    IBrussel Sprouts & Lentils

    Another great meal. Selected a lite option after a big lunch and the Brussels with lentils was perfect. Besides the food, love the atmosphere and the service is always fantastic. Anna took care of me and was kind to go over the many new dinner options! Try this place!!

    Silver Diner is one of our breakfast/brunch staples in the area. You usually can count on good food and service. Well Usually you can. At this location the service was so-so. The food was good though and the traditional diner atmosphere was alive and well. For breakfast if you are limited in options, this is a safe bet.

    Food is delicious. Always a variety and new items on the menu. Service has been consistently good. Ambiance is very casual. The resturant is very popular.

    Every table has a functional jukebox. For $0.25, you get to listen to songs from 60s to a few present

    Stumbled upon this spot after my son's appointment and him craving for a patty melt. A 50s style feel with a small jukebox placed at every booth. For $0.25, you can choose from a small select playlist ranging from 50s to current hits. The service was fast and friendly and the food was prepared perfectly to order. My son really enjoyed his meal and listening to some oldies. He is already asking to return! Enjoy!

    A solid diner experience in the Merrifeld area. There were a lot of cute aesthetic details, such as the jukebox, dining booths, and sleek retro design. The food was alright, and the service was quick. A great option if you want to feel a bit nostalgic!

    Philly Steak Omelette
    Holly A.

    I've come to silver diner since I was child along with my father. I was sad they didn't have the chocolate banana French toast that we used to get. However, this time I decided to try the Philly omelet with potatoes and a side of fruit for some sweetness. I was not disappointed. The omelet was amazing and the halal ribeye it was made with was well seasoned. I was surprised when I found mushrooms hidden in their which added a little saltiness. Everything went well with my piping hot coffee

    Lots of plates and bowls of food just left there with no one serving them.... smdh ‍

    The beginning of this dining experience did not start off very well. First it took a while to get our order in and waited a while for our food but eventually we got it. My son got the tomato bisque. I didn't even know he knew what it was. He said it was good but not as good as Medieval Times!? ‍ He got his soup early. I didn't get my soup & side til he got his main course. The Yukon Gold mashed potatoes were fair but could have used some more flavor via butter or bacon! The crab and corn chowder was flavorful but not much crab (more crab juice) and a lot of corn. There was a hint of spice but the crab meat was missing. My son's flat iron steak (ordered medium rare) looked great with bleu cheese and butter topping, side of yukon gold mashed taters, fried crispy onion strings & sautèd spinach with garlic. When my son cut open the steak it was grey. Over cooked. Medium well. I had to alert our server. He showed it to the manager who showed it to the head chef. He made a face and shook his head. After 8 mins, my son got a new one with an apology from the server & manager and a coupon for a free entree next time. He cut it open and red/pink juice spilled out. It was a perfect medium rare. He ate the entire steak. He said it was juicy and flavorful. We also noticed (we had a good view of the kitchen & line) that the head chef cooked the steak. So what started off as a swing & miss was made up with a home run.

    Silver diner continues to be our lunch spot. Their healthy section of the menu has a good variety of protein, salad, and sandwich selection. The lemon chicken piccata was flavorful. Portion size was on the smaller end, we ordered dessert to fill up our tummy. Service was fast, given lunch time on weekdays, there were not a lot of people to start with. The restaurant is clean, each table has a real juke box for customers to play music the old way. Will come again!

    Serving size was good, coffee & pancakes were good as well! everything was a 10/10 , staff was also friendly & always came to check on how we were doing

    Fish and Chips
    Andrew G.

    I ordered the fish and chips for pickup. The wait time was 30 minutes, which was no problem at all. My order was ready as promised, and I asked for malt vinegar, which they promptly provided. You can see from my photo that this is a very substantial meal. Three fillets, a full Caesar salad, a small side of coleslaw, and a small portion of fries. The fish was absolutely outstanding, as was the Caesar salad. The coleslaw was so small that they shouldn't have bothered. The fries were pathetic, a cold soggy mess. My recommendation: This entree is worth ordering, however, substitute the vegetables for the fries and choose something other than the coke slaw.

    Every table has one.

It's definitely a nice spot for brunch and catching up with friends. The only downside for me is the noise level. The music tends to be a little too loud, and I feel like that makes everyone speak louder as well, so the overall atmosphere can get pretty loud. I was hoping to sit down and get some work done, but it was difficult to concentrate.

We came for a friend's birthday brunch and ordered a little bit of everything. The menu has so many dishes that are different from what you normally see at brunch. My top three were easily the Dulce de Leche Pancakes, Shrimp & Grits and Lorraine Quiche. The pancakes were out of this world and something I would specifically come back for. The Shrimp & Grits have a chorizo étouffée that gives them a completely different flavor, and the quiche was incredibly moist rather than dry like so many others I've tried. We also enjoyed the beef empanadas, The Blue Ridge steak sandwich, salmon and charred peach salad, and prosciutto, onion and arugula pizza. Even the peach in the salad was surprisingly subtle and didn't overpower the dish. Don't skip the bakery case either! They have gorgeous fruit-shaped desserts, including an adorable lemon, plus plenty of pastries if you just want coffee and something sweet. Our server Diego was fantastic, and we even got to meet Chef Godfrey, who surprised us with dessert. They also have a patio and private spaces upstairs for events and celebrations. Overall, such a fun find with a really unique menu. I would absolutely return!

Why bother ordering types of drinks? They have a big jugs of tea and lemonade at the stand. We tried a couple of seasonal menu items. Ordered the ricotta pancakes with peach compote. Usually, the ricotta is baked into the pancakes in the recipes I see. These pancakes were totally dry with a huge wallop of ricotta spread on top with canned peaches on the side. Extremely dry. I had to go to the counter and ask for maple syrup. Still, I would definitely never order this again. The pancakes were not only dry, but also hard. The feta avocado spread with flatbread is spicy. It doesn't say that on the menu. The flatbread is nice, but the spread is a bit too spicy for my taste. At least the staff are friendly. Again, people love this place, I don't. This is the third time I've tried it. I won't be back.

Service: First, I have to call out the service. It was fantastic and the manager was wonderful. When we walked in, the manager showed us the menu, gave recommendations on what to get (get the breakfast plate and hot egg plate), said no pressure, and introduced us to the woman working the cash register who also brought us our food. He later sent us two baklava pieces after we finished our meal. We were beyond surprised and let me say...they were delicious. He was so nice, the vibes of the restaurant were so friendly and it was a welcoming atmosphere. Food: We got the breakfast plate and hot egg plate which was recommended and is the best deal. For the egg plate I got the menemen (tomatoes and peppers with eggs) which was so good. I don't like cooked tomatoes, so I am not sure why I like this or how they make it, but it is delicious and not super tomatoey. The breakfast plate comes with 2 pita, dips, tomato, cucumber. We also got the Turkish Sausage eggs which are great and have slim cut pieces of sausage in them. We also got 2 simits, 2 boreks and 2 teas. The baklava was outstanding! We tried what I think was the regular which had a floral tone to it, the chocolate and the tahini. The tahini was my favorite by far - I had never tasted anything like it. Each piece is $2 and affordable. Seating: There is indoor and outdoor seating. I believe there may have been 8 tables inside? It is set up well in that you can make the tables smaller or bigger. Square and round tables. Good for groups larger than 4. Outdoor seating has a ton of tables and was in the shade when we were there. Parking: Super easy.

While a scramble sounds simple on paper, it is easy to overcook the vegetables. This one was executed perfectly, with every vegetable done just right. The thin-sliced potatoes were highly seasoned and stood out, moving away from the standard, heavy breakfast spuds you get at most places. The presentation across the board was excellent. The latte arrived with a nice touch--a small side cookie and a club soda to cleanse the palate, which shows a level of intentionality you don't always find. The staff members were incredibly friendly and gracious from start to finish. With fast Wi-Fi and a comfortable environment, it is an ideal spot to get some quality laptop time. It's a great addition to the local lineup.

    I've wanted to try this place for a long time, and honestly, it was a letdown…read more I walked in with one other person--so a party of two--and while it was busy, there were clearly open tables. We were told we could sit at the bar or outside, but when we asked for one of the open tables, we were denied because they were "reserved for parties of three." That just doesn't make sense. We're still paying customers, ready to order food and drinks. Denying service like that--especially with empty tables in plain sight--feels unnecessary and rigid. I even asked twice, hoping for a little flexibility, but the answer didn't change. I work in the service industry, and this is exactly the kind of situation where you make an exception or use some common sense. Instead, it felt like policy over hospitality. Really disappointing experience for a place I was excited to try.
