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.

Found a hair inside my tartar sauce.... That's absolutely disgusting!

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Fantastic food, outdated food/product dates putting lives at risk.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a decent rating because the food is fantastic, but finding out that at least one if not many of their ingredients are out of date are being served to the public and worse.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

Omelette

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.

Milano Panini/ Pizza/ Garlic knots

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

We got the ginger milk pudding. Do think it's a bit pricey ($10) since it's an easy dessert to make but I guess it's all the theatrics. They pour the dessert in front of you and put a sand glass on top. Once sand glass is done, so is the dessert and you can even rest a spoon on top. The dessert is very smooth, barely a solid, and its ginger taste is very strong- which I like. Strong ginger but pairs well with the milk and good amount of sugar. It is a bit spicy but I like it this way. They do have a lot of other desserts as well as savory items on the menu. Intrigued by their savory menu and will definitely come back to try them next time.

This is a nice spot to go to for dessert!

Since we were in Forest Hills, Queens, and I had never been here, we chose to go to Eddie's. This place is really good, with an extensive menu of desserts ranging from soda floats to banana splits and many other little treats. A sweet lover's paradise. Personally, when it comes to ice cream or sweets, I tend to keep it simple. Give me a good vanilla ice cream scoop and I am a happy person. Give me a great ice cream scoop and I am even happier. Let's just say I left this place very satisfied. I had my basic yet delicious ice cream scoops. Yum. I am currently following a strict diet regimen for one more month, but after that, I will definitely come back for some of their tasty ice cream. My son, wife, and friends were also enjoying their sweets. This is a great place. They have seats, but it gets really busy and there is usually a bit of a wait. Yet that is not a bad thing. It shows how popular the place is. If you are looking for sweets, come check this place out.

From the decor to the serving cups you are getting no frills but great quality. Its a traditional ice cream parlor. And im not mad at it. They have counter seating for small groups to tables in the back. We had a group of 6 and was seated quickly. I had the ice cream float with root beer syrup. The vanilla ice cream sat delicately on top of the soda. The soda wasn't overly sweet and fizzy. I had time to enjoy the ice cream and the soda separately. My daughter had vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. There was not a sprinkle in sight when she was done. This isn't our first time. Nor will this be our last. All the ice cream flavor are of great quality. The fudge to the sundae is classic. Ideal for after dinner or date night after a movie. Dont forget to bring cash.

The layers were flaky. The cream, exceptional. Such a wonderful Pistachio flavor. Sweet enough to curb any sweet tooth. Service was easy. We ordered at the pastry display and they brought our desserts to the counter where we also ordered a Lavender lemonade. It was so good. Starbucks Lavender has nothing on theirs. The ambiance was nice. Some camped on their laptops. Others running in for a quick bite. Beautiful dining area. Very comfortable, as well. The booth couches are a nice touch. We will most definitely be back!

I ordered the strawberry tart, lemon tart and pistachio Mille fille. I really appreciated the packaging and the takeout bag, which made it seem very high end. The pastries were all pretty good and were HUGE. The tarts are very similar and the pistachio Mille fille has a subtle taste. It was reasonably priced. My only complaint is the checkout process. It was slightly disorganized but I think it was mostly due to the amount of customers they had that day.

This is actually cheesecake rather than the lighter Japanese version, with a strong black sesame flavor. Hojicha creme brulee: this came as part of a promotion, and the taste is strong.

Lighter flavor but the floral flavor does come out at the end of a bite. Coconut milk jelly: the lightest of the flavor but still sweet and flavorful enough to come through. There's a dusting of graham crackers and strawberry jelly to complement. We also got a hot matcha jasmine latte but it was actually cold. It seems like it normally comes iced and perhaps they have no way of warming up the jasmine part. There's a points program and tons of promotions that rotate. There have also been different desserts that rotate so I'll have to keep coming back to try more. They have a lunch special too where you can get a drink or dessert for less cost.
