You won’t feel like you’re in an airport when you escape inside BWI’s spacious Silver Diner. It’s huge by airport standards. The food is worth the visit. I started off with avocado toast as a (somewhat healthy) appetizer. It was a smooth spread on crunchy toast, and tasty. For an entree, the pickle brine fried chicken and Mac and cheese blew me away. The chicken was crispy outside, moist inside with a perfect hint of dill pickle flavor. The mac and cheese had a cheddar zing and a nice crunch of fried onion strings in top. The hidden surprise was a tasty bed of garlic-sauted kale underneath it all. The kale was cooked to perfection; bright green with just a little crunch. The wait staff was polite and attentive. This was a satisfying stop while I waited for my flight.
(4/30/2017) Was waiting for a Southwest flight on Pier A, which seems to be one of the less developed piers at BWI. Plenty of fast food options in the food court but the ersatz Silver Diner really the only option for sit down or a drink while waiting to join the cattle call. Really liked the fresher options on the classic diner menu. Am familiar with many of the farms they have listed on their menu. Got the Firefly Farms Goat Cheese Bruschetta,, was a pile of snowy white, moist, and mildly tangy chevre and a heaping serving of diced winter tomatoes (not from around these parts, it’s April in Maryland, yes, we have no tomatoes) with basil pesto and kind of way too much reduced balsamic (was a little drowned). I did enjoy all of the flavors together, and they did not skimp on the bread. I love the recent Brussels trend, got the Crispy Fried Brussels Sprouts, described as cinnamon chipotle seasoned, with dried apricots and cranberries, pecans (nut oils a touch old and beginning to turn), and southwest ranch (superfluous). Some of the sprouts cooked unevenly, some bright green and crunchy raw, some fried to a deep, dark, burnished crispness (love that part). I was well taken care of at the bar, food came at a reasonable pace, prices were fine, even for an airport bar (a double was $11). There really wasn’t too much diner-ish about the place except for the neon pink decor and a few familiar blue plate specials, but that didn’t seem to be why people were stopping in (a couple of other diners got a Chicken Caesar Salad, Turkey Chili, and Huevos Rancheros) and most people really seemed to just need a little respite from the weariness of travel. It was pretty open and welcoming when I was there.
