    Solid, modern eats with a nostalgic vibe! Always a fan of Silver Diner and this location does not disappoint. The vibe here is of a casual diner, with an expansive menu that changes often with the seasons and local eats. I came here after visiting a friend out in the Waldorf area and decided to grab take-out before heading back into DC. I will admit I almost did not stop here because it was near closing time and I hate order from place near closing. I got here near closing and the food was just as fresh as if it was opening time. We all know how it is getting somewhere to eat near closing time.... You tend to get subpar service and food. You subject to getting a scraps, bad orders, guilty eye rolls from your server, "ain't got this, "ain't got that," issues....lol. But, this was not the case at this Silver Diner. It was a great experience from beginning to end. Our bartender/server was Cameron C. and he did an amazing job serving us and making us feel welcomed. He's truly a people person. He kept the drinks on point while we waited for our food and made sure our orders were prepared exactly how we requested. During this visit, I tried the Short Rib Burger, Loaded Fries as a side & Buffalo Wings. Everything was delicious and fresh. And, the burger was the star!...A juicy 1/2lb burger pattie cooked to perfection....topped with bacon & tender braised short rib!! It was complete meat overload, super fresh and sooooo good! For anyone that is "meataholic" like myself...you gotta try this thing. My wings and the loaded fries complemented my dish well too. Not to mention, everything was packed well for the long haul and drive back to DC....of course, I couldn't resist and snuck in a few bites of the fries at each stop light heading back down Route 5. Let's just call it a #qualitycheck! lol ;-) In all, I enjoyed my visit. This location gets two thumbs up in my book. I'l definitely visit this SD again if I am ever in this neck of the woods hungry and in need. * Yelp Elite Tip & Honorable Mention: Sign up for their "Eat Well Do Well" Rewards Program.

    I love Silver Diner and this location does not disappoint. From meal options for even the pickiest eater to high-stakes culinary celebrity sightings--this place has it all! I actually had the pleasure of meeting Executive Chef Ype Von Hengst during my visit. For an award-winning chef and Food Network winner, he was incredibly humble and courteous. He truly has a wonderful listening ear, which makes the "local flavor" of this diner feel even more personal. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is great--I even walked away with a coupon for a complimentary hand-spun shake for my next visit. Come for the menu, but stay for the local hospitality! #enjoygoodpeople

    Came on a Wednesday morning and they were quite busy which the staff didn't seem prepared for. The hostess when you first enter was pleasant, welcoming, and informative. Our server was very slow. She mentioned how busy the restaurant was and seemed overwhelmed which I don't think needs to be shared with the customer. The manager on duty was making rounds and helping out as best she could so the effort of some of the staff is very much appreciated. The food was great. The kid enjoyed her hotdog with strawberries. My mom had a smash burger with fries- ok, bun was dry. I had a ribeye steak sub add mushrooms with fries- delicious. The restaurant was clean and recently renovated by replacing some of the booths with tables and refreshed all the seating.

    Wifey and I partake on MLK day brunch. The establishment was packed, however we were quickly seated and the service was good considering the volume of people. We opted for brunch and both dishes were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this Silver Diner if you are in the area.

    Irish coffee is the best !

    Always top tier food quality , quantity and variety, I've loved this restaurant since iwas a child . They have always offered something new fresh and innovative.check them out they are more than just breakfast.

    Huevos rancheros always hits! Rarely do I order anything else. It's flavorful. Mom orders the calf liver. She says it's tender. Giovanni was our server today. No complaints. We'll be back.

    Food is always perfect! This is going to be a heavy rotation breakfast spot for me and the Big Spoon. Service is always okay, not perfect but they are honestly always busy. We tend to bring good luck and people flock behind us, never fails. So we always start off good and then it's packed! Ambiance is casual. Waffle is fantastic! Silver Diner is always a WIN!

Nothing really stood out, but nothing was terrible either. The restaurant has the typical crab house setup with brown paper covering the tables, and everything was spaced out nicely. We decided to sit at the bar, which is fairly small. I'd estimate there are only about eight bar stools. For drinks, I had two Moscow Mules, and my friend ordered two Lemon Drops. Both were good, especially for happy hour, and the prices were reasonable. The only food we ordered was the fried calamari, which came served in a small boat tray. The bartender also handed us plain white paper plates.... the same disposable plates you can buy at walmart. I'm definitely not someone who expects fine dining at a crab spot, but it felt a little lazy. Most seafood restaurants at least use branded paper trays or sturdier disposable plates that fit the experience. I completely understand that restaurants are dealing with rising costs, but this small detail took away from the overall presentation. Since we only ordered an appetizer, I can't fairly comment on the rest of the menu. However, I noticed several tables enjoying steamed crabs, while most of the people sitting at the bar had fried seafood platters with shrimp, fries, and hush puppies. Everyone seemed happy with their meals, so that's always a good sign. I did make a trip to the restroom, and while it was clean enough, the stall door was difficult to close and lock properly. I actually had to hold the door shut while using the restroom, which is something I hope they fix soon. We ended up staying for about two hours, and the atmosphere was relaxed and easygoing. Another plus is the large parking lot, which made parking convenient. Overall, Crab Boat was just okay. The happy hour prices were good, the drinks did the job, and the service was fine. I don't see myself going out of my way to return, but if I were in the area and wanted to grab a reasonably priced drink or it was one of the only available options, I wouldn't mind stopping in again.

    Decent. Not special. Unlikely to make my regular rotation…read more I drove past this place going back to forth to work and on the outside it looked like a nice establishment. Today I finally visited and was a bit disappointed to see the underwhelming interior where it is strictly carry out and cheap metal guest chairs to wait on while the food is prepared. But it's really about the food right?! Meh. It was very hit and miss. I ordered the (4) sliders with grilled onions. They were slightly charred which was nice, and they were juicy, but they could have been cooked a little more (they were like medium to medium well and I prefer well done - I should note they didn't ask how I preferred my burgers cooked). I also ordered their jumbo fried wings and picked sweet and sassy sauce. The sauce was tasty and the wings had a nice texture, but beyond the sauce the wings had a plain flavor suggesting they didn't season the wings before frying and then coating them with sauce. Overall the food was solid but not awe inspiring. I was less impressed with their cakes. I ordered a strawberry slice and a carrot cake. The carrot cake was moist and wasn't bad at all. I've had much better, but it was edible and satisfied my sweet tooth for the day. The strawberry cake however was dry and grainy. Perhaps it was old. It was definitely a waste of $7.99! On the plus side the employee was friendly and nice, so there's that!

The steak and cheese featured soggy bread with a side of limp lukewarm fries, and the jerk chicken was a poor imitation of jerk flavor, as the best word I could use to describe it was lifeless. On the bright side, the employee was friendly and the food was ready on time, so at least there was that. Unfortunately, this was a total miss so my first time will also be my last time.
