This newly become hipster diner is fun, with it's new beer garden that is really funky. Saw the owner means a lot. Food is comfort and good real friendly staff and good prices. Live bands some night

Silk City is not only a great spot to grab some night-time munchies, it also has a great dance floor just feet away from the diner . Thursday and Saturday nights are the wildest. Read more

The pork and sweet potato empañadas were to die for! Cool and relaxing atmosphere . Not only popular because of DDD, but it's actually well liked by the locals.

Georgene

Have had fantastic specials and breakfasts here! For vegetable lovers: more choices please, with less salt and oil. The spinach last night was intensely salty and oily. And I love the flavor of salt!

Chelsea Norton

I swear by their brunch ! Fried green tomatoes are a must, whenever they are available. The shrimp and grits are almost like heaven. I have heard that the pulled pork hash is obnoxiously good.

Brendan Rastetter

You'll find some pretty amazing fried chicken and corn bread here. It was a complete surprise for me. A night of dancing , beers and their chicken will put a smile on your face.

Anne

Love Silk City . Great funky diner feel, fantastic food. Love the large backyard for dining al fresco . Good beer selection .

Daniel Gavin

Fried chicken , mashed potatoes and greens are covered in a little bit of honey whichis a game-changer. Their classic burger also great.

This typical looking diner serves up anything but standard brunch fare on the inside. Order the smothered chicken and waffles and a Pimms Cup : Pimms, fresh lime , ginger beer , cucumber and mint .

Silk City 's duck-confit spring rolls , pulled pork empanadas and shrimp-and-crab pot stickers made for crispy golden highlights in a 2008 episode of Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives.

The food is great. Chicken &waffles , eggs benedict , silk cakes are favs. We come here almost every weekend.

The Jaded Ruby is sooo good! It's like grapefruit juice with a surprise. Also the Bloody Mary is perfect too. You can't go wrong with either one first thing in the morning ;)

Amaya

Eat from their incredible menu outside on the awesome patio . Or do what we did and dance in the rain. :)

Justin Rooks

The music the food the atmosphere. I mean literally this place is everything!

Gloria M

The enclosed garden is magical! The heat lamps make it a toasty and beautiful spot for a fall dinner .

Philadelphia Magazine

There are those among us who would sooner die than drink inside Silk City , but we love sitting out in the beer garden . It’s always a friendly mix of people, and good for large groups.

If you're looking for a hip diner with a hipper menu and a place to dance the night away on a Saturday to indie, pop, rock & hip-hop without the cliche fist pumping crowd, than this is your spot.

Lakisha Maldonado

OMG! There Tai chicken wings , mac n cheese and fries with cheese and bacon ... sssooo delicious! Very good food..

Stacks

The mac and cheese was delicious! Waited a long time after ordering and the waitress comped our meal, which was nice . It was worth the wait anyway!

Brian Park

Great entree specials. Things to try: Salmon w/ RIsotto , Meatloaf , fish n chips . Brunch is also bomb.

Seonne B.

The Thai wings are love! If your a wing lover like myself try these!!

Ted H

Delicious higher end diner food . Service isn't awesome and it can get crowded , but food and beer are good.

Men's Health Mag

The gravy French fries taste even better with a local brew (try the Kenzinger), and they're delivered by girls with skirts so short they look like they're made with cocktail napkins.

B. Supreme-Hurtado

Drinks were mixed well . Spinach was delicious. Macaroni dish needs some more imagination. Flavor was bland and the center was dry. On the dance floor side, crowd was great. Bartenders were friendly

Awesome Outdoor Dining . Order a fresh limeade margarita , kick back, and marvel that you’re on a tropical island on an otherwise grim stretch of Spring Garden . Read more

Arnold J. Malerman, DDS

Great coffee & desserts . Heavy handed with hot peppers in/on appetizers & desserts . Not everyone a hot pepper fan, limiting available choices.

Chel Castel

This place is a 3 in one. Club/old-school diner/outdoor garden . A little gem for sure.

Stacy Kelley

Buttermilk Fried Chicken with honey , mashed potatoes and jalapeño corn muffin

Tristan Rhodeside

More of a diner themed bar , but the fried chicken is excellent as well as the coffee and pie .

Ahmie Becks

Fun atmosphere and great drink selection. Late night music makes for a dance party . Very crowded .

June Jones

Buttermilk fried chicken kind of night. Also the spicy chicken breast sandwhich was great last night.

Zach Kelfer

Awesome brunch so good and really cool vibe b

Amber Foster

Cold or hot... The soups are incredible! They are always very creative or traditional with spunk. ????

Bre Bonner

Great if you want a night of dancing . It can get a bit crowded though.

djdeejay

Every Saturday is a super fun & more fun dance party ! Leave your pretentious nature at the door and DANCE!!!

Mic Brown

Good food, nice atmosphere and hot waitresses

Amelia Feinstein

Edamame is very good and a nice treat. Homemade ice creams for dessert .

Sara Capritti

Relax out back in the "beer garden " - since it's summertime I highly recommend getting yourself a 19th hole (sweet tea vodka and silk 's homemade lemonade ).
