The Franconia-Springfield station is the end of the Blue Line in the Mixing Bowl area of Central Springfield. The King Street stop is closer to Old Town which has tons of fabulous non-chain restaurants of all specialties: seafood, Italian. Personally, I would go to Tysons to eat. It's not around the corner but it is worth the trip.

There is a Silver Diner relatively close to the F-S station on Old Keene Mill/Franconia near the Springfield Mall. Central Springfield/Franconia is somewhat of a blighted area that needs a complete rehab. There is violent crime and gang activity in that immediate vicinity.

I think Silver Diner is a local chain as I can think of several of them in the area. Murphy's IS good.
