It’s the silver diner - Edit
One of my favorite chains that I can take coworkers or family members to and reliably have vegan options. This location does not disappoint either.

Phenomenal, helpful server - Edit
My husband chose the oat milk pancakes. I chose the vegan breakfast taco. Both were very good. I wish there were three breakfast tacos instead of two with a salad. Didn’t want salad for breakfast Coffee was very good. Julie S (our server)was phenomenal and quite helpful. Definitely will return.

Delicious vegan food - Edit
Very impressed with how seriously Silver Diner has embraced vegan and vegetarian food. Very clearly and positively labeled items in every category. The oat milk protein pancakes are amazing - made with blueberries and pistachios!

Date night during the week - Edit
Daniel loves this place because of their wide variety of gluten-free and vegan dishes. We shared the hummus, and Daniel had the Thai Cauliflower Quinoa Pasta. (It looked fantastic, and I would have loved a bite, but it had pistachios in it, and I’m allergic! 😡) Silver Diner never disappoints.

Delicious Eggs Bene !! - Edit
We went to the Silver Diner here in Frederick for the first time and it was a great experience! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating! Loved the diner feel too and everything was very clean!
Read moreAll three of us literally got the ‘Just Egg Benedict’ and my gods…all three of us LOVED it ❤️!!! The flavors were on point and one of us that has had hollandaise sauce in the past before going vegan said that it literally tasted JUST like it! I also got a side of sausage to share with everyone since when I asked they said they make all their substitutes, so the bacon and sausage are all made and not store bought which is something I LOVE to try since yanno, we can just buy beyond sausage! Haha The meal also usually comes with a side of fruit but when asked they were able to substitute the home fries for us, which we did make sure they were vegan beforehand and it was confirmed it’s just not confirmed on the menu!! Definitely get those potatoes so you can use them to sop up that nice sauce afterwards 😝 also the portion is LARGE and will fill you up !! Yum yum! 🌱

Pros: Quite a few vegan options with seasonal ones too, Decent prices for the portion you get, Makes a lot of their own vegan substitutes!!!
Cons: Not entirely vegan but still ALOT of options!

Not too bad for a diner - Edit
Most diners are going to hit me as unhealthy and unlikely to have any decent food for me to eat. Silver Diner changes that expectation.
Read moreNice choices for veg*ns that are clearly marked on the menu, and to be sure, they have an allergens list to confirm that veg*n means veg*n.
They have some brekkie and brunch choices that include Just Egg and oatmeal pancakes, so that's nice! There's also grits, oatmeal, tempeh bacon, veggie sausage and home fries.
For lunch and dinner, order up some pineapple basil stir fry noodles or a warm roasted veggie salad. Both were delicious. Add some chili to warm you up. There are also a few more heartier options like a brown rice tofu bowl, beyond meatballs Mac n cheese and lentil and tofu dish. They have plenty of sides that you can mix together for a full meal like sweet potato fries, southwest quinoa, edamame, garlic spinach, brown rice, French fries or roasted veggies. Plenty to choose from!
The prices are a little high, but it's local and makes allergens clear, so, it's ok!
I'd go here again if someone wanted to join me. Yum!
Pros: Allergen menu, Vegan friendly, Just Egg and Beyond Meat options
Cons: Has lots of non-veg items

They're Trying - Edit
This is definitely the place to go when you're dining with picky omnis who prefer the chain restaurant feel. It's nice enough that you have plenty of options - and it doesn't feel quite as stale as The Olive Garden or something similar. I wouldn't go here on my own - except maybe to get some fries - but this place is nice for when I need to eat in a group setting.
Read morePros: Fries
Cons: Serves Animal Products

Surprising options! - Edit
I went here recently with my partner and his parents. it's usually difficult to find somewhere to eat that everyone is happy, but this place hit the spot! Of course the carnivores were pleased, but I found so many Vegan options that I had a hard time deciding which to get! I ended up trying the Vegan Chili & the roasted veggie salad. Both great! The salad was enormous. They also have vegan milkshake options that I was too full for. I will absolutely be back though! Thanks!
Read morePros: friendly staff, good options, fun diner atmosphere
Cons: a little expensive (worth it though)
