Chasin' Tails - Arlington

Absolutely incredible! I never realized crab legs could taste this fantastic.

We may have made an unfortunate choice by ordering the lobster with garlic noodles. Both dishes were overcooked. The noodles were clumped together and overly greasy. While the lobster was quite large (at least 1.5 lbs) and tasted good, I wouldn’t recommend pairing it with the garlic noodles again. The service was somewhat odd; although the server was pleasant, our appetizers arrived at the same time as our main course, leaving the grilled oysters—while tasty—cold. We also had to ask for lobster bibs after noticing other tables had them, and we were not provided with a bowl for lobster shells. Instead, we used a bowl that belonged to another diner who happened to be eating crawfish (which she claimed was excellent). Overall, I don’t think we’ll be returning anytime soon.

For breakfast, I opted for the Burrata Shakshuka, my husband went with the Oat Milk Protein Pancakes, and we shared the Apple Pie Stuffed French Toast. The shakshuka was delicious, and I really enjoyed the Naan that came with it. However, I felt the initial serving of Naan wasn’t enough, so I ordered extra for an additional cost, but it was well worth it. The protein pancakes were surprisingly flavorful and delightful, even for someone like me who isn't usually a fan of protein-based carbs. The French Toast was good, but I wouldn't exactly call it stuffed since it just had some apple pie filling on top. Regardless, it was still tasty. Overall, I love Silver Diner, and this location has quickly become my favorite. I will definitely return to try more items from their menu!

Very nice waiter. Good dip fried calamari. Dried out previously frozen mussels. Concrete floor makes for a noisy atmosphere, which younger generation seems to favour around D. C.

Food is amazing, the ambiance is amazing and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. We loved our time here and we will return. I also love that they offer parking discounts (free)
