    Silver Spoon has been around for years and I would say it's most accurately described as being an average diner. The menu is your traditional NYC diner fare - all day breakfast, sandwiches, meatloaf, gyros, etc. The thing that will draw people is that they have very good prices even by Queens standards. Most entrees with a side are in the $14-$16 range, which is what even a fast food meal costs nowadays. They even have lunch specials in the $10 to $12 range. We ordered a variety of food and it was okay. The portion sizes are normal and average. One of their signature items is the burger and it was also just average in size and taste. It was actually a bit dry. The place is acceptable choice if you are in a rush to find a nearby diner. If you have time to spare, you can find much better.

    The food is pretty pricey even from many years back and now that a lot of things have gone up even more so. That being said, you can still find some good deals without having felt like it's over charged.

    Fantastic food, outdated food/product dates putting lives at risk. I give this a decent rating because the food is fantastic, but finding out that at least one if not many of their ingredients are out of date are being served to the public and worse. I worry.

    Friendly service as soon as we walked in. Hostess gave my daughter's lollipops. Also a coloring page and crayons. I ordered eggs over easy with french fries, i ordered my bacon burnt literally lol he understood crispy there is a difference i don't like to eat the fat but whatever still good. My husband ordered an omelette with home fries he enjoyed it. My older daughter orders Choco loco pancakes nutella and bananas. My youngest ordered grille cheese the biggest one i ever seen lol place was clean busy two ppl were helping so i was confused who would take Oder. Finally the man did but he was like rushing us sort of, i mean i know he was busy but we did wait almost 10 minutes to order and did not complain. That's the only reason for the 4 stars.

    Really enjoyed the food at this diner. Food was served quick, on point and staff was pretty friendly. I ordered the Milano Panini and it tasted really good, maybe cause I was hungry or whatever the case, I devoured the sandwich quick and fast. My co-worker shared his garlic knots with me, which was good. The diner's menu has a wide selection of Pizzas to Burgers, sandwiches, and popular milkshakes. There's also indoor/outdoor seating, so finding a seat is an easy task. Even though the staff was friendly, they do get a bit pushy when more customers are coming in. Overall, great diner spot

    Terrific diner serving up good portions of tasty food. Great service and owner. My running club and I hit it up for breakfast and drinks after today's NYRR Queens 10K. Did not disappoint and they easily accommodated our large group.

    Happy birthday to me breakfast !!

    I've been to Silver Spoon a few times now, and it's consistently a good experience. It is a classic diner from the food to the ambiance. The food tends to be on the slightly greasy side, but nothing crazy for diner food. Overall, it's pretty good food. The portions are massive, and the prices are fair for a good value. I'm also always impressed by how much variety they offer, and many of the meals give flexible options for the sides. The service is always really good here. They are very friendly, and they treat you like part of the family. Even when it gets busy, I have never felt rushed. I would recommend making a stop by for brunch if you find yourself in the area.

    *writing this review as I'm finishing up the last bite of the crunchy, buttery, perfectly toasted bread with my slightly greasy fingers* I was too lazy to prepare/pack lunch for the day so I ventured out to buy lunch. They have a lunch special menu where with every order you get fries, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, to name a few. I got their grilled chicken panini and side of coleslaw. And o m g. So good. As stated above the two huge slices of bread were smothered with butter and toasted to perfection (technically not panini but it was too good for me to get into technicalities. Sandwiched in between you got grilled chicken, spring mix, tomatoes, and oozy/stretchy cheddar cheeeeeese. The plan was to eat half and save the rest for dinner, but I finished the whole thing in 20 min tops. In addition to their amazing grilled chicken panini, service was snippity, snap too. I ordered at the front cashier and was out the door with my bag of yummy goodness in less than 15 min. Definitely found my go to spot for lunch!

    Silver Spoon Diner is a cute diner located in Elmhurst/LeFrak City on 58-21 Junction BLVD, next door to LeFrak City Plaza. The staff here (so many I wonder how they pay all these folks?) is wonderful! They're always ready to lend a hand and a few seconds after you walk through the door there's a smile and "how may I help you?" The diner is sectioned off by oven baked pizza pie/pastry dept, coffee station, bakery, of course the regular dining area and a bar. There are tills at all of these sections but I'm pretty sure it's one boss/es. I prefer the outdoor area as I love people watching. So many stories pass by on the sidewalk as I take notes. I've had cuploads of cheap well tasting coffee here. I didn't enjoy the spinach pie I tried. The crust was to die for but it was absolutely filled with too much soggy spinach. I won't hold that against them because that's on me and what I like. Some folks live for that overwhelming amount of spinach. From the diners expressions the food seems to be good. Silver Spoon Diner judging from interactions between staff and customers is a community well loved staple. Even their notice board has information on deaths, births etc in the community. I really like them. Free wifi that ONLY works when you're inside, cheeky bastards. Lol. Did I mention that the staff is wonderful? I did? Well that's because they are. I'll definitely be back. The End.

    How is their delivery? I was thinking of ordering a burger using Grubhub, but sometimes food arrives cold with delivery, even though I'm not more than 5 - 7 minutes away.

    You should assume that delivery from any restaurant will not be very hot. Delivery times from any service average 35-50 minutes; the distance from your location is not relevant as the delivery is handled by a third party like Grubhub and ubereats.… Read more

There's one person who works behind the counter and I assume one person who is doing the cooking. I got the pancakes with blueberries with a side of bacon and the honey cinnamon latte.

I heard him making jokes with customers and asking people for feedback. Now to the rest of it: service is weird and slow. When we were seated, we had to wait a little bit until receiving menus. Water wasn't automatically given to us also, so you have to ask. A woman took down our order, but later asked if we got waffles, even though I said pancakes - overall took 25 minutes to get our order of a salad and pancakes. Pancake platter came with two pancakes, two eggs, and a couple berries on the side. There's also an option to add sausage or bacon but no price there, which adds to the confusion. When we pointed it out, they removed the charge from our bill. There were maybe 3 people who stood behind the coffee bar which is kind of around a corner, making it hard to get service if you're not in their field of vision. Kind of strange there isn't a clear welcoming desk or something like that. Also, I think the menu uses AI as photos - there's a picture of a burger with fries and chips, but I don't think they serve chips. There's also a picture of cake with garlic next to it, which could be an artistic choice. We didn't get any drinks, but there was a table next to us who abandoned their full cups of Nutella lattes which was interesting.

It has very good quality food and excellent service. Other than the owner, most servers barely can communicate in English. However, I always felt welcomed and appreciated. In today's environment with so much hatred in the air, this place feels like an oasis right in my backyard. The food is always solid, with the salami breakfast plate being one of my favorites. It comes with three pieces of juicy and flavorful thick cut salami and three pieces fried cheese, two perfectly cooked running eggs, along with mashed plantains. Delicious! I also like their lunch foods, such as pernil and oxtail. The turkey wings are tasty, but a but dry. Their soups are some of my most ordered items as well. My usuals are the trip stew and cow's foot soup. If you look at the crowd, you'll notice a mix of latinos and locals who recognize this small shop as a neighborhood gem.

But the really beauty is that it looks like an old school diner, it's just far enough the beaten path, that it's regulars coming here. BRING CASH! My sister has wheels so I hit her up and we hit the road. We ended up grabbing lunch but I want to return for brunch. I loved the old school aesthetic from the outside and all the details on the inside. THE BETTY BOOPSSSSS are the absolute best! I could not get enough. Didn't take too long for a table, maybe 15 minutes. It's popular for those who know. We got seated in the back. Out waiter was nice but new so there was a couple miscommunications but it was all good. He was in training. Judging by the people around us, they knew what they wanted. They came over and gave us pickles for the table. My sister was not a fan, so I did not partake. The father/son duo next to us got entrees but shared pancakes and the son got a milkshake. I think next time, I need to take their lead. I got a fish filet sandwich and my sister for a tuna salad sandwich with fries. I had potato salad but her fries were better. My sandwich was yummy on a brioche role and avocado slices. I loved it. I really can't wait to return. I told everyone I know about this place! May it last for many more decades ahead!
