Good, cheap breakfast, nice portions, well-cooked. Can't ask for much more than that. Definitely a centerpiece of the neighborhood, it was packed to the gills when we were there.

Disappointed
Angela G.

I love their hot sausage egg and cheese on a kaiser roll. I switched up and got a hamburger egg and cheese. I assumed the hamburger would be homemade not a cheap flat burger. I suggest yall never order a burger.

fried chicken and waffles again. $7. chicken a little salty this time around.
Kathy L.

Absolutely delicious!!!! The staff is incredibly friendly and even though the place is cramped, it feels like home. I'm somewhat of a germaphobe but it all disappears once I'm in here. It's chaotic: Oil splashing everywhere, piles and piles of bacon sliding all over the griddle, waffle alarm going off. If you pay attention, they really skimp everywhere they can. The napkins are very basic, no real silverware, your sausage and bacon drip dries on the flimsiest napkins. But I don't care because the food is THAT good. Most of the people are take out regulars and that's what I did too. There's a dingy TV in the corner but I found watching the staff to be entertainment enough. Of course I got the fried chicken and waffles! Cinnamon, sugar, side of bacon. May the chicken and waffles never change because it was delicious. I had to wait a while since it was made fresh and then I had a 15 minute walk home. Waffle was basic but perfect with hot sauce and syrup. Chicken was crispy on the outside (even after the walk!) and very juicy on the inside. A little salty on the seasoning but nothing syrup and hot sauce can't fix. Side of bacon was perfectly crisp. They really know how to do their bacon insanely crispy here. It gets kind of thin and hard so if you like it on the meatier side, specify that! Sometimes the language barrier seemed to annoy some customers. It's VERY slight and I found the customers to be plain rude for no reason but the workers let it roll off them. BE KIND AND PATIENT!!! The food and service is worth it!

Chicken and waffles: 4 wings and waffle with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Wings and waffle were perfect!

Great food at great prices and portions! Found this place on a whim looking for brunch and love how it's local and home-y. The staff are super friendly and nice, though the space (counter) to dine in and eat is small, there was room for us! It seemed like a lot of people did to-go orders or phoned in to pick up. It also looked like they had a lot of regulars and I loved that the staff knew most of the people coming in. We got the fish (whiting) and grits with eggs and chicken (wings) and waffles! Waffles were amazing and offered with powdered sugar and cinnamon; chicken was fried perfectly! Fish was also great! Would definitely come back!

Outstanding short-order, home cooked breakfast at a great price! This place is definitely worth the visit. The service was friendly and helpful, and our meal was served hot within 10 minutes of placing our order. The restaurant does have a small footprint with limited barstool/countertop seating, but does offer take-out orders. Despite being located in a more urban area, the quality, service and value are all first-class. One of Philadelphia's best hidden gems / best hole-in-the-wall local eateries.

Chicken and waffles with Apple reduction and grits

If you like carbs and butter, this place is heaven. I got the fried chicken wings and waffles with a side of grits. The chicken wings were brined and very well seasoned with the crispiest skin. The woman sitting next to me recommended that I get the apple reduction on the waffles and although I would have preferred not to see them melt the bucket of butter and brown sugar in the pan, I ultimately didn't care - it was absolutely delicious. Post meal naps are mandatory. Plan accordingly.

Waiting on delicious meal!

Loved my first Dungeon Crawl at Silk City in July '26. Got there a little early and stopped into…read morethe beer garden to check out the menu and see how late the kitchen was open. I planned on grabbing something to go after the show. As I was perusing the menu I saw several dishes pass by and decided I couldn't wait any longer. In particular I noted the wings and chicken fingers, both of which looked amazing. I got a table next to the bar in their lovely beer garden. Has some TVs, a very friendly staff, and the food looked great. I was blown away by their chicken fingers. Obviously hand breaded, and served with Comeback sauce and your choice of ranch or blue cheese. I ate a few and saved the biggest one for a late night snack. Ended up eating it a couple days later and it was still delicious! I'll have to try the wings next time. Service was great, from hostess to servers, everyone had smiles. Food came out promptly and my drink was refilled without asking. Definitely a good start to the night. The Dungeon Crawl itself was the highlight of the evening! This is in the lounge/bar area of Silk City. It's an intimate setup with the stage in a corner with a dance floor and the bar area and a few tables at the other end. A DJ warms things up while the main act comes on at 8:00. It was Dogs in a Pile for my first visit and I was blown away by the sound and energy. 2 sets of amazing improv and jamming, with a dedicated crowd of music lovers. I can't wait to get to my next one!

Both meals were fresh, flavorful, generously portioned, and beautifully prepared. We would absolutely order them again. Our server, Benjamin, deserves special recognition. He was friendly, attentive, checked on us at just the right times, and never made us feel rushed. His service was outstanding and added to an otherwise wonderful dining experience. The only disappointment was the beverage pricing. I'll admit that we typically don't study the menu prices before ordering--that was probably our mistake. After eating in restaurants for more than 70 years, however, I can honestly say these beverage prices are among the most outrageous I've encountered. We were charged $3.99 for a single cup of black coffee and $5.99 for one glass of lemonade--nearly $10 for two beverages. The coffee was simply one ordinary cup of black coffee, and the lemonade was so incredibly sweet that it was almost undrinkable. Neither beverage came close to justifying its price. It's unfortunate because everything else was excellent. The quality of the food, the atmosphere, and Benjamin's exceptional service make Silver Diner a place we would gladly visit again. However, management should seriously reconsider charging nearly $10 for one standard cup of coffee and one mediocre glass of lemonade. Prices like that leave customers feeling taken advantage of and detract from what is otherwise a terrific dining experience. We'll definitely be back--but next time we'll probably skip the beverages unless the pricing becomes more reasonable.

We were seated right away and hot coffee arrived quickly along with the menu. The servers were friendly and food also arrived quickly. I can't believe how much food was on the plate!!! Just with the potatoes and omelette alone was a ginormous portion. It also came with toast of my choice. I got the Spanish omelette without mushrooms. Don't judge me for eating my eggs with ketchup, please! I liked how the eggs tasted but not so much for the potatoes. I found them too greasy. I also wish my basket of jellies came with more marmalade!! Still, the food and the service turnaround time was phenomenal given the volume of diners in the restaurant. If I'm back in the area again, I would love to try out their pancakes and waffles. The ones eaten by other diners looked delicious!

Inside, the food was fresh, plentiful, and delicious. We chose side salads instead of fries and they were a great size to start the meal.

My husband had the fish and chips and the cod was fried perfectly, 4 nice fillets, crisp outside and tender inside. He swapped the fries for a baked potato and it tasted like it came straight from the oven, hot and fluffy. They offered a long list of specials for 16.99 that included beverage, soup, salad, an entrée and dessert. The cakes and pies looked fabulous and many were ordering dessert. We were too full this time, but next visit we'll save room. Our waitress, Lala, was wonderfu, attentive, friendly and always checking in at the right moments. The manager greeted us warmly when we arrived and again when we left, which added to the friendly atmosphere. Plenty of parking and easy to get in and out. We would definitely recommend this diner and would happily return.
