    French toast with bacon
    Tamara S.

    My 1st time at this location. It's been a few years since I've been to one. Our waitress was great. I ordered French toast with a side of home fries. Our food came and it was luke warm that my butter didn't melt on my French toast. Disappointed in that. The home fries just had onions and cheese piled on top and not warm. A little disappointing in the food. Service was great.

    One of my best friends and I wanted to spend some quality time together, so we kicked off Christmas Eve with a tennis class and decided to grab breakfast afterward . Normally, we'd opt for a trendier DC brunch spot, but since the class was in the Largo/Upper Marlboro area, we went with an old faithful: Silver Diner. We both knew one thing immediately - milkshakes were non-negotiable . We ordered the Mocha Holiday Shake, and wow... it was so good and they definitely don't skimp on the portion. Super rich, festive, and honestly could've been a meal on its own. For food, my friend ordered the steak and eggs, and I went slightly outside my comfort zone with the corned beef hash. I've maybe had corned beef hash once in my life and it's not something I'd usually order but I was in a weird mood where my usual go-tos (shrimp & grits or an omelet) just weren't doing it for me ‍. To my surprise, I loved it. The corned beef hash was served with potatoes, caramelized onions, and eggs, which I ordered scrambled with cheddar cheese . Everything tasted hearty, comforting, and like something your country relative would make at home, in the best way possible. Given it was Christmas Eve, the place was pretty packed, but we were seated right away (we arrived around 10:15am). The restaurant itself is quite large and also has a bar area with self-seating. Our server, a young guy who was likely a teenager was friendly and attentive, though a bit forgetful. I didn't hold that against him since it looked like he was covering quite a few tables and doing his best. Overall, the food and service were solid, but I do have one request: better hot sauce options . Tabasco is simply not real hot sauce. Crystal or Louisiana would be much more appropriate especially in the Black community . All in all, Silver Diner did exactly what it needed to do: comfort food, good vibes, and a nostalgic, reliable experience. I'd definitely return the next time I'm in the area.

    Shrimp & grits
    Devon O.

    I haven't been to an old school diner like this in ages. The nostalgic feel of the red chairs, the floor tiles, having a booth. Where many places today run to what's trendy, these were mostly classic dishes made with organic, clean ingredients. I liked this so much, I went for breakfast, had my mind blown and ran back for dinner the next day that I could. If I had to choose between them, I say go twice. Starting with breakfast, not enough menus today have a classic lumberjack breakfast. I asked for the local sausage and this was easily one of my favorite parts. The shrimp and grits took the spotlight. The grits you could eat with a fork (but were not dry!) The sausage was juicy and spicy, and I didnt feel like I had to look for shrimp. I would not suggest the eggrolls. New sauce. New flavor combo. Something else has to happen. The wings are legit. I didnt share any additional preference and the wings came saucy yet still crispy. The crab cake sandwich with lobster au jus, was Maryland. Everything I needed from Maryland in one delicious bite. I wish they also served lobster bisque to have that much more of the sauce. A very easy go to in the future.

    Now, I'm a little disappointed to write this but as I say to enjoy what I thought would be a simple morning breakfast alone, I was joined by some kind of bug crawling throughout the bar area. I've been to this location before and haven't had any issues however if there's one bug there's likely more. I did let the server know and she sort of cringed and said she'll let someone know. I couldn't finish my good because I was so focused on watching where that bug was going.

    It's not just a diner. We are at the bar as we were pressed for time and table were a 20 minute wait. The customer service is very good however the food is even better. Everything we had was delicious- the mimosa could definitely do with some tweaking to make it delicious. The ambiance is good for a diner - check Them out. Your belly will thank you

    Caramel French Toast & Eggs
    Stacy G.

    I wrote a great 4 star review while waiting for the check that abruptly went to negative 48 stars (if possible). Went in, ate, had a nice time, and when we walked out the front door....SOAKED! There was a crew pressure washing the signs above the front door soaking every patron that walked out with dirty water! Zero excuse for this. Middle of the day, on a weekday, and during lunch time! Tons of patrons disgusted. Who planned this and why was no one telling them to stop?! Negative stats but now for the review I wrote BEFORE walking out the front door.... Clean, welcoming and fast service until we waited a while for the check. I had the caramel French toast with eggs and bacon. My husband had the tuna melt. Mine was fabulous. My husband said his sandwich was amazing but the fries were cold. Still a great meal in a fun place with . We will definitely be back here or try other locations.

    Apple pie stuffed French toast
    Paris B.

    Finding a restaurant in the DMV with solid plant-based options for a toddler is no small feat, but Silver Diner has been our go-to after my son's basketball practice. The only issue? No plant-based options on the kids' menu--unless you count dessert. I'd love to pay kid prices for my kid's meal, but every time I try to order the oat milk protein pancakes from the kids' menu, it comes out wrong. So now? I just order from the regular menu and keep it moving. Parking & Seating Parking is super easy since it's located in a town center--no need to circle for a spot. The quoted wait time was 10-15 minutes, but we were seated closer to 10. Service & Drinks Our server greeted us and handed out menus, but when I initially asked for water, she only brought it for my partner and me--not my son. I assumed "water for the table" meant everyone, but lesson learned! For drinks, we ordered: * Watermelon Cucumber Lemonade - refreshing and flavorful! * Mocha Cold Brew - smooth, but our receipt later revealed a billing issue (more on that below). * Kids' Oat Milk - ordered after I realized my son's water never came. Food Breakdown * Apple Pie Stuffed French Toast (Bae's Order) - He enjoyed it but wished the apples were softer. He had to go get syrup himself since our server was by the expo window. * Bacon Bleu Burger with Fries (My Order) - Decent, but nothing mind-blowing. The fries tasted fresh but weren't the warmest. * Oat Milk Protein Pancakes with Just Egg (Kid's Order) - My toddler actually ate half of the pancakes and all his Just Egg, which is basically a win in toddler dining! The Bill & Final Thoughts Our subtotal was $71.23, but with taxes and tip, it came to $89.76. Later, I realized our server never removed the original coffee my boyfriend ordered before switching to a mocha cold brew. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely a note for next time. Will I return? Yes. The food is solid, and finding something a toddler actually likes is a win. But service can be hit or miss depending on the server, so I go in with realistic expectations. Overall Rating: 3.5/5 * Great plant-based options (just not on the kids' menu) * Easy parking & usually a short wait * Service is inconsistent * Warm, not hot, fries & billing mistake Pro Tip: If you're ordering plant-based for a kid, just go straight to the regular menu and don't mention it's for a toddler. Trust me.

    Buttermilk Pancakes & Eggs
    Grace J.

    Great food and even better service! I went for a classic breakfast--pancakes, eggs, and turkey sausage. It came out quickly, piping hot, and was absolutely delicious. The pancakes were fluffy, eggs were cooked perfectly, and the turkey sausage was seasoned just right. One downside: the bacon. If you're like me and prefer it crispy, definitely let your server know. It came out a bit flimsy, and I was a little disappointed. Other than that, everything was fantastic! The diner is quite popular, especially during brunch hours, and they don't allow you to put your name on the waitlist in advance. So, if you don't want to wait too long, I'd recommend getting there a bit earlier before peak times. Overall, a great spot with good food and friendly service. Will definitely be back!

    Chicken and waffles. Ask for extra gravy. What you see is what you get with your order.

    One day we'll be able to give half stars. Strong 4 stars. The food here is always delicious. One of our favorite spots when we are in this part of MD. Service is a touch slow so pack your patience. Also, we not ever been here when it isn't crowded. Come hungry not hangry in case you have a bit of a wait. They have a full service bar with a few drafts on tap.

    Here's the waiter on his cell phone completely ignoring me while I've been done with dinner for about 10 minutes
    Alex Z.

    Absolutely ridiculous service took 10 minutes for a waiter to recognize. I was even sitting there when I finally did get my food. My salad came out with my entrée, which isn't really that big a deal. The bigger deal was watching my waiter, stand and play on his cell phone never checking in on the tableuntil both of my plates are clean and I waited for another 10 minutes for him to be done texting and whatever. If you want to be a customer service service customers if you don't wanna service customers get a job at freaking Walmart.

    Bagel
    Tyler C.

    Beautiful building. Comfortable surroundings. Plenty of parking. Loved the space, except for the breakfast food. Sesame bagel (only bagel choice) wasn't toasted. Wasn't crunchy on the outside, so even the plastic Container of Philly cream cheese couldn't fix it. Grits were plentiful and tasteless. When i asked for Butter I got a single small plastic thimble. Coffee came in a large mug, and was very good!

This place is pretty big and I am curious with the setup if Jaspers was another type of "entertainment" establishment where more than the drinks would be shaking.

What I do know is that Jaspers is well worth a return. From the looks this place stays busy and a definite local spot for some. Service was pretty good and it is no different than many places where some are doing more than others and so glad we had someone who was focused and answered our questions. I started off with a drink called the Darth Vader. It is strong but not to the point where you taste just alcohol. I highly recommend the Chino Latino Rolls. I wish they had some avocado lime crema to go with it but this app was good with the sour cream. The appetizer came out hot and was not waiting under some heat lamp. I went with the bacon cheeseburger at a medium rare. This place has a very good burger, and it was better than some places that charge way more. Put this place in for top burgers in the DMV. No complaints and this is a good place to checkout. It took me a minute to get here but glad I did finally. A second visit is a must for me.

There's a small Wyndham hotel next to it, so if you look up and see the Wyndham signage, you're in the right spot! I've never dined at this spot and it's been here for YEARS! I believe it started off as a Howard Johnson's many moons ago, but don't quote me on that..LOL. The restaurant itself is really nothing to look at. It's seems more like a diner than a restaurant but it's surprisingly large, just a little outdated. I sat at the rather small bar since I was there for HH. The bartender was extremely pleasant and attentive. I ordered the wings and bacon wrapped dates that were on the HH menu and I also ordered the calamari which was on the regular menu. I must say, the calamari and bacon wrapped dates tastes as good as any I've ever had! The wings were very good as well. The HH priced margarita was extremely good and $4 off the regular price! I will definitely be back when I want to grab something good and lowkey. Oh yeah, there's a Mexican food vibe which surprised me. I was served complimentary chips and salsa, and the menu had several Mexican cuisine offerings. Because of this, they may want to consider a name change.. Lol!
