If you are looking for the "true diner experience" you want to go to the 
original Tastee Diner in Silver Spring, MD.  It's near the corner of Georgia 
Ave. & Colesville Rd (Rt. 29), by the Silver Spring Metro Station.

They have a decent menu and some of the best diner style food around 
(including Meatloaf).  I recommend their onion rings most especially.  
Otherwise, I haven't really found any others that are as consistantly good in 
the DC area.

Out in St. Louis, MO there is a chain of diners called Steak & Shake which 
are most excellent, with large, tasty portions and reasonable prices, if you 
ever get out that way.....
