Silver Diner

I’ve been to this place twice now and it’s really just because I am usually staying in a hotel, very nearby and going here is convenient. The food is just decent, not great and not bad. The prices aren’t that great. I feel like you would get the same quality of food for a better price at many other diner type restaurants. And the service is nothing to write home about. Take out process is kinda slow, and the staff inside (cooks) are far from professional. Just not a very good feel here and if it wasn’t located so close to me I probably never would have gone.

Waitress was slow. While waiting for appetizers another table where people were just seated were brought food the same time as us. The food was ok. But not good. Had arrived there 2 hours before closing but does that mean my burger sliders should arrive lukewarm? Bun on 2^nd & 3^rd slider was hard or stale after long trip from nyc to here & just dropping luggage at hotel nearby i had no more energy to complain about the waitress the kitchen staff or whatever else was going to go wrong. When the bill came and I paid for my meal waitress had nerve to snatch money from my hand as I proceeded to pay the bill. The next time someone tells me a place is not worth dining at… I will listen.

We just came back from Silver Dinner… it was excellent as always is!
Never get disappointed with this place… the only thing I would say is that we feel like they are pushing you to go… we like to have meals and stay for a while! We are not in a hurry…
Even though, this is my favorite place to eat.

Love the emphasis on local ingredients here, and the inventive menu offerings. Their huevos rancheros — both the bison and the vegetarian — are awesome. Coffee is delicious and strong, not the cheapest at $ 3/​cup but it’s sustainable and fair trade. The giant milkshakes are insanely delicious, definitely enough for two people.

Love the interior and the service was nice enough (seemed super forced but atleast they weren’t being rude), but the food looked AND tasted like they put a TV dinner on a plate. :(That would be okay if I was spending like $ 10, but it came out to $ 50 for two people. (Why is a tiny milkshake $ 7?)
My suggestion is to work on food presentation, taste, and portion size because it was tiny.
My boyfriend says «Lower the prices. Not coming back»

Came today for brunch w boys. Great pancakes and waiter was very helpful by putting in kids order first. Got sides of eggs and turkey bacon. Omelette with shrooms, cheese, tomatoes and avocado. However came w guacamole not fresh avos.
Kids were happy so will be back again.
Menu is huge and a bit overpriced for what u get.

Silver Diner is actually REALLY GOOD. Now, granted I love comfort food and classic American dishes, but after a recent visit to the doctor, I have to be more conscious about my cholesterol and my consumption of meat, sugar, oils, dairy and carbs. When my mom told me this was where we were meeting to have a pre-​show dinner before going to Innsbrook last Wednesday, needless to say I was less than thrilled.
I’ve had their meatloaf and a burger or two here before, but this was the first time I’ve ordered anything with my health in mind. The waitress was extremely accommodating, and their menu is actually designed for these exact situations, claiming to be be «flexatarian», or accommodating to all diets. So I ordered a black bean burger and guacamole without the bun and sweet potato fries instead of steak fries. The meal was delicious, and filled me up fine without making me feel full or bloated. I’ll definitely have to come back, seeing how many things can be substituted or replaced with healthier, greener options. B+

I was eating my dish; which was black bean chicken quesadilla and unbeknownst to me, there was black short hair all in it. by the time I realized it and showed the waitress, they made me privy to the information, that it was way more hair in it then I saw!!!
I’m STILL GROSSED OUT. KITCHEN GUY HAD NO HAIR NET ON. The manager comped my meal and originally was going to take 10% off my boyfriend’s, and I kind of insisted that he comped both the meals… he gave me a certificate for one entrée to come back but I’m kind of scared to come back because of my experience that’s disgusting…
The staff is very friendly but it’s just the fact that they need to tighten up things a little bit, actually a lot!

This place never ceases to amaze me! How funny that each time my wife and I make a visit, we have the same waitress, who is awesome!
Anyways, this time I tried the Tomayto Tomahto Burger with bison as a substitute to beef. It was excellent and the dipping sauce for the fries was out of this world! I also tried the Goat Cheese Cheesecake, which was surprisingly tasty. I’m so in love with Goat cheese, but I never thought to have it on or in dessert. It was smooth with a hint of lemon and the blueberries on top was great to complement the richness of the cheesecake.
Always recommend!

Silver Diner is my favorite restaurant in RVA! With a diverse range of options on the menu, there’s something for everyone. There’s even a seasonal menu. As someone with food allergies, I highly appreciate the gluten-​free and vegan options. There’s even gluten-​free bread! Try a burger with a gluten-​free bun and a side of roasted veggies. Yum! You will be back.

This place had a fantastic array of options for my restaurant challenged family (one’s a vegan, two have varying food sensitivities)… gluten-​free options, healthier choices, etc — and all wrapped up with the charm of a classic diner, including jukeboxes at each table! We only had an overnight stay in the area, but went for two meals at this place — dinner the first day, and lunch the next day. Plus, the staff was incredibly friendly (plus, they looked like they all liked each other, too), and super-​gracious with our kids, who were a handful, to be sure.
Our food choices included brussel sprouts w/​lentils, sliders (beef and turkey), omelettes, fluffy quinoa pancakes (gluten-​free!), blt, sweet potato fries, etc. Everything was great!!!
At dinner, the kitchen had boo-​booed my dish, so they remade it fairly quickly, and our server removed it from our bill. We wouldn’t even have asked her to do so, but appreciated the gesture, and gave her a generous tip, as a compliment to her service and the integrity of the kitchen staff.
Now… all I wish was that we had one of these near me in the Piedmont Triad of NC!

There are a lot of regular breakfast and lunch items, plus mnay vegetarian, gluten-​free, low-​fat and healthy options available. Probably the most of any restaurant in this area! And the miilkshakes are some of the best around.

I ALWAYS have a good time at this place. Whether I’m flying solo or with company, the wait staff and good are always exceptional. I’m always greeted with a warm smile and the servers are very personable and professional. The good it’s always presented well and tastes equally delicious. Good prices, good food, good people… What more could you ask for?

Not sure how long this chain has been in the area, but this visit here was my fist ever.
I wanted breakfast and I didn’t want any fast food sandwich, I had my mind set on an omelet. So here we are…
The omelet, mimosa, and the service was awesome!
The set up was super cute too. I immediately felt the warm spirits of the employees present too.
There was no wait time to place a to go order. But while we waited for our meals, we decided to drink a mimosa. Soooo Yummmm! !
Our to go order was ready in no time.
We drove about 10 mins before we started to eat. The food was luke warm by then, but it was still worth it.
My first taste of the diner and I loved it!
I’d recommend you visit here soon. The menu looks extensive and has a lot of offerings.
Enjoy | Have fun :)

Love a good diner, and this place was amazing! It took a while to choose what to eat since they had stuff that’s not found in other diners. The pesto burger with goat cheese and roasted red peppers was one of the best burgers I’ve had, and the bun was perfect. The salted caramel pretzel sundae with maple cinnamon hit the spot. Everything looked great and the staff were extremely friendly.

The food is fine but the menu is now full of vegan and vegetarian offerings (catering to a whole new market it looks like, which is fine), but it is to the point that there was not that much left for regular breakfast. Plus, regular breakfast should not cost me $ 10-​$ 12 per person.
Also, I think they put too much sugar in their biscuit dough.
But the service is quite good.
Bottom line… if I am going to spend $ 30 on breakfast for 2, I am going to The Continental or the like.

After many visits I thought I should leave a review. Our waitress was very nice, the food was delicious and the prices very reasonable. If you are looking for a great kids menu, at a place that actually has food adults with enjoy I highly recommend you come here.

We stopped here while traveling back from Staunton Va on a Sunday evening. We drove all the way through Short Pump before seeing the Silver Diner and turning around. The place looked bright and cheerful with burgundy & white checkered floor tiles and burgundy colored vinyl booths. Our waitress was very nice and had a great attitude. My girl ordered the Warm Roadted Vegtable Salad with Roasted Chicken and I had the French Toast covered with Coconut with Eggs Over-​Easy and Maple Chicken Sausage. The meals were great ! Coffee was excellent ! A little pricey, but we’ll be stopping here again…

We decided to come hear mainly because of the $ 5 coupon we received when checking in to our hotel before the color run. I normally say that there is always something on the menu that will interest me but this time I was kind of meeh about everything. Not that it didn’t seem good, just not what I was in mood for. Eventually I did decide on the pesto burger with regular fries instead sweet potato fries. It turned out really really good. My husband had some hash of some kind and he really liked it too. I was pleased to see something else than burgers and hot dogs on the kids menu so we went for chicken and rice … hard to say if it was good being that she from time to time is a picky eater :-/
After dinner i had my eyes on a milkshake, a brownie latte milkshake… mmmm … bits of brownie, ice cream. sooo good. I was so full after but it was worth it.
I loved the décor and that it is a diner, the jukebox selection thing on every table is a super cool thing. Our waiter was attentive and the food came out fast. Overall a really good experience.

I love this place and my favorite waiter is Ms. Shirley. The Food is great, service is great and they strive for 100% customer satisfaction. I’ve never been here and been disappointed. Everything is fresh and served hot with a bright warm smile.
