Went on a Thursday night and sat in the patio. Music was playing. They have happy hour till 7. Great 3 dollar tacos. And a huge portion of the menu is dairy, gluten free or both. Really delicious food

I've been eating at Rybrew for the past several years - it is by far my favorite sandwich and bottle shop in Philly. A variety of vegetarian options, gluten free bread, and fresh soup every day which has never let me down. Their salads are a meal - even a traditional hoagie eater like me didn't mind eating my greens here! They have an excellent selection of beers/ciders for any palette, with rotating specials/deals/favorites to help guide you. Their baked goods are great, too. That carrot cake cupcake is well worth the calories.

Lovely spaces indoors and outdoors. Menu with options for vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free diets. Well selected wines. Recommend the beet salad, grilled octopus, and seafood pasta. Efficient service. Relaxed meal in a nice atmosphere. Kudos!

Had a wonderful brunch. I loved the biscuits with turkey sausage gravy. The side dish of quinoa potatoes with onions and peppers was amazing. The gluten free waffles were perfect. Highly recommend

Fishtown Diner Review Google Maps leads you right to the front door. Street parking is available (when you can find it), or you can use a nearby shopping plaza a few blocks away and then walk a short distance to the diner. Upon entering, we were greeted by smiling faces, a warm dose of Philadelphia nostalgia, and murals gracing nearly every wall. We were seated in front of a mural featuring the Liberty Bell, a subway train car, a Fishtown bus, the Love Statue, and of course my favorite, the Rocky statue with the art museum in the background. Behind the register, another mural pays homage to local sports legends: the Philadelphia Eagles, Flyers, 76ers, and Phillies, celebrating the city's rich heritage. The diner offers a mix of tables, booths, and counter seating, while the menu boasts plenty of choices at reasonable prices. We arrived at 11:30 AM, and the atmosphere really picks up around noon, so I recommend getting there before 12 if you can. Now, let’s talk about the food. I enjoyed this experience with my wife and kiddo. My kiddo ordered the cookies and cream milkshake, which was rich and creamy, and he also tried the boston crème short stack pancakes. Although the portion was so large he couldn’t finish them, so come hungry! My wife, who has a gluten allergy, opted for the salmon and grits served with a fruit cup instead of bread. The salmon was cooked to perfection without tasting frozen or dried out, and its flavor was spot on. As for me, I went with the Fishtown omelet, accompanied by home fries and rye toast. When the server asked if I wanted peppers and onions with the home fries, I couldn’t resist when in Rome, right? Overall, the food was fantastic and the dining experience was truly memorable. Shout out to our server, Kat, you were awesome!

Good vegan and gluten free options. Would recommend the hobo hash and tofu scramble.

Last Saturday at noon, I had the pleasure of visiting Silk City Diner in Philadelphia. A diner reimagined, after its major renovation in 2007. The transformation, under new management, has turned it into a sleek modern space while still maintaining that classic diner vibe. The diner is located on Spring Garden Street, and while parking can be a bit tricky, there are street parking options nearby, as well as a valet service if needed. The place was quite full, which is a clear sign of its popularity. Given the lunchtime rush, I'd recommend making a reservation before heading there. The outdoor seating area looked nice however, we opted to sit inside. Next time, I'll definitely sit outside to enjoy the good weather while eating. The music was upbeat and created a lively atmosphere, making it a fun place to be. For starters, I tried the mac and cheese ($13), which was rich and creamy with a nice crispy top. For my main dish, I ordered the Kabayaki Glazed Salmon and rice ($26), which was cooked just right with the salmon itself being tender and flavorful especially with the kabayaki. My guest opted for the BBQ chicken wings ($12), which were smoky and had a great balance of tangy sweetness. Their menu is diverse, offering various dishes, from comfort food to more upscale options. If you're gluten-free or prefer something lighter, they have options, so don't be afraid to ask your server. And do try their fresh-squeezed juice! It's a great way to start your meal. The service was attentive and welcoming despite the full house. Our waiter was friendly, visiting often and offering suggestions. Overall, Silk City Diner is a great spot to experience diner cuisine in a modern setting, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty and enjoyable meal.
