We've been coming to Silver Diner for breakfast on Sundays for years now. We usually get the same server, Jason, who is awesome! The consistently excellent food and service keeps us coming back week after week. read more

Great food and outstanding service, Thank you Nikki . . read more

We weren't all that impressed but granted we may have ordered the wrong foods . My husband had ordered the liver, it was a huge serving , he said it was not bad. My fish & chips were a bit over cooked . My friend was happy with her tuna sandwich . Our server was nice & attentive in the beginning but she was busy so she didn't really check on us. We needed a couple of things... It's a big restaurant so people generally get seated fairly quickly. Comfy booths and tables that are nicely spaced apart . I would go back & definitely try the breakfast menu - it looked good !!!! read more

Don't really want to go into it, but... We always find the service at our local Silver Diner (Greenbelt) friendly but just not very good. But the service at this place--while still friendly--was much worse! Our main server apologized for the kitchen being backed up, which is fair and totally no one's fault. But a different server brought us our food, and when she did, she brought the wrong fries with my meal. This is NBD, and I just said, "Oh, these were supposed to be sweet potato fries," so she took the wrong fries away and then... nothing, never returned with the sweet potato fries. I had to bring it up with our main server after 15 minutes. I thought she would come back with them in 5--but no, it still took another 20 minutes after THAT. We finally get a half order of sweet potato fries after literally everything else has been eaten and we are getting our check. I realize that mistakes happen sometimes, but I really think at that point they should have offered us a discount rather than bringing us fries after we are already done eating. read more

This was our first visit in quite some time. There was no wait to be seated, and our server came over promptly. Due to the extensive menu, it took us a while to decide what to order. Our food was delivered quickly and was hot and tasty. The restaurant was clean and quiet, and the music was appropriate for the environment. Overall, we enjoyed our breakfast. Since it was a weekday morning, I believe this is probably the best time to visit, as weekends may be more crowded and make it harder to get in and out. read more

Silver diner is a decent spot to eat. I personally enjoy going there for breakfast but I decided to try this location for lunch. I have no complaints about my burger as it was an average burger. Of course I had to get one of their milkshakes which is a must for me when I go to these restaurants. I'll be back for breakfast. read more

I rarely write reviews after just one visit, but my experience was so different on two consecutive days that I felt it was worth sharing. Yesterday, I stopped in for an omelet and had an excellent experience. The food was outstanding, the service was great, and I had a genuinely enjoyable conversation with the area director. I left excited, thinking I had found a new local spot I would visit regularly. Unfortunately, today's visit was the complete opposite. The food wasn't nearly as good, and the service felt disconnected. I ordered an extra biscuit that never arrived. When my meal was brought out, it was placed at the edge of the table by an tall server without so much as a greeting or a simple "Can I get you anything else?" I was actually planning to ask him about the missing biscuit and another item, but the interaction ended before I had the chance. What made the contrast so disappointing was how positive yesterday had been. I had even spoken with the area director about getting the crab cakes for my mother in for a meal and discussed menu options for her. It felt welcoming and personal. And on the way out a server/manager almost ran me over as I was even trying to get out of their way. Odd behavior. Maybe yesterday was the exception, or maybe today was the fluke. Either way, consistency matters. Based on today's experience, I've decided I'll look for another regular spot where the food and service and ambiance feel more reliable and welcoming. i genuinely wanted this place to become one of my favorites, which makes today's visit all the more disappointing read more

Visiting my grandparents and they recommended this place. SO YUMMY! Huge restaurant with a giant menu. Love the diner feel, with the red booths and big bar. Server was nice and helpful. Want to go back and try the milkshakes! read more

Our group went for an impromptu lunch at the Silver Diner located in the Gateway Overlook shopping center in Elkridge. It's one of our go to places especially for one of our members who is vegan and she can usually find something that fits her diet. New seasonal Blue Plate BUDGET-FRIENDLY specials are available Weekdays 11am - 4pm, Dine-in only. Two of us selected the Pastrami Reuben sandwich which came with a hill high portion of nice crispy bits of French fries that tasted freshly made. The only thing I wished for was that there be less stringiness to the pastrami. There was also the Shrimp Quesadilla and the vegan eater decided to deviate and chose the Alaskan cod and fries. Everyone enjoyed their meal and our wait staff person was very nice. We went on a Thursday lunch hour which was less busy with no waiting to be seated. read more

Decent atmosphere. I feel like the food and service has gone down a bit recently. In our recent trip there we felt the food wasn't flavorful. Some of us got the pancakes that come with macerated strawberries and were told after being served that they were out of strawberries and wouldn't do a substitution. Bit disappointing and the pancakes themselves were pretty flavorless. read more

Nice buzzy ambience here - the place was packed on a Sunday at lunchtime and we had to wait for a while to be seated. But the food was disappointing- my burger was overcooked and under seasoned. The fries also tasted like they had been sitting on the counter for a while. Not inedible, but not enjoyable either. I suspect the main reason for the popularity of the place is its location right next to Costco, which was also bursting at the seams. For that reason I may give it a second chance, trying to avoid peak mealtimes - perhaps the food is better when they are not slammed. But probably only if I am already shopping in the area. Aldi and Trader Joe are there too, so it might happen. read more

The food was great as always! I love seeing their inventive meals like the Benedict smash burger. Make sure you stir the blood orange soda before sipping because the sparkling water sits at the top. Our server, Dena was friendly and apologetic when things took a bit longer than expected. I will be returning because the food never misses. read more

Had such a great experience at Silver Diner today. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out fast. I really appreciated that the menu has healthier options that still taste amazing. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made the whole experience feel comfortable from start to finish. The atmosphere was clean, relaxed, and perfect whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Definitely one of those spots where you leave full and happy. I'll absolutely be back. read more

It's been about a year since I've have brunch here and they completely changed many things for good reasons! First of all, 5 stars for Paola! She was AMAZING! She was quick, attentive and made our day with her kindness. (We'd love to sit in her section again!) The menus are refreshing and the booths as well. The atmosphere feels calmer and the food is still great. Again, this is an update and a shout out to Paola! read more

We stopped in for late breakfast on our way through the area. We've been to the Silver Diner in the airport and enjoyed our food, so thought this would be good too. Parking and restaurant are accessible, bathroom too. Spacious inside, lots of booths and tables that can accommodate large groups. We were seated right away and Keonnie was great! Keonnie came over immediately, introduced herself, and got our coffee, tea and water right away. She knew the menu and guided us in our choices, checking for accuracy, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was excellent. I had the power breakfast with whole eggs rather than the egg whites, and sourdough toast. The toasted tomato added so much flavor - delicious! And I love the Smucker's Natural jelly (no high fructose corn syrup). The fruit cup was fresh and not over-ripe. Hubby also enjoyed his breakfast (over easy eggs, etc). We would definitely stop back when in the area! read more

Interior is extremely adorable, with super cute holiday decor, and staff members were very, very sweet. The food was better than anticipated, and much more diverse in nature! Very yummy gem of a breakfast/brunch spot. They also have unique hand crafted sodas and huge milkshakes! Would definitely go again! read more

Worst service ever-waited 35 minutes for drink/food; 2 of 3 orders were wrong and after confirming their mistake we didn't get anything off the bill! When one order was corrected they tried to charge us for both. Waitress just kept complaining about being new-not my problem. It's not like she was young, just starting out......same excuses came from manager too. Very disappointed. read more

I was soooo hungry this afternoon and the food here really hit the spot. We were seated right away, though the restaurant was pretty full. We both enjoyed our fruity drinks and the food was very satisfying. I ordered the Bay Benedict. Yum! read more

First time here and we wish we went here for brunch sooner! Everything was consistently good and we loved that. Servers were nice and attentive, all worked with a smile. Thought it would be a grimy or old chain diner but it looked pretty charming and all of the benches and menus seemed fairly new/redone. Food was great! I know breakfast is hard to mess up but gotta give them credit our protein pancakes and crab bennies were so good. And this was on a busy saturday morning with servers and people flying in and out of the aisles. I don't know how this place is rated lower than a 4 but you gotta go and try them out. Expansive menu that for sure will have your every craving. And why go to those national breakfast chains when Silver Diner exists and is competitively priced, read more

We had a bit of bumpy start as we waited a very long time (around 15mins) for someone to approach us after we sat down, but after we found someone the service was excellent throughout the meal. Christian was wonderful. The watermelon cucumber mint lemonade, non-alcoholic, is refreshing and sweet/tart. The bruschetta appetizer was DELICIOUS, I probably could've ordered two and made it a meal. The sunflower seeds were an interesting touch but it works. Bread is still soft after toasted, nice big portions. The fries looked so basic were almost just looked over them but they tasted amazing, lots of salt (which we like). The crab meat pasta was a special, and it was a huge portion with plenty of crab meat + pasta. Food was great, definitely nicer than your standard diner. Will be back. read more

The service was great. The food was delicious! Relaxing atmosphere. I had a difficult time choosing my menu item. I finally selected the meatloaf with clam and corn chowder soup. My wife had the salmon. Vegetables were tender and crispy. Everything was great. I think I will try the triple decker club sandwich on our next visit. read more

One of my favorite places to go for a quick, affordable, and consistently quality meal. I've been several times recently and have enjoyed it each time. The greeters and servers are usually friendly and happy to help. I would recommend. read more

Came to our favorite food spot to celebrate my sister in law's arrival. Ryan and Paola got all our orders put in and within 15 minutes we were served. Never a wait at 7pm and we sampled the new drink: Cherry Blossom Punch. They need to keep this on the menu!!! Great food and great servic read more

Horrible experience. Wait staff didn't take our order or acknowledge us for 20 mins after we arrived so we went to leave. The hostess talked us into staying which we reluctantly did. A young man who was supposed to wait on us walked by and literally made a rude comment within earshot. Another young lady took care of us and was neither bad or good. This was a very disappointing experience read more

I love this place, been coming here for over 10 years. The staff is wonderful and very family friendly. They work well together to ensure you have a great experience. The management staff is awesome as they help out wherever they can. The cooks and line staff are efficient and consistent. I enjoy coming here and seeing familiar staff faces and catch up on what's going on in their lives. Come out and give them a try and tell them I sent you! read more

I was pleasantly surprised at this place. I always see it on the way to my gym but I never paid much attention since it markets itself as a diner. It definitely looks like a diner when you go inside but it's clean & the menu has so many options. My fiancé & I got the protein pancakes & Bay Benedict which were both delicious. I'm curious what the other things on the menu taste like so I would definitely go back. read more

We stopped in to the Columbia MD location after shopping nearby. We usually frequent the Rockville location. This location is worlds apart from Rockville. My wife's omelet was unenjoyable with reheated sausage and a tired salad. My wings were good, but the Caesar salad was all wrong! Who puts kale and tomatoes in a Caesar salad??? The kale was old and wilted and the salad was not tossed as is traditional with Caesar salads. I did not eat the salad, and had it taken off of the check, leaving me with just wings for dinner. I chose to not eat anything else because I doubted that the food was fresh and healthy to eat. The waitress must have been new; she really was unfamiliar with the restaurant's food and the food industry, in general. She was not rude, but seemed disinterested in providing a good experience for us as clients. After reading the other reviews, it is apparent that this location is a horror story We are totally turned off. Corporate should immediately look into this location to protect the brand! Obviously, we won't be returning to this location, and will make sure that any visits to the Rockville location in the future, if any, will be early enough to ensure fresh food. read more

I don't think I've ever felt more welcomed than today thanks to Martin our server this morning. Broke down the new menu for us and had such a great attitude. The food was also really delicious, hot and came out perfect. read more

Let me start by saying this review is for middle of the week during lunch time. Wow! I been here before on weekends and had a pleasent experience... 1. No Lunch Specials 2. Over Priced 3. Staff seemed uneased 4. Terrible presentation 5. Flavor was off. 6. Asked for check. Server no where to be found With all that said I could've gone to Jerry's and a better experience.

Devon W was an amazing server! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was divine. 100% recommend.

My elder mother is now admitted to hospital with food poisoning from eating lunch here.

Paola service was wonderful!! We got the American favorite it was delicious and hot. Biscuits were hot and tasty. Thank you!!

The service and food were excellent! We sat at the bar for brunch. Our server was SO pleasant and attentive while she multitasked her bar duties! The restaurant has great "homemade style" choices for breakfast, lunch & dinner! I started with the creamy crab and corn chowder which had a little "kick" of spice. Both my husband's and my meals were cooked and presented well. The portions were filling but not too much. They have wonderful mixed drinks that can be virgin or not! We had a virgin Guava Mango Ginger ale. It was refreshing, flavorful and not sweet. We will be bringing family back on our next visit! read more

Got here for Happy Hour 4-6:30 and had a good local beer for $4. We got the crab cake and the cod entrees. Both were very tasty. The crab cakes had plenty of crab and are not your typical old bay favored crab cake. They had more of an herb flavor. The cod was very soft and flavorful but a tad bit salty. All of the sides were delicious and tasted fresh. read more

No! So I've never heard of this place and my friend suggested we grab dinner. I decided to try the meatloaf as it was suggested as very good. I had about an inch slice of the loaf and no more. It says it's angus but in my heart of hearts I think there's pork mixed. Because I got very ill about 20min after eating it. The plate came as described and I was shocked at the flavor. Wasn't bad at all. But after my friend ate their plate they told me this was not normal SD quality and hopefully that's an issue they don't experience often but I've made up my mind. I threw the entire plate away due to distance. NOT FOR ME! read more
