    Tomato basil soup
    Emma C.

    Silver diner always seems to be a hit or miss for me. I think I've cracked the formula for myself though. Whenever I go now I always get the tomato basil soup and so far I've been happy. This time I also got the bruschetta, I didn't care for the cheese it came with but the rest was delicious. I will note that it's usually loud and difficult to get ahold of somebody when you need them.

    We arrived 15 minutes before closing, and all we wanted was a little dessert. Instead of telling us to kick rocks, they sat us at the counter and sated my late night sweet tooth. The chocolate cake was a little on the sweet side, but beggars can't be choosers when it's close to midnight. 5 stars for friendliness and service. We were in and out in 11 minutes flat, and back in our car 4 minutes before closing. Incredible.

    The best part of this visit was the service. Samir did an awesome job taking care of my table. I was seated quickly and had high hopes. The diner has a cool retro interior and was well staffed. I ordered and quickly had my shake, I got the S'mores flavored one and it was tasty. I got the Smash Burger and it was very disappointing. First off, it's not a smash burger. If it was, they need to do a better job of training the kitchen how to smash it. It was just a small burger. The bun was way too dense, and the fries were limp and undercooked. I left about half my meal on the plate. Great service, cool venue, subpar food.

    Came here for dinner one night and it was pretty quiet. There were a lot of open tables. Our waiter was probably below average we had to ask for a lot of things, including silverware, water, the check, etc.. I thought the food was also very average and I thought I could make a better sandwich at home. Not sure I would want to come back again.

    It was my first time at Silver Diner, recommended by a friend. The place was pretty packed during brunch and quite noisy with people chatting and a baby crying. After we were seated, no one came by with water or menus for the first 10 minutes, which was a bit frustrating. The food, however, was not what I expected from a typical diner--it was surprisingly healthy, local, and fresh. I especially enjoyed the fruit; the strawberries were sweet, better than what you usually find at grocery stores.

    I would just like to start with this is 100% my bad. I hail from New Jersey... The land of diners... So I went into this diner just ordering my usual not thinking much of it. That was until I got the bill and saw that two eggs bacon and breakfast potatoes with a side of fruit cost $19 lol. And that wasn't including tip yet. In Jersey that would've been an $8 breakfast, maybe $10. I'm not knocking the establishment, I'm more so knocking my naïvety not realizing where I was and that things are just not priced normally in the area haha. So that's not saying I'll never come back. The atmosphere was great, the staff was even better, and the food was delicious! I'll just be more prepared with my wallet next time. So word to the wise if you're coming from out of town... Remember where you are lol. Do as I say not as I do lol. Gotta love DC. Thank you, Silver Diner for the delicious breakfast!

    Great ingredients, great vibe, and great staff. Location was very convenient to my hotel. Love the vintage feel. Customer service was outstanding. Don't miss out on this gem.

    The service was okay. The food was fair. There wasn't anything overwhelming or delicious about it.

    Caesar Salad?

    For the longest time, my son refused to come to Silver Diner. Maybe it was the service or the food but now he is older, his tastes are much more refind & adult-like. Don't get me wrong, he still likes some kids foods but he is appreciating what the adults eat. That's good and bad. Good that he is trying new and more complex meals but bad, it's more expensive. We were greeted and seated within a couple minutes. The server was attentive and efficient with our drinks (water) & our order. This evening, my son iis having Surf & Turf (Scallops & Tenderloin medallions). I am having the Flat Iron Steak. Mine came with a soup or salad and I opted with the salad. When it came out it had tomatoes along with different greens, croutons, parm cheese and caesar dressing. It was good. Our food came out later. The Flat Iron steak was ordered medium rare but it was more rare. I won't complain cause at least it isn't over cooked. See photo. I opted out of bleu cheese butter. The steak was seasoned well on the outside. The mash potatoes, spinach and heavenly fried onions were delicious. My son's tenderloins were a bit overcooked (ordered medium rare but it was more medium-medium well). They were still good. He ate it without fuss. The scallops were not cooked enough so they were on the rare side which was disappointing and tasted fishy. Oh well. He loved the fries and spinach. Overall, the items on the menus are more expensive and fancier than traditional diners, but Silver Diner isn't a normal diner. It's got upscale items and of higher quality. The execution of the food still needs to improve but the service has improved. We'll be back...

    Food is fresh from the farm, and tastes like it. Everything was very well prepared and appealing. A bit pricey, but worth it.

    We've been to both Carnegie Diners in Midtown Manhattan and like them very much, so we wanted to…read moretry the Carnegie Diner in Vienna. But driving by on weekends, and seeing the crowds bursting out the door, we deferred visiting the Vienna Carnegie Diner. Instead, on our first time, we came midday on a weekday and there weren't that many people and we were seated immediately. Overall, service was fine, though a bit in disarray because we had two different servers ask if we were ready to order. We both ordered the very good Chicken Salad sandwich. It's huge and really makes for two meals. It comes with very decent fries and an excellent side salad that has been drizzled with two different tasty dressings. We saw lentil soup on the menu, and if it's like the lentil soup at the Carnegie Diners in NYC, I highly recommend it. We absolutely will be back.

    Entrees are between $15 and $25. Appetizers are not much cheaper. My spouse ordered simple pesto…read morepasta. That's what she ordered. What she received was Sunrise Retirement Home Basil pasta. It was bland and flavorless, lonely and sad. The pesto appeared to be powdered basil mixed with strong olive oil. Sliced cherry tomatoes accompanied the dish for reasons unknown. The nearest roasted pine nuts in this pesto were still on a shelf at the grocery store. I, however, ordered the bowl of chili. As it appears in a photo in the menu. I did not receive a bowl. I received an espresso sized cup of chili for $15.95. And lots of tortilla chips. In all honesty this appetizer should be called "a plate of tortilla chips with a spritzer of chili on the side. Last but not least...there were no $5 dollar shakes on this menu but there was $5 for a bottomless cup of coffee. Too expensive for lunch. Too expensive for dinner. Too expensive for breakfast. Service was fantastic. The wait staff there is the best in the area.
