Silver went Bronze

The diner concept is a cool way to keep a dying trend alive.

They have several plant-based options, and they indicate vegan items with a leaf on the menu. We ordered the BBQ Beyond Burger, and the server asked if we wanted fries with it, and we said yes. However, after further discussion, she said it was vegan, but I wasn't gluten-free. The fries share the same fryer as meat. So we got a side of steamed vegetables. Also, the burger was very dry overall.

I ordered the vegan minty Oreo milkshake. I had high expectations for this, and the first couple of sips tasted really good, but then it got too rich, irritated my stomach, and I realized it was artificial mint syrup. I could not even finish it.

Next, I ordered the vegan oatmeal protein pancakes. They were tasty, but I forgot to ask them to leave out the pecans because my girlfriend is allergic. We did mention to the server that he was allergic to nuts; that's why I should not have the milkshake, and they would not modify it to use ice cream and oat milk.

When we ordered the pancakes (perhaps it just slipped the server's mind), she didn't mention there were nuts, and this was right after we mentioned no nuts, so it felt like she wasn't paying attention. Luckily, she didn't swallow any after taking a few bites when I realized there were pecans. Considering how allergic she is to pecans, I'm glad there was no reaction beyond a little tingling.

Clear vegan options on the menu

I was shocked to see that they have several vegan option on their menu, but when I saw the “eggs” benedict I just couldn’t believe it, in the US? openly thoughtful vegan options? After a week of only eating french fries I felt like I was finally eating something real and GOOD ! Tempeh “bacon”? period! They also have vegan pancakes, vegan milkshakes, vegan burger, entrees and other dishes.

Pros: Several vegan options, They sell wine

Solid Veg Breakfast

Stopped in for the Just Egg Benedict. Nice to find a solid vegan breakfast option with protein. Fresh and satisfying meal. Veg options are clearly labeled on menu. Good options for breakfast and lunch/dinner.

Good options

We tried the Eggs Benedict & the Brussel Farro with the caramel Cold Brew & the Mocha Milkshake.
The Eggs Benedict were very good but my favorite was the Farro. The sauce was delicious!
It was lovely to be able to have an actual meal at the airport.

Pros: Good options, Quick service

A hearty vegan breakfast in an airport?!?

I ordered coffee and the Just Egg Benedict, which also had pesto on the toast, and tempeh bacon scrambled with the just egg. It came with fruit but because I was tired and ravenous, i also ordered a side of breakfast potatoes with caramelized onion. I ended up having to ask for a box for the other half of my feast! And then i ordered a mocha oat milk shake since I was already in over my head - delicious! I will now plan a stopover at BWI whenever i can!

Good filling option

Tasty and filling breakfast tacos. I ordered the pancakes as well, but they accidentally gave me the regular pancakes instead of the vegan ones so I didn’t get to try them. I’d come back to try the pancakes if I ended up back in BWI.

Incredible pancakes

I absolutely did not believe this place existed til I ate breakfast here on a long layover.
Pancakes are incredible. But meh on the BBQ breakfast tacos.
Good coffee, plenty of oat milk provided as another reviewer said.
Not a lot of options for lunch/dinner - and they mark the Beyond patties as only vegetarian? But breakfast served all day. Wish I had room for a milkshake, they looked awesome. Maybe I'll go back before my connection...

Great options

I’ve eaten here several times when flying from BWI, and it’s always tasty. My go to items are the Brussels sprouts and pancakes. My only complaint is service can be slow sometimes (so make sure you’re not in a rush to make a flight!).

Pros: Tasty options, Clearly labeled options , Fair amount of options

Cons: Slow service sometimes

Surprisingly good diner for an airport!

When I think of Silver Diner, it takes me to midnight snacks as a teenager, not literally the best place to eat at BWI.

First, they had oat milk for the coffee (I feel like this should be a given at this point, but it definitely isn't). The menu included beyond tacos and avocado toasts, pretty decent ones too.

Service was quick and friendly, perfect for in and out before catching a flight :)

HOLY INCREDIBLENESS!!!!!!!!

Holy crap, this place had the most INCREDIBLE vegan food! I’ve never been happier I had a flight delay, that allowed me to sit down & eat at this phenomenal place!!! Made me want to move to Baltimore! Wish I’d been able to try all their vegan options, which are plentiful! I had theeee most delicious milkshake & pancakes I’ve ever eaten!

Wonderful service and decent vegan options

We were happy to find a sit down place with several vegan possibilities! Staff was kind and accommodating and gave us lots of oat milk for our coffee!
