In the first 15 minutes, I witnessed a few kitchen mishaps (like dropped plates), cooks who were so overwhelmed they had to slow down the seating, and locals chatting with the staff about upcoming events. I genuinely felt at home here, and the food was simply fantastic and reasonably priced—where else can you find this anymore? Well, you'll find it at the Tastee Diner.
The coffee was excellent, and the waitstaff was friendly and engaging. The food might not be the healthiest choice, but you'll definitely leave with a smile! I opted for steak and over-easy eggs with a side of hash browns instead of a yogurt fruit parfait. They do have healthier options, but let’s be honest—it’s a diner, and...
This restaurant was a fixture in the Silver Spring I grew up in. I remember when they moved it from its location on Georgia Ave, to make way for the Discovery building many years ago. Well, Discovery is gone and Tastee Diner is still there, and that should tell you everything you need to get an incredible breakfast (or lunch or dinner)! This is old school food though, You are not going to find gourmet pancakes or other frilly stuff like that. What you will get is great eggs made to order, pancakes the way you mom made them, and SCRAPPLE! Yes, I said SCRAPPLE I am a proud lover of that mystery slice of pork meat made from that noble animal, and they make it just right.
The service was wonderful, helpful friendly staff. Food taste okay, I ordered the veggie omelet, home fries, water, and coffee. I enjoyed listening to music of my choice during the wait for my food which was not long. The view is great, nice area. Clean restaurant. I will visit again for the overall experience and great customer service... will order something different next time.
A gem, one of very few remaining authentic old-school diners in the area. Informal. Great for groups, families or solo dining, serving up breakfast, lunch and dinner (and plenty of coffee) from early morning to late at night. Extremely affordable, too. Parking: Plenty of for-pay street parking and more in the garage across the street. Free on weekends).

This is not the 'upbeat 50 's jukebox joint '. It is delicious, helpful and a pivotal jewel of the community. Breakfast and dinner is great. 'Old Reliable ' remains the place to go for 1st dates and small reunions for lifetime friendships alike.
Really good diner food. Everything was pretty basic for a diner, but I love diners so this hot the spot for me. Biscuits were a bit toasty, but they still tasted really good.
Average experience. I had hoped for a more classic diner with better food, but I was let down by the pancakes. On the bright side, the eggs and bacon were tasty.
We visited Tastee Diner after an evening of exploring the monuments in DC and really enjoyed the nostalgic experience of eating in a classic, old-school diner.

We were in town for parent’s weekend and this place was perfect for Sunday breakfast. Classic diner food. Service excellent and the food great.
Avoid this place! The food is far from tasty, and the wait times are excessively long.
