    Classic Eggs Benedict
    Fumie W.

    eggs benedict was sooo good!! country scrambler okay, need more sauce but love that they include pancake and fruits. service at the bar was quick! lucky to get a spot when it's so crowded for brunch here

    My turkey club and onion rings were very good. The egg rolls appetizer was not good and the Pastrami Rueben was a bit fatty. Nice waiter. Open late.

    World's Smallest Sundae

    Another visit to Silver Diner, and another fantastic experience. As usual, this location at National Harbor was hopping, but after only a short wait, we got a booth and dug into the menu. We got the chicken pot pie, a kind of deconstructed dish with the potted chicken served like a stew with two large halves of flaky pie crust on top. We also got the steak and eggs, and the avocado toast with eggs. And we finished it off with my favorite dessert - the World's Smallest Sundae. Good food and good fun, as usual. Silver Diner is my go-to spot at National Harbor, and it should be yours, too!

    Lumberjack Breakfast.

    Silver Diner is located at the main entrance of National Harbor, in what was the former Elevation Burger. Interior is surprisingly large and even with this space, there was a 15-minute wait due to a large event happening in the harbor, so I decided to sit at the counter. Menu is reasonably extensive and includes all-day breakfast. I ordered the Lumberjack Breakfast with and coffee, which arrived in a reasonable amount of time. The eggs and coffee were average, with the bacon being good and the sausage link was thick. Home fries came with caramelized onions that were a pleasant surprise. Pancakes came with warm syrup. Service was good, and overall, this was a decent stop, with the biggest problem being the price. With tip my breakfast ended up being almost $30 and that's high even for this area. Would I return here? Possibly.

    Breakfast was just ok this visit . I felt like it was a waste of money. The pancakes were dry and almost seemed like they came out of the freezer and went into the toaster over. The fruit was fresh and sweet but the only thing that was good to me were the eggs and bacon. The bacon was the star of the show. It had a maple sweetness to it and it was cooked to perfection. My potatoes were sorta dry-and overloaded with green onions. My waiter was pretty nice and attentive, she kept my water refills coming so I didn't want to give her a hard time. I don't know if it was a bad morning, or if this is the norm for them but I don't know if I'll be back anytime soon. But give them a shot, might be your lucky day.

    I came to visit the national harbor, and my family decided to stop by Silver Diner for a quick bite. The service was very nice, friendly and quick. They were able to accommodate my entire family (10 of us) into one table. The ambiance was very nice, mellow and cozy. As for the food, it was very delicious. My entire family enjoyed what they had. Our waiter was very kind! I had the tuna melt, and it was delicious! The toast itself was very warm and toasty. I also had some of my mom's açaí bowl and it was so yummy. Overall, everything was great, from the food down to the service! Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

    Lumberjack Breakfast with chicken sausage.

    They got it right!!! We were seated in what I call the VIP section. There's a few tables in the back by the bar which I thought might be a different place at first but I was happy to sit there. What they got right, almost everything but especially the volume on the music. The volume is the best I've ever heard anywhere anytime in life (at an establishment). And it may have just been me but the playlist was personal. I wasn't in my feelings or anything like that but it was my kind of music. Definitely had a Gen X vibe going. There are few things that have yet to miss at SD. 1. Mimosa & 2. Iced Tea. Both of these are always on point and I thank you for your consistency. What is a hit or miss is the chicken sausage. Often it's dry, mostly bc there's less fat in chicken but it is never bad. The food overall was good so there was no complaint there. The only complaint I have is how long it took to get service once seated. I can't really complain about how long it took to get a seat because it is the holidays and people gotta eat and there aren't a lot of full breakfast places here so I expected the wait to be seated. I didn't expect the wait for service to be as long as the wait to be seated. In their defense, there were only two people working the whole bar area. That's the bar which was packed and the restaurant part of the bar area. All-in-all it was a good experience and I will be back so...

    After checking out of the hotel Sunday morning, we had a late breakfast at Silver Diner. There was about a 45 minute wait for 2 for inside seating. We were seated in about 35 minutes! Once we were seated it took a little bit for someone to come to our table with water and ask for our drinks, so we made sure we knew everything we wanted to ask for at one time. We ordered our meals and they came out in a decent amount of time for how crowded it was. We both enjoyed our meals. I loved that they had healthy options. Silver Diner is spacious, with indoor and outdoor seating, lots of tables and booths. They even have an area with seating near the kitchen, kind of set up like a bar. The service was pretty good and they did great getting us in and out despite how crowded it was.

    Amazing food and service. We were there with a group of 11 family members for breakfast. We will definitely dine there again if we're in the area.

    I love this franchise and really wanted to love this location but between the flies flying around everywhere to the lack of service, my friends and I decided to leave after we finished our mid day coffee and cocktails . Maybe next time!

    In National Harbor has a really spiffy and nostalgic diner called Silver Diner. The place cooks eggs raised in their area, along with a lot of vegan options. The plus is they even have turkey bacon! I rarely can find a breakfast spot that can cater to me not being able to eat beef or pork due to my religion. It was really nice! My brothers and mom loved their food, especially me. I haven't had pancakes in years. It was definitely a treat trying theirs with two eggs and turkey bacon! The place gets super packed in the morning, so I highly recommend coming here early before the rush!

    Swung by here for Happy Hour after a long day. The ambiance was pretty typical for any Silver Diner location. The waiter at the bar side of the restaurant almost tripped me up giving the wrong time for Happy Hour to end, but I showed her the correct time outlined on the menu. I ordered the Old Bay Wings ($8 for 5 or 6 halved wings), Avocado Toast ×2 ($6 each), a margarita ($8), and an Angry Orchard ($4 or $6). I was very pleased with everything. The Avocado Toast (had no idea that could be a Happy Hour menu item) was the clear winner! Very tasty & delicious. The wings were good too but I think were a bit too small for my liking & slightly overcooked. The sauces with the wings were amazing (I probably should've took some to go). The drinks were good. I ended up getting another drink on the house randomly so I appreciated that I would definitely come again for Happy Hour when it isnt gloomy & raining outside. Just know that you'll definitely need to drive or ride share to the location. I would suggest catching the bus but it may take forever depending on where in the DMV you are.

    Stopped by Silver Diner for an early dinner and hopefully so they would redeem themselves for my first visit. We got wings, crab cake sliders, steak and eggs, etc. all was soooo good!!! If you are going to get a drink, just opt for a glass of wine. Do not bother getting a mixed drink. This Silver Diner is easy, family friendly, obviously a cute vintage diner vibe/theme and the staff is super nice. I appreciate being to able to go somewhere local that has attractions but I am also able to eat affordably and with a child. The first time I went here was on a busy Saturday night for dinner with my sister and our daughters.. it was A MESS. Good food but literally a mess! They ran out of chicken wings and didn't bring me any. My 2y/o never got her drink.. so forth and so on they def made up for it this visit. I will be back!

My oh my am I glad we did, we had the most amazing experience getting in as soon as they opened. From there received great service from Misha and the food came out even better than before. I cannot stress it enough that THIS IS THE BEST BRUNCH I HAVE EVER HAD. The French toast made my taste buds dance every bite. The chicken and waffles cooked to perfection and filled with such flavor. Then the Kentucky Hot Brown is the food you wouldn't expect you needed in your life but you do. The sweet buns were so good I preferred them over the Cinnabon across the street. All in all if I could rate this out of 10 it was a 20 for how good everything was. I would recommend Brunch over dinner but both still were good. I for sure will be flying from California just for this place again. Succotash staff and cooks thank you all. Especially Andrew and Misha yall are amazing!

The **beef short rib egg rolls** were a fun twist, served with two dipping sauces and pickled peppers that gave it a nice kick.

Truly though, the lack of service couldn't have been lost on our server or your mngmt that evening (unless we were just that ignored and overlooked sitting in the middle of your outdoor space) because it should've been made right that same evening with even a simple apology or explanation for the night as a whole by your manager.

The fish was seasoned perfectly and cooked beautifully. And that green bean and fennel salad underneath? So much better than I expected. I actually considered swapping it out, and I'm so glad I didn't because it completed the dish perfectly. Every bite was delicious. I also had a cocktail called the Endless Summer -- a tequila drink with this amazing foam on top -- and it was excellent. I asked the bartender for a recommendation, and she absolutely delivered. The bartender was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I went by myself, sat at the bar, and genuinely enjoyed every minute of it. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, and just an overall really enjoyable experience. I will definitely be back, and I absolutely recommend checking it out if you're at the Harbor.
