    Lemony Chickpea Hummus & Califlower Pita

    The food and wine selections were good my friends ordered New! Tuna Poke Bowl which looked delicious, Southwest Turkey with fries, Veg New! Beyond Meat Ciabatta Smash Burger in lettuce wrap with side salad, and Lemony Chickpea Hummus & Cauliflower Pita. All looked good and everyone loved it. But the pita did not taste like cauliflower at all, just bread. The place was packed but 3 different staff came out to explain that they had changed vendors for the pita and it is vegan, gluten free and cauliflower. It's a nice diner with quick and clean service.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We had a delicious breakfast at Silver Diner. This restaurant is what we describe as an old school all American diner! Menu has all the items we love that brings us into a "vacation mode" feeling. There is abundant parking. Abundant seating indoor and outdoor as well. Food portions are generous. Taste was to our liking. Not too buttery, not too raw. California Omelette was very good. Country griddle had a lot of flavor in it. Service was on point. Our waitress was there when we needed something. Check this restaurant out if you are in this general area. You will not be disappointed.

    Roach Crawling in Booth

    Roach infested! On an evening after work and with my family. The server was decent, but after dirty glasses and swapped glasses. My fiancé asked me to scoot over as he saw something behind me and long behold it was a roach. Please see the picture below! Please drop a bug bomb in that place!

Highly recommend as my husband loved his prime rib (he said it was excellent) and I had a gluten free chicken sandwich that was yum! the ambiance was lovely, and an all around great experience for a quick bite as the location is very close to INOVA. Enrique made our night and truly appreciate his gracious service

I got salmon, which was good just make sure you like a smoky taste as it has one. My husband got ribs and he said they were good too. The waitress was on point and kept checking on us refilling our drinks. It wasn't over crowded for 4th of July and I do think it is decorated beautifully. Now, couple things that are weird. I asked for to go cup for my full glass of lemonade so it wasn't wasted and we were informed they have no to go cups. However, they do to go orders, but no drinks... that's weird. 2nd, they advertise that you can get 4 of their house made beers to take home, here is the catch you can't mix match them to get different ones. We wanted to get 4 different ones to bring back to NC for a friend and could only get 4 of the same kind. Which we did, but no where does it say you can't mix match them. We were told their POS systems isn't set up to be able to do this. I do love their food, but come on get to go cups.

    5-STAR HAPPY HOUR(s)…read more If the sitcom Cheers were to relocate to Falls Church, this might be the venue. The place is warm, with tons of TVs (in doors and out), happy people and solid food special during happy hour specials. Giddy'up! The spot may not garner a 5-star recommendation every time, but this evening -- for Happy Hour -- BAM, it hit on all the right notes. HAPPY HOUR HITS: Draft beers ($3 pints starting at 3pm) & small bites menu ($2 off). The Cobb Lettuce Wrap (blue cheese yummy!) are a must have (4 per order) and the nachos (BBQ chicken) were a surprisingly solid table pleaser.

Drinks from the bar took quite a while to arrive, and there was also a long wait for our food to come out of the kitchen. I ordered the chicken fajitas, and they were definitely the highlight of my meal--hot, sizzling, nicely grilled, and very flavorful. Others in our group also enjoyed the generous portions of wings, fresh salads, and the jambalaya, so the food overall was very good. The restaurant has a fun, energetic vibe, but it was so loud that it was difficult to carry on a conversation at our table. One other downside was parking. The lot is fairly small and shared with three different restaurants, so finding a spot was frustrating. I'd come back because the food was good and the staff was genuinely friendly, but I'd hope for faster service and a better parking experience next time.

We started with the scallops and then had the gnocchi and pesto pasta. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you could really tell that it was house-made.

As soon as we entered, General Manager Sam welcomed us like old friends. After we were seated, my wife asked if he had previously worked at The Dabney, and sure enough, that's where we recognized him from. It was great catching up as he shared what he'd been doing since then and how his dream had always been to open his own restaurant. Seeing that dream come to life made the evening feel even more special. The restaurant was busy (definitely make reservations), but we were able to enjoy cocktails while we waited for our table. My Grey Goose martini with bleu cheese olives was phenomenal and set the tone for the rest of the meal. We started with the Bison Tartare and the Ceviche. The bison tartare was leaner than traditional beef tartare, and the crispy chips added the perfect savory crunch. The ceviche was incredibly fresh and bright. For our entrées, I had the ribeye while my wife ordered the Dory. The ribeye was cooked perfectly--juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. My wife couldn't stop talking about how buttery and delicious the fish was. To finish the evening, we ordered the 100-Year Port Flight featuring 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-year ports. Vertical tastings are such a fun way to experience how a wine evolves over time. The 40-year was absolutely outstanding, and the 20-year was another favorite. The 10-year was enjoyable but still showed its youthful character compared to the older vintages. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between upscale and relaxed. The main dining room can feel a little tight when the restaurant is full, while the bar area has a few TVs for anyone wanting to catch a game. One thoughtful touch that stood out was the women's restroom being stocked with amenities like hair ties and hair clips. We noticed they also offer a tasting menu, and after this experience, that's already on our list for our next visit. Between the outstanding hospitality, exceptional food, excellent cocktails, and welcoming atmosphere, Evelyn Rose absolutely earned five stars.
