Always a favorite

by Rontu827

Everything on the menu is good! Order anything, and you'll probably like it. The wings are excellent. The chocolate bread pudding is definitely worth ordering, but be advised- they give you a lot. Waitstafff service is generally good, and they'll be happy to recommend something on the menu. The atmosphere is retro-pop-modern, with an exciting club at night. I always have a great time when I go with my friends!

  • Pros: Food, club, DJ Deejay are all great
  • Cons: They aren't open for breakfast.

Most amazing place in America's most gastronomically underrated town

by NinaBa

I was taken there by friends, two young locals , that explained to me, a New Yorker ,that Silk City would be the place to eat after 8, when everything is closed. It was spectacular. I paid 100$ for 3 of us including, drinks and a tip . God bless the food revolution that has taken place last decade and elevated simple dining into a new level. Everything was prepared to perfection, with familiar favorites as pork chops and meatloaf. Waitress was somehow hard to reach in not so busy place. That is the only negative remark.

I wonder how noone rated it yet, I have subscribed to this web site just to do so. It was that good.

  • Pros: open late, great food ,amazing vintage diner exterior and interior
  • Cons: needs faster waitres'

So glad they reopened...

by soccermom121

On a Friday night, we lucked out getting a booth at around 9:00p.m. The music was 80's pop and the service was friendly and prompt. I had the lentil burger which was very good and we split the buffalo chicken salad. Tastey! It's good to know that Silk City is back because Bar at North Third is getting more and more packed. They both have similiar menus.

  • Pros: Having another bar/restaurant in No' Libs is a bonus
  • Cons: sometimes too packed to get a table
