Going to this diner was a spontaneous trip on July 20, 2018 to end the night with my family. My aunt and uncle who live in Maryland had suggested this diner, which wasn't too far away from the hotel we were staying at. The aesthetics of the diner was very pleasing, hence the multiple pictures I took. My parents and I didn't order big meals, simply dishes that we could snack on while we conversed with the others we came with. However, we were not seated at the same table as our party. We were placed at a table across the walkway, so it was difficult to converse with the others. When we tried to move to a table that seemed like our whole party could fit, the booth was too small. The waiter mixed up an order and would take forever to come check on the table. My mom ordered unlimited tea but since the waiter didn't come back to the table, she only had one cup of tea. Although the ambiance was pleasing, the service was not up to par. read more

First experience was for breakfast. Excellent customer service. Food was good too.

Silver Diner is where we sometimes go on Sundays. Usually, the best time to go is around 9 but definitely before 10. Local churches seem to get out around then and this place will pack out. We've had service that is hit or miss here, but it's usually great service. The food is great. The way that Silver Diner sources as many ingredients locally is awesome, and more restaurants should do this. You can go buck nasty here and get as much food as you want, so you end up feeling more like the cow that you just ate for breakfast, or they also have a "lighter" menu that will help you count calories. I like to stay in the middle usually. It's true that Silver Diner is a chain, but as with many chains, there is generally a passable standard of food quality that doesn't vary much. I don't feel disgusting after I walk out of here, and they serve beer and wine. Saweet! There might be better choices for diner food around the area, but this one works for me. read more

Oh Silver Diner you always have something for everyone. I've been going to this silver diner over a year and it never disappoints. The staff here is always very friendly. They check on you frequently but without being overbearing. There is a good amount of parking in the front and a large spillover parking lot behind the diner that is shared by the mall. Every time I come it's comfortably full inside nice never had a long wait if any regardless of the crowd or time that I come by. The food is always well prepared and a good temperature. All the ingredients are always very fresh. They seasonal updates are a nice addition and helps to keep the menu fresh and exciting. The menu sports classic comfort foods such as the Koch turkey platter and twists on comfort foods like the ridiculously hearty and flavorful homemade chicken pot pie. They also offer tuns of vegetarian and vegan options. Even the pickiest eater is likely to find an amazing meal at Silver Diner. The jukebox is probably one of my favorite features. Every table offers a real mini jukebox that controls the tunes in the whole restaurant. It offers classics from the past 6 or 7 decades at the low low price of a quarter. Anywhere I can play classic Jackson 5 and Backstreet Boys is fine by me. read more

A great way to start a Saturday! The staff was friendly and the menu was appealing. I had the caramel french toast, bacon, eggs, and potatoes; an all American feast. The waffle was yummy and filling. And the milkshakes, my word, fabulous! If I could suggest anything, it would be to go easier on the egg preparation. A tad bit over cooked. I would definitely go back! read more

Don't get me wrong , I love this place. We come here quite often. And the food and most of the stuff is really great. But the host leandra , dooms the whole entire place . I am convinced me and my family have to find a different silver diner or a breakfast place just to avoid Experiencing her horrible horrible customer service. You shouldn't put this kind of careless person as the front host and face of the restaurant , let me resonate with you . 1- every time we come , her service stains the whole Experience. 2- this specific time , we walked in . There was a line to even get to her . When we finally do , she said there was 5-10 mins wait . I gave her my name and asked are you guys short stuffed ? ( this was a conversation starter ans I completely understand if they were . I said that because I saw MULTIPLE dirty tables) she said Nope. I said oh it's just that I see a lot of open tables , she goes "they are all dirty". I managed a restaurant for years , and I would fire her on the spot or give her a write up for this kind of altitude. In a Customer Service Environment you have to help each other. There are dirty tables next to her , some with just glasses , is it too hard for her to help out the rest of her team and clean it up? You might argue she can't leave the host station which brings me to my next point .. 2- the waiter came and told her 2 tables are ready . She took the people in front of us and went in the back to the bar area talking about me. I know this because the people she was talking to started looking towards us. She stayed in the back chit chatting for about 5 mins with different members of the team while we wait . She finally came to say follow me , when we went to the back guess what we found 9 fully clean tables in the back . Seriously ? Do you not want the business. I have had amazing service with the waiters at this place , but passing through those gates almost makes it not worth it . read more

Best lunch I've had in a while. I got the tuna with avocado on ciabatta with a small summer citrus salad. Awesome! I often just get the summer citrus salad, and I love it. This time, I opted for the special. Great choice, if I do say so myself. The service was good. The restaurant was clean. I like this place. read more

Silver Diner as a chain that has won my vote with their revamped menu centered around fresh, farm to table, all natural meals. They source from 15 local farms in PA, MD & VA, making this a place I am proud to support. As for this location in particular, I've had nothing but great experiences each time I've stopped in. Food has always been delicious, fresh & hot, but the customer service is what stands out the most. Our most recent was after a long day, everyone was hungry & attitudes spent. Our server, I sure wish I could recall his name, offered us patience, smiles & funny commentary. It really was much needed, even when we weren't laughing & mean mugging him. For me, the great service coupled with a hot, juicy hamburger & a side a sweet potatoes fries had me feeling much better & not like the monster I walked in as. Thank you for giving my a day a 180! Additional props to the entire wait staff as they promptly & happily attended to their customers all while having fun with their colleagues as well. I spent some time observing before our food came out. Great team! read more

This place is close to my home, so my friends and I often come here when we want some quick diner food. The atmosphere is cozy and the service is usually pretty good. I love how the cherry coke comes with real cherries! The breakfast food is ok, not spectacular but definitely a step up from traditional diner fare. The appetizers are great; I usually get the cheese fries or the sampler. This place is definitely nicer than the typical diner and a good place to go to for yummy comfort food. read more

This place was just Great! We are visiting the area and our hotel staff recommended this 60's diner. You can play music at the table on a juke box 25 cents per song. But not only the music but the atmosphere is great. We ordered BLT with fries and cole slaw. It was the best! My husband ordered Carmel French Toast and it was the best he has had. Better than IHOP. We will be back while we stay here. Waiter was very attentive and personable. Great service. read more

Lil pricey. Nice staff, good food. Just don't have my shrimp and grits on a daily like I would like.

What an odd place. This diner looks like a franchise. This is not a normal diner. Their menu is severely limited compared to real diners and definitely looks like something you'd see at Applebee's or Greene Turtle - with pictures, fancy graphics and up charges to boot. From the looks of their marketing materials it's definitely gimmicky - "look how fresh and locally sourced we are!" Good diners are important to me. I come from Long Island - land of the good diner. And even Baltimore has Double T. This is no Greek-owned diner. This is corporate America leaching in on your diners that you know and love. They are trying to emulate a fifties theme. I'll take more Seinfeld less fifties. The food here was mediocre at best. My home fries were soggy. My bagel was charred. And why offer a biscuit instead of toast? I am confused. My western omelette was underwhelming. The service was fine - my waiter was nice. I've never seen a waiter offer soy milk for my coffee (I'm blaming you, Starbucks.) But who am I? Apparently they are doing something right because there's a few locations. read more

We have always enjoyed going to Silver Diner. Our time there was a good one as well. Memorial day, so the place was packed. Our server, Andrea, was attentive to us. Very friendly, kind, and amiable. The food is always great. Always a sure fit! read more

Never again. It's 10:30 at night, so I check the Doordash options for late night. After ordering from Wawa , waiting 30 minutes and they never show up, Doordash cancelled the order. So now it's crunch time, bc there are less options available. After Silver diner scammed me, I was reluctant. My son even asked me, "Mom are you sure? Remember what happened last time." But I figured, the thief was the waitress that worked in Silver Diner when they ran my card. This time it would be Doordash processing my card, so I went ahead. Here's the breakdown: caramel challah french toast--horrible and dry. All they sent was 6 slices of bread, no caramel, no flavor, no glaze, nothing! 2 biscuits--Seriously guys, you sent me the same biscuits from the morning? they were hard as a rock!! I would have been embarrassed to send these to anyone. They went straight in the trash. Lite lemonade--I get the lite lemonade from Chik Fil A all the time! It actually has flavor and tastes of lemon. Silver Diner's was watery, and again lacking flavor. Chicken Wings with ranch--Ranch was nasty and wings were satisfactory--not good, not tasty, but when it's 11:30 at night and you're starving, you'll eat them. Luckily, I threw out whatever they were passing off as Ranch, bc I had my own. Maybe this place is better in person. Maybe they are just not equipped to do late night orders--and that's totally fine, but then don't offer it!! Especially if all you're going to do is throw whatever into a bag and not even quality check it! Then don't bother! Or maybe you should offer a limited, late night menu with only 5 items on it, but you excel at those 5 items. Such a waste, such a disappointment--stale--cold and flavorless. read more

Marvelous menu, fabulous food, luscious lunch, and sensational service by terrific Tanya!

I have never just walked into the Silver Diner and got a table without a wait BUT I will say, every time I have gone, the food was good, the atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was pleasant and helpful. If you have dietary restrictions, ask about substitutions; the staff is also very accommodating and usually helps with suggestions. Worth the wait when you think about the time you will spend driving to the another place to wait there too. read more

In town for a festival, needed to fuel up. Found on Yelp, and enjoyed a really good meal after a 20 minute wait. Everyone was friendly, from the other folks in line, to the hostess, our waiter, to a man I assume was manager, popping around to make sure everyone was satisfied. Everything came as ordered, and we enjoyed it all (eggs 2 ways, bacon, corned beef hash, biscuits). Service was excellent, rest rooms clean. Another good pick from Yelp! read more

We had a ball! We had a server named Ronnie who was 21 years old and fantastic! I was impressed with his ease of conversation, memory of the order and fun attitude. We started with the bruschetta and lamb meatballs. Then we had the shrimp faro dish, baked cod dinner, and the pastrami sandwich. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals! It was fantastic service and presentation. We then decide to have some of the bread pudding, chocolate cake and hot fudge sundae. We are stuffed, happy and had a great family quality dinner! read more

Just ordered the CARAMEL FRENCH TOAST. This French toast is supposed to be covered in powdered sugar and caramel. The eggs were alright and the bacon was fine. As you can see from my picture they are plain slices of french toast. I ordered this for my pregnant friend as a last meal before she is induced at the hospital. She was VERY disappointed. This location is a hit or miss. read more

Yesterday was my first time ever in a Silver Diner, it was 10am Saturday morning. The one I visited was in Greenbelt, Maryland. What a wonderful experience. I was attracted to the bright shiny steel front doors, with such a great '50s design and once you went through those doors you stepped back in time. The place is so wonderfully decorated with that retro feel of popping color and shiny steel accessories. I wanted a few of the light fixtures that hang above the table for my own kitchen. They are a cross between a schoolhouse pendant light and something George & Jane Jetson would own. The "atomic age" feel is resplendent. What I *really* loved is how clean the resto was. The place was packed, all tables were full. Yet there was no random food on the floor, our table was wiped completely clean as were the booth seats. That made me feel good about eating here. I'm a stickler for cleanliness. Onto the menu. Lots of menu choices and plenty of healthy choices. In fact, some of the entrees sounded so good but I passed by because they were made with egg-beaters instead of eggs or low fat sour cream or low fat/no fat cheese instead of the regular (fat) food item. I watch my fat and food intake, I don't need them to. So I wished there was a choice instead of the dish automatically being made this way. Still the selection of items is vast, and plenty of items for vegetarians, healthy eaters, and those wanting regular diner food. I did order the crabcake & sweet corn 3-egg omelette which came with a flaky sweet biscuit and home fried potatoes. The little biscuit was tasty.The potatoes were good, not great, but good. The omelette was DELICIOUS! Of course it was huge so I ate 2/3 of it as I couldn't finish the rest. The coffee was free-flowing, hot and good flavored. I really liked the little coffee cups too :) This Silver Diner is very well appointed. Quite a lovely place to be. And the staff is A1 super-friendly, courteous and they were happy. The hostess was friendly and speedy in taking our seating request. We had a short 10 minute wait. Our waitperson was Papa J (Jerry) who was so welcoming and warm you felt like you were a guest at his house. He was also very knowledgeable about the ingredients and origins of the various food being used to create the healthy, quality ingredient dishes at the Silver Diner. I was quite impressed with this diner. It is not your regular diner fare. This food is of higher quality and a lot less salty than other diner food I have eaten. I will go again. Silver Diner in Greenbelt, Md get's it right. When you go out to eat you want a good experience. I can make food at home so it's not just about the food. I loved the decor, the staff's attitudes and effectiveness, and the food was better than good. I can't wait to have pie and coffee there. read more

The food quality at this restaurant keeps decreasing. I keep having high hopes every time I go, and I get disappointed everytime. The menu is interesting, but the chefs can't execute. There are plenty of better restaurants at this price point in the area. The picture below is the second re-cook of pancakes. If you can't even make pancakes without burning them (twice!) then you need to stop offering them on the menu. read more

Silver Diner can be hit or miss. Most times I really enjoy myself. On my most recent visit I sat at the bar and ate alone--this gave me a front row seat to the behind the scenes antics. Idk. They waitresses weren't very professional. One kept singing to the others. I sing to my friends as well, I've even done it at work, but never in the presence of clients. I got the chicken & waffles. I had to order it twice though. This was my fault--I didn't realize the waffle had nuts in it and I can't eat that. So the waitress ordered me another on the fly. The cooks do not take "on the fly" seriously at all. My food took quite a while to come out the second time. At least it was hot, but my chicken was so burned. I've gotten the chicken and waffles 2 or 3 other times and it wasn't burned those other times. I think the oil needed changing. Anyways, I have Silver Diner Greenbelt 4/5 stars. This review highlights. Few negatives but tbh usually my service and food here is much better. But I did want to point out these things so that other customers are Aware. read more

Nice outing. Always well staff and the food is tasty. However, one of the founders was there this evening and he went around introducing himself and asking about their service to all of the white people. He did this twice to the tables in front of us and behind us and on the side of us and passed us without saying a word. We were the only black family in that area of the restaurant. Next time I will keep my green money in my pocket and not spend it at silver diner. read more

Diner food like you have never seen before!! While driving back to NC we checked out the menu online and decided to stop here for lunch. Wow, the Brussels sprouts appetizer was delicious, the flavors of cinnamon, apricots, pecans, and cranberries made the dish! What a combination. The crab and corn chowder was delicious. The ancient grains shrimp bowl was refreshing, again the unique combination of flavors took the salad to another level! I can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow. The bison huevos rancheros was amazing too. And the staff was so friendly and helpful...which makes this a place I want to come back to the next time I'm traveling through this area. read more

I love Silver Diner. Always good and a wide selection of food. Best part they have breakfast all day long! I came here on Sunday evening and almost every table was taken. We were seated right away. Our server was great and friendly. We ordered the lamb meatballs as a starter and that was delicious!! The rest of us ordered the Ruben, BBQ burger, and Maltese Turkey burger. Everything came out prompt and was delicious! Will def. come back to a Silver Diner and excited they are opening up one in my neighborhood in Gaithersburg :) read more

went here with my girlfriends for dinner on saturday night after a day of shopping at the mall, we were hungry, so i was a bit disappointed at how long it took for our food to come. i understand that there were multiple large parties, but i was ready for that food to come! the hawaiian luau was good, but my friend's ribeye philly cheesesteak was sub par. I appreciated that it was all local ingredients. would have been 4 stars, if not for the excellent service provided by Deniz, who was very knowledgeable of the menu and so welcoming. will definitely be coming back to try the milkshakes! read more

If I could rate this location 0 starts I would. I use this location several times a year to order lunch for myself and co-workers. Today we had a terrible experience, we ordered 2 liver meals. The liver was old. As in green and discolored!! The staff did not seem to care. Instead of taking accountability for cooking and serving old food, they placed the blame on Door Dash!! Very disappointed in my service today. read more

Always a fun place to hangout. Love how they try to bring farm to table in a more cost effective/casual manner. Specials change from time to time, which is nice because I always want to try something new. Staff is always friendly and makes life a little less stressful. Food is either a hit or a miss,but most of the time a hit. Had the pot roast today and it was pretty tasty. Moist and soft like how a good pot roast should be. read more
