    The food looked great. There was something off on the taste. The sandwich was hard and cold. The eggs tasted a bit bitter. I wasn't a huge fan. It might have been an off day as it was pretty busy when we went.

    Quick Snap: I love the enjoying the retro vibe of Silver Diner. I go for the excellent cuisine. Customer Service has been amazing each of the three times I was there. I've been able to enjoy the new Silver Diner of Fredericksburg 3 times. Twice with my husband for brunch and once with a friend after a late movie. I've tried the gluten free BLT and the "Smash-burger". Both were extremely tasty. I even ordered the smash-burger twice. But my favorite item from the Silver Diner menu is their hot chocolate. It's warm, rich and feels like a hug. I can highly suggest this farm to table, local chain and I can especially recommend this location. The managers are artists it shows in the quality of the food and also the great attitudes of the staff. Bravo!

    I was excited last night for the chance to go to Silver Diner. I grew up loving the old diners up North--the stainless steel that shined like a freshly waxed Airstream, the booths you could disappear in, and enough gleaming glass to make you feel like you were eating inside a jukebox. I remember the flavors from the diners along Highway 1 and 301 as my family made that long haul between Rhode Island and South Carolina. Those places could fry a piece of fish so good you'd slap your mama and ask for seconds. So naturally, I thought that's what I was getting as we walked in the door. We were met with a smile and seated fast. Everything looked clean and bright. Our server appeared in about three seconds--so quick I thought maybe he'd been sitting in the booth behind us waiting for his cue. Drinks were ordered and life was good. The bride ordered fish and chips with a side salad--Thousand Island on the side. When the food arrived, the dressing didn't. Our server said he didn't hear her ask for it. I ordered a hamburger and onion rings. I got a hamburger and fries. He said he didn't hear me either. Now look... I wear two hearing aids and tend to talk like I'm hollering instructions across a construction site. If I order onion rings, most people on the next block know about it. But somehow, the one man who needed to hear it did not. The burger was just okay. The fries tasted slightly better than McDonald's but looked like they'd been studying under them. The bride's fish was so over-breaded and stiff that I wasn't sure if she should eat it or shingle the roof with it. It had that "kept warm for a couple of hours" crunch that no one in the history of fried fish has ever asked for. Ahhh well. You can never go home. But you can go to Silver Diner--once

    apple pie with ice cream was HUGE!!

    First time we have been here.. always packed on weekends! KAIT was our server and a great personality, and I always had a smile. She even had time for a small conversation. Our food was ordered precisely delivered. It was nice and hot even up till the ice cream on the apple pie.. the bathroom was very clean. There was a lady who was cleaning the table tables always smiling, clean the tables right away didn't leave anything behind, even wiped down the benches.. We will definitely be back

    Another amazing Experience! Had my same waitress from 3 weeks ago and she remains a 10 out Of 10! Bailey took care of us and treats us and all of her customers like family. And my Belgium waffles with soft whipped butter...mmmm superb!!

    Pecan pie a la mode.

    Kendyll was amazing. Super attentive, great with recommendations, and was willing to work with my picky(snobby) palate. Then, they brought us out chocolate and strawberries as well as our pie for dessert. They were celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary with us. The staff were kind, sweet, and just overall welcoming. Will go again numerous times. I love the ambiance so much. A little more sophisticated on the food without being hard to approach.

    Fairly new Silver Diner to this area and expect it'll improve as more ppl gain experience. Service wasn't bad and the food was good. Average experience but not at the level that the other 3 I've visited in NoVA/MD. The manager for one announced to his staff that member was a no call - no show (fair) and proceeded w you know what happens to their job. While not a bad message to communicate but not infront of customers as he was at the bar area making the statement. Then there were a couple of servers who decided it a good idea to eat food a customer returned at the bar area. Again, why waste food but maybe this isn't something you do in front of customers. Probably a bunch of new people to food industry and maybe their staffing model is "hire who we can until we can hire who we want" I like Silver Diner and glad they are here but the professionalism and service will need to increase for me to continue to patronize. Especially because I've heard First Watch is coming.

    Meatloaf

    Waitress and host verify attentive Always coming over to check on and refill sodas Sprouts were great came with in house old bay dip Cod filets crispy not fishy and tasty fresh with panko crust fries were crispy Meatloaf was great with a sauce on top and crispy onions came with choose of soup or turkey chili which was delightful

It makes you feel like you are at a locally owned artist's studio that also serves food and has a bar everyone looks forward to seeing their friends. The staff and servers are extremely friendly and helpful and the place seems quite busy with regulars who love gathering together. Almost makes you want to be a local... The food is well cooked and served hot. I wished I could have tried a lot more of the menu... but it was a quick stop on the way home from a beach vacation. For such a small restaurant... there are a lot of seats and looks to be able to even host a large party of 15-20 on a long bench. The Gus burger was hearty, beef patty was thick and delicious... the fries are interesting... like a hybrid between a fry and potato chip. The onion rings are large and seem to have a funnel cake coating! Crispy and well fried. The French toast is thick and fluffy and the bread density is amazing! My daughter also enjoyed the bagel and cream cheese... The BLT is filled with beautiful pieces of ham and turkey... it's so hearty!

Ordered the Reuben based on the feedback from the waitress. Best Reuben I have had in a long time. Meat was tender and and flavorful. I would order that anytime I go back. Onion rings is what brings my review down. Heavy batter and a very slim onion. Onion needs to be thicker and juicier.

I think this would be a great stop if you're looking for somewhere before dinner or a light bite.

    I went out the other night to meet a couple of friends, and we decided on Harry's Sidecar. I've…read moreeaten at Harry's before, but this was my first time experiencing the Sidecar--and I loved it. The space is cozy, with a nice mix of tables, bar seating, and comfy couches. Their cocktail menu is full of fun holiday options, and the small plates menu offers plenty to choose from if you're hungry. I ordered the London Fog Sour, the classic crab dip, and the birria eggrolls. The London Fog Sour might honestly be one of my favorite cocktails I've had downtown--I loved it so much I ordered a second one. I'll be going back just for that drink. The crab dip was its usual reliable, delicious self, and the birria eggrolls were flavorful and packed with meat. Our server was fantastic and helped us decide which small plates to try. Overall, Harry's Sidecar is an excellent choice if you're looking for an intimate spot to enjoy happy hour, whether you're solo or with a group. I absolutely recommend giving it a try!

Service: The first impression was a little mixed. The hostess wasn't very welcoming when we asked about a booth for our family of five (two adults and three younger kids) and didn't seem open to exploring the option. Thankfully, our server, DeQuandre (Deq?), completely turned that around. He was friendly, attentive, and offered great recommendations. We appreciated his visits as he was energetic and very hospitable, highly recommend asking for him when you visit. Food: We started with the buffalo dip. It comes with chips, but Deq was awesome and add some pita, which was a great call. The pita was slightly crisped (almost lightly fried) but still soft inside and paired perfectly with the dip, which had great flavor and good chunks of chicken. For burgers, we ordered the Spicy Wrangler (March 2026 Burger of the Month) and the Whiskey Burger. The Wrangler had a lot going on but the flavors worked well together. The Whiskey Burger was delicious, the sauce was a bit sweeter than I usually prefer, but the bacon was excellent. Only critique would be the burgers were slightly underdone even for medium, but still enjoyable. The onion rings were a standout, though the breading-to-onion ratio leaned a little heavy. The fries were decent but nothing particularly great about them. Atmosphere: Casual and open, but fairly loud. Even though it wasn't very busy for a Sunday lunch, the music and bar noise made it a little difficult at times to hear others at our table. I wouldn't consider this a date night type atmosphere, more casual open dining. Drinks: Solid beer selection with enough variety for most tastes, plus a small cocktail menu and a selection of wines. Overall: Harry's Downtown is a solid spot for a casual lunch or dinner. If you're in the mood for a good burger, or consider yourself a bit of a burger enthusiast, it's definitely worth checking out. This visit was positive enough to plan another visit to explore other delicious sounding menu items. We'll definitely be requesting Deq when we return! Thank you!

For dinner on our first night, we opted to give Brocks Riverside Grill a try and we were not disappointed. Our waitress, Mckewen, was super friendly and helpful with both ordering selections when both of us have Shellfish allergies and later pairing our entrees with wines. For starters, we ordered drinks. My wife ordered a glass of Chardonnay and I ordered a Spicy Margarita. We shared an appetizer of Crispy Brussel Sprouts and bread rolls that came with a delicious oil and garlic dipping sauce. The main dining area was sparsely attended by other dinner patrons, with large windows to one side overlooking the river. For entrees, my wife selected the Roasted Beet Poke Bowl which she described as "light and refreshing" and I ordered the 16-oz Marinated Ribeye, cooked to Medium along with sides of mixed Seasonal Vegetables (sliced Zucchini & Squash) and Redskins Mashed potatoes with an order of mushrooms to go on top of the steak. I also ordered a nice glass of Merlot wine to go with it. The portions were generous, and the entrees perfectly prepared, and very tasty. If there was any fault at all, it was that the ribeye was a little too laden with a ring of fat rather than simply marbled, but otherwise no complaints. For dessert, I ordered a slice of Key Lime Pie and my wife ordered Crème Brûlée. Both were appealing to the eye and each bite beckoned us to take another bite. It is certainly someplace we would go to again.
