About Silk City
A vintage stainless-steel diner car anchors the corner of 5th and Spring Garden, all counter stools, neon and shelves of kitsch; behind it sits a covered beer garden hung with plants and string lights, and an adjoining lounge hosts the weekend dance nights. The kitchen is why many come: chicken and waffles, shrimp burgers, empanadas, collard greens and shrimp and grits, with brunch from 10 AM on Saturday and Sunday and a long craft beer list. Hours run 11 AM to 11 PM through the week and stretch to 1 AM on Friday and Saturday, when the crowd shifts from diners and families to groups out dancing and the place hits its busiest point around 11 PM. Google shows 4.5 from more than 3,000 reviews; the food, the garden and friendly staff earn the praise, while slow takeout orders draw the occasional complaint. A Resy booking helps on weekend nights.
