The service was excellent, the food not so much. Silver Diner should stay in its "diner" lane as it does pretty good diner food. We started with the quesadilla which was made on whole wheat tortilla. I appreciate the healthy option but does change the taste of a quesadilla. It came with guacamole that was not even as good as supermarket, store-bought guacamole. And the cilantro sour cream didn't taste creamy, almost like it was no fat sour cream. I ordered the lump crabmeat with Angel hair pasta and a creamy lobster sauce. The ingredients were all quality and seemingly fresh, but the execution was horrible. The pasta was so soft and mushy that it barely resembled pasta. The rim around the food in the bowl was lined with an excessive amount of old bay seasoning, and even though I love Old Bay, it totally overpowered the dish. Thankfully it was a gorgeous summer night and we were sitting on the patio which was lovely, which made up for the mushy, over spiced meal. If I'm paying $25 for an entree I expect better execution. I will definitely go to Silver Diner again but will only order food you can't mess up. read more

This place opened up not too long ago. The food is great and so is the service. Our waitress was really nice and helpful. It doesn't look like the typical silver diner with all the old designs though (and not sure why). read more

Silver Diner - Diners Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Second time here. First time was very nice. But i forgot to write a review. Pot pie was perfect. The crust was delicious. crispy & not to thick. Plenty of creamy veggies & chicken. The calf liver was also very good. Very tender the way it should be. Portion was a little too much for me. No room for dessert. This the second trip. The chocolate cake is served warm with a scoop of ice cream. Very nice. Portion was ok for me. The scoop of ice cream was skimpy. But still worth it. Friendly & quick service. read more

We go about 1 week.. I order hamburger and milkshake, and was delicious. But my sister in law order vegetarian plate and the sauce have meals... That's very bad, i recommend that if you are vegetarian, asking first to be sure that you plate don't have meal.. The price is a little expensive..like $8 for a milkshake ‍ read more

I had a great time at the Silver Diner this Saturday. The food and coffee were both great, and the service was EXCELLENT. My friends and I really enjoyed it. A big thank you to Alex for the wonderful service! read more

Friendly Service, great location an overall food was adequate. It's Silver Diner so I don't have unrealistic expectations but the Beyond Meat Miso Veggie Burger is awful. Not because of it being a meatless burger of course bu the watermelon raddish and ginger are a hobble combination. Do not recommend that meal but would go again and eat something else. read more

Silver Diner has always been there for me when I wanted that late dinner or mid day breakfast. I have to say that I've had pretty good experiences at this location in Rio since it opened. The staff is pretty good although sometimes during the weekend service can get a little slow, especially if the server has a trainee. Other than that the food has been consistent and mostly everyone has been friendly. They have a nice outdoor seating area but mind you there's usually a wait when the weather is nice. One of the nicest things is you can dine with your dog in the outdoor seating area which I truly appreciate! read more

My sister and her daughters took me out to lunch today. So enjoyable, the food was good, and our server Sarah was outstanding! My husband has been reading the recent bad reviews, and cautioned us that we should select another place. I am so glad that we decided to go anyway. The view of the lake, fun music, along with service and food helped me celebrate my birthday, making life seem normal. :) read more

Visit twice recently, probably will not visit again. This is a new store, open recently, this store hire a lot of no experienced wait staff and manager. Just like today, after we were seated, the waitress brought the water to us, and did not have us straw, later, after the appetizer was served, she forgot brought us the plates, we ask for it when the manager passing by, and he said "how many plates you need?" Kind of strange! The kitchen also got their problem too, when my dish was served, the meshed potato were cold, the fried onions strips were cold, the boiled spinish were cold also, only thing hot in my plate was the steak. If the restaurant want to make money, they need to provide good food and good service. Not using customer's money to train their staff. read more

Something for everyone- was eating myself so the counter service was quick and easy. Warm Kale salad with Brussels sprouts- etc- yum. And kickin crab soup. Andrew was my server- quick, friendly-fast! Smile smile smile. This is going to be a habit, now got to come during the week. read more

Ok service from staff yet attentive but this criticism is for the food. I had basic eggs home fries and bacon. The eggs over medium tasted cool luke warm when I was expecting it to be hot. The home fries was over cooked and I could barely eat them. Not the server/bartenders fault but kitchen cooks could of put some love into cooking something basic read more

Eh. I'm pretty sad writing this review. I usually go to the Rockville location because they are always on top of their game and everyone is so amazing. This location has a lack of attention to detail. We were left alone many times for long amounts of times and the chicken noodle soup was not hot. Sad face... I know. When I was given a menu, every page was so wet and smelled like dishwashing water. The bison huevos dish was delicious at least and they were pretty friendly. I won't be returning to this location because as busy as the other location is, I would rather go there. 3/5. read more

This place has really great service. We go here very frequently with our dogs and baby for patio seating (both before and during the pandemic) and have consistently had good service. The food is pretty good overall and love the milkshakes. read more

Michael was professional and made the dining experience excellent . Great work Silver!

This place is disgusting. I ate paper in my burger. I received my burger with paper stuck with the cheese. How does that even happen. And once I let the waiter know, he said I would have the burger removed from my bill and get a new burger. The manager told me that I have to pay for the new burger which I didn't even want anymore and I lost time from a movie i was going to see. Management has to step up. Not only I ate paper and wasted time ... I had to pay to eat paper. read more

Good breakfast spot. The Huevos rancheros was the best I've had. Fat device and a great location.

Good service very attentive. Good selection. Burgers well made. Clean quiet atmosphere.

Nashon was the most incredible server I've ever had. Smiling face, sense of humor and attentive to every detail. He checked back with us several times during the meal to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. He made the evening a memorable experience. The world needs more service providers like him. read more

This Silver Diner has an great location. It's right on the water. I would recommend this place for dinner and a movie. The staff was very efficient with Adrianna as lead on my to-go order. read more

Club sandwich all bread and no meat. Substituted for side of fries with another soup without permission leaving us short of fries on second meal. Bison burthis should be enough to post a reviewer read more

Silver Diner has you covered, regardless of what you're in the mood for. I was craving something light after a long flight, and my dad (who hadn't eatend all day) wanted a burger. I grew up going to the Silver Diner in Rockville, so this was a natural pick on my way home from the airport. On a Thursday evening at prime dinner time, we were seated immediately. I got a yogurt parfait and chicken soup, along with vegetarian stirfry with quinoa noodles to take home. My mom got a turkey dinner, while my dad got his burger. The parfait had far too much granola for my taste, but the yogurt itself was just what the doctor ordered - not too sweet at all (I hate overly sweetened yogurt) with berries on the bottom. The stir fry was even tasty cold when I had it for lunch the next day, and the chicken soup was the perfect dinner on a chilly evening. Our waitor, despite only being on day 2 of his job, was a pro. He made sure we had everything we needed, and let us know when the food was coming (which was quickly). The restaurant itself will be beautiful in warmer weather when they can open up the floor to ceiling windows facing the lake. read more

Terrible service. Waited from the start and order was messed up. Staff didn't seem too interested in making the situation better. Will not go again. read more

The safety measure where were very well thought out and executed. The staff was really attentive and great. Our server Mo was amazing made the best amaretto sour and was quite accommodating. Was glad my wife and I chose the Silver Diner for dinner tonight. We also enjoyed our appetizer the shrimp quesadilla. It was such a well balanced flavor profile. read more

The new plant based menu is on point. My new favorite. The "meatballs" and cauliflower mack is yum. The Pineapple stir-fry is pretty good too. read more

One of the worst fish & chips I have ever had! Very thin cut of fish (menu said it was cod - but tasted like basa) - recently thawed - the fish inside was wet and mushy - not dry and flaky. Very poor batter. And the sizes were small. The fries were small not crispy shoestring fries served in a small metal container. Avoid! read more

If you're ordering take out make sure you check to see you got what you ordered before you leave because the staff behind the counter couldn't care less about it. They look at you like you're speaking a different language and don't even take the time to see if your order consists of one or two bags. Th beat part is that when I called for a refund for the part of the order I didn't receive they tell me that I have to go online to get a refund. Pathetic!! read more

I enjoyed the food really well and Jasmine did a really good job making sure we were taken care of. The food came out really fast, the milkshakes were really good and I enjoyed the company. read more

This is a brand new location for a DC pastime. I've always been a fan of the Silver Diner; quality food, open late hours, reasonably priced, fast, friendly service. Lots menu choices. I like that they have started putting a nutritional analysis on the menu. I ordered the wild caught Alaskan Cod this evening, pretty good for 19 bucks. I was a bit surprised it had 19 g of fat for 467 calories; however, at least they were honest about it and that's a good start. I have been a number of restaurants in the same location that did not fare well, but I'm hoping they've got the formula right and will be here a long time. read more

This is a staple restaurant in our house because they offer a wide range of gluten free and allergen friendly meals--that are tasty. I have to eat gluten free because of my health, but by choice. So I like my food yummy and not to make me sick. Here I'd tried the Ruben (3.5 stars), Carmel French Toast (5 stars), and blueberry quinoa pancakes (4.5 stars). My husband likes everything, and he's a fairly picky eater. Overall it's a pretty good place that's flexible for all family members know matter their diet. read more

This review is long overdue. We have always enjoyed coming here. Food is tasty, service is wonderful and attentive. During the pandemic we have been ordering for to go only. All of our orders have been on point. Perfectly cooked, well packed, no missing items. Most of all service is always good. Sign up for the Rewards if you haven't. It is generous. Free entree on your Birthday after a certain number of visits. Email offers every few months. read more

This is a review of just one menu item; the Veggie Chili. I stopped at Silver Diner Rio for lunch today and ordered the chili. It was awful! The bowl was filled with thick red goo and occasionally recognizable pieces of vegetable. I was so disappointed in the quality of this dish. Do not order the Veggie Chili!!! read more

I had a wonderful service, thanks to Walter the manager he was a huge part of this amazing visit. I appreciate him for the help on the menu and also on how good my food was. Also my waiter was real good nice and attentive. 10/10 read more

I had a bad order with Uber eats. There were no utensils, items missing from order and the food was cold. We decided to go to the establishment as it was 6 mins away. The manager Brian was very apologetic and accommodating. He gave us another meal for free and we even stayed for drinks. Will definitely come again but only for dine in. read more

Fresh and delicious! Avocado Toast phenomenal! Caramel French Toast! Huevos Rancheros!

A few weeks ago, my son and I ate here. He was being a bit extra and I was a little embarrassed, not to mention I had a billion questions because I hadn't been to a Silver Diner in ages and I'm super picky. Our server was so patient and and didn't bat an eye at any of it. It's pretty standard for me to write a note on the back of the receipt or fill out a survey to let someone know when they've done a good job. Tonight, we were there again, this time with my mom and brother too AND had the same server. Not only did Sway do a wonderful job putting up with our shenanigans again, but about halfway through the meal he PULLED OUT MY NOTE FROM LAST TIME. He had kept it and it made me so happy to know it meant something positive to him. read more

Great food and staff! We really enjoyed our meal and sitting out on the patio. Try the milkshakes! read more

I had high hopes for this location bc I've had great experiences at the one in Rockville. I know that my salad had grilled veggies on top but my entire salad looked like it was put on the grill. Have you ever heard of a greasy salad? Yeah, neither have I. This place is nothing like the one in Rockville, the quality of food and service isn't that great. There were plenty of times we had to wonder where our waitress was and the only time she was at our table in a timely fashion was when she collected the bill and gave us our receipt. I wouldn't go back. read more

I went with my friends and while the food was alright, the waiter kept disappearing. I don't mean he nearly walked away, I mean he disappeared. You can see the whole restaurant at once no matter where you're sitting and this dude just was not there. I have no idea how you can vanish like that in a restaurant so small. read more
