    Caramel French toast
    Alanna P.

    Great service! We came here late at night ready for some food and were very happy with the selection! Tons of great food options from breakfast to steak to seafood and all decently priced for the area. Lots of good drink and ice cream options too. We really enjoyed the caramel French toast

    Western Omelette
    Tara S.

    Great place for a proper breakfast and right across the street from Nationals stadium! The decor is classic diner with chrome and upholstered booths. The avocado toast featured truly fresh cut avocado topping, surprising because you might expect an operation this slick to have a shipped-in avocado drizzle in a tube. But not here - everything's freshly made and they even have gluten-free pancakes. The service was super fast - Karen took our order and seconds later it was with the kitchen staff. It's tops if you're crunched for time and staying in Navy Yard!

    Patty Melt, sweet potato fries
    Elyse B.

    The patty melt at Silver Diner is delicious and can be customized with a turkey or chicken burger. The rye bread and caramelized onions are perfectly paired together. As per usual, the service was great!

    Plant based grasshopper milkshake

    Great Silver Diner location. Many vegan options on the menu, including milkshakes. The vegan eggs Benedict is always my favorite (and my nonvegan colleague agreed it was yummy!). We sat outside and had good service (albeit probably slower than if we had eaten inside). The location is as close as you can get to the ballpark so it was fun to watch everyone parade in for this evening's game. Inside has cool vintage diner vibes.

    Great food service and ambiance. The meatloaf was so tender. You won't be disappointed. Great portions too.

    Cookies and cream shake
    Emily K.

    We hit Silver Diner post baseball game to eat and kill a bit of time for the postgame crowd to clear out! We got seated right away and our server was attentive. I had a cookies and cream milkshake, which was a generous portion. I enjoyed the caesar (also a big portion!) and my parents liked their burgers. The menu is pretty expansive and gives a kinda cheesecake factory/TGI fridays feel, definitely chain-y. However I love a diner so would definitely come back and try brunch!

    Quinoa Coconut Pancakes
    David H.

    I met a friend for a breakfast before a soccer game and it wasn't too packed around 9am on a Saturday. The quinoa and coconut pancakes aren't your standard diner pancakes but they're very tasty and have a unique texture due to the quinoa and coconut in the batter. The pancakes include of course quinoa and coconut and also blue berries pecans, grilled banana and strawberries. It's a good portion and they're filling without leaving you in a sugar coma. They also come with a fruit cup which goes well with the pancakes. Service was fast and friendly here. Add an Irish coffee and you've got yourself a breakfast that's worth a try before a soccer game. I enjoyed my meal here and will come back.

    The Lumberjack Breakfast leaves you wanting more. It's your classic diner meal with pancakes, eggs, potatoes and meat, but by the end, I wanted more -- a testament to both the quality and portion size. Every bite was fantastic, but I wish the pancakes were larger and there was a little more of everything. Other than the portion size, everything else, from the service to the ambiance to the variety on the menu, was great.

    Country scrambler is a symphony of joy for your taste buds. Fast service and nice friendly staff. Ability to serve small or large groups with ease. Large menu with variety so everyone can find something to their taste Milkshake made with real ice cream. Delicious all around

    Organic Bison Huevos Rancheros

    Super good food, super good environment, and nice and clean. Friendly staff and reasonable pricing. Can't ask for more. They have a really big focus on organic and that is great. For breakfast I had organic bison hobos rancheros. Super awesome dish.

    One of my favorite places to eat in the DMV. This location is nice and new and across the Washington Nationals Ball park so a really cool vibe. Service was absolutely fantastic, quick and friendly. The upstairs area was really nice and outdoor seating was available as well. Food was hot , fresh and large portions. I am stuffed !

    "Au Jus"
    Marlo J.

    I have to say that this definitely could've been a better experience. I visited with a friend. We both ordered the mimosa flight. I selected 2 tropical, mango, and watermelon cucumber. - The tropical mimosa was not what either of us expected. I twas thick and full of mint shreds. The combination made it difficult to drink. It reminded us of a bloody mary, in a way. -The mango was decent. -The watermelon cucumber was okay. I ordered the crabcake melt that came with a lobster jus and fries. The crab cake was very herbaceous. It was borderline too much. It didn't leave much for it to taste like crab. When the plate came out, the sandwich was cold. Mind you, there were only 5 guests in the restaurant, including myself and my friend. In addition to the sandwich being cold, the lobster "jus" was not good at all. It had obviously been sitting for a minute because it developed a film on top. When I brought it to the attention of the waiter, he took my plate. We watched him walk my plate behind the counter and put the bowl of sauce into the microwave. Ew. When he returned, we asked if I could receive a new bowl reheated properly, as opposed to him reheating that bowl. He advised us that they make the sauce in the morning and just microwave it anyway. Then my friend's fried egg was like rubber. I wonder if that was reheated as well. I was like yeaaaa I guess it is a diner. Maybe just stick to the typical breakfast foods here.

    My husband and I are regulars for dine in and take out. My husband can't get enough of the short rib burger, but lots of dishes are great here. I love all the crab dishes: crab cake platter, crab pasta, crab melt sandwich, and crab cake Benedict. Really good quality and such a reasonable price. I also love the club sandwich and the vegan cauliflower pasta. We usually split an Oreo milkshake. The adult milkshakes are HUGE! Most stuff is generous in size here. Dog friendly patio and kid-friendly throughout. My sisters's kids loved their breakfast today. We also finally tried some breakfast items ourselves. The caramel French toast and the red, white, and blue French toast are both amazing!!!!! Join eat well do well, for lots of great promos. Good for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free dining. Happy hour daily until 9pm! Always friendly servers.

We were seated almost immediately which was great but it took the waiter 15 min to come to our table and the restaurant wasn't really crowded. Once he came to our table we gave him our order for drinks. He did not offer water so we asked for water. It took approximately 25 min to receive our drinks and still no water. He finally brought the water when I asked a second time. While we were waiting for our drinks he was steadily walking around aimlessly until he realized we did not receive our drinks. After delivering our drinks we were finally able to order our food. Our food came out in a decent time however, I was so annoyed by this point. For our entrees we ordered the Cajun salmon with grits and the Cajun pasta with chicken and salmon. The Cajun salmon was good but they gave a small portion in ratio of the amount of grits given. The grits were a bit cold and could have used some more seasoning. The Cajun pasta with chicken and salmon was delicious but could have been hotter as well. For drinks we ordered the pineapple Hennessy and whisky margarita. The Pineapple Hennessy was delicious. The margarita could have been stronger and less sweet. Overall, it was decent experience. Not sure if I will return though. Cheers!

Its warm, clean design makes it quite welcoming for enjoying avocado toast with smoked salmon, which brings one to a place of spiritual oneness. With white walls, natural wood-grain tables and countertops, Toastique's design radiates minimalist, urban style while remaining inviting. Any time I have been there, the wait times have been stress-free, and the queues move quickly. Food-wise, you can't go wrong with their avocado toast with smoked salmon. With a generous portion of smoked salmon on top of avocado mash, on perfectly toasted sourdough bread, creating a place of tremendous well-being. The cucumbers, marinated tomatoes, red onion, capers, and a sprinkle of microgreens make for a fully satisfying meal without feeling like you are overdoing it with your life choices. Drink-wise, I always go for cold brew and the cold brew never lets me down there. Last time, they had a peanut-butter cold brew and a black cherry one, both of which were magical.

We hoped to find a place that offered decaf coffee since it was late in the day, but really wanted something warm since it was a bit chilly outside. Unfortunately, this location of Toastique does not offer decaf - they only have a single hopper for their coffee, so it is not an offering. We were going to find another place, however, they said how about a hot chocolate or a tea. My friend is vegan and inquired if their hot cocoa was vegan, as most places have dairy in the chocolate. The cashier went to look at the chocolate syrup and also had another person look at it to verify it's vegan. My friend ordered a hot chocolate with oat milk. Even though it was busy, we only waited about 5 minutes for her drink. We appreciated the effort to double check it was vegan, though I do wish they had decaf options.
