    Love this place! Everytime I come to Philly it's a must. Perfect diner vibe and food is exactly what you expect. Great service as well!

    3 Pancakes with Meat
    Courtney C.

    Came here on Sunday 06/02/24 to grab some breakfast before day 2 of roots picnic. This is a legit diner down to the decor and seating. We were seated upon arrival and placed our orders within 10mins. Our foot arrived no more than 20mins after. We had: Steak and eggs: 10/10 the char on the steak was perfect as was the consistency of the eggs. Pancake breakfast (mine): 10/10 it came with 2 pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage. I opted for 4 pieces of bacon and added a side of grits. The density of the pancakes was perfect without being too heavy. Our waitress was very sweet and complimentary. She asked us questions about our trip and just made random conversation that was super organic. Kindness is free so I'm always happy to have pleasant interactions with people, regardless of how short. I wish I could remember her name but she was a shorter Caucasian woman with a short pulled back ponytail (hey girl hey!) I genuinely have no complaints. The diner was 24hrs so if I ever find myself in PA again I'd come back no question.

    Felt compelled to write a review after I had two great meals here, but also when I heard the building is being sold from local friends and I'll be sad to not be able to eat here again. Came here on a Saturday for breakfast and Sunday for brunch and no problem getting a seat, the old school diner vibe felt just like the warm cups of coffee they poured, and the food was very, very good. My breakfast was two eggs scrambled with srapple, hash browns and english muffin. Scrapple was fried up perfect, the cook on the browns were stellar, and I liked the whipped butter for my english muffin. Our server was super nice, and my friend who lives around the corner loved his breakfast sandwich. Came back the next day with a slight hangover, and again, it was such a good move. Our server this time was also super speedy and nice, the chicken salad triple decker sandwich was SO good. Lots of chicken, lots of bacon, and the fries were tasty! My friend got the special french toast with lemon, blueberry and the cookie butter and he was in heaven. Im hoping next time I visit, I can come back and order some more delicious food with a hot cup of coffee.

    Roast Turkey
    Steve S.

    A basic diner gets a basic review. It wasn't bad. I went for the turkey platter. I thought the turkey was really good. Not as much on the stuffing though. It was just ok but a little mushy and sweet for my taste. It was kind of weird that they put turkey gravy on the meat but brown gravy on the potatoes. It didn't work for me. I liked the soup though. And I like the fact that they have Melrose Diner desserts if I need my fix. And I like the atmosphere. The staff was nice. Even if the food was hit or miss.

    I'm a sucker for a great long-time diner. Not sure what the other ratings are about, but I enjoyed this place. Great Reuben. It's a diner, not a Michelin star restaurant.

    Country Omelette
    Leena S.

    Very average diner quality breakfast. I two poached eggs from the Breakfast All Day Menu and the husband went with the Country Omelette. Both entrees was just okay. The hash-browns were cold and my husbands were practically burnt (see photo). We were hoping to be in and out fairly quickly, but our food took a while, even though it was 9 AM on a Sunday morning and not crowded.

    Cheesesteak with fried onions and mushrooms
    Clare D.

    "This is the best cheesesteak I've had yet in Philly," my friend said, and we've been to all the cheesesteak places around town. "Tony Luke's was good, but this is better," he said. I was certainly amazed by the cheesesteak as well. Nice, chewy rolls filled with tender steak and fried onions. My friend said that the only room for improvement was more cheese. I felt there was enough. For top Philly cheesesteak, it definitely falls in the same top 5 as Woodrow's, Tony Luke's (on a good day), Sonny's, and Dalessandro's. The fries with their slightly crispy outside were great. The chicken parm sandwich was not as good. The chicken was a little chewy and stringy and bland. Lots of parking in front of the diner and around the block. Good service, too. Definitely stop in to try the cheesesteak.

    Brioche French Toast
    Bern R.

    Actually the food was very good and Fresh, We really enjoyed it We couldn't eat all of our meals so we took home a take-out container for it later. That was my first time there. I like it when it's not crowded We will be back

    Chocolate Chip Pancake
    Moira M.

    Classic diner food! This is just a no fuss good breakfast. You don't have to wait for a table on a Sunday. The food is delicious and comes out fast. The servers are quick and efficient. In a city full of overpriced brunch, this is a truly a gem where you can just go get a quick, delicious, reasonably priced breakfast.

    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!

We did have to wait a fair bit for our food order to be taken, and again for all four of our meals to come out. We all got breakfast items. I got the eggs Benedict which were very good. One of my friends got the breakfast sandwich called "Trenton makes - the World Takes" and I love the nod to some NJ history. Good food, nice ambiance. This was my first time here but I would definitely come back again.

I had the Power Breakfast, and my wife enjoyed the California Omelette. 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.

The meat was moist, tasty, properly salted, with a discernible bark. The amount of cheese, sauerkraut, & dressing accentuated the pastrami, although so much meat would be hard to impact!

While I was downtown, I picked up about $92 worth of food, including 1 1/2 pounds of shrimp salad that couldn't be ordered online because, for some reason, the website would not allow it. The very next day, when we went to eat it, something was clearly wrong. The shrimp salad caused a tingling sensation on our tongues, and it was obvious it had gone bad. I called the deli to let them know not just because we couldn't eat it, but because I thought they would want to know if there was a potential issue with the batch. Instead of receiving an apology or any concern, I was met with a dismissive response of, "Oh, that's weird," and the conversation felt condescending. I explained that I couldn't bring the shrimp salad back because I'm leaving town and my mother has limited mobility. I wasn't asking for a refund on our entire order. I simply asked if they could issue a gift card or store credit for the shrimp salad so my mother could use it on a future visit. Every possible solution I suggested was met with an excuse as to why it couldn't be done. The spoiled food was disappointing, but the lack of empathy and customer service was worse. Loyal customers deserve to be treated with respect when they raise a legitimate concern. After years of supporting 4th Street Deli, this experience has unfortunately convinced us that it will be our last visit. I'm reading they have new owners, so maybe it's not the same amazing management we are used to.

I'd recommend splitting! Also the cost wasn't bad either - the whole meal for three entrees, taxes, and a tip was pretty average for brunch in the city, costing us each (we split all the food in half) roughly $30.
