Great diner feel in a great location. Have been here twice and can say the serves and food met expectations. Drinks were also good and had a good variety. Overall it is a great place to come weather it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

The food was delicious, the staff were inviting and friendly, we went late but I think our waiter could have used a little help. Atmosphere was good, and the cocktails were 👌 perfect! We enjoyed our visit

Silver Diner is one of my favorite spots that I visit a lot for breakfast and lunch. Great atmosphere.
I love their breakfast and lunch menu.
Server: Shiva is always very helpful. I like to sit in a booth by the window. It’s a great view by the Nationals Stadium. My favorite beverage is the watermelon mint lemonade. I usually order the cheeseburger with the sweet potato fries and dessert, the apple pie.
