I normally don't have a problem here when I sit at the bar.Came in to a empty bar ordered my food it took a while then it set on the counter with everybody working around it but nobody would bring it I got their attention but they just looked at me like I was speaking Greek. 4 people at the bar now all eating still don't have food,ask fo the Manager no one came. Someone finally picked up my plate and brought them to us of course the food was cold sent it back. Took a while again to recook it but they returned with an incomplete plate, said I had to wait on my bread, again everyone that came after me eating and enjoying their food at the bar. With that said I left I went over to the manager and explain to her what happened and why I was leaving she just look confused and in respond, I told her I have a nice day and I left. I really hope this place can do better with their service they got enough people working there but it doesn't seem like half of them know what they're doing or busy socializing with each other. Please do better silver diner. read more

I give this just under three, but I thought two was not appropriate. The place is very nice. It does have the diner look but it's upscale. In my opinion, though, the menu is too upscale. I am looking for a diner feel, it won't be this place. Service was OK. The server wasn't rude, but just seemed like he was going through the motions. I enjoyed my tomato and mozzarella sandwich. I can't recall the actual name. The mozzarella had an interesting fluffy texture. I did not mind it, and I really enjoyed the sandwich, though it was not as filling as I would have liked. The other person who got that did not really like the texture of the mozzarella. The small portion of fries were good. The coleslaw was OK, but I don't like celery and there was celery in it. To pay the bill, the server brought over the little machine and handed it to me to pay. All it showed was the total so I asked him to show me the items. He took it back and pushed a few buttons. I looked at it while he stood there and then said OK. it defaulted to a 22% tip which I think is just unreasonable. Sure, give that option but to default to 22% is wrong. The person I was with and I had a really good time so a three it is. read more

My wife and I are in DC for her birthday weekend. We had a long day and decided to get dinner at the diner near the hotel since they're open late. We arrive around 10:30, hungry and thinking there's still time to eat and get served. We read the reviews online and figured this was a better option over Applebees. Unfortunately it was not. We arrive and get seated right away. Things are going great; we previewed the menu and looked on Yelp. We ask our server for water and look over the menu. A different server comes up and takes our order. 5 mins after our order is taken, the original server asks if we're ready. We told her that another server has taken our order and was surprised. First red flag. We dismiss it as miscommunication. We wait patiently and our food arrives. The server who took our order asks if we need anything else. My wife notices that we don't have any utensils on the table and ask for them. Second red flag. Why were we seated and not given utensils in the first place? We begin to eat our food and her drink arrives; a Campfire Cold Brew. It looks weird. The milk was in the bottom and it looked like it was already curdling. We try to get the attention of the hostess, and our server's attention, to no avail. The hostess was already looking in our direction but somehow did not notice my hand raised, trying to get her attention. Some time goes on and the server who took our order comes back, and we bring it to his attention. He states that he forgot to put the cream on top ( or something like that) but my wife retorts that it looks nothing like the menu photo. We decide to send it back. At this point we asked for containers and packed our food and left disappointed and angry. Service and consideration from staff was nonexistent. Good looking building, but customer service is severely severely lacking. Please address this. read more

Classic diner was happy to see so many Buffalo Bills fans!!! GO BILLS (Game vs Washington today)!!! The diner was sooooo busy but we spotted a couple of counter stools and grabbed them right away. You can't help but notice how friendly the staff is. We watched one staff member pour morning breakfast alcoholic drinks one after the other, which made us wonder if people were getting lubircated for the big game. The food was served rather quickly but I had to admit the coffee refills were rather slow. Breakfast doesn't take a lot to create and makes the most money for diners and restaurants so most do not create a wow and the Sliver Diner just served good breakfasts but nothing that makes me want to hurry back sometime in the future. But the brothers enjoyed the start of our day ... GO BILLS!!! read more

Dec 21, 2025. I went here to celebrate my aunts birthday. We ordered basic breakfast items , pancakes , eggs, breakfast meat. We waited for an hour for our food that came out cold and wrong . I explained to the manager the situation. They said they would remake the food , however that took about another 30 minutes at the point my aunt didn't want the food. I asked the manager to comp the toast eggs and potatoes my other aunt ordered because we came to eat and celebrate together not to watch her eat . Essentially I was glad at least the birthday girl was able to eat , but after the comp conversation the manager stated it would be best if we didn't eat there again. Np. The manager was Spanish and the majority of people working there were Spanish as well. They had about 4 token blacks there . The food me and my other aunt ordered was cold , eggs running and breakfast meat not cooked well as we ordered it . I realize that customer service doesn't exist anymore when you R black. I have been going to silver dinners for yearsssssss I use to have that blue card and everything. It's really sad how the service has gone down hill. I'll take his advice tho or recommendation and not eat there again. Thanks for ruining our birthday breakfast. I didn't take any pics. My aunts both are older and recommend writing a review afterwards in the car so. read more

Silver diners menu has gotten so much better over the years and very much mindful of various diets. One of my favorite ways to eat is following the Mediterranean diet and they just launched a Mediterranean menu. I had a delicious quinoa chicken sausage bowl. No issues with the food. I am concerned about my servers lack of basic menu knowledge. Some of the dishes had a symbol next to them and I didn't see what it indicated. I asked my server what it meant and he literally said "I think it's just design". Puzzled, I said "design? Usually symbols next to dishes indicate something". He said "yeah, idk, it's probably just design". This is a huge issue! What if i couldn't read well and really needed some help making sure I understood what I was ordering? Really bizarre. read more

So, silver diner is a place you go to, to satisfy your hunger. Like.... It does the job. Don't look for glitz and glamour, just look to be fed. Our server was attentive and made sure we had what we needed. The atmosphere was cool. It was a regular family diner, where you could eat, talk, drink, and enjoy your food. The peach pie for 2 and the Philly omelette were both delicious. Potatoes had no seasoning, so be prepared to put some salt and pepper on it. All in all, the experience was good, food was decent, and the silver diner did what it was supposed to do. read more

This has restored my faith in silver diners. I guess I've been going to the wrong ones. I went around 11:00 a.m. on a friday. Was seated right away. The service was great. The food was what I was scared of due to previous locations. I had the Organic Bison Huevos Rancheros & it was awesome! Seasoned so good. I'm a big tea person and the tea they gave me was not Bland at all. I'll definitely be back to this location! 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

It's a diner, folks, so let's keep our expectations reasonable. Cute place and there were quite a number of people there considering we came about 9-9:30 am. They were out of the horchata cold brew, so my daughter opted for water. My heart sank when the waitress said they didn't have coffee because the machine was acting up. However, she came back with our waters and let us know it was up and running. I did ask for a second cup of the bottomless coffee and the waitress took my cup away to refill it. For my own piece of mind, I'd prefer the coffee refill to be poured at the table. I loved the Philly steak omelette I ordered. I was so happy to see that the meat used in it was halal. The home fries with carmelized onions were less inspiring. I left most of them - the baby had 3-4 cubes of my potatoes. I should have gotten a side of fruit instead. The biscuit that came with it looked unappetizing, and when I tried it, it was a bit too sweet. My daughter ordered a Benedict smash burger minus the hollandaise sauce and bacon and subbed onion rings for the French fries. The onion rings came out hot and crispy - perfect! My daughter enjoyed her burger. We also ordered a scrambled egg for the baby. The service was pretty slow. The wait for the food was a little long as was the wait for the check. My daughter had to let someone else know to send our server with the check. If we are back in the area, we might stop by again. read more

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

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

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 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

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

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

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.

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
