Usually a very pleasant experience until we recently got a to go order. Not only did this location fill the order incorrectly (my wife ordered her sandwich on white bread and they gave her a sandwich on wheat bread) but my wife also found a long black hair in her sandwich. (My wife's hair is light brown and was wrapped at the time). This is truly disgusting and we have lost all trust in this location. Will not be returning. read more

@silver_diner Silver diner has absolutely made it on our go-to date list! They have a great menu with traditional American breakfast items, happy hour, under 600 calories menu & more all in such a cute, retro aesthetic that we don't often see anymore. Rosé: Who doesn't love a glass of wine with dinner? Cookies & cream milkshake: SO good, we don't often get to indulge on milkshakes so this was truly a treat. Steak frites: Perfectly prepared with notes of basil and pile of spinach paired with hot fries. Steak and eggs: Zack loved this, his usual go-to order as well. Lemon chicken picatta: A tasty dish on the under 600 calories menu, it was perfect! I had leftovers for lunch the next day. Protein pancakes w/blueberries: A classic that can do no wrong with a little extra protein for the gym peeps! Overall, we had excellent service, and 1000% will be back. Big plus is locally sourced items for their menu, which we love, so that was a huge plus for us. -IG @SpicyAivy read more

My meal was amazing. Nice and warm and the waffle was cooked perfectly. The bacon was just right as well as the scrambled eggs with cheese. Keny was an excellent waitress, who was very attentive to our needs. After church the crowd was minimal which gave us a great experience and delicious meal. read more

Late-night fix that never lets you down! Grab the French toast and dig in. It is easy on the stomach, and it probably soaks up the alcohol. LOL, I've only really indulged in the French toast, so three stars it is. I'll call them my old reliable. read more

We had family in town and wanted to meet at this convenient Silver Diner location, where we always have a great experience. Today our server Shila B was especially wonderful and attentive. She was so kind to take a photo for us and made sure we had what we needed to enjoy our meal. I appreciate the management and entire staff at this location! read more

While not a huge fan of the Silver Diner, we've been here a few times over the years, especially for breakfast/brunch. They have done a nice job with outdoor seating areas in both the front and rear of the place. the food, always solid, offers a wide variety of options. I particularly like that they have turkey based options on several of their breakfast proteins (e.g. Turkey Bacon, Turkey Sausage). A hit for us this trip was the Double Stack Breakfast burger, that sports two patties, bacon, ham AND an egg. Comes with a side of fries, so this breakfast is FILLING. They might need to add a few more staff, as it seemed our server was getting more than his fair share of steps in, with the back and forth to the kitchen to the outdoors. This also contributed to the food not being served particularly hot, but it was understandable given how busy, and how much running the servers were doing. read more

I called to place an order for pick up. It was a difficult experience. She couldn't hear me but thankfully repeated it for accuracy. What annoyed me was when she placed me on hold to have a a casual conversation with her coworker where they were laughing and joking. Sorry hun, putting the phone down doesn't mute me. We got through the order and I arrived for pick up. I called to confirm my location and they guy says you have to come inside to pick it up. Sir, I know it's raining but you will deliver my food as this is curbside. He finally agrees and brings my order outside. I ask do you take cash or credit. He said exact cash otherwise he has to go back in an open the register. sir!!!!! You will be going back inside regardless because you forgot my milkshake! He reluctantly goes and returns with my change and milkshake. I drive off only to discover there are no utensils or condiments for my food!! . Okay Silver Diner, we are officially done!!! I'm not sure who is running this establishment but I won't return!!! read more

The food is always amazing consistently fresh, flavorful and satisfying and beautifully prepared.Every visit is a truly enjoyable experience,and the quality never disappoints read more

This is just one of those classic spots that remind you of your grandparents and parents along with all the good memories. Except they have great food and unparalleled milkshakes! Each table has its own tiny jukebox that you can pick music to add onto the Que. You can also adjust the volume for your table which is sweet! When it comes to food the steaks are fresh the salads are crunchy and the breakfast are always made to order. When you order a milkshake know that they don't waste any of here! You get the tin cup with any extra they mixed... and there's always extra read more

WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING??!?! I have passed by so many Silver Diner's the last four years and I am saddened that no one encouraged me sooner to eat here. Finally I took the plunge and went with my boyfriend for a saturday brunch. Everything from the moment we entered to the time we left was amazing. The staff was amazing and on point! We were out of there in no time. Everyone was so helpful and nice. The food was also amazing. I like he concept of Silver Diner of them using seasonal and local ingredients from local farms. It makes it more than just a diner. I already knew what I wanted and did the build my own burger which was amazing- arugula and the bread make it a standout. Also had the protein pancakes and bison huevos rancheros. AMAZING. WILL BE BACK FOR SHAKES & DESSERT. read more

We stopped by this Silver Diner for breakfast. They had an outdoor dining area out back. Good service. Dog friendly. Our food came relatively quickly. The patio is in the parking lot but with alright atmosphere. Fish tacos are good, and the American breakfast (two eggs any style) is standard like other Silver Diners. read more

This place really amazes me. I should say these places since there are many of them though they are incredibly consistent. The atmosphere suggests traditional diner food that may clog your arteries after the main meal. Instead the menu is incredibly thoughtful with so many options that are delicious and healthy. They do a great job sourcing ingredients from local sources. This trip it was a crab eggs Benedict with green tea and the Chesapeake Bloody Mary- spicy style. The food was colorful, fresh and delicious. I will add that the service at these restaurants is as good as any fine dining. Attentive and friendly. Great place to go regularly. read more

Keny was a wonderful server. Very attentive. Food great too. Can't wait to come back.

I often eat here when I have a medical appointment at INOVA. I buy gift certificates for one of my docs who loves Silver Diner. Today I ordered the crab cake sandwich which too salty. The waitress (T Sirgut) was very accommodating until she collected my credit card saying if I didn't have the money, "you will have to mop the floor". As a psychologist I find this to be very inappropriate given our lack of familiarity. Please address this with her. read more

Keny was great she was very sweet and attentive and made sure we had a good dinner. There were a lot of options on the menu to pick from. We had the burratta Bruschetta which was so good and the lobster pasta. The steak was also really good. read more

Everyone always has a great time at SilverDiner, especially when you decide to reminisce to some Back To the Future vibes, but their menu is extremely delish on all fronts. Changing their aspect what they were (still phenomenal) to farm ti table was a really boss boss move. So commendation on that. Had the summertime Cod, which was truly amazing in every sense of the word, so having our service up to absolute par and some, had us blown away. Had the chance to get acquainted to the manager there, I believe he's a new gentleman, and he's no where near how and what the old manager is and used to be (Youn I believe) and let me tell you, he's absolutely no bueno, but this is about how great the food was and the new gentleman (Geo) not that I was shocked, but he's very authentic close and genuine, which is like a breath of fresh air, so kudos to Silver Diner on acquiring the new talent. read more

When I go to a diner, I expect to be disappointed. The food is typically highly mediocre and lacking originality. However, Silver Diner is not your standard diner. To start, their menu options are varied and truly have something for everyone. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had not one but a multitude of vegetarian and vegan options. They had substitutions available to make things gluten free and advertised certain meals as healthier. We ordered delivery from here, due to COVID, and everything was well packaged and presented. The Warm Roasted Local Veggie Salad was fantastic, though I would have preferred fresh fruit over the dried apricots. But all the flavors were great and I was happy to have a salad option that actually contained a lot of veggies, versus just being a regular unhealthy meal simply put on lettuce. It was a little light so next time I would probably add a protein to it. I also had the Oaxaca Omelette on a separate occasion and really enjoyed it. The fruit was also good, but the toast would have been nice with a side of jelly (which I could not request after the food was already delivered). The Baby Spinach, Feta, & Cremini Mushroom Omelette is fantastic as well, and likely the better of the two. The feta made is much more indulgent. Plus it comes with an entire bagel - you will not leave hungry after eating this. I would definitely come back here if just looking for food in the area. There is something for everyone and their food actually tastes good. For a diner, this restaurant is pretty awesome. read more

Wow,what a surprise find. From the looks of the diner I expected the kind of place that offers up greasy burgers, tasty shakes and servers that are dressed like over the top Happy Days characters and are purposely "rude". I was only partially correct. Burgers and shakes? Yes! But no rude staff and adversely, some of the nicest staff I have ever seen. 50s style interior complete with tabletop juke boxes for .25. And the servers DO wear a very simple version of old timey looking garb (black pants and white shirts) but nothing over the top. What really impressed was the diverse menu They offer all the classics but an astonishing selection of modern and healthy meals. I had an appetizer of crispy brussel sprouts (served with apricots and cranberry which was a first) with cinnamon chipotle dipping sauce that was delish. For my main I order from the healthy side and asked the server for a recommendation between the cod and salmon. Cod it was and it was a winner. Tender flaky and juicy and served with asparagus and ancient grains. All winning. So glad I was staying next door and decided to walk over for convenience. I will be back and I recommend you stop in as well. read more

I have learned to ask to sit in Angie's section. Strawberry is also a good bet, but Angie totally gets me. When I tell her the Coke is off, she hunts down someone to fix it-- no shrugging and oh so sorry (when I bother to eat out I pick places based on my Coca-cola addiction! )(I want what I want. And I want it to be drinkable). I'm always very happy with Angie's service-- quick, no BS, super friendly and normal, and she hands me what I need/want before I can even ask. The restaurant looked cleaner... including the bathrooms! Food is always predictable, which is great for a diner. read more

5/15/20 this place is a former shell of itself. Two manager working hard putting together orders while two cooks prepare the food. The dining area is closed to the public as are the bathrooms. Every other seating is taken apart so there is a large spacing between people should the place reopen in the future. The managers I met were stressed it seems and were not the friendliest of people I have met. Still, the only thing I did not like is not having my question answered about an item on the menu. I was ignored when it came to my question. If I had not been with my wife, I would have left the store and not gotten anything. I look forward to when business is back to normal, because right now, it sucks. Social Distancing, The Coronavirus and Fear have no business in this business of the food industry or anywhere else...well maybe in Hollywood Movies, but that's about it. read more

Silver Diner - 5/9/20 welcome to the new look of Silver Dinner. - Diners Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I ordered a turkey burger thinking that it was hand formed, however what I received was a mechanically manufactured turkey patty which was tasteless and dry and did not fit my idea of a "burger." I ordered it with American Cheese but received cheddar. When I placed my order I requested mayo but it was not received with the order and I had to search out a waitstaff member to bring me the mayo. I won't order a turkey burger again. This experience leaves a bad taste in my mouth about returning to Silver Diner. read more

How is this my first time here? I've always been an ihop person so walking in here was like Bad and Bougee music vid dos. I was head pounding, need to vomit hungover and really just wanted soup. But my friends took me here so I could try their vegan egg dishes. Wow was I in for a ride. I ordered the vegan JUST eggs bennies and replaced the fruits side with chicken noodle soup. First off the service is impeccable. The server was very apologetic for coming over two minutes late and repeatedly came back to refill coffee. After I scarfed down the chicken mini shell noodle soup, I gave the vegan eggs a try. It was so dope. Like it almost tasted exactly like eggs but it also didn't. Nonetheless it was super delicious. read more

Both food and service are terrible. Kids waiting tables don't show up and are busy talking to friends. Most of the menu is just plain weird. Ordered a BLT - was missing tomato. How the heck can somebody screw that up. Came with cold fries and some weird slaw that had corn in it. Dumped the fries and slaw in the garbage. read more

Nice place. I got the Philly sandwich with roasted peppers. It was very tasty. Food delivery was fast. For a table of 9 we waited about 20 mins. Looks like a classic diner. My husband got the lumber jack meal- good portion sizes but pancakes are on the small. Waitress was nice and helpful. read more

This is a solid place to go to for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am a huge fan of diners everywhere I go. I like to lounge just for coffee and talking with a friend or play a game of cards late at night. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day every day. YAY!! They also offer Brunch with mimosas and Bloody Mary' drinks. The service is friendly and fast here. The food is excellent but a bit pricey. I normally don't like the shredded hash browns or home fries that some other diners offer but their home fries are fried which make it crispy on the outside but slightly soft on the inside. I have eaten at various locations of the Silver Diner throughout Virginia and Maryland for the past 20 years, and I can honestly say that the menu has changed for the better with healthier, tastier, and more interesting options. I'm glad they kept the large pies because it keeps the "mom & pop" feel of the diner. As a foodie, I notice things such as how well they consistently chopped the veggies for my Western omelette so that it's cooked evenly. The biscuits are by far the some of the best because they're not too dry. Their salmon entrees were on point delicious. The fish tacos were very good with nice toppings. They also offer gift cards and a rewards program through their mobile app. The vintage jukeboxes are still there at each table but currently don't work because they're being serviced. Their To-Go items are packed perfectly. They also offer delivery via apps such as Uber Eats and Door Dash. The service, menu, and convenience will have me returning to eat here again. read more

Silver Diner - Bf and me at silver diner - Diners Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

My friend and I go here every Sunday. Lately we have had a new server every time (like clearly a new employee), so I suspect they're also struggling, like many restaurants, with staffing. But we have still always had pleasant experiences. The manager always greets and says bye, which is a nice, friendly touch. The food is really tasty, and I appreciate the vegan and vegetarian options, which is why my friend and I started coming here instead of IHOP for our Sunday morning breakfast. They had a bruschetta egg special going for awhile, which was AMAZING. Tomatoes, balsamic, goat cheese, eggs, toast. I craved it. It's gone now, but I think because it was a seasonal item for summer tomato season. read more

shyam is an exceptional waiter at Silver Diner! He made our dining experience enjoyable with his friendly attitude and great service. He was attentive and always checked in on us without being overbearing. Highly recommend him if you're ever at Silver Diner! read more

As I glanced out the window of the Silver Diner, I wondered how many patrons had graced this location with their families looking to consume an authentic diner cuisine. I was nearing the end of my D.C. vacation and was informed by my sister, a trusted long time Silver Diner patron, that the food here was amazing. We chatted it up with friends and ordered two Bison Huevos Ranchero entrees, buttermilk pancakes and an amazing order of Banana Stuffed Caramel and Chocolate Chip French toast. The waitress was busy serving other customers but was attentive to our needs. The manager stopped in to check on us and we promptly informed him that our meal seemed to be quite delayed. Luckily, within minutes of speaking with him, our meals were served. I dove into my French toast and thoroughly enjoyed the gooey caramel and sweet chocolate chips. I know it's not the healthiest choice, but the breakfast hit the spot. The two toasts were fluffy and soft and had just the right amount of sweetness (no syrup needed)... While sampling the twin's pancakes, I took in the scene of the diner. The décor boasted a display case of tasty treats on entry and actual mini jukeboxes on the tables. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the old school music softly playing. I also noted that it was not a far walk from the Mosaic District Shopping Center. I'd definitely return and try an entrée off of the "Healthier Flexitarian Options" as I've recently changed my eating habits. It's hard to balance the sweet and savory options of menus while trying to maintain a healthy diet. The Power Breakfast of egg whites and whole wheat toast will be consumed on the next visit. Definitely a recommendation to consider and I heard if you download their app there are rewards available for your patronage. Ms. Foodie. read more

The restaurant was clean and kind of empty for 730am. the waitress "Strawberry" got us coffee and ordered our food..Banana Pancakes and ham steaks were great, The waitress not so much, we received our food and when we asked for ancillary items like extra syrup or butter, we were met with heavy "sigh" and attitude... throughout the whole meal, we never saw "Strawberry" again. No asking if everything was okay, didn't ask about coffee, nothing. so when we ask for the bill, she used this handheld ordering machine, and put in front of us, but then didn't tell us how much the bill was, just placed it there, and when we asked how much it was, "Strawberry" snorted and sighed and told us the amount,. The Handheld device you could give the tip and a "green thumbs up" and a "red thumb's down" and of course she got the red thumbs down and no tip. Now we would have just left this alone, However,......we went to the Front-End Manager and told him on the way out, and he seem to have the same attitude and the waitress, he snorted and shrugged his shoulders and said "OK" and that was it. That really sucked because i liked Silver Diner. Side note: her name tag actually said "Strawberry" So this experience was horrible. I had better service at a Basic Training Chow Hall, then i got here, and that is saying a lot, because in basic Training , you don't sit down to enjoy your food . Being a Vet, that is a sad state when the "so called leaderships" attitude and personality matches the waitress or is the waitress matching the leadership . Should have went to Denny's at least i would have got one more cup of coffee read more

I was hoping for better. Overall the food was good, I stopped in for lunch with my dad on the way home from an appointment. My dad got the western omelette apparently that's his go to at the Silver Diner, I opted for one of their lunch specials which was tasty and hit the spot for me. The service left much to be desired. Now mind you my dad worked in the food service industry throughout most of his career and I've worked at several places where he had worked so we both are generally empathetic to those who work in the restaurant field. We will typically cut these hard working folks a lot of slack. Don't get me wrong the host staff, and our server were both very nice but it took forever to get our food, and yet we were seated near the counter and I couldn't help but notice a lot of people just standing there. Not to mention our server didn't come by to say sorry the kitchen is backed up and he only came by once to refill our drinks while we waited. But we waited since I think we were both hungry and we were already committed at point but I just can't bring my review beyond 2 stars. It was just a lackluster experience. read more

The food is fine, service is good but the value proposition is off - they are overpriced for diner food. $20 Greek salad w/chicken. Sure, its the going rate at real restaurants but this is a diner. Most importantly, the cleaning standards at this particular SD are well below acceptable. The millwork is fuzzy with grime and dirt and the ivory knobs on the juke boxes are covered in grease and dirt. You know when you can see dirt like that there is 5x more dirt you cannot see. Yuck. Bob Giaimo would never have tolerated mess like this at the American Cafe or any of his restaurants when he was actively involved... read more
