What People Are Saying About Silk City

In Short – This boisterous spot is classic Americana, with its sleek, silver art-deco exterior accented by the glow of neon. Patrons sitting at the long counter sip coffee and stare at tempting desserts within glass cabinets. Each booth is installed with an individual Seeburg Wall-o-Matic offering 25-cent access to the jukebox's rare 45s. The menu features standard breakfast fare, meat loaf, turkey clubs and burgers, as well as atypical fare like spicy jerk chicken and eggplant sandwiches.

Great Night Spot

by josef27

Me, my girlfriend and my friend just went to Silk City for the first time tonight. It was really cool, I deffinitely recommend it. My friend and I had burgers, which were excellent, and my girlfriend had the fries which were pretty great too. It has a fun grungy atmosphere, being a small diner in Nothern Liberties. Check it out, it's open 24 hours on the weekends and til midnight on weeknights.

Pros: grungy atmoshpere, fries, burgers
Cons: none if you dont mind, parking on spring, garden st.

The French Toat Rocks!

by rscerullo

My husband and I go every weekend. The food is typical diner fare which is fine by me but what keeps us coming back is the DRAMA! Its so much fun to watch the wait staff interact with each other. They're hilarious. Food AND entertainment...cant beat it! I love Silk City...
