after my home SD left Laurel I still ordered throughout the pandemic. I'm a loyalist and really get the same items all the time. This birthday treat visit was nice because of the gorgeous day even through we are overlooking the parking lot. My staple is the tuna melt and mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, my ******** cheese was not melted on my melt and that's just rude! I decided to take a sweet souvenir home only to be informed that this diner does not have malt. Malt is a powder put in a shake that gives it a certain nostalgic flavor. Somehow, that costs is too much for this diner to invest in. I ordered the Deluxe Oreo shake (no malt) and the flakes of Oreo were just decorative because this was definitely a vanilla shake. You may not care, but these joints are about ten dollars. Let alone the caloric hit I was willing to take, it needs to be perfect or at least up to par with the NUMEROUS Silver Diners in the area. Thumbs down. I will make sure to not order Uber Eats/Door Dash from this one. I took no pics. read more

This classic diner gives you all the flavors in their burgers! The best part is the ability to customize the meat you would like, I am partial to bison meat. The flavor combinations were top notch. Burger was seasoned perfectly with an array of spices! If you want a great burger this is definitely going to meet your needs! read more

Needed lunch and had the kiddos so we stopped by Silver Diner before heading to Wegmans. It took awhile to be seated and then it took a while to get our shakes so that's the reason for rating. Food was decent but our standards are very high!!! My steak was tender, you get 3 pieces. The spinach made the dish for me. Garlic minced and cooked well with the lemon drizzle was really flavorful. My son enjoyed his salmon, the girls had Mac and cheese and silver dollar pancakes. No complaining on the waiter, all of them look very young but professional. If you are hungry after or before shopping it's worth stopping by. read more

Aite so BOOM Met my best girl for breakfast this morning! I seen so many people flocking to the front door...so I walked in & jumped in line as fast as I could. It was definitely packed. Our wait time was about 40-45min. Not too bad. Drinks: Tropical Mimosas we SO GOOD. Very light & refreshing! If they were bottomless we'd be in trouble!! Food: I got the Belgian waffles w/ bacon & scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese..side of home fries as well. Food was good. However I had to send my waffle back cause it was HAIR in my butter!! Our waiter Reese took care of it right away & I had a fresh hot waffle in as little as 5 minutes..with no hair this time around! Bestie had a short stack of pancakes that looked sooo good! And the Philly omelette that came with a biscuit & side of potatoes! Besides the hair in my butter...the food was just want we needed!! read more

When I first heard of the Silver Diner I was thinking of the old school basic pancakes, simple eggs, and bacon and really basic food but the two times that I have gone here I have not been disappointed and it was not the simple basic menu that I was thinking. The menu has a great variety of options for people with all types of eating from gluten free to vegan. These options are listed on the menu as well and not on any secret menu that you need to ask the server for or make a special request to have something modified or adjusted for you. They do have a lot of takeout orders and I saw them all lined up both times I went to dine-in so know that, that option is available to you as well. When I came in there was a wait both times but I didn't have to wait a long time. The host estimated a time and I didn't have to wait as long as expected which was nice. Once I sat down at the table my servers were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and had their opinions about the items on the menu. I had the vegan tacos with a side salad which was filling and not heavy. The dressing was light and refreshing. the tacos had a light bbq flavor that wasn't over powering. I also had the tropical mimosa which made me think that I was on an island and it was fruity and refreshing. read more

From the eclectic, multifaceted menu with flexitarian options to the welcoming, unrefined and cozy ambiance - this Silver Diner location is by far one of my absolute favorite dining places in the area that I can't seem to frequent enough! Every time I visit this location, I get to stimulate my taste buds with something new, as they have a plethora of menu options that would accommodate the carnivorous meat-lovers, sea animal lovers and vegetarians alike! While the customer service experience is typically super exceptional, Sequoia was my server during my most recent visit, who was very informative, provided the best food and drink recommendations, and was SPOT ON with drink refills and table check-ins. If you're looking for a restaurant with a homey feel, southern flair and with good food that warms the heart and feeds the soul, do your taste buds a favor and visit the Silver Diner location in Lanham, MD! You will NOT be disappointed! read more
