    Corned Beef Hash & Eggs
    Gina R.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Coffee and mimosas
    Janine H.

    The mimosa flight is a must and enough to share! Great service and quick. You can't go wrong with any of the breakfast items!

    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!

    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,

    Tip: pack your patience…read more I've been wanting to try Cafe Columbia since I heard they have the option to add ice cream to the crepe. Ice cream with crepes are one of my favorite type of crepes, and that's exactly what I ordered; a crepe with ice cream. I walked in and the cafe was bustling with people enjoying their meal, and the workers preparing meals. It was a full house, however, I was able to grab a table for two. French Toast Crepe: this simple yet tasty crepe fit the bill. It had cinnamon flavor with whipped cream and I opted for a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It didn't come with fruit which I will add next time (yes, there will be a next time). Belgium Waffle: another simple item yet the batter was better than I expected. It didn't come with toppings. It came with a lite dusting of powdered sugar and came with room temperature butter. Chai Latte: this was good on the first sip. It seemed watered down and I would have preferred more flavor. Then again, I'm not a regular drinker of chai latte, and my daughter seemed to enjoy it. So don't count this out. When we ordered the staff gave us a disclaimer the crepe would take about 25 minutes. I didn't mind at the time. It took longer than that; however, I could see the workers constantly working on preparing meals so it didn't bother me. We got the waffle about 25 minutes later so we decided to share both the waffle and crepe. The crepe came out about 20 minutes later. The cafe has a well thought out layout. It has tables on each side, a reading area, and an area with complimentary water next to the coffee/tea station. The little station has water, cups, sugar, napkins and creamer (not pictured because it was packed and constantly occupied). On the other side you'll find more tables, the restrooms, and an ostracized nook that had someone in there occupying the chairs for what seemed like quiet time. Customer service is good. Parking is free in a huge parking lot for the business building. The cafe is located at the front of a shared business building. The menu has a variety of waffles with and without fruit options; crepes made either savory or sweet; and coffee drink options. There is an ice cream bar for scoops of ice cream or milkshakes; and lastly some fruit cups. Overall, I enjoyed the cafe and plan to add it to my list of favorites.

    Libraries closed for the holiday and I have some work to do. Also, I could eat. Haha. I stayed for…read morea little over 90 minutes. In that time, I sipped on my drink. Then enjoyed a delicious crepe. The staff is friendly, especially to regulars. 'Hmmmm, do I want to become a regular'? Anywho, I forgot my headphones and the conversations were so quiet that I could focus. I highly recommend this cute local cafe!

    Eggspectation - Merriweather District…read more My first visit to Eggspectation and it made a strong first impression. Located in the ever-growing Merriweather District, parking can be a bit of a mixed bag. There's a nearby surface lot that fills up quickly, but a larger parking garage within easy walking distance that makes things manageable--and a bonus for EV drivers, with multiple charging stations that are available. Just plan ahead, especially on weekends or when events are happening at Merriweather Post Pavilion. The space itself is modern and thoughtfully designed. One side of the dining room features floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light and offers peaceful views of Symphony Woods--a perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal or a little people-watching. There's also a covered outdoor patio that looks especially appealing for warmer days. Service during our lunch visit was excellent. Ethan struck that ideal balance--friendly, attentive, and accommodating without hovering. He handled menu questions with ease and was happy to make a few substitutions without hesitation. A seasonal spring menu is currently available, but the full menu being offered all day is a nice plus. We started with the Ginger Zinger--refreshing with just the right amount of zing. I went with the veggie omelette, customized to my liking, and it delivered: perfectly cooked and packed with fresh mushrooms, spinach, and asparagus. The Lyonnaise potatoes were flavorful, and the lightly dressed salad rounded out the plate nicely. My friends both ordered the Eggspectation breakfast sandwich, stacked high with thick-cut bacon and presented beautifully. Portions across the board were generous--we expected leftovers, but between the good food and even better conversation, most plates were nearly cleared. Prices lean toward the moderately expensive side, but that's fairly standard for this area--and the quality justifies it. If you're looking for a quieter experience, weekdays are your best bet. It's also a great spot to unwind after a walk around the nearby lakes or wooded paths. While there is ongoing construction in the area, the restaurant itself is well insulated from the noise. Overall, a very solid first visit. I'd gladly return to explore more of the menu.

    What a great location! In the heart of the new apartments and down the street from Merriweather…read morePost Pavilion, this Eggspectations is in a professional building on the first floor. We had Claudia for our waitress and she was awesome! We were her only table at 2:45pm on a Tuesday and she treated us like friends. This was our first time at this location and we will definitely be back. The decor was very uptown professional meets industrial. High open ceilings with sleek black walls and marble looking tables. Very fun big bar as well. We got everything she recommended and it was so good! We got the Eggstravaganza (Brioche French Toast with two eggs, choice of meat and potatoes) and the Flatbread Sourdough Pizza with Pepperoni, grilled onions and peppers, and extra cheese. For drinks we got the seasonal Pistachio Latte and the Tropical Teaser smoothie that was a refreshing fresh fruit smoothie with mango, banana, pineapple and strawberries. When I say we enjoyed the food, I mean we couldn't stop talking about it. We are so happy we got Claudia for our waitress and will absolutely be coming back for more!

The food is consistently exceptional, the drinks are always on point, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between lively and welcoming.

The truffle popcorn was excellent, our child enjoyed the shrimp and fries, and the fresh tuna appetizer was flavorful, although overly sauced. Unfortunately, the scallops with risotto were unacceptable. Both entrees had a strong ammonia-like taste from the first bite, which was immediately noticeable to both of us. We were unable to get much attention from our server due to how busy the restaurant was, but the dishes were left mostly untouched for a reason. For a $40 entrée, we expected much better quality and execution. Sadly, The Food Market did not deliver.
