    Cookies and cream shake
    Emily K.

    We hit Silver Diner post baseball game to eat and kill a bit of time for the postgame crowd to clear out! We got seated right away and our server was attentive. I had a cookies and cream milkshake, which was a generous portion. I enjoyed the caesar (also a big portion!) and my parents liked their burgers. The menu is pretty expansive and gives a kinda cheesecake factory/TGI fridays feel, definitely chain-y. However I love a diner so would definitely come back and try brunch!

    Country scrambler is a symphony of joy for your taste buds. Fast service and nice friendly staff. Ability to serve small or large groups with ease. Large menu with variety so everyone can find something to their taste Milkshake made with real ice cream. Delicious all around

    The Lumberjack Breakfast leaves you wanting more. It's your classic diner meal with pancakes, eggs, potatoes and meat, but by the end, I wanted more -- a testament to both the quality and portion size. Every bite was fantastic, but I wish the pancakes were larger and there was a little more of everything. Other than the portion size, everything else, from the service to the ambiance to the variety on the menu, was great.

    Quinoa Coconut Pancakes
    David H.

    I met a friend for a breakfast before a soccer game and it wasn't too packed around 9am on a Saturday. The quinoa and coconut pancakes aren't your standard diner pancakes but they're very tasty and have a unique texture due to the quinoa and coconut in the batter. The pancakes include of course quinoa and coconut and also blue berries pecans, grilled banana and strawberries. It's a good portion and they're filling without leaving you in a sugar coma. They also come with a fruit cup which goes well with the pancakes. Service was fast and friendly here. Add an Irish coffee and you've got yourself a breakfast that's worth a try before a soccer game. I enjoyed my meal here and will come back.

    One of my favorite places to eat in the DMV. This location is nice and new and across the Washington Nationals Ball park so a really cool vibe. Service was absolutely fantastic, quick and friendly. The upstairs area was really nice and outdoor seating was available as well. Food was hot , fresh and large portions. I am stuffed !

    My husband and I are regulars for dine in and take out. My husband can't get enough of the short rib burger, but lots of dishes are great here. I love all the crab dishes: crab cake platter, crab pasta, crab melt sandwich, and crab cake Benedict. Really good quality and such a reasonable price. I also love the club sandwich and the vegan cauliflower pasta. We usually split an Oreo milkshake. The adult milkshakes are HUGE! Most stuff is generous in size here. Dog friendly patio and kid-friendly throughout. My sisters's kids loved their breakfast today. We also finally tried some breakfast items ourselves. The caramel French toast and the red, white, and blue French toast are both amazing!!!!! Join eat well do well, for lots of great promos. Good for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free dining. Happy hour daily until 9pm! Always friendly servers.

    Found this place just by walking around our hotel on a recent DC trip. Old school diner vibe with a modern menu. They partner with 16 local farms and have a wide variety of dishes with organic ingredients. We loved it so much we ate here twice on our trip! We had clubs, bison burger, crab cakes and meat loaf. Lots of food for your money. Also don't sleep on the milk shakes! A variety menu too includes apps, salads, soups, burgers and a variety of entrees. Also they have a great drink menu and daily happy hour! Service was friendly and quick. Staff had orders in and food served a short time later. Highly recommend them for a pre or post game meal! Also, check out their sister place up stairs Silver Social for some great drinks!

    We wanted to go to a nice diner so decided to come here for lunch. It had a nice family diner vibe - not too crowded or noisy. Overall the food was good - I got the philly cheeseteak and it was pretty solid. The service was good, and some of the food was halal too, which I always appreciate. I would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a nice diner to go to with family and friends.

    Cocktails
    Meridena K.

    Five stars for service, friendliness, accommodating requests, and quality. Steak was cooked really nicely, not over done. Same for burger. Get the house made salad dressing, it was delicious. And the cocktails were really good too. Kid friendly with a great kid menu. Parking here is terrible, but metro accessible.

    Food was so good I forgot to take a picture. Great location and was very close to my hotel. As I walked in, we were greeted by the hostess who showed us to our table. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for valentines day and they even had a photo backdrop. The server was great and the menu options were extensive. So many options to choose from. I got the caramel French toast with strawberry lemonade and it was amazing and delicious. Definitely worth my visit.

    Tuna melt
    Mercelis B.

    I will literally always go to and recommend Silver Diner. The menu has options for any and everything and they add seasonal items periodically throughout the year. The tuna melt will always be my #1 though, it's perfection.

    New! Mozzarella Spinach Artichoke Eggrolls
    Janrose S.

    Solid food, happy hour from 3-9 PM, service depends on who you get. The shakes are great and I enjoyed the new egg rolls! Brownie on the sundae tasted a little plain and burnt.

    Land New! Land and Sea Sampler
    Scarlett D.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon to enjoy brunch with one of my friends. This is only my second time visiting a silver diner. The atmosphere was really cute. They have a silver social upstairs, which I will have to go visit. The server was sweet as can be as well as the hostess. Getting into the food, the seafood sampler was delicious the sauce that goes with the shrimp balance perfectly. The eggrolls were better than I imagined. I was not too fond of my crabcake melt. There were capers and corn, which I was not expecting. And the au jus wasn't my cut of tea. I forgot the name of the noodles. My friends got, but they were amazing. They had cauliflower and were Thai based. I would def come back for their happy hour and to try their expansive menu

    After visiting the tidal basin to enjoy the cherry blossoms, we walked to the Wharf area and…read morestopped by Willowsong for some local cuisine. Really enjoyed the local bass which had a crispy skin and was cooked at the perfect amount of tender. The cocktails were good and our server was friendly. The black squid ink pasta was good. The sweet potato pie was okay, potentially lackluster compared to the rest of the food. Loved the indoor / outdoor seating especially on a day that had beautiful weather.

    It was a beautiful day on the wharf, and my cousin and I were hungry. I checked Yelp to see if they…read morewere any ongoing happy hours, and this place crossed my radar. I had never been before, and he was seemed curious to try, so we stopped by. They have outdoor seating, but there was no service at the time, which was too bad because the weather was outstanding. The host is said we could take drinks out there, but not food. So we just opted for the bar. Thankfully, they eventually opened one of the doors real wide so the outdoor air was coming in and that was nice. Happy hour was going until 6:30, and I have to admit that some of these happy hour prices are regular prices at other places XD, but remember it's the wharf. And there was a time when happy hour there wasn't even a thing. So I got a glass of wine and yellowtail tacos with salad. I wasn't expecting the yellowtail to be fried, but it was fine. The salad was way bigger than I thought it would be. It was good. My cousin got the burger and fries... I tasted it and I think I enjoyed the burger more, haha. That smoked cheddar, whew! I found the fries to be pretty average. The ambiance of the place is very nice and I could see myself returning. Some other people at the bar got some amazing looking dishes too, but I know they were expensive XD.

The process was secure, the food and beverage minimum was fair, and once everything was confirmed, I felt completely set. When we arrived, our tables were already arranged and set up nicely. The space looked great and was perfect for a large group dinner. The only hiccup happened at the start. Our server briefly tried to seat another party at our reserved tables. They were part of a large group as well, just not nearly as large as ours. Once I let him know they were not with our party, he immediately moved them to their correct smaller table and everything was resolved quickly. Another small disappointment was that they were already out of the lasagna and the sangria, which was surprising since we arrived right at the start of dinner service. After that, the night went smoothly. Service was good, drinks came out fast, and food timing stayed consistent even with such a large group. If they have the braised ribs, you absolutely need to get them. Hands down one of the best dishes on the menu. Generous portions and full of flavor. The blood orange mule was decent and refreshing. The spicy margarita had great flavor, though I would have loved a little more heat. Still very enjoyable. Overall, Makers Union handled a 22 person reservation extremely well. Great atmosphere, solid service, and food that delivers. I would definitely return for another group dinner or celebration.

I wish I could build my own flight because each flight choice had wines I didn't like. I also wish there were more menu items. And, the bench seating cushions were worn through almost to the stuffing which was really surprising that they would let them get that bad at a restaurant like this. That said, we had a great meal with a great server. I don't think we'll be back though.
