Stopped in for brunch and though the restaurant wasn't even half full the service took forever and my pancakes weren't cooked all the way through. I would try again at dinner in the future but won't go out of my way to come here again.

The outdoor patio is comfy even in chilly weather, the food and drinks are tasty, and the service is good. The prices are a bit high, but that's kinda par for the course and not exclusive to this venue.Vegetarian options: Not too many veggie items to choose from, but more than one or two.

I've been coming here for 10 years and Silk City is consistently 5 star in my books! We love the garden and regardless of when you come summer or winter, the vibes are immaculate, servers are fun and food is delicious. We brought our out of town friends here on a Saturday and the agreed it was one of the better dining experiences they've had. We will continue to be loyal patrons here!

My friend experienced racism here . Be careful who you give your money too . These people will smile in your face then follow you to your car snd tell you not to come back based off the color of your skin

My friend told me how they treated her . Based off the rest of the 1 start reviews this location isn’t for people of color because they will just be mistreated.

The food is great there, silk city was me and my wife favorite spot until last week Friday, me and my wife have been going there for some time, and it’s very disturbing and unprofessional how a employee or the manager followed me and my wife to the car aggressively saying never to come back, we was in shocked because we paid for the food. I don’t know if that was a racial thing or he was having a bad day but that’s not how to treat loyal customers.

I love this place .i have been going here since they have opened . After today will never return sadly . I paid and went to my car . A bald guy with a long beard followed me to my car and asked why I didn't tip and to never come back . I paid $122 for my food so I wasn't able to tip but this guy was super rude . I never saw him before . He was definitely racist , I don't see him following a white person to there car and asking them why they didn't tip and then telling them to never come back as if we didn't just spent $122 . Never coming back here and will be posting this incident on TikTok

had some wings they were overcooked and hard as well the music they played was horrendous
Great food, service and ambiance! One of my family's favorite places to go! The Thai chicken wings and cheese steak appetizer are amazing! This is a must try when in Philly

Love the vibes in their garden area! Great place for big groups or small groups. Food is not bad, but not AMAZING. Service is good too! Ive had he crispy brussel sprouts, the empanadas, and their crispy chicken sandwich. All I would say are typical for a bar food type of place. I would return here for the vibes. In the evenings on the weekend it becomes a club and theres always a long line. Havent been to those but the music sounds good!

The food was sooooo good! Took my parents for a birthday brunch and we all had a good time. They have a liquor license so we were able to get a bottle of bubbly for mimosas all around. We had steak and eggs and shrimp and grits. No complaints at all! Service was good, staff is very attentive and friendly. The outside was warm and calm despite the cold and windy conditions. We will be going back.
