Love the fajitas and awesome service at Silverado. This place consistently has the best service, never disappointed. This is part of the Great American Restaurants group and that is a good thing because it is obvious how well they manage the kitchen and train all service staff, the people are so wonderful, accommodating and make you feel very welcome each time. The appetizers, food and drinks are always consistently great. Our favorite American cuisine restaurant in Northern Virginia. read more

Really nice to find neighborhood chains that know how to treat their customers right. Refills on drinks without asking. Chips & salsa, and bread to start. Even allowing someone to order something off the dinner menu for lunch. Went there recently with kids and it was a hit. One loved getting the salmon while another thought it was just the perfect grilled cheese sandwich. Chicken tenders are delish as is the fajitas. Prices are high but not outrageously so and it was well worth it for quality, and service. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Aside from being ill-placed in a run-down shopping center, this is a cool place to eat. Then again, I am a fan of the Great American Restaturants. This location stands out for friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff. I have only been here during lunch. The place gets crowded rather quickly, but the food is always hot, timely and delicious! The price is fair. Also, after checking out the caloric content of the food, I realized all the good dishes are pretty high in calories. (of course). But if you feel like splurging go for the white chocolate bread pudding. O...M...G!!! read more

Recommend highly. This restaurant displays the distinction of serving tasty, eye-pleasing entrees in all categories of service. I've visited with friends and family over many years and the quality and service are consistently excellent. And here's an extra benefit: location. Those reading this know traffic can be horrendous in the DC Metro area. This applies to local area commuters and travelers. This place is about 1 mile off the Little River Turnpike exit of I-95 inside the Capital Beltway in Annandale, VA. Whether you are a commuter, local, or traveler passing by, the location makes this place an ideal stop. Plus, it's located near a number of busy shopping centers -- a nice benefit for those needing to shop on the way home or needing supplies while on the road. Parking can be a challenge, especially on weekend nights. This place is in a small shopping mall. Try the mall parking lots across the street. Travelers: check out their easy-to-read website: https://www.greatamericanrestaurants.com/silverado You can call ahead for seating and have an idea of what you wish to order before you get there. read more

Best burger!! Great service!! Just the place to go in your neighborhood to have a good meal!

This spot is amazing!! Staffs are friendly and nice,place is clean,food the and they're prices are reasonable. Me and my Bf are regular customers every visit we had at this spot is great! Just want to shout out to our server earlier, i completely forgot he's name but we were seated upfront (table set up for 2) between the window and the bar and right by the entrance door. We ordered Martinis and our server was not able to serve it to us because he's under 21, hopefully if the manager sees this reviewed they'll be able to figure out our servers name but he was really nice and very knowledgeable about the menu and the special deals. read more

See all

We have been to the restaurant several times and our visit this weekend was not a great experience. We used the reservation system for the first time. The system crashed causing us to wait 30 minutes past our time. We felt sorry for the staff to have to deal with this fiasco. In this instance the food was not great either. My wife's bbq ribs were dry and lacking in taste and my prime rib was under cooked and had to be sent back. We advise sticking to the fajitas which are typically pretty good. This restaurant is always busy (thus our decision to use the reservation system) and be prepared to wait on service. That being said the staff is polite and well trained. The assistant manager did provide a gift card for our trouble and we will be back for another try. read more

Delicious and consistent. Inside is very large and good seating. Great service every time I've been. Had almost everything and it's always good, got to love the Ozzie rolls! read more

Great food reliable. Great bar. Service excellent. Call ahead and get on the waiting list or schedule thru their app

I've been here a number of times over the years. Yesterday evening, I came home with the stomach flu after eating a burger and potato. I've been up for hours tonight sick. read more

Sooo my supervisor took me out to eat so we could get acclimated over my new position in the company while enjoying good eats.. (yessssssss feeeeed meeee) annddd..... First things I noticed were definitely the festive-ness of the decor and the waiter/tress outfits. You definitely get the Texan vibe with the wood walls and the jean, white button up, and vest uniform. Since Christmas is around the corner, they had lots of holiday decorations up as well; the hostess was even wearing an "ugly sweater" which I thought was super cute. We were seated immediately and soon thereafter were introduced to our waiter. I totally forgot his name but he was awesome. You interact with multiple servers throughout your dining experience but they were all kind and came to check on us throughout the meal. They definitely get stars for customer service. and nowwww for the good stuff. The eats... I ordered a fajita. A steak and chicken fajita to be exact. The hot steamy plate of deliciousness came out sizzling, ready for me to dig in. It was my first time having one so I kinda just followed my supervisor's lead lol but whateverrrrr. it was bomb. af. Glad I ordered it. The lunch portion is 4oz so that wasn't going to cut it lol. I ordered the regular size which is 7 oz which left enough for me to take home for dinner tonight. Happy camper :) Oh, and when you first dine, they offer you a choice of chips/salsa or bread. We decided on chips and i was really digging the salsa. Made your breath reek of garlic but it was good lol 'tis all. read more

Silverado - Chicken and steak fajita - American Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Just like Mike's but with FAJITAS and QUESADILLAS ! Food is amazing and service is great!

Hate to rate on of my usual spots Went to this Restaurant and order over $111.00 worth of food I order the food for carry out food was okay far as taste on one of my orders I order the baby back ribs and it supposed to be fries and coleslaw I did not receive the fries but coleslaw my son was disappointed because he did not get his fries so I called the Manager and she ask me was I near I responded no I was home so on one of my order s I had 2 asparagus witch was over cooked Manager wanted to Reimburse me four dollars off of the asparagus because I did not receive fries so I said OK that's fine but this has happened three times at this location and I would think they would start getting these orders right since you pay good Money for food . read more

They now charge $2 for bread but don't tell you about it until after you pay and when I ask for ketchup they bring one ketchup packet lol. The guy told me they are cutting costs. So much for me spending hundreds each month for years. Greedy. Btw who the hell gives you ONE ketchup packet, lol ridiculous and a slap in the face. read more

I've been to several of the "Great American Restaurants" and though the food at Silverado didn't disappoint, I can't rate it as high as the others do to its decor. Knowing that the GAR restaurants tend to carry a long wait, we were in luck to find out that Silverado, which is a bit of an out of the way location, had the shortest wait times out of the group and we could be seated in about an hour and a half on a Saturday evening. Good thing we called ahead (highly recommended) We arrived, and after giving a password, were seated fairly quickly (we were able to purchase a beer at the bar, but only had a few sips). Beer selection is decent for a standard restaurant, with a couple of the drafts being GAR's own line brewed by Domnion. Once seated, we had a very chipper server, who reminded me of the server covered in flare in Office Space (though our server didn't have any flare, only a candy striper shirt on). He performed well, and all of the wait staff join in, so that your food is delivered on time, even had a manager come by to help pick up the check. They start you off with a chips and salsa, which would rival some of the mexican restaurants I have been to. The salsa had just the right amount of liquid, and had a nice strong hint of cilantro present with every bite. We then ordered the fried calamari and southwest rolls. The calamari is actually mixed with some fried onion (bloomin' onion style) and the sauce. It would be nicer if the sauce was separate, as there isn't enough of this south west treat, and its hard to sop up from the plate. The rolls were decent, though not much to them, little bit of corn and black bean, but seemed to deflate when picked up. Since we were going to a GAR restaurant, I knew before hand that I was going to have the ribs. Ribs to me can be a hit or miss for most restaurants, which is why I tend to stay away from ordering them. They were good at SweetWater Tavern, so I knew ahead of time that they should be cooked correctly here. Glad to see the recipe and cooking instructions are the same. The meat falls right off of the bones. You could eat these with a knife and fork, but then, you wouldn't have the pleasure of licking off the BBQ sauce from your fingers later on. The fries are more shoe string type, which I'm not a big fan of, but good none the less. The cole slaw is also a nice compliment to the dish, had a nice liquid consistancy and the right kick, though no carrots. Both of the sides are only temporary distractions however as your brain never truly strays away from the ribs. The biggest disappointment is when you see that all you have left is a nice neat stack of bones on your plate, and no more meat. Now, why only 3 stars if the food and service were good? Mainly because of the atmosphere. This place is part of a strip mall, and oddly enough, there are very low ceilings in here. In addition, there are decorations on the ceilings, making them appear even lower. Because of that, and the amount of ample decor (not done poorly, just a lot of it), it feels very crowded and closed in. We sat at a 5 top, and we felt a bit crammed with the other tables and customers. Its also dark, which doesn't really help. The mirrors may trick you at first glance, but this place is definitely not big. If you are looking for a GAR experience, not wanting a long wait, and don't mind feeling like you are in cave, then you are good to go. read more

Silverado - Baby Back Ribs, Fries, & Cole Slaw - American Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Had a great experience at lunch today. Food was great as usual, and our server Jen was absolutely amazing! Attentive, quick to anticipate our needs, but not hovering. read more

Silverado is the best American restaurant in Annandale so they deserve the praise. I judge restaurants by the quality of their bread and the height of their waiters/waitresses. I prefer shorter servers so that I don't feel like I am being looked down upon while ordering my food, so great height overall and the bread was crack. Who would've thought Tex mex egg rolls would be what I'm talking about, but I am in marriage counseling due to an affair with these egg rolls. read more

Covid stinks. Came for my birthday only to find out they stopped serving fajitas on weekends. I dont eat steak so I just had a diet coke while my husband ate :( read more

Nothing special good old TexMex outdated menu with average in all aspects. If you miss 80/90's style reminiscent, perhaps maybe~ they have average ipa selections which is not easy to find in old neighborhoods of Annandale. Go with your grandpa or grandma, they will love this place. For me, I am too hip to walk in to this place. :) staffs seem tired all the time and tend to lose their smile. Don't expect to feel home. Take out or Uber eats if you must go get that burger. read more

This is my all time favorite restaurant - one of those places where everything on the menu is great. I grew up in Annandale and still come back just for dinner here. My favorite meal is the filet tips with tequila lime pasta - not on the menu but a special some nights. They run out of it so be sure to order early! The bread is fantastic. Burger, salads (especially the chop house), fries are also great as well. Lots of options so always something for everyone. read more

Silverado - Sauteed Filet Mignon Tips - my favorite meal - American Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

I've been to every Great American Restaurant except for this one. I chose this restaurant to celebrate my day's 68th birthday based on the focus on steak (his favorite) and the Yelp reviews. I called a week in advance and they put my name on a list for a party of 8. Although they don't take reservations, when we got there, we didn't have long to wait. They brought the typical Great American basket of bread, which I enjoy. But also brought chips and salsa which was good too. We ordered the following: Black Angus Prime Rib - delish Hickory Grilled Chipotle Glazed Pork Chops - delish Sauteed Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes - a typical dish for the restaurant chain, always good The rest of the party ordered other things but they thought it was okay. I didn't list their opinions because I don't trust their taste LOL! The dessert was the best part. It was hard to choose. I pre-ordered the Warm White Chocolate Bread Pudding when I made the "reservation" and they put a candle on it for my dad. It was delicious! But I was disappointed that they didn't sing. Other desserts ordered: Old Fashioned Banana Pudding - yum Deep Dish Apple Pecan Pie - a little dry but still really good I personally believe that the chain needs to add other fruity drinks to their menu other than Coke products, lemonade, and ice tea. Add some flavored teas and lemons des or other special drinks. Overall, the service was great. The prices were reasonable. The restaurant is great for groups and good for birthdays. read more

This place had the best brunch menu! Everything that I ate here tasted delicious and very memorable. They gave us the choice of tortilla chips and bread. The bread is a must try. It is a sweet bread that is covered with sugar and cinnamon. It's not too sweet though. It's just perfect and it comes with a sweet butter that makes the bread so irresistible! I got the pan fried chicken on biscuits with a gravy. It came with a side of potatoes. First of all, the chicken was definitely not pan fried, but deep fried. But it made it taste even better! The chicken was crispy and seasoned perfectly. It went on top of a moist buttery biscuit that was smothered in a gravy. The potatoes that came on the side were crispy and was the perfect side for my meal. I also tried the french toast, which tastes so unique because the bread that they make the french toast with is thick and had cinnamon inside of it. It came with a delicious fruit reduction. Their mimosas were good, but way over priced. They gave a small amount for the price. It had pulps from oranges in it though, so you know it's fresh! Their service was okay. I had to wait a lot for things, but other than that the servers and staff were extremely friendly and eager to help. read more

Silverado - Pan fried chicken on top of a biscuit and smothered in gravy! 5/5 - American Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

We ordered curbside today and everything we ordered was very good! Easy ordering on line and easy pickup!

This is my favorite place for fajitas great service . When it comes to great food and service I don't care about how pricy it is . I've been eating here since 2017 . 5 stars delicious . read more

We are regulars here, it's closer to our house than Sweetwater or Costal Flats. Love their usual items that are on all the other restaurants menus too. Also you have a choice of chips and salsa or Ozzie rolls to start your meal, but you can have BOTH if you want! Silverado has truly some of the best fajitas in town. I always get the steak and portobello mushroom combo. The portobello is beyond awesome. They only offer prime rib on Thursday-Saturday and you better get there early as they run out usually by 8! Today they ran out at 7:15! My hubby was not happy about that. read more

Great service and delicious food. Consistently have a good experience. Keep it up, GAR!

4.5 stars Came here for my birthday with some family. I've been to Mike's American Grill so I kinda has high expectations for this place since they're part of the same family. Of course, I just had to have some of those complementary fried bread rolls (that's what I was looking forward to the most). I ordered the chicken fajitas, which came out sizzling hot on a pile of onions with sides like guac, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and beans. The dish was amazing; the chicken was nicely seasoned and so moist. The only disappointment was probably the lack of bell peppers, which are a must for my fajitas. I tasted a bit of the crab cake and mashed potatoes my family ordered and they were just as great. For dessert, I got the bread pudding and my cousin got their special at the time: pumpkin spice cake. Both were served warm and topped with vanilla ice cream. For mine, they wrote "Happy Birthday" in chocolate which was nice. Overall a very good experience. read more

Silverado - Bread pudding with a special message - American Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

This review is for to-go only. We travel about 20 minutes to reach the restaurant, each way. First time: picked up food 1/2 hour late and it was cold soggy and gross. It was my own fault. But lesser restaurants manage to incubate food while it waits. Second time: ordered filet medium well and asked for no mushrooms due to allergy. Steak came out well done and ruined and with more mushrooms than we've ever seen. Did contact manager and she refunded the 30 dollars for the steak (in the form of a gift card), and she was kind. I did think the proper thing to do for this instance would have been to refund the whole tab (45 including tip) but hey, whatever. 30 doesnt even include tax on the steak and the whole meal was shot. Third time: ordered filet medium and asked for no mushrooms nor gravy due to allergy. Filet came cooked perfectly but smothered in gravy and mushrooms, even all over the baked potato so once again we could not eat our entire entree. Ordered chop house salad on romaine instead like they used to make it and it came not chopped. My final thought is stick to Mike's, this was close enough for awhile but we are over it. We did not call about it this time bc enough is enough, it's a big and expensive trip to make and has let us down more than its worth. Definitely eat in instead if you can and if you get to-go and have an allergy- you'll have to check it manually and shine a flash light in on it and then be prepared to wait another 20 minutes if you want that part of your meal still. 3 stars because they have great quality food and they are very kind, and because I know if I did want to call them, they would make an attempt to make it right - its just not worth it. read more

Because of Covid (and remote learning), we try to go on a late lunch/ early dinner date with our 9 year old once a week-ish. The timing makes it so a restaurant is usually fairly empty and we feel safer bringing her out. We *are* a difficult table. I have a severe egg allergy and avoid gluten, my husband only likes meat and potatoes and our daughter is a chicken tenders and fries with lemonade kind of gal. It makes choosing a restaurant for all of our needs difficult. We have had the most luck for all of our restrictions and preferences with GAR restaurants but we are also both long time industry folk, so great service is super important. When I recommended Silverado for today's date, my husband was hesitant but we shouldn't have worried. Luis was splendid. It takes a true professional to master the hesitating walk-by for leisurely diners and we appreciated it so much. Engagement with our daughter is a must and she even asked if he could be our server every time we go back, because he talked to her and made her feel like a grown up. Never doubt the power of talking to the children. They are (or should be) the most important people at a table and should be treated as such. Food is always great at GAR restaurants and allergy protocols are strictly followed. I will only need an epi pen if I have runny yolk eggs but any cross contamination will cause hours of pain and discomfort so the attention to detail is welcome. Luis was charming and kind and just the right touch of witty. He was perfect and we will be back! Thank you so much! read more

Best restaurant in Annandale. Also has the best server in Annandale, his name is Oscar. It doesn't get better than their food and his service. Customer for life read more

I've always liked this place but it feels like it's slipped a bit over the past few years. Food is excellent.

I love the ozzy rolls and staff is always efficient. All of their steaks and burgers very good !

I have lived in Alexandria and Annandale all my life. I have been to this establishment probably 100 times now. As I travel the world I am always comparing the dishes to Silverado. It is so consistent and you always leave satisfied. The fajitas are second to none (trust me, I can't find anything better). The chicken fingers are second to none. The crab cakes are second to none. Those have to be the three staples. The brunch is solid. The Silverado's margarita is top notch. Service has dipped over the years, but where hasn't it? This is a 5 star restaurant without a doubt. read more

I've been going to Silverado for many years and this evening the manager Kelsey was not only sassy with her tone, but did not want to help me with an order over the phone. I explained to her that the item I wanted was not available to order online but was available if I came into dine, she still was unwilling to help me by just simply placing the order for me over the phone instead insisted that I drive there then order at the bar and wait. So I called Carlyle and they not only let me place the order over the phone, but was kind to me. The customer service I received from the manager at Silverado was unacceptable and ridiculous. I won't be returning there and will make this known on my social media platform! read more

I haven't been to Silverado in 5 years. The servers were great--very attentive. My son loved the fajitas. He got a big portion and felt they were flavorful. The salmon in my salad and my husband's steak were a bit undercooked, but both dishes were tasty overall. We liked the dollar bread basket, but the price of the steak seemed high. We had a gift card to pay for part of our meal, but I'm not sure we'd go back if we didn't have one. read more

I stopped here while in the area for work. This is a pretty cool Tex/Mex place. The decor is neat, special lights and woven Indian rugs. Service was very prompt and the server was knowledgeable and friendly. They had a gluten. Free menu they gave me at lunch and I did not even have to ask. Most of their sandwiches can be served "naked" for gluten free folks. I for the pulled pork bbq sandwich. It was delicious! I don't even like coleslaw but theirs was so good I ate every bite of it. The only thing I didn't like was the back of the booth was a large mirror. Not a huge fan of watching myself eat every bite of that delicious lunch. Would definitely return. read more

This restaurant have the best portobello mushrooms fajitas and the chopped salad is vary good.

Service is always great at this place. Food definitely never fails to be good. Great for a late date night get away as they close their doors by 11pm read more

Always great food and service when dining in but careful with carryout orders. I had BBQ ribs with Cole slaw and they didn't separate it. There was slaw all over the ribs. They need to put Cole slaw in a separate container. read more

I took my friend here for her birthday (well, she drove, but I treated), as it is one of her favorite restaurants. On the outside, and for all appearances, it is a by-the-numbers restaurant that serves a variety of different options. However, they serve what is possibly one of the top five burgers I've ever had. Seriously, I have dreams about this thing. They also have these really delicious sweet rolls with a sweet butter. I could have eaten these all day, keto be damned. I'll definitely be back. Quick service, good food, reasonable prices, who could say no? read more
