We wanted to eat locally and wanted someplace that we know uses good quality ingredients. that's why we came to Silver diner, we know their quality is outstanding We were lucky enough tonight to have Cindy as our waitress. She was outstanding, checking back on us, without being overbearing. We were chilled from the outside, and she actually suggested would we just like a mug of hot water to keep our hands warm, how nice was that! We shared the meatloaf dinner, which was really very good with freshly steamed vegetables, delicious mashed potatoes, and onion rings on the meatloaf. if you have room for dessert, I highly recommend the carrot cake cake with cream cheese frosting, it was just delicious read more

Service was great. I came with my friend and we loved the food. We got the Hawaiian Luau and Chicken Tenders. We loved the inside, the seats inside are beautiful and comfortable. read more

The Silver Diner in the Merrifield neighborhood, just off Gallows Road, was a nice backdrop for an early morning breakfast with friends on Sunday before hitting the road to a few vineyard tastings. The food was really well cooked. We were seated rather quickly despite what looked to be a full house. And our service, by none other than Suman, was superb. This gentlemen was great! Super friendly, very informative, helped answer any questions, checked in regularly, was just all around perfect. All in all our experience was exceptional! We'll be back. read more

This diner is a bit upscale for a diner and so much fun! It's a little retro but the menu isn't--with its very updated vegan and vegetarian options including its health shake and oat milk shakes that taste just like the real deal--yes! So i walked in with the hubs and two other guys that I had just met that day but were such a hoot and we sat down and I read the menu. I ordered the watermelon cucumber mint lemonade and the shrimp and pesto white beans--so yummy! And for dessert I ordered the plant based black and white shake. The hubs ordered crab soup and chicken pot pie. I tasted his and it was very yummy too! The two guys got apps, fried Brussels sprouts that were amazing and fried catfish. Then one got a pastrami rubin and the other a burger. Both looked amazing! For dessert hubs and one of the guys got the world's smallest sundae! So cute! We will be back again--great place and wonderful wait staff!!! Thank you! read more

Well, I have had some issues with the service here. Missing utensils, weird salad, asked for hot sauce and I received ketchup. To be honest, the only items I like from here are the blue cheese dressing for the wings and the turkey bacon. Plus, they overcharge for sides. I forgot, I really like the garlic spinach, but they don't give you much for the price. I'm still trying to figure out why I didn't receive hot sauce even though I clearly asked the woman in the blue blazer if they had hot sauce, she checked and said yes. However, I received ketchup! I guess I have to do Chris Tucker from the movie Rush Hour and yell "DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH?" read more

Went to Silver Diner, Merrifield for Father's Day meal - wanting to be healthy, I had the under 600 calorie salmon - it was excellent. To counter the 600 calorie salmon, my wife and I shared the triple layer chocolate cake, it was outstanding. Server Peter told Allison, one of the chefs, that this was for a Father's day celebration, she decorated the plate - see photo. A great meal became priceless - it doesn't get much better. read more

Very disappointed in my breakfast. Ordered (for pick up) when I got home, my lumberjack breakfast was a major disappointment. My bacon was under cooked. Had to finish cooking myself. The over easy eggs were over hard. The pancakes were fine but I thought they came with maple syrup? Silver diner is fine if you go there and eat. Take out option needs more quality control. I would have taken it back but I used my maple syrup, finished cooking my bacon, and threw out the hockey pucks... which were supposed to be eggs over easy. I cooked my own eggs. Next time I'm dropping $20 for breakfast, I will rethink ordering from silver diner.... read more

I am not a fan of diners, but my husband finds them a mainstay in his culinary repertoire. He convinced me to dine out with him during our stay at the hotel next door. Well, I was enchanted with the retro decor - especially the jukebox that featured some wonderful oldies. The service was excellent, and we had the added delight of bantering with our waiter, Peter. Perhaps, although he was a yougin,' he appreciated our sense of humor and the comedies we enjoyed before the dawn of the 21st century. The hot chocolate was top-rated and for a Goldilocks the temperature was perfect, neither too hot nor too cold. My husband enjoyed his homemade chicken soup and the fresh cod dinner. But his favorite was the "World's Smallest Sundae." I guess no matter how old you are, dessert is always the most exciting part of the meal. This place was a "Blast from the Past," where everyone was polite and respectful, and truly seemed to care about our likes and dislikes. Maybe because we are old, this felt like comfort food and because of that we just had the best time. read more

Eggs and banana pancakes for breakfast. On a week day! Who is living better than me? The eggs were cooked exactly as ordered and the pancakes were perfectly yummy. Not a fan of the turkey bacon which was greasier than I expected. Service was not exactly speedy, but it's morning. BANANA PANCAKES! read more

Silver Diner - Front of the Silver Diner in Merrifield - Diners Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

1. Ambiance: See the previous review. Nothing has changed. 2. Food: I had ordered the shrimp quinoa salad and a side order of fries. The shrimp was perfectly grilled and the quinoa salad was refreshing with a wonderful sauce to top it off. The fries were thin and crispy. I really enjoyed the meal. 3. Service: Carly assisted our table and she did a great job. She shared stories with us and gave off a wonderful vibe of helping others. She was attentive to our table and provided great customer service. 4. Costs: The salad costs approximately $15.00. I thought the salad was quite pricey for the portion; however, when shrimps are involved, the price will increase. I believe the price could still be a little lower given the portions of the food. 5. Overall Experience: I had a great time at this restaurant. Carly was fantastic and the food was amazing. I definitely will return next time to try other items. Side Notes: n/a read more

Breakfast all day! Not your average diner. Silver diner has redone their menu with more healthy options. The avocado toast burrata with over easy eggs was amazing. I love it when the meal arrives looking just like the photographs. Don't worry you can still get the American style breakfast to include pancakes with REAL maple syrup . This diner is open 24 hours and as they advertise if the line is to the door it's still just a ten minute wait. Kudos to the hiring manager for the most pleasant staff every time I go (which is often). You may be hangry when you enter but you'll leave full, satisfied, and happy (you know --fat n' happy). read more

A regular at the Merrifield Silver Diner across Mosaic. Got the Kickin' Rib Burger which was messy but tasty. Somehow I managed room for the Brownie dessert which comes with a scoop of vanilla and chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, drizzle of caramel sauce--pure comfort dessert. Peter our server was very attentive, pleasant, and patient. read more

The Silver Diner has everything you could ever want in a super cool 50's type setting. You can have breakfast when ever you want and their burgers are so great. We love their pancakes and salads. The place is often packed so you may need to wait a bit, but it is worth it. The service is really good and fast. Their prices are reasonable. You will love it. We stop here every time we are in Virginia or DC. Enjoy. read more

Silver Diner - Chocolate milkshake - Diners Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Sad to say, nothing good here... service was not good, very slow and had to ask for coffee refill. We ( me and hubby) ordered the oat milk protein pancakes, we've had them several times at different locations, we love them. Our order took a long time even though it wasn't very busy ( a Wednesday middle of the day). Unfortunately our pancakes we totally raw, runny uncooked inside. They looked great on the outside. We sent them back and water an additional 10 min or more for another order which was just slightly more done. We ate around the middle and let the waiter know it was just slightly better. He apologized several times. We won't be back to this location. read more

Silver diner is a classic breakfast diner. I enjoy their jukeboxes and how you can select what songs to play throughout the store. You can modify the volume too at your table. Love the song? Turn it up. Hate it? Turn it down. I think its a fun place to take the kids you have any. My friend and I met up for an early dinner and both ended up ordering breakfast entrees. We ordered the low fat vegetarian omelette and the bison huevos rancheros. The omelette was stuffed with mushrooms, zucchini and tomatoes and paired with a side of fruit. Im sure if I didn't omit the cheese it would've been better. My friend seemed to love her bison dish. It looked very appealing with a large portion of guacamole on top and sides of large tortilla chips. The restaurant is spacious and if you come early enough you wont have a problem getting a table/booth. read more

Came in here for a quick lunch with some co-workers. They thought my friends were already seated but it turns out it's someone else. We got it all figured out since my friends said they were still parking. Our swrver was really prompt- her name's Angie. She got our drinks out my friend ordered a regular iced tea while mine was supposed to be peach tea. It was mixed up but not a big deal. I can see how that would be easily mixed up. I ordered the bison huevos rancheros, my friends had the french toast breakfast platter and the Greek hummus salad plate. They were all very tasty and came within minutes of each other. We will certainly be back! read more

I love this place like crazy, but sometimes the service is touch and RUN. The menu is seasonal, local and has healthy option (plus something for my fat genes), my choice though. Lol But if you dislike your spouse, do not get any form of take home/out on a weekday night. Boil tofu instead. You may save your relationship. 3 times we tried to skip cooking after getting off the Metro and called in for an order. No words, calling the manager on duty is a waste of time, writing on the comment note cards is just being mean to trees. I still eat here, just inside only, no take out, delivery or pick up orders. We never recieved a combined $50 of 3 orders in over 2 months. Just totally missing food. The guy told us finally, don't call in orders after 11, certain ppl who deserve the tip won't receive it. So they kinda stop caring. I still luv the liver and onions, I'm anemic like that. read more

Stop in for Sunday brunch around 1pm. We were seated in about 10 minutes. Our waiter Ravi was very nice and attentive. I ordered a grilled cheese with cheese/bacon on the fries and my boyfriend ordered the lumberjack meal. The food came out pretty fast and it was delicious as always. I've been coming here for over a decade and I love the atmosphere. Everything has always been amazing especially the milkshakes! read more

First visit in about two years and good to be back. Service was friendly and professional. Food was good and I appreciated the manager checking on things. I like the check in feature of the app. Would like to be able to pay via Apple Pay from the table or the app. read more

I had an ok experience at this diner...Dasha sat our family, but she seemed annoyed when I requested that we sit at the corner booth since I felt it would be easier to have the other customers less distracted with our "active" toddler. We did have a WONderful server, Roza, who was very attentive. I ordered the Goat Cheese Spinach Turkey Sandwich - because I love goat cheese, and turkey was a healthier option...And I really enjoyed it! Everyone else enjoyed their breakfasts, and the 1950's feel of this diner. I definitely will come back, hoping there's a little less of a "tude" from the young hostess. Nice place to wind down and enjoy your coffee or lunch. read more

Diego was amazing. He made great recommendations and was fast and attentive. the food was fantastic. I got the cod and it was so fresh.

I wanted to try true American food at true American diner and chose this place. I have tried BBQ burger. It looks great, but it is so tasteless! I asked for medium, but it was VERY well done. Patty was over cooked and it wasn't juicy, onions were uncooked and looked like worms. Creamy mushrooms were only mushrooms, without any cream sauce. But bacon was amazing and bun was good too. My husband have tried meatloaf. It was a little bit better than my burger, but nothing interesting and special. Milkshakes were very ordinary. The only thing that I like there - our waitress, very nice girl. So if in future I would like to eat a burger I would try to find another place. read more

This must be one of the more poorly managed silver diners. The workers seem unmotivated, like they're just going through the motions The server does not listen carefully and gets the order wrong, delaying customer and wasting food. so when you order, confirm it by having the server repeat it back to you. The food itself is invariably good read more

Celebrated a friend's birthday here last night. The menu has changed so much since I came here last time (over 10 year ago...) I still enjoy the good old milk shake as much as I did years ago. I'm glad they have upped their game to keep up with the competition and demand. The menu is a lot bigger with a lot more options. I got the flat iron steak, medium well due to being pregnant. It was a bit dry and I was not a big fan of the blue cheese. Other than that, we enjoyed everything else. Our party of 8 got a variety of dishes and everyone seemed to enjoy their food and the excellent service we received! read more

Great tasting food, lots of healthy choices and very affordable prices. Service is good.

I came here for an early Sunday breakfast. Based on my perusing of previous yelp reviews, I ordered the bison huevo rancheros. The presentation was very nice and the heuvo rancheros was delicious (on the spicy side though!). My dining mates ordered salads; I tried a bite of my bf's cobb salad and it tasted fresh and I loved the dressing. I don't drink coffee, but the coffee received good reviews from the others. read more

Yes! I'm a FAN of the Merrifield location Silver Diner which is conveniently located next to the Mosaic District Shopping Center! Yes! I'm a FAN of the excellently prepared food which is always HOT, FRESH, and DELICIOUS! Yes! I'm a FAN of the amazing atmosphere which allows you to dine on great foods and sing along to Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, or your favorite Mo-town Hits! Yes! I'm a FAN of the EXCELLENT customer service and on this wonderful occasion we were taken care of by James who got our order 100% correct and he even knew when to check on "low coffee cup levels" -- it just doesn't get better than that! I would highly recommend joining the "Silver Diner Rewards Program". I check in on my phone using the Silver Diner APP each time we visit. After your fifth visit you will receive $5 off of your bill. It's not enough to retire off of but "Coupon Moms" like me still get giddy off of savings such as this! If you've never been to the Silver Diner I highly recommend the "Buttermilk Pancakes with scrambled eggs and you get to select which meat you want (i.e. bacon, sausage, etc.). Enjoy! read more

It is one of my most favorite breakfast places. I love how diverse their menu is. If you want something unhealthy, they have it. If you want something healthy & love calorie they have it. My most favorite item from there is Bison Huevos Rancheros, it is a must try!! Also their milkshakes are amazing. Overall, I recommend going there. Cons: It can be pretty dirty at times (check your silverware). Always increases their prices. ($7.99 for a milkshake from a diner?) read more

The management and servers at this Silver diner are exceptional. Bison Huevos Rancheros is the bomb. Will be back.

My California omelette was very good. Highly recommend it. Comes with a delicious fresh fruit cup and whole wheat toast. The grits, however, needed Jesus. We added cheese, butter, salt, pepper, salt, bacon, salt, and hollandaise sauce and they still were pretty gross. The lumberjack breakfast was delicious! Loved the home fries and over easy eggs and bacon. The ham was salty. The sesame bagel was bomb. Service was good even after we voiced more than a couple of concerns about dirty glasses, separated hollandaise sauce and she took the grits off our check without us asking. read more

There service has gone down tremendously. The last time I ordered, it was an online order. I called to verify the order for fish and a hamburger. I instead received chicken and not fish and a live bug in my salad. I called and they said they couldn't refund it and had to contact IT to refund the money by Thursday. It's Saturday and I still haven't received a refund. The person, who said he was a manager, wasn't very clear over the phone. Was yelling to the cook in the phone to verify what was made without putting me on hold. Their customer service has really gone down. I'm not eating there again. This whole ordeal has been a complete head ache. read more

Excellent food, great service, top-notch staff. My best friend and I meet there every month or so for a long gabfest, and we keep coming back because the food is just that good, with a relaxed atmosphere, and really nice folks working there. We especially love their Cobb salad, avocado toast, and their to-die-for Key Lime Pie Cheesecake. And if we could just get there more often, we'd start sampling more of their food offerings -- but we're hooked on our favorites! read more

The location itself is beautiful. Everything looks amazing and classic diner-esque. However, the service was pretty horrible. We came around 8 pm on a Sunday and the place was fairly empty. First the greeter didn't know if the patio was open, even though there were people out there. He made us wait to track down a manager to ask. Then it took 15 mins or so for a waiter to take our drink order. Then more time to come back with them and get our food order. And honestly the food wasn't great for the $97 it cost for our family of 5. read more
