We arrived during a Saturday morning rush but were able to walk right in and get a seat at the counter. Our server, Uncle Vinnie gave us excellent service with a smile! This retro diner was a delight to visit. I loved their menu full of healthy options. They are known for fresh and local cuisine. I ordered the California... More

We've eaten here a number of times and always come away satisfied -- and stuffed! The portions, especially if ordering from the dinner menu, are huge. The food is always excellent (and the new menu seems to have even improved it), and the service is very friendly and helpful. Everyone from the manager to the servers makes you feel at... More

If there is a line, don't worry it will move with a good pace. The service is always great and the food is decent for the price.

The menu has changed (alot) and the selections are probably too varied for them to do any of them really well. Not the typical diner fare, and a bit too innovative with some of the choices. (salads come with their version of the 'right' dressing, not to my liking.

I love Silver Diner but especially for breakfast. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Try the to go or curb side service sometime if you live in the area.

I had breakfast at the Silver Diner. The food was greasy (as diner food should be), plentiful (ditto) and the atmosphere of laminated tables, bare floors and counter along with miniature jukeboxes at every table was quite authentic. The approach to the restaurant is a little tricky as it lies at the intersection of two major roads (West Ox and... More

This place takes you back in time when diners were the rage. Very nostalgic atmosphere and great food. The food choices are very wide range and good to boot!

Mashed Potatoes and Gravy and a side of corn. The potatoes were great, however the corn was slightly overcooked. Our table also had breakfast foods and a turkey platter, chicken... More

Silver Diner is a great place to go with kids! The food is fresh and much of it is local; the kids' menu is varied and excellent. The atmosphere--an updated 50's diner--is fun...and on our many visits, the service has been very good and accommodating for children. (Lots of extra napkins, kids' drinks served immediately, crayons and game placemats provided,... More
