Silver Spring Family Restaurant

I came to silver spring on a Sunday morning around 10 am and to my surprise didn’t even wait (maybe I missed the morning crowd today). I decided to order the cinnabun pancakes, a bacon and cheese omlet, home fries and a side of bacon. I’ll start with the omlet, the eggs were cooked nicely and they use 3 so the omlet turns out rather large, they put a nice amount of bacon. It’s your typical omlet, very good but nothing unique or special here. The cinnabun pancakes is what set this meal apart. 3 large pancakes for 7.15, they are swirled just like a cinnabun and have gooey cinnamon/​sugar in the crevices, just outstanding. They top it off with a drizzle of white cinnamon bun type icing and overall the pancakes are extremely fluffy and probably the best pancakes I’ve ever had. If you’re in the area this is a good place to stop by for breakfast, the service was quick and there seemed to be plenty of seating.

Nice atmosphere, is obviously a local favorite. We tried it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We luckily got there at the right time, and only had a short wait to be seated on a busy Saturday morning (about 10 minutes). The wait can be quite a bit longer if you get there at other times.
We were seated by a friendly hostess, and our server was excellent. She chatted and joked – but not in excess, and her timing and expertise was right-​on.
The food was good to not-​so-​hot. My husband ordered a cheese omelet with mushrooms and sausage, and said it was delicious. The home fries were tasty and crispy, as requested. On the other hand, I ordered the creamed chipped beef. I realize this can be a hit-​or-​miss breakfast item – but thought I’d take a chance here, since my craving for this had been building for some time, and I had a hunch it was likely to be good here. Wrong. It arrived on the chilly side, and nearly solidified… WAY overly thickened. It was edible, but not much beyond that. I did not complain, but vowed not to EVER order this «delight» again. (I have since had it elsewhere, where it was delicious! Review pending :-))
The weirdest thing here – and only unpleasantness – was the odd attitude that verged (?) on ill will that the main hostess demonstrated toward my husband. An older woman, attractively dressed; she seemed to be someone who had worked there for a while, as she greeted many of the regulars who entered. But, as we were being seated and walked by where she standing behind the counter near the register, she caught my husband’s eye and GLARED at him – for what reason neither of us has a clue. Perhaps she had him confused with someone else? (We are not originally from this area, have never set foot in this restaurant before, nor encountered this woman anywhere.) Imagination? No. Our hunch was confirmed when she made the rounds in the area in which we were seated, refilling coffee from a pot to EVERY table in our vicinity – with the single, notable exception of OURS. .
What gives? I don’t know if she’s always there – sure hope not! At this point, I’m hesitant to return, and it’s unlikely we will.

When you walk in they treat you like family. Cute atmosphere. Good cooking. Great breakfast and they have wifi. They want to please you and it shows! If you get there on the weekend and there is a line, don’t panic it goes quickly. 10 minutes at the most. Best gyros around.

My party of five waited over 45 minutes for a table and never got one. Service was awful and staff was extremely rude and unorganized. They didn’t take names for the waiting, only size of the party. The older lady (owner?) was so mean. NEVER go there again.

We were at Spooky Nook for a field hockey tournament and were looking for a good place to eat with the team. Great home cooked meals. Extremely friendly service. Would go back. Locals frequent.

Had dinner here with the family and it was okay. The food wasn’t spectacular but it was good and definitely home cooked. We ordered the zucchini fries think they’d be baked or somewhat healthy but they were cooked like mozzarella sticks an not good at all. The salad was huge chunks of lettuce and tomato. My crab cakes an my husbands burger were both good. The place is adorable and feels very homey. Our waitress was very melancholy but adequate. It seems like breakfast may be this places ‘thing’ more than lunch. Overall, it was an average home cooked meal.

I feel like the Waffle House on Lincoln highway is much less «blah» way more positive energy then the one on dillerville road. I do feel like they go through employees like you go through toilet paper though lol
Good food all and all

Very friendly staff, breakfast at 3 pm was amazing. Omelets served as big as your face!
We used the Unilocal online coupon for one appetizer with two entrée orders. Can’t imagine that we had two delicious meals, with an appetizer, and coffees, all for under $ 20.00.
We found Silver Springs Family Restaurant on Unilocal.
They could use a bigger sign :)
Highly recommended.

When we walked in it felt like a diner. They were very welcoming to our family of 5. Food was great, everything tasted freshly made. I had a flank steak and it was perfect size and flavor. Sides were great, we tried mini potato pancakes and zucchini sticks. Price was good, service was better. This is a great find, a bit off the beaten tourist path but well worth seeking out.

Drench anything in butter and cheese and it should be tolerable to eat. This is the general sense I got after eating dinner with a party of 5 here this evening. I ordered the special flounder of the day which was heavily saturated in butter, oil, and cheese slathered on top of some sautéed spinach and chopped tomatoes. French onion soup was extremely salty and almost balsamic tasting. The relished beets tasted like they were definitely straight out of a can with some simple syrup mixed in and basil for an extra weird taste. Probably the best and only decent meal by far was my sons kids meal which was cheese quesadillas — pretty hard to mess up. The fries for his side looked like cardboard. The 2^nd star is for the chocolate ice cream that came with his meal… But ice cream is also pretty hard to screw up. Prices were at least decent. Canned vegetables and cardboard fries aren’t expensive.

Silver spring is one of our regular stops. The staff is always friendly and the food is great diner type of food. They always have many specials or combinations to choose from. Of course as many diner type restaurants, breakfast is a specialty. With lots of big hearty Lancaster County type breakfast offerings. Their cinnamon swirl pancakes were unbelievable. But you have to have a real sweet tooth. Sometimes we get them just for dessert! My favorite Sunday noon lunch is roast turkey with mashed potatoes and filling. Yum!

Great food and great service! This is one of Lancaster county’s best places to eat!

Best breakfast in Lancaster county, by far! We’ve been enjoying this spot for years. I’d recommend trying out.

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this charming place on our way from Harrisburg to Lancaster. We love breakfast and are always looking for great places that have a friendly atmosphere, great food, and inexpensive prices. It’s exactly what we found here. We were probably the youngest in the crowd, but that meant that our meal wasn’t disturbed by crying children or yelling parents.
I highly recommend this place for the amazing breakfast foods. The portions are great for an inexpensive price. I had french toast and sausage, and my boyfriend tried the pumpkin pancakes. Both choices were incredible. We’re going back again to try the other breakfast options, but I have no doubt that satisfaction is guaranteed.

I’ve eaten here many times to know what to eat, but honestly, I do really only have one complaint about the place.
Now, usually I order the fried chicken here because the batter they use for it is really sweet, but the problem is the size of it! Seriously, why is the chicken so small in the first place? And as well, the size of some of the other things, like the Corn Nuggets. I love corn nuggets, but they only give you 5! This time though, I got the Country Fried Steak, which was ok, but not the best I’ve had, I think that goes to Bob Evans. It usually a nice place to eat though, and the food comes relatively fast.
If you want a good cooked meal, come here.

They have some great breakfast items here and the staff is usually very nice. Biggest problem is if you don’t get here before the church crowd does on Sunday you’ll have quite a wait. If you head here for breakfast I recommend the home made corned beef hash but trust me, that’s not the only thing that is worth a recommendation. If you haven’t been here for breakfast yet, you need to try it.

Love this quaint, local diner especially for Breakfast!!! Come hungry because the food is great and the portions are large. My favorite is the George’s Special — yumm. However, it does get busy so be prepared for limited parking and perhaps a short wait. Definitely worth visiting.

Great place for breakfast. Has added some delicious choices in addition to time tested favorites. Well worth the drive.

If you’re old and have no taste buds, this is the place for you. The food is NOT good and overpriced. The staff is very friendly though.

One of our regular breakfast spots was closed so we decided to try Silver Spring for the first time. I wish we had tried it sooner. The food was awesome and the entire staff was super friendly and helpful. I ordered the Silver Spring omelet and my wife had a breakfast hoagie. The food came out really fast and the omelet was on par with some of the best I’ve had. Looking forward to going back to sample more of the menu.
