Consistently great service and a wide range of excellent dishes on the menu. Today I had a very tasty, crisp Caesar salad with salmon. I often get the fish sandwich. read more

My Mom and her 2 friends were seated at Table 10 in front where lots of servers pass by. It was surprisingly slow service and the food was just okay. My Mom and one of her friends ordered the challah BLT and liked it. Her other friend and I ordered the 2-egg breakfast. She requested scrambled eggs; they were light pink (yuck) How can real eggs scrambled be pink??? My meal came out COLD and REALLY well done! So, I asked for it to be hot so they brought another meal and the eggs were cooked just right but had a fishy taste to them... One staff member with a beard kept coming around to table to clear the sugar and straw papers which was a constant interruption to our conversation... Like can't he find other ways to help out??? All of the tables weren't filled yet it took FOREVER to get our check from Lili our waitress... It seems like the community frequents this place as the ambiance was loud but some tables were empty. read more

The Daily Dish has a lot going for it. It's cute, both inside and out, has lovely and attentive servers, and the bar knows what it's doing. We were especially impressed with the basil spritz mocktail. It was interesting, adult, and perfectly happy-hour worthy. Truly the age of non-alcoholic sophistication has arrived. The only problem is the food. I could swear the Daily Dish leaned gastro-pub in the past, but the last couple times I have eaten there, the food was sub-standard. The pizza tasted like something you keep in the freezer for emergencies (possibly it was undercooked?) and the mac and cheese brought a frowny face to the guest I had recommended it to. The burger definitely has gone downhill. Even the dessert tasted like something out of an Aldi package. (No shade on Aldi; some of their stuff is really good, but dessert is not their forte). Please, please will someone who cares about food get in the kitchen?? I know you can do better. read more

Cute neighborhood spot. Selection of drinks and oven fired pizza. The happy hour was vast with a cute list of specialty drinks. We came to catch up but I wasn't impressed with the menu. Definitely, a lot of vegan or trendy dishes but nothing popped out. She settled on the Beet Salad with Salmon and I a chicken sandwich with home fries. She liked her salad but I wasn't impressed with my selection. It was indeed a hearty portion but did have much flavor. The spicy Aoil is what gave it elevation. The fries were very oily and didn't have any salt. I only ate the bottom half with toppings and 1 fry. The Witches Brew was strong but needed to be microwaved. I wouldn't come back but I hear it's a neighborhood watering hole. Maybe the weekend brunch or pizza offering is better. read more

We wanted to try out a new (to us) local brunch spot and The Daily Dish met our preliminary checkboxes... mainly outdoor seating for dogs. ;) The restaurant is located in a small shopping center with a cute outdoor set up. We dropped by on an early Sunday (around 10/11 am), and fortunately there was no wait. However, it might be advisable to make a reservation because the outdoor area seemed to fill up a bit while we were dining. For brunch, The Daily Dish has a nice mix of egg, sweet and savory menu items. Since I was in a sweet mode, I decided to go with the Challah French Toast, which was served with strawberries and smoked bacon. Overall, I thought the French toast was very filling and delicious. Extra points awarded because the French toast was not too sweet. The brunch dishes' prices were pretty standard ($15-20ish) compared to other brunch spots in the area. Same goes for the adult cocktails. Overall, the environment was pretty chill, and I thought service was pretty good. Since the restaurant is located in a small shopping center, the restaurant has free and accessible parking Looking forward to keeping The Daily Dish on our brunch rolodex. read more

Absolute neighborhood gem. Beautiful outdoor patio and the food is fresh and creative. We were very pleasantly surprised by everything and will definitely be back soon. Excellent cocktails as well. read more

Came here to catch up with coworkers over drinks and dinner and it was a nice time! Love that there is an open lot right in front of the establishment so you're not having to stress over garage or street parking. I got a glass of white wine and fish tacos - the tacos were okay but nothing to write home about. Very chill and relaxed environment, and our waiter was great. read more

Brunch is my favorite meal of the day... but, at restaurants , it's often limited to Saturdays and Sundays, which makes it even more special. At brunch, you can have a cocktail before noon (reprehensible!) or have a little lobster with your eggs (lavish!). Hence I'm always looking for good brunch places, and I'm happy to say that I've found another one! The Daily Dish on Grubb Road in Silver Spring, Maryland often stays unnoticed for years and years by fans of the fabulous Parkway Deli, located in the same little strip mall. Until today, I was in that category... Parkway's gravitational pull is SO strong that the only way I got around it was to promise myself I could go in after brunch for a few takeaway items from the deli (the city's best whitefish salad or chocolate babka, anyone?). The Daily Dish has everything I could want from a brunch place: good cocktails, an interesting menu of both sweet and savory dishes, and delightful service. My Steak and Eggs plate featured the best over-easy eggs I've ever tasted outside of Spain (were these also shallow-fried in olive oil to give them such lacy, crispy edges?) and a tender, perfectly cooked mini steak with browned onion-studded home fries. Three simple foods, but all so well executed. The cocktail, a lemony lavender-scented Spring Forward, was from the regular (non-brunch) cocktail menu. Order it "up" in a martini glass for the best results... when served long with ice, it is too diluted to make its delicate statement. Reasons to go to The Daily Dish instead of its wonderful sister restaurant J.D. Hollinger's Waterman's Chop House in downtown Silver Spring? 1) It's easier to get a reservation, and 2) It's easier to get a parking place. Both restaurants have Jerry Hollinger's Pennsylvania Mennonite touch: absolute insistence on the freshest ingredients. But the fact that I don't have to worry about paid parking, and can still be true to my first love by stopping by Parkway Deli on my way out, makes The Daily Dish an exciting new love. read more

I thought if I went at 3:00 on a Monday I'd have no problem finding a seat at the bar. I was wrong. Actually, there were two seats available at the very far end, but the one on the end had a lot of junk in front of it. That was ok because I was alone. It's the last week Of school so I wanted to celebrate with Daily Dish's 15th anniversary special happy hour. I started with a lemon drop martini which was perfect! I could drink a pitcher of these! The happy hour taco of the day special was fish tacos (2), my favorite! The chef uses three types of fish, but mine were mostly salmon. They had great seasonings and the cabbage was fresh. The sauce complimented the tacos well. I hope these will be on the regular menu, and maybe shrimp too! Service was attentive for how busy the bar was. No one was seated outside or at the "floating bar" as they call it. I'll have to gather my friends next time. read more

What a pleasant surprise on all levels. We were looking for a quick but delicious classy meal and that what's we got. I was late to meet my friend as Google maps took me all over the place on the bike trails. Yes I was riding my bike and I didn't know my way around. Not only was there a rail to lock my bike, covered outdoor patio to dine in but the service was prompt and pleasant. The scallions and salmon were devoured with not a morsel left on our plates. Food was tastefully prepared, delicious and prompt. What more could anyone want from a neighborhood restaurant. A real find in an everyday strip mall. read more

A great Sunday brunch spot with friends! The waffles were delectable. I also had a virgin Bloody Mary that was good, but a bit watered down. Our wait staff were super attentive and constantly checking on us and removing empty plates and drinks.

I have been here more than once and it's been bad! The Service is very bad and it takes too long! They also give you a nasty attitude! It took more than 30 minutes for a side dish! The porch and inside are too crowded and felt unpleasant! My mother made a reservation two days in advance and they lost it.When she asked they had no clue what she was talking about! So dam RUDE! I will never come here for all that plus the park-side deli is 10 times better than this place! read more

This is an absolute hidden gem. Located in a neighborhood strip mall, but the quality of food and service were amazing.

First, let me begin by saying I've been coming here off and on for quite some time and am always pleased w my meals. However, a friend invited me out and I suggested here and was pleased it was Winter Restaurant Week. I shared that we love this place and all of the food has been delicious regardless of the meal. We both had the radish salad, fresh, nothing special. My friend had the pizza which was excellent! I ordered the blackened MahiMahi and it was sub par, huge flavorless bun, the pieces of fish were barely there....and I only tasted the seasoning came w potato wedges that I was told were baked but they were over cooked and seemed fried. Didn't eat those. For the price, I really could have done better eating at home. The chocolate mousse dessert w berries was fantastic. I've never had a complaint about any entree I've gotten there but I wasn't as pleased w my lunch this last time. With prices increasing , I would be hard pressed to come back any time soon. I still enjoy this neighborhood place bc it's not fast food, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is laid back. read more

We decided to try this restaurant for lunch on Saturday after seeing a long line at the Parkway Deli. The place has outside seating with a roof and a low-key vibe and offers various meals and alcohol. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated at a table right away. There were several groups already sitting and waiting for food before 11:30. On the menu, I didn't see many vegetarian/vegan options which I prefer if I can. The drinks were definitely overpriced. A single cup of orange juice for $4 and a lukewarm watery latte for $5.75. were disappointing. I've never seen a latte coming with a spoon already in a cup. Starbucks offers decent and cheaper coffee for sure. The meals were average. Waffles were super airy and crispy, but didn't give much flavor or satisfaction. Both bacon and waffles were literally cold as well. On the other hand, the omelet was fresh and better. The toppings were stuffed into a big omelet, and the eggs themselves were aggressively seasoned. Side potatoes were okay, but a little greasy. Overall, I would rather expect decent meals, drinks, and service for this price so I will look for another place next time... read more

Pretty abysmal and less than underwhelming. All around substandard. Was invited to restaurant week lunch by friends. Didn't enjoy anything about the experience. Server spacey, not customer friendly and lacking follow through. He knew nothing about any of the food and when asked his response was repeatedly "it looks good." He left midway and someone else showed up to finish serving us. He seemed good. The country music was blaring so loud that I literally could not hear my dining companions sitting across the table from me. Caesar salad was lack luster and borderline wilted (see photo), pot pie bland, burnt on top, doughy, not served hot and lacked flavor. A Marie Callendar frozen pot pie would have been more satisfying unfortunately. My son said his pizza sauce was "runny" so he was forced to eat it with a fork and knife to avoid spilling the sauce on himself. He ordered the bread pudding which was dry, tiny and had no caramel as described. The key lime pie was acceptable. So disappointing. I couldn't wait for the experience to end. I will not be returning here. Ever. To add: I will be checking health code violations before going to restaurants moving forward. The last one here was on 1/8/2024. read more

Taking time with my daughter to explore our own area. We came across The Daily Dish. We had a delightful time on a hot day to share a glass of wine, fresh and crispy Peach Salad with creamy goat cheese, and a flavorful charcuterie board. The staff was friendly and attentitive, even during a very busy lunch rush. We can't wait to come back to our new discovery. read more

Well, that was delicious. Honestly, I didn't know the Daily Dish existed until today - an out of town friend googled "brunch spots" and here we are. I think he made an awesome choice. I had the brown sugar latte while perusing the menu and waiting for my friend to show - really nicely done. Sweet but not overpoweringly so, enough coffee flavor for happiness, etc. My friend got the lobster Benedict and I did the make your own omelette. We both got the breakfast potatoes. So let me just tell you now - get the breakfast potatoes. They were dynamite! And my omelette was delicious - tons of bacon, super fresh mushrooms, and gouda packed this massive, massive omelette. Honestly, I should have stopped eating - it's two hours later and I'm still super full. I'm so excited to find a nice place to go out for breakfast or brunch. read more

I've eaten here twice and have enjoyed this restaurant both times. It is unpretentious and has a nice atmosphere. The food is comforting and good. I had the lamb shanks, and they were great. It's also nice to be able to park easily. I'm sure I'll be back to try other things on the menu. read more

The food was good, service was fine. One big problem: The live electric piano was so loud that it made conversation nearly impossible, even though we were outside. We moved to a table further from the music, but it was still too loud. Do electric pianos have volume buttons? If so, turn down the volume. A lot. read more

I'm glad things are starting to open as people are started to get vaccinated. We came here at 10:00 am with brunch reservations. It was very busy! We sat outside in the beautiful patio. The food was good but my create your own omelette definitely needed some pepper and hot sauce to give it more flavor. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food so I'm giving four stars for their experience. I think they must have been very overwhelmed with all the patrons because they got a couple of orders wrong (vegetable frittata instead of bacon frittata), and I had to remind the waitress to add breakfast potatoes to my order. It also took a while to get her attention to ask for that hot sauce. It was very busy so one of my friends was okay with the bacon being sprinkled on top of the vegetable frittata. Overall, I would love to go back since it's nice to have a brunch spot in Silver Spring. read more

This joint has become our de facto family restaurant. Our young boys have their favorite dishes from the kids menu and my wife and I always find something good to eat (the menu rotates with seasons). Service is fine: depends who we get as a server (everyone is friendly, just some faster than others) but overall, this is a great family local place. I'm surprised it has such low star ratings as it's a heck a lot better than some higher-end and much more expensive places in Bethesda (in terms of ambiance). Last time we went was jazz night: and was a surprise treat for my mother. So all good and would recommend this to others. read more

They had me at lobster and arugula and added avocado and white cheddar, wrapped it gently in Challah bread and grilled it to a crispy perfection. This lobster grilled cheese served up with a cup of roasted pumpkin soup couldn't have been more perfect on this dreary, rainy day. Three for three and daughter still raves about her French Toast from the Sister restaurant (The Dish & Dram). Update (7/20/20): I got an email and notification about a Jamaican Popup at "The Dish". Work schedule caused me to get there later than I wanted but it was worth the trip. I feel very comfortable dining at The Dish in their expanded outdoor seating area. They are conscientious about social distancing and doing business in a manner that protects their staff and their customers. The music was great and the food, though less spicy than I expected, was delish!! I was skeptical about the goat curry as I've only had unapologetically greasy goat curry. Not sure how he managed it but the chef's preparation of the curry resulted in a lighter presentation without sacrificing flavor. I ended my meal with soursop sorbet provided by Ruby Scoops. It was a perfect and refreshing ending to the meal and beginning to my week. read more

Visited today with a group and I will NOT go again. The food lacked flavor and the staff are rude and uninviting. We had a reservation for 10 and upon arrival they appeared annoyed and irritated with the size of the party. They crammed us into a small area with barely enough space on the table for all of us to dine comfortably with elbow room. I received a Bloody Mary that was water down and also flavorless. My server was agitated that I asked for it to be corrected. Later, when he was refilling water glasses he inadvertently poured water into my cocktail. I waiting for him to acknowledge or apologize and he did neither. A bit later we brought it to his attention and his response was "yes, a little water spilled in your drink". He said nothing else. He didn't offer to refresh the drink, remake the drink or remove it from the bill. NOTHING. When I later asked for it to be moved from the check, he snatched the drink off the table and stormed away. Later when our server came by the table I was quite surprised the when he saw that a couple of us had barely eaten 10% of our meal, he never asked if we needed anything or if the food was ok. He simply cleared the table with near full plates. Here comes the kicker. When we were done eating our server brought our check. We waited for him to come back to process the card to no avail. After more than 15 minutes passed some of our group that needed to leave began to disperse. By the 20 mark I was alone and awaiting assistance. Since no one came, I proceeded to ask a server that was not occupied if she could process my card for the tables payment. She said she would but I would have to wait. I informed her of my 20 minutes and counting wait and that I would have to leave soon. Her response was "if you leave I'm going to call the police" . Instead of her going to process my card, she proceeded to go and get a telephone and began calling the police. I have never experienced such a display of clear bias and bigotry that this restaurant displayed. Needless to say, I will never return read more

So good! Although my family lives nearby and have patronized "the deli" and Red Maple (located in the same plaza) for YEARS, yesterday was our fist time visiting The Daily Dish. To be honest, it was the availability of outdoor seating that pulled us in, but the food and service will be bringing us back often! The fried oysters were plump, fresh, perfectly, seasoned, and perfectly cook! And the remoulade that accompanies them is addictive! The heirloom tomato salad (with mozz, basil, and balsamic glaze) was simple but the flavors were anything but! It was so incredibly fresh and delicious! The steak in the beef tenderloin salad was perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked! The house Chardonnay is delicious and Suzy offers a nice pour (which sooo matters! LOL) And the service was top tier! Suzy and Tania really went above and beyond to ensure that our first visit was great--and it truly was! The only miss (and reason for the missing 5th star) was the entree. Unfortunately, it was a pretty big one. My mom and I both ordered the soft shell crabs. As true crab people (both hard and soft shell) we love a great crab! These weren't great by a long shot. We think they were picked too long after they'd molted. The parts that were supposed to be easy to chew were not quite so. There were parts that were weirdly chewy and crunchy in an unappetizing way --not yet shells, but close. Disappointing because the actual crab meat was super sweet. But the texture totally ruined it. The potatoes were undercooked-- although the outside looked golden brown, once we cut into them, it was apparent that they needed more time and the taste reflected that as well-- they were hard and we didn't eat them. And the big pile of not-so-flavorful slaw on the plate seemed more like a space filler than an offering made with taste in mind. The asparagus was good tho. lol So, yeah...that part was a bummer, especially at $35! But the rest was terrific! Suzy and Tania, thanks for a great time! read more

Favorite go to local spot! You can tell everyone who works there has customer experience as top priority. Great food and better atmosphere. If you're looking for an intimate neighborhood bar where the staff know you by name this is the place to be! read more

Our favorite eating place near home, a pleasure in many ways. Low-key ambiance with neighborhood feel, medium prices. Food usually tasty: good salads, soups, pizza, crabcakes, burgers, plus classier entrees above $20. Watermelon gaspacho a great idea! Also includes a well-attended bar with quiet sportcasts and patrons. Gentle, unintrusive service. Site between Silver Spring and Bethesda, off East-West Hwy. Front wall of windows rolls away in summer. During Covid, Daily Dish has served meals in a series of tents (heated when needed) in the front parking lot of not-busy local shopping center, also the home of the beloved Parkway Deli. read more

Classic eggs benedict w/ breakfast potatoes and extra sauce and side sausage -- 25.60 Above average and gets the job done though i couldn't finish my homefries as they were over salted --same with the hollandaise which also had too much air and fucked up the consistency. Poached eggs were incredibly fire perfectly cooked and the english muffin was an english muffin. The meat on the benedict had the consistency of crispy leather --not necessarily a negative on a mostly soft dish. Hostess was super sweet and clearly working hard, as was the kitchen staff sweating it out for a full indoor and outdoor brunch seating (i would have dropped dead i only saw 5/6 cooks in that small little bar kitchen that extends into the dining room which seems like its own special version of hell i hope there's more kitchen and more chefs i couldn't see). I got my food to go so! who knows! maybe it's better as a seating. Also when it comes to homefries i'm looking for equally crispy and soft which i think they achieved but the red onion wasn't a comparable level of cooked which could be an artistic choice but i def got a few bites of straight up raw onion which understandably threw me. Side Sausage had good flavor but came chopped up? Overall I'd say it isn't worth 25 bucks, I'm sure it's only that much bc of inflation but ya never again sorry y'all read more

I have nothing positive to say about my meal here. The staff barely knows what they are serving, and the food was average at best - except the fish, which was so salty I could barely eat it. When I left the fish on my plate, the server didn't seem to care even though I said it was "too salty to finish" when he asked if we "enjoyed" our meal. We tried the bread pudding and it was so dry (isn't there supposed to be some kind of caramel) and the key lime pie seemed old. The filling was coming away from the crust. We were seated near where the staff congregates, but no one seemed to look over or care that we barely ate our food. And if you're going to make "classic cocktails" have a bartender/server who at least knows what bourbons they serve. read more

Surprised by some of the negative reviews. Have never had a bad meal or substandard service here, and Mother's Day brunch was no exception!
