Silver Diner

Subtly nestled into an unassuming shopping center about 40 minutes outside Washington, D.C. and 7 minutes north of Dulles Airport is the best breakfast you will find anywhere within a day’s drive. You truly cannot go wrong at Joe’s Cafe. For breakfast you can choose anything in an impressive array of waffles, pancakes, and other similar things. My personal favorite is the French Toast. Again, there is no wrong answer. The eggs are beautifully prepared, scrambled or otherwise. The bacon and sausage are excellent. The hash browns are to die for. The fruit is fresh. If you’re not in the mood for breakfast, you can choose from a diverse menu of lunch options. The South of the Border section of the menu is phenomenal. I really have nothing negative to say or even constructive criticism. Everything about Joe’s is perfect. The aforementioned food always hits the spot, the atmosphere is delightful, and the people who work there are great at their jobs but even better people. Rami, Helen, Daniela, Jasmine, Jackie, Jenny, Jamie, Maria, Manuel, and everyone else I haven’t named — you guys are the best!

Absolutely amazing! Definitely more on the older side for the atmosphere but it’s homey and the service makes you feel really comfortable. All of the waitresses were polite, positive, and helpful. I enjoyed the experience and the cheeseburger is flavorful and a great size to fill you up. Will definitely be returning.🤩

I have been coming here for over 2 years. Everytime I come to eat all the ladies are always in the best mood and do there best to attend you. The owner is very friendly and kind and always comes to check on you. Defiantly family place. Food is delicious reminds me of my NY breakfast. Will always come back for more.

Better than any IHOP or silver diner. Cheaper, YUMMIER, and family run <3 My friend got the 2 French toast meal and I got the chorizo con heuvos (got white toast instead of tortilla). They butter their toast so well. Also my friend is a coffee fanatic and says their coffee is perfect :) two cream, one splenda = bliss Service is always spot on. Waiters don’t rush you and actually smile and look at you. Our server was Jackie S but honestly Everyone who works here is so friendly and warm. Also when we left everyone (even the cook) said bye 🥲💙

I went here for a work lunch. It was my first time visiting and I was very pleased with the atmosphere, food and service. The restaurant feels like an old fashioned diner. The chairs are coated in leather(pleather? vinyl?) with big studs that just give them this aged feel. The menu is large in a reasonable way and everyone that worked there and ate there seemed as if they wanted to be there. The staff was happy and relaxed. I didn't get the feeling that they are kept on edge by vicious management. I liked that but it was not so casual as to be uncomfortable. The food came out fast and it was hot and tasty. The portion sizes were good and the fries were extra crispy and excellent. I got a burger as it is a baseline for me. It wasn't bad and I'll start to explore the rest of the menu. My coworker got a breakfast dish. They serve breakfast all day it seems. For those that like that, the portions looked large and properly cooked to order. I'm one of the few people I know who dislikes breakfast food and I was pleased to have plenty of other options.

Great family-friendly brunch spot! This restaurant may be small, but it has a big heart. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, and the owner goes out of his way to make sure everyone has a great time. The food is also delicious and reasonably priced. My favorite dish was the veggie omelet with turkey sausage, but everything on the menu was yummy. Overall, this is a great place to go for brunch with your family. The kids will love the friendly atmosphere and delicious food, and you'll appreciate the reasonable prices and great service. They also have good parking options and a diaper changing station in one of the washrooms, making it a convenient choice for families with young children.

As someone said to us, and we agree, it is the closest thing we've come to real Jersey diner-type food and service. The staff (cooking and wait) is quick, and attentive to coffee cup fills. The food is tasty and done well. For example, I love their grits. They're not a glommy ball a lot of other restaurants serve. The french toast tastes the way french toast should taste on it's own - not dressed up with additive flavours and toppings, and is a good thickness. Sausage comes in links or patties, cooked just right; and my husband loves the steak and eggs. We have yet to eat anything other than breakfast, but with the number of regulars the staff recognize and greet like family, I think it is safe to say everything is done well here. The prices are good and you will probably wait in line. (We have the three days in a row we have been here) But it moves fast, and it is worth the wait. This is definitely our favourite place for at least breakfast. 👍😊👍
