This location is always clean and well staffed. Never had to wait long to be seated. Very friendly staff. Food is consistently good. Nice portion size. Everything is fresh. I have been many times and the experience has been consistent. This is a regular spot for me now read more

Ordered the Just Eggs Benedict with vegan sausage from Silver Diner. So nice to have a hearty vegan option at a diner, so it was a win! The price was decent and service was fast. There are multiple locations all around the DMV area and this one is on King St, which is nice. The vegan sausage was so yummy! The Just Eggs Benedict was good but there was entirely too much spinach! Don't get me wrong, I love spinach but this was just way too much. It's as if they bought way too spinach and needed to find a way to use it quickly lol. So after I removed the mounds of spinach, I found the rest of my meal. Another disappointing aspect of the meal was side of fruit. Be more generous!!! You can give more than 4 pieces of fruit. Otherwise, the meal was delicious, nice to have a hearty vegan brunch option, decent price, and fast service. read more

A wonderful place to eat in Alexandria The Silver Diner restaurant chain was founded in 1989 by Ype Von Hengst and Robert Giaimo in Rockville, Maryland. According to their website, the founders wanted to create a restaurant that combined the nostalgic feel of a classic American diner with modern dining trends, including healthier and locally sourced menu options. Over the years, it has grown to include more than 20 locations across the Mid-Atlantic region. I recently visited the location at 4630 King Street in Alexandria. This particular location offers ample parking options, including a dedicated lot adjacent to the building and an elevator that puts you within a few feet of one of their entrances. The lot, makes it convenient for diners to visit without the hassle of searching for a space. It offers a nostalgic yet modern dining experience, blending classic diner charm with a contemporary twist. They have a diverse menu catering to various dietary preferences, including vegan and plant-based options. The interior combines retro aesthetics with modern comforts, creating a welcoming atmosphere for all. You enter and are seated by a host at one of hte many tables. Our group got a booth. The restaurant was clean and the server was efficient and pleasant. The food came out quickly. The servings were delicious ande large. The prices were reasonable for the location and economy. Overall, it was a pleasant experience for our group and I would recommend this as a good place to get a great meal in a old time but pleasant environment. read more

Absolutely horrible experience and do not plan on coming back. There is not enough staff for the amount of customers they allow, out of several wine and beers, burgers not cooked to ordered temperature and salad came without dressing. It took over ten minutes to get dressing at which time the rest of the table is done with their food. I do not recommend. read more

1st The bartender takes way to long to service you so if your there for happy the time it him to service you can only get one drink or one plate of food. 2. the Management is not surveying the area you have people use their phones and computers loudly so everyone in the restaurant can hear whatever they are listening too 3. the Food options for happy hour are really not happy hours like the chicken wings 5 for $8 at least charge $1 a wing so people feel they are getting a deal read more

Tina was an amazing waitress! She did her job very well and was very helpful! The beyond burger was also very good!

Who knew, a Silver Diner with a full bar!! Come for happy hour with bartender Hemen, she is great, super friendly, and brings a big smile with every drink!! read more

Great place for food. We have been here a couple of times for late night dinner. The food has been very delicious. I always start with a milkshake. Quantity of the milkshake is good for two people. If you're in the mood to share your shake then I highly recommend it. I have had their Hawaiian burger and steak (both very good). Burger was so juicy and it was done to my liking which is medium rare. Love the crispy onions on my steak. Service can be wonky. Both the times, our service wasn't great. Took a lot of time to get our order in. Ambiance is nice too. read more

This small chain in general has done a complete 180 since I came to DC in 2021. Yeah it's a bit pricier now but the move to local suppliers, some organic options, and a solid variety of just about anything you want (without 20 pages of menus) has been a big hit. The Alexandria location is very well run, with a super friendly and chill crew, from all over. A "great American diner" story, if that makes sense. Never a bad dish or time there. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to silver diner!everything from the food to the service was on point.Tge food was flavorful and came out quickly,and the servers made sure we were taken care of the whole time.

Silver Diner wants to capture the feel of the classic diner with an inclusive and near sourced menu. In that they largely succeed. I went with a standard menu item and got a standard food experience. Next time I might be a bit more adventurous and see if I can tack down what's special. For a Friday late night the service was pretty good, friendly. I'd prefer if they had later hours like some of their other locations but this may not be the right neighborhood for overnight chow seekers. read more

Silver Diner - Smokehouse Cheddar - Diners Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

We were on our way to a commencement when we came across Silver Diner. I mentioned that I hadn't been to one in years so we decided to stop here on our way back home. The parking is free in the garage of Harry Teeter. They offered indoor and outdoor dining. We decided to dine outdoors. We ordered an appetizer to share. I purchased the Catfish Fingers. It came with a honeymustard sauce and a remoulaude sauce. I truly enjoyed the cucumber lemonade. Found it to be tasty and quite refreshing. The beyond burger was just ok. I probably wouldn't purchase it again. Personally I think impossible burgers taste better. I really enjoyed the veggies that I chose as my side dish instead of fries. The roasted combination of brussel sprouts, beets and carrots were actually good. We all enjoyed our food. Our server forgot a few things but she took care of it after we requested it. I thought the menu was a little on the higher side considering this was a diner but they do try to gear towards a healthier menu so it's all good. They are famous for their milkshakes so I highly recommend getting one. Overall rating 3.5 read more

Silver Diner - Diners Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

This is not a diner. This is an upscale restaurant with some diner food options but also some fun, upscale menu options. The service is good but I have to say, a little excessive. Someone was coming up to our table every 10 minutes. "We are fine!" Please let us enjoy our meal. The place is clean and fun. It has a diner vibe but with a regular restaurant atmosphere. read more

Waitress was very attentive and food delivery to table was did in a great timely manner. I had the cheese philly steak sandwich with fries and Cole slaw. The sandwich was ok, but the cheese on it was not the right kind for a cheese steak; it was a bland swiss, I think. The Cole slaw did not have any taste it was just the mixer with not a very good dressing or marinate on it. The first were nice and hot. read more

As this is a chain restaurant we kinda expected that type of food - you know, burgers, fish & chips, Alfredo, fried everything- we were pleasantly surprised to see a nice list of chef specialties, some basics & more choices but not so many you decided to stick with the same ol' thing you always order. The atmosphere was clean & bright & the service appropriately attentive. We went back a 2nd time & were just as pleased as the first. Our orders were steak for him & a Mediterranean special for me - the next evening I had the meatloaf & he had the Mediterranean special. Give them a try - you won't be disappointed. read more

Good home cooking. Breakfasts all are terrific. Grilled cheese and burgers are great.

I had nothing short of an extremely interesting experience at the silver diner. I went for breakfast in the morning around 8 AM. I don't eat any dairy so I was thrilled to see that they had several vegan options on their menu. One of those options included an oat milk pancake with coconut whipped cream. When they brought out my meal, the waitress said to me that there wasn't any of the coconut whipped cream so she had brought me out regular whipped cream instead. She asked me "is this OK?" To which I responded that I was unable to eat it because of an intolerance. When she found that out she immediately removed the whipped cream and brought me out fruit to make up for it. In addition to that the manager literally sprinted to the grocery store next-door and bought dairy free whipped cream. When he brought it over to my table he was out of breath but it was so incredibly generous of him to have done that. The pancake was very good and it had blueberries and nuts in it along with fresh syrup. I had a really great experience especially given that they were so accommodating. read more

I love that they have an outdoor patio option as well as indoor dining. Service is pretty good, servers are very nice and attentive. The food was also really good very fresh and flavorful. The bbq sauce they use is something special Fries were a little cold but still crispy. This place is family friendly, it's very relaxed and not too loud. They also have drink specials on brunch cocktails We had: - A passion fruit mimosa - KICKIN' SHORT RIB BURGER* Creekstone Beef, sliced sous vide short rib, nitrate-free bacon, cheddar, jalapeños, onion straws, Southwest ranch and bbq. HICKORY SMOKEHOUSE CHEDDAR BURGER* Bbq-basted, cheddar, caramelized onions, cremini mushrooms, nitrate-free bacon. read more

Silver Diner cafe offers brunch items at a decent price in Northern VA. Offering an extensive menu from traditional breakfast, burgers, and seafood items. This location has a very nice patio that sits plenty. I loved the inside of the establishment. Set-up like a 50s diner. They also offer bar services and have great mimosas. I took my mom here on mother's day and they had specials for the occasion. I got the seafood eggs Benedict. Which featured crab cakes with hollandaise sauce. Then key lime pie for desert. Service was a little slow but it was on mother's day and they were really busy. A great place to get traditional breakfast or lunch. read more

I ordered the Avocado Toast with eggs over hard. The eggs were delicious! The avocado toast was more like guacamole toast. Don't get me wrong, I love guacamole but not for breakfast. The onions were overwhelming and the overall flavor underwhelming. My mimosa was standard, nothing to write home about. The host who seated us was great. Our server was average - we had to flag him down multiple times for things like forgotten items and the check. While my friend's French Toast was sensational, they forgot the fruit topping. Their coffee and water also came out but I waited on a glass of water longer than I waited on a mimosa. I enjoyed the overall atmosphere, reminding me of a forgotten time. I'd definitely give it another go but maybe order from the skillet side of the menu. read more

Something about Sunday brunch in NoVa, the waits are outrageous if you don't have a reservation! Somehow, we lucked out here with no wait for a party of four around 11 on Sunday. This spot wasn't our first choice but we know them as we have one close to us in MD and no wait time so.... This is a newer (6 months?) location and much bigger than the last one we visited. A good size bar area and outside seating looks good when the weather warms up. They are located in the West Alex development with a Harris Teeter next door. Our entrees were: Bbq Tacomelette (new dish with tortillas folded in) Classic Eggs Benedict, Lumberjack Breakfast (come hungry!), Shrimp & Grits (more saucy than usual and tasty). All of our choices were very good. Service was friendly and attentive and they definitely were busy with a loud atmosphere by the time we left around 1. A bit pricey. That said, portions were generous and some had leftovers. In addition to typical diner fare, looks like seasonal specials are available and they had healthy options that are sourced from regional farms which was great to see. Great to unexpectedly rediscover this regional Diner! read more

Definitely one of my favorite places I've been to in the United States to eat. read more

Who knew one recently opened up right down the street from us!! We see it as a score! As soon as we got there we were greeted! Their outside patio area was inviting and relaxing, although we settled to sit inside. Inside the restaurant was themed like the others (60s diner feel). It was cool and fun! Our server checked on us immediately. Asked if we had been there before. We told him we've been to the other locations in the area, but that this was our first time here. Everyone was so hospitable and kind. The food was just as enjoyable. Their peppermint shake was oh so yummy!! My family enjoyed their late night dinner together. We will definitely make it one of our regular hangouts in future. read more

Silver Diner - Joe and Phillip being silly!! - Diners Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

My Family and I stopped at Silver Diner after dropping My Husband off at the airport for a bite to eat. Our Waitress Tiffany was great! She made sure she came and checked on us and she was overall a wonderful hostess to us and we appreciate that. Our food was good but not hot as it should have been. We all ordered pancakes and it was 5 of us. I think they must've waited until all of our parties food was done before they brought the food out. That was a disappointment to us. Please as a suggestion if food is ready just bring it out as soon as possible. Consuming lukewarm eggs and dry pancakes were not we were looking for The Food was good though. Just not hot enough. read more

My go to spot for breakfast/brunch options when I have family or friends in town. I have some gripes with to-go service accuracy but I cannot ignore the amazing service, especially from Silvia.

Delivery review I have been wanting to try Silver Diner. Despite this not being the only location, I still hadn't visited one. I was specifically craving a Turkey Reuben, and after a few menus, I decided to try this one. It arrived on time, expertly packaged, and still hot. I loved the coleslaw on the side and the side of roasted root vegetables was plentiful and well flavored. The Turkey Reuben was very well prepared and definitely satisfied the craving I was having. I looked at the rest of the simple yet classic menu and definitely feel the need to try more out! read more

I LOVE Silver Diner. I'm super stoked for this relatively new location so close to my home, which means we can place a breakfast order for delivery and it usually gets delivered in about 20 minutes! There isn't a single dish at Silver Diner that I did not enjoy. My usual go-to is the bison huevos rancheros, which is a scrumptious and wholesome dish with chorizo, bison, eggs, and a medley of veggies with goat cheese and guac. I love love the crispy tortillas that come with this dish. Today for New Years, I got the pickle brined fried chicken and waffles. Boy, was it a soulful dish to ring in the new year! The fried chicken was super tender and moist with enough crisp on it (it's probably crispier at the restaurant, but you adjust your expectations when things are delivered!). The waffles were embedded with pecans and golden brown. The dish came with sausage gravy that was so delicious that I poured the whole thing over the fried chicken. Last but not least, I loved the two syrups that accompanied this dish. One was a spicy cherry pepper honey one with great heat and the other was a classic syrup. I'm looking forward to when COVID blows over so I can dine here in person because Silver Diner in Clarendon had such great vibes that I want to check this place out, too. But for now, I'll treat myself to breakfast delivery here! read more

I never in my life imagined liking a Silver Diner. My past visits at other locations was not impressive at all. I finally gave in at the suggestion of my kid and went to this location. This location has given me a whole other perspective. The ambiance is very family friendly and a affordable social date/get together good vibes. The menu was nice and has many options including a farm fresh section. The variety is what got me most. The drink menu had me speechless! Casamigos, Hennessy mixed drinks-- say what! The passion fruit Mimosa was so good. The parking is super easy.. go to the same garage as Harris Teeter and take the elevator up, you literally get off the elevator and walk to the left and there is SD. I will be returning soon. read more

Just ate lunch at this King St location and much to my chagrin the meal was lackluster. I ordered the "New" Vegan Beyond Meat Smash Burger that was suppose to come with Vegan slaw {it didn't!}. Earlier I noticed there weren't that many patrons dining at this location so I figured we'd get our lunch pretty quickly {we didn't!}. The waitresses first trip to the kitchen, the waitress told me the kitchen was preparing the vegan slaw. The second trip to the kitchen the waitress found out that there was no more vegan slaw. So, I asked for regular Cole slaw and there was none of THAT either. My thoughts are that the kitchen manager should've informed the wait staff that those items were out so they could inform the customer. I certainly would've made a better choice.. Needless to say, I'm not happy that I had to settle for a "very" old and wilted salad that I picked thru because the greens looked like they were from the day before. read more

Two dreadful breakfasts. I stopped with my daughter this Sunday morning to grab breakfast. I ordered a Western Omelet. She ordered their Apple Pie French Toast. The omelet was paper thin and bone dry. The accompanying toast was barely warm. Her French Toast consisted of two thick slices of bread with some toppings poured on top. I tried it, and it was gross. A supervisor happened by and asked if everything was OK. When I mentioned this wasn't their finest hour, to his credit, he sounded like he was willing to provide us with some form of accommodation. I declined his offer and still felt it necessary to warn other prospective diners about this place. Up till now, Silver Diner has reliably provided at least above-average food. Maybe this is the exception. However, many of the recent reviews seem to indicate that things may not be going well for this location. (Mental Note: Check recent Yelp reviews before going to any restaurant, even one you thought was reliable. Things can change.) read more

This was my second time visiting Silver Diner, but first time at this location. My first visit was to the Clarendon location, and everything about it was bad. Food and service. So, I had low expectations for this visit, but I was pleasantly surprised! The diner itself had a nice decor and the outside patio seating was also nice! Convenient and free parking in the garage nearby. The food was good, better than I had expected! My boyfriend ordered the Hawaiian burger and loved it, my shrimp scampi just needed a little salt (which I added) but it was very good! Our server Rachael was wonderful and took great care of us. Thank you for changing my opinion of Silver Diner. Will be back! read more
