Review Silk City Diner - Philadelphia

Ashli Giles
Went on tail end of happy hour (4-6) and sad easily seated at the bar and able to place food and drinks. The fries were an insane portion and Brussels were seasoned and crispy with a thick sauce. Drink options for happy hour were somewhat limited. James was excellent. The ambience was way cooler than expected. I’ve been here once before and it was a chill nightclub vibe. This place has multiple purposes. I’ll be back for brunch!

I really like this place! I had to take off one star because my food came out cold. 😏 My friends shrimp burger came out perfectly hot and it was delicious as well. The server took it back, brought me a new one, took it off the bill AND gave us a drink on the house! Great service!! Good drinks! The meal I ordered was the crab cake sliders and even the new ones were meh after all that. The cheesesteak egg rolls looked amazing. Definitely a cute and fun spot! I’ll go back again!

Stopped by for the first time for brunch on a Saturday (11-3) I would advise reservations (we came spur of the moment so no reservations) We arrived about 10 minutes before they opened at 11 am..and there were quite a few parties already waiting. We were able to get a table sitting outside for our party of 4 immediately. It was the perfect day for outdoor dining (even though it is covered) It got full VERY fast! Our server Jayson was great! The food came out super quick, correctly, and delicious. Our bill was $100 for 4 people (a 20% gratuity is added on) but worth it. Will be back soon!

This has been my favorite philly diner for over 20 years. I grew out of Philly so it's been 8 years since I was there. They enclosed the garden and made a heated patio which I loved. Great service and food still. The shrimp and grits there are the best!

Food was fresh. tasty. Great atmosphere. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Nice relaxing music to enjoy while eating. Noticed good vibes and lots of laughter throughout the joint. Will try again for sure.

While Silk City Diner got a good Meatloaf for Dinner. To me Silk City is better for the Brunch Menu. The Creator Seasonal Cocktail & I Need A Vacation Cocktail on point. The Fruit Cup, Thai Chili Wings, Chicken Salad & Chicken Empanadas 💯.

I really like this place because it’s a multi use space. You have the restaurant where the food is good, they have outdoor dining & they have a club attached. It was a good time the service could’ve been better & the food was on point per usual.

Knew — hoped, really — the minute I laid eyes on the place days after moving to the area, this was going to be one our regular spots, just please let the food be as good as the atmosphere. And phew! Better than we'd even hoped. But not only is the food well above average, but the vibe and energy of the place is even better when you settle in at a table there for awhile. Can't wait until we've tried everything on the menu! (will report back when we have)

This was pretty good chicken and waffles. It’s a unique take which is why it gets four stars, it’s drizzled in spicy honey and has a little kick. My server was very friendly. In the middle is some kind of lemon butter spread, I liked it. It’s worth a try. This place is also a club and I’ve had fun weekends here.

Silk City is great The atmosphere is fantastic. The food is delectable. I went there to see a live band and acoustically the place couldn’t be better people. They are really nice and you will definitely have a great time. I thought I would buy right now the drinks are reasonably priced The staff is very nice and accommodating myself and my wife really had a great time.

I had a beef omelet was good. Home fries were sitting on warmer way too long I had to request for a fresh batch which came out good. They automatically take it 20% gratuity for dine in our 10% for take out orders. So yes, I want fresh food!

This place is bang on and a fun spot. They could easily open earlier and do a ton more business. But I get also not wanting to do that if you're already busy. The waiter cheered on what we ordered which I thought was great.

This place is amazing, I ate here almost ten years and had the most amazing biscuits and gravy... i tried coming back for breakfast two weeks ago and found they are open 5pm on weekdays but on weekends you can have brunch starting at 11-3 then dinner. Now this time around there's no biscuits and gravy but the chicken and waffels-silk pancakes and- avocado toast knocked it out of the park!!!

Very cool atmosphere and vibe. I especially love the light up Halloween decor additions for this time of year. The turkey BLT was great! The fries were a bit over fried for my liking, though. Overall, a great experience and we would go back if we make it to Philly again

Stopped by for a Sunday brunch inside the diner. With the recent heat in Philly, I decided to not reserve a spot on the patio, but it is an option when making a reservation. Overall, this was a fun brunch spot with a few items that I didn't love. First, service was fairly slow. I would imagine they were short staffed, but it did take a good bit of time from being seated to being able to order. Next, drinks were tasty, but I would argue overpriced for the amount of drink received and how strong they were. Finally, in terms of food, the pancakes were excellent. However, I was not a fan of the almost chicken stock flavored gravy on the chicken and waffles. The flavor was odd, and the gravy made the waffles soft far quicker than normal. I would come back to give brunch another try, but it's a tough sell when there are other top tier brunch spots.

Really enjoyed the food and the ambiance of this place. I had the omelet and my lady the grilled cheese and soup. Both were absolutely delicious.
