Daviña D.

We wanted breakfast but didn't feel like cooking so we decided to head to Silver Diner. Figured there would be a wait, since it was Sunday afternoon so we anticipated waiting for a table for about 30 minutes. It was packed in the lobby with no seats. We went in,added our name to the waitlist. The hostess took our phone number and said that she would send a text when our table was ready. We were fine with that and went back to the car to wait for the text message. Almost an hour goes by, and the crowd visibly dies down, so we go back inside to check on the wait times. The hostess said that someone had accidentally marked us as a "no show". She apologized and sat us immediately. I wish it would have ended there but when the food came out it was already cool (not hot). I mentioned it to our waitress and she apologized and got the manager. He offered to remake the food, but I am not a fan of sending food back to the kitchen so I declined. Plus we were starving and didn't want to wait extra time to eat. I reiterated that the taste of the food was fine, but I just wanted to make him aware of the temperature of the food. Instead he gave us 10% off of the bill and a $10 gift card for the next visit. I commend the staff for handling this very professionally. I'm pretty sure I'll still end up going back at some point because Silver Diner is local and one of those quick "go to" spots in Waldorf for all day breakfast, but just won't go on super busy days. I think three stars is a fair rating for this visit considering we never received a text and the temperature of the food. I'm looking forward to a different experience next time and giving five stars

Brunch with hubby after voting, Tues., 6/23/26. Today's wait was only about 15 minutes ... MUCH better than their weekend rush. Shout out to Tori for her EXCELLENT service. LOVE the coffee sooo much, we bought a bag for home! Super cute, artsy establishment. Presentation is always on point buttt the food was wayyy too salty. I feel so weird saying that because I'm typically disappointed in the lack of seasoning in restaurants. NOT HERE. Hubs agreed ... his eggs and my salmon frittata and potatoes were just not edible. Today, the standouts for hubs was the million dollar bacon; for me, the cheese grits and honey biscuits and, for both of us: the coffee. Worth the visit. Will return. Will just be more selective with my order.

Solid, modern eats with a nostalgic vibe! Always a fan of Silver Diner and this location does not disappoint. The vibe here is of a casual diner, with an expansive menu that changes often with the seasons and local eats. I came here after visiting a friend out in the Waldorf area and decided to grab take-out before heading back into DC. I will admit I almost did not stop here because it was near closing time and I hate order from place near closing. I got here near closing and the food was just as fresh as if it was opening time. We all know how it is getting somewhere to eat near closing time.... You tend to get subpar service and food. You subject to getting a scraps, bad orders, guilty eye rolls from your server, "ain't got this, "ain't got that," issues....lol. But, this was not the case at this Silver Diner. It was a great experience from beginning to end. Our bartender/server was Cameron C. and he did an amazing job serving us and making us feel welcomed. He's truly a people person. He kept the drinks on point while we waited for our food and made sure our orders were prepared exactly how we requested. During this visit, I tried the Short Rib Burger, Loaded Fries as a side & Buffalo Wings. Everything was delicious and fresh. And, the burger was the star!...A juicy 1/2lb burger pattie cooked to perfection....topped with bacon & tender braised short rib!! It was complete meat overload, super fresh and sooooo good! For anyone that is "meataholic" like myself...you gotta try this thing. My wings and the loaded fries complemented my dish well too. Not to mention, everything was packed well for the long haul and drive back to DC....of course, I couldn't resist and snuck in a few bites of the fries at each stop light heading back down Route 5. Let's just call it a #qualitycheck! lol ;-) In all, I enjoyed my visit. This location gets two thumbs up in my book. I'l definitely visit this SD again if I am ever in this neck of the woods hungry and in need. * Yelp Elite Tip & Honorable Mention: Sign up for their "Eat Well Do Well" Rewards Program.

This Silver Diner was great. The food was delicious, and didn't have to wait too long. Our waiter was so nice and always checked up on us. The whole vibe was nice and chill. Definitely recommend. Definitely will be back if we are in this area for sure.

I love Silver Diner and this location does not disappoint. From meal options for even the pickiest eater to high-stakes culinary celebrity sightings--this place has it all! I actually had the pleasure of meeting Executive Chef Ype Von Hengst during my visit. For an award-winning chef and Food Network winner, he was incredibly humble and courteous. He truly has a wonderful listening ear, which makes the "local flavor" of this diner feel even more personal. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is great--I even walked away with a coupon for a complimentary hand-spun shake for my next visit. Come for the menu, but stay for the local hospitality! #enjoygoodpeople

Renovated area with tables

Came on a Wednesday morning and they were quite busy which the staff didn't seem prepared for. The hostess when you first enter was pleasant, welcoming, and informative. Our server was very slow. She mentioned how busy the restaurant was and seemed overwhelmed which I don't think needs to be shared with the customer. The manager on duty was making rounds and helping out as best she could so the effort of some of the staff is very much appreciated. The food was great. The kid enjoyed her hotdog with strawberries. My mom had a smash burger with fries- ok, bun was dry. I had a ribeye steak sub add mushrooms with fries- delicious. The restaurant was clean and recently renovated by replacing some of the booths with tables and refreshed all the seating.

Wifey and I partake on MLK day brunch. The establishment was packed, however we were quickly seated and the service was good considering the volume of people. We opted for brunch and both dishes were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this Silver Diner if you are in the area.

Food is always perfect! This is going to be a heavy rotation breakfast spot for me and the Big Spoon. Service is always okay, not perfect but they are honestly always busy. We tend to bring good luck and people flock behind us, never fails. So we always start off good and then it's packed! Ambiance is casual. Waffle is fantastic! Silver Diner is always a WIN!

5/5 Everything…read moretasted SO good! The portions were generous, everything was very fresh, and it definitely filled me up. My expectations were met, and I was not disappointed at all! I highly recommend the crab egg rolls and the carrot cake--both were delicious! The fish sandwich was definitely messy, but honestly, I like my food like that sometimes . It was packed with flavor and worth every bite! I would definitely order again and highly recommend giving this place a try!

My friend and I stopped by Crab Boat primarily for happy hour, and overall, I'd say it was an…read moreaverage neighborhood seafood spot. Nothing really stood out, but nothing was terrible either. The restaurant has the typical crab house setup with brown paper covering the tables, and everything was spaced out nicely. We decided to sit at the bar, which is fairly small. I'd estimate there are only about eight bar stools. For drinks, I had two Moscow Mules, and my friend ordered two Lemon Drops. Both were good, especially for happy hour, and the prices were reasonable. The only food we ordered was the fried calamari, which came served in a small boat tray. The bartender also handed us plain white paper plates.... the same disposable plates you can buy at walmart. I'm definitely not someone who expects fine dining at a crab spot, but it felt a little lazy. Most seafood restaurants at least use branded paper trays or sturdier disposable plates that fit the experience. I completely understand that restaurants are dealing with rising costs, but this small detail took away from the overall presentation. Since we only ordered an appetizer, I can't fairly comment on the rest of the menu. However, I noticed several tables enjoying steamed crabs, while most of the people sitting at the bar had fried seafood platters with shrimp, fries, and hush puppies. Everyone seemed happy with their meals, so that's always a good sign. I did make a trip to the restroom, and while it was clean enough, the stall door was difficult to close and lock properly. I actually had to hold the door shut while using the restroom, which is something I hope they fix soon. We ended up staying for about two hours, and the atmosphere was relaxed and easygoing. Another plus is the large parking lot, which made parking convenient. Overall, Crab Boat was just okay. The happy hour prices were good, the drinks did the job, and the service was fine. I don't see myself going out of my way to return, but if I were in the area and wanted to grab a reasonably priced drink or it was one of the only available options, I wouldn't mind stopping in again.

My buddy and I recently grabbed breakfast at this First Watch and I realized I hadn't reviewed it…read moreyet. First Watch is a solid, ridiculously popular breakfast spot. Probably a 3.5 but I rounded up because their App is bomb and it gives you live updates on where you are in line. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you take advantage of the online wait list, TRUST me!! Farm to table food is always a plus, and that's what make First Watch such a hit. You can taste the freshness. The space they occupy used to be Bob Evans and I'm a fan of Bob Evans and was sad to see it go. First Watche's menu is just okay to me and I always get the same thing, the "Tri-Fecta". It's always good, especially the blueberry pancake, but I'd like to switch things up every now and then.. Oh well.. Lol! So if you're looking for a healthier choice than Cracker Barrel or some of the other popular breakfast restaurants, First Watch is probably the spot for you.. Just get in line online.. You're welcome!! :)

I thought the veggies and meat would be scrambled in the eggs. The cheese was just lumped in the middle of the omelet. My French toast was okay but luke warm. What ever happened to getting hot food. Our server was friendly, so that helped. I do plan to try their lunch food and see if that's okay. But not sure of the hype about this place, maybe you can get breakfast anytime of day.

It's been almost two decades since I've been to a Longhorn. The last time I did (in the Richmond,…read moreVA area), the waitress skimmed my card and decided to go clubbing that night. Their food had never been worth tolerating fraud. This is where my great grandmother wanted to dine as her Mother's Day outing, so we went. The food wasn't half bad. I enjoyed everything I ordered; everyone enjoyed their selections. Nothing remarkable - it's a typical sitdown chain, one notch above fast food, yet, I may keep them in consideration when I think about dining out. The food still isn't worth tolerating a fraudulent employee, but let's hope it never comes to that again.

Stopped by after a day of events in Waldorf. No reservations required, we were seated quickly but…read moreit did take a moment for a server to come to the table. Thanks Myles for making the best out of a bad situation. Myles was cordial and checked on us often. A patron must understand where delays occur and be mindful to handle it with grace. For starters, we had the smokehouse wings, chicken wraps, mango lemonade and sweet tea. These items came out fairly quick and were served hot. We were happy with the flavor, presentation and portion. Given a lunch menu, we pondered if the starters were enough or if we'd get an entree. We opted for the smokehouse burger and the grilled chicken salad. It was at least 25 minutes before our food arrived. Myles did come out and say our food was taking longer. In the wait, the pricing for lunch items changed and we ended up being charged the dinner rate for our items. Wasn't mad about it because it came out as we requested and presented well. Everything tasted good but by this time, I wasn't able to finish all of my food and only ate my loaded baked potato. The salad was a generous portion that will be lunch the next day. As we were talking about the long wait, Myles did come by to apologize. Oddly enough, there was a manager and other servers but no one came by and acknowledged the misstep. Again, Myles did everything he could to make sure we were okay given the circumstances. There is table seating that has half booth, half seats. There is a bar and an assortment of beverages with and without alcohol. The floor seemed dirty and some areas need more sanitation. Parking wasn't an issue. Capable of accepting payments via card, cash or scanning a QR code. I haven't given up on LongHorn Steakhouse, I just need them to not give up on themselves.
